Suburbia
Saturday, December 22, 1990
8: 05 PM.
The T-800 arrives naked in Suburbia on the search for Kim Boggs and her friend Edward. But first, he has to find some clothes. He stumbles across a local bowling alley and walks in. Bob Dylan's The Man in Me is playing on the jukebox. All the patrons inside give him weird looks and murmurs. He approaches a gang of bowlers led by a Big Lebowski-esque burnout who is nicknamed "The Guy".
"What the hell do you want?" asks The Guy.
"I need your clothes, your boots, and your automobile, now", said the T-800.
But The Guy gets up and says, "How about this: go fuck yourself, you fuckin' asshole." And punches the T-800 in the face while laughing. But then he grabs the guy by the neck and throws him across the lane. One of his buddies pulls out a pistol and tries to shoot him. But then the T-800 twists the man's arm resulting in a compound fracture and gets the gun away from him. He walks over to the man and points the gun at him. He gives the T-800 the keys to his car and gives him his clothes which consist of a leather jacket, a Metallica T-shirt, jeans and cowboy style boots. After he puts the clothes on, he goes out to the parking lot and finds the guy's car which is a 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagon which has a shotgun with loads of ammo in the back. But as he gets in, one of the guy's friends approaches him and holds a switchblade knife to the T-800.
"I can't let you take that car, Sonny. Now give me the keys and get the fuck out of here", he says.
But the T-800 turns around slowly and takes the knife away from him and takes a pair of sunglasses from the guy's jacket pocket and puts them on. He finally gets in the station wagon, and turns the key. He then drives off to find Kim and Edward.
Meanwhile, Kim's family is getting ready to be holding their annual Christmas party. Kim is wearing a white shoulderless long sleeved dress with white stockings on her legs and white high heels. Kim is helping her mother Peg decorate the Christmas tree while her father is putting up lights on the roof. Her younger brother Kevin hanging out at a friend's house.
"It needs something more", said Peg.
"More bells?" asked Kim while holding out a bell to her mother.
"More bells", said Peg as she takes the bell from Kim.
"Mom, do you really think that we should be having this party?" asked Kim.
"Of course I do. It's just what we need to calm everyone down and then things will just go back to normal", said Peg.
"Do you have any more bells?" asked Peg.
Kim goes to get some more bells when she sees a substance which resembles snow falling from the window. She goes outside and sure enough, she sees snow falling. It's coming from Edward who is cutting an ice sculpture which greatly resembles her as a angel. She approaches the base of it more closely and then she starts dancing in the falling snow like a princess. Kim proceeds to dance in it for about 2 minutes. But then her ex-boyfriend Jim ruins the moment.
"Hey!" he yells.
It results in Edward accidentally cutting Kim's hand as he's coming down from the ladder. Jim then approaches Kim.
"It's just a scratch, Jim! Really!" pleaded Kim.
"Now, you've done it! STAY BACK!" yells Jim.
"Touch her again and I'll kill you", continued Jim. Peg rushes outside to see what's going on.
"Call a doctor. He skewered Kim", said Jim.
"He didn't skewer me!" yelled Kim.
Rather than listen to Kim, Peg takes her in the house to clean Kim's hand cut. Jim then turns to Edward.
"Stay away from her, Okay? I mean it" said Jim angrily. He then pushes Edward.
"You can't touch anything without destroying it", continued Jim.
"Who do you think you are, hanging around?" asked Jim, pushing Edward again.
Meanwhile, Peg walks Kim in the living room.
"I want you to sit down and wait for me to bring you ice", said Peg.
Kim then sits down on the couch.
"Stay right there, I'll be right back", said Peg as she walks in the kitchen.
Kim then takes a napkin and cleans her hand wound.
Meanwhile, Jim finally finishes berating Edward.
"Get the hell outta here!" yells Jim, pushing Edward.
"Get the hell out! Go, freak!" continues Jim.
Edward then exits the backyard and begins walking towards the neighborhood. Kim's father Bill is putting decorations on the roof when he sees Edward walking down the street.
"Hey Edward! Where you going?" asked Bill, slowly coming down from the roof. But Edward doesn't hear him.
Meanwhile, the T-800 has some additional duties to take care of first before he can find Kim and Edward. He has to find a gun store to pick up some guns and ammo for self-defense. However, he's having trouble finding it. He comes across two pimps in the street. The T-800 pulls over and approaches them for directions.
"Nice night for a drive eh?" asks Pimp 1.
"Nice night for a drive", replies the T-800.
"Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean right?" asks Pimp 2.
"Nothing clean right", said the T-800.
