Carrie-Anne MossQuotes

Trinity: How are you feeling? Are you all right?

Neo: I need time.

Roland: That figures.

Maggie: Captain Roland!

Roland: What’s up, Maggie?

Maggie: It’s Bane. he’s conscious.

Roland: Good. Maybe he’s got some answers.

Morpheus: Are you ready for us?

Link: Almost, sir. They got some pretty ancient hacks here, we’re working on it. Did you find Neo?

Morpheus: Can’t you see him?

Link: No, sir. We were reading something but I couldn’t tell what it was.

Neo: [Trinity looks over at him] I can’t leave yet. I have to see her.

Trinity: Now?

Neo: This is my last chance.

Merovingian: [laughs; to the DJ; to Seraph; DJ shuts off music; Translation: The angel without wings; Laughs heartily] What in the hell? I don’t believe this. Hey. Hey! The prodigal child returns. L’ange sans ailes . Are you here for the bounty, Seraph? Tell me, how many bullets are there in those guns? I don’t know, but I don’t think you have enough.

Seraph: We only want to talk.

Merovingian: Oh yes, I’m sure you do. You have fought through hell to do so, yes? I’ll tell you what I will do. Put down the guns and I will promise you safe passage out of here.

Seraph: All three of us.

Merovingian: Oh yes, yes. Of course.

Merovingian: [Laughs; Translation: What a fine surprise, isn’t it?] Quelle bonne surprise, n’est pas? Who could’ve guessed we’d all be seeing each other so soon after our last meeting? The Fates are too kind. And since you, my little Judas, have brought them here, I can only surmise that the fortune teller has found herself another shell? Disappointing, but not unexpected. I do hope, however, she has the good manners to learn her lesson, and to remember that there is no action without consequence. And if you take something from me, you will pay the price.

Seraph: You know why we are here.

Merovingian: [Laughs] Come, now. What kind of question is this? Of course I know. It is my business to know. Some might think this a strange coincidence, but I do not. I am curious, though, as to how it actually happened. Do you know?

Trinity: No.

Merovingian: No? I didn’t think so. But it is always best to ask.

Morpheus: We want to make a deal.

Merovingian: [Laughs] Always straight to business, huh, Morpheus? Okay. I have something you want. To make a deal, you must have something I want, yes? And it so happens there is something I want. Something I have wanted ever since I first came here. It is said they cannot be taken, they can only be given.

Morpheus: What?

Merovingian: [Laughs] The eyes of the Oracle. I have told you before, there is no escaping the nature of the universe. It is that nature that has again brought you to me. Where some see coincidence, I see consequence. Where others see chance, I see cost. Bring me the eyes of the Oracle, and I will give you back your savior. That seems a particularly fair and reasonable deal to me. Yes? No?

Trinity: [A fight ensues, ending with everyone pointing guns at each other] I don’t have time for this shit. You wanna make a deal? How about this? You give me Neo, or we all die right here, right now.

Merovingian: Interesting deal. You are really ready to die for this man?

Trinity: [Cocks the gun she is pointing at his head] Believe it.

Persephone: She’ll do it. If she has to, she’ll kill every one of us. She’s in love.

Merovingian: It is remarkable how similar the pattern of love is to the pattern of insanity.

Trinity: Time’s up. What’s it gonna be, Merv?

Seraph: There are no weapons allowed in the club. At the bottom of this elevator, there is a coat check girl, and if we are lucky, one man for checking weapons.

Trinity: And if we’re unlucky?

Seraph: There will be many men.

Computer Room Technician: Christ, what happened in here?

Computer Room Guard: Hold it right there, little lady.

Smith: If you can’t beat us, join us.

Neo: Morpheus!

Link: Still no sight of them. I don’t know what they’re doing, but they only got 2 minutes left. One minute!

Trinity: Come on. Come on. Please.

Smiths: Kill them.

Link: They’re in. I don’t believe it.

Keymaker: [to Neo] It was meant to be. Morpheus. That door will take you home. You’ll know which door. Hurry, Neo.

Link: [To Morpheus] Trinity, I got some serious activity headed your way. We got a serious situation, sir.

Morpheus: Oh, no.

Keymaker: There’s a building. Inside this building there’s a level where no elevator can go, and no stair can reach. This level is filled with doors. These doors lead to many places, hidden places, but one door is special. One door leads to the Source. This building is protected by a very secure system. Every alarm triggers the bomb.

Vector: Bomb? Did he say bomb?

Keymaker: But like all systems it has a weakness. The system is based on the rules of a building. One system built on another.

