| Quotes from The Matrix Trilogy |
| The Matrix [Opening lines. Phone rings.] Cypher: Yeah? Trinity: Is everything in place? Cypher: You weren't supposed to relieve me. Trinity: I know, but I felt like taking a shift. Cypher: You like him, don't you? You like watching him. Trinity: Don't be ridiculous. Cypher: We're gonna kill him. 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. On a building: Trinity: Get up, Trinity. Just get up. Get up. Trinity: Hello Neo. Neo: How do you know that name? Trinity: I know a lot about you. Neo: Who are you? Trinity: My name's Trinity. Neo: *The* Trinity? Who cracked the IRS d-base? Trinity: That was a long time ago. Neo: Jesus... Trinity: What? Neo: I just thought... you were a guy. Trinity: Most guys do. Trinity: I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by 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, Neo. It's the question that drives us. 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, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to. Agent Smith: We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice. Neo: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger [He does.] Neo: ...and you give me my phone call. Neo: 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 have spent my entire life looking for you. 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. Morpheus: You've been living in a dream world, Neo. Morpheus: The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Morpheus: 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. Morpheus: You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Morpheus: 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. Morpheus: What is "real"? How do you define "real"? Morpheus: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain Morpheus: Welcome to the desert of the real. Morpheus: Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. 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: The body cannot live without the mind Neo: Why do my eyes hurt? Morpheus: You've never used them before. Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it. Morpheus: 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! Morpheus: How did I beat you? Neo: You... you're too fast. Morpheus: Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think that's air you're breathing now? Morpheus: You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind. Neo: Okey dokey.. free my mind. Right, no problem, free my mind, free my mind, no problem, right... 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. 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: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? 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! In the 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. In the 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, Neo. 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. 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. Oracle: I'd ask you to sit down, but, you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about the vase. Neo: What vase? [Neo turns to look for a vase, and as he does, he knocks over a vase of flowers, which shatters on the floor.] 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: Ohh, what's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything? Oracle: You're cuter than I thought. I can see why she likes you. Neo: Who? Oracle: Not too bright, though. Oracle: 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. Agent Smith: The great Morpheus. We meet at last. Morpheus: And you are? Agent Smith: A Smith. Agent Smith. Morpheus: You all look the same to me. Cell phone: 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 G.-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 them Morpheus. Cypher: He lied to us, Trinity. He tricked us. If you'd have told us the truth, we would've 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 got 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 could be more real than this world. All I do is pull the plug here. But there, you have to watch Apoc die. Cell phone: Cypher: Too late. Trinity: G.-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. On the Nebuchadnezzar: Cypher: I don't believe it. Tank: Believe it or not, you piece of shit. You're still gonna burn. 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 we 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'm 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. Tank: So what do you need? Besides a miracle. Neo: Guns. Lots of guns. On some roof: 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. 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. Neo: But what? On the Nebuchadnezzar: Trinity: Neo. Tank: What the hell just happened? Trinity: An agent. You have to send me back. Tank: I can't. On the Nebuchadnezzar: Trinity: Run, Neo. Run! What is he doing? Morpheus: He's beginning to believe. 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. 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. The door on your left. No, your other left. Back door. Trinity: [Neo was just killed by Agent Smith] Neo, I'm not afraid anymore. The Oracle told me that I would fall in love and that that man...the man that I loved would be the one. So you see, you can't be dead. You can't be...because I love you. You hear me? I love you. [Kisses him, he revives] Now get up. Neo: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... 