For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.
Of course some people didn’t? It’s over thirty years old.
Edit: to put it into perspective, the movie’s release is closer to the breakup of the Beatles than to the present day.
I saw it in the theatres and didn’t get the context because it has been literal decades since I last watched it.
