The Matrix Decoded

Chapter 31 - Gotcha &
Chapter 32 - Rooftop Rescue

DVD Script
(fairly close, anyway)

Notes

(Helicopter scene)

AGENT SMITH: No.

NEO: Get up, Morpheus! Get up!

(He does)

AGENT SMITH: Nooo!

(Morpheus takes a bullet in the knee)

NEO: He won't make it.

(rescue...)

NEO: Gotcha!

TRINITY: Shit-shit-no!

We could say that Morpheus plays Lazarus here. He is in a long, narrow room, similar to a cave. He looks nearly dead and surely will die if left here. In fact, Tank wants to 'pull the plug' on him already. And Neo's order to him to 'get up,' is reminiscent

But when Neo calls his name, Morpheus regains his physical strength and his cognizance and is able to 'come forth.'

Neo hears the helicopter begin to die.

Neo saves Trinity in the fabulous helicopter-rescue scene.

TANK: I knew it! He is the One!

MORPHEUS: Do you believe it now, Trinity?

NEO: Morpheus, the Oracle... she told me--

MORPHEUS: She told you exactly what you needed to hear. That is all. Sooner or later, Neo, you're going to realize just like I did the difference between knowing a path and walking a path.

"For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer...he has forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks...and abides by it...shall be blessed in what he does." (James 1:23-25)

(The phone rings)

MORPHEUS (V.O.): Tank.

TANK: Goddamn! It's good to hear your voice, sir!

MORPHEUS (V.O.): We need an exit.

TANK: Got one ready, sir. Subway. State and Balbo.

MORPHEUS (V.O.): We're on our way--

(Rooftop)

AGENT SMITH: Damnit!

AGENT BROWN: The trace was completed.

AGENT JONES: We have their position.

AGENT BROWN: Sentinels are standing by.

AGENT JONES: Order the strike.

AGENT SMITH: They're not out yet.