Morpheus: Electricity.

Keymaker: If one fails, so must the other.

Niobe: No electricity, no alarms.

Ghost: But you’d have to take out a whole city block to kill the power to a building like that.

Keymaker: Not one, 27.

Vector: 27 blocks?

Keymaker: There is a power station. it must be destroyed.

Niobe: There must be some kind of failsafe.

Keymaker: Yes, there is an emergency system. The core network of the grid must be accessed. The emergency system must be deactivated.

Soren: Then what do you need us for? Neo could take ’em both out easier than we could.

Keymaker: There’s no time.

Niobe: Why?

Keymaker: Once the door is unprotected, the connection will be severed. But another connection must first be made.

Ghost: How long will that take?

Keymaker: Exactly 314 seconds.

Soren: Just over 5 minutes.

Keymaker: [[w:Neo (The Matrix)|The One] That is the length and breadth of the window. Only ] can open the door, and only during that window can the door be opened.

Niobe: How do you know all this?

Keymaker: I know because I must know. It’s my purpose. It’s the reason I’m here. Same reason we’re all here.

Trinity: Neo, I know something’s wrong. You don’t have to tell me. I just want you to know that I’m here.

Keymaker: All must be done as one.

Link: Can’t hurt.

Keymaker: If one fails, all fail.

Morpheus: At midnight, there’s a shift change in the security of both buildings. At midnight, we will strike.

Guard 1: Hey! You count sheep at home.

Guard 2: Why, I get paid to count ’em here.

Jax: Okay, they’re inside.

Axel: How much time?

Jax: 12 minutes.

Axel: Oh shit!

Morpheus: All of our lives we have fought this war. Tonight I believe we can end it. Tonight is not an accident. There are no accidents. We have not come here by chance. I do not believe in chance when I see 3 objectives, 3 captains, 3 ships. I do not see coincidence, I see providence, I see purpose. I believe it is our fate to be here. It is our destiny. I believe this night holds for each and every one of us the very meaning of our lives.

Neo: I want to ask you to do something, but I don’t know how.

Trinity: I promise you, if I can, I will.

Neo: What if I asked you to stay out of this, no matter what. To stay out of the Matrix?

Trinity: Why?

Neo: Please.

Trinity: All right.

Morpheus: What is it, Niobe?

Niobe: I can’t help it, Morpheus, I can’t help thinking – what if you’re wrong. What if all this – the prophecy, everything – is bullshit.

Morpheus: Then tomorrow we may all be dead, but how would that be different from any other day? This is a war, and we are soldiers. Death can come for us at any time, in any place.

Axel: Incoming. Incoming! Incoming!

Morpheus: Now consider the alternative. What if I am right? What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over. Isn’t that worth fighting for? Isn’t that worth dying for?

Soren: Time?

Vector: 3 minutes.

Binary: Almost there.

Keymaker: It is time.

Trinity: Find the others.

Link: Got Niobe right there, they’re already out of the station.

Trinity: What about Soren?

Link: There, they’re still inside, but…

Trinity: They’re not moving.

Morpheus: That’s it, let’s go.

Trinity: Call Neo now.

Link: Lost them. They’re inside the portal.

Trinity: What about the grid?

Link: Everything’s still operational. Emergency system’s already rerouting power. Jesus. As soon as they open that door, it’s all over.

Trinity: The hell it is.

Link: What are you… Trinity?

Trinity: I will not stand here and do nothing. I will not wait here to watch them die.

Link: Trinity, we’re talking less then 5 minutes here.

Trinity: In 5 minutes, I’ll tear that whole goddamn building down.

Neo: How much further?

Keymaker: Here, just here.

Smith: I’m sorry, this is a dead end.

Link: [Trinity calls him] It’s gotta be the ugliest hack I have ever done. That’s as close as I can get ya. You better grow some wings. Operator.

Trinity: I’m in.

Link: Keep moving, 65th floor.

Smith: you look surprised to see me again, Mr. Anderson, that’s the difference between us. I’ve been expecting you.

Neo: What do you want, Smith?

Smith: Oh you haven’t figured that out? Still using all the muscles except the one that matters. I want exactly what you want. I want everything.

Morpheus: Would that include a bullet from this gun?

Smith: Go ahead, shoot. The best thing about being me – there’s so many me’s.

Trinity: You always told me to stay off the freeway.

Morpheus: Yes, that’s true.

Trinity: You said it was suicide.

Morpheus: Then let us hope, that I was wrong.

Smith: Mr. Anderson! Did you get my package?

Neo: Yeah.

