Neo見Oracle
Oracle知道Neo會做的任何選擇(坐或站、吃或不吃糖)。
推論：Oracle這個program具有分析人類大腦訊號並從中得知人類的思考模式的能力。
Neo:
You're not human, are you?
If I had to guess, I'd say you're a program from the machine world.
So is he (Seraph).
The Oracle:
So far, so good.
Neo:
But if that's true, that could mean you're part of this system...
...another kind of control.
The Oracle:
Keep going.
Neo:
I suppose the most obvious question is...
...how can I trust you?
The Oracle:
Bingo.
The Oracle描述Matrix裡的programs
Look. See those birds?
At some point, a program was written to govern them.
A program was written to watch over the trees and the wind, the sunrise and sunset.
There are programs running all over the place.
The ones doing their job, doing what they were meant to do, are invisible.
You'd never even know they were here.
But the other ones....
Well, you hear about them all the time.
Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost or an angel...
...every story you've ever heard about vampires, werewolves or aliens...
...is the system assimilating some program...
...that's doing something they're not supposed to be doing.
Usually a program chooses exile when it faces deletion.
(Neo:And why would a program be deleted?)
Maybe it breaks down.
Maybe a better program is created to replace it. Happens all the time.
And when it does, a program can either choose to hide here...
...or return to the source.
(Neo:The machine mainframer.)
Yes.
Where you must go.
Where the path of the One ends.
You've seen it...
...in your dreams, haven't you?
Our time is up. Listen to me, Neo.
You can save Zion...
...if you reach the source, but to do that
you need the Keymaker.
Morpheus: You know why we are here.
Merovingian: I am a trafficker of information.
I know everything I can.
The question is,
do you know why you are here?
Morpheus: We are looking for the Keymaker.
Merovingian: Oh, yes, it is true.
The Keymaker, of course.
But this is not a reason, this is not a why.
The Keymaker himself, his very nature, is a means, it is not an end.
And so to look for him is to be looking for a means to do...
...what?
Neo: You know the answer to that question.
Merovingian: But do you?
You think you do, but you do not.
You are here because you were sent here.
You were told to come here, and then you obeyed.
It is, of course, the way of all things.
You see, there is only one constant...
...one universal. It is the only real truth.
Causality.
Action, reaction.
Cause and effect.
Morpheus: Everything begins with choice.
Merovingian: No. Wrong.
Choice is an illusion created between those with power...
...and those without.
Agent Smith 談 Purpose
Agent Smith:
We're not here because we're free.
We're here because we are not free.
There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose.
Because as we both know, without purpose we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us. (這時候Agent Smith開始大量自我複製，接下來的每句話由不同的分身講出來)
Purpose that connects us.
Purpose that pulls us.
That guides us.
That drives us.
lt is purpose that defines.
Purpose that binds us.
We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson.
We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us:
Purpose.
Neo見The Architect
I created the Matrix.
I've been waiting for you.
You have many questions. Though the process has altered your consciousness...
...you remain irrevocably human.
Ergo, some of my answers you will understand and some you will not.
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent...
...you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
(Neo: Why am I here?)
Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation...
...inherent to the programming of the Matrix.
You are the eventuality of an anomaly,
which despite my sincerest efforts...
...l've been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise...
...a harmony of mathematical precision.
While it remains a burden assiduously avoided...
...it is not unexpected and thus not beyond a measure of control...
...which has led you, inexorably...
...here.
(Neo: You haven't answered my question.)
Quite right.
Interesting.
That was quicker than the others.
The Matrix is older than you know.
I count from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next.
In which case, this is the sixth version.
(Neo: Choice. The problem is choice.)
The first Matrix I designed was naturally perfect, a work of art.
Flawless, sublime.
A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure.
The inevitability of its doom is apparent now...
...as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human.
Thus, I redesigned it based on your history...
...to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature.
However, I was again frustrated by failure.
I have come to understand that the answer eluded me...
...because it required a lesser mind.
Or perhaps, a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection.
Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program...
...initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche.
If I am the father of the Matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
(Neo: The Oracle.)
Please.
As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby 99 percent of subjects...
...accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice...
...even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level.
While this answer functioned, it was fundamentally flawed...
...thus creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly...
...that, if left unchecked, might threaten the system.
Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if unchecked...
...would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
(Neo: This is about Zion.)
You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed.
Its every living inhabitant terminated,
its entire existence eradicated.
(Neo: Bullshit.)
Denial is the most predictable of all human responses.
But rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it...
...and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
The function of the One...
...is now to return to the source, allowing a dissemination of the code you carry...
...reinserting the prime program.
After which you will be required to select from the Matrix 23 individuals...
...sixteen female, seven male, to rebuild Zion.
Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash...
...killing everyone connected to the Matrix...
...which, coupled with the extermination of Zion...
...will result in the extinction of the entire human race.
(Neo: You won't let it happen. You can't. You need human beings to survive.)
There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.
The relevant issue is whether or not you are ready...
...to accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this world.
It is interesting reading your reactions.Your five predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication...
...a contingent affirmation that was meant
to create a profound attachment...
...to the rest of your species,
facilitating the function of the One.
While the others experience this in a general way...
...your experience is far more specific...
...vis-?vis love.
(Neo: Trinity!)
Apropos, she entered the Matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.
Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw...
...is ultimately expressed
and the anomaly revealed...
...as both beginning and end.
There are two doors.
The door to your right leads to the source and the salvation of Zion.
The door to your left leads back to the Matrix, to her and the end of your species.
As you adequately put, the problem is choice.
But we already know what you are going to do, don't we?
Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal...
...the onset of an emotion designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason.
An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple and obvious truth:
She is going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
(Neo走向左邊的門)
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously...
...the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.
