The Matrix Decoded

Chapter 29 - Lobby Shooting Spree &
Chapter - 30 Dodge This

DVD Script
(fairly close, anyway)

Notes

GUARD: Would you please remove any metallic items you are carrying: keys, loose change--

GUARD: Holy shit--

GUARD 4: Backup! Send backup!

Neo and Trinity walk into the building as if they own it; much the same way that Yeshua cleanses the temple.

In Yeshua's case, the temple had been turned into a merchants court and the people were being cheated. Since the area they were selling in was supposed to be the area that the Gentiles could pray in, they were making it impossible for them to worship.

In the Matrix, the guards pose a threat to Neo and Trinity, and thus are keeping them from Morpheus.

AGENT BROWN: What were you doing?

AGENT SMITH: He doesn't know.

AGENT SMITH: Know what?

AGENT JONES: I think they're trying to save him.

Since he removed his earphone, Agent Smith does not know what has been happening all this time.

What compelled him to 'unplug' from the mainframe computer, the Matrix? Agent Smith exhibits characteristics of a man who is discovering free will, and yet, he is a computer program running inside another computer program. This is an interesting moment to note for future reference...particularly the movies yet to come!

NEO: There is no spoon.

There is a note back in Chapter 21 about the spoon. Here I believe Neo to be reminding himself that, indeed, the physical that he sees is not actually here. Looking into his heart he know the truth and is beginning to put his faith in it.

AGENT BROWN: They are actually attacking.

AGENT SMITH: Find them and destroy them!

(Rooftop Scene)

LT KIM: I repeat, we are under attack! (becomes Agent Jones)

NEO: Trinity!

NEO: ...help.

AGENT JONES: Only human...

TRINITY: Dodge this!

'Lt. Kim' in the helicopter scene coming up represents someone who is directly possessed by the enemy. Even though an Agent used him, Lt. Kim still died as part of the conflict with good. As Yeshua warned, "He that is not with Me is against Me" (Matthew 12:30)

TRINITY: Neo, how did you do that?

NEO: Do what?

TRINITY: You moved like they moved. I've never seen anyone move that fast.

NEO: It wasn't fast enough.

TRINITY: Are you all right?

NEO: I'm fine. Come on, we have to keep moving.

NEO: Can you fly that thing?

TRINITY: Not yet.

TANK: Operator.

TRINITY: (V.O.) Tank, I need a pilot program for a military B- 212 helicopter.

TRINITY: (V.O.) Hurry!

TRINITY: Let's go.
