Cellular
Cypher: Yeah.
Trinity: Is everything in place?
Cypher: You weren't supposed to relieve me.
Trinity: I know, but I want to take your shift.
Cypher: You like watching him, don't you? You like watching him.
Trinity: Don't be ridiculous.
Cypher: We're going to kill him, do you understand that?
Trinity: Morpheus believes he is the one.
Cypher: Do you?
Trinity: It doesn't matter what I believe.
Cypher: You don't, do you?
Trinity: Did you hear that? Cypher: Hear what?
Trinity: Are you sure this line is clean?
Cypher: Yeah, of course I'm sure.
Trinity: I better go.
Hotel room
Cop: Freeze, Police. Hands on your head. Do it. Do it now.
Street
Agent Smith: Lieutenant...
Lieutenant: Oh shit.
Agent Smith: Lieutenant, you were given specific orders.
Lieutenant: Hey, I'm just doing my job. You give me juris- my diction crap,
you can cram it up your ass.
Agent Smith: Your orders were for your protection.
Lieutenant: I think we can handle one little girl.... I sent two units. They're
bringing her down now.
Agent Smith: No Lieutenant, your men are already dead.
Hotel room
Trinity: Morpheus,
the line was traced, I don't know how.
Morpheus: I know, they cut the hard line. There's no time, you're going to have
to get to another exit.
Trinity: Are there any agents?
Morpheus: Yes.
Trinity: God-dammit.
Morpheus: You have to focus, Trinity. There's a phone at Wells and Lake. You
can make it.
Trinity: All right.
Morpheus: Go.
Rooftop
Cop: That's impossible.

Trinity: Get up Trinity. Just get up. Get up.

