Enter the Matrix (2003 Video Game)

Jada Pinkett Smith: Niobe

Quotes 

• Niobe : Why do you always do it?

  Ghost : What?

  Niobe : Check your guns. They're always loaded the same way.

  Ghost : Hume teaches us that past experiences don't affect the future. If you throw a stone, a hundred times it can fall down, yet once it may fly up.

• Niobe : If we fail, Neo fails. That cannot happen at any cost.

• Ghost : What if they don't find us?

  Niobe : They will.

  Ghost : How do you know?

  Niobe : I just know.

  Ghost : What do you think will happen after that?

  Niobe : I don't know. I've got a feeling this is going to be one hell of a ride.

• Ghost : It's nice to have something to look forward to.

  Niobe : Indeed it is.

• Ghost : I've always said that when I die, let it be for something, and not of something.

  Niobe : Amen.

• Persephone : What is your lover's name?

  Niobe : Jason.

  Persephone : No... it's not Jason. But Jason knows his name.

• Niobe : Who are you?

  Agent Smith : Me? I guess you could say, that I am the Alpha...

  Agent Smith Clone#1 : ...Of your Omega.

  Agent Smith Clone#2 : I am the Beginning...

  Agent Smith Clone#3 : ...Of your End.

• Niobe : Is the exit clean?

  Sparks : As vestal as my bunghole.

• [after plugging out from saving Morpheus] 

  Sparks : Ghost, can you help me out here? She promised and you heard her. Jack in, find the One, jack out. End of story.

  Ghost : What happened?

  Niobe : It's Morpheus. He just called.

  Sparks : He says he needs your help. Can you imagine what that means? Our help? He's got Neo, why does he need you? I know you're both listening to me about as much as you're listening to this pole here, so I'll just tell you what I think. I think you just spent eight of your nine lives getting out of there, and if you turn around and go right back in, I don't think you're just pushing your luck, I don't think you're crazy... I think you have a death wish! A major, full-on Bronson! Since your lives obviously mean nothing to you, I ask you... try to think about something that does have meaning... Namely my life.

  Ghost : Shut up, Sparks!

  Sparks : [pause after losing]  Yeah, sure, why not.

  [walks away] 

  Ghost : It's your call Captain.

• Sparks : You OK?

  Niobe : Man, reality can be a bitch.

  Ghost : Tell me about it.

  Sparks : You want a shot? Dr. Fellgood can fix you up.

  Niobe : Right now, all I want to know is what's on that disk.

• Niobe : Sparks, the exit. Tell me it's close!

  Sparks : Maintenance phone on the roof. The phone is behind the roof-access door.

  Ghost : [groans]  Uh, thanks Sparks. Couldn't it have been on the ground floor?

• [Niobe, Ghost and Axel are at the subway] 

  Ghost : All right, Axel. That's your dust-off.

  Axel : You know, there's a lot of guys that wouldn't have done what you did. I thank you for it.

  Niobe : You would have.

  Ghost : It was that, or kill you.

  Axel : I'm just glad fate brought you to the airport.

  Niobe : I'm not sure you'll agree with that tomorrow. Just tell Soren midnight. He'll know the place.

  Axel : Okay.

• [Before Niobe and Ghost plug in to the Matrix to get the package] 

  Ghost : We've scouted the post office.

  Niobe : Is the drop still clean?

  Ghost : Niobe, this won't be easy.

  Niobe : Thadeus was my friend. I knew him. He never used a drop before. He didn't trust them. Whatever is in that box cost Thadeus his life and the lives of his crew. And I have a feeling if we don't get to it first, it's going to cost us a whole lot more. So, are you red or blue on this?

  Ghost : You know me, Niobe. It's not a choice. It's a way of life.

• Sparks : Because I know how valued my opinion is on this ship, I won't bother to tell you that I think it's insane for you not to wait for a support team. And for the record, when I cart your bodies back to Zion, do you prefer cremation or the gardens?

  Ghost : Sparks, your faith in us remains a source of personal inspiration.

  Sparks : Well, I am what I am and I do what I can.

  Niobe : Then, can you shut up and hit the button?

  Sparks : Your wish, oh Captain, my Captain, is my keystroke, colon, double backlash, execute, command.

• [after Cain and Abel stole the key meant for Neo] 

  Keymaker : You must stop them! They'll ruin everything!

  Niobe : What is so important about that key?

  Keymaker : The key is integral to the path of the One.

  Ghost : Why don't you just make another one?

  Keymaker : Once it is used, it cannot be used again! They will bring about the end of everything!

• [Seraph calls the Logos] 

  Sparks : Operator.

  Seraph : Is this the Logos?

  Sparks : Maybe.

  Niobe : This is Captain Niobe of the Logos. Who is this?

  Seraph : My name is Seraph. I bring word from the Oracle. You must come at once.

• Trainman : [mumbling]  72 hours. 72 hours!

  Niobe : What'd you say?

  Trainman : That's exactly how long Zion lasted last time.

  Niobe : What do you mean and who are you?

  Trainman : Me? Nobody. Just a... spectator, enjoying the ride. Heheheh... 72 hours.

• Niobe : Why do you do that?

  Ghost : Do what?

  Niobe : Check your guns.

  Ghost : You never know.

  Niobe : This is a program, they're loaded the same every time.

  Ghost : Hume teaches us that no matter how many times you drop a stone and it falls to the floor, you never know what'll happen the next time you drop it. It might fall to the floor, but then again it might float to the ceiling. Past experience never proves the future.

  Niobe : So...?

  Ghost : So, you never know.

• [after Niobe and Ghost enter the meeting spot in the sewers] 

  Corrupt : They're waiting.

  Ghost : Has everyone arrived?

  Corrupt : All but the Nebuchadnezzar.

  Niobe : Figures. Anything for an entrance.
