(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

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:
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.
(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?
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.