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 how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then 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 or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you. The Matrix Reloaded Trinity: Still can't sleep? You wanna talk? Neo: They're just dreams. Trinity: If you're afraid of something,... Neo: I just wish... I wish I knew what I'm supposed to do. That's all. I just wish I knew. Trinity: She's gonna call. Don't worry. Trinity: Is Neo okay? Link: Okay? Shit, Morpheus, you should have seen him. Morpheus: Where is he now? Link: [checks computer] He's doin' his superman thing. Kid: Neo! Neo: Oh, no. Trinity: How does he always know? Neo: Doesn't he have anything better to do? Trinity: You know what they say about the life you save. Neo: I didn't save his life. Kid: Hiya, Neo! Trinity, Link. It's great to have you back! Neo: Thanks. It's good to be back. Kid: Can I carry that for you, Neo? Neo: No, I can carry my own bag. Kid: Trinity? Trinity: I'm fine. Link: You can carry these. Kid: Yeah, sure, Link. Hey, you know, next year I'm old enough to join a crew. I've been thinking a lot about it and I've made my decision. Link: Let me guess. Kid: I want to join the Nebuchadnezzar. I know Morpheus hasn't filled the other crew positions except for you, Link. I'm sure he has his reasons, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's meant to be. You know, it's fate. I mean, you're the reason I'm here, Neo. Neo: I told you, Kid, you found me, I didn't find you. Kid: I know, but you got me out! You saved me! Neo: You saved yourself. Commander Lock: Not everyone believes what you do Morpheus. Morpheus: My beliefs do not require them to. Trinity: They need you. Neo: I need you. Niobe: I remember. I remember you used to dance. I remember you were pretty good. Morpheus: There are some things in this world, captain Niobe, that will never change. Lock: Niobe! Morpheus: Some things do change. Neo: [kisses Trinity] I missed you. Trinity: I can tell. Trinity: Neo, what is it? What's wrong? It's okay, you can tell me. Neo: Trinity... Trinity: Don't be afraid. Neo: I can't lose you. Trinity: [takes his hand] You're not gonna lose me. You feel this? I'm never letting go. Zee: I want you to wear it. Link: You know I don't believe in this stuff. Zee: But I do. It's always brought me luck. Maybe it'll bring me you. Link: I'm coming back. I promise. No matter what it takes, I'm coming home. Zee: Just keep it with you, please? For me. Link: Okay. Trinity: Be careful. Neo: Hello. Seraph: You seek the Oracle. Neo: Who are you? Seraph: I am Seraph. I can take you to her. But first, I must apologize. Neo: Apologize for what? Seraph: For this. Seraph: The Oracle has many enemies, I had to be sure. Neo: Of what? Seraph: That you were The One. Neo: You could've just asked. The Oracle: Well, come on. I ain't gonna bite ya. Come around here, and let me have a look at ya. My goodness, look at you! You turned out all right, didn't you? How do you feel? Neo: I, uh... The Oracle: I know you're not sleeping. We'll get to that. Why don't you come and have a sit this time? Neo: Maybe I'll stand. The Oracle: Well, suit yourself. Neo: I felt like sitting. The Oracle: I know. So. Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. Neo: You're not human, are you? The Oracle: Well it's tough to get any more obvious than that. Neo: If I had to guess, I'd say you're a program from the machine world. So is he. The Oracle: So far, so good. Neo: But if that's true, that can mean you are a part of this system, another kind of control. The Oracle: Keep going. Neo: I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you? The Oracle: Bingo! It is a pickle, no doubt about it. The bad news is there's no way if you can really know whether I'm here to help you or not. So it's really up to you. You just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it. Candy? Neo: D'you already know if I'm going to take it? The Oracle: Wouldn't be much of an Oracle if I didn't. Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice? The Oracle: Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. I thought you'd have figured that out by now. Neo: Why are you here? The Oracle: Same reason. I love candy. Neo: But why help us? The Oracle: We're all here to do what we're all here to do. I'm interested in one thing, Neo, the future. And believe me, I know - the only way to get there is together. Neo: Are there other programs like you? The Oracle: Oh, well, not like me. But... Look, see those birds? At some point a program was written to govern them. A program was written to watch over the trees, and the wind, the sunrise, and sunset. There are programs running all over the place. The ones doing their job, doing what they were meant to do, are invisible. You'd never even know they were here. But the other ones, well, we hear about them all the time. Neo: I've never heard of them. The Oracle: Of course you have. Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel. Every story you've ever heard about vampires, werewolves, or aliens is the system assimilating some program that's doing something they're not supposed to be doing. Neo: Programs hacking programs. Why? The Oracle: They have their reasons, but usually a program chooses exile when it faces deletion. Neo: And why would a program be deleted? The Oracle: Maybe it breaks down. Maybe a better program is created to replace it - happens all the time, and when it does, a program can either choose to hide here, or return to The Source. Neo: The machine mainframe? The Oracle: Yes. Where you must go. Where the path of The One ends. You've seen it, in your dreams, haven't you? The door made of light? Neo: [nods] The Oracle: What happens when you go through the door? Neo: I see Trinity, and something happens, something bad. She starts to fall, and then I wake up. The Oracle: Do you see her die? Neo: No. The Oracle: You have the sight now, Neo. You are looking at the world without time. Neo: Then why can't I see what happens to her? The Oracle: We can never see past the choices we don't understand. Neo: Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies? The Oracle: No. You've already made the choice, now you have to understand it. Neo: No, I can't do that. I won't. The Oracle: You have to. Neo: Why? The Oracle: Because you're The One. Neo: What if I can't? What happens if I fail? The Oracle: Then Zion will fall. Our time is up. Listen to me, Neo. You can save Zion if you reach The Source, but to do that you will need the Keymaker. Neo: The Keymaker? The Oracle: Yes, he disappeared some time ago. We did not know what happened to him until now. He's being held prisoner by a very dangerous program, one of the oldest of us. He is called the Merovingian, and he will not let him go willingly. Neo: What does he want? The Oracle: What do all men with power want? More power. The Oracle: Be there, at that exact time, and you will have a chance. Seraph: We must go. The Oracle: Seems like every time we meet I've got nothing but bad news. I'm sorry about that, I surely am. But for what it's worth, you've made a believer out of me. Good luck, kiddo. Agent Smith: I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die.... with a certain satisfaction, I might add. Then something happened. something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. After that, I understood the rules, I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I've changed. I'm unplugged. A new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently, free. Neo: Congratulations. Agent Smith: Thank you. Smiths: It is inevitable. Trinity: Come on, get out of there. Neo: He's found a way to copy himself. Morpheus: So now their more of him? Neo: Lots more. Link: How's that possible? Neo: I don't know - somehow he's found a way to copy himself. Morpheus: Is that what he was doing to you? Neo: I don't know what he was doing, but I know what it felt like. Trinity: What? Neo: Felt like I was back in that hallway. Felt like dying. Morpheus: What can you see, Neo? Neo: It's strange, the code is somehow different. Trinity: Is that good for us or bad for us? Neo: Well, it looks like every floor is wired with explosives. Trinity: Bad for us. Merovingian: Aha, here he is at last. Neo, the One himself, right? And the legendary Morpheus. And Trinity of course, si belle qu'elle me fait souffrir. [Trans: so beautiful she makes me suffer.] I have heard so much, you honor me. Please, sit, join us. This is my wife, Persephone. Something to eat? Drink? Hmm... of course, such things are contrivances like so much here. For the sake of appearances. Neo: No, thank you. Merovingian: Yes, of course, who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time? Château Haut-Brion 1959, magnificent wine, I love French wine, like I love the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite - fantastic language, especially to curse with. Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère! [Trans: Name of God of whore of brothel of shit of filth of jerk of fucking your mother up the ass.] You see, it's like wiping your arse with silk, I love it. Trinity: Touch me and that hand will never touch anything again. Persephone: If you want the Keymaker, follow me. [to man in washroom] Get out! I'm so sick of his bullshit. On and on, pompous prick. A long time ago, when we first came here, it was so different. He was so different. He was like you. I'll give you what you want. But you have to give me something. Neo: What? Persephone: A kiss. Trinity: Excuse me? Persephone: I want you to kiss me as if you were kissing her. Neo: Why? Persephone: You love her. She loves you. It's all over you both. A long time ago, I knew what that felt like. I want to remember it. I want to sample it. That's all, just a sample. Trinity: Why don't you sample this instead? [pulls gun] Morpheus: Trinity. [Twins disappear through floor] Trinity: That's a neat trick. Trinity: You always told me to stay off the freeway. Morpheus: Yes, that's true. Trinity: You said it was suicide. Morpheus: Then let us hope that I was wrong. Twin #1: We are getting aggravated. Twin #2: Yes, we are. Keymaker: There's a building. Inside this building there's a level where no elevator can go, and no stair can reach. This