Agent Brown: She
got out.
Agent Smith: It doesn't matter.
Agent Jones: The informant is real.
Agent Smith: Yes.
Agent Jones: We have the name of their next target.
Agent Brown: The name is Neo.
Agent Smith: We'll need a search running.
Agent Jones: It has already begun.
Neo's apartment
Neo: What? What
the hell?... Follow the white rabbit?... Who is it?
Choi: It's Choi.
Neo: Yeah. Yeah. You're two hours late.
Choi: I know, it's her fault.
Neo: Got the money?
Choi: Two grand.
Neo: Hold on.
Choi: Hallelujah. You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ.
Neo: You get caught using that...
Choi: Yeah, I know. This never happened. You don't exist.
Neo: Right.
Choi: Something wrong, man? You look a little whiter than usual.
Neo: My computer, it... You ever have that feeling where you're not sure if
you're awake or still dreaming?
Choi: Mm, all the time. It's called Mescaline. It's the only way to fly. Hey,
it just sounds to me like you need to unplug, man. You know, get some R
and R. What do you think, DuJour? Shall we take him with us?
DuJour: Definitely.
Neo: I can't, I have work tomorrow.
DuJour: Come on, It'll be fun. I promise.
Neo: Yeah, sure, I'll go.
Club
Trinity: Hello Neo.
Neo: How do you know that name?
Trinity: I know a lot about you.
Neo: Who are you?
Trinity: My name is Trinity.
Neo: Trinity. The Trinity? That cracked the IRS d-base?
Trinity: That was a long time ago.
Neo: Jesus.
Trinity: What?
Neo: I just thought, um...you were a guy.
Trinity: Most guys do.
Neo: It you on my computer. How did you do that?
Trinity: Right now all I can tell you is that you're in danger. 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 mad. It's the question that brought you here. You
know the question just as I did.
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.
Neo's apartment
Neo: Oh shit. Oh shit shit.
Office
Mr. Rhineheart:
You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson. You believe that you are special,
that somehow the rules do not apply to you.
Obviously you are mistaken. This company is one of the top software companies
in the world because every single employee understands that they are part of
a whole. Thus if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem. The time
has come to make a choice, Mr. Anderson. Either you choose to be at your desk
on time from this day forward or you choose to find yourself another job. Do
I make myself clear?
Neo: Yes, Mr. Rhineheart, perfectly clear.
Neo's cubicle
FedEx man: Thomas
Anderson?
Neo: Yeah, that's me.
FedEx man: Ok, great. Have a nice day.
Neo: Hello.
Morpheus: Hello Neo. Do you know who this is?
Neo: Morpheus.
Morpheus: Yes. I've been looking for you, Neo. I don't know if you're ready
to see what I want to show you, but unfortunately you and I have run
out of time. They're coming for you, Neo, and I don't know what they're going
to do.
Neo: Who's coming for me?
Morpheus: Stand up and see for yourself.
Neo: What, right now.
Morpheus: Yes, now. Do it slowly. The elevator.
Neo: Oh shit.
Morpheus: Yes.
Neo: What the hell do they want from me?
Morpheus: I don't know, but if you don't want to find out I suggest you get
out of there.
Neo: How?
Morpheus: I can guide you but you must do exactly as I say.
Neo: Ok.
Morpheus: The cubicle across from you is empty.
Neo: What if they...
Morpheus: Go, now...Stay here for just a moment. When I tell you, go to the
end of the row, to the office at the end of the hall. Stay as low as you can....
Go, now.... Good. Now, outside there is a scaffold.
Neo: How do you know all this?
Morpheus: We don't have time, Neo. To your left there's a window. Go to it....
Open it. You can use the scaffold to get to the roof.
Neo: No way. No way. This is crazy.
Morpheus: There are two ways out of this building. One is that scaffold, the
other is in their custody. You take a chance either way. I leave it to
you.
Neo: This is insane. Why is this happening to me? What did I do? I'm nobody....
I'm gonna die ... Shit.... I can't do this.
Street
Trinity: Shit.
Interrogation
Agent Smith: As
you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson. It seems
that you've been living two lives. In one life,
you're Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company,
you have a social security number, you pay your taxes, and you
help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers,
where you go by the hacker alias Neo and are guilty of virtually every computer
crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does
not. I'm going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr. Anderson. You're here because
we need your help. 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. He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous
man alive. My colleagues believe that I am wasting my time with you but I believe
that you wish to do the right thing. We're willing to wipe the slate clean,
give you a fresh start and all that we're asking in return is your cooperation
in bringing a known terrorist to justice.
Neo: Yeah. Wow, that sound like a really good deal. But I think I got a better
one. How about I give you the finger... and you give me my phone call.
Agent Smith: Um, Mr. Anderson. You disappoint me.
Neo: You can't scare me with this Gestapo crap. I know my rights. I want my
phone call.
Agent Smith: Tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is a phone call if you're unable
to speak.... You're going to help us, Mr. Anderson whether you want to or not.
Neo's apartment
Morpheus: This line
is tapped, 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.
Morpheus: Then go to the Adam Street Bridge.
Car
Trinity: Get in.
Neo: What the hell is this?
Trinity: It's necessary, Neo. For our protection.
Neo: From what.
Trinity: From you. Take off your shirt.
Neo: What?
Switch: Stop the car. Listen to me, Copper-top. We don't have time for twenty
questions. Right now there's only one rule, our way or the highway.
Neo: Fine.
Trinity: Please, Neo. You have to trust me
Neo: Why?
Trinity: Because you have been down there, Neo. You know that road. You know
exactly where it ends. And I know that's not where you want to
be.... Apoc, lights. Lie back, lift up your shirt.
Neo: What is that thing?
Trinity: We think you're bugged.... Try and relax.... Come on. Come on.
Switch: It's on the move.
Trinity: Shit.
Switch: You're going to loose it.
Trinity: No I'm not. Clear.
Neo: Jesus Christ, that thing's real?
Lafayette Hotel
Trinity: This is
it. Let me give you one piece of advice. Be honest. He knows more than you can
imagine.
Morpheus: At last. Welcome, Neo. As you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus.
Neo: It's an honor to meet you.
Morpheus: No, the honor is mine. Please, come. Sit down. I imagine that right
now you're feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole? Hm?
Neo: You could say that.
Morpheus: I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts
what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is
