    It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

    Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.

    It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the Sun.

    When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit.

    You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged.

    If you’re killed in the Matrix, you die here?

    Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world?

    I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I’ve somehow been infected by it.

      I just found out, that a girl got killed here last week, and you knew it! You knew there was a shark out there!

      Is it true that most people get attacked by sharks in three feet of water about ten feet from the beach?

      The torso has been severed in mid-thorax; there are no major organs remaining… May I have a glass of water, please?

      What we didn’t know… was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent.

      I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up… bobbed up and down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well… he’d been bitten in half below the waist.

        “It was the job we were chosen for.”

        “Of course you’d say that, James Bond, her majesty’s loyal terrier, defender of the so-called faith.”

          The quest for the Grail is not archaeology; it’s a race against evil! If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth! Do you understand me?

            I can see that my 50,000 a year has been well spent.

            Donald, Donald… This park was not built to cater only for the super-rich.

            This isn’t some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction.

            Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together.

            T-Rex doesn’t want to be fed. He wants to hunt.

            Unless they’re continually supplied with lysine by us, they’ll slip into a coma and die.

            I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too. I didn’t have enough respect for that power and it’s out now.

              If I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It’s impossible to go to lightspeed!

              Captain, being held by you isn’t quite enough to get me excited.

              We’re going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer.

              “You said they’d be left at the city under my supervision!”

              “I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
