Terminator Dialogs

 

Arnys lines from the five Terminator pictures

When the movie "The Terminator" first came out I was enthralled. A decent science fiction story starring the PERFECT robot with a lot of action. Who wouldn't be? Later when I moved into the VCR era, I bought the first 2 Terminator movies available at that time and decided to write down every one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's lines.

 

On Tuesday Nov. 11, 2003 Terminator III became available on DVD and I, of course, got a copy. I spent an evening writing down Arny's lines! But this is not an obsession, I swear. Otherwise it would be on an ""Obsessions"" page.

 

And it won't stop...ever. As of now (April 2020, in the depths of the Corona Virus crisis) I've added Terminator: Dark Fate. Genisys has also been added.

 

I have decided to share my transcriptions with the world and so include all five TERMINATOR movie Arny dialogs. No, you needn't send any money unless you really want to. Please be advised that there is the use of strong language in these dialogs, proceed appropriately.

 

But first...of course....some statistics. Terminator I: Arny had some 16 dialog sections (or, as I like to call them, soliloquies) with a total of 26 sentences. But, hey, he was a newcomer. Since that time, long ago, he has become something of a box office sensation and one would expect his line totals to increase. And the statistics bear this out:

 

Terminator II: Arny has 102 dialog sections with a total of 132 sentences! He was at his nadir on Terminator II, there was no increasing his box office appeal and so the third saw only a slight increase in dialog time.

 

Terminator III: 105 dialog sections with 148 sentences.

 

Terminator IV: 79 dialog sections with 125 sentences.

 

Terminator V: 46 dialog sections with 78 sentences.

 

As of T4: Interestingly, however, his sentences to dialog section ratio was highest in the first Terminator! BUT, as of T5 he achieved the highest ratio.

 

T1 : 1.625

T2 : 1.294

T3 : 1.410

T4 : 1.582

T4 : 1.695

 

These transcripts give you great fodder for cocktail parties and such. Questions like "What was the last line Arny uttered in Terminator I?" are now easily studied and memorized.

 

Finally, what are the most common things Arny says? A quick, unofficial, glance shows these to be "I'll be back" (of course), "Negative", "Now", "Get out", and "Get down".

 

Without further ado, the transcripts.