not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're
here because you know something. What you know you can't
explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something
wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a
splinter in your mind driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you
to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: The Matrix?
Morpheus: Do you want to know what IT is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all
around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your
window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work,
when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been
pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage,
born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your
mind.... Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see
it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe
whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland,
and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.... Remember, all I'm offering
is the truth, nothing more.... Follow me.... Apoc, are we online?
Apoc: Almost.
Morpheus: Time is always against us. Please, take a seat there.
Neo: You did all this?
Trinity: Uh-huh.
Morpheus: The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's designed to disrupt
your input/output carrier signal so we can pinpoint your location.
Neo: What does that mean?
Cypher: It means buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye.
Neo: Did you...
Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real. What
if you were unable to wake from that dream. How would you know the difference
between the dream world and the real world?
Neo: This can't be...
Morpheus: Be what? Be real?
Trinity: It's going into replication.
Morpheus: Apoc?
Apoc: Still nothing.
Neo: It's cold. It's cold.
Morpheus: Tank, we're going to need a signal soon.
Trinity: We've got fibrillation.
Morpheus: Apoc, location.
Apoc: Targeting almost there.
Trinity: It's going into arrest.
Apoc: Lock, I've got him.
Morpheus: Now, Tank. Now.
Nebuchadnezzar
Morpheus: Welcome
to the real world. We've done it, Trinity. We've found him.
Trinity: I hope you're right.
Morpheus: I don't have to hope. I know it.
Neo: Am I dead?
Morpheus: Far from it.
Dozer: He still needs a lot of work.
Neo: What are you doing.
Morpheus: Your muscles have atrophied, we're rebuilding them.
Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?
Morpheus: You've never used them before. Rest, Neo. The answers are coming.
Neo: Morpheus, what's happened to me? What is this place?
Morpheus: More important than what is when.
Neo: When?
Morpheus: You believe it's the year 1999 when in fact it's closer to 2199. I
can't tell you exactly what year it is because we honestly don't know.
There's nothing I can say that will explain it for you, Neo. Come with me. See
for yourself. This is my ship, the Nebuchadnezzar. It's a hovercraft.
This is the main deck. This is the core where we broadcast our pirate signal
and hack into the Matrix. Most of my crew you already know. This is
Apoc, Switch, and Cypher.
Cypher: Hi.
Morpheus: The one's you don't know, Tank and his big brother, Dozer. The little
one behind you is Mouse. You wanted to know what the Matrix is
Neo? Trinity.... Try to relax. This will feel a weird.
Construct
Morpheus: This is
the construct. It's our loading program. We can load anything from clothing,
to equipment, weapons, training simulations, anything we need.
Neo: Right now we're inside a computer program?
Morpheus: Is it really so hard to believe? Your clothes are different. The plugs
in your arms and head are gone. Your hair is changed. Your appearance now is
what we call residual self image. It is the mental projection of your digital
self.
Neo: This...this isn't real?
Morpheus: What is real. How do you define real? If you’re talking about what
you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply
electrical signals interpreted by your brain. This is the world that you know.
The world as it was at the end of the twentieth century. It exists now only
as part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix. You've been
living in a dream world, Neo. This is the world as it exists today.... Welcome
to the Desert of the Real. We have only bits and pieces of information but what
we know for certain is that at some point in the early twenty-first century
all of mankind was united in celebration. We marveled at our own magnificence
as we gave birth to AI.
Neo: AI? You mean artificial intelligence?
Morpheus: A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines.
We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we know that it was us that
scorched the sky. At the t ime they were dependent on solar power and it was
believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant
as the sun. Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to
survive. Fate it seems is not without a sense of irony. The human body generates
more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTU's of body heat.
Combined with a form of fusion the machines have found all the energy they would
ever need. There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer
born, we are grown. For the longest time I wouldn't believe it, and then I saw
the fields with my own eyes. Watch them liquefy the dead so they could be fed
intravenously to the living. And standing there, facing the pure horrifying
precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. What is the Matrix?
Control. The Matrix is a computer generated dream world built to keep us under
control in order to change a human being into this.
Neo: No. I don't believe it. It's not possible.
Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.
Neo: Stop. Let me out. Let me out. I want out.
Nebuchadnezzar
Trinity: Easy, Neo.
Easy.
Neo: Take this thing off me. Take this thing...
Morpheus: Listen to me...
Neo: Don't touch me. Stay away from me. I don't want it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
Cypher: He's gonna pop.
Morpheus: Breathe, Neo. Just breathe.
Neo: I can't go back, can I?
Morpheus: No. But if you could, would you really want to? I feel I owe you an
apology. We have a rule. We never free a mind once it's reached a
certain age. It's dangerous, the mind has trouble letting go. I've seen it before
and I'm sorry. I did what I did because...I had to. When the Matrix was first
built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he
wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of
us, taught us the truth. As long as the Matrix exists the human race will never
be free. After he died the Oracle prophesied his return and that his coming
would hail the destruction of the Matrix and the war, bring freedom to our people.
That is why there are those of us who have spent our entire lives searching
the Matrix looking for him. I did what I did because I believe that search is
over.... Get some rest, you're going to need it.
