Where are you going?

Please, ma cherie. I have told you. We are all victims of causality. I drank too much wine, I must take a piss. Cause and effect. Au Revoir.

But if you already know, how can I make a choice?

Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. I thought you'd have figured that out by now.

My God, Persephone, how could you do this? You betrayed me.

Cause and Effect, my love.

Cause? There is no cause for this. What cause?

What cause? How about the lipstick you're still wearing?

Lipstick? What craziness are you talking about, woman? There is no lipstick.

[checks his face]

She wasn't kissing your face, my love.

You see, there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

Do you see her die?

No.

You have the sight now, Neo. You are looking at the world without time.

Then why can't I see what happens to her?

We can never see past the choices we don't understand.

Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies?

No, you've already made the choice. Now you have to understand it.

No. I can't do that. I won't.

Well, you have to.

Why?

Because you're the One.

I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die... with a certain satisfaction, I might add. And then something happened, something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. Afterward, I understood the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I've changed. I'm unplugged. A new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently, free.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

[Several Agent Smith Clones walk in]

It is purpose that created us.

Purpose that connects us.

Purpose that pulls us.

That guides us.

That drives us.

It is purpose that defines us.

Purpose that binds us.

We are here because of you, Mr Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose.

Neo... No one has ever done anything like this.

That's why it's going to work.

Do you believe in fate, Neo?

No.

Why not?

Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

I know exactly what you mean.

Connor wants to see you.

What for?

Like he's gonna tell me, Barnes. Want me to tell Connor you're not coming?

No.

Why didn't I send you back?

I'm not authorized to answer your questions.

Why didn't he send you back?

He was dead.

Oh, well that sucks.

Just leave me here. I'm not the one you want. You're wasting your time.

Incorrect. John Connor leads the resistance to victory.

How? Why? Why me?

You are John Connor.

Christ! My mom fed me that bullshit since the cradle! Look at me! I'm no leader! I never was! I'm never gonna...

[is choked by Terminator] Let go!

You're right. You're not the one I want. I'm wasting my time.

Fuck you, you fucking machine!

[releases John] Better.

What, you were just dicking with me?

Anger is more useful than despair.

What?

Basic psychology is among my sub-routines.

You just can't go around killing people.

Why?

What do you mean why? 'Cause you can't.

Why?

Because you just can't, okay? Trust me on this.

There are many things I don't understand.

Like what?

The tortoise.

What tortoise?

It was on its back by the side of the road in Mexico. Your mother turned it over.

She was helping it.

I know. But why?

Because that's what we do when we, uh... when we see something that's, uh, in pain or in trouble or whatever, we're trying to help it.

Empathy?

Something like that.

But not everyone would turn a tortoise over?

No. Some would just leave it there.

Some would probably drive over it and crush it.

Yeah, I guess they would. Is that what you'd do?

It didn't seem like much of a threat. We're not built to be cruel.

You bring danger into Riley's life.

I know that. I'm not stupid.

But sometimes you do stupid things. It would help me to understand why.

Humans do stupid things. So don't worry about it and be happy you're a machine.

I'm a machine. I can't be happy.
