Duo: Your favourite simulation.

CIS: Just killing time. You wanna spar?

Duo: As you wish. 

[they fight]

Duo: That was too easy. What's your problem? Where's your concentration? Maybe you regret taking the red pill. 

CIS: Maybe. 

Duo: It crosses everyone's mind at least once. The wish to return to an ordinary life. A carefree life in the country. The life we had before knowing all this. 

CIS: Even if that life was just an illusion? 

Duo: It's ironic that one can be more at peace in the virtual world. 

[they fight again]

Duo: Finally starting to warm up. Listen to me. I have something I want to talk to you about. It's all right. I've blocked the signal so no one else can hear us. 

CIS: So what, you're gonna propose? 

Duo: I'm going back to the Matrix and I want you to come with me. 

CIS: Come on, be serious Duo. Stop teasing me. 

Duo: I am serious and you know it. I really thought you'd be with me on this. Anyway. It's done and it's all been settled with them. 

CIS: What do you mean, it's all been settled? 

Duo: This is the only way. It's just a matter of time before Zion is wiped out. Come with me. 

CIS: Stop it. Please do not do this to me, Duo. We can't... 

Duo: We can! I've come to my senses. You should do the same. I took the red pill because I wanted to know the truth... But I don't care about the truth anymore. What's real doesn't matter. What's important is how we live our lives. Are you listening to me? You know I'm right. 

CIS: But we can't go back, Duo, we know the truth now. 

Duo: We can forget all of this. 

CIS: Duo... 

Duo: I know how. Trust me. Don't be afraid to look into your heart. Say what you're really feeling. Tell me! 

CIS: I can't... I don't know! 

Duo: Running away won't change anything. 

CIS: You're the one who's running away. 

Duo: Stop pretending! 

CIS: Enough, Duo! I've had enough! 

Duo: There's no time. They are on their way. 

CIS: You betrayed us, didn't you? Operator, please! Get me out of here, right now! Operator, I need an exit! 

Duo: It's no use, I told you, I've blocked your signal. You won't stop me. This is your last chance. The choice isn't that hard. Come with me. 

CIS: You can forget about it, Duo; I won't look away from the truth, I can't. 

Duo: That's too bad. I'm sorry. 

[he charges at her with a sword, she seizes the sword between her palms, breaks off the tip and stabs him]

Duo: I wanted to go back with you. I love you. 

CIS: NO! 

[fade to black, CIS is unplugged]

Operator: Whoa, whoa, whoa, relax. You're okay. Easy, CIS. Settle down. He was just part of the training program. He's just a simulation. It's over. It was a test. Judgment, concentration, technique. High scores on every one. You okay? 

[she punches him]

CIS: I feel a lot better now. 

[she walks away towards the exit]

Operator: Except for that last part, I'd say she passed.
