The Flawed Design of the Matrix
The Architect
The first Matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect; it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equalled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being. Thus I redesigned it, based on your history, to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus the answer was stumbled upon by another: an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the Matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
Neo
The Oracle.
The Architect
Please. As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99% of all test subjects accepted the program as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near-unconscious level. While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise-contradictory systemic anomaly that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if unchecked would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
Neo
This is about Zion.
The Architect
You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed, its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated.
Neo
Bullshit.
[The monitors have the same response, but in anger]
The Architect
Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

A Package Delivered in Unlikely Circumstances
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
Yes, that’s it, it’ll be over soon.

Struggles of Identity and Expectation
Scott Favor
Hey Mike, stay here and when you wake up come back into town and I'll be waiting for you. You'll be safer here in this comfy neighbourhood than in a city. I grew up in a neighborhood like this. With my dad. He has more fucking righteous gall than all the property and people he lords over. And those he also created. like me his son, but I almost get sick thinking that I am a son to him. You know you have to be as good as him to keep up, you have to be able to lift as big a weight, you have to be able to throw that weight as far. Or make as much money. Or be as heartless. To hold your ground. My dad doesn't realize I'm just a kid. He thinks I'm a threat.

Humanity's Voice in an Alien Encounter
Regina Jackson
What is your purpose in coming here?
Klaatu
There is a gathering of world leaders not far from here. I will explain my purpose to them.
Regina Jackson
I am afraid that is not possible. Perhaps you should explain yourself to me instead.
Klaatu
Do you speak for the entire human race?
Regina Jackson
I speak for the President of the United States. Now please, tell me why have you come to our planet.
Klaatu
Your planet?
Regina Jackson
Yes. This is our planet.
Klaatu
No, it is NOT.

Chaz Kramer

John Constantine
I told you to move the car.
Chaz Kramer
Yeah, but if you'd told me you were going to drop a three-hundred pound mirror with a pissed off demon in it, I would have moved it further, John!

Ted

[also takes out a folded piece of paper from his pocket; begins to read]

Joanna. As I wander through this dark and lonely forest of life, surrounded by various beasts...Bears, vipers, squirrels. Not to mention small tree growing lichen, woodpeckers, slugs, gila monsters. Oh no, that's the desert.
[also begins to read; the two talk simultaneously]
Ted
As I swim through this dark and fearful sea of existence, surrounded by various creatures...Sharks, eels, yellowtail, and also barnacles, and algae, man-o-wars, starfish, blowfish, catfish. Uh oooh, that's fresh water.
Bill
The point is I know we promised you a better life.
Ted
What mean is we told you the future had some really good stuff.
Bill
But all that stuff hasn't happened.
Bill and Ted
But it will, I hope.
Ted
The day after tomorrow, if things work out...
Bill
What I mean is....
Ted
Will you...?
Bill
...Marry us?
Elizabeth
Theodore...
Joanna
I'd love to.

It's been a while. My condolences. How're you holding up?
John Wick

Art and Life: The Complexity of Suffering
The Director
You know, when my pupils first come here, they wish for one thing: a life free of suffering. I try to dissuade them from these childish notions, but as you know, art is pain. Life is suffering. All of this for what? Because of a puppy?
[pause]
John Wick
It wasn't just a puppy.

The Purpose of Persistence
Smith
Why, Mr. Anderson? Why, why, why? Why do you do it? Why? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom or truth?! Perhaps peace?! Could it be for love?! Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception! Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose! And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love! You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson! You must know it by now! You can't win! It's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson?! Why?! WHY DO YOU PERSIST?!
[visibly agitated; Now clearly enraged]
Neo
Because I choose to.

Miscommunication Among Teammates
Shane Falco
Lay off.
Eddie Martel
Lighten up, Falco. It's not like he can hear what I'm saying.
Falco
I can.
Martel
What's it say?
Falco
There's one good thing about being deaf; it makes it easier to ignore the assholes." "You..." "Asshole.
[Murphy taps Martel on the chest and points to him; Falco translates the sign language; Murphy makes a circle with his left hand and wiggles his right index finger in it]
Martel
Heh, that's funny.
[Martel sucker punches Falco. Replacement players start to stand up, while Murphy starts to confront Martel, when Shane stands up again]
Falco
Hey, it's cool! It's cool! You've had enough?
[To Martel]
Martel
Look at this guy. You've got balls, Falco. You've got shit for brains, but you have balls.
[Chuckling with his teammates]
Falco
Well, thank you. Hey Danny! Remember what I told you about redshirts in practice?
[To Bateman, who's by the jukebox]
Bateman
Yeah.
Falco
Forget about it.
Bateman
Ok...
Falco
Hey Martell.