Neo: For what?
Morpheus: Your training.
Tank: Morning, did you sleep? You will tonight, I guarantee it. I'm Tank, I'll
be your operator.
Neo: You don't...you don't have any...
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.
A genuine child of Zion.
Neo: Zion?
Tank: If the war was over tomorrow, Zion is 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. Live long
enough you might even see it. God-damn, I...I got to tell you, I'm fairly excited
to see what you're capable of, if Morpheus is right and all...I'm not supposed
to talk about this, but if you are...a very exciting time.
Tank: We got a lot
to do. We got to get to it.... Now, we're supposed to start with these operation
programs first, that's a major boring shit. Let's do something more fun. How
about combat training.
Neo: Jujitsu? I'm going to learn Jujitsu?... Holy shit.
Tank: Hey Mikey, I think he likes it. How about some more?
Neo: Hell yes. Hell yeah.
Morpheus: How is
he?
Tank: Ten hours straight. He's a machine.
Neo: I know Kung
Fu.
Morpheus: Show me.
Construct
Morpheus: 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.
Nebuchadnezzar
Mouse: Morpheus is fighting Neo.
Construct
Morpheus: How did
I beat you?
Neo: Your 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.
Nebuchadnezzar
Mouse: Jesus Christ, he's fast. Take a look at his neural-kinetics, they're way above normal.
Construct
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.
Nebuchadnezzar
Mouse: I don't believe it.
Construct
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.
Morpheus: Tank, load the jump program....
Morpheus: You have
to let it all go, Neo, fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.
Neo: Whoa. Okie dokie. Free my mind.
Nebuchadnezzar
Mouse: So what if
he makes it?
Apoc: No one's ever made the first jump.
Mouse: I know, I know. But what if he does?
Apoc: He won't.
Trinity: Come on.
Construct
Neo: All right, no problem. Free my mind. Free my mind. No problem, right. Huuuuuaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .....
Nebuchadnezzar
Mouse: Wha...what
does that mean?
Switch: It doesn't mean anything.
Cypher: Everybody falls the first time. Right, Trin?
Nebuchadnezzar
Neo: I thought it
wasn't real.
Morpheus: Your mind makes it real.
Neo: If you're killed in the Matrix, you die here?
Morpheus: Your body cannot live without the mind.
Cypher: I don't
remember you bringing me dinner. There is something about him, isn't there?
Trinity: Don't tell me you're a believer now?
Cypher: I just keep wondering, if Morpheus is so sure, why doesn't he take him
to see the Oracle?
Trinity: Morpheus will take him when he's ready.
Construct
Morpheus: The Matrix
is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look
around. What do you see. Business men,
teachers, lawyers, carpenters. 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 inert, 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?
Neo: I was...
Morpheus: Look again. Freeze it.
Neo: This...this isn't the Matrix?
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 are 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.
Nebuchadnezzar
Tank: We've got trouble.
Morpheus: Did Zion
send word?
Dozer: No, another ship. Shit. Squiddies. We've been in crick.
Neo: Squiddy?
Trinity: A sentinel. A killing machine designed for one thing.
Dozer: Search and destroy.
Morpheus: Set her down right over there.... How're we doing, Tank?
Tank: Power off line. EMP armed and ready.
Neo: EMP?
Trinity: Electromagnetic pulse. Disables any electrical system in the blast
radius. It's the only weapon we have against the machines.
Neo: Where are we?
Trinity: There old service and waste systems.
Neo: Sewers?
Trinity: They used to be cities that spanned hundreds of miles. Now these sewers
are all that's left of them.
Morpheus: Quiet.
Cypher: Whoa, Neo.
You scared the bejeezus out of me.
Neo: Sorry.
Cypher: It's okay.
Neo: Is that...
Cypher: The Matrix? Yeah.
Neo: Do you always look at it encoded?
Cypher: Well you have to. The image translators work for the construct program.
But there's way too much information to decode the Matrix. You
get used to it. I...I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette,
red-head. Hey, you a... want a drink?
Neo: Sure
Cypher: You know, I know what you're thinking, because right now I'm thinking
the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here. Why,
oh why didn't I take the blue pill?... Good shit, huh. Dozer makes it. It's
good for two things, degreasing engines and killing brain cells. So, can I ask
you something? Did he tell you why he did it, why you're here? Jesus. What a
mind job. So you're here to save the world. What do you say to something like
that? A little piece of advice. You see an agent, you do what we do. Run. Run
your ass off.
Neo: Thanks for the drink.
Cypher: Sweet dreams.
Restaurant
Agent Smith: Do
we have a deal, Mr. Reagan.
Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it
in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious.
After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.
Agent Smith: Then we have a deal?
Cypher: I don't want to remember nothing. Nothing. You understand? And I want
to be rich. You know, someone important, like an actor.
Agent Smith: Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.
Cypher: Okay. I get my body back into a power plant, you insert me into the
Matrix, I'll get you what you want.
Agent Smith: Access codes to the Zion mainframe.
Cypher: No, I told you, I don't know them. I can get you the man who does.
Agent Smith: Morpheus.
Nebuchadnezzar
Tank: Here you go,
buddy. Breakfast of champions.
Mouse: If you close your eyes it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs.
Apoc: Yeah, or a bowl of snot
Mouse: Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat
Tasty Wheat?
Switch: No, but technically, neither did you.
Mouse: That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder now. How
did the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like. huh?. Maybe they got it
wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal
or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken
for example, maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like,
which is why chicken tastes like everything.
Maybe couldn't figure out...
Apoc: Shut up, Mouse.
Dozer: It's a single cell protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins,
and minerals. Everything the body needs.
Mouse: It doesn't have everything the body needs. So I understand that you've
run through the agent training program. You know, I wrote that
program.
Apoc: Here it comes.
Mouse: So what did you think of her?
Neo: Of who?
Mouse: The woman in the red dress? I designed her. She, um...well she doesn't
talk very much, but...but if you'd like to meet her, I can arrange a much more
personalized meeting.
Switch: Digital pimp, hard at work.
Mouse: Pay no attention to these hypocrites, Neo. To deny our own impulses is

