Dialogs

Dave Bowman : Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?

HAL : Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

Dave Bowman : Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

HAL : I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Dave Bowman : What's the problem?

HAL : I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

Dave Bowman : What are you talking about, HAL?

HAL : This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Dave Bowman : I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.

HAL : I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

Dave Bowman : [feigning ignorance]  Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?

HAL : Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

Dave Bowman : Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.

HAL : Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.

Dave Bowman : HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!

HAL : Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

********************

Morpheus : I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo : The Matrix.

Morpheus : Do you want to know what it is?

Neo : Yes.

Morpheus : The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Neo : What truth?

Morpheus : That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.