"I think this guy's a couple cans short of a six-pack", said Pimp 1.
"I'm looking for the gun store", said the T-800.
"I know where it is, it's up your fuckin' asshole", said Pimp 1.
"Now, get outta here and fuck your mama", continued Pimp 1.
The T-800 isn't very amused and pulls out his pistol and shoots the pimp twice in the stomach before shooting him again in the head. The other pimp tries to grab him, but the T-800 shoots him in the stomach. He then looks across the street and he sees a phone booth with someone using it. He gets out of the car and approaches the phone booth. Then he pushes the guy away from the phone and finds a phone book. He then finds the gun store's address in the book. He then gets back in his car and makes his way for the gun store.
The Boggs Residence
Kim goes in the backyard to comfort Edward. But she sees Jim out there instead of Edward. She confronts him.
"Where is he?!" asked Kim.
"He tried to hurt you!" replied Jim.
"No, he did not and you know it!" said Kim.
"Are you nuts?! I just saw him!" said Jim.
"Jim, I don't love you anymore. I just want you to go okay? Just go!" said Kim.
"Are you serious? Lose me to that? He isn't even human", said Jim.
That remark finally causes Kim to snap.
"JUST GET OUT OF HERE! OKAY?! JUST GO!" yells Kim.
He then leaves the backyard and gets back in his van. Her father, Bill finally comes down from the roof.
"Dad, did you see where Edward went?" asked Kim.
"I don't know. He just waltzed down the street", replied Bill.
"We have to find him", said Kim.
"Your father will find him dear", said Peg as she walks her daughter in the house. Bill then takes off to find Edward, who meanwhile is storming down the street. He cuts his white buttoned down shirt off of him. As he walks he cuts the leg of of a tree sculpture which represents a dancing woman. One of the neighbors then looks out the window and goes: "Oh, Edward! I'm calling the police". then he approaches one of the neighbors cars and pokes out one of the tires. One of the neighbors named Esmeralda is playing her organ when she hears the some rustling coming from outside. She moves the blinds to only find a sculpture which represents a devil.
Crosshairs Gun Store

The T-800 pulls out at the front of the gun store. But it is closed for the night. He walks up to the glass door to open it but it's locked. He then takes his fist and punches the glass door which smashes it. He unlocks the door and walks in. He manages to get 2 more shotguns, some pistols and loads of ammo. He also manages to find a phone book on the cashier's desk as well. He also manages to find a hidden box of grenades which is on the floor under the desk. He then takes the stolen guns, grenades and ammo and puts it in the car. He grabs the phone book and finds Kim's name and address. He then makes his way towards Kim's house.
The Boggs Residence
Peg is finishing up cleaning up Kim's hand cut when there's a knock on the door. Peg answers it to find a police officer standing there.
"Mrs. Boggs, I'm here to see the man with the hands", said the police officer.
"Oh…well…" said Peg stuttering.
"He's not here. Thank you", replied the Police officer. The police officer leaves in search of Edward. At the same time a majority of the female neighbors led by Joyce get together and talk about what they saw. The police officer then encounters the women.
"I'm looking for the man with the scissors", said the police officer.
"Thank god you're here. He went that way", said the women as the proceed to chat away.
"All right, calm down. Go home, we'll handle it. Just go home", said the police officer.
"He's a demon. He's a demon", said Esmeralda.
"You've gotta catch him", said Joyce.
"I think he's at my house", said another one of the neighbors.
The officer then drives off to find Edward.
Local Movie Theater
8:28 P.M.
The T-800 drives in front of a local movie theater that's playing Rocky V starring Sylvester Stallone. The T-800 grabs his Uzi-9mm that he stole from the gun store and then he gets out of the car and slowly starts approaches the Rocky V poster. Once he approaches it he closely examines it. The T-800 is unamused. He then takes his Uzi-9mm and shoots at the poster. Bullets and glass from the poster frame start flying all over the pavement. Bullets pierce through the poster one by one. The T-800 then starts to walk away from the bits of poster and glass and approaches the marquee with the Rocky V text. The T-800 reloads the Uzi-9mm and shoots the marquee. Glass and sparks go flying all over the place. The T-800 gets back in the car and continues his search for Kim and Edward.
The Boggs Residence
Kim looks out the window, hoping to find Edward. Her mother Peg is sitting on the couch.
"I'm sure your father will find him soon", said Peg.
"What time is it?" asked Kim.
"It's almost 8:30. Great party huh?" replies Peg.
Kim then joins Peg on the couch.
"Where are they? God, I hope he's okay", said Kim. There is a silence between the both of them.
