The Terminator – Dr. Silberman Quotes
Sarah Connor: You’re a doctor?
Dr. Silberman: [Yawning] Criminal psychologist.
Sarah Connor: Is Reese crazy?
Dr. Silberman: Well, that’s what we’re gonna find out.
Dr. Silberman: Well, how are you supposed to get back?
Kyle Reese: I can’t. Nobody goes home. Nobody else comes through. It’s just him – and me.
Dr. Silberman: Why this elaborate scheme with the Terminator?
Kyle Reese: It had no choice. Their defense grid was smashed. We’d won. Taking out Connor then would make no difference. Skynet had to wipe out his entire existence!
Dr. Silberman: Why didn’t you bring any weapons, something more advanced? Don’t you have, uh, ray guns? Show me a piece of future technology.
Kyle Reese: You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go.
Dr. Silberman: Why?
Kyle Reese: I DIDN’T BUILD THE F***ING THING!
Dr. Silberman: Okay, okay. But this cyborg, if it’s metal-
Kyle Reese: Surrounded by living tissue!
Dr. Silberman: Right. Now, why were the other two women killed?
Kyle Reese: Most of the records were lost in the war. Skynet knew almost nothing about Connor’s mother. Her full name, where she lives. They just knew the city. The Terminator was just being systematic.
Dr. Silberman: Uh-huh. Okay, now let’s get back to-
Kyle Reese: [interrupts] Look! You’ve heard enough! I have answered your questions! Now I have to see Sarah Connor!
Dr. Silberman: I’m afraid that’s not up to me.
Kyle Reese: Then why am I talking to you? Who is in authority here?
Dr. Silberman: Please, I-
Kyle Reese: SHUT UP! [glares the camera] You still don’t get it, do you!? He’ll find her! That’s what he does! It’s all he does! You can’t stop him! He’ll wade through you, reach down her throat, and pull her f***ing heart out!!
