Quotes 

  • Commander Lock : Dammit, Morpheus. Not everyone believes what you believe.

    Morpheus : My beliefs do not require them to.

  • Morpheus : [Morpheus addresses the people of Zion]  Zion, hear me! It is true, what many of you have heard. The machines have gathered an army and as I speak, that army is drawing nearer to our home.

    [the Zion crowd becomes louder] 

    Morpheus : Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No, I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me. I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines. I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us, and after a century of war I remember that which matters most... We are still here! Today, let us send a message to that army. TOnight, let us shake this cave. Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth, steel, and stone, let us be heard from red core to black sky. Tonight, let us make them remember, THIS IS ZION AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!

  • 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.

  • [after first meeting with The Merovingian] 

    Neo : Well, that didn't go so well.

    Morpheus : Are you Certain the Oracle didn't say anything else?

    Neo : Yes.

    Trinity : Maybe we did something wrong.

    Neo : Or didn't do something.

    Morpheus : No, what happened, happened and couldn't have happened any other way.

    Neo : How do you know?

    Morpheus : We are still alive.

  • Morpheus : I have dreamed a dream, but now that dream is gone from me.

  • Morpheus : All of our lives, we have fought this war. Tonight I believe we can end it. Tonight is not an accident. There are no accidents. We have not come here by chance. I do not believe in chance. When I see three objectives, three captains, three ships. I do not see coincidence, I see providence. I see purpose. I believe it our fate to be here. It is our destiny. I believe this night holds for each and every one of us, the very meaning of our lives.

  • Morpheus : This is a war and we are soldiers. Death can come for us at any time, in any place.

    [Scene switch to the Vigilant under attack] 

    Morpheus : . Now consider the alternative. What if I am right? What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?

  • Trinity : Is Neo okay?

    Link : Okay? Shit, Morpheus, you should have seen him.

    Morpheus : Where is he now?

    [Link checks a computer] 

    Link : He's doin' his Superman thing.

  • Trinity : You always told me to stay off the freeway.

    Morpheus : Yes. That's true.

    Trinity : You said it was suicide.

    Morpheus : [loads his Glock 18]  Then let us hope... that I was wrong.

  • Commander Lock : If it were up to me, Captain, you wouldn't set foot on a ship for the rest of your life.

    Morpheus : Then I am grateful that it is not up to you.

  • Morpheus : What is it, Niobe?

    Niobe : I can't help it, Morpheus, I can't help thinking, what if you're wrong? What if all this, the prophecy, everything is bullshit?

  • Morpheus : Link?

    Link : Yessir?

    Morpheus : Given your situation, I can't say I fully understand your reasons for volunteering to operate on my ship. However, if you wish to continue to do so, I must ask you to do one thing.

    Link : What's that, sir?

    Morpheus : ...To trust me.

    Link : Yessir. I will, sir.

    [Morpheus looks at him for a moment] 

    Link : I mean, I do, sir.

  • Niobe : I remember. I remember when you used to dance. I remember you were... pretty good.

    Morpheus : There are some things in this world, Captain Niobe, that will never change.

    Commander Lock : Niobe.

    Morpheus : Some things do change.

  • Merovingian : 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?

  • Morpheus : Captain Mifune.

    Mifune : Captain Morpheus.

    Morpheus : Are you here to escort me to the stockade, Captain?

    Mifune : I'm just here to keep the peace.

    A.P.U. Escort : Commander Lock demands!...

    Mifune : [interruptingly clears his throat] 

    A.P.U. Escort : ...Requests your immediate counsel, sir!

  • Agent Smith : I want everything.

    Morpheus : Would that include a bullet from this gun?

  • Morpheus : A Sentinel for every man, woman, and child in Zion. That sounds *exactly* like the thinking of a machine to me.

  • Morpheus : Smith?

    [Neo nods his head, winded] 

    Morpheus : Now there's more than one of him?

    Neo : A lot more.

    Link : But how? How can that be possible?

    Neo : I don't know. Somehow he's found a way to copy himself.

    Morpheus : Was that what he was doing to you?

    Neo : I don't know what he was doing. But I remember what it felt like.

    Trinity : What?

    Neo : It felt like I was back in that hallway... it felt like dying.

  • Morpheus : And does the Commander have a plan for dealing with two hundred and fifty *thousand* Sentinels?

    Niobe : A strategy is still being formulated.

    Morpheus : I'm sure it is.

  • Morpheus : Neo, if you're out there I could use some help.

  • Ballard : You're asking for one of us to disobey a direct order.

    Morpheus : That's right, I am. But we all well know that the reason that most of us are here is because of our... affinity for disobedience.

  • Link : We got a serious situation, sir.

    Morpheus : [Morpheus sees that Trinity is jacked in]  Oh, no!

  • Morpheus : What can you see, Neo?

    Neo : It's strange... the code is somehow different.

    Morpheus : Encrypted?

    Neo : Maybe.

    Trinity : Is that good for us, or bad for us?

    Neo : Well, it looks like every floor is wired with explosives.

    Trinity : Bad for us.

    Morpheus : Here we go.
