Scene description
More conversation between John and the Terminator about feelings and killing people.

Reason cut
Van Ling (Creative Supervisor), in T2, the Book of the Film, An Illustrated Screenplay:
In the final film, the scene ends on Terminator's blank reaction to John's question "Haven't you figured out why you can't kill people?" John's last speech in the car on the way to Dyson --about man's fear of death-- was deemed somewhat preachy and unnecessary and was cut.

Comments
This scene is re-inserted back into the special edition version of T2.

A123    EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

        TRACKING WITH THE BRONCO, Terminator and John heading toward L.A.

                                TERMINATOR
                This is tactically dangerous.

                                JOHN
                Drive faster.

                                TERMINATOR
                The T-1000 has the same files that I do.  It
                could anticipate this move and reacquire you
                at Dyson's house.

                                JOHN
                I don't care.  We've gotta stop her.

                                TERMINATOR
                Killing Dyson might actually prevent the war.

                                JOHN
                I don't care!! There's gotta be another way.
                Haven't you learned anything?!  Haven't you
                figured out why you can't kill people?

        Terminator is still stumped.

                                JOHN
                Look, maybe you don't care if you live or die.
                But everybody's not like that!  Okay?!  We have
                feelings.  We hurt.  We're afraid.  You gotta
                learn this stuff, man, I'm not kidding.  It's
                important.

        PANNING as they pass, revealing the lights of the city ahead.
