ACTOR: Judgment Day. The end of the world. It’s today, three hours from now.

ARNOLD: Two hours and 56 minutes. We must continue south into Mexico to escape the primary blast zones. The Mojave area will sustain significant nuclear fallout. You will not survive.

ACTOR: You mean we go hide somewhere in a hole while the bombs fall?

ARNOLD: It is your destiny.

ACTOR: Fuck my destiny. [actor puts a gun to his head]

ARNOLD: You cannot self-terminate.

ACTOR: No, you can’t. I can do whatever I want. I’m a human being. I’m not some goddamn robot. Either we get her father to shut Skynet down and stop this shit from ever happening, or so much for the great John Connor. Because your future, my destiny, I don’t want any part of it. I never did.

ARNOLD: Based on your pupil dilation, skin temperature and motor functions I calculate an 64% probability that you will not pull the trigger.

JEAN PAUL SARTRE: Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. Life has no meaning a priori, it is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.