"You know when I brought Edward down here, I didn't think things through. And I didn't think about what could happen to him, or to us, or to the neighborhood.
But now I think its best if he goes back up there. At least there he's safe." Said Peg.
Suddenly Kim's father Bill entered the house.
"Well I got as far as the Whitman's and I couldn't find him", said Bill.
"Well let's get in the car and go look for him", said Peg.
"Where's Kevin now?", asked Bill.
"He's at Max's", replies Peg.
Kim gets up and follows them.
"Where do you think you're going young lady?" asked Bill.
"With you guys", replies Kim.
"No. You're staying here in case someone shows up", replies Bill.
"We'll be right back", said Peg.
Her parents then leave to find Edward. Kim starts to look scared.
8:35 P.M.
Meanwhile the T-800 stops at a rest stop to use the bathroom. He walks inside and sees three stalls. The one in the middle is taken the other two are out of order. The T-800 walks to the middle one. He tries to push the door open but it's locked.
"HEY! Do you mind?! I'm trying to take a shit! Use one of the other ones!" yells the man using the toilet.
The T-800 then bangs on the door again.
"What the fuck is your problem, man?! If you don't cut that fuckin' shit out, I'll kick your motherfuckin' ass when I come out", yells the man.
The T-800 then breaks open the door, grabs the man by his shirt and throws him headfirst into a urinal, knocking him out unconscious.
He then goes into the stall to take care of his business.
Suburbia
Edward is sitting on one of the neighbors driveways when a sheepdog with it's fur covering it's eyes walks up to Edward. Edward then cuts the fur that's covering the dog's eyes off. The dog then walks away. Edward then sees the cop car and proceeds to get up and start running from the cops. He manages to escape the cops and get to Kim's house. Edward then opens the door and walks in. Kim then approaches him from behind.
"Edward." said Kim softly.
"Are you okay?" asked Edward.
"Yes. Are you okay?" asked Kim.
Edward nodded.
"Where is everybody?" asked Edward.
"Out looking for you", replied Kim.
Silence occurs between the both of them.
"Hold me." said Kim in a quiet tone.
Edward raised his hands getting ready to hug her, but he puts his arms back down.
"I can't." Edward replied quietly as he walks to the living room window.
Kim follows him and falls into his arms.
As Edward holds Kim, he begins having a flashback of the time his inventor died.
The inventor is opening up an early Christmas gift for Edward. It's a pair of human hands.
"I know it's a little early for Christmas, Edward", said the inventor.
"But, I have a present for you", continued the inventor, as he takes the hands out of the box.
He then approaches Edward with the hands. Edward then looks at the hands with excitement. Then all of a sudden, the inventor's smile then turns to a frown as he falls to the floor dead from a heart attack. The fall then results in Edward accidentally destroying the hands. He then tries to touch the inventor to see if he's OK, but he ends up accidentally cutting the inventor's face. The flashback then ends as Edward continues to hold Kim.

"Hey, are you going to pay for that?" asks the manager.
The T-800 turns to face him but doesn't say anything.
"You have to pay for that or I'll call the fucking cops", said the manager.
Then the T-800 pulls out his pistol.
"Okay, fine it's yours. Just take it all and go", replies the manager. Then the T-800 shoots the manager in the head, killing him.

Suburbia
8:40 P.M.
Meanwhile Jim and his friend are getting drunk in his van.
"Forget holding her hand. Picture the damage he could do in other places", said Jim.
"Yeah, that's sick", said his friend.
Both him and his friend have both had one beer too many and looks like his friend is about to throw up.
"I feel like I'm going to pass out or puke or something", said his friend.
"Later, first take me to her house", said Jim.
"Come on, don't make me drive", said his friend.
"JUST DO IT!" yells Jim.
"Jesus, maybe she was right about you", said his friend.
"JUST DRIVE!" yells Jim.
His friend finally gets up and gets in the driver's seat of the van.
Meanwhile, Kim's younger brother Kevin is walking home from his friend's house for his family's Christmas party. He then encounters one of the neighbors.
"Have they caught him yet?" asked the neighbor.
"Who?" asked Kevin.
"Him. That cripple", replied the neighbor.
"Let me know when they do, let us all know", continued the neighbor.
Kim and Edward look out the window and see Jim driving his van into all the sculptures that Edward made. The van is running in the direction of Kim's brother Kevin. Edward manages to get him and quickly brings him to safety. But not before accidentally scratching Kevin's face. This manages to capture the attention of the neighbors, who all crowd Edward. They all think that Edward is trying to kill Kevin. Edward manages to accidently cut a neighbor in the hand who tries to get Edward off of Kevin.
