Duo: Your favourite simulation.
CIS: Just killing time. You wanna spar?
Duo: As you wish.
(a fight begins)
Duo: That was too easy. What’s your problem? Where’s your concentration? Maybe you regret taking the red pill.
CIS: Maybe.
Duo: It crosses everyone’s mind at least once. The wish to return to an ordinary life. A carefree life in the country. The life we had before knowing all this.
CIS: Even if that life was just an illusion?
Duo: It’s ironic that one can be more at peace in the virtual world.
(fight resumes)
Duo: Finally starting to warm up. Listen to me. I have something I want to talk to you about. It’s all right. I’ve blocked the signal so no one else can hear us.
CIS: So what, you’re gonna propose?
Duo: I’m going back to the Matrix and I want you to come with me.
CIS: Come on, be serious Duo. Stop teasing me.
Duo: I am serious and you know it. I really thought you’d be with me on this. Anyway. It’s done and it’s all been settled with them.
CIS: What do you mean, it’s all been settled?
Duo: This is the only way. It’s just a matter of time before Zion is wiped out. Come with me.
CIS: Stop it. Please do not do this to me, Duo. We can’t…
Duo: We can! I’ve come to my senses. You should do the same. I took the red pill because I wanted to know the truth….But I don’t care about the truth anymore. What’s real doesn’t matter. What’s important is how we live our lives. Are you listening to me? You know I’m right.
CIS: But we can’t go back, Duo, we know the truth now.
Duo: We can forget all of this.
CIS: Duo…
Duo: I know how. Trust me. Don’t be afraid to look into your heart. Say what you’re really feeling. Tell me!
CIS: I can’t… I don’t know!
Duo: Running away won’t change anything.
CIS: You’re the one who’s running away.
Duo: Stop pretending!
CIS: Enough, Duo! I’ve had enough!
Duo: There’s no time. They are on their way.
CIS: You betrayed us, didn’t you? Operator, please! Get me out of here, right now! Operator, I need an exit!
Duo: It’s no use, I told you, I’ve blocked your signal. You won’t stop me. This is your last chance. The choice isn’t that hard. Come with me.
CIS: You can forget about it, Duo; I won’t look away from the truth, I can’t.
Duo: That’s too bad. I’m sorry.
(they fight with swords as per some of those awesome pics we’ve been seeing. i’m told it’s a totally cool scene)
Dou: I wanted to go back with you. I love you.
CIS: NO!
(blackness, CIS is unplugged by the operator)
Operator: Whoa, whoa, whoa, relax. You’re okay. Easy, CIS. Settle down. He was just part of the training program. He’s just a simulation. It’s over. It was a test. Judgment, concentration, technique. High scores on every one. You okay?
CIS: I feel a lot better now.
Operator: Except for that last part, I’d say she passed.
