- 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 are here. 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 is something wrong in the world. you don't know what it is, but it is 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...