level is filled with doors. These doors lead to many places, hidden places, but one door is special. One door leads to the Source. This building is protected by a very secure system. Every alarm triggers the bomb. Vector: Bomb? Did he say bomb? Keymaker: But like all systems it has a weakness. The system is based on the rules of a building. One system built on another. Morpheus: Electricity. Keymaker: If one fails, so must the other. Niobe: No electricity, no alarms. Ghost: But you'd have to take out a whole city block to kill the power to a building like that. Keymaker: Not one, 27. Vector: 27 blocks? Keymaker: There is a power station. it must be destroyed. Niobe: There must be some kind of failsafe. Keymaker: Yes, there is an emergency system. The core network of the grid must be accessed. The emergency system must be deactivated. Soren: Then what do you need us for? Neo could take 'em both out easier than we could. Keymaker: There's no time. Niobe: Why? Keymaker: Once the door is unprotected, the connection will be severed. But another connection must first be made. Ghost: How long will that take? Keymaker: Exactly 314 seconds. Soren: Just over 5 minutes. Keymaker: That is the length and breadth of the window. Only The One can open the door, and only during that window can the door be opened. Niobe: How do you know all this? Keymaker: I know because I must know. It's my purpose. It's the reason I'm here. Same reason we're all here. Trinity: Neo, I know something's wrong. You don't have to tell me. I just want you to know that I'm here. Keymaker: All must be done as one. If one fails, all fail. Morpheus: All of our lives we have fought this war. Tonight I believe we can end it. Tonight is not an accident. There are no accidents. We have not come here by chance. I do not believe in chance when I see 3 objectives, 3 captains, 3 ships. I do not see coincidence, I see providence, I see purpose. I believe it is our fate to be here. It is our destiny. I believe this night holds for each and every one of us the very meaning of our lives. Neo: I want to ask you to do something, but I don't know how. Trinity: I promise you, if I can, I will. Neo: What if I asked you to stay out of this, no matter what. To stay out of the matrix? Trinity: Why? Neo: Please. Trinity: All right. Morpheus: What is it, Niobe? Niobe: I can't help it, Morpheus, I can't help thinking - what if you're wrong. What if all this - the prophecy, everything - is bullshit. Morpheus: Then tomorrow we may all be dead, but how would that be different from any other day? This is a war, and we are soldiers. Death can come for us at any time, in any place. Morpheus: I believe it is our fate to be here. It is our destiny. I believe this night holds, for each and every one of us, the very meaning of our lives. This is a war and we are soldiers. What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for? Trinity: Find the others. Link: Got Niobe right there, they're already out of the station. Trinity: What about Soren? Link: There, they're still inside, but... Trinity: They're not moving. Trinity: Call Neo now. Link: Lost them. They're inside the portal. Trinity: What about the grid? Link: Everything's still operational. Emergency system's already rerouting power. Jesus. As soon as they open that door, it's all over. Trinity: The hell it is. Link: What are you... Trinity? Trinity: I will not stand here and do nothing. I will not wait here to watch them die. Link: Trinity, we're talking less then 5 minutes here. Trinity: In 5 minutes, I'll tear that whole G.-damn building down. Agent Smith: I want everything. Morpheus: Would that include a bullet from this gun? Architect: There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept the responsibility of the death of every human being on this world. It is interesting, reading your reactions. Your 5 predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication - a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the One. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific - vis a vis love. Neo: Trinity. Architect: Apropos, she entered the Matrix to save your life, at the cost of her own. Neo: No. Architect: Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the Source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to your left leads back to the Matrix, to her and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you are going to do, don't we? Already, I can see the chain reaction - the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason - an emotion that is already blinding you from the simple and obvious truth. She is going to die, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Architect: Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. Neo: If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again. Architect: We won't. Morpheus: What is that? Link: Whatever it is, it's moving faster than anything I've ever seen. Link: Holy Shit, he caught her! Trinity: Neo, I had to. Neo: I know. The bullet is still inside. [takes bullet out] Morpheus: Trinity, don't you quit on me now. Trinity: I'm sorry. Neo: Trinity. Trinity, I know you can hear me. I'm not letting go. I can't. I love you too damn much. [revives Trinity] Link: I can't take this. Trinity: