Nitro Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 NEO I am the One and I am free. The Oracle is fond of me. I need the dude that makes the key. MEROVINGIAN You only dream that you are free, Look all around -- causality: It's in the wine, it's in the steak, It's in this chocolate cake I bake. See yonder blonde? She sure looks fine. One bite of cake, and she'll be mine. Then in the restroom where we're meeting, You can guess what she'll be eating. So, goodbye. NEO But I am free, And he is not the boss of me! PERSEPHONE He is a pig, she is a whore, I've seen this scene twelve times before. The tricks he's pulled, the lies he's said, I'll shoot his henchman in the head! I'll fix him good for being sly, I'll give you the keymaker guy. But first, a kiss to seal the deal, Just make me feel that it's for real. NEO This bargain does have some appeal... OK, a kiss, and now we're through. PERSEPHONE I'm very cute, curvaceous too, Is that the best that you can do? It must be true, the things they say, The tabloid stories that you're... NEO Hey! Let's try again, you are a hottie. Here's a kiss that's really naughty. Trinity will hate this night. She'll bring it up each time we fight. PERSEPHONE Now, that was better, way to go! I feel a tingle, head to toe. Let's have another. TRINITY Back off, ho! Or taste a bullet from my gun. PERSEPHONE Too bad you're with her, she's no fun. Well, come with me, we won't get caught. I'll lead you in my secret spot: A steamy, dark place down below, A tunnel deep in my chateau. MORPHEUS Could this be symbolism? TRINITY No. PERSEPHONE Come through this door and take a peek This little guy's the locksmith geek. KEYMAKER I've got the keys to every lock. I jingle-jangle when I walk! NEO And can you get me to the Source? KEYMAKER I have that key. Of course! Of course! I'm on your side, just don't take me, Through airport gate security.

benTantilles Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Anybody else thinking Revolutions will end with a version of the phonecall/voiceover from the first one? i am...tho i'm inclined to believe that the voiceover is more likely than the phone call, as i believe that revolutions will witness the destruction of the matrix (the phone call @ the end of the first matrix was made possible only IN the matrix)....yeah, the voice-over's definitely the more likely one, imo...perhaps one shedding light on the aftermath of the war, or one summarizing the philosophical topics touched on by the matrix movies.

Flying Beastie Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Well, as I said in the initial Matrix thread, I have a theory about a potential plot twist. Col. Sanders was offering Neo an "either or" dilemma. There's always a third choice, if Neo's creative enough to see it and powerful enough to make it work. Besides, with Zion destroyed, the real world (or the Matrix sub-unit that Morpheus thinks is the real world) won't be able to support the sudden influx of >1000 new mouths to feed.

Flying Beastie Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 What I meant was that Morpheus' quest was to liberate everyone from the Matrix, but without Zion's production facilities he won't be able to feed, clothe, or house everyone. Which means that by destroying Zion, the Machines have Morpheus in check. He could turn the Matrix off, but he'd end up consigning thousands, or even millions, to their deaths as they slowly starve or die from exposure. Of course, collateral damage doesn't seem much concern to Morpheus & co, who've proven their willingness to endanger hundreds of innocents in their personal war. They are fanatics, after all. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 1) create nuclear physicists and precision machinists 2) acquire plutonium 3) construct h-bombs 4) get a hovercraft 5) run that bitch to the surface 6) get all jihad on the power plant 7) take that machines it defeats the machines AND deals with what to do with all the people still in the matrix. it's win-win.

Kuuki Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 1 problem: People in Zion want the matrix to end and everyone to live, not to nuke those of their own kind... besides if you manage to kill the matrix, you'd kill everyone anyway, cus they'd all have to unplug first ^_~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Which is why I suspect that Revolutions will end with the Matrix (or a slightly-altered form of it), still functioning. Remember that "revolution" doesn't just mean a change in political regime --it can also mean "to turn full-circle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Tycho Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I've been around. Everyone seems the same here, so no worries. As long as you all know; Tych's back. Also, what are these "points"? And why does Niner have an excessive amount of them. Share the wealth, ass. Update me, please. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 You get two for every post you make, and can use 'em to buy useless things, like a glowy name or a sig pic. The sig pic's the only one worth getting, and now that I've got one, I donate points to people 50 points or less away from getting what they want, though if I make it to 300 again, I'll buy a glowy name.
