Plot: Six months after the events depicted in The Matrix, Neo has proved to be a good omen for the free humans, as more and more humans are being freed from the matrix and brought to Zion, the one and only stronghold of the Resistance. Neo himself has discovered his superpowers including super speed, ability to see the codes of the things inside the matrix, and a certain degree of precognition. But a nasty piece of news hits the human resistance: 250,000 machine sentinels are digging to Zion and would reach them in 72 hours. As Zion prepares for the ultimate war, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are advised by the Oracle to find the Keymaker who would help them reach the Source. Meanwhile Neo's recurrent dreams depicting Trinity's death have got him worried and as if it was not enough, Agent Smith has somehow escaped deletion, has become more powerful than before and has chosen Neo as his next target.

Quotes:

Neo: What happens if I fail?::The Oracle: Then Zion will fall.

Agent Thompson: You.::Agent Smith: Yes, me.::[turns Thompson into another Smith]::Agent Smith: Me... me... me...::Agent Smith Clone: Me too.

Zee: I lost two brothers to that ship, Link. Afraid of it. Afraid it's gonna take you too.::Link: It won't.::Zee: How can you say that to me?::Link: Because of Morpheus, because of what he's told me. He said that this is it. That it will be over soon.::Zee: Link, Morpheus is crazy.::Link: No doubt, but Tank and Dozer believed him, and I'll tell you what - soon after being on that ship and seeing Neo do the things he can do, I gotta say - I'm starting to believe him too. [he embraces Zee]::Zee: Be careful, Link. [hugs him back as he kisses her cheek] Please be careful.

Neo: Why don't you tell me what's on your mind, Councillor?::Councillor Harmann: There is so much in this world that I do not understand. See that machine? It has something to do with recycling our water supply. I have absolutely no idea how it works. But I do understand the reason for it to work. I have absolutely no idea how you are able to do some of the things you do, but I believe there's a reason for that as well. I only hope we understand that reason before it's too late.

Trinity: You always told me to stay off the freeway.::Morpheus: Yes, that's true.::Trinity: You said it was suicide.::Morpheus: Then let us hope that I was wrong.

Neo: Trinity. I know you can hear me. I'm never letting go. I can't. I just love you too damn much.

Commander Lock: Dammit, Morpheus. Not everyone believes what you believe.::Morpheus: My beliefs do not require them to.

Councillor Harmann: Down here, sometimes I think about all those people still plugged into the Matrix and when I look at these machines I... I can't help thinking that in a way... we are plugged into them.::Neo: But we control these machines; they don't control us.::Councillor Harmann: Of course not. How could they? The idea is pure nonsense. But... it does make one wonder... just... what is control?::Neo: If we wanted, we could shut these machines down.::Councillor Harmann: [Of] course. That's it. You hit it. That's control, isn't it? If we wanted we could smash them to bits. Although, if we did, we'd have to consider what would happen to our lights, our heat, our air...::Neo: So we need machines and they need us, is that your point, Councilor?::Councillor Harmann: No. No point. Old men like me don't bother with making points. There's no point.::Neo: Is that why there are no young men on the council?::Councillor Harmann: Good point.

Trinity: They need you.::Neo: I need YOU.

Commander Lock: I believe I'm going to need every ship we have if we're going to survive this attack.::Councillor Harmann: I understand that, Commander.::Commander Lock: Then why did you allow the Nebuchadnezzer to leave?::Councillor Harmann: Because *I* believe our survival depends on more than how many *ships* we have.

Quotes:

Ghost: Well it's nice to have something to look forward to.::Niobe: Indeed it is.

[to Bane/Smith, after he is blinded]::Neo: I can see you.

Agent Smith: Mr. Anderson. Welcome back, we missed you.::[Agent Smith pauses and looks around at the multitude of clones he has created]::Agent Smith: Like what I've done with the place?::Neo: It ends tonight.::Agent Smith: I know it does, I've seen it. That's why the rest of me is just going to enjoy the show because we already know that I'm the one that beats you.

Deus Ex Machina: It is done.

Niobe: Neo...::Morpheus: He fights for us...

Sati: [frightened] He's following us...::Agent Smith: [opens door] Well, well, it's been a long time.::[to Seraph]::Agent Smith: I remember chasing you is like chasing a ghost.::Seraph: I have beaten you before.::Agent Smith: Yes, but as you can see, things are a little different now.::[Smith clones begin to file in. The Smith who has been speaking squats down in front of Sati and speaks to her]::Agent Smith: And you must be the last Exile.::Sati: The Oracle told me about you.::Agent Smith: Oh, really?::[chuckles]::Agent Smith: What did she say about me?::Sati: That you are a bad man.::Agent Smith: Oh, I'm not so bad... once you get to know me...::[more Smiths file in]

Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?::Neo: Because I choose to.

Neo: I just have never...::Rama-Kandra: ...heard a program speak of love?::Neo: It's a... human emotion.::Rama-Kandra: No, it is a word. What matters is the connection the word implies. I see that you are in love. Can you tell me what you would give to hold on to that connection?::Neo: Anything.::Rama-Kandra: Then perhaps the reason you're here is not so different from the reason I'm here.

[as the machine drones swarm around him]::Neo: I only ask to say what I've come here to say. After that, do what you want and I won't try to stop you.::[the drones withdraw and resolve into a face]::Deus Ex Machina: Speak.::Neo: The program Smith has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through this city, as he spread through the matrix. You cannot stop him. But I can.::Deus Ex Machina: [shouting] WE DON'T NEED YOU! WE NEED NOTHING!::[the drones swarm around Neo again]::Neo: If that's true, then I've made a mistake, and you should kill me now.::[the drones swarm... and draw back into the face again]::Deus Ex Machina: What do you want?::Neo: Peace.

Neo: What do you want?::Bane: I want what you want... Yes. That's it, Mr. Anderson. Look past the flesh. Look through the soft gelatin of these dull cow eyes and see your enemy!::Neo: ...No.::Bane: Oh yes, Mr. Anderson.::Neo: It can't be...::Bane: There's nowhere I can't go. There's nowhere I won't find you.::Neo: It's impossible...!::Bane: Not impossible. Inevitable. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
