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 three objectives, three captains, three ships. I do not see coincidence, I see providence. I see purpose. I believe it 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.

Trinity: Touch me and that hand will never touch anything again.

Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice?
The: 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.

Merovingian: You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

[after first meeting with The Merovingian]
Neo: Well, that didn't go so well.
Morpheus: Are you Certain the Oracle didn't say anything else?
Neo: Yes.
Trinity: Maybe we did something wrong.
Neo: Or didn't do something.
Morpheus: No, what happened, happened and couldn't have happened any other way.
Neo: How do you know?
Morpheus: We are still alive.

- He gave you this.
- He said you set him free.
- Is everything all right, sir?
- The meeting is over.
- Retreat to your exits.

- Agents?
- Go.

Morpheus: This is a war and we are soldiers. Death can come for us at any time, in any place.
[Scene switch to the Vigilant under attack]
Morpheus: . Now consider the alternative. What if I am right? What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?

Agent: 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: Thank you.

- Christ! What the hell happened in here?
- Hold it right there, little lady.
- If you can't beat us....
- Join us.
- Morpheus!

The: The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race.
Neo: You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to survive.
The: There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.

- If one fails...
- ...all fail.
- At midnight, there is a shift change in the security of both buildings.
Morpheus: At midnight, we will strike.

- How much?
- An hour, maybe.

Morpheus: [Morpheus addresses the people of Zion] Zion, hear me! It is true, what many of you have heard. The machines have gathered an army and as I speak, that army is drawing nearer to our home.
[the Zion crowd becomes louder]
Morpheus: Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No, I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me. I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines. I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us, and after a century of war I remember that which matters most... We are still here! Today, let us send a message to that army. TOnight, let us shake this cave. Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth, steel, and stone, let us be heard from red core to black sky. Tonight, let us make them remember, THIS IS ZION AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!

Merovingian: Oh my god Persephone, how could you do this? You betrayed me. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de saloperie de couille de merde.
Persephone: Cause and Effect, my love.
Merovingian: Cause? There is no cause for this. What cause?
Persephone: What cause? How about the lipstick you're still wearing?
Merovingian: Lipstick? Lipstick? Heh, what craziness are you talking about woman? There is no lipstick.
[checks his face]

- I'm sorry.
Neo: Trinity.

- All right.
- But you have to make me believe
- I am her.
- All right.
- Terrible. Forget it.
- Wait.
- Okay.

- Good.
- The Oracle has many enemies.
- I had to be sure.
- Of what?
- That you are the One.
- You could have just asked.
- No. You do not truly know someone...
- ...until you fight them.
- Come. She's waiting.

[after watching Neo stop hundreds of bullets in the air]
Merovingian: Okay, you have some skill.

- Link, Morpheus is crazy.
- No doubt.
- But Tank and Dozer believed him.
- And I'll tell you what...
- ...after being on that ship and seeing Neo do the things he can do, I gotta say...
- ...I'm starting to believe him too.
- Be careful, Link.
- Please be careful.

- It was meant to be.
- Morpheus, that door will take you home.
- You will know which door.
- Hurry, Neo.
- Trinity, I got some serious activity headed your way.

- How can the prophecy be true if the war isn't over?
- I'm sorry.
- I know it isn't easy to hear, but...
- ...I swear to you it's the truth.
- What are we gonna do?
- I don't know.
- Oh, no!

Agent: But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.
[Several Agent Smith Clones walk in]
Agent: It is purpose that created us.
Agent: Purpose that connects us.
Agent: Purpose that pulls us.
Agent: That guides us.
Agent: That drives us.
Agent: It is purpose that defines us.
Agent: Purpose that binds us.
Agent: We are here because of you, Mr Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us.
[Attempts to copy himself into Neo]
Agent: Purpose.

- Trinity...
- ...don't you quit on me now.

- Okay, you have some skill.
- Kill him.

Neo: If I were you, I would hope we don't meet again.
The: We won't.

Neo: Why don't you tell me what's on your mind, Councillor?
Councillor: There is so much in this world that I do not understand. See that machine? It has something to do with recycling our water supply. I have absolutely no idea how it works. But I do understand the reason for it to work. I have absolutely no idea how you are able to do some of the things you do, but I believe there's a reason for that as well. I only hope we understand that reason before it's too late.

- Where are you going?
- Another way. Always another way.
- Close it, quick!
- Could we move along?
- Run!

- All right.
- What is it, 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?
- Then tomorrow we may all be dead.
- But how would that be different from any other day?

Merovingian: Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.

Bane: Oh God.
Agent: Smith will suffice.

The: Hello, Neo.
Neo: Who are you?
The: I am the Architect. I created the Matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.

