SmithNow what? Things have changed. The market's tough. I'm sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy.
SmithI know you said the story was over for you, but that's the thing about stories... they never really end do they? We're still telling the same stories we've always told, just with different names... faces... and... I have to say I'm kind of excited. After all these years, to be going back to where it all started. Back to The Matrix! I've spoken to marketing.

The AnalystThe sheeple aren't going anywhere. They like my world. They don't want this sentimentality. They don't want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty.

The Analyst[to Neo]Turns out, in my Matrix, the worse we treat you, the more we manipulate you, the more energy you produce. It's nuts. I've been setting productivity records every year since I took over. And, the best part, zero resistance. People stay in their pods, happier than pigs in shit.

Jude[talking to Neo]I don't want to blow smoke up your ass, but the first time I played the trilogy, I was... shook... the paradox between free will and destiny. Are we all just algorithms doing what we're supposed to do or can we escape our programming?

BugsIf you want the truth Neo, you're going to have to follow me.
The AnalystHere's the thing about feelings. They're so much easier to control than facts. Turns out, in my Matrix, the worse we treat you, the more we manipulate you, the more energy you produce. It's nuts. I've been setting productivity records eve ry year since I took over. And, the best part, zero resistance. People stay in their pods, happier than pigs in shit.
The AnalystThe key to it all? You. And her. Quietly yearning for what you don't have, while dreading losing what you do.

Gwyn de VereThe packet in front of you has our focus group research. Inside you'll find the breakdown, including key word association with the brand, the top two being "originality" and "fresh", which I think are great things to keep in mind as you begin working on Matrix 4... and who knows how many more?
SmithTom and I have more in common than you think. Once he got out, let's just say... I was free to be me.

The AnalystNow, my predecessor loved precision. His Matrix was all fussy facts and equations. He hated the human mind. So he never bothered to realize that you don't give a shit about facts.
The AnalystIt's all about fiction. The only world that matters is the one in here.
[points Neo's head]
The AnalystAnd you people believe the craziest shit. Why? What validates and makes your fictions real? Feelings.
