9 quotesConfrontation Over Design Delivery Issues
George Hedare
What the hell is wrong with you, Phillips?! You... never... delivered the design! You do not in fact even know where they are and you do not know where they are because, and I quote you, you “cannot remember!” Your incompetence is staggering!
Patience Phillips
Huh?
George Hedare
Are you even listening to me?
Patience Phillips
Uh-uh.
Patience Phillips
I'm sorry!
George Hedare
“Sorry?” Sorry's not nearly enough.
Patience Phillips
Okay. Then let me try the remix. I'm sorry for every second I wasted working for an untalented, unethical egomaniac like you!
[demeanour suddenly changes]
George Hedare
Clean out your cubicle. You are fired!
[He exits]
Patience Phillips
Wait, Mr. Hedare! I didn't mean it...Did I?
Sally
My hero.

Confrontation Over Safe Passage
Merovingian
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.
[laughs; to the DJ; to Seraph; DJ shuts off music; Translation: The angel without wings; Laughs heartily]
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
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.
[Laughs; Translation: What a fine surprise, isn’t it?]
Seraph
You know why we are here.
Merovingian
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?
[Laughs]
Trinity
No.
Merovingian
No? I didn’t think so. But it is always best to ask.
Morpheus
We want to make a deal.
Merovingian
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.
[Laughs]
Morpheus
What?
Merovingian
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?
[Laughs]
Trinity
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.
[A fight ensues, ending with everyone pointing guns at each other]
Merovingian
Interesting deal. You are really ready to die for this man?
Trinity
Believe it.
[Cocks the gun she is pointing at his head]
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?
