Favorite Matrix Quotes  

"Freeze! Police! Hands on your head! Do it! Do it now!" -Policeman ordering Trinity
(I don't know why I like this, I just think it's funny how the policeman says it.)

"No, Lieutenant. Your men are already dead." -Agent Smith

"Hallelujah. You're my Savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ." -Choi talking to Neo

"You ever have that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or still dreaming?" -Neo

"Hey, it just sounds to me like you need to unplug, man. You know, get some R&R?" -Choi
(Could the R and R possibly be Reloaded and Revolutions?)

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

"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." -Trinity

"It's the question that drives us, Neo." -Trinity

"What is the Matrix?" -Neo

"The answer is out there, Neo. It's looking for you...and it will find you, if you want it to." -Trinity

"You have a problem with authority, Mr Anderson. You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you." -Mr. Rhineheart (Neo's boss)

"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." -Mr. Rhineheart (Neo's boss)

"This is insane. Why is this happenening to me? What'd I do? I'm nobody. I'm gonna die." -Neo
(foreshadow anyone?)

"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." -Agent Smith interrogating Neo
(I love the way he says garbage.)

"How about I give you the finger... and you give me my phone call?" -Neo

"Listen to me, Coppertop. We don't have time for 20 questions. Right there's only one rule: our way or the highway." -Switch

Neo: "It's an honor to meet you."
Morpheus: "No, the honor is mine."

"...I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life." -Neo in response to why he doesn't believe in fate

"You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life....that there's 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." -Morpheus

"That you are a slave, Neo. 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." -Morpheus

"Unfortunately no one can be told what the matrix is...you have to see it for yourself." -Morpheus

"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." -Morpheus

"It means buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye." -Cypher

"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to awake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world, and the real world?" -Morpheus

"Welcome to the real world." -Morpheus listen

Neo: "Am I dead?"
Morpheus: "Far from it."

Neo: "Why do my eyes hurt?"
Morpheus: "You've never used them before."
(just a little symbolism?)

"What is real? How do you define real? If your talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." -Morpheus

"You've been living in a dream world, Neo." -Morpheus

"Welcome to the desert of the real." -Morpheus

"Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony." -Morpheus

"There are fields, Neo, endless fields...where we are no longer born. We are grown." -Morpheus

"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." (he holds up a battery) -Morpheus

"I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth." -Morpheus

"He's gonna pop." -Cypher

"When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of us, taught us the truth. As long as the Matrix exists the human race will never be free. After he died the Oracle prophesied his return, and that his coming would hail the destruction of the Matrix, end the war, bring freedom to our people." -Morpheus
(Not really that exciting, but that prophecy is very important and interesting storyline-wise)

"Jujistu? I'm going to learn Jujistu?" -Neo

"Hey Mikey, I think he likes it!" -Tank

"Ten hours straight, he's a machine." -Tank
(very interesting to refer to Neo as a machine...)

"I know Kung Fu." -Neo

"Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? You think that's air you're breathing now?" -Morpheus

"Don't think you are...know you are." -Morpheus

"Come on! Stop trying to hit me and hit me." -Morpheus

"I can only show you the door, you're the one that has to walk through it." -Morpheus

"Free your mind." -Morpheus

"Whoa." -Neo

Neo: "If you're killed in the Matrix, you die here?"
Morpheus: "The body cannot live without the mind."

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, when you look around, what do you see? Businessman, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it ...were you looking at me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?"
Neo: "I was--"
Morpheus: "Look again." *Agent Smith!*

Neo: "What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?"
Morpheus: "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to."

"You get used to it. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead." -Cypher

"Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?" -Cypher

"What a mind job. So you're here to save the world...what do you say to something like that? Little piece of advice, you see an agent, you do what we do. Run. You run your [butt] off." -Cypher

"After nine years you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss." -Cypher

"And I wanna be rich, you know someone important....like an actor." -Cypher

Mouse: "If you close your eyes it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs."
Apoc: "Yeah, or a bowl of snot."

"Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tastee Wheat. Did you ever eat Tastee Wheat?"
Switch: "No, but technically neither did you."
Mouse: "That's exactly my point. Exactly! Because you have to wonder now...now how did the machines really know what Tastee Wheat tasted like, huh? Maybe they got it wrong...maybe what I think Tastee Wheat tasted like actually tasted like--uh...oatmeal or--uh--or tunafish. It makes you wonder about a lot of things really, you take chicken for example maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like which is why chicken tastes like everything."

"Everything the body needs." -Dozer

"To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human." -Mouse
(I disagree with the quote...but it's interesting regardless)

"Everyone please observe the 'fasten seat belt' and 'no smoking' signs are on. Sit back and enjoy your flight." -Tank

"We're in." -Morpheus

"God...I used to eat there. Really good noodles." -Neo

Spoon boy: "Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth."
Neo: "What truth?"
Spoon boy: "There is no spoon."
Neo: "There is no spoon?"
Spoon boy: "Then you'll see it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."

