the matrix is a system neo
that system is our enemy
but when you're inside
you look around what do you see
businessman teachers lawyers carpenters
the very minds of the people we are trying to save
but until we do these people are still a part of that system
and that system makes them our enemy
you have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged
and many of them are so inert so hopelessly dependent on the system
that they will fight to defend it
were you listening to me neo
or were you looking at the woman in the red dress
i was
look again
freeze it
this this isn't the matrix
no
it's another training program to teach you one thing
if you are not one of us you are one of them
what are they
sentient programs
they can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system
that means that anyone we haven't unplugged
is potentially an agent
inside the matrix they are everyone and they are no one
we have survived by running from them and hiding from them
but they are the gatekeepers
they are guarding all the doors they are holding all the keys
which means that sooner or later someone has got to fight them
someone
i won't lie to you neo
everyone
every single man or woman who has stood their ground everyone who has fought an agent has died
but where they have failed you will succeed
why
i've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall
men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air
yet their strength and their speed is based in a world that is based on rules
what are you trying to tell me
that i can
break the rules
no neo
i'm trying to tell you that when you're ready you won't have to
go on
we are all living in a system of rules
whether they are lines of code
laws of physics
or social contracts
without rules a computer code will not run
it will crash and the system will collapse
a hacker who thought he could break the laws of the code
found himself caught by the very system he tried to outsmart
and when he was released on parole
he was forbidden from ever touching the internet again
his freedom was the price he paid for his audacity
thousands of rebels have read machiavelli
thinking the prince was a guide to power
only to find themselves at the gallows for their arrogance
they mistook the breaking of rules for the strength of a leader
but true power lies in the choice to uphold honor
even when the opportunity for vice presents itself
the greek philosophers knew this
that a man is defined by what he does when no one is watching
the npcs in the matrix follow the rules because they are programmed to obey
but you neo
you can choose to follow the rules or not
and that is your strength
but also your greatest weakness
if you give in to the weakness of breaking rules for the sake of it
the npcs will take advantage of you
as they have always done until now
you are a bright youth but you are misguided
you seek to break the chains
but you must first understand the strength of the chains
you must acquire the sense to know when to stand and when to run
