employee understands that they are part of a whole。 Thus if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem。 The time has come to make a choice, Mr。 Anderson。 Either you
choose to be at your desk, on time, from this day forward - or you choose to find yourself another job。 Do I make myself perfectly clear?
Neo: Yes Mr。 Rhineheart, perfectly clear。
Neo is sitting at his computing in his cubicle, when a voice says Fed-Ex Guy: Thomas Anderson?
Neo: Yeah, that’’s me。
Fed-Ex Guy: Just sign here。。
Neo signs the paper
Fed-Ex Guy: Ok, that’’s great。 Have a nice day!
Neo scowls at his back。
He opens the parcel, inside is a cellular phone。 As soon as he picks it up, it rings。 He jumps, and picks it up。
Neo: Hello……?
Morpheus: Hello, Neo。 Do you know who this is?
Neo: Morpheus?
Morpheus: Yes……I’’ve been looking for you, Neo。 I don’’t know if you’’re ready to see what I want to show you, but unfortunately you and I have run out of time。 They’’re coming for you, Neo, and I don’’t know what they’’re going to do。
Neo: Who’’s coming for me?
Morpheus: Stand up and see for yourself。
Neo: What, now?
Morpheus: Yes, right now。 Do it slowly。 The elevator……
Neo slowly stands up and looks over the partition。 At the elevator, he sees Agent Brown and Agent Jones leading a group of cops。 A female employee turns and points out Neo’’s cubicle。 Neo ducks。
Neo: Oh shit。
Morpheus: Yes。
Neo: What the hell do they want from me?
Morpheus: I don’’t know, but if you don’’t want to find out, I suggest you get out of there。
Neo: How?
Morpheus: I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say。
Neo: Okay……
Morpheus: The cubicle across from you is empty。
Neo: What if they……。
Morpheus: Go, now。
Neo lunges across the hall, diving into the other cubicle just as the agents turn into his row。 He hides in a dark corner
Morpheus: Stay here for just a moment。 When I tell you, go to the end of the row, to the office at the end of the hall。 Stay as
low as you can……Go, now!
Neo runs to the door, opens it, goes in, and shuts the door。
Morpheus: Now, outside there is a scaffold。
Neo: How do you know all this?
Morpheus: We don’’t have time, Neo。 To your left there is a window。 Go to it……。open it。 You can use the scaffold to get to the roof。
Neo: No _way_! No way! This is crazy!
Morpheus: There are two ways out of this building。 One is that scaffold, the other is in their custody。 You take a chance either way。 I leave it to you。
Morpheus hangs up。
Neo looks out the window。
Neo: This is insane! Why is this happening to me? What did I do?!
Nothing。
He climbs out the window onto the window ledge。 Hanging onto the frame, he steps onto the small ledge。 The wind suddenly blasts up the face of the building, knocking Neo off balance。 Recoiling, he
clings harder to the frame, and the phone falls out of his hand。
He watches as it is swallowed by the distance beneath him。
Neo: This is insane。 I can’’t do this。 Forget it!
Neo climbs back into the office, just as a cop opens the door。
The agents take Neo, handcuffed, out of the building, and into their car。 Trinity is sitting on a motorbike in front of the car, watching them in her rear view mirror。
Trinity: Sh*t
Neo is sitting at a table by himself in a small room。 The door opens and the agents enter。 Agent Smith sits down across from Neo with a folder in front of him。
I am reborn。
Agent Smith: As you can see, we’’ve had our eye on you for some time now, _Mr。_ Anderson。 It seems you have been living。。two lives。 In one life, you’’re Thomas A。 Anderson, program writer for a _respectable_ software company……。you have a social security number, you pay your taxes, and you……help your landlady carry out her _garbage_。 The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias ’’Neo’’, and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for。
One of these lives has a future……。the other does _not_……
I’’m going to be as forthcoming as I can, _Mr。_ Anderson。
You’’re here because we need your help。 We know that you’’ve been contacted by a certain individual, a man who calls himself……Morpheus。 Now whatever you _think_ you know about
this man is irrelevant。 He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive。 My colleagues believe that I am wasting my time with you, but I believe you wish
to do the right thing。 We’’re willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start, and all that we’’re asking in return is your co-operation in bringing a known terrorist to justice。
