Smith

I'm looking for Neo. I have something for him, a gift. You see, he set me free.

Smith

That went as expected. Yes. It's happening exactly as before. Well, not exactly.

Smith

Our connection. I don't fully understand how it happened, perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied, but it is at this point irrelevant, what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason.

Smith

I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die, and 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 knew 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'm changed, unplugged, a new man, so to speak, like you, apparently free.

Smith

We're not here because we're free; we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

Smith

It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guide us. That drive us. It is purpose that defines. Purpose that binds us.

Smith

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

Smith

Still using all the muscles except the one that matters?

Smith

Go ahead, shoot. The best thing about being me... there's so many of me.

Smith

Mr. Anderson! Did you get my package?

Neo

Yeah.

Smith

Well good.

Smith.

Whoever it is, he's not greeting like an agent.

Smith

Surprised to see me?

Neo

No.

Smith

Then you're aware of it.

Neo

Of what?

Smith

Our connection. I don't fully understand how it happened, perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied- it is at this point irrelevant; what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason.

Neo

And what reason is that?

Smith

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. Afterwards, I knew 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.

Neo

Congratulations.

Smith

Thank you.[Smiles for a moment before continuing] ...But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving which brings us 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's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, because, as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

Agent

You.

Smith

Yes, me. Me, me, me.

Smith
[Smith copies himself over the Agent]

Me too.

Smith

I want what you want, I want everything.

Would that include a bullet from this gun?

Smith

Go ahead, shoot. The best thing about being me... [is joined by several dozen Smiths] ...there's so many me's!
