Dialogue examples
Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area.
Why? It wouldn't mean anything. He'd still believe what he wanted to believe. But Morpheus is the one that matters. He's more important than me and we both know it.
You see, the truth, the real truth is that the war is over. It's been over for a long time. And guess what? We lost!
The truth is out there, Neo. It's looking for you and it will find you, if you want it to.
I imagine, right now, you must be feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole?
I'd say the bad news is, you're not the one. Still got a lot to learn. Maybe next life.
Morpheus, I know what you believe but I think this is a mistake. We're rushing him.
She said I had a gift but I still had a lot to learn. She told me maybe next life.