Bateman
Yaaaah!

Mike Waters
For some reason I'm forgetting a German guy named Hans.
Scott Favor
Well. You were sleeping.
Mike Waters
How much do you make off me while I'm sleeping?
Scott Favor
Just a ride, Mike. I don't make anything. What, you think that I sell your body while you are asleep?
Mike Waters
Yeah.

No, Mike. I'm on your side.

Morpheus
], so I must be brief. They got to you first, but they’ve underestimated how important you are. If they knew what I know, you’d probably be dead.

Neo
What are you talking about. What... what is happening to me?
Morpheus
You are The One, Neo. You see, you may have spent the last few years looking for me, but I’ve spent my entire life looking for you. Now do you still want to meet?
Neo
Yes.

The Importance of Love and Care
Oracle
That’s it. That’s the secret. You’ve got to use your hands.
Sati
Why?
Oracle
Cookies need love like everything does.
Sati
Neo!
Oracle
I was hoping to have these done before you got here. Oh well. Sati, honey, I think it’s time for a tasting. Take the bowl to Seraph and find out if they’re ready.
Sati
Okay. I’m glad you got out.
[to Neo]
Neo
Me too.
Oracle
So, do you recognize me?
Neo
A part of you.
Oracle
Yeah, that’s how it works. Some bits you lose, some bits you keep. I don’t yet recognize my face in the mirror, but… I still love candy.
[Offers Neo a piece of red candy]
Neo
No, thank you.
Oracle
Remember what you were like when you first walked through my door, jittery as a junebug? And now just look at you. You sure did surprise me, Neo, and you still do.
Neo
You gave me a few surprises, too.
Oracle
I hope I helped.
Neo
You helped me to get here, but my question is why? Where does this go? Where does it end?
Oracle
I don’t know.
Neo
You don’t know or you won’t tell me?
Oracle
I told you before. No one can see beyond a choice they don’t understand, and I mean no one.
Neo
What choice?
Oracle
It doesn’t matter. It’s my choice. I have mine to make, same as you have yours.
Neo
Does that include what things to tell me and what not to tell me?
Oracle
Of course not.
Neo
Then why didn’t you tell me about the Architect? Why didn’t you tell me about Zion and the Ones before me? Why didn’t you tell me the truth?
Oracle
Because it wasn’t time for you to know.
Neo
Who decided it wasn’t time?
Oracle
You know who.
[Points at the Temet Nosce sign above the door]
Neo
I did. Then I think it’s time for me to know a few more things.
[Oracle nods]
Oracle
So do I.
Neo
Tell me how I separated my mind from my body without jacking in. Tell me how I stopped four Sentinels by thinking it. Tell me just what the hell is happening to me.
Oracle
The power of the One extends beyond this world. It reaches from here all the way back to where it came from.
Neo
Where?
Oracle
The Source. That’s what you felt when you touched those Sentinels. But you weren’t ready for it. You should be dead, but apparently you weren’t ready for that, either.
Neo
The Architect told me that if I didn’t return to the Source, Zion would be destroyed by midnight tonight.
Oracle
Please… You and I may not be able to see beyond our own choices, but that man can’t see past any choice.
[Rolls eyes]
Neo
Why not?
Oracle
He doesn’t understand them – he can’t. To him they are variables in an equation. One at a time each variable must be solved and counted. That’s his purpose: to balance the equation.
Neo
What’s your purpose?
Oracle
To unbalance it.
Neo
Why? What do you want?
Oracle
I want the same thing you want, Neo. And I'm willing to go as far as you are to get it.
Neo
The end of the war. Is it going to end?
[Oracle nods]
Oracle
One way or another.
Neo
Can Zion be saved?
Oracle
I’m sorry, I don’t have the answer to that question, but if there is an answer, there’s only one place you’re going to find it.
Neo
Where?
Oracle
You know where. And if you can’t find the answer, then I’m afraid there may be no tomorrow for any of us.
Neo
What does that mean?
Oracle
Everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death. And you are all that stands in his way.
Neo
Smith.
Oracle
Very soon he’s going to have the power to destroy this world, but I believe he won’t stop there; he can’t. He won’t stop until there’s nothing left at all.
[Nods]
Neo
What is he?
Oracle
He is you. Your opposite, your negative, the result of the equation trying to balance itself out.
Neo
What if I can’t stop him?
Oracle
One way or another, Neo, this war is going to end. Tonight, the future of both worlds will be in your hands… or in his.

