I can't go back, can I? we never free a mind once it's reached a certain age. It's...

[after the truth of the Matrix has been revealed to Neo, he lies in his bunk with Morpheus in the room with him] Neo: I can't go back, can I? Morpheus: No. But if you could, would you really want to? I feel I owe you an apology. We have a rule: we never free a mind once it's reached a certain age. It's dangerous, the mind has trouble letting go. I've seen it before and I'm sorry. I did what I did because... I had to. When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of us, taught us the truth. As long as the Matrix exists the human race will never be free. After he died, the Oracle prophesized his return and that his coming would hail the destruction of the Matrix, end the war, bring freedom to our people. That is why there are those of us who have spent our entire lives searching the Matrix looking for him. I did what I did because I believe that search is over. [beat] Morpheus: Get some rest. You're going to need it. Neo: For what? Morpheus: Your training.
