No, see, the liquid metal Terminators were created in the future by Skynet, and Skynet was developed by Miles Dyson, but that future no longer exists due to Dyson's death in Terminator 2.

No, see, the liquid metal Terminators were created in the future by Skynet, and Skynet was developed by Miles Dyson, but that future no longer exists due to Dyson's death in Terminator 2. Then riddle me this: Assuming all the good Terminators were originally evil Terminators created by Skynet but then reprogrammed by the future John Connor, why would Skynet, an artificial computer intelligence, bother to create a petite, hot, 17 - year - old killer robot? Skynet is kinky? I don't know ... Artificial intelligences do not have teen fetishes. Wait! They use it to ... Too late . I win. Let ’s go - oh - oh Ou - oooo - ut tonight . I have to go - oh - oh - oh ou - ooooo - ut tonight. What the hell is that? I don't know, but if cats could sing...they'd hate it, too. Hey, guys! Where you going? What? We just had to mail some letters...and...throw away some chicken. You'll never guess what just happened. I give up. I don't guess . As a scientist, I reach conclusions based on observation and experimentation . Although as I'm saying this, it occurs to me you may have been employing a rhetorical device rendering my response moot. What was that? Believe it or not, personal growth . What happened? Remember when I auditioned for that workshop production of Rent, but I didn't get it and I didn't know why. I have a conclusion based on an observation. No, you don't . No, he doesn't. The girl they picked to play Mimi dropped out, and they asked me to replace her. Congratulations . What a lucky break. It's not a big deal, just a one - night showcase, but they invite a lot of casting people . So, you never know. I think I know. No, you don't . He doesn't. It's this Friday at 8:00 . You want to come? No. Friday we are attending a symposium on molecular positronium. I think that's a week from Tuesday, at 6:00. No, it's this Friday. Too bad . I gotta get to rehearsal . See you guys. See you. You just lied to Penny. Yes, I did. And you did it so casually-- no rapid breathing, no increase in perspiration ... So? So, lack of a physiological response while lying is characteristic of a violent sociopath. Sheldon, are you worried about your safety? No, I imagine if you were going to kill me, you'd have done it a long time ago. That's very true.
