The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. When you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of people we're trying to save, but until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that 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 protect it. Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
Morpheus
Look again. Freeze it.
Morpheus
No. It's another training program designed to teach you one thing. If you are not one of us, you are one of them.
Morpheus
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.
Morpheus
Inside the matrix they are everyone and they are no one.
Morpheus
We have survived by hiding from them, by running 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 is going to have to fight them.
Morpheus
I won't lie to you, Neo. 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.
Morpheus
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 are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.
Morpheus
If you'd told us the truth, we would've told you to shove that red pill right up your ass!
Cypher
Just between you and me, you don't believe it, do you? You don't believe this guy is The One?
Cypher
It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye.
Cypher
Good shit, huh? Dozer makes it. It's good for two things: degreasing engines and killing brain cells.
Cypher
I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here. Why, oh why didn't I take the blue pill?
Cypher
I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.
Cypher
All I do is what he tells me to do.
