Quotes:

The Instructor: Only the most exceptional humans become aware of the matrix.

Cis: You betrayed us, didn't you?

Duo: It's only a matter of time before Zion is wiped out.

Machine: Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you. We demand it!

Teacher: Reality can be a pretty scary thing for some people; this world must have been a cold and alienating place

Mr. Popper: Neo, I knew you would save me.::Neo: I didn't save you kid, you saved yourself.

Dan: Free, Free.

Duo: I wanted to go back with you, I love you.

Neo: They know you know, get out, get out now!

The Instructor: In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good. But humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption. Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise.
