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 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: Alright.
Morpheus: Go.
(Rooftop)
Cop: That's impossible.
(Building)
Trinity: Get up Trinity. Just get up. Get up.
(Street)
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?
Troy: It's Troy.
Neo: Yeah. Yeah. You're two hours late.
Troy: I know, it's her fault.
Neo: Got the money?
Troy: Two grand.
Neo: Hold on.
Troy: Hallelujah. You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ.
Neo: You get caught using that...
Troy: Yeah, I know. This never happened. You don't exist.
Neo: Right.
Troy: 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?
Troy: 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 was 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.
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.... 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 lose 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: A-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 seatbelt, 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 your 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 time they
were dependant 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 dependant 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 prophesized 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. 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. Tank,
load the jump program.... 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.
Mouse: Come on.
Trinity: Come on.
(Construct)
Neo: All right, no problem. Free my mind. Free my mind. Alright.
(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 ever 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
dependant 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. Squiddys. 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 offline. EMP armed and ready.
Neo: EMP?
Trinity: Electro-magnetic pulse. Disables any electrical system
in the blast radius. It's the only weapon we have against the
machines.
Neo: Where are we?
Trinity: Their 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 to deny the very thing that makes us human.
Morpheus: Dozer, when you're done, bring the ship us to broadcast
depth. Were going in. Taking Neo to see her.
Neo: See who?
Tank: The Oracle.... Everyone please observe the fasten seatbelt
and no smoking signs have been turned on. Sit back and enjoy
your ride.
(Lafayette Hotel)
Morpheus: We're in.... We'll be back in an hour.
(Car)
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.... I told you I can only
show you the door. You have to walk through it.
(Oracle's place)
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'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 expected. No wonder she likes you.
Neo: Who?
Oracle: Not too bright, though. You know why Morpheus brought
you to see me?
Neo: I think so.
Oracle: So, what do you think? You think you're the one?
Neo: 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 kiddo. 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 you want to hear this? Morpheus believes in
you, Neo. And no one, not you, not even me can convince him other
wise. He believes it so blindly that he's going to sacrifice his
life to save 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.
Morpheus: What was said was for you and for you alone.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: They're on their way.... What is that?
(Lafayette Hotel)
Neo: Whoa, deja vu.
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.
(Lafayette Hotel)
Morpheus: Let's go.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: They cut the hard line, it's a trap. Get out.
(Lafayette Hotel)
Mouse: Oh no. Oh no.
Cypher: That's what they changed. We're trapped. There's no way
out.
Morpheus: Be calm. Give me your phone.
Trinity: They'll be able to track it.
Morpheus: We have no choice.
(Cellular)
Tank: Operator.
Morpheus: Tank. Find a structural drawing of this building. Find
it fast.
Tank: Got it.
Morpheus: I need the main wet wall.
(Lafayette Hotel)
Agent Smith: Eighth floor.
Agent Brown: Eighth floor.
Morpheus: Switch, straight ahead.
Apoc: Neo. I hope the Oracle gave you some good news.
(Cellular)
Tank: Another left, that's it.
Morpheus: Good.
(Lafayette Hotel)
Agent Brown: Where are they?
Police: They're in the walls. They're in the walls.
Cypher: It's an agent.
Trinity: Morpheus.
Morpheus: You must get Neo out. He's all that matters.
Neo: No. No, Morpheus. Don't.
Morpheus: Trinity, go.
Trinity: Go.
Neo: We can't leave him.
Trinity: We have to.... Cypher, come on.
Agent Smith: The great Morpheus. We meet at last.
Morpheus: And you are.
Agent Smith: Smith. Agent Smith.
Morpheus: You all look the same to me.
Agent Smith: Take him.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: No.
(Phone)
Tank: Operator.
Cypher: Yeah, I need an exit fast.
Tank: Cypher?
Cypher: Yeah, there was an accident. God-damn car accident. All
of a sudden, boom. Somebody up there still likes me.
Tank: Gotcha.
Cypher: Get me out of here fast.
Tank: Intersection of Franklin and Erie, an old TV repair shop.
Cypher: Right.
(Cellular)
Trinity: Tank, it's me.
Neo: Is Morpheus alive?
Cypher: Is Morpheus alive, Tank?
Tank: They're moving him. I don't know where to yet.
Trinity: He's alive. We need an exit.
Tank: You're not far from Cypher.
Trinity: Cypher?
Tank: I know. He's at Franklin and Erie.
Trinity: Got it.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: Got him.
Cypher: Where are they.
Tank: Making the call.
Cypher: Good.
(Repair shop)
Trinity: You first, Neo.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Cypher: Shoot.
Dozer: No.
(Repair shop)
Neo: I don't know, it just went dead.
(Cellular)
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.
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 Apoc die.
(Repair shop)
Apoc: Trinity.
