(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.

Freeze, Police. Hands on your head. Do it. Do it now.

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

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:
Goddammit.
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.

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

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.
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 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 youre
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 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. 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. All
right.
(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.

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 up to broadcast
depth. Wer'e going in. Taking Neo to see her.
Neo:
See who?
Tank:
The Oracle.... Everyone please observe the fasten seat
belt 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 students
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 otherwise. 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

Morpheus:
Let's go.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Tank:
They cut the hard line, it's a trap. Get out.
(Lafayette

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.

Morpheus:

fast.
Tank:
Got it.

Smith: Eighth floor.
Agent
Brown: Eighth floor.
Morpheus:

Morpheus:
Good.

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

Tank:
Gotcha.

Get me out of here fast.

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.

(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 watch Apoc die.
(Repair

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 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.
(Repair

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

Neo:
You first.
(Nebuchadnezzar)
Trinity:
You're hurt.
Tank:
I'll be all right.
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.

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.

you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this

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.
