Quote #7
SARAH [speaking into a tape recorder]: Should I tell you about your father? Boy, that's a tough one. Will it affect your decision to send him here, knowing that he is your father? If you don't send Kyle, you can never be. God, a person could go crazy thinking about this. I suppose I will tell you. I owe him that.
At the film's conclusion, Sarah must make a decision: should she tell John the truth about his father, or should she continue the cycle of deception that has led her to this juncture? Ultimately, she chooses honesty—a true victory against the machines, if you think about it.
