The Matrix: The Movie Special Page #4

against the machines.

-Where are we?

-Their old service and waste systems.

Sewers.

There used to be cities

that spanned hundreds of miles.

Now these sewers are

all that's left.

Quiet.

You scared the bejesus out of me.

-Sorry.

-It's okay.

-ls that...?

-The Matrix?

-Do you always look at it encoded?

-Well, you have to.

The image translators work

for the construct program.

But there's way too much information

to decode the Matrix.

You get used to it.

I don't even see the code.

All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.

Do you...

...want a drink?

Sure.

You know...

...I know what you're thinking.

Because right now I'm thinking

the same thing.

Actually, I've been thinking it

ever since I got here.

Why, oh, why didn't I take

the blue pill?

Good sh*t, huh?

Dozer makes it.

It's good for two things:

Degreasing engines and

killing brain cells.

So can I ask you something?

Did he tell you why he did it?

Why you're here?

Jesus!

What a mind job.

So you're here to save the world.

What do you say

to something like that?

A little piece of advice.

You see an agent...

...you do what we do:

Run.

You run your ass off.

Thanks for the drink.

Sweet dreams.

Do we have a deal, Mr. Reagan?

You know...

...I know this steak doesn't exist.

I know that when I put it

in my mouth...

...the Matrix is telling my brain

that it is...

...juicy...

...and delicious.

After nine years...

...you know what I realize?

Ignorance is bliss.

Then we have a deal.

I don't want to remember nothing.

Nothing. You understand?

And I want to be rich.

You know, someone important.

Like an actor.

Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.

Okay.

You get my body

back in a power plant...

...reinsert me into the Matrix...

...I'll get you what you want.

Access codes to the Zion mainframe.

No. I told you, I don't know them.

I can get you the man who does.

Morpheus.

Here you go, buddy.

Breakfast of champions.

Close your eyes, it feels

like you're eating runny eggs.

Or a bowl of snot.

You know what it reminds me of?

Tastee Wheat. Did you

ever eat T astee Wheat?

No, but technically,

neither did you.

That's exactly my point. Exactly.

Because you have to wonder...

... how do the machines really know

what T astee Wheat tasted like?

Maybe they got it wrong.

Maybe what I think T astee Wheat

tasted like actually tasted like...

...oatmeal or tuna fish.

That makes you wonder.

T ake chicken, for example.

Maybe they didn't know

what to make it taste like...

...which is why it tastes

like everything.

-And maybe they--

-Shut up.

It's a single-celled protein...

...combined with synthetic aminos,

vitamins and minerals.

Everything the body needs.

It doesn't have everything

the body needs.

I understand you've run through

the agent training program.

You know, I wrote that program.

Here it comes.

-What did you think of her?

-Of who?

The woman in the red dress.

I designed her.

She doesn't talk very much...

...but if you'd like to meet her,

I can arrange a more personal milieu.

The digital pimp hard at work.

Pay no attention to

these hypocrites, Neo.

T o deny our own impulses...

...is to deny the very thing

that makes us human.

Dozer, when you're done...

...bring the ship up to broadcast depth.

We're going in.

I'm taking Neo to see her.

See who?

The Oracle.

Everyone, please observe...

...the "fasten seat belt"

and "no smoking" signs are on.

Sit back and enjoy your flight.

We're in.

We'll be back in an hour.

Unbelievable...

...isn't it?

-God!

-What?

I used to eat there.

Really good noodles.

I have these memories from my life.

None of them happened.

What does that mean?

That the Matrix cannot tell you

who you are.

But an oracle can?

That's different.

Did you go to her?

Yes.

What did she tell you?

She told me....

What?

We're here.

Come with me.

So is this the same oracle

that made...

...the prophecy?

Yes. She's very old. She's been

with us since the beginning.

-The beginning?

-Of the Resistance.

And she knows what? Everything?

She would say she knows enough.

And she's never wrong.

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.

She helped you?

What did she tell you?

That I would find the One.

I told you I can only

show you the door.

You have to walk through it.

Hello, Neo.

You're right on time.

Make yourself at home, Morpheus.

Neo, come with me.

These are the other Potentials.

You can wait here.

Do not try and bend the spoon.

That's impossible.

Instead, only try

to realize the truth.

What truth?

There is no spoon.

There is no spoon?

Then you'll see that it is not the spoon

that bends. It is only yourself.

The Oracle will you see now.

I know you're Neo.

Be right with you.

-You're the Oracle?

-Bingo.

Not quite what you

were expecting, right?

Almost done.

Smell good, don't they?

I'd ask you to sit down...

...but you're not going to anyway.

-And don't worry about the vase.

-What vase?

That vase.

I'm sorry.

I said, don't worry about it.

I'll get one of my kids to fix it.

How did you know?

What's really going to bake

your noodle later on is...

...would you still have broken it

if I hadn't said anything?

You're cuter than I thought.

I can see why she likes you.

Who?

Not too bright, though.

You know why Morpheus

brought you to see me.

So...

...what do you think?

Do you think you are the One?

I don't know.

You know what that means?

It's Latin.

Means, "Know thyself. "

I'll let you in on a little secret.

Being the One is just

like being in love.

No one can tell you you're in love.

You just know it...

...through and through.

Balls to bones.

Well...

...I'd better have a look at you.

Open your mouth. Say, "Ah. "

Okay....

Now I'm supposed to say,

"Hmm, that's interesting, but.... "

Then you say:

But what?

But you already know

what I'm going to tell you.

-I'm not the One.

-Sorry, kid.

You got the gift...

...but it looks like

you're waiting for something.

-What?

-Your next life, maybe. Who knows?

That's the way these things go.

-What's funny?

-Morpheus.

He almost had me convinced.

I know.

Poor Morpheus.

Without him, we're lost.

What do you mean, "without him"?

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.

-What?

-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.

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.