Smith: Well, good.

Morpheus: Smith.

Link: Whoever it is, he’s not reading like an agent.

Smith: Surprised to see me?

Neo: No.

Smith: Then you’re aware of it.

Neo: Of what?

Smith: Our connection. I don’t fully understand how it happened. Perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied. That is at this point irrelevant, what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason.

Neo: And what reason is that?

Smith: I killed you, Mr. Anderson, I watched you die… With a certain satisfaction, I might add, and then something happened. Something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do but I didn’t. I couldn’t. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson, because of you I’m no longer an agent of the system, because of you I’ve changed – I’m unplugged – a new man, so to speak, like you, apparently free.

Neo: Congratulations.

Smith: Thank you. But as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we’re here. We’re not here because we’re free, we’re here because we’re not free. There’s no escaping reason, no denying purpose – because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

Smith 2: It is purpose that created us,

Smith 3: Purpose that connects us,

Smith 4: Purpose that pulls us,

Smith 5: That guides us,

Smith 6: That drives us,

Smith 7: It is purpose that defines,

Smith 8: Purpose that binds us.

Smith: We’re here because of you, Mr. Anderson, we’re here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose.

Trinity: What’s happening to him?

Link: I don’t know.

Smith: [attempting to copy himself into Neo] Yes, that’s it, it’ll be over soon.

Trinity: Be careful.

Neo: Hello.

Seraph: You seek the Oracle.

Neo: Who are you?

Seraph: I am Seraph. I can take you to her. But first, I must apologize.

Neo: Apologize for what?

Seraph: [He and Neo have a huge martial arts fight] For this. Good. The Oracle has many enemies. I had to be sure.

Neo: Of what?

Seraph: [[w:Neo (The Matrix)|The One] That you are ].

Neo: You could’ve just asked.

Seraph: No. You do not truly know someone until you fight them. Come, she’s waiting.

Link: Where the hell’d they go?

Neo: [Walking in a hallway with several doors on both sides] These are back doors, aren’t they? Programmer access.

Neo: How do they work?

Seraph: The code is hidden in tumblers. One position opens a lock. Another position opens one of these doors.

Neo: Are you a programmer?

Neo: Then what are you?

Seraph: [He brings Neo to the Oracle who is sitting on a bench in a courtyard] I protect that which matters most.

Trinity: Where are you going?

Keymaker: [A twin rushes to the door and thwarts the door shutting with an arm with Trinity pumping several rounds into the arm] Another way, always another way. Close it, quick.

Twin 1: [Twin 2 phantasmographosizes through the door with Trinity emptying an entire gun clip fruitlessly] Could we move along?

Keymaker: [He runs off to a vehicle to [[w:hotwire|hotwire] Run! ] it for escape]

Twin 2: [Twin 2 gets Trinity into a bind holding a blade to her neck; Morpheus relaxes grip on door and steps off] Step away from the door. We owe you for that.

Twin 1: [phantasmographosizes and back to default with bullet wounds and damaged clothing disappeared] Just like new.

Twin 2: [The Keymaker gets their attention and Trinity runs to the vehicle and Morpheus fights both the twins simultaneously] Drop your weapon.

Morpheus: Stay with him.

Trinity: What about Neo?

Morpheus: He can handle himself.

Trinity: [to the Keymaker] Get in the back.

Neo: Oh shit.

Link: Operator.

Neo: Link, where am I?

Link: You’re not gonna believe this, but you’re all the way up in the mountains.

Neo: [incredulously] Really.

Link: [senses danger on his monitors] Yeah, it’s gonna take me a while to get up an exit. Oh shit.

Neo: What?

Link: Those Twin things are after Morpheus and Trinity, and I don’t have a way to get em out.

Neo: Where are they?

Link: [Neo flies off] Middle of the city, 500 miles due south.

Merovingian: [Speaks French] Oh God, my God, Persephone how could you do this, you betrayed me!

Persephone: Cause and effect, my love.

Merovingian: Cause? There is no cause for this, what cause?

Persephone: What cause? How about the lipstick you’re still wearing?

Merovingian: Lipstick? Lipstick? What craziness you are talking about woman, there is no lipstick.

Persephone: [[w:Fellatio|She wasn’t kissing your face, my love] ].

Merovingian: [Translation: it's nothing; Translation: it's nothing at all] Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai, woman, this is nothing, c’est rien , c’est rien du tout . It’s a game, it is only a game.

Persephone: So is this. Have fun.

Merovingian: [The twins phantasmographosize and sink completely into the floor] All right. All right. Let us find out where this goes. You two, get the Keymaker.