- Hiya, fellas.
- AGENT 1: It's him.
- The anomaly.
- Do we proceed?
- Yes.
- He is still--
- Only human.
- Hm. Upgrades.

Neo: I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you?
The: 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 you on damned mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it.

Merovingian: Goddammit woman, you will be the end of me.

Neo: Why am I here?
The: Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
Neo: You haven't answered my question.
The: Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others.

- Operator.
- Link, it's Niobe.
- We've been sent to bring you in.
- I need to talk to Morpheus.
- Believe me, Niobe, he needs you.
- Where is he?
- Just follow the sirens.
- Repeat, they're approaching the--
- We have them now.
- The exile is the primary target.

- Tonight, let us shake this cave.
- Tonight, let us tremble these halls...
- ...of earth, steel and stone.
- Let us be heard from red core to black sky.
- Tonight, let us make them remember: This is Zion and we are not afraid!

- It's always brought me luck.
- Maybe it'll bring me you.
- I'm coming back.
- I promise. No matter what it takes,
- I'm coming home.
- Just keep it with you. Please.
- For me.
- Okay.

- I remember you used to dance.
- I remember you were pretty good.
- There are some things in this world,
- Captain Niobe...
- ...that will never change.
Lock's Lieutenant: Niobe!
- Some things do change.

- What's that, sir?
- To trust me.
- Yes, sir. I will, sir.
- I mean, I do, sir.
- I hope so.
- Repatch the main AC to the hard drives and stand by to broadcast.
- Yes, sir.

- Neo, if you're out there,
- I could use some help.
- What is that?

The: Do you see her die?
Neo: No.
The: 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: 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: No, you've already made the choice. Now you have to understand it.
Neo: No. I can't do that. I won't.
The: Well, you have to.
Neo: Why?
The: Because you're the One.

- Hello.
- You seek the Oracle.
- Who are you?
- I am Seraph. I can take you to her, but first I must apologize.
- Apologize for what?
- For this.

Neo: Choice, the problem is choice.

- What are we gonna do?
- We're gonna do what
- Commander Lock ordered.
- We'll evacuate broadcast level and return to Zion.
- And does the commander have a plan for stopping 250,000 sentinels?
- A strategy is still being formulated.
- I'm sure it is.

- It is purpose that defines.
- Purpose that binds us.
- We are here because of you,
- Mr. Anderson.
- We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us: Purpose.
- What's happening to him?
- Don't know.
- Yes, that's it. It'll be over soon.

- We must go.
- Seems like every time we meet
- I 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.

- Trinity...
- ...I know you can hear me.
- I'm not letting go.
- I can't.
- I love you too damn much.

The: As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly ninety-nine percent of the test subjects accepted the program provided they were given a choice - even if they were only aware of it at a near-unconscious level. While this solution worked, it was fundamentally flawed, creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that, if left unchecked, might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those who refused the program, while a minority, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
Neo: This is about Zion.

Link: Trinity, we're talking less then 5 minutes here.
Trinity: In five minutes, I'll tear that whole goddamn building down.

The: The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. It was a work of art. Flawless. Sublime. A triumph only equaled by its monumental failure.

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.

- What happened?
Link's Niece: I can't figure it out.
- Agents just came out of nowhere.
- Then the code got all weird.
- Encryption I've never seen.
- Is Neo okay?
- Okay? Shit, you should've seen him.
- Where is he now?
- He's doing his Superman thing.

- ...but the more I think about it, the more I think it's meant to be.
- You know, it's fate.
- You're the reason I'm here, Neo.
- I told you, you found me.
- I didn't find you.
- I know, but you got me out.
- You saved me.
- You saved yourself.

The: [to Neo] We are all here to do what we are all here to do...

- Goddamn it, woman, you will be the end of me.
- Mark my words, boy, and mark them well.
- I have survived your predecessors, and I will survive you.

- ...and let us give thanks for those that have been found...
- ...and who stand here beside us.
- Now I would like someone else to close this prayer...
- ...someone who hasn't spoken here in a long time...
- ...but who I believe has something to say that we all need to hear.
- I give you Morpheus.

- We're talking less than five minutes.
- In five minutes,
- I'll tear that building down.
- How much further?
- Here, just here.
- I'm sorry, this is a dead end.
- It's gotta be the ugliest hack
- I have ever done.
- That's as close as I can get you.
- You better grow wings.

- See you tomorrow.
- Oh, my God!
- I'm in.

- We're almost there.
- Sir, are you sure about this?
- I told you, we're going to be all right.
- I understand, sir. It's just that I'm scoping some serious sentinel activity up here.

Persephone: Where are you going?
Merovingian: Please, ma cherie. I have told you. We are all victims of causality. I drank too much wine, I must take a piss. Cause and effect.
