Terminator: Affirmative.
John: No, no, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative" or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes off to you with an attitude, you say "eat me." And if you wanna shine them on, it's "hasta la vista, baby."
Terminator: (flatly) Hasta la vista, baby.

Terminator: (flatly) Chill out, dickwad.
John: That's great! See, you're getting it!
Terminator: (flatly) No problemo.