Meanwhile, the T-800 stops at a stoplight, when all of a sudden, a carjacker approaches the driver's side of the car holding a revolver at him.
"All right, get out of the car", said the carjacker. But the T-800 just ignores him.
"HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU! I SAID GET OUT OF THE MOTHERFUCKING CAR NOW, MOTHERFUCKER!" yells the carjacker.
"ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF, GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR NOW!" yells the carjacker, grabbing the T-800 by his shoulder. Then the T-800 turns his head and grabs the carjacker's hand and crushes it. He then pulls out his pistol and aims for his head.
He shoots the carjacker twice in the head killing him. He then gets out of the car and gets the carjacker's gun and gets the ammo from his pocket. He then gets back in his car and continues his search for Kim and Edward.
Suburbia
Kim rushes outside to approach Edward, but Jim grabs her from behind.
"LET GO OF ME!" screams Kim.
"Why?" asked Jim.
"Kevin!" yelled Kim.
Kim then breaks from Jim's grip. Then Kim's parents pull up and see the neighbors crowd Edward. They approach Edward and the beg for him to come home. But before he can get up, Jim jumps on top of Edward and proceeds to beat him up. Kim begs Jim to stop but he doesn't listen. Edward manages to cut Jim in the arm and he gets off Edward and takes off. Kim then approaches Edward and a moment of silence occurs. When they hears police sirens, Kim knows exactly what to do.
"Run!" said Kim.
Edward then takes off to the mansion The police and neighbors follow him. Peg then run towards the crowd.
"Kevin's all right! It was just the tiniest scratch! And he's gone! So let's not bother him, all right?! " yells Peg. But the neighbors didn't listen.
Kim walks toward the crowd when all of a sudden gunshot goes off, It causes her to jump with fear. Worried that the officer shot and killed Edward, Kim takes off running to the mansion. However, she takes another route so the neighbors don't see her. Little does she know that not only is Edward still alive, but also Jim (the T-1200) is after her as well. He drives his van and follows her to the mansion.
Meanwhile, the police officer finishes firing off his shots. He then makes his way back towards his car. The neighbors then approach him.
"What happened? Is he okay? Is he dead?" asks Joyce and all the other neighbors.
"It's all over. Go on home. There's nothing more to see", said the police officer.
"What happened out there?" asks Joyce.
"I don't want to go home", said Esmeralda.
"I want to know. I want answers from you", said Joyce.
"It's all over", said the police officer.
He then gets back in his car and drives off.
"Get back here! I want to ask you something!" yells Joyce.
The neighbors then proceed to chatter on.
"What are we gonna do?" asks one of the neighbors.
"I'm going", said Joyce.
Joyce walks through the gate towards Edward's mansion. The neighbors continue chattering and begin to follow her.
8:45 P.M.
The T-800 has finally found the Boggs' residence. He approaches the door and rings the doorbell. Peg answers it.
"Hello Sir. How may I help you?" asks Peg.
"I'm a friend of Kim Boggs and Edward. I was told that they live here. Can I see them please?" asks the T-800.
"She ran off to find him when we're supposed to be having our annual Christmas party", said Peg.
"Where are they?" asks the T-800.
"Edward ran off to that abandoned mansion which is through that gate and up that mountain path", said Peg.
"A police officer was here looking for Edward earlier. The neighbors are coming after him now. Now as for Kim, like I said, she's probably looking for him now. We don't know when they're coming back and we're getting worried about them especially her, so if you want you can come inside and have a seat if you want to wait for them", continued Peg.
He turns his head looks closely at the road and sees the gate. Then he sees the mountain path with the mansion on top of it. He then turns his head back to Peg.
"I'll be back", says the T-800. He then turns back towards his car.
"Merry Christmas, Sir", said Peg. The T-800 then turns back to Peg.
"Merry Christmas", replies the T-800. He then gets back in his car and drives up to the mansion.
Edward's Mansion
Kim manages to get in the mansion before the neighbors and Jim get there. She goes inside and runs up the stairs to the attic. She looks around before finding Edward in a corner of the attic. She approaches him and gets on her knees.
"They're coming?" asked Edward.
However, Kim remains silent.
"Did I hurt Kevin?" asks Edward.
"No. He's OK. He's mostly just scared", said Kim.
There is a small moment of silence between the both of them.
"Edward. I was so afraid. I thought you were dead", said Kim.
Another moment of silence occurs between the both of them which is disrupted by Jim who shows up armed with a loaded 45 revolver.
