SARAH (V.O.) (cont'd)
If they couldn't defeat their enemy
in the present, they would fight
their defenseless ancestors in the
past.
Sarah removes her goggles revealing a beautiful young woman.
SARAH (V.O.) (cont'd)
They went after the weak.

INT. BARN

Cavernous and dark. She takes off her winter gear and pack.
SARAH (V.O.)
I didn't travel through time alone. I
had two, broken, brainless,
Terminators in tow. Story of my life.
INSERT SHOT: The T-1000 grabbing her leg as she jumped back
in time.
Sarah sets another folded cloth and opens it revealing the
broken T-800 CPU.
She ventures deeper into the barn to reveal the T-1000,
inert, chained to a post.
She steps towards the inert T-1000.
25.
She inserts the CPU into the T-1000.
SARAH (V.O.) (cont'd)
The T-800 said the T-1000 was a
prototype terminator. Maybe if I put
the T-800's brain in the T-1000's
body, it can fix it.
He stirs to life.
Sarah keeps her distance.
Sa-rah?

And my body?
SARAH
I maybe, sort of, ripped the head off
and left it behind in the 50's.
(beat)
I was trying to warn the world about
terminators!
(beat)
But the 50's were a drag. Who knew
they hated women so much. When I told
everybody about Judgement Day the
Army wanted to lock me up and dissect
my brain. So I used the time machine
and came back home, but home is not
home. It's like they haven't invented
anything smarter than a toaster in 30
years.

No video games, no microwaves, no
cordless phones, no malls, no credit

April 12th, 1961. Yuri Gagarin pilots
the worlds first manned space flight?
Beats me.

1968. Douglas Engelbart demonstrates
the first human computer interface at
Menlo Park in San Francisco
California?

I have no idea?

Febuary 6th, 1982. Leo Daniels of
Carolina Beach scores 40,101,910
points on Asteroids
SARAH
I know that one! Never happened.
T-800
These are all key moments in human
history that lead to the creation of
SKYNET. Without them it can't exist.
(beat)
Your plan was successful. Without
SKYNET there can be no war.
SARAH
Yeah but it sucks! I don't want to
live in world with no Yuri whatever
or where we don't go to the moon. A
world with no Olivia Newton-John! We
need to fix things.
T-800
But how? The time-machine?
SARAH
Too dangerous. Besides I smashed the
T-1000's brain-thingy. Do you, do you
think you can invent all this stuff?
Like computers, and space ships.
27.
Perhaps.

SARAH
We need technology. It never made
sense to me why a computer would want
to kill us, unless it wanted to BE
us. So maybe the best way to prevent
Judgement Day isn't to get rid of
technology, but be better people. And
I can't think of a better person to
do it but you, a terminator.
A BABY cries off screen. An akward moment betwen them.
SARAH (cont'd)
You said back in the motel that you
were exactly like a regular person,
physicaly, in every way.
T-800
That's impossible.
Is it?
Unlikely.
SARAH
T-800
SARAH
Not the same thing as impossible.
T-800
What's his name?
SARAH
John. Had a better ring to it than
Cyberdyne Systems T-800 Terminator,
Junior.
They both stand and move in for a kiss.
SARAH (cont'd)
Let's not get carried away. We have a
lot of work to do.
They kiss. The End. 'Carried Away' by Olivia Newton-John
plays.
