Trinity What?
Neo I used to eat there. Really good noodles. I have these memories from my life. None of them happened. What does that mean?

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.

The Matrix
Love and Destiny in The Matrix

The Matrix
Introduction 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.

The Matrix
Mind Hacking and Its Consequences
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 I believe I can bring him back... What are you doing?
[''Neo turns, walks to screen terminal and Trinity goes besides him and starts tapping on another screen terminal'']
Trinity Going with you.
Neo No, you’re not.
Trinity 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.
[''Walks up to Neo'']

The Matrix
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'']
