  • At last.

  • Welcome, Neo.

  • As you no doubt have guessed...

  • ...I am Morpheus.

  • It's an honor to meet you.

  • No...

  • ...the honor is mine.

  • Please, come. Sit.

  • I imagine...

  • ...that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice...

  • ...tumbling down the rabbit hole?

  • You could say that.

  • I can see it in your eyes.

  • You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees...

  • ...because he's expecting to wake up.

  • Ironically, this is not far from the truth.

  • Do you believe in fate, Neo?

  • No.

  • Why not?

  • I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

  • I know exactly what you mean.

  • Let me tell you why you're here.

  • You know something.

  • What you know, you can't explain.

  • But you feel it.

  • You felt it your entire life:

  • Something's wrong with the world. You don't know what, 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?

  • The Matrix?

  • Do you want to know...

  • ...what it is?

  • The Matrix is everywhere.

  • It is all around us.

  • Even now, in this very room.

  • You can see it when you look out your window...

  • ...or when you turn on your television.

  • You can feel it when you go to work...

  • ...when you go to church...

  • ...when you pay your taxes.

  • It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes...

  • ...to blind you from the truth.

  • What truth?

  • That you are a slave.

  • Like everyone else, you were born into bondage...

  • ...born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch.

  • A prison...

  • ...for your mind.

  • Unfortunately, no one can be...

  • ...told what the Matrix is.

  • You have to see it for yourself.

  • This is your last chance.

  • After this, there is no turning back.

  • You take the blue pill...

  • ...the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe...

  • ...whatever you want to believe.

  • You take the red pill...

  • ...you stay in Wonderland...

  • ...and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

  • Remember...

  • ...all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

  • Follow me.

At last.