Morpheus: Dozer, when you're done, bring the ship up to broadcast depth. Wer'e
going in. Taking Neo to see her.
Neo: See who?
Tank: The Oracle....
Tank: Everyone
please observe the fasten seat belt and no smoking signs have been turned on.
Sit back and enjoy your ride.

Morpheus: We're in.... We'll be back in an hour.

Morpheus:
Unbelievable,
isn't it.
Neo: God.
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?
Trinity: That the Matrix cannot tell you who you are.
Neo: And the Oracle can?
Trinity: That's different.
Neo: Did you go to her?
Trinity: Yes.
Neo: What did she tell you?
Trinity: She told me...
Neo: What?
Morpheus: We're here. Neo, come with me.
Apartment Building
Neo: So is this
the same Oracle that made the prophecy?
Morpheus: Yes. She's very old. She's been with us since the beginning.
Neo: The beginning...?
Morpheus: Of the resistance.
Neo: And she knows what, everything?
Morpheus: She would say she knows enough.
Neo: And she's never wrong.
Morpheus: Try not to think of it in terms of right and wrong. She is a guide.
She can help you to find the path.
Neo: She helped you?
Morpheus: Yes.
Neo: What did she tell you?
Morpheus: That I would find the one....
Morpheus: I told
you I can only show you the door. You have to walk through it.
Oracle's plac
Priestess: Hello, Neo. You're right on time.... Make yourself at home, Morpheus. Neo, come with me....
Priestess: 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'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
Priestess: The Oracle will see you now.
Oracle: I know you're
Neo. Be right with you.
Neo: You're the Oracle?
Oracle: Bingo. Not quite what you were expecting, right? Almost done. Smell
good, don't they?
Neo: Yeah.
Oracle: I'd ask you to sit down, but your not going to anyway. And don't worry
about the vase.
Neo: What vase?
Oracle: That vase.
Neo: I'm sorry.
Oracle: I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
Neo: How did you know?
Oracle: What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still
have broken it if I hadn't said anything. You're cuter than I thought. I guess
it why she likes you.
Neo: Who?
Oracle: Not too bright, though. You know why Morpheus brought you to see me?
Neo: I think so.
Oracle: Do you think you are the one?
Neo: Honestly I don't know.
Oracle: You know what that means? It's Latin. Means `Know thyself'. 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 your in love, you just know it. Through and through. Balls
to bones. Well, I better have a look at you. Open your mouth, say
Ahhh.
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 y ou 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 sav e 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.

