The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. - Morpheus.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure. - Agent Smith.
Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. - Agent Smith.
On a kiddy show in Austin Texas, the host, "Uncle Jay" was annoncing a short film of the departure of his sidekick "Packer Jack" (often called just "Packer") who was going away for a few weeks on vacation.
the announcement went something like this.
OK kids, now we're going to go see Packer-Jack off at the airport.
Before it even left his mouth he realized what he had said, and went into convulsive laughter which instantly spread to the entire studio crew.
It was pandemonium. The camera drifted aimlessly and the sound boom dropped to the floor. The entire stage crew were holding each other up and laughing their asses off.
It was a full minute before they could even get it together enough to cut to a commercial, and the laughter broke out again and again for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile the 20 kids sat there wondering what was so funny.
