The script of the Matrix

This is as close to the script of the Matrix as I can get, many thanks to Absolute Keanu Reeves for parts of the script. Remember, the best way to actually know what's going on and to see the awesome visual effects, you have to watch the movie!!!


NOTE:*Whenever you see something like this, it's a note from me. When you see something like this, it's what's happening.

(The screen of a computer. While the people are talking as below (it sounds like it's on a phone), a trace program is running, getting a phone number.)
*You don't know at first who's talking, but just for the sake of it I'll tell you who is.
Cypher: Yeah.
Trinity: Is everything in place?
Cypher: You weren't supposed to relieve me.
Trinity: I know, but I felt like taking your shift.
C: You like him, don't you? You like watching him.
T: Don't be ridiculous.
C: We're going to kill him, do you understand that?
T: Morpheus believes he is the One.
C: Do you?
T: It doesn't matter what I believe.
C: You don't, do you? (a "chirp" sound from the trace program)
T: Did you hear that?
C: Hear what?
T: Are you sure this line is clean?
C: Yeah, of course I'm sure.
T: I better go. (The trace is completed, and a phone number is on the screen. the camera zooms into the zero in the phone number until all is black, then a light appears, which turns into the light of a flashlight. A policeman is holding the flashlight, and there are policemen in a building in front of a hotel room. (room number is 303) A policeman walks in front of the door and kicks it down. We see a bare room with a desk at the other end. On the desk is a laptop. In front of the laptop is a woman. *This woman, as you will find out, is Trinity.)
Cop: Freeze! Police! Hands on your head! Do it! Do it now!
(camera goes face Trinity. She slowly puts her hands by her head, still looking at the computer screen.)

(camera goes outside. You see the hotel name-"Heart O' The City Hotel". There are police cars outside. a car pulls up, and three agents walk out.)
Agent Smith: Lieutenant... *Agent Smith always speaks slowly and takes his time, as you can see IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE......
Lieutenant: (muttering)Oh shit.
Agent Smith: Lieutenant, you were given specific orders.
Lieutenant: Hey, I'm just doing my job. You give me that juris-my-diction crap, you can cram it up your ass.
AS: Your orders were for your protection.
L: I think we can handle one little girl. (Agents give him a look, then walk away.) I sent two units! They're bringing her down now!
AS: (looks back)No, Lieutenant, your men are already dead.

(back to the room. A policeman goes over, about to put the handcuffs on Trinity. *I can't really describe this part, but I can tell you that Trinity can really kick some policeman ass. Trinity stands, after killing all the policemen, looking around the room.)
Trinity: Shit. (Talking on her cell phone)
Morpheus, the line was traced, I don't know how.
Morpheus: I know, they cut the hard line. There's no time, you're going to have to get to another exit.
Trinity: Are there any agents?
Morpheus: Yes.
Trinity: God-dammit.
Morpheus: You have to focus, Trinity. There's a phone at Wells and Lake. You can make it.
Trinity: All right.
Morpheus: Go. *This next part is also hard to describe. It's Trinity running away from the agents. Again, if you want to see what really happens, GO WATCH THE MOVIE.

(Trinity running away from the agents. (really?) She runs around a corner, and sees a public phone. A truck screeches, and turns around, heading for the phone. The phone rings. Trinity dashes over, answers the phone just as the truck rams it down and then backs away from the now-rubble. An agent steps out of the truck. Two more agents appear out of somewhere.)
Agent Brown: She got out.
Agent Smith: It doesn't matter.
Agent Jones: The informant is real.
AS: Yes.
AJ: We have the name of their next target.
AB: The name is Neo.
AS: We'll need a search running.
AJ: It has already begun.