Trinity: That’s a nice trick.

Keymaker: [He runs out of the room with Trinity and Morpheus following] I cannot go back.

Neo: I’ll handle them.

Merovingian: [He gestures to the goons and they all walk forward holding up assault rifles and barrage Neo with him stoically freezing all bullets in mid-air, then they all fall to the ground simultaneously; Neo puts his right hand behind his back and gestures with his left hand as if to say; it's your move, and the goons all rush him grabbing decorative blade weapons to fight him and Neo fends them off and thwarts one who swings at him with just a hand, but it draws blood] Handle" us?! You’ll "handle" us?! You know, your predecessors had much more respect. Okay, you have some skill. Kill him.

Merovingian: You see, he’s just a man.

Merovingian: [Neo finishes off the last goon; He leaves the room] Damn it, woman, you will be the end of me. Mark my words, boy, and mark them well. I have survived your predecessors, and I will survive you!

Persephone: [to man in washroom] If you want the Keymaker, follow me. Get out! I’m so sick of his bullshit. On and on, pompous prick. A long time ago, when we first came here, it was so different. He was so different. He was like you. I’ll give you what you want. But you have to give me something.

Neo: What?

Persephone: A kiss.

Trinity: Excuse me?

Persephone: I want you to kiss me as if you were kissing her.

Neo: Why?

Persephone: You love her. She loves you. It’s all over you both. A long time ago, I knew what that felt like. I want to remember it. I want to sample it. That’s all, just a sample.

Trinity: [She holds up her gun to Persephone's head] Why don’t you sample this instead?

Morpheus: Trinity.

Persephone: Such emotion over something so small. It’s just a kiss.

Neo: Why should we trust you?

Persephone: If I don’t deliver you to the Keymaker, she can kill me.

Neo: All right.

Persephone: But you have to make me believe I am her.

Neo: All right.

Persephone: [Neo kisses her; she is not satisfied] Terrible. Forget it.

Neo: Wait. Okay.

Persephone: [he kisses her again; this time...] Ahh, yes. That’s it. I envy you. But such a thing is not meant to last. Come with me.

Merovingian: [Translation: so beautiful that it makes me suffer] Aha, here he is at last. Neo, the One himself, right? And the legendary Morpheus. And Trinity of course, si belle qu’elle me fait souffrir . I have heard so much, you honor me. Please, sit, join us. This is my wife, Persephone. Something to eat? Drink? Hmm… of course, such things are contrivances like so much here. For the sake of appearances.

Neo: No, thank you.

Merovingian: [[w:Château Haut-Brion|Château Haut-Brion 1959; [w:Wine|wine; [w:French wine|French wine; [w:Geographical distribution of French speakers|the French language; [w:Francophile|French is my favorite; Translation: Holy name of/God/dammit/sake pussy whore bitch asshole ass-fucked faggot; [w:Anal hygiene|wiping your ass with silk] Yes, of course, who has time?

I have sampled every language, ] – fantastic language, especially to curse with. Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d’enculés de ta mère. You see, it’s like ], I love it.

Morpheus: You know why we are here.

Merovingian: [[w:Webmaster|I am a trafficker of information] Hmm, ], I know everything I can. The question is, do you know why you are here?

Morpheus: We are looking for the Keymaker.

Merovingian: Oh yes, it is true. The Keymaker, of course. But this is not a reason, this is not a "why". The Keymaker himself, his very nature, is means, it is not an end, and so, to look for him is to be looking for a means to do... what?

Neo: You know the answer to that question.

Merovingian: [Laughs] But do you? You think you do but you do not. You are here because you were sent here, you were told to come here and you obeyed. It is, of course, the way of all things. You see, there is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect.

Morpheus: [[w:choice|choice] Everything begins with ].

Merovingian: [[w:illusion|illusion; [w:Trojan horse (computing)|I have sent her dessert, a very special dessert. I wrote it myself; the woman cuts a sliver of the cake with her fork and then puts it in her mouth; she takes a sip of wine; at this point, the woman is feeling a pleasurable sensation in her body; an explosion is seen in the code and she quietly gets up from the table and leaves] No. Wrong. Choice is an ], created between those with power, and those without. Look there, at that woman. My God, just look at her. Affecting everyone around her, so obvious, so bourgeois, so boring. But wait… Watch – you see, ]. It starts so simply, each line of the program creating a new effect, just like poetry. First, a rush… heat… her heart flutters. You can see it, Neo, yes? She does not understand why – is it the wine? No. What is it then, what is the reason? And soon it does not matter, soon the why and the reason are gone, and all that matters is the feeling itself. This is the nature of the universe. We struggle against it, we fight to deny it, but it is of course pretense, it is a lie. Beneath our poised appearance, the truth is we are completely out of control. Causality. There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the "why". "Why" is what separates us from them, you from me. "Why" is the only real social power, without it you are powerless. And this is how you come to me, without "why", without power. Another link in the chain. But fear not, since I have seen how good you are at following orders, I will tell you what to do next. Run back, and give the fortune teller this message: Her time is almost up. Now I have some real business to do, I will say adieu and goodbye.

