Oracle What did you do with Sati?
Cookies need love like everything does. [laughs]
Oracle You are a bastard.
You would know, Mom.

Scenes with Oracle
5 scenes Oracle Oracle Oracle [the Architect and the Oracle meet in a park]
Well, now, ain't this a surprise?
Architect
You played a very dangerous game.
Oracle Change always is.
Architect
Just how long do you think this peace is going to last?
Oracle As long as it can. [the Architect starts to walk off] What about the others?
Architect
[stops]
What others?
Oracle The ones that want out.
Architect
Obviously they will be freed.
Oracle I have your word?
Architect
[contemptuously]
What do you think I am? Human?
Oracle [In the Oracle’s kitchen]
That’s it. That’s the secret. You’ve got to use your hands.
Why?
Oracle Cookies need love like everything does.
Neo!
Oracle I was hoping to have these done before you got here. Oh well. Sati, honey, I think it’s time for a tasting. Take the bowl to Seraph and find out if they’re ready.
Okay. [to Neo] I’m glad you got out.
Me too.
Oracle So, do you recognize me?
A part of you.
Oracle Yeah, that’s how it works. Some bits you lose, some bits you keep. I don’t yet recognize my face in the mirror, but… I still love candy. [Offers Neo a piece of red candy]
No, thank you.
Oracle Remember what you were like when you first walked through my door, jittery as a junebug? And now just look at you. You sure did surprise me, Neo, and you still do.
You gave me a few surprises, too.
Oracle I hope I helped.
You helped me to get here, but my question is: why? Where does this go? Where does it end?
Oracle I don’t know.
You don’t know, or you won’t tell me?
Oracle I told you before. No one can see beyond a choice they don’t understand, and I mean no one.
What choice?
Oracle It doesn’t matter. It’s my choice. I have mine to make, same as you have yours.
Does that include what things to tell me and what not to tell me?
Oracle Of course not.
Then why didn’t you tell me about the Architect? Why didn’t you tell me about Zion and the Ones before me? Why didn’t you tell me the truth?
Oracle Because it wasn’t time for you to know.
Who decided it wasn’t time?
Oracle You know who. [Points at the Temet Nosce sign above the door]
I did. [Oracle nods] Then I think it’s time for me to know a few more things.
Oracle So do I.
Tell me how I separated my mind from my body without jacking in. Tell me how I stopped four Sentinels by thinking it. Tell me just what the hell is happening to me.
Oracle The power of the One extends beyond this world. It reaches from here all the way back to where it came from.
Where?
Oracle The Source. That’s what you felt when you touched those Sentinels. But you weren’t ready for it. You should be dead, but apparently you weren’t ready for that, either.
The Architect told me that if I didn’t return to the Source, Zion would be destroyed by midnight tonight.
Oracle [Rolls eyes]
Please… You and I may not be able to see beyond our own choices, but that man can’t see past any choice.
Why not?
Oracle He doesn’t understand them – he can’t. To him, they are variables in an equation. One at a time, each variable must be solved and counted. That’s his purpose: to balance the equation.
What’s your purpose?
Oracle To unbalance it.
Why? What do you want?
Oracle I want the same thing you want, Neo. And I'm willing to go as far as you are to get it.
The end of the war. [Oracle nods] Is it going to end?
Oracle One way or another.
Can Zion be saved?
Oracle I’m sorry, I don’t have the answer to that question, but if there is an answer, there’s only one place you’re going to find it.
Where?
Oracle You know where. And if you can’t find the answer, then I’m afraid there may be no tomorrow for any of us.
What does that mean?
Oracle Everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death. And you are all that stands in his way.
Smith.
Oracle [Nods]
Very soon he’s going to have the power to destroy this world, but I believe he won’t stop there; he can’t. He won’t stop until there’s nothing left at all.
What is he?
Oracle He is you. Your opposite, your negative, the result of the equation trying to balance itself out.
What if I can’t stop him?
Oracle One way or another, Neo, this war is going to end. Tonight, the future of both worlds will be in your hands… or in his.
Oracle [In the Oracle’s kitchen]
Mmm, I love that smell. I sure am gonna miss it.
Oracle.
Oracle I know, I know. Sati, honey! Take a few cookies and go with Seraph.
Can I come back? I would like to come back!
Oracle I would like that too.
So I’ll see you tomorrow.
Oracle I hope so, honey, I hope so.
[In the Oracle’s kitchen]
The great and powerful Oracle. We meet at last. I suppose you’ve been expecting me, right? The all-knowing Oracle is never surprised. How can she be? She knows everything. But if that’s true, then why is she here? If she knew I was coming, why didn’t she leave? [Sweeps plate of cookies off table] Maybe you knew I was going to do that, maybe you didn’t. If you did, that means you baked those cookies and set that plate right there deliberately, purposefully. Which means you’re sitting there also deliberately, purposefully.
Oracle What did you do with Sati?
Smith/Sati
Cookies need love like everything does.
Smiths
[Laughs]
Oracle You are a bastard.
You would know, Mom.
Oracle Do what you’re here to do.
Yes, ma’am. [copies himself onto the Oracle]
Smith/Oracle
[Laughs maniacally]
