Daily Dialogue — June 16, 2017

“I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid… you’re afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone, and then 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 rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.”

— The Matrix (2000), written by the Wachowskis

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Telephone.

Trivia: The studio insisted on a great deal of explanatory dialogue, as they described the screenplay as “the script that nobody understands.”