Neo: This isn’t over.

Merovingian: [[w:Locksmithing|The Keymaker] Oh yes, it is. ] is mine and I see no reason why I should give him up. No reason at all.

Persephone: Where are you going?

Merovingian: [Translation: my darling; [w:Urination|I must take a piss] Please, ma chérie , I’ve told you, we are all victims of causality. I drank too much wine, ]. Cause and effect. Au revoir.

Trinity: Touch me, and that hand will never touch anything again.

Neo: Well, that didn’t go so well.

Morpheus: [[w:The Oracle (The Matrix)|Oracle] Are you certain the ] didn’t say anything else?

Neo: Yes.

Trinity: Maybe we did something wrong.

Neo: Or didn’t do something.

Morpheus: No, what happened happened and couldn’t have happened any other way.

Neo: How do you know?

Morpheus: We are still alive.

Morpheus: What can you see, Neo?

Neo: It’s strange, the code is somehow different.

Morpheus: Encrypted?

Neo: Maybe.

Trinity: Is that good for us or bad for us?

Neo: Well, it looks like every floor is wired with explosives.

Trinity: Bad for us.

Morpheus: Here we go.

Maitre d’: [Translation: Can I help you?] Puis-je vous aider? :

Morpheus: [[w:Merovingian dynasty|the Merovingian] Yes, we are here to speak with ].

Maitre d’: Of course, he has been expecting you. Follow me.

Leonard Shelby: [[know] There are things you ] for sure.

Natalie: Such as?

Leonard Shelby: [[feel] I know what that's going to sound like when I knock on it. I know what that's going to ] like when I pick it up. See? Certainties. It's the kind of memory that you take for granted.

Natalie: What's the last thing that you do remember?

Leonard Shelby: My wife …

Natalie: That's sweet.

Leonard Shelby: [[dying] … ].

Claudia Wolf: You have the seal of Metatron. With it, I can summon the God. Give it to me.

Heather Mason: Take it. I want to see the truth of what you are.

Claudia Wolf: You have delivered us.

Claudia Wolf: You're insane. Just like your grandfather.

Trinity: [''Kisses him''; ''Neo resurrects, fully enlightened and the agents at the hallway end raise their firearms and simultaneously fire''] Neo, I’m not afraid anymore. The Oracle told me that I would fall in love, and that that man, the man who I loved would be The One. So you see, you can’t be dead. You can’t be, because I love you. You hear me? I love you. Now get up.

Neo: [''Raises a hand and stops all bullets in mid-air''] No.

Tank: [''Astounded''] How?

Morpheus: [''Mesmerized''] He is The One.

Trinity: [''Agent Smith appears behind Neo''] Run, Neo, run. What is he doing?

Morpheus: He's beginning to believe.

Smith: You're empty.

Neo: So are you.

Smith: [''After fighting a round''] I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Anderson.

Trinity: [''Neo coughs up blood after continued fighting''] Jesus, he's killing him.

Smith: [''After fighting a round ends with Neo in a headlock on subway tracks with the sound of approaching subway train''] You hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.

Neo: [''Neo jumps upward with Smith being smashed into ceiling and they fall down with Neo backflipping onto the platform and the train plowing into Smith''] My name... is Neo.

Tank: Okay. So what do you need, besides a miracle?

Neo: [''Endless aisles of firearms appear''] Guns. Lots of guns.

Trinity: [''Neo takes an [[w:Heckler & Koch MP5K#MP5K|MP5K] ] off a rack] Neo, no one has ever done anything like this.

Neo: [''Slap cocks the MP5K''] That’s why it’s going to work.

Neo: What are they doing to him?

Tank: Breaking into his mind. It’s like hacking into a computer, all it takes is time.

Neo: How much time?

Tank: Depends on the mind. Eventually it will crack and his alpha patterns will change from this to this. When it does, Morpheus will tell them anything they want to know.

Neo: Well, what do they want?