Switch: No.
(Cellular)
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 re-insert
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.
(Repair shop)
Switch: Not like this. Not like this.
(Cellular)
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.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Cypher: I don't believe it.
Tank: Believe it or not, you piece of shit. You're still gonna burn.
(Repair shop)
Neo: You first.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: You're hurt.
Tank: I'll be alright.
Trinity: Dozer?
(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.
(Office)
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.
(Cellular)
Tank: Okay. What do you need, besides a miracle?
Neo: Guns. Lots of guns.
(Construct)
Trinity: Neo, no one has ever done anything like this.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.
(Office)
Agent Smith: Why isn't this serum working?
Agent Brown: Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions.
Agent Smith: Leave me with him. Now.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: Hold on, Morpheus. They're coming for you. They're coming.
(Office)
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.
(Lobby)
Guard 1: Please remove any metallic items you're carrying, keys,
loose change. Holy shit.
Guard 2: Backup. Send backup.
Soldier: Freeze.
(Office)
Agent Brown: What were you doing?
Agent Jones: He doesn't know.
Agent Smith: Know what?
Agent Brown: I think they're trying to save you.
(Elevator)
Neo: There is no spoon.
(Office)
Agent Smith: Find them and destroy them.
(Rooftop)
Pilot: I repeat, we are under attack.
Neo: Trinity. Help.
Agent Brown: Only human.
Trinity: Dodge this.... How did you do that?
Neo: Do what?
Trinity: You moved like they do. I've never seen anyone move that fast.
Neo: Wasn't fast enough. Can you fly that thing?
Trinity: Not yet.
(Cellular)
Tank: Operator.
Trinity: Tank, I need a pilot program for a V-212 helicopter.
Hurry.... Let's go.
(Office)
Agent Smith: No.
(Helicopter)
Neo: Morpheus, get up. Get up, get up.... He's not going to make
it.... Gotcha.
(Rooftop)
Neo: Trinity.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: I knew it. He's the one.
(Rooftop)
Morpheus: Do you believe it now, Trinity?
Neo: Morpheus. The Oracle, she told me I'm...
Morpheus: She told you exactly what you needed to hear, that's
all. Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did,
there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
(Cellular)
Tank: Operator.
Morpheus: Tank.
Tank: God-damn. It's good to hear your voice, sir.
Morpheus: Need an exit.
Tank: Got one ready. Subway station, State and Balbo.
(Rooftop)
Agent Smith: Damn it.
Agent Brown: The trace was completed.
Agent Jones: We have their position.
Agent Brown: The sentinels are standing by.
Agent Jones: Order the strike.
Agent Smith: They're not out yet.
(Subway station)
Neo: You first, Morpheus.
Trinity: Neo, I want to tell you something, but I'm afraid of
what it could mean if I do. Everything the Oracle told me has
come true. Everything but this.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: Neo.
Tank: What just happened?
Trinity: An agent. You have to send me back.
Tank: I can't.
(Subway station)
Agent Smith: Mr. Anderson.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: Run, Neo. Run. What is he doing?
Morpheus: He's beginning to believe.
(Subway station)
Agent Smith: You're empty.
Neo: So are you.
Agent Smith: I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Anderson.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: Jesus, he's killing him.
(Subway station)
Agent Smith: Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of
inevitability. That is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
Neo: My name is Neo.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: What happened?
Tank: I don't know. I lost him. Oh shit.
Trinity: Sentinels. How long?
Morpheus: Five, maybe six minutes. Tank, charge the EMP.
Trinity: You can't use that until he's out.
Morpheus: I know, Trinity, don't worry. He's going to make it.
(Street)
Man: Shit, that's my phone. That's my best phone.
(Cellular)
Tank: That's unknown.
Neo: Mr. Wizard, get me the hell out of here.
Tank: Got a patch on an old exit, Wabash and Lake.
Neo: Oh shit.... Help. Need a little help.
Tank: Door.... Door on your left. No, you're other left.... Back door.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: Oh no.
Morpheus: Here they come.... He's going to make it.
(Cellular)
Tank: Fire escape at the end of the alley, room 303.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: They're inside.
Trinity: Hurry, Neo
Morpheus: Can't be.
(Hotel)
Agent Smith: Check him.
Agent Brown: He's gone.
Agent Smith: Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity: Neo, I'm not afraid anymore. The Oracle told me that
I would fall in love, and that man, the man who I loved would
be the one. And so you see, you can't be dead. You can't be,
because I love you. You hear me? I love you.... Now get up.
(Hotel)
The One: No.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank: How?
Morpheus: He is The One.
Trinity: Neo.
(Phone)
The One: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know
that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change.
I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this
is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin.
I'm going to hang up this phone and then I'm going to show these
people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a
world without you, a world without rules and controls, without
borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where
we go from there is a choice I leave to you.
