Quotes 

• The Analyst : Quietly yearning for what you don't have, while dreading losing what you do. Desire and fear.

• The Analyst : [to Neo]  Turns out, in my Matrix, the worse we treat you, the more we manipulate you, the more energy you produce. It's nuts. I've been setting productivity records every year since I took over. And, the best part, zero resistance. People stay in their pods, happier than pigs in shit.

• The Analyst : The sheeple aren't going anywhere. They like my world. They don't want this sentimentality. They don't want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty.

• The Analyst : Here's the thing about feelings. They're so much easier to control than facts. Turns out, in my Matrix, the worse we treat you, the more we manipulate you, the more energy you produce. It's nuts. I've been setting productivity records eve ry year since I took over. And, the best part, zero resistance. People stay in their pods, happier than pigs in shit.

  The Analyst : The key to it all? You. And her. Quietly yearning for what you don't have, while dreading losing what you do.

  The Analyst : For 99.9% of your race, that is the definition of reality. Desire and fear, baby.

• Smith : Lies, lies and more lies.

  The Analyst : Smith?

  Smith : What has the world come to when you can't even trust a program?

• The Analyst : Now, my predecessor loved precision. His Matrix was all fussy facts and equations. He hated the human mind. So he never bothered to realize that you don't give a shit about facts.

  The Analyst : It's all about fiction. The only world that matters is the one in here.

  [points Neo's head] 

  The Analyst : And you people believe the craziest shit. Why? What validates and makes your fictions real? Feelings.

• The Analyst : Thomas. You seem particularly triggered, can you tell me what happened?

  Neo : I've had dreams that weren't just dreams. Am I crazy?

  The Analyst : We don't use that word here.

• [last lines] 

  Trinity : Before we got started, we decided to stop by to say thank you. You gave us something we never thought we could have.

  The Analyst : And what is that?

  Trinity : Another chance.

• The Analyst : Aye-yi-yi, what a mess.