Tank: The leader of every ship is given codes to Zion’s mainframe computer. If an agent got the codes and got into Zion’s mainframe, it could destroy us. We can’t let that happen.

Neo: Trinity?

Tank: Zion’s more important than me or you or even Morpheus.

Neo: Well there has to be something that we can do.

Tank: There is. We pull the plug.

Trinity: You’re going to kill him? Kill Morpheus?

Tank: We don’t have any other choice.

Agent Smith: Never send a human to do a machine’s job.

Agent Brown: If indeed the insider has failed, they’ll sever the connection as soon as possible, unless...

Agent Jones: They’re dead, in either case...

Agent Smith: We have no choice but to continue as planned. Deploy the sentinels. Immediately.

Tank: Morpheus, you were more than a leader to us. You were… a father. We’ll miss you always.

Neo: Stop. I don’t believe this is happening.

Tank: Neo, this has to be done.

Neo: Does it? I don’t know, I... this can’t be just coincidence. It can’t be.

Tank: What are you talking about?

Neo: The Oracle. She told me this would happen. She told me that I would have to make a choice.

Trinity: What choice? What are you doing?

Neo: I’m going in.

Trinity: No you’re not.

Neo: I have to.

Trinity: Neo, Morpheus sacrificed himself so that he could get you out. There’s no way that you’re going back in.

Neo: Morpheus did what he did because he believed I am something I’m not.

Trinity: What?

Neo: I’m not the One, Trinity. The Oracle hit me with that too.

Trinity: No. You have to be.

Neo: I’m not, I’m sorry. I’m just another guy.

Trinity: No, Neo. That’s not true. It can’t be true.

Neo: Why?

Tank: Neo, this is insane. They’ve got Morpheus in a military controlled building. Even if you somehow got inside, those are agents holding him. Three of them. I want Morpheus back too, but what you’re talking about is suicide.

Neo: I know that’s what it looks like, but it’s not. I can’t explain to you why it’s not. Morpheus believed something and he was ready to give his life for what he believed. I understand that now. That’s why I have to go.

Tank: Why?

Neo: Because I believe in something.

Trinity: What?

Neo: [''Neo turns, walks to screen terminal and Trinity goes besides him and starts tapping on another screen terminal''] I believe I can bring him back... What are you doing?

Trinity: Going with you.

Neo: No, you’re not.

Trinity: [''Walks up to Neo''] No? Let me tell you what I believe. I believe Morpheus means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you’re really serious about saving him, you are going to need my help. And since I am the ranking officer on this ship, if you don’t like it, I believe you can go to hell. Because you aren’t going anywhere else. Tank? Load us up.

Cypher: Where are they?

Tank: Making the call.

Cypher: Good.

Trinity: You first, Neo.

Cypher: [''Fires lightning thrower at Tank but fails to hit him''; ''Fires it again and succeeds''] Shit!

Dozer: [''He witnesses it and lunges at Cypher''; ''Cypher fires lightning thrower at Dozer''] No!

Neo: I don’t know, it just went dead.

Cypher: Hello, Trinity.

Trinity: Cypher? Where’s Tank?

Cypher: [''Leans over Trinity's face''] 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.

Trinity: You killed them!

Apoc: What?!

Switch: Oh God!

Cypher: [''Jumps onto Morpheus' body''] 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.

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: [''Falls down dead''] Trinity.

Switch: [''Rushes down to him''] No!

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: [''She falls down dead''] Not like this. Not like this.

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: [''Realizes Tank survived and is aiming the lightning thrower''] No! I don’t believe it!

Tank: [''Fires lightning thrower at Cypher who goes flying into pipes''] Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you’re still gonna burn!

Tank: [[w:Airline seat|the fasten seat belt; [w:Inflight smoking|no smoking signs have been turned on] Everyone please observe, ] and ]. Sit back and enjoy your ride.

Morpheus: Unbelievable, isn’t it?

Neo: God.

Trinity: What?

Neo: [''Points at passing location''] I used to eat there. Really good noodles. I have these memories from my life. None of them happened. What does that mean?

Trinity: That the Matrix cannot tell you who you are.

Neo: And an Oracle can?

Trinity: That’s different.

Neo: Did you go to her?

Trinity: Yes.

Neo: What did she tell you?

Trinity: She told me.

Neo: What?

Morpheus: We’re here. Neo, come with me.

Neo: So is this the same Oracle that made the prophecy?

Morpheus: Yes. She’s very old. She’s been with us since the beginning.

Neo: The beginning?

Morpheus: Of the Resistance.

Neo: And she knows what, everything?

