- John Connor: I shouldn't be around people.
- Riley Dawson: Is that why you went nuclear on Mike?
- John Connor: No, that's... that's other stuff.
- Riley Dawson: Do you wanna talk about it?
- John Connor: Sometimes, yes... Mostly no.
- Riley Dawson: But sometimes yes...
- Eric: If Stark wanted to kill Chandler, why take out 43 innocent people?
- Cameron Phillips: It happens.
- Sarah Connor: [to Cameron] You never sleep. Make yourself useful.
- [Dumps the laundry basket into Cameron's hands]
- John Connor: Most efficient killing machine ever invented, - you get her doing the laundry.
- John Connor: Why'd you call me?
- Riley Dawson: Because... I wanted you to come.
- John Connor: Weird way of showing it.
- Riley Dawson: Oh, the flirting-with-Mike thing? I'm a teenage girl, John. We do that kind of crap to guys we like.
- Riley Dawson: [about her foster parents] They called me 'the deviant'. Like, "The deviant got a C in maths." or "Should we take the deviant to see Bruce Hornsby?" That's why I came up to you that day, John... Because I thought, since you're a weirdo, you might get me.
- John Connor: My foster parents used to call me 'the delinquent'.
- Eric: [of Myron Stark] He could have been an immigrant. Came through Ellis Island, shortened his name, worked his way up from nothing... It's the immigrant spirit: single-minded pursuit of a goal, never giving up - buying into the American dream.
- Cameron Phillips: An effective strategy?
- Eric: Either that, or he robbed banks.
- Eric: [after planting that idea into Cameron's head] You really think he robbed banks?
- Cameron Phillips: It's a very effective strategy.
- Eric: But why, what did he need it for?
- Cameron Phillips: To buy into the American dream.
- Cameron Phillips: [of Will Chandler] 400 people came to his funeral. He had a lot of friends.
- Eric: His father had a lot of money. There is a difference.
- Cameron Phillips: Do you ever think about dying?
- Eric: About what?
- Cameron Phillips: Or about suicide?
- Eric: Why would I think about that?
- Cameron Phillips: Because there's something wrong with you.
- Eric: Gee, don't ever look for work as a counselor.
- Eric: No wonder you don't have any friends. You can't just do things like that. You can't just show up whenever you need something. Can't carry a gun around and freak people out, and walk into the bathroom when a guy's taking a leak and ask him if he's gonna kill himself. And you can't just blurt things out like "You have cancer!" - especially to someone who's already had it. You have no clue, do you? You have no idea what it's like to have something inside of you - something that's damaged.
- Cameron Phillips: It's like a bomb... waiting to go off.