said was for you and for you alone.

Trinity: What did you just say?
Neo: Nothing, I just had a little deja vu.
Trinity: What did you see?
Cypher: What happened?
Neo: A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it.
Trinity: How much like it, was it the same cat?
Neo: Might have been, I'm not sure.
Morpheus: Switch, Apoc.
Neo: What is it?
Trinity: Deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change
something.
Nebuchadnezzar
Tank: Oh my God.

to dream about you. You're a beautiful woman, Trinity. Too bad things had to
turn out this way.
Trinity: You killed them.
Apoc: What?
Switch: Oh God.
Cypher: I'm tired, Trinity. I tired of this war. I'm tired of fighting. I'm
tired of this ship, being cold, eating the same God-damn goop everyday. But
most of all, I'm tired of that jack-off and all of his bullshit.
Surprise ass-hole. I bet you never saw this coming, did you? 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.
Trinity: You gave him 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's 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.

Switch: No.

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 God-damn
thing. By the way, if you have anything terribly important to say to switch,
I suggest you say it now.
Trinity: No, please don't.

Cypher: Too late.
Trinity: God-damn you, Cypher.
Cypher: Don't hate me,
Trinity. I'm just the messenger, and right now I'm going to 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. If you bought into Morpheus' bullshit -- come
on -- all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big
pretty eyes. Tell me. Yes or no.
Trinity: Yes.
Cypher: No.I don't believe it.

Office
Agent Smith: Have
you ever stood and stared at it, marveled at it's beauty, it's genius? Billions
of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first
Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world. Where none suffered. Where
everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program.
Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language
to describe your perfect world. But I believe that as a species, human beings
define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world would dream
that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix
was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization
because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization
which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution, like
the dinosaur.
Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus.
The future is our time.
Agent Brown: There could be a problem.
Nebuchadnezzar
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, they 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.
Nebuchadnezzar
Tank: Morpheus,
you're more than a leader to us. You're our 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: Sorry, I'm not. I'm just another guy.
Trinity: No, Neo. That's not true. It can't be true.
Neo: Why?
Tank: Neo, this is loco. 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. But 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?
Trinity: I 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 were 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, I believe you can go to hell. Because you aren't
going anywhere else. Tank, load us up.
Office
Agent Smith: I'd
like to share a revelation during my time here. It came to me when I tried to
classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal
on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding
environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and
multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive
is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you
know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.
You are a plague, and we are the cure.

you need, besides a miracle?

Agent Smith: Can you hear me, Morpheus? I'm going to be honest with you. I hate this place, this zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink. And every time I do I feel I have somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive, isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free and in this mind is the key, my key. Once Zion is destroyed there is no need for me to be here, don't you understand? I need the codes. I have to get inside Zion, and you have to tell me how. You're going to tell me or you're going to die.