Merovingian
Handle" us?! You’ll "handle" us?! You know, your predecessors had much more respect. Okay, you have some skill. Kill him.
[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]
Merovingian
You see, he’s just a man.
Merovingian
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!

A Past Encounter Shapes Their Present Paths
Bowery King
As I live and breathe! John Wick. The man. The myth. The legend. You're not very good at retiring.
John Wick
I'm workin on it.
Bowery King
Mr. Wick doesn't remember, but we met many years ago, before my ascension... When I was just a pawn in the game. We met and you gave me a gift, the gift that would make me a king. You don't remember, but there I was standing in an alleyway. I didn't even hear you comin'. You gave me this. Gift from the Boogeyman. Perfect for every occasion. But you also gave me a choice. Pull my gun, shoot you in the back, and die, or keep the pressure on my neck...and live. And so you see, I survived. No one sneaks up on me anymore thanks to you. I am all-seeing and all-knowing.
John Wick
Then you know why I'm here.
Bowery King
Santino D'Antonio, yes. Your contract went wide, John. That's bad for your health. What's the number up to now, Earl?
Bowery King
Seven million dollars! Damn! It's Christmas. We're going to Applebee's after this.
John Wick
I need your help. You have eyes begging for change on every corner in the city. I'm thinkin you can find Santino. I need you to move me. Underground. Get me to him.
Bowery King
How sweet it is! The Boogeyman begging me for help. Well, of course, John. Yes, John. Whatever you'd like, John. Would you like a back rub with that, John?
John Wick
You're going to help me.
Bowery King
Why the fuck would I do that?
John Wick
Because I'm the only one that can help you.
Bowery King
You're gonna help me out? That's downright upright of you, Mr. Wick. You sound positively magnanimous. But look around you. How much help does it look like I need? It seems to me that the real question, Mr. Wick, is who in this cruel world of ours...is going to help you?

Understanding Love and Destiny in The Matrix
Neo
I think so.
Oracle
So, what do you think? Do you think you’re The One?
Neo
I don’t know.
Oracle
You know what that means? It's Latin. Means "]". I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Being The One is just like being in love. No one can tell you you're in love, you just know it. Through and through. Balls to bones.
[''The latin phrase ''Temet Nosce'' appears on an inscription over the Oracle's door''; [w:Know thyself|Know thyself]
Neo
Ahhh.
Oracle
Okay. Now I’m supposed to say, “Umm, that’s interesting, but...” then you say...
Neo
But what?
Oracle
But you already know what I’m going to tell you.
Neo
I’m not The One.
Oracle
Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you’re waiting for something.
Neo
What?
Oracle
Your next life, maybe? who knows? That’s the way these things go. What’s funny?
Neo
Morpheus. He- he almost had me convinced.
Oracle
I know. Poor Morpheus. Without him we’re lost.
Neo
What do you mean, without him?
Oracle
Are you sure you want to hear this? Morpheus believes in you, Neo. And no one, not you, not even me can convince him otherwise. He believes it so blindly that he’s going to sacrifice his life to save yours.
Neo
What?
Oracle
You’re going to have to make a choice. In the one hand you’ll have Morpheus’ life and in the other hand you’ll have your own. One of you is going to die. Which one will be up to you. I’m sorry, kiddo, I really am. You have a good soul, and I hate giving good people bad news. Oh, don’t worry about it. As soon as you step outside that door, you’ll start feeling better. You’ll remember you don’t believe in any of this fate crap. You’re in control of your own life, remember? Here, take a cookie. I promise, by the time you’re done eating it, you’ll feel right as rain.
Morpheus
What was said was for you and for you alone.

Trinity
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
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.
[''Embraces him and leans close''; ''Speaking in his ear'']
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.

