2 quotesIntroduction to the Real World
Tank
Morning, did you sleep? You will tonight, I guarantee it. I’m Tank, I’ll be your operator.
[''Enters Neo's quarters''; ''Neo shakes head'']
Neo
You don’t... you don’t have any...
[''Noticing Tank's lack of electrical sockets'']
Tank
Holes? Nope. Me and my brother Dozer, we’re both one hundred percent pure, old fashioned, home-grown human, born free right here in the real world. Genuine child of Zion.
Neo
Zion?
Tank
If the war was over tomorrow, Zion’s where the party would be.
Neo
It’s a city?
Tank
The last human city. The only place we have left.
Neo
Where is it?
Tank
Deep underground, near the Earth’s core, where it’s still warm. You live long enough, you might even see it. Goddamn, I... I got to tell you, I’m fairly excited to see what you’re capable of, if Morpheus is right and all... We’re not supposed to talk about this, but if you are... damn, it’s a very exciting time. We got a lot to do. Let’s get to it...
[''Nodding head'']
Tank
Now, we’re supposed to start with these operation programs first, that’s major boring shit. Let’s do something a little more fun. How about... combat training?
[''Jumps into operator seat with Neo in his plug-in seat and Tank is rifling through [[w:Floppy disk|floppy discs; ''holds up floppy'']
Neo
]? I’m going to learn Jujitsu? Holy shit!
[''Reading on screen''; [w:Jujutsu|Jujitsu; ''Tank uploads program'']
Tank
]. How about some more?
[[w:Life (cereal)|Hey Mikey, I think he likes it]
Neo
Hell yes!
Morpheus
How is he?
[''Leaning over Tank'']
Tank
Ten hours straight. He’s... a machine.
Neo
I know ].
[''To Morpheus leaning over him''; [w:Kung Fun|Kung Fu]
Morpheus
Show me. This is a sparring program, similar to the programmed reality of the Matrix. It has the same basic rules, rules like gravity. What you must learn is that these rules are no different that the rules of a computer system. Some of them can be bent. Others can be broken. Understand? Then hit me. If you can. Good. Adaptation, improvisation. But your weakness is not your technique.
[''In the sparring program''; ''They fight a round''; ''Wagging fingers'']
Mouse
Morpheus is fighting Neo.
[''To the Nebuchadnezzar crew in the mess''; ''They all scramble to see'']
Morpheus
How did I beat you?
Neo
You’re too fast.
Morpheus
Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles, in this place? You think that’s air you’re breathing now...? Again.
Mouse
Jesus Christ, he’s fast. Take a look at his neural kinetics, they’re way above normal.
Morpheus
What are you waiting for? You’re faster than this. Don’t think you are, know you are. Come on! Stop trying to hit me and HIT me!
Mouse
I don’t believe it.
Neo
I know what you’re trying to do.
Morpheus
I’m trying to free your mind, Neo, but I can only show you the door, you’re the one that has to walk through it. Tank, load the jump program... You have to let it all go, Neo, fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.
[''The jump program simulation is initiated Neo and Morpheus are on top of a skyscraper''; ''Morpheus jumps from the skyscraper to another skyscraper'']
Neo
Whoa. Okie dokie. Free my mind.
[''Makes focus-on-the-task-gestures'']
Mouse
So what if he makes it?
Tank
No one’s ever made the first jump.
Mouse
I know, I know. But what if he does?
Apoc
He won’t.
Mouse
Come on.
Trinity
Come on.
Neo
All right, no problem. Free my mind. Free my mind. All right.
[''He jumps only to fall to the street landing softly'']
Mouse
Wha- what does that mean?
Switch
It doesn’t mean anything.
Cypher
Everybody falls the first time. Right, Trin'?
Neo
I thought it wasn’t real.
[''unplugged; wipes blood from mouth'']
Morpheus
Your mind makes it real.
Neo
If you’re killed in the Matrix, you die here?
Morpheus
The body cannot live without the mind.

Awaiting Instructions in The Matrix
Cypher
Where are they?
Tank
Making the call.
Cypher
Good.
Trinity
You first, Neo.
Cypher
Shit!
[''Fires lightning thrower at Tank but fails to hit him''; ''Fires it again and succeeds'']
Dozer
No!
[''He witnesses it and lunges at Cypher''; ''Cypher fires lightning thrower at Dozer'']
Neo
I don’t know, it just went dead.
Cypher
Hello, Trinity.
Trinity
Cypher? Where’s Tank?
Cypher
You know, for a long time, I thought I was in love with you. I used to dream about you. You’re a beautiful woman, Trinity. Too bad things had to turn out this way.
[''Leans over Trinity's face'']
Trinity
You killed them!
Apoc
What?!
Switch
Oh God!
Cypher
I’m tired, Trinity. I’m tired of this war. Tired of fighting, tired of this ship, being cold, eating the same goddamn goop everyday. But most of all, I’m tired of that jackoff and all of his bullshit. Surprise, asshole! I bet you never saw this coming, didja? God, I wish I could be there, when they break you. I wish I could walk in just when it happens. So right then, you’d know it was me.
[''Jumps onto Morpheus' body'']
Trinity
You gave them Morpheus.
Cypher
He lied to us, Trinity. He tricked us. If you’da told us the truth, we woulda told you to shove that red pill right up your ass!
Trinity
That is not true, Cypher, he set us free.
Cypher
Free? You call this free? All I do is what he tells me to do. If I had to choose between that and the Matrix, I choose the Matrix.
Trinity
The Matrix isn’t real!
Cypher
I disagree, Trinity. I think the Matrix can be more real than this world. All I do is pull the plug here. But there, you have to watch Apoc die.
Apoc
Trinity.
[''Falls down dead'']
Switch
No!
[''Rushes down to him'']
Cypher
Welcome to the real world, huh, baby?
Trinity
But you’re out, Cypher. You can’t go back.
Cypher
Oh no, that’s what you think. They’re going to reinsert my body. I go back to sleep, and when I wake up, I won’t remember a goddamn thing. By the way, if you have anything terribly important to say to Switch, I suggest you say it now.
Trinity
No, no, please don’t.
Switch
Not like this. Not like this.
[''She falls down dead'']
Cypher
Too late.
Trinity
Goddamn you, Cypher!
Cypher
Don’t hate me, Trinity. I’m just the messenger, and right now I’m gonna prove it to you. If Morpheus was right, then there’s no way I can pull this plug. I mean, if Neo’s The One, then there’d have to be some kind of a miracle to stop me. Right? I mean, how can he be The One if he’s dead? You never did answer me before. You bought into Morpheus’ bullshit. Come on – all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big pretty eyes, and tell me. Yes or no?
Trinity
Yes.
Cypher
No! I don’t believe it!
[''Realizes Tank survived and is aiming the lightning thrower'']
Tank
Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you’re still gonna burn!
[''Fires lightning thrower at Cypher who goes flying into pipes'']
