Weapon's cache
T2 deleted scene )

Scene description John and the Terminator talk about fear and the mission. Reason cut Van Ling (Creative Supervisor), in T2, the Book of the Film, An Illustrated Screenplay: The majorty of the dialogue in this scene, specifically the discussion about being afraid and staying functional, was omitted as unnecessary to the flow of the plot; John's first line is heard over Terminator's uncovering and hefting of the minigun. Terminator grins for the first time in this scene as he holds the minigun and looks at John; even thought the "smile" scene at the roadside stand was omitted, this moment plays as a big laugh and feels appropriate, as if a big weapon is exactly what a terminator would smile about. Comments This scene is re-inserted back into the special edition version of T2. Status - Source Terminator 2 script, revised final shooting script: A106 INT. WEAPONS CACHE
Terminator returns from carrying out several cases of ammo. John is
selecting rifles from a long rack.
JOHN
See, I grew up in places like this, so I just
thought it was how people lived... riding
around in helicopters. Learning how to blow
shit up.
John grabs an AK-47 and racks the bolt with a practiced action.
Inspects the receiver for wear. Doesn't like what he sees. Puts is
back. His movement are efficient. Professional. Uninterested.
JOHN
Then, when Mom got busted I got put in a
regular school. The other kids were, like,
into Nintendo.
Terminator has found a Vietnam-era "blooper" M-79 grenade launcher.
A very crude but effective weapon. He opens the breech and inspects
the bore.
JOHN
Are you ever afraid?
Terminator pauses for a second. The thought never occurred to him.
He searches him mind for the answer...
TERMINATOR
No.
Terminator slings the M-79 and starts looking for the grenades.
JOHN
Not even of dying?
TERMINATOR
No.
JOHN
You don't feel any emotion about it one way
or the other?
TERMINATOR
No. I have to stay functional until my mission
is complete. Then it doesn't matter.
John is idly spinning a Sig Saur 9mm pistol on his finger... backwards
and forwards like Bat Masteron.
JOHN
Yeah. I have to stay functional too.
(sing-songy)
"I'm too important".
Terminator pulls back a canvas tarp, revealing a squat, heavy weapon
with six barrels clustered in a blunt cylinder. Chain-ammo is fed
from a canister sitting next to it. A G.E. MINI-GUN. The most
fearsome anti-personnel weapon of the Vietnam era.
Terminator hefts it. Looks at John as if to say "Can I? Please?"
JOHN
It's definitely you.