Understanding the Matrix and Its Enemies
Morpheus
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around. What do you see? ], ], ], ]. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. Were you listening to me, Neo, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

[''Woman has become an Agent Smith [[wikt:avatar|avatar; ''All pedestrians and agent become frozen in place'']

[''Walking around Agent Smith avatar'']
Morpheus
No. It’s another training program designed to teach you one thing. If you are not one of us, you are one of them.
Neo
What are they?
Morpheus
Sentient programs. They can move in and out of any software still hard-wired to their system. That means that anyone we haven’t unplugged is potentially an agent. Inside the Matrix, they are everyone and they are no one. We have survived by hiding from them, by running from them. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors, they are holding all the keys, which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to fight them.
Neo
Someone?
Morpheus
I won't lie to you, Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an agent has died. But where they have failed, you will succeed.
Neo
Why?
Morpheus
I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.
Neo
What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?
Morpheus
No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

Meeting the Architect in The Matrix Reloaded
The Architect
Hello, Neo.
Neo
Who are you?
The Architect
I am the Architect. I created the Matrix. I have been waiting for you. You have many questions and though the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize, it is also the most irrelevant.
Neo
Why am I here?
The Architect
Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the Matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control, which has led you, inexorably, here.
Neo
You haven't answered my question.
The Architect
Quite right. ...Interesting, that was quicker than the others.
Neo Monitors
Others? What others? How many? Answer me.
The Architect
The Matrix is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.
Neo Monitors
Five ones before me? Bullshit. Liar!
Neo
There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me…or no one knows.
The Architect
Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly is systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations.
Neo Monitors
You can't control me! I'm gonna smash you into fucking bits! FUCKING DEAD! I'll fucking kill you! I can say whatever I want! You can't make me do that! You old, white, prick!
Neo
… Choice. The problem is choice.

We know that you've been contacted by a certain individual, a man who calls himself Morpheus. Now whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant.

Secrets of the Building's Hidden Level
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
That is the length and breadth of the window. Only ] can open the door, and only during that window can the door be opened.

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.

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?

Keymaker
Here, just here.
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?

Simon Wyler
Hmm? Oh, yeah, here, take a gander. It's a proposal for a museum.
Alex Wyler
Who is it?
Simon Wyler
Someone new.
Alex Wyler
Oh, I like the walkways, where the light falls. What are the materials?
Simon Wyler
Granite. Aluminum.
Alex Wyler
White panels are straight out of Meier... but the interior color coming through the front windows, that's different. It's not new, but it's clean, uncluttered. I like it.
Simon Wyler
When was the last time you were in Barcelona?
Alex Wyler
Years ago, with you, Mom and Henry.
Simon Wyler
Do you remember visiting Casa de la Caritat?
Alex Wyler
The almshouse.
Simon Wyler
That's right. You mentioned Meier. His Barcelona museum stands in the same area as Casa de la Caritat. It drinks the same light. Meier designed a series of louvered skylights to capture that light and cast it inward to illuminate the art within, but indirectly. And, that was important, because although light enhances art, it can also degrade it. But, you know all that already, you son of a gun. Now, this... where do you suppose this is to be built?
Alex Wyler
I have no idea.
Simon Wyler
Oh, but you said you liked it.
Alex Wyler
Conceptually.
Simon Wyler
Now, come on. You know as well as I do that the light in Barcelona is quite different from the light in Tokyo. And, the light in Tokyo is different from that in Prague. A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature. He must be captivated by the light. Always the light. Always.

