(Cellular) Cypher: Yeah.

Trinity: Is everything in place?

Cypher: You weren't supposed to relieve me. Trinity: I know, but I want to take your shift.

Cypher: You like watching him, don't you? You like watching him. Trinity: Don't be ridiculous.

Cypher: We're going to kill him, do 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.

(Hotel room)

Cop: Freeze, Police. Hands on your head. Do it. Do it now.

(Street)

Agent Smith: Lieutenant... Lieutenant: Oh shit.

Agent Smith: Lieutenant, you were given specific orders.

Lieutenant: Hey, I'm just doing my job. You give me juris- my diction crap, you can cram it up your ass.

Agent Smith: Your orders were for your protection.

Lieutenant: I think we can handle one little girl.... I sent two units. They're bringing her down now. Agent Smith: No Lieutenant, your men are already dead.

(Hotel room)

Trinity: 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.

(Rooftop)

Cop: That's impossible.

(Building)

Trinity: Get up Trinity. Just get up. Get up.

(Street)

Agent Brown: She got out. Agent Smith: It doesn't matter. Agent Jones: The informant is real. Agent Smith: Yes.

Agent Jones: We have the name of their next target. Agent Brown: The name is Neo.

Agent Smith: We'll need a search running. Agent Jones: It has already begun.

(Neo's apartment)

Neo: What? What the hell?... Follow the white rabbit?... Who is it? Choi: It's Choi.

Neo: Yeah. Yeah. You're two hours late. Choi: I know, it's her fault. Neo: Got the money? Choi: Two grand. Neo: Hold on.

Choi: Hallelujah. You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ. Neo: You get caught using that...

Choi: Yeah, I know. This never happened. You don't exist. Neo: Right.

Choi: Something wrong, man? You look a little whiter than usual.

Neo: My computer, it... You ever have that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or still dreaming?

Choi: Mm, all the time. It's called Mescaline. It's the only way to fly. Hey, it just sounds to me like you need to unplug, man. You know, get some R and R. What do you think, DuJour? Shall we take him with us? DuJour: Definitely.

Neo: I can't, I have work tomorrow.

DuJour: Come on, It'll be fun. I promise. Neo: Yeah, sure, I'll go.

(Club)

Trinity: Hello Neo.

Neo: How do you know that name? Trinity: I know a lot about you. Neo: Who are you?

Trinity: My name is Trinity.

Neo: Trinity. The Trinity? That cracked the IRS d-base? Trinity: That was a long time ago. Neo: Jesus. Trinity: What?

Neo: I just thought, um...you were a guy. Trinity: Most guys do.

Neo: It you on my computer. How did you do that?

Trinity: Right now all I can tell you is that you're in danger. I brought you here to warn you. Neo: Of what?

Trinity: They're watching you, Neo. Neo: Who is?

Trinity: Please just listen. I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing. I know why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night you sit at 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 that drives us mad. 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. It's looking for you. And it will find you, if you want it to.

(Neo's apartment)

Neo: Oh shit. Oh shit shit.

(Office)

Mr. Rhineheart: You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson. You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you. Obviously you are mistaken. This company is one of the top software companies in the world because every single employee understands that they are part of a whole. Thus if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem. The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Anderson. Either you choose to be at your desk on time from this day forward or you choose to find yourself another job. Do I make myself clear? Neo: Yes, Mr. Rhineheart, perfectly clear.

FedEx man: Thomas Anderson? Neo: Yeah, that's me.

FedEx man: Ok, great. Have a nice day.

Neo: Hello.

Morpheus: Hello Neo. Do you know who this is? Neo: Morpheus.

Morpheus: Yes. I've been looking for you, Neo. I don't know if you're ready to see what I want to show you, but unfortunately you and I have run out of time. They're coming for you, Neo, and I don't know what they're going to do. Neo: Who's coming for me?

Morpheus: Stand up and see for yourself. Neo: What, right now.

Morpheus: Yes, now. Do it slowly. The elevator. Neo: Oh shit. Morpheus: Yes.

Neo: What the hell do they want from me?

Morpheus: I don't know, but if you don't want to find out I suggest you get out of there. Neo: How?

Morpheus: I can guide you but you must do exactly as I say. Neo: Ok.

Morpheus: The cubicle across from you is empty. Neo: What if they...

Morpheus: Go, now...Stay here for just a moment. When I tell you, go to the end of the row, to the office at the end of the hall. Stay as low as you can.... Go, now.... Good. Now, outside there is a scaffold.

Neo: How do you know all this?

Morpheus: We don't have time, Neo. To your left there's a window. Go to it.... Open it. You can use the scaffold to get to the roof.

Neo: No way. No way. This is crazy.

Morpheus: There are two ways out of this building. One is that scaffold, the other is in their custody. You take a chance either way. I leave it to you.

Neo: This is insane. Why is this happening to me? What did I do? I'm nobody.... Shit.... I can't do this.

(Street)

Trinity: Shit.

(Interrogation)

Agent Smith: As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson. It seems that you've been living two lives. In one life, you're Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company, you have a social security number, you pay your taxes, and you help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias Neo and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not. I'm going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr. Anderson. You're here because we need your help. We know that you've been contacted by a certain individual, a man who calls himself Morpheus. Now whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant. He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive. My colleagues bel
