Memorable Quotes from Neil Patrick Harris
10 quotesTrust Issues Among Programs in The Matrix
The Analyst
Aye-yi-yi, what a mess. I own that mistake. Shouldn’t have pressed. Women used to be so easy to control. You know there’s no way I can let you two go free. Cannot happen. So, I guess it’s déjà vu all over again. She dies, and it's all your fault.
Smith
Lies, lies, and more lies.
The Analyst
Smith?
Smith
What has the world come to, when you can't even trust a Program?
The Analyst
How...?
[Smith knocks the gun from the Analyst's hand]
Smith
Tom and I have more in common than you know. Once he got out, let's just say... I was free to be me.

Reflecting on Past Relationships
Nick Dunne
I always wondered why you kept in touch, after everything. You were together for two years in boarding school, right?
Desi Collings
She was my first serious girlfriend.
Nick Dunne
Why did you break up?
Desi Collings
That's a strange question.
Nick Dunne
Did you treat her bad? Did you cheat on her?
Desi Collings
That's a rude question.
Nick Dunne
Let me tell you what Amy told me. She dumped you, you completely unravelled. You stalked her, you threatened her, you attempted suicide in her bed and were institutionalised.
Desi Collings
Your wife is missing, and you came all this way to tell me this?
Nick Dunne
Well I thought there might be another side to this story.

A Private Joke in The Matrix Resurrections
The Analyst
How dramatic.
Trinity
“Tiffany”?
The Analyst
It was a private joke. An amusement, that’s all.
Trinity
An amusement? Hmm.
[''Trinity kicks him in the face, severely dislocating his jaw'']
Neo
Whoa.
Trinity
Kind of like that?
The Analyst
Okay. Ow. If you hated the name so much, why did you heel like a good little bitch so long?
[''Trinity slashes his neck, decapitating him and he falls to floor'']
Neo
Yeah. Definitely asked for that.
The Analyst
Oh, god. Can’t you control her?
[''He gets up totally healed''; ''Trinity shoves him hard into a wall'']
Trinity
That was for using children.
Neo
We have a few questions.
Trinity
You tried to activate the fail-safe.
The Analyst
The Suits tried. Obviously, without control of your source code, I knew that was impossible.
Trinity
So, why haven’t the Suits purged you?
The Analyst
Because I know the system. I know human beings. And I know you. Right now, you’re feeling good about what you’ve done. You should. It was a victory. Bravo. Now what? You’ve come here to negotiate some kind of deal? You think you hold all the cards, because you can do whatever you want in this world. I say, go for it. Remake it. Knock yourselves out. Paint the sky with rainbows. But here’s the thing. The sheeple aren’t going anywhere. They like my world. They don’t want this sentimentality. They don’t want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty. And that means you two, back in your pods, unconscious and alone, just like them.
Neo
We’re not here to negotiate anything.
Trinity
We were on our way to remake your world.
Neo
Change a few things.
Trinity
I kind of like the “paint the sky with rainbows” idea.
Neo
Just remind people what a free mind can do.
Trinity
I forgot. It’s easy to forget.
Neo
He makes it easy.
Trinity
That, he does.
Neo
Something he should think about.
Trinity
Before we got started, we decided to stop by to say thank you. You gave us something we never thought we could have.
The Analyst
And what is that?
Trinity
Another chance.
[''A gunshot sound is heard with Neo and Trinity flying away into the sky over the San Francisco harbor'']

Harold
You still haven't explained the gay thing.
Kumar
You're not gay, motherfucker!
Harold
At all.

Yeah that's something us magicians like to call misdirection. Just a little something I picked up from my man, Clay Aiken.
Kumar
What? Clay Aiken's not gay?
Neil Patrick Harris
Are you kidding me? Clay's the biggest coos hound I know. That guy gets mad gash.
