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 forth or you choose to find
yourself another job.
Do I make
myself clear?
Yes, Mr.
Rhineheart.
Perfectly
clear.
---------
Hello?
Hello, Neo.
Do you know who this is?
- Morpheus.
- Yes.
I've been
looking for you.
I don't know
if you're ready to see
what I want
to show you.
But
unfortunately, you and l
have run out
of time.
They're
coming for you Neo, and I don't know
what they're
going to do.
Who's coming
for me?
Stand up and
see for yourself.
What? Right now?
Yes. Now.
Do it
slowly.
The
elevator.
- Oh, shit!
- Yes.
What the
hell do they want from me?
I don't know
but if you don't want
to find out,
get out of there.
How?
I can guide
you,
but you must
do exactly as I say.
- Okay.
- The
cubicle across from you is empty.
- But what
if they--
- 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.
- How do you
know this?
- We don't
have time.
To your left
there's a window.
Go to it.
Open it.
Take the
scaffold to the roof.
No way! No
way!
This is
crazy!
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.
This is
insane!
-------
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."
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 believe that I am wasting my time with you.
But I
believe you wish to do the right thing.
We're
willing to wipe the slate clean give you a fresh start.
All we're
asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice.
------------------
Mr. Anderson
you disappoint me.
You can't
scare me with this Gestapo crap.
I know my
rights.
I want my
phone call.
Tell me, Mr.
Anderson what good is a phone call if you're unable to speak?
-----------------
This is it.Let me give you one piece of advice.
Be honest.
He knows more than you can imagine.
At last.
Welcome, Neo.
As you no doubt have guessed I am Morpheus.
It's an honor to meet you.
No...the honor is mine.
Please, come. Sit.
I imagine that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole?
You could say that.
I can see it in your eyes.
You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he's expecting to wake up.
Ironically, this is not far from the truth.
Do you believe in fate, Neo?
No.
Why not?
I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
I know exactly what you mean.
Let me tell you why you're here.
You are here because you know something.
What you know, you can't explain.
But you feel it.
You felt it your entire life: That there is something wrong with the world.
You don't know what it is, but it's there.
Like a splinter in your mind driving you mad.
It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
The Matrix?
Do you want to know what it is?
The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us.
Even now, in this very room.
You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television.
You can feel it when you go to work when you go to church... when you pay your taxes.
It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
What truth?
That you are a slave. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch.
A prison for your mind.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself.
This is your last chance.
After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill the story ends, you wake up
in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep
the rabbit hole goes.
Remember all I'm offering is the truth.
Nothing more.
---------
Morpheus, what's happened to me?
What is this place?
More important than "what" is "when."
"When"?
You believe it's the year 1999 when in fact, it's closer to 2199.
I can't tell you exactly what year it is because we honestly don't know.
There's nothing I can say that will explain it for you.
Come with me.
See for yourself.
This is my ship.
The Nebuchadnezzar.
It's a hovercraft.
This is the main deck.
This is the core where we broadcast our pirate signal and hack into the Matrix.
Most of my crew you already know.
This is Apoc ... Switch ... and Cypher.
- Hi.
The ones you don't know:
Tank and his big brother, Dozer.
The little one behind you is Mouse.
You wanted to know what the Matrix is?
Trinity.
------------------
This ... . is the Construct.
It's our loading program.
We can load anything, from clothing ... to equipment ... weapons ... training simulations ... anything we need.
Right now we're inside a computer program?
Is it really so hard to believe?
Your clothes are different.
The plugs in your arms and head are gone.
Your hair has changed.
Your appearance now is what we call "residual self-image."
It is the mental projection of your digital self.
This isn't real?
What is "real"?
How do you define "real"?
If you're talking about what you can feel ... what you can smell, taste and see ... then "real" is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
This is the world that you know.
The world as it was at the end of the 20th century.
It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation ... that we call the Matrix.
You've been living in a dream world, Neo.
This is the world as it exists today.
Welcome to "the desert ... of the real."
We have only bits and pieces of information.
But what we know for certain is that at some point in the early 21st century all of mankind was united in celebration.
We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI.
Al. You mean artificial intelligence.
A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines.
We don't know who struck first, us or them.
But we know that it was us that scorched the sky.
At that time they were dependent on solar power and it was believed that
they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive.
Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
The human body generates more bioelectricity than a 120-voIt battery.
And over 25,000 BTUs of body heat.
Combined with a form of fusion... the machines had found all the energy
they would ever need.
There are fields, Neo, endless fields ... where human beings are no longer born.
We are grown.
For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it.
And then I saw the fields with my own eyes... watched them liquefy the dead so they could be fed intravenously to the living.
And standing there, facing the pure, horrifying precision I came to realize
the obviousness of the truth.
What is the Matrix?
Control.
The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world ... built to keep us under control ...
... in order to change a human being ... into this.
No.
I don't believe it.
It's not possible.
I didn't say it would be easy, Neo.
I just said it would be the truth.
Stop!
Let me out! Let me out! I want out!
