Quotes 

• Tank : So what do you need? Besides a miracle.

  Neo : Guns. Lots of guns.

• Tank : We're supposed to start with these operation programs first. That's major boring shit. Let's do something a little more fun. How about... combat training.

  Neo : Ju jitsu? I'm gonna learn Ju jitsu.

  [Tank winks and loads the program] 

  Neo : Holy shit!

  Tank : Hey Mikey, I think he likes it. How about some more?

  Neo : Hell, yes. Hell yeah.

• Tank : Here you go, buddy; "Breakfast of Champions."

  Mouse : If you close your eyes, it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs.

  Apoc : Yeah, or a bowl of snot.

  Mouse : Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat Tasty Wheat?

  Switch : No, but technically, neither did you.

  Mouse : That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.

  Apoc : Shut up, Mouse.

• Tank : Neo, this has to be done.

  Neo : Does it? I don't know. This can't be just coincidence. It can't be.

  Tank : What are you talking about?

  Neo : The Oracle. She told me this would happen. She told me that I would have to make a choice.

  Trinity : What choice?

  [Neo walks away] 

  Trinity : What are you doing?

  Neo : I'm going in.

  Trinity : No, you're not.

  Neo : I have to.

  Trinity : Neo, Morpheus sacrificed himself so we could get you out. There is no way you're going back in.

  Neo : Morpheus did what he did because he believes something I'm not.

  Trinity : What?

  Neo : I'm not the one, Trinity. The Oracle hit me with that too.

  Trinity : No, you have to be.

  Neo : I'm sorry, I'm not. I'm just another guy.

  Trinity : No, Neo, that's not true. It can't be true.

  Neo : Why?

  [no response, Neo walks away again] 

  Tank : Neo, this is loco. They've got Morpheus in a military-controlled building. Even if you somehow got inside, those are agents holding him. Three of them. I want Morpheus back too but what you're talking about is suicide.

  Neo : I know that's what it looks like, but it's not. I can't explain to you why it's not. Morpheus believes in something and he was ready to give his life, I understand that now. That's why I have to go.

  Tank : Why?

  Neo : Because I believe in something.

  Trinity : What?

  Neo : I believe I can bring him back.

• Tank : Door on your left.

  [Neo goes right] 

  Tank : Your other left.

• Cypher : Look into his eyes. Those big pretty eyes and tell me... Yes or no?

  [looks at Neo, tears slightly visible in her eyes] 

  Trinity : Yes.

  Cypher : No! I don't believe it!

  Tank : Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn!

• [Neo runs down the alleyway and gets trapped] 

  Neo : Help!, need a little help!

  Tank : The door.

• Cypher : No. I don't believe it.

  Tank : Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn.

• Tank : What does it mean?

  Switch : It doesn't mean anything.

• [after landing the Nebuchaunezzer to hide from the Sentinels] 

  Morpheus : How we doing Tank?

  [Tank types on the keyboard and the main power goes off] 

  Tank : Main power offline. EMP armed...

  [Tank opens the cover to the EMP switch] 

  Tank : and ready.

  Neo : EMP?

  Trinity : Electro-Magnetic Pulse, disables any electrical system within the blast radius, only weapon we have against the machines.

  Morpheus : Quiet.
