- 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?
- Because 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’re here because you know something.
- What you know, you can’t explain.
- But you feel it. You felt it your entire life.
- Something’s 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, 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.
- 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. Follow me.