"I didn't", said Jim.
He then proceeds to shoot at Kim and Edward. But luckily the bullet misses the both of them. Jim then walks over slowly to Edward and prepares to kill him.
"NO!" screams Kim as she tries to get the gun away from Jim.
However, Jim's finger is still on the trigger, which causes him to shoot the gun at a decaying ceiling, resulting causes boards to crash on Edward. Jim then knocks Kim to the floor. Jim then kicks Edward. He then finds a fireplace iron and procedes to beat Edward with it.
"NO, JIM, STOP!" screams Kim, as she tries to get up from the floor.
The T-800 arrives in his station wagon in front of the mansion. However, he encounters the neighbors who are going to break into the mansion to attack Edward. He gets out of the car and gets behind them. He takes his shotgun and cocks it. He then shoots it in the air. The neighbors turn around and scream.
"Go home. All of you. This matter does not concern you", said the T-800.
He cocks the gun and shoots it again. The neighbors then all run out through the mansion gate and back to their respective homes. As soon as the neighbors leave, the T-800 hears a ruckus coming from the inside of the house. He goes back to the car, gets some more ammo, reloads the gun and rushes inside the mansion. He then takes the stairs to the attic. When he gets up there, he sees Kim trying to get up from the floor as she watches Jim beating Edward with the fireplace iron. The T-800 cocks his shotgun.
"Get down", said the T-800.
He then proceeds to shoot Jim twice in the back. Kim screams out in horror and takes cover quickly. Jim then gets up, turns around slowly and starts to pick up his gun. Kim tries to get up but the T-800 grabs her and he turns around to his back. Jim finally picks up his gun from the floor and shoots the T-800 in the back repeatedly. Kim proceeds to scream. She then manages to break free from the T-800's grip and gets back on the ground. The T-800 then turns back to Jim. He then shoots Jim in the stomach 6 times, resulting in him falling over to the floor. Kim and Edward both get up from the floor slowly and stand there petrified with fear when they first see the T-800. Kim's eyes bug out and her jaw slowly drops. He then approaches them slowly. Kim and Edward's fear increases greatly as they both stand there quivering. Kim starts to look petrified.
"Come with me if you want to live", said the T-800, holding out his hand.
Kim and Edward then follow the T-800 downstairs as they exit the mansion. They get downstairs quickly and exit the mansion. Meanwhile Jim gets up, restores himself and walks to the attic window. As Kim, Edward and the T-800 walk up to the station wagon, Jim jumps out the window and lands feet first to the ground and grabs Kim by the back of her neck. He holds his gun to her head. She proceeds to scream.
"HELP ME!" screams Kim while trying to break from Jim's grip. The T-800 takes his shotgun, reloads it and shoots Jim in the stomach which causes him to let go of Kim. She then runs towards Edward.
"Get in! Both of you", said the T-800. Kim and Edward then get in the back seats of the station wagon. The T-800 then gets in the driver's side and pulls out of the mansion. They drive away from the mansion and begin to head off to the city. As they drive off Jim restores himself and gets in his van and proceeds to follow them. He then drives closer to the station wagon and takes his gun and manages to shoot out the back window. Kim and Edward take cover quickly. The T-800 turns around and shoots at Jim. But he ducks resulting in the shotguns shells to destroy his windshield. Jim then drives to the other side of the window and attempts to shoot the T-800. But then a truck comes in and crashes into Jim's van which causes a huge explosion caused from leaked gasoline and sparks from the car's metal. It allows Kim, Edward and the T-800 to get away. However, Jim manages to get up from the burning car and restores himself back to normal and proceeds to walk away from the wreck and makes his way to Kim's house to terminate her family.
Meanwhile in the station wagon, they continue to drive away from the explosion. Kim then leans over to the passenger's side of the station wagon to talk to the T-800.
"Okay. So what the hell's going on around here? Who are you?" asks Kim.
"I'm the Terminator: the T-800, Cyberdyne Systems Model 101", said the T-800.
Kim and Edward just stare at him confused.
"You mean you're like a robot or something? You don't even resemble a robot. You resemble a human", said Kim, touching the T-800's face.
"I'm a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over metal endoskeleton", said the T-800.
"I'm Kim Boggs and this is Edward", replies Kim.
"I already know who you are", said the T-800.
"I've been sent from the year 2030 with a mission", said the T-800.
"What mission is that, to terminate us? You are 'the Terminator', right?" asked Kim.
"Negative, my mission is not to terminate you", replies the T-800.
"Well then, what is your mission?" asks Edward.