Morpheus: She would say she knows enough.

Neo: And she’s never wrong.

Morpheus: Try not to think of it in terms of right and wrong. She is a guide, Neo. She can help you to find the path.

Neo: She helped you?

Morpheus: Yes.

Neo: What did she tell you?

Morpheus: That I would find the one... I told you I can only show you the door. You have to walk through it.

Priestess: Hello, Neo. You’re right on time. Make yourself at home, Morpheus. Neo, come with me. These are the other potentials, you can wait here.

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Spoon boy: There is no spoon.

Neo: There is no spoon?

Spoon boy: Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Tank: [''Enters Neo's quarters''; ''Neo shakes head''] Morning, did you sleep? You will tonight, I guarantee it. I’m Tank, I’ll be your operator.

Neo: [''Noticing Tank's lack of electrical sockets''] You don’t... you don’t have any...

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: [''Nodding head''] 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...

Tank: [''Jumps into operator seat with Neo in his plug-in seat and Tank is rifling through [[w:Floppy disk|floppy discs; ''holds up floppy''] 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?

Neo: [''Reading on screen''; [w:Jujutsu|Jujitsu; ''Tank uploads program''] ]? I’m going to learn Jujitsu? Holy shit!

Tank: [[w:Life (cereal)|Hey Mikey, I think he likes it] ]. How about some more?

Neo: Hell yes!

Morpheus: [''Leaning over Tank''] How is he?

Tank: Ten hours straight. He’s... a machine.

Neo: [''To Morpheus leaning over him''; [w:Kung Fun|Kung Fu] I know ].

Morpheus: [''In the sparring program''; ''They fight a round''; ''Wagging fingers''] 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.

Mouse: [''To the Nebuchadnezzar crew in the mess''; ''They all scramble to see''] Morpheus is fighting Neo.

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: [''The jump program simulation is initiated Neo and Morpheus are on top of a skyscraper''; ''Morpheus jumps from the skyscraper to another skyscraper''] 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.

Neo: [''Makes focus-on-the-task-gestures''] Whoa. Okie dokie. Free my mind.

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: [''He jumps only to fall to the street landing softly''] All right, no problem. Free my mind. Free my mind. All right.

Mouse: Wha- what does that mean?

Switch: It doesn’t mean anything.

Cypher: Everybody falls the first time. Right, Trin'?

Neo: [''unplugged; wipes blood from mouth''] I thought it wasn’t real.

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.

Neo: Morpheus, what’s happened to me? What is this place?

Morpheus: More important than ‘What?’ is ‘When?’

Neo: When?

Morpheus: [''Walking through the hacking floor''] You believe it’s the year 1999 when in fact it’s closer to 2199. I can’t tell you exactly what year it is, because we honestly don’t know. There’s nothing I can say that will explain it for you, Neo. Come with me. See for yourself. This is my ship, the Nebuchadnezzar; it’s a hovercraft. This is the main deck. This is the core, where we broadcast our pirate signal and hack into the Matrix. Most of my crew you already know. This is Apoc, Switch, and Cypher.

Cypher: Hi.

Morpheus: [''Puts hands on Neo's shoulders''; ''Motions head to her''; ''To Neo in plug-in chair''; ''Slips in head plug and Neo becomes sentient in the construct''] The ones you don’t know, Tank and his big brother, Dozer. The little one behind you is Mouse. You wanted to know what the Matrix is, Neo? Trinity? Try to relax. This will feel a little weird. This is the construct. It’s our loading program. We can load anything from clothing, to equipment, weapons, training simulations, anything we need.

Neo: Right now we’re inside a computer program?

Morpheus: Is it really so hard to believe? Your clothes are different. The plugs in your arms and head are gone. Your hair has changed. Your appearance now is what we call residual self image. It is the mental projection of your digital self.

Neo: This... this isn’t real?

Morpheus: [[brain; ''Turns on vintage TV set and sits in an antique leather seat''; ''Changes channel to war-ravaged city with blackened thunderous skies, which suddenly surrounds them''; [w:artificial intelligence|AI] What "is" real? How do you define "real"? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then "real" is simply electrical signals interpreted by your ]. This is the world that you know. The world as it was at the end of the 20th century. It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix. You’ve been living in a dream world, Neo. This is the world as it exists today... Welcome.. to the desert.. of the real. We have only bits and pieces of information, but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early 21st century, all of mankind was united in celebration. We marvelled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to ].

Neo: AI? Artificial Intelligence?

