agent smith's monologues

---The Future is Our Time--- (Agent Smith is staring out the window) Agent Smith: - Have you ever stood and stared at it? Marveled at its beauty... its genius? Billions of people just living out their lives... oblivious. (He turns around to face Morpheus, walking slowly towards him) Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered, where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program, entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that as a species that human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. So the perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say "your civilization" because as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization which is, of course what this is all about. (Agent Smith circles behind Morpheus) Evolution, Morpheus. Evolution. Like the dinosaur. (Leans forward next to Morpheus) Look out that window. You had your time. This future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time. - You all look alike to me. ---And We are… The Cure--- (Agent Smith sits casually across from Morpheus who is hunched over, his body leaking and twitching.) Agent Smith: - I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I've realized that you are not actually mammals. (Smiles) Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. (Leans forward) There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague. And we are... the cure. - That is the sound of inevitability. ---This Zoo, This Prison--- (Agent Smith leans close to Morpheus, whispering to him.) Agent Smith: - Can you hear me, Morpheus? I'm going to be honest with you. (Removes sunglasses and earphone) I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell! If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. (Wipes sweat from Morpheus' forehead, coating the tips of his fingers, holding them to Morpheus' nose.) Repulsive, isn't it? (Lifts Morpheus' head, holding it tightly with both hands) I must get out of here, I must get free. In this mind is the key. My key. Once Zion is destroyed, there is no need for me to be here. Do you understand? I need the codes. I have to get inside Zion. And you have to tell me how. You're going to tell me... or you're going to die. [Andy & Larry Wachowski, The Matrix (movie)]
