Betrayal and Consequences in Relationships
Merovingian
Oh God, my God, Persephone how could you do this, you betrayed me!
[Speaks French]
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
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.
[Translation: it's nothing; Translation: it's nothing at all]
Persephone
So is this. Have fun.
Merovingian
All right. All right. Let us find out where this goes. You two, get the Keymaker.
[The twins phantasmographosize and sink completely into the floor]
Trinity
That’s a nice trick.
Keymaker
I cannot go back.
[He runs out of the room with Trinity and Morpheus following]
Neo
I’ll handle them.
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!
[Neo finishes off the last goon; He leaves the room]

A Kiss for the Keymaker
Persephone
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.
[to man in washroom]
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
Why don’t you sample this instead?
[She holds up her gun to Persephone's head]
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
Terrible. Forget it.
[Neo kisses her; she is not satisfied]
Neo
Wait. Okay.
Persephone
Ahh, yes. That’s it. I envy you. But such a thing is not meant to last. Come with me.
[he kisses her again; this time...]

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?

A Meeting of Key Characters in The Matrix
Merovingian
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.
[Translation: so beautiful that it makes me suffer]
Neo
No, thank you.
Merovingian

Morpheus
You know why we are here.
Merovingian
Hmm, ], I know everything I can. The question is, do you know why you are here?
[[w:Webmaster|I am a trafficker of information]
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
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.
[Laughs]
Morpheus
Everything begins with ].
[[w:choice|choice]
Merovingian
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.
