The Matrix - The Pill Scene

Man giving the back to the camera. As soon as the lighting appears he turns around revealing his identity (close-up on his face). Hear a door open.

Morpheus

At last.

Now we can see Neo and a women coming in to the room.

Welcome Neo. As you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus.

Neo

It's an honor to meet you.

MORPHEUS

No...The honor is mine. Please come sit.

Guides Neo to a chair. We can see he is not comfortable and hear Morpheus closing the door.

I imagine that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole. Hmm?

NEO

You could say that.

MORPHEUS

I can see it in you eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he's expecting to wake-up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate Neo?

NEO

No

MORPHEUS

Why not?

NEO

Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

MORPHEUS

I know exactly what you mean.

Morpheus sits down on the chair and plays with a case (which contains the pills.

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 felt it you entire life there something wrong with the world 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 brought you to me.Do you know what I'm talking about?

NEO

Matrix

MORPHEUS

Do you want to know what it is? The matrix is everywhere it is all around us even now in this very room.

Changes vision to the both of them to show the room

You can see 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 go to pay you taxes. It is the world that is been pulled over your 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, born into a prison, which you smell or taste or touch. A prison, for your mind. Unfortunately no one can be told what the matrix is.

Opens the case and talks while he stares at the inside of it.

You have to see it for yourself.

Lets the content of the case fall into his hands, puts the case on the table and continues talking.

This is your last chance after this there is no turning back.

Shows what he has on his hand (only blue pill) at the same time talks.

You take the blue pill the story ends you wake-up in your bed and believe whatever you what to believe,

Shows what he has on his other hand (now we can see both pills) at the same time talks.

you take the red pill you stay in wonderland and i show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Show close-up f Neo's faces so that we can see he is struggling with the decision.When about to get the red pill Morpheus starts talking again.

Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more.

Takes the red pill and a thunder can be seen in the background.

Follow me.
