Trivia from the T2 script.
Found here.
It's not the script of the final movie version, but it's close enough. Oh James Cameron. You and your hilarious similies. "[The truck] ricochets back and forth between the walls then, bellowing like a gunshot stegosaurus" INDEED.
SHOT OF JOHN AND SARAH during the missing years. Sarah in olive cammos with an RPG 7 grenade launcher, teaching John how to aim. Sarah with a group of military-clad Guatemalan men, standing next to cases of Stinger missiles. John and Sarah in a Contra camp, deep in the mountains.
- ...OKAY, JOHN KNOWS HOW TO FIRE GRENADES AND PROBABLY MISSILES. Christ.
- My guess that they spent most of their time in Central America is reasonably accurate. The script tells me John is able to speak "perfect Spanish," but my guess is that Edward Furlong couldn't do it right so they fudged that bit. I'M KEEPING IT AS HEADCANON slash actual canon... thing.
He nods. She reaches for John and we think she's going to hug him. She starts to rub her hands over him and we realize she's checking for injuries, very clinically the way a vet checks a dog for broken bones. He pulls away from her. He hates her always checking him, treating him like he might break, like some piece of rare china.
[...]
We see his chin quiver. He's a tough kid, but all he really wants is for her to love him. He hasn't had enough years on the planet yet to be the man of steel she demands.
- MOTHER ISSUES AHOY. Also daddy issues. Which I guess is why I keep throwing him at counselor-aged folks.
She reaches out and takes his shoulder suddenly, surprising him... drawing him to her. She hugs him and a great sob wells up deep inside her, from a spring she had thought long dry. She hugs him fiercely as the sobs wrack her.
John clutches her shoulders. It is all he ever wanted.
- Clearly John was never hugged enough as a child. Which makes the Final First Hug so much more ~symbolic~.
That is all I found useful. \o/
