This is John Connor."** - This quote reflects John Connor's uncertainty about the outcome of the war but also his determination to continue fighting regardless of the odds. 4. **"What are you? You should be dead! I killed you!"** - This line is part of a more personal broadcast where John Connor addresses the machines directly, showing his anger and determination to defeat them.
