Analysis of The Terminator 2 Script:

The scene where The Terminator enters the weapons store and has a conversation with the weapon’s assistance is what is on the script. Although they don’t sit down, it fits the criteria having all the film editing guidelines.
Match on action at the start, where there is a long shot of the Terminator walking up to the door and the next shot is inside the weapons shop where you see the terminator entering the building in a full shot.
Then the 180 degree rule happens, when the terminator walks up to the counter, terminator is always on the left and the assistance is always on the right. The shot/reverse shot, happens as soon as the terminator finishes his sentence. The shot reverses and films the assistance speaking and carries on for the rest of the conversation until The Terminator shots the assistance.