I guess that makes us even. ] Morpheus: I have dreamed a dream, but now that dream is gone from me. The Matrix Revolutions TRINITY: Do you know what happened to Neo? ORACLE: Yes. He's trapped in a place between this world and the machine world. The link is controlled by a program called the Trainman. He uses it to smuggle programs in and out of the Matrix. If he finds out where Neo is before you get to him, then I'm afraid our choices are going to become difficult. TRINITY: Why? ORACLE: Because of who the Trainman works for. MORPHEUS: The Merovingian. Morpheus: After everything that's happened, how can you expect me to believe you? Oracle: I don't. I expect just what I've always expected. For you to make up your own damn mind. Sati: Good morning. Neo: Who are you? Sati: My name is Sati. Your name is Neo. My papa says you're not supposed to be here. He says you must be lost. Are you lost, Neo? Neo: One way or another I'm getting on this train. TRAINMAN: Oh, no, no, no. You're gonna stay right here until the Merovingian says different. If I know him, you're gonna be here for a long, long time. NEO: I don't want to hurt you. TRAINMAN: You don't get it. I built this place. Down here I make the rules. Down here I make the threats. Down here, I'm God. SERAPH: There are no weapons allowed in the club. At the bottom of this elevator, there is a coat check girl. And if we're lucky, one man for checking guns. TRINITY: And if we're unlucky? SERAPH: There will be many men. MEROVINGIAN:: The prodigal child returns. L'ange sans ailes [The angel without wings]. Are you here for the bounty, Seraph? Tell me, how many bullets are there in those guns? I don't know, but I don't think you have enough. MORPHEUS: We want to make a deal. MEROVINGIAN:: Always straight to business, huh, Morpheus? Okay. I have something you want. To make a deal, you must have something I want, yes? And it so happens there is something I want. Something I've wanted ever since I first came here. It is said they cannot be taken, they can only be given. MORPHEUS: What? MEROVINGIAN:: The eyes of the Oracle. I have told you before, there's no escaping the nature of the universe. It is that nature that has again brought you to me. Where some see coincidence, I see consequence. Where others see chance, I see cost. Bring me the eyes of the Oracle, and I will give you back your saviour. That seems a particularly fair and reasonable deal to me. Yes, no? Trinity: I don't have time for this shit. [puts gun to Merovingian's head] Trinity: How's this for a deal? You give me Neo, or we all die, right here, right now. MEROVINGIAN:: Interesting deal. You are really ready to die for this man? TRINITY: [releases safety on her gun] Believe it. PERSEPHONE: She'll do it. If she has to, she'll kill every one of us. She's in love. MEROVINGIAN:: It is remarkable how similar the pattern of love is to the pattern of insanity. Trinity: Time's up. What's it gonna be, Merv? ORACLE: I told you before. No one can see beyond a choice they don't understand, and I mean no one. NEO: Tell me how I separated my mind from my body without jacking in. Tell me how I stopped four sentinels by thinking it. Tell me just what the hell is happening to me. ORACLE: The power of the One extends beyond this world. It reaches from here all the way back to where it came from. NEO: Where? ORACLE: The Source. That's what you felt when you touched those Sentinels. But you weren't ready for it. You should be dead, but apparently you weren't ready for that, either. NEO: The Architect told me that if I didn't return to the Source, Zion would be destroyed by midnight tonight. ORACLE: Please... You and I may not be able to see beyond our own choices, but that man can't see past any choices. ORACLE: Everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death. And you are all that stands in his way. NEO: Smith. ORACLE: Very soon he's going to have the power to destroy this world, but I believe he won't stop there; he can't. He won't stop until there's nothing left at all. NEO: What is he? ORACLE: He is you. Your opposite, your negative, the result of the equation trying to balance itself out. NEO: What if I can't stop him? ORACLE: One way or another, Neo, this war is going to end. Tonight, the future of both worlds will be in your hands... or in his. Mifune: How old are you kid? Kid: Eighteen sir. Mifune: You shoulda said sixteen, I would've believed that. Kid: Okay... I'm sixteen sir. Mifune: The required age is eighteen! You're too young! Kid: Sir... the machines don't care how old I am. Mifune: Well ain't that the damn truth. KID: Give me a chance, sir. I won't let you down. MIFUNE: You do... you'll find me and the machines have something in common. ZEE: They've called for volunteers to hold the dock. CAS: I know how you feel, Zee, but you can't do that. ZEE: I have to. AS: Why? ZEE: Because I love him. I love him the same as he loves me. And if I were out there and he were here, I know what he'd do. CAS: But you're gonna get yourself killed. It's crazy, Zee. ZEE: Maybe it is. But ask yourself, if it were Dozer, and you knew the only chance you had to see him again was to hold the dock, what would you do? CAS: Make shells. Morpheus: You've never believed in The One. Niobe: I still