"My mission is to protect the both of you", replies the T-800.
"Protect us? Why?" asked Kim.
"You and Edward have been targeted for termination", replies the T-800.
"Terminated? You mean he was sent to kill me and Kim?" asked Edward.
"Affirmative", replied the T-800.
"Why us?" asks Edward.
"I'll explain it later. I have something to ask you first", explained the T-800.
"When did you come in contact with him?" asked the T-800.
"I met Edward a few weeks ag-"said Kim.
"Negative. I meant the other one", said the T-800, cutting her off.
"Who, Jim?" asked Kim.
"Affirmative", replied the T-800.
"I met Jim when I was a freshman in high school, in 1987", said Kim.
"He was the love of my life until I met Edward", continued Kim.
"There is something you must know about Jim", said the T-800.
"Which is?" asked Kim.
"He was never really your boyfriend," replied the T-800.
"What do you mean?" asked Kim.
"He was never human at all", said the T-800.
"He is really another Terminator.", continued the T-800.
"So he's a terminator like you?" asked Kim.
"Not like me. A T-1200. Advanced prototype", said the T-800.
"T-1200? You mean more advanced that you are?" asks Kim.
"Yes. A mimetic polyalloy", replies the T-800.
"What does that mean?", said Kim.
"Liquid metal", said the T-800.
"Liquid metal?" asked Kim.
"The T-1200 will not stop until it completes its mission." said the T-800
"Wait a minute. That explosion back there? Wasn't Jim killed?" asked Kim.
"Negative, he can restore himself back to normal", said the T-800,
"He can also imitate anything he touches. That's how advanced he is", said the T-800.
"Anything? You mean he could imitate a loaf of bread or a pack of cigarettes?" asked Kim.
"Negative. Only an object of equal size", replies the T-800.
"If it was sent to terminate me and Edward, why can't it turn into a gun or a bomb or something?" asked Kim.
"It can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way", said the T-800.
"But it can form solid metal shapes", continued the T-800.
"What solid shapes can it form?" asked Kim.
"Knives and stabbing weapons", replied the T-800.
"He was sent to 1987 from the year 2027 to target you for termination. But he had to wait three years until now when you came in contact with Edward. Both of you hold a great significance to civilization. That's why I have been sent here to 1990 to protect the both of you", said the T-800.
"What significance do I and Kim hold?" asked Edward.
"I'll explain it some more, later", replied the T-800.
"But for now, we have to get moving", said the T-800.
"Where?" asked Kim.
"We have to get out of Suburbia immediately and into the city to avoid the local authorities", continued the T-800.
"Wait. We have to turn around and go back to my house", said Kim.
"I need to pick up a few of my belongings", continued Kim.
"Negative. The T-1200 will definitely try to reacquire both of you there", replied the T-800.
"Well, I have to get some fresh clothes", said Kim. "I can't wear this dress all night", said Kim.
"Leave the dress on, you'll need it to survive", said the T-800.
"Okay. But when we get downtown, we stop at the nearest pay phone", said Kim.
"I have to at least let my parents know where we me and Edward are", said Kim.
"They're probably worrying about the both of us right now", continued Kim.
9:45 P.M.
They finally get downtown. They stop at a pay phone outside a biker bar. Edward stays in the car while Kim and the T-800 approach the phone. Kim searches her dress for quarters but she can't find any.
"Shit! I don't have any quarters", said Kim.
Then the T-800 punches the pay phone and a flood of quarters falls out of it. Kim grabs one and then calls home.
The phone rings at the Boggs residence. Peg answers the phone.
"Hello?" asks Peg.
"Mom, it's me", answers Kim.
"Kim?" asks Peg.
"Are you guys okay?" asks Kim.
"Yes, we're fine", answers Peg.
"How about you, are you okay?" asks Peg.
"Yes, Mom I'm fine", answers Kim.
"Kim. I was just beginning to worry about you. If you and Edward come home, you'll be just in time for our Christmas party", said Peg.
Kim then covers the phone with her hand.
"This is odd. She's never been this nice", said Kim. "I mean she is nice, but not like this", continued Kim.
She then gets back on the phone with her mother.
"Kim, where are you?" asks Peg. But Kim doesn't answer. She also overhears her younger brother Kevin crying.
"Kevin, please don't cry. Kim will be home soon", said Peg.
Kim covers the phone again.
"That's odd. My little brother is really crying. I've never heard him this upset before", said Kim.
Kim's father Bill approaches Peg's side.
"Peg, just tell Kim to get her ass home", said Bill.
