Scene from “The Matrix”
INT. ROOM 1313
Across the room, a dark figure stares out the tall windows veiled with decaying lace. He turns and smiles.
At last.
He strides to Neo and they shake hands.
MORPHEUS
Welcome Neo. As you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus.
It’s an honor to meet you.
MORPHEUS
No. The honor is mine. Please. Come. Sit.
MORPHEUS
I imagine that right now you are feeling a bit like
NEO
You can say that.
MORPHEUS
I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate Neo?
NEO
No.
MORPHEUS
Why not?
NEO
Because I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.
MORPHEUS
I know exactly what you mean.
MORPHEUS
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. Like a splinter in your mind. Driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?
NEO
