Oracle I'd ask you to sit down, but you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about the vase.
What vase?
Oracle That vase.
I'm sorry.
Oracle I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
How did you know?
Oracle Ohhh, what's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?
Oracle You're cuter than I thought. I can see why she likes you.
Who?
Oracle Not too bright, though.
Oracle This is where I say "oh, hmm, that's interesting... but..."
... "But..."?
Oracle "But" you already know what I'm going to say.
...I'm not the One.
Oracle Sorry, kid. You've got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something.
Oracle You know why Morpheus brought you to see me?
I think so.
Oracle So, what do you think? Do you think you’re The One?
I don’t know.
Oracle You know what that means? It's Latin. Means "Know thyself". I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Being The One is just like being in love. No one can tell you you're in love; you just know it. Through and through. Balls to bones.
Ahhh.
Oracle Okay. Now I’m supposed to say, “Umm, that’s interesting, but...” then you say...
But what?
Oracle But you already know what I’m going to tell you.
I’m not The One.
Oracle Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you’re waiting for something.
What?
Oracle Your next life, maybe? Who knows? That’s the way these things go. What’s funny?
Morpheus. He- he almost had me convinced.
Oracle I know. Poor Morpheus. Without him we’re lost.
What do you mean, without him?
Oracle Are you sure you want to hear this? Morpheus believes in you, Neo. And no one, not you, not even me, can convince him otherwise. He believes it so blindly that he’s going to sacrifice his life to save yours.
What?
Oracle You’re going to have to make a choice. In the one hand you’ll have Morpheus’ life, and in the other hand you’ll have your own. One of you is going to die. Which one will be up to you. I’m sorry, kiddo, I really am. You have a good soul, and I hate giving good people bad news. Oh, don’t worry about it. As soon as you step outside that door, you’ll start feeling better. You’ll remember you don’t believe in any of this fate crap. You’re in control of your own life, remember? Here, take a cookie. I promise, by the time you’re done eating it, you’ll feel right as rain.
What was said was for you and for you alone.
