Agent Smith: The great Morpheus. We meet at last. Morpheus: And you are.

Agent Smith: Smith. Agent Smith.

Morpheus: You all look the same to me.

Agent Smith: Take him.

(Nebuchadnezzar) Tank: No.

(Phone)

Tank: Operator.

Cypher: Yeah, I need an exit fast. Tank: Cypher?

Cypher: Yeah, there was an accident. God-damn car accident. All of a sudden, boom. Somebody up there still likes me. Tank: Gotcha.

Cypher: Get me out of here fast.

Tank: Intersection of Franklin and Erie, an old TV repair shop. Cypher: Right.

(Cellular)

Trinity: Tank, it's me. Neo: Is Morpheus alive?

Cypher: Is Morpheus alive, Tank?

Tank: They're moving him. I don't know where to yet. Trinity: He's alive. We need an exit. Tank: You're not far from Cypher. Trinity: Cypher?

Tank: I know. He's at Franklin and Erie. Trinity: Got it.

(Nebuchadnezzar) Tank: Got him.

Cypher: Where are they. Tank: Making the call. Cypher: Good.

(Repair shop)

Trinity: You first, Neo.

(Nebuchadnezzar) Cypher: Shoot.

Dozer: No.

(Repair shop)

Neo: I don't know, it just went dead.

(Cellular)

Cypher: Hello, Trinity.

Trinity: Cypher? Where's Tank?

Cypher: You know, for a long time, I thought I was in love with you. I used to dream about you. You're a beautiful woman, Trinity. Too bad things had to turn out this way. Trinity: You killed them. Apoc: What? Switch: Oh God.

Cypher: I'm tired, Trinity. I tired of this war. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of this ship, being cold, eating the same God-damn goop everyday. But most of all, I'm tired of that jack-off and all of his bullshit. Surprise ass-hole. I bet you never saw this coming, did you? God, I wish I could be there, when they break you. I wish I could walk in just when it happens. So right then, you'd know it was me.

Trinity: You gave him Morpheus.

Cypher: He lied to us, Trinity. He tricked us. If you'da told us the truth, we woulda told you to shove that red pill right up your ass.

Trinity: That's not true, Cypher, he set us free.

Cypher: Free? You call this free? All I do is what he tells me to do. If I had to choose between that and the Matrix, I choose the Matrix. Trinity: The Matrix isn't real.

Cypher: I disagree, Trinity. I think the Matrix can be more real than this world. All I do is pull the plug here. But there, you have to watch Apoc die.

(Repair shop) Apoc: Trinity. Switch: No.

(Cellular)

Cypher: Welcome to the real world, huh baby. Trinity: But you're out, Cypher. You can't go back.

Cypher: Oh no. That's what you think. They're going to 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 shop)

Switch: Not like this. Not like this.

(Cellular)

Cypher: Too late.

Trinity: God-damn you, Cypher.

Cypher: Don't hate me, Trinity. I'm just the messenger, and right now I'm going to prove it to you. If Morpheus was right, then there's no way I can pull this plug. I mean if Neo's the one, then there'd have to be some kind of a miracle to stop me. Right? I mean how can he be the one if he's dead? You never did answer me before. If you bought into Morpheus' bullshit -- come on -- all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big pretty eyes. Tell me. Yes or no. Trinity: Yes. Cypher: No.

(Nebuchadnezzar)

Cypher: I don't believe it.

Tank: Believe it or not, you piece of shit. You're still gonna burn.

(Repair shop) Neo: You first.

(Nebuchadnezzar) Trinity: You're hurt. Tank: I'll be 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 co

des 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?
