The Matrix Page #4
Neo's eye pries open. He sits up, one eye still closed,
looking around, unsure of where he is. He notices the
screen.
He types "CTRL X" but the letter "T" appears.
NEO:
What...?
He hits another and an "H" appears. He keeps typing,
pushing random functions and keys while the computertypes out a message as though it had a mind of its own.
He stops and stares at the four words on the screen:
"The Matrix has you."
NEO:
What the hell?
He hits the "ESC" button. Another message appears:
"Follow the white rabbit."
He hits it again and the message repeats. He rubs his
eyes but when he opens them, there is another message:
"Knock, knock, Neo."
Someone KNOCKS on his door and he almost jumps out of hischair. He looks back at the computer, but the screen is
now blank.
Someone KNOCKS again. Neo rises, still unnerved.
NEO:
Who is it?
It's Choi.
CHOI (O.S)

12Neo flips a series of locks and opens the door, leavingthe chain on. A young Chinese MAN stands there withseveral of his friends.
NEO:
You're two hours late.
CHOI (MAN)
I know. It's her fault.
NEO:
You got the money?
CHOI:
Two grand.
He takes out an envelope and gives it to Neo through thecracked door.
NEO:
Hold on.
He closes the door. On the floor near his bed is a book,
Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulations. The book has
been hollowed out and inside are several computer disks.
He takes one, sticks the money in the book and drops iton the floor.
Opening the door, he hands the disk to Choi.
CHOI:
Hallelujah! You are my Savior,
man! My own personal Jesus
Christ!
NEO:
If you get caught using that -
CHOI:
I know, I know. This never
happened. You don't exist.
NEO:
Right...
Neo nods as the strange feeling of unrealness suddenly
returns.
CHOI:
Something wrong, man? You look a
little whiter than usual.
NEO:
I don't know... My computer...

NEO:
You ever have the feeling thatyou're not sure if you're awake orstill dreaming?
CHOI:
All the time. It's called
mescaline and it is the only wayto fly.
He smiles and slaps the hand of his nearest droog.
CHOI:
It sounds to me like you need tounplug, man. A little R&R. What
do you think, Dujour, should wetake him with us?
Definitely.
DUJOUR:

He looks up at her and suddenly notices on her blackleather motorcycle jacket dozens of pins: bands,
symbols, slogans, military medals and -A
small white rabbit. The ROOM TILTS.
Yeah, yeah.
NEO:
Sure, I'll go.
13 INT. APARTMENT 13
An older apartment; a series of halls connects a chain ofsmall high-ceilinged rooms lined with heavy casements.
Smoke hangs like a veil, blurring the few lights there
are.
Dressed predominately in black, people are everywhere,
gathered in cliques around pieces of furniture likejungle cats around a tree.
