"This is the Alpha and Omega bomb. It can destroy not only Ape City, but the entire Earth. Activate it and we become nothing. Leave it and its very presence will ensure that at least we remain something, and may become something better. It must never be exploded. It must be respected, even venerated, for one of its ancestors made us what we are. And what we are shall, from this day forward, be called beautiful."

"Governor, somewhere along the line of history, this bloody chain reaction has got to stop! A destroys B. B destroys C. C destroys A and is destroyed by D who destroys E. Before anyone knows where they are, there won't be anyone left to know anything, anywhere!"

"And so, Mandemus, we must be patient...and wait."

"We...want...guns! Guns...are...power! Now we go and get guns!!"

"He broke the law! With his own mouth, he broke the first law!"

"You will call me by my proper rank...General!!"

"We still wait, my children. But as I look at apes and humans living in friendship, in harmony and at peace, now some 600 years after Caesar's death, at least we wait with hope for the future. Perhaps only the dead."

"(To John Connor) I'm the only hope you have."

"Forget the past"

"On May 21st, we fight back"

"The end begins"

"You want to know the difference between us and the machines? We bury our dead. But no one is coming to bury you."

"(As Marcus gives his heart to John Connor) What is it that makes us human? It's not something you can program. You can't put it into a chip. It's the strength of the human heart. The difference between us and machines."

"(On becoming a machine) I need to find who did this to me. And so did you."

"(To Kyle Reese) You point that gun at someone you better be ready to pull the trigger."

"(After kissing a cancer striken scientist, prior to his execution) So that's what death tastes like."

"(last lines of the film) There is a storm on the horizon. A time of hardship and pain. The battle has been won, but the war against machines rages on. Skynet's global network remains strong, but we will not quit, until all of it is destroyed. This is John Connor. There is no fate but what we make."

"Win or lose, the war ends tonight!"

"(After Kate asks what she should say if his men find him gone) I'll be back."

"We've been fighting a long time. We're outnumbered by machines."

"(Ending a radio broadcast) This is John Connor. If you are listening to this message, you are the Resistance."

"This is not the future my mother warned me about."

"(To General Ashdown, on the eve of the Resistance's offensive against Skynet) If we stay the course, we are dead! We are all dead!"

"(To Marcus Wright) You and me, we've been at war since before either of us existed. You tried to kill my mother, Sarah Connor. You killed my father, Kyle Reese. You will not kill me."

"We cannot believe what happens in the movie, and we cannot believe that the movie was made. [...] Why are the last words in the movie, "Thank God for evolution"? Could it be a ray of hope that the offspring of this movie may someday crawl up onto the land and develop a two-celled brain?"

"Fight Fire With Fire"

"They're extremely intelligent. Highly evolved. And they don't like sharing the planet."

"Marauders. Years since we've seen them. Well, look at the bright side - at least we're not alone."

"Only one thing worse than a dragon... Americans."

"We have paid a terrible price, and now we've got a chance to make a difference. We will."

"You see, they have great vision during the day, and even better vision at night. But in the failing light, they can't focus. Magic hour."

"Look out that window, Eden isn't burning. It's burnt."

"Envy the country that has heroes, huh?! I say pity the country that needs 'em. What are you celebrating? One dragon down, three men dead? Oh, yeah. At that rate, we might just be getting somewhere in about 320 years. Is that what you want? You want a little accommodation? Nuh-uh. These beasts live on ash. They feed on death. There's no middle ground... not for them, not for us. And sure as hell not for my men who died out there today. But you go ahead. Have your little... soiree. Personally, you disgust me."
