Can anyone explain the reference?
It's a scene from Terminator 2. The cop here is a terminator, sent back in time to kill John Connor to prevent him from forming and leading the human resistance. The kid here is John's best friend, who was with him not 5 minutes prior. This is the kid's response to the cop showing a picture of John Connor and asking about him.
~~Wasn't he John's bully, not his friend?~~
~~I thought the big thing about this scene wasn't just that the kid lied to the T-1000 posing as a police officer but that he lied on behalf of his own enemy~~. Edit: have been confirmed that I am mistaken
Not at all. They fixed his motorcycle, stole money from a atm, and went to the arcade together. Right after this he ran to warn conner.
Ah, well guess that's just my memory being dumb. TBF, I haven't seen the movie in like... A decade
which should be punishable
Dishonor on my cow.