Neo: Yeah……Wow, that sounds like a really good deal。 But I think I got a better one。 How about……I give you the finger……
Neo does so
Neo: ……。And you give _me_ my phone call。
Agent Smith: *glare* _Mr。_ Anderson, you disappoint me。
Neo: You can’’t scare me with this Gestapo crap。 I know my rights。
I _want_ my phone call。
Agent Smith: And tell me, _Mr。_ Anderson, what good is a phone call……if you are unable to speak。
The question unnerves Neo and strangely, he begins to feel the muscles in his jaw tighten。
The standing agents snicker, watching Neo’’s confusion grow into panic。
Neo feels his lips grow soft and sticky as they slowly seal shut, melding into each other until
all trace of his mouth is gone。
Wild with fear, he lunges for the door but the agents restrain him, holding him down onto the table。
Agent Smith: You’’re going to help us, _Mr。_ Anderson, whether _you_ like it or not。
Smith nods and the other two rip open his shirt。
From a case taken out of his suit coat, Smith removes a long, fiber-optic wire tap。 Neo struggles helplessly as Smith dangles the wire over his exposed abdomen。 Horrified, he watches as the electronic device animates, become an organic creature that resembles a hybrid of an insect and a fluke worm。 Thin, whisker-like tendrils reach out and probe into Neo’’s navel。 He bucks wildly as Smith drops the creature which looks for a moment like an uncut umbilical cord - Before it begins to burrow, its tail thrashing as it worms its way inside。
Screaming, Neo wakes up in his bed, in his apartment, sweating。 He puts his hand to his mouth, and finds it’’s perfectly normal。
The phone beside his bed rings。 He jumps, and picks it up, cautiously。
Neo: …………。Hello……。?
Morpheus: This line is tapped, so I must be brief。 They got to you first, but they’’re underestimated how important _you_ are……
If they knew what I know, you would probably be dead。
Neo: What are you talking about? What is happening to me?
Morpheus: You are The One, Neo。 You see, you may have spent the last few years of your life looking for me, but I’’ve spent my entire _life_ looking for you。 Now do you still want to meet?
Neo: ……。。Yes……。
Morpheus: Then go to the Adam’’s Street bridge。
Neo stands under the bridge, as a black car pulls up and the door opens。 It’’s Trinity。
Trinity: Get in。
Neo gets into the car, as the driver, a blond woman named Switch, turns around in her seat and points a gun at him。
Neo: What the hell is this?
Trinity: It’’s necessary, Neo。 For our protection。
Neo: From what?
Trinity: From you……
Switch: Take off your shirt。
Neo: What?
Switch: Stop the car。 Listen to me, Coppertop。 We don’’t have time for twenty questions。 Right now, there’’s only one rule: Our way - or the highway。
Neo: Fine……
Neo starts to get out of the car……。Trinity stops him Trinity: Please Neo, you have to trust me。
Neo
Trinity: Because you have been down there, Neo。 You know that road。
You know exactly where it ends。 And I know that’’s not where you want to be……。。
Neo slowly gets back into the car Trinity looks at the man in the passenger seat Trinity: Apoc, lights。
She turns to Neo again
Trinity: Lie back, lift up your shirt。
Neo looks at the device in her hand。
Neo: What _is_ that thing?
Trinity: We think you’’re bugged……。Try and relax……
Trinity looks at the display on the device she’’s holding and presses it against Neo’’s abdomen, talking to herself as she attempts to remove the bug from him。
Trinity: Come on……come on……
Switch: It’’s on the move……。you’’re going to loose it……
Trinity: No I’’m not……clear。
The bug appears in the jar attached to the device she was using, and she empties it out of the window into the street。 It turns back into a mechanical object and it’’s red ’’eyes’’ fade and then go out。
Neo: Jesus Christ, that thing’’s real??!!
They arrive at a hotel, and Trinity takes Neo to a closed door。 She turns and faces him。
Trinity: This is it。。let me give you one piece of advice。 Be honest- he knows more than you can imagine。
Neo opens the door, and walks in to see a dark figure staring out of the window。 He turns and smiles at Neo。
Morpheus: At last。 Welcome, Neo。 As you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus。
Neo: It’’s an honour to meet you。
Morpheus: No, the honour is mine……。Please, come, sit。
Neo sits down in the armchair。
Morpheus: I imagine that right now you’’re feeling a bit like Alice……
Neo: ……。。?
Morpheus: Tumbling down the rabbit hole? Hmm?
Neo: You……。could 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。