Oracle: "I'd ask you to sit down, but you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about the vase."
Neo: "What vase?" *Neo accidentally knocks over the vase and breaks it*
Oracle: "That vase."
Neo: "I'm sorry."
Oracle: "I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my kids to fix it."
Neo: "How did you know?"
Oracle: "Oh...what's really going to bake your noodle later on is... would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?"

Oracle: "You're cuter than I thought. I can see why she likes you."
Neo: "Who?"
Oracle: "Not too bright though."

"I'm gonna 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." -Oracle

"A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something." -Trinity
(I remember this quote every time I have déjà vu.)

Agent Smith: "The great Morpheus. We meet at last."
Morpheus: "And you are?"
Agent Smith: "A Smith. Agent Smith."
Morpheus: "You all look the same to me."
(foreshadow to Reloaded)

"If you had told us the truth, we would've told you to shove that red pill right up your [butt]!" -Cypher

Cypher: "'Free.' You call this 'free'? All I do is what he tells me to do. If I got 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."
(Very significant storyline-wise and can cause many discussions...)

"Welcome to the real world, huh baby?" -Cypher
(mocking Morpheus earlier)

"Not like this. Not like this." -Switch
(her last words)

"Believe it not, you piece of [crap], you're still gonna burn." -Tank

"Have you ever stood and stared at it? Marveled at its beauty...its genius? Billions of people just living out their lives...oblivious. *pause* 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 except 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. So the perfect world was a 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. Now 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 Smith

"Never send a human to do a machine's job." -Agent Smith

"Morpheus, you were more than a leader to us, you were a father. We'll miss you always." -Tank

Neo: "What are you doing?"
Trinity: "Going with you."
Neo: "No you're not."
Trinity: "'No?' Let me tell you what I believe. I believe Morpheus means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you are really serious about saving him you are going to need my help. And since I am the ranking officer on this ship, if you don't like it, I believe you can go to [heck]. Because you aren't going anywhere else."

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equillibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply...and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease. A cancer of this planet. You are a plague. And we...are the cure." -Agent Smith
('It's the smell' cracks me up every time! And there is some good discussionable stuff there. (Yes, that's a word because I say so.))

"Guns. Lots of Guns." -Neo

Trinity: "Neo, no one has ever done anything like this."
Neo: "That's why it's going to work."

"Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions." -Agent Brown
(I actually hate this quote. The way he says it just...bothers me. And yet, it somehow found it's way on the favorite quotes page. Hmmm.)

"Can you hear me Morpheus? I'm going to be honest...with you. I hate this place, this zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell. If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink. And everytime I do I fear that I have somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive. Isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free. And in this mind is the key. My key. Once Zion is destroyed there is no need for me to be here. Do you understand? I need the codes. I have to get inside Zion and you have to tell me how. You're going to tell me you're going to die." -Agent Smith

Security Guard: "Would you please remove any metallic items you're carrying. Keys, loose change..."
*Neos opens coat to reveal his plethora of guns*
Security Guard: "Holy [crap!]"

"Know what?" -Agent Smith
(He says it so funny! :D)

"Find them and destroy them." -Agent Smith

"Only human." -Agent Jones

"Dodge this." -Trinity

"No." -Agent Smith right before his window is shot out.
(Teehee)

"Morpheus get up. Get up. Get up." -Neo

"NAaaaaAAAAHHHHH!!" -Morphues ripping his cuffs off.
(I just love the expression on his face.)

"Gotchya." -Neo catching Morpheus "Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, there's a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path." -Morpheus

"Mr. Anderson..." -Agent Smith
(Classic.)

Trinity: "Run, Neo. Run." *looks at Morpheus* "What is he doing?"
Morpheus: "He's beginning to believe."

"Jesus, he's killing him." -Trinity
(Symbolic of how he parallels to Christ...)

Agent Smith: "You hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of you're death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson."
Neo: "My name...is Neo."

"Mr. Wizard! Get me the [heck] out of here!" -Neo

"Oh....goodbye, Mr. Anderson." -Agent Smith after Neo dies

"Neo, I'm not afraid anymore. The oracle told me that I would fall in love, and that that man...the man that I loved would be the One. So you see, you can't be dead. You can't be...because I love you. You hear me? I love you." *kiss* *Neo comes back* "Now get up." -Trinity reviving Neo

"No." -Neo talking to the bullets as they stop in front of him

"He is the One." -Morpheus

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone. And then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world...without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world, where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you." -Neo
(Da-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh, Da-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh...nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh....)
