Quotes 

• 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.

• Cypher : You know... for a long time, I thought I was in love with you. I used to dream about you. You're a beautiful woman, Trinity. Too bad things had to turn out this way.

  Trinity : You killed them.

  Apoc : What?

  Switch : Oh God.

  Cypher : I'm tired, Trinity. I'm tired of this world. I'm tired of fighting, tired of this ship, being cold and eating the same goddamn groop every day. But most of all, I'm tired of that jag-off and all of his bullshit.

  Cypher : [to Morpheus]  Surprise, asshole! I bet you never saw this coming, did you? God, I wish I could be there when they break you. I wish I could walk in just when it happens. So that right then, you'd know it was me.

  Trinity : You gave them Morpheus.

  Cypher : He lied to us, Trinity. He tricked us! If you had told us the truth, we'd have told you to shove that red pill right up your ass!

  Trinity : That's not true, Cypher, he set us free.

  Cypher : [looking up inside the Nebuchadnezzar]  Free. You call *this* free? All I do is what he tells me to do. If I have to choose between that and the Matrix. I choose the Matrix!

• Switch : Our way... or the highway.

• Mouse : [to Neo]  So I understand that, uh, you've run through the Agent Training program. You know, I, um... I wrote that program.

  Apoc : Here it comes...

  Mouse : So, what did you think of her?

  Neo : Of who?

  Mouse : The woman in the red dress. I designed her. She, um... Well, she doesn't talk very much, but-but if you'd like to meet her, I can arrange for a much more personalized milieu.

  Switch : The digital pimp hard at work.

  Mouse : [annoyed at Switch]  Pay no attention to these hypocrites, Neo. To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.

• Tank : What does it mean?

  Switch : It doesn't mean anything.

• [Cypher has betrayed the crew and is pulling their plugs one by one] 

  Cypher : By the way, if you have something terribly important to say to Switch, I'd suggest you say it now.

  Trinity : Oh no, please don't...

  Switch : Not like this. Not like this.

  [Cypher pulls her plug, and her in-Matrix body falls dead] 

  Cypher : Too late.

  Trinity : God damn you Cypher!

  Cypher : Don't hate me Trinity... I'm just the messenger.

• Switch : The digital pimp hard at work.
