THE MATRIX RELOADED script

Neo and Trinity, members of the human resistance, arrive at Zion, the last human city, after escaping a Sentinel attack, where they discuss Neo's role as 'The One' and his predecessors. Meanwhile, Agents Smith, Jones, and Brown conspire to recruit Gregory Lowfield, a human with reality-altering powers, to combat Neo, leading to Smith training Gregory in the Matrix. The resistance team jacks into the Matrix for a mission, but their plans are disrupted when Agent Smith recruits Gregory, leading to a massive firefight between the rebels and Matrix forces. Neo confronts the Agents and battles Gregory in the sky, while Morpheus and Neo argue about the ethics of destroying the Matrix and freeing humanity, with Morpheus ultimately abandoning Neo in the Matrix. Left alone, Neo discards his phone and prepares to face the Metacortex building, accepting his fate to confront the Matrix's core.

Dialogue examples

Even if we could somehow get to them without cutting through their defenses, there's no way we can rehabilitate billions of people. They wouldn't even want to be woken up.

Morpheus / Scene 34

Uh, it's impossible. If the Matrix is destroyed, the people within the system will die. They will all die. There has to be a different way.

Neo / Scene 31

You're not human, Gregory. That's why you don't fit in. That's why you have certain powers.

Agent Smith / Scene 19

Yeah, you took a pretty good knock on the head. Do you know how we got this place?

Gregory Lowfield / Scene 30

I’m sure Mary Palmer will appreciate your mood more than I.

Circa / Scene 8

I know what you’re thinking. What we need is our own Neo...

Agent Smith / Scene 9

No fucking shit I got signal. Dude, they’re changing it.

Razor / Scene 12

Idiot. We don't care about life, we care about victory.

Agent Smith / Scene 26