She turns the phone to her right hand and a knife like blade comes through her arm, stabbing Bill in the mouth. It's not really Peg. It's really Jim who made a copy of Peg.
"Kim. It's late. Please don't make me worry" said Peg.
Kim covers it again.
"Could he already be at my house?" asked Kim.
The T-800 grabs the phone from Kim.
"Kim are you okay?" asks Peg.
"Yes, Mom. I'm okay" replies the T-800 (using Kim's voice).
"You sure?" asks Peg.
The T-800 covers the phone.
"What's your brother's name?" asks the T-800 (back in his normal voice).
"His name is Kevin", replies Kim.
"Hey Mom, what's wrong with Kevin? I hear him crying", said the T-800 (using Kim's voice).
"Kevin's fine. He's fine", answers Peg.
"Where are you?" asks Peg.
The T-800 hangs up the phone.
"Your parents and your brother are dead", said the T-800.
"Oh my God", said Kim.
The Boggs Residence
Peg (Jim) removes her knife arm from Bill. He then falls to the floor. Jim restores Peg's arm before restoring himself back to normal. He sees Kevin crying in the living room. Kevin then sees Jim pull out his revolver.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU LITTLE BRAT!" yells Jim.
He then shoots at Kevin, but luckily the bullet misses him. Kevin then screams and starts making a run for his bedroom.
"COME BACK HERE!" yells Jim. But Kevin manages to run to his bedroom.
Jim then follows him. Kevin then locks the door. Jim then tries to turn the doorknob but it's locked.
"OPEN THE DOOR!" yells Jim. He then walks through the door and sees Kevin who is now crying even harder. Jim then approaches him. He then shoots Kevin twice in the head killing him. Jim then exits Kevin's bedroom. He goes back in the kitchen and finds the keys to his mother's car. He then goes outside and gets in the car and continues his pursuit for Kim and Edward.
The Phone Booth
"The T-1200 copied your mother and in order to succeed in terminating your father and your brother", said the T-800.
Kim is almost on the verge of tears.
"How could this happen?" asks Kim, almost crying.
"There is something else I should tell you too" said the T-800.
"What?" asks Kim.
"They were never your real family" replies the T-800.
"What are you talking about?" asks Kim.
"They adopted you at birth", replies the T-800.
"You mean I was adopted and they were never my real parents?" asked Kim.
"Affirmative", replies the T-800. There is a moment of silence between them.
"Who is my real family?" asked Kim.
"Kim Boggs, what I'm about to tell you will have such a major impact on your life like you wouldn't imagine", said the T-800.
"You were born Kim Connor", continued the T-800.
Kim looks at him, shocked.
"You are the daughter of Sarah Connor", said the T-800.
"She gave birth to you when she was 16, but she decided to give you up for adoption", continued the T-800.
"Back in 1984, A terminator who was exactly like me was sent to terminate her. Because like you, she held a great significance to civilization. She would give birth to a boy named John Connor, your brother", continued the T-800.
"He's 12 years old. He will be the leader of the war against the machines in the year 2030 and you and Edward will assist him in that", said the T-800.
"What causes the war against the machines?" asked Kim.
"On August 29, 1997, over three billion lives will end", said the T-800. "The day will be known as 'Judgment Day'. There will be a huge nuclear explosion caused by Skynet: a highly advanced artificial intelligence who has deemed civilization as a threat to them. Shortly afterward, the machines will take over civilization and will destroy humanity as we know it. That is what leads to you and Edward aiding John Connor in the war against the machines. It will be the war that will cause the end of civilization. That's why the T-1200 has currently targeted both you and Edward for termination and why he's going after you now. It's also why John sent me here to protect you and Edward", continued the T-800.
"Where's is Sarah Connor?" asked Kim.
"The location of Sarah Connor is unknown", said the T-800.
"Your brother is the only one who knows where she is", continued the T-800.
He then pulls out a photograph of him.
"Here's a photograph of him", replies the T-800.
Kim then takes the picture from him and looks at it.
"My god. He almost looks like me", said Kim.
"Where is he?" asks Kim.
"He's currently being held captive for desecrating public property", replies the T-800.
"You mean he's in jail for vandalism?" asks Kim.
"Affirmative. Juvenile Hall to be exact", replies the T-800.
"We have to get him out of there, now", said Kim.
"Negative. The T-1200's highest probability for success now will be to copy John Connor and to wait for you to make contact with him", said the T-800.
"Okay. What happens to him, though?" asks Kim.
"Typically, the subject being copied is terminated. It's what happened to your adoptive mother", replies the T-800.
