...Trinity: I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for z gut psychiatrist. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.
Neo: Why don't my brian wurk gut?
Trinity: The answer is your brain, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morpheus: I imagine that right now, you're feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?
Neo: ...erm? ...herm?... brian don't wurk gut?...
Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: ...herm?....
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that my brian don't wurk gut, that I'm not in control of my life, that this is the best I can hope for. But perhaps my brian is brok-ed, and that explains why things don't make sense and I do stupid s#%@ all the time.
Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with your brain. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: ... erm...no? ...brian don't wurk gut...
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: ....yes? (hoping perhaps that's the right answer)
Morpheus: Your malfunctioning brain is inside you. It defines for you all that is around us. Even now, ...this very room. You use it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been created by your very eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison which is your mind. I'm sorry Neo. You are stuck with the brain you were born with.
Neo: Dagnabbit!!
Oracle: Sorry Kiddo. Seems like every time we meet we got nothin' but bad news...
Neo: That's ok, Oracle. If it's my cross to bear to use this brian to the best of my ability, ...well, I got's high hopes!! !
Oracle: Not too bright, though. Here. Have a cookie.

I'll take that as a yes.

It's actually more like you keep going to the agent (Psychiatrist) for the answer only to find you should have been going to Morpheus (A Neurologist) the whole time.

Psychiatry - Keepers of the Matrix. Don't ask why you don't quite feel right about it, just keep generating that energy the Matrix can use. We need to suck out your energy so we can keep working

Working at what? you ask.

Yours is not to question why, only but to do and die...

Take that...MMMMMrrrrr. Anderson.



Just remember, there is no spoon.

I had to face Smith for one reason and one reason only - I had to meet the Maker of Definitions - The Diagnostician:

Neo: Oracle, am I One of the Ones?
Oracle: Well... let's see kid, hold out your hand, stick out your tongue and say ahhhhh...
Neo: Ahhhhhh.......
Oracle: OK, now I'm supposed to say, "Hmm, that's interesting, but...” then you say...
Neo: ...”but what?"
Oracle: But... you already know what I'm going to tell you.
Neo: I'm not One of the Ones.
Oracle: Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something.
Neo: What?
Oracle: A neurologist, maybe. Who knows? Saying "ahhhh...." and pointing a wet finger into the wind is as good as anything until one of them shows up. That's the way these things go. Until then - you gotta go to... to...
Neo: Yes?
Oracle: The Diagnostician. I'm sorry Neo. More bad news. Have another cookie.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neo: So - you've diagnosed others with Asperger's before?
Agent Smith: Yes, Mr. Anderson. Many times. With a certain satisfaction, I might add.
Neo: And I resemble those others? I fit your Aspergian definition?
Agent Smith: Why yes, MMMMMrrrrr. Anderson. As a matter of fact - you do.
Neo: Then I know the minds of the Ones as I know my own. That's all I needed to know. I have no further need for you Smith. <Neo removes a spoon from his pocket, looks at his image in it, and watches himself disappear.>

Agent Brown: He's gone.
Agent Smith: Good bye, Mr Anderson.

Well. Aren't WE in a mood today....

I'm not even going to pretend I know what's going on here today.

I'll be in my tree, drinking my tea.

I believe there's a hillbilly referencing a popular movie from a few years back that many of us may not have actually seen....

MMHHMMMM.... That explains everything. (And I am probably one of the few people who has no interest in Keanu Reeves or his movies.)

...before diagnosis, chop wood/haul water.
after diagnosis, chop wood/haul water...

...same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was... (except my hunch was validated, so I know my astrolabe works... )

NEO: (voiceover; computer graphics on screen) I know you're out there. I can see you now. I know that you're afraid. Afraid of difference. Afraid of us. I don't know the future; I don't know how this is going to end. But I do know how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without NT expectations, without neat little boxes for people's ideas. Where we go from there is up to you.

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground....

SAN DIEGO -- The Navy is searching for a demolition charge that disappeared during a training exercise 300 yards off the coast of San Diego. The U.S. Third Fleet says it has been searching for the small explosive since it failed to detonate Thursday during an exercise for an ordnance disposal team. The Navy says in a news release that after the time-delay charge failed to go off, divers followed a safety-mandated one-hour waiting period before approaching its location, only to discover it was missing. Officials believe the explosive will wash ashore within the Navy's Silver Strand Training Center.

Damn, this makes me wanna just run down to the beach for a picnic, ya know?




[Chuck, where PRECISELY have you been for the last couple of days???]

Not to worry. They say "small charge". Depending on exactly what type of charge it was, as long as you are picnicking on the beach, and not actually in the water, the "kill radius" should not approach 300 yards (for anything I ever used).... ...more or less... (barring freak accidents)[Unless they are referring to a small time-delay depth charge armed with nuclear warhead. ] [We will hope for a Bouncing Betty, even though that makes no sense ].

...and I swear it wasn't me. I've been with Agent Smith.

This is no sillier than the people who hear the warnings of impending tsunami, then head down to the beach to watch it.