Morpheus: [''Points upwards''; [w:Solar energy|solar power; [w:British thermal unit|BTUs of body heat; [dream; ''He holds up [[w:Duracell|a Duracell duralock D cell battery] A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on ], and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun. Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 ]. Combined with a form of fusion, the machines have found all the energy they would ever need. There are fields, Neo, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born. We are grown. For the longest time I wouldn’t believe it, and then I saw the fields with my own eyes. Watched them liquefy the dead so they could be fed intravenously to the living. And standing there, facing the pure horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer-generated ] world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into... this.

Neo: No. I don’t believe it. It’s not possible.

Morpheus: I didn’t say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.

Neo: [''Starts to panic''; ''Gets unplugged''] Stop. Let me out! Let me out! I want out!

Trinity: Easy, Neo. Easy.

Neo: Take this thing off me. Take this thing...

Morpheus: Listen to me...

Neo: Don’t touch me. Stay away from me. I don’t want it. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.

Cypher: He’s gonna pop.

Morpheus: [''Neo falls to knees, vomits, and then passes out''] Breathe, Neo. Just breathe.

Morpheus: Welcome to the real world... We’ve done it, Trinity. We’ve found him.

Trinity: I hope you’re right.

Morpheus: [[hope] I don’t have to ]. I know it.

Neo: Am I dead?

Morpheus: Far from it.

Dozer: He still needs a lot of work.

Neo: What are you doing?

Morpheus: Your muscles have atrophied; we’re rebuilding them.

Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?

Morpheus: [''Puts hand on Neo's head''] You’ve never used them before. Rest, Neo. The answers are coming.

Trinity: This is it. Let me give you one piece of advice. Be honest. He knows more than you can imagine.

Morpheus: At last. Welcome, Neo. As you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus.

Neo: [''Extends hand for handshake''] It’s an honor to meet you.

Morpheus: [[honor; ''They sit in armchairs facing each other''; [w:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole] No, the ] is mine. Please, come. Sit. I imagine that right now you’re feeling a bit like ], hmm?

Neo: You could say that.

Morpheus: [[fate] I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in ], Neo?

Neo: No.

Morpheus: Why not?

Neo: [[control] Because I don’t like the idea that I’m not in ] of my life.

Morpheus: [[mind] I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with this world. You don't know what, but it's there, like a splinter in your ], driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo: The Matrix?

Morpheus: [''Neo nods in response''; [television; [work; [truth] Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your ]. You can feel it when you go to ]. When you go to church. When you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the ].

Neo: What truth?

Morpheus: [''Leans in closer to Neo''; ''Pause''; ''Opens his pillbox, empties the contents into his palms, outstretches his hands as clenched fists''; ''opens his right hand revealing blue pill''; ''opens his left hand revealing red pill; [Alice in Wonderland|Wonderland; ''Neo, after a pause, reaches for the red pill''; ''Neo takes the red pill''; ''Leads Neo into a room with Trinity, Dozer, Apoc and Switch busy with peculiarly improvised electronic equipment''] That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be... told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in ], and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. ...Follow me. Apoc, are we online?

Apoc: Almost.

Morpheus: [''Neo sits in unplugging chair''] Time is always against us. Please, take a seat there.

Neo: [''Trinity working alongside him''] You did all this?

Trinity: Uh-huh.

Morpheus: The pill you took is part of a trace program. It’s designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signals so we can pinpoint your location.

Neo: What does that mean?

Cypher: [[w:The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, ’cause Kansas is going bye-bye] It means ].

Neo: [''Watches a cracked mirror become repaired''; ''He touches it and glass becomes viscous on his hand''] Did you...

Morpheus: [[dream] Have you ever had a ], Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

Neo: [''The illusionary glass starts spreading on his arm''] This can’t be...

Morpheus: [''The illusionary glass goes up his neck and into his throat; he wakes from the Matrix''] Be what? Be real?

Trinity: [[danger] Right now, all I can tell you is that you’re in ]. I brought you here to warn you.

Neo: Of what?

Trinity: They’re watching you, Neo.

Neo: Who is?

Trinity: [''Embraces him and leans close''; ''Speaking in his ear''] Please just listen. I know why you’re here, Neo. I know what you’ve been doing. I know why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night you sit at your computer. You’re looking for him. I know, because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn’t really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It’s the question that drives us, Neo. It’s the question that brought you here. You know the question just as I did.

Neo: What is the Matrix?

Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo. It’s looking for you. And it will find you, if you want it to.

Trinity: [''From behind Agent Jones about to shoot Neo''; ''Shoots and kills Agent Jones at point-blank range''] Dodge this.