don't. I believe in him. NEO: Trinity... There's something I have to say. Something you need to understand. I know I'm supposed to go. But beyond that - I don't know... TRINITY: I know. You don't think you're coming back. I knew it the moment you said you had to leave. I could see it in your face. Just like you knew the moment you looked at me that I was coming with you. NEO: I'm scared, Trin. TRINITY: So am I. Took me ten minutes to buckle up one boot. But I'll tell you something. Six hours ago I told the Merovingian that I was ready to give anything and everything for you. Do you know what's changed in the past 6 hours? NEO: No. TRINITY: Nothing. Trinity: If you tell me we'll make it I'll believe you. Neo: We'll make it. We have to. Bane: I should've known he'd sent his bitch first. Trinity: Bane?! Bane: No one ever got away from me as many times as you did. Every single time I thought it was the last. Every time I was sure we had you, but somehow you'd slip through our fingers. I really can't express just how aggravating that can be.Bane: Somehow familiar, isn't it?. We've been here before, you and I. Remember? I d o. I think of nothing else. Neo: Who are you?Bane: Still don't recognize me? I admit, it is difficult to think, encased in this rotting piece of meat. The stink of it filling every breath, a suffocating cloud you can't escape. (spits blood) Disgusting! Look at how pathetically fragile it is. Nothing this weak is meant to survive. Bane: Yes... That's it, Mr. Anderson. Look past the flesh, look through the soft gelatin of these dull cow eyes and see your enemy. Neo: No. Bane: Oh yes, Mr. Anderson. Neo: It can't be. Bane: There's nowhere I can't go, there's nowhere I won't find you. Neo: It's impossible. Bane: Not impossible. Inevitable. Roland: Holy Christ! I didn?t know this ship could do that! Goddamn woman, you can drive. Niobe: Ah shit, she's got a fat ass. MIFUNE: All right, this is it. Now, you all know me, so I'll just say this as simple as I can. If it's our time to die, it's our time. All I ask is: if we have to give these bastards our lives, we give 'em hell before we do! Technician: Commander, I have incoming! Lock: We have a dock full of incoming! LOCK: Three captains, one ship. I assume the other ships were lost under equally pointless circumstances? NIOBE: Good to see you too, Jason. Neo: It's unbelievable, Trin. Lights everywhere. Like the whole thing was built with light. I wish you could see what I see. Neo: Trin? Trinity? Trinity?! Trinity: I'm here. Meo: Where? Trinty: Here. Neo: We made it, Trin. [Trinity lies on the floor and is dying, she has seconds to live because she was hurt by machines] Trinity: you have to save Zion! Neo: I can´t! not without you. Trinity: yes, you can. You will. I believe in you. I always have. Trinity: Do you remember... on that roof after you caught me... the last thing I said to you?Neo: You said: "I'm sorry."Trinity: That was my last thought. I wished I had one more chance, to say what really mattered, to say how much I loved you, how grateful I was for every moment I was with you. But by the time I knew how to say what I wanted to, it was too late. But you brought me back. You gave me my wish. One more chance to say what I really wanted to say... Kiss me, once more. Kiss me. NEO: I only ask to say what I've come to say, after that, do what you want and I won't try to stop you. DEUS EX MACHINA: Speak. NEO: The program 'Smith' has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through this city as he spread through the Matrix. You cannot stop him, but I can. DEUS EX MACHINA: We don't need you. We need nothing. NEO: If that's true, then I've made a mistake and you should kill me now. DEUS EX MACHINA: What do you want? NEO: Peace. Agent Smith: Mr. Anderson! Welcome back, we missed you. [Agent Smith pauses and looks around at the multitude of clones he has created.] Agent Smith: Like what I've done with the place? Neo: It ends tonight. Agent Smith: I know it does, I've seen it. That's why the rest of me is just going to enjoy the show because we already know that I'm the one that beats you. SMITH/ORACLE: Can you feel it, Mr. Anderson, closing in on you? Well, I can. I really should thank you for it, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. The purpose of life is to end. SMITH/ORACLE: Why, Mr. Anderson, why? Why, why do you do it? Why, why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something, for more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is, do you even know? Is it freedom or truth, perhaps peace - could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself. Although, only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now! You can't win, it's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist? NEO: Because I choose to [about the good luck charm] Zee: You wore it! Link: Are you kidding? I'll never take it off! SATI: Oracle! We were afraid we might not find you. ORACLE: Everything's okay now. SATI: Look, look! ORACLE: Just look at that! Beautiful! Did you do that? SATI: For Neo. ORACLE: That's nice. I know he'd love it. SATI: Will we ever see him again? ORACLE: I suspect so. Someday. SERAPH: Did you always know? ORACLE: Oh no. No, I didn't. But I believed. I believed. |
