Scene description After the Terminator says that he can't learn, because SKYNET switches the chips to read-only when it send Terminators back through time, John and Sarah 'operate' on the Terminator and get the chip. Sarah wants to destroy the chip, beacause she doesn't trust the Terminator. John shows some authority and says that they need the Terminator. Reason cut Van Ling (Creative Supervisor), in T2, the Book of the Film, An Illustrated Screenplay: One of the major lifts from the film was the entire head operation scene. The scene had been shot in its entirety and edited in, but was ultimately deemed unnecessary to the plot and was cut for time. To explain Terminator's ability to use human expressions later in the film, a bridging line of dialogue for Terminator was added in postproduction: "The more contact I have with humans, the more I learn." Comments - Status - Source Terminator 2 script, revised final shooting script: JOHN
Can you learn? So you can be... you know.
More human. Not such a dork all the time.
Terminator turns towards him.
TERMINATOR
My CPU is a neural-net processor... a learning
computer. But Skynet presets the switch to
"read-only" when we are sent out alone.
SARAH
(cynical)
Doesn't want you thinking too much, huh?
TERMINATOR
No.
JOHN
Can we reset the switch?
CUT TO:
88 E.C.U. OF AN X-ACTO KNIFE cutting into Terminator's scalp at the base
of his skull. His voice calmly directs Sarah as she spreads the bloody
incision and locates the maintenance port for the CPU in the chrome
skull beneath.
TERMINATOR
Now open the port cover.
She wipes away the blood and uses the garage-mechanic's air tools to
unscrew the port cover.
88A TERMINATOR POV (DIGITIZED) as he watches her work in a mirror they've
taken from the washroom. Sarah and John are standing behind him.
Her hands are covered with blood, like a surgeon's.
TERMINATOR
Hold the CPU by its base tab. Pull.
Following the instructions, she reaches in with a pair of tweezers and
PULLS -- there is a BURST OF STATIC and the screen goes BLACK.
CUT TO:
89 TIGHT ON JOHN AND SARAH looking at what she has removed. A reddish-
brown ceramic rectangle with a connector on one end. About the size
and shape of a domino. On close inspection it appears to be made up
of small cubes connected together. It is identical to the shattered
one in the vault at Cyberdyne Systems. Now we know it is that that
Miles Dyson values so highly. The brain of a terminator.
89A WIDER. John walks around Terminator and looks at his face.
Eyes open, he is completely inert. Dead.
John lifts his huge hand. The dead servos whine sullenly as he forces
them. It's like rigor mortis. He releases the hand and it stays in
the lifted position. Sarah examines the CPU chip.
JOHN
Can you see the pin switch?
She ignores him. See looks at Terminator.
The back at the chip.
Then she sets it on the work table and picks up a small sledge hammer.
John realizes what she is about to do. Dives at her as the sledge is
whistling down.
JOHN
No!!!!
He slaps his hand down over the chip.
Sarah barely stops the sledge before smashing his fingers.
SARAH
Out of the way, John!
JOHN
No! Don't kill him!
SARAH
It, John. Not him. It.
JOHN
Alright, it! We need it!
John keeps his hand right where it is.
SARAH
We're better off by ourselves.
JOHN
But it's the only proof we have to the future...
about the war and all that.
SARAH
I don't trust it! These things are hard to
kill, John, believe me, I know. We may never
have this opportunity again.
JOHN
Look, Mom, if I'm supposed to ever be this great
leader, you should start listening to my
leadership ideas once in a while. 'Cause if you
won't, nobody else will.
Smart kid. He's got her. She nods, reluctantly. He palms the chip
and studies it minutely.
89B John takes a pin and moves the almost invisible switch to the other
position.
It is now in "write" mode. Then he grimaces as he inserts the wafer
back into the slot in Terminator's skull.
89C TERMINATOR VISION flares back to life in a burst of static. The image
forms. Sarah and John stands behind him in the mirror.
TERMINATOR
Was there a problem?
John glances sheepishly at Sarah, Then smiles at Terminator.
JOHN
No problem. None whatsoever.