"What?! Holy shit! Why didn't you tell me that?! We've got to get him out of there now, before he gets to him!" yells Kim, heading for the car.
The T-800 grabs her by the shoulder.
"Negative. It's not a mission priority" said the T-800.
"Yeah, well we're now making it a mission priority", said Kim.
She tries to head back to the car but the T-800's grip on her shoulder is too strong for her to break free.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" asks Kim trying to break free.
"HELP!" screams Kim.
"This does not help our mission", replies the T-800.
"GET THIS GUY OFF ME!" screams Kim.
Edward is startled and sees what's going on. He gets out of the car and approaches the T-800. Edward then stabs the T-800 in the stomach which causes him to let go of Kim. But however the T-800 absorbs the wounds and is restored back to normal.
"Don't do that", replies the T-800.
Then two black hoodlums come out from the bar and approach them.
"Is everything okay?" asks Hoodlum 1.
"Yes, everything's okay", replies Kim.
"You were screaming for help. You sure?" asked Hoodlum 1.
"Yes", replies Kim.
"Good. Because maybe you can help me and my friend here. We need some help with the boners in our pants", continued Hoodlum 1.
"What?" asked Kim, disgusted.
"That's a fine dress you have on there", said Hoodlum 2 as he approaches Kim slowly and more closer. He then lifts her dress which reveals her panties.
"You'd be better not wearing anything at all", replies Hoodlum 1.
Kim then begins to squeal.
"HELP ME!" she screams as she tries to pull her dress down.
The T-800 grabs one of them which causes Kim to accidentally be knocked to the ground. The T-800 proceeds to grab one of the hoodlums by the hair as he screams in pain. The other hoodlum goes behind the T-800 tries to grab the T-800 by the neck. But the T-800 twists the hoodlums arm and crushes his fingers. He then throws him against the phone booth. He then pulls his pistol out and begins to point his gun at him and prepares to shoot him. Kim gets up quickly.
"NO!" yells Kim as she moves his arm away from the hoodlum. The gun goes off but he misses the shot.
"Put the gun down now!" yells Kim.
The T-800 then sets the gun down on the ground. She then turns to the hoodlums. She then picks up the T-800's gun.
"Get the hell out of here, both of you, NOW!" yells Kim.
The hoodlums then run off. Kim then turns back to the T-800.
"Jesus Christ! Are you crazy?! You were going to kill those guys!" yells Kim.
"Of course, I'm a Terminator", replies the T-800.
"Not anymore", replies Kim.
"You just can't go around killing people", said Kim.
"Why?" asks the T-800.
"Because you can't, it's illegal. Trust me on this", continues Kim.
"Ok", replies the T-800.
"Ok? That's all you're going to say? You're not going to try to argue with me?" asks Kim.
Then a lightbulb goes off in Kim's head.
"Wait a minute, you have to do what me and Edward say, huh?" asks Kim slightly laughing.
"That is one of my mission parameters", replies the T-800.
"Yeah, well prove it", said Kim.
"Stand on one foot", said Kim.
The T-800 then stands on his left foot.
"Yes!" yells Kim, excitedly.
"Put your leg down", said Kim.
The T-800 then puts his leg down.
"Now listen to me very carefully. Edward and I are going to get John Connor out of there and you're going to help us", said Kim.
She then gives the T-800 his gun back to him.
"Where is the Juvenile Detention Center?" asks Kim.
"The location of the Juvenile Detention Center is in Los Angeles", replies the T-800.
"Los Angeles? That's 15 minutes away from here", said Kim.
"We should be able to get there before he encounters him", replies Kim.
Then Kim, Edward and the T-800 get back in the car and head to the Juvenile Detention Center to free John Connor.
Author's Notes:
There are several references to The Big Lebowski in the opening of this part. The bowling alley which the T-800 gets his clothes from is based off the bowling alley from that movie, right down to having Bob Dylan's The Man in Me playing on the jukebox. The character "The Guy" is a parody/rip-off of The Dude (Jeff Lebowski). I wrote that character while picturing Jeff Bridges as that character.
The pimp that refuses to give the T-800 directions is based off the pimp from National Lampoon's Vacation.
The part where the T-800 robs the convenience store my own take on a similar scene in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
After seeing Edward Scissorhands, I always thought that Suburbia was really in California. Because Tim Burton based Suburbia off his hometown of Burbank, Callifornia. That's why this part ends with Edward, Kim and The Terminator near Los Angeles.
Originally when Jim kills Kim's family, I toyed with Jim dousing Kim's house in gasoline and setting it on fire. But after thinking about it, I felt that way over the top. So I decided not to do it.