A Meeting with the Oracle
The Oracle
Well, come on. I ain’t gonna bite ya. Come around here, and let me have a look at ya. My goodness, look at you! You turned out all right, didn’t you? How do you feel?
Neo
I, uh...
The Oracle
I know you’re not sleeping. We’ll get to that. Why don’t you come and have a sit this time?
Neo
Maybe I’ll stand.
The Oracle
Well, suit yourself.
Neo
I felt like sitting.
[sits down]
The Oracle
I know. So. Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way.
Neo
You’re not human, are you?
The Oracle
Well it’s tough to get any more obvious than that.
Neo
If I had to guess, I’d say you’re a program from the machine world. So is he.
[referring to Seraph]
The Oracle
So far, so good.
Neo
But if that’s true, that can mean you are a part of this system, another kind of control.
The Oracle
Keep going.
Neo
I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you?
The Oracle
Bingo! It is a pickle, no doubt about it. The bad news is there’s no way if you can really know whether I’m here to help you or not. So it’s really up to you. You just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I’m going to tell you, or reject it. Candy?
Neo
D’you already know if I’m going to take it?
The Oracle
Wouldn’t be much of an Oracle if I didn’t.
Neo
But if you already know, how can I make a choice?
The Oracle
Because you didn’t come here to make the choice, you’ve already made it. You’re here to try to understand why you made it. I thought you’d have figured that out by now.
Neo
Why are you here?
The Oracle
Same reason. I love candy.
Neo
But why help us?
The Oracle
We’re all here to do what we’re all here to do. I’m interested in one thing, Neo, the future. And believe me, I know – the only way to get there is together.
Neo
Are there other programs like you?
The Oracle
Oh, well, not like me. But… Look, see those birds? At some point a program was written to govern them. A program was written to watch over the trees, and the wind, the sunrise, and sunset. There are programs running all over the place. The ones doing their job, doing what they were meant to do, are invisible. You’d never even know they were here. But the other ones, well, we hear about them all the time.
Neo
I’ve never heard of them.
The Oracle
Of course you have. ]
[[w:malware|Every time you’ve heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel. Every story you’ve ever heard about vampires, werewolves, or aliens is the system assimilating some program that’s doing something they’re not supposed to be doing.]
Neo
]. Why?
[[w: Trojan horse (computing)|Programs hacking programs]
The Oracle
They have their reasons, but usually a program chooses exile when it faces deletion.
Neo
And why would a program be deleted?
The Oracle
Maybe it breaks down. Maybe a better program is created to replace it – happens all the time, and when it does, a program can either choose to hide here, or return to ].
[[w:The Architect (The Matrix)|The Source]
Neo
The machine mainframe?
The Oracle
Yes. Where you must go. Where the path of The One ends. You’ve seen it, in your dreams, haven’t you? The door made of light?
The Oracle
What happens when you go through the door?
Neo
I see Trinity, and something happens, something bad. She starts to fall, and then I wake up.
The Oracle
Do you see her die?
Neo
No.
The Oracle
You have the sight now, Neo. You are looking at the world without time.
Neo
Then why can’t I see what happens to her?
The Oracle
We can never see past the choices we don’t understand.
Neo
Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies?
The Oracle
No. You’ve already made the choice, now you have to understand it.
Neo
No, I can’t do that. I won’t.
The Oracle
You have to.
Neo
Why?
The Oracle
Because you’re The One.
Neo
What if I can’t? What happens if I fail?
The Oracle
Then Zion will fall. Our time is up. Listen to me, Neo. You can save Zion if you reach The Source, but to do that you will need the Keymaker.
Neo
The Keymaker?
The Oracle
Yes, he disappeared some time ago. We did not know what happened to him until now. He’s being held prisoner by a very dangerous program, one of the oldest of us. He is called the Merovingian, and he will not let him go willingly.
Neo
What does he want?
The Oracle
What do all men with power want? More power. Be there, at that exact time, and you will have a chance.
Seraph
We must go.
The Oracle
Seems like every time we meet I’ve got nothing but bad news. I’m sorry about that, I surely am. But for what it’s worth, you’ve made a believer out of me. Good luck, kiddo.

The Contrast Between House and Home

Alex Wyler
Containment. Containment and control. This house is about ownership, not connection. I mean, it's beautiful. Seductive, even. But, it's incomplete. It was all about him. Dad knew how to build a house, not a home. But you know... I think he wants us to do what he couldn't. But, admitting that would mean admitting that he came up short in some way... that he could do more. And that tortures him.

Quicksand.
Clifford Franklin
Oh, shit, Shane! Hey, quicksand's a scary mother, man. I mean, first of all, they suck you right in, and even if you scream, you get all that muck in your mouth–
Coach McGinty
That's not what he meant, Franklin.
Franklin
What?

That's not what he meant.

Falco
You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink, until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.

Trial Statements on Character and Morality
Kevin Lomax
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I know you've spent all morning listening to Mr. Broygo talk. I know you're hungry. What I need to tell you won't take very long at all. I don't like Alexander Cullen. I don't think he's a nice person. I don't expect you to like him. He's been a terrible husband to all three of his wives. He's been a destructive force in the lives of his stepchildren. He's cheated the city, his partners, his employees. He's paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties and fines over the years. I don't like him. I'm going to tell you some things during the course of this trial that are going to make you like him even less. But this isn't a popularity contest; it's a murder trial.
