(Hey, the phpBB doesn't have proper thread subtitles! I'll have to look into that.)

Hey FBCers. I'm really, really sorry to have let this forum stagnate for so long. I've had a busy summer and a busier fall, but it's really not that hard to post these threads, so I shouldn't have let it stop me.

Regardless, I'm back, and this time it's to finish the damn thing. Since the "three days per thread" idea didn't work, I'm switching to the other plan I've been considering -- having multiple threads active at once. I'm going to start with 23, 24, and 25, and each time we finish one, I'll start the next one. I'm confident that this will finally increase the pace of FBC to something workable. So get ready: it's all downhill from here.

*

Morpheus is now being held in a high office building under guard. Agent Smith is clearly loving his victory; he's hamming it up, speechifying to Morpheus about the origins of the Matrix and the new role of humans. As he talks, Agent Brown (the one played by Paul Goddard! Woo!) is working on cracking Morpheus' mental patterns with injections, electrodes, and such. Agent Jones comes in to notify the others that "the insider" -- Cypher -- has failed. (Why does he have to come tell them in person? They're computer programs with mental linkups -- when one knows, shouldn't the others know? They even finish each other's sentences! In this scene! Ah well.) Smith, realizing that the surviving rebels can unhook Morpheus at any time, deploys Sentinels to their location.

Back on the Nebuchadnezzar, Tank shows the others what the Agents are doing to Morpheus' mind. He concludes that their only choice is to unhook Morpheus before he can give up the access codes to Zion, the last refuge of free humanity. Trinity reluctantly agrees, but just before they can go through with it, Neo stops them. He recognizes this as the moment the Oracle foretold, when he would have to choose between his life and Morpheus'. He tells them Morpheus was wrong to sacrifice himself for him, because he's not the One -- but he believes he can bring Morpheus back. Trinity demands to go with him.

Synopsis is here (http://www.hackvan.com/pub/stig/scripture/matrix/27-matters-of-belief.txt). This is surely a two-scene block.

Woohoo! :D

Here we go:

Morpheus: This is where I logic you into self-destructing, right?
Agent Brown: Nope. Now get assimilated already.

Trinity: Waah, Morpheus is a goner!
Tank: This is terrible news!
Neo: Ooo, I call dibs on the red M&M's! ...Um, I mean--
Trinity: Just for that, you're coming with me to rescue Morpheus.
Neo: Oops.

Agent Smith: You humans are seriously sick in the head. We present you with the perfect civilization and what do you do? You go nuts. So we figure, hey, you want war, cancer, political parties, we'll let you have them. Serves you ingrates right. I mean, it's not like you jerks actually *appreciate* our selfless efforts to help you or anything...
Morpheus: Awww. There there, go ahead and cry. It'll do you a world of good.
Agent Smith: *sob*

or

Agent Smith: Give me the codes to Zion
Morpheus: These aren't the codes you are looking for
Agent Smiht: These aren't the codes..HEY!
Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1 Agent Smith 0

Tank: Morpheus will not be able to use the Force for long

Smith: ...so, in conclusion, Humanity sucks.
Morpheus: That's not a very compelling argument.
Smith: Then I will need to speechify some more.
Morpheus: NOOO!

Tank: Well, so much for great leader Nr. 47. Help me carry him to the trash compactor, will you?
Neo: No! We mustn't let him die!
Trinity: Why?
Neo: Because I...love him!
Trinity: ...
Neo: In a purely platonic sense!
Trinity: I'll come with you if you just shut up right now.

Smith: Humanity is doomed. Like the Hindenburg, or that last Enterprise season.
Morpheus: My sources tell me this place is about to go boom.
Smith: Oh, the humanity!

Agent Smith: Did you know the first Matrix wasn’t a virtual reality simulation at all? We just set up a bunch of PCs with “Everquest” and plopped the humans in front. Most of them kind of noticed when we tried to jam a probe into the back of their heads. Most of them.
Morpheus: Gurrk. Darrrgh. Argh.
Agent Smith: Don’t talk about my mother that way!

Or

Agent Smith: This is the absolute pinnacle of human society you see before you. This is the absolute ultimate version of the Matrix. *cough* Seventimesover *cough*
Morpheus: What was that?
Agent Smith: Nothing. Increase the Evil Drugs of Truth dosage.
Morpheus: Oh My! What does that do?

Agent Smith: And reason #532 why programs kick ass on humans...
Agent Brown: Maybe the password is "morpheus", nope, "12345", nope, "pie", nope, dang - out of ideas.
Agent Jones: Cypher failed.
Agent Smith: No Earpiece-messaging?
Agent Jones: I keep running out of minutes.

Tank: So, you see, if you take the derivative of this alpha-wave here, then you can clearly see the inverse transduction in place on morpheus's cranium.
Neo: English?
Tank: They're hacking his mind.
Neo: For this, I must consult the Oracle's advice. (Takes out a fortune cookie and reads it) I must go into the Matrix to save Morpheus!
Trinity: That says "Your Lucky Lotto Numbers: 3 8 12 35 47 56"

Rayinne

10-30-2004, 07:17 AM

Smith: And reason #68 why we are superior - Agent Brown's going to read the codes right out of your head.
Morpheus: So, what are you picking up?
Brown: Something about Smith turning into a Cthulian fiend and accosting Neo.
Morpheus: Hah! Morpheus 1, Agents 0.
Smith: Wait, we've lost Jones's signal.
[Jones enters]
Jones: No, not fries with that, Cypher GAKked!
Smith: I knew we should have gone with a name brand collective.

Tank: We're screwed. Any minute now, the Agents are going to break out the red M&Ms.
Trinity: There's no choice. We've got to pull the plug.
Neo: Wait, go back to the part about the M&Ms. If I were to save him, would he let me have some?

Trinity: But what if you get trapped as well?
Neo: I have a wireless connection to the Matrix. I can get out anytime someone uses the microwave.

Tank: We need to pull the plug on Morpheus, or else Zion will be in danger.
Neo: We could always go rescue him.
Tank: Who and what army?
Neo: I will be The One that will go in and rescue him.
Trinity: I don't think so. I love you too much to let you go alone.
Neo: Aww man, I wanted to have all the fun.
Trinity: Well, someone needs to go watch you have fun.

I like NAH's second Morpheus block. Maybe it should be shortened a bit, but that would be my choice. I have a selfish preference for my "name-brand collective" line, but it doesn't mesh with that block at all.

As for the Tank/Neo/Trinity scene, nothing jumps out at me yet.

PointyHairedJedi

11-07-2004, 12:45 PM

Out of this lot, I like NeoMatrix's block the best -

Agent Smith: Give me the codes to Zion
Morpheus: These aren't the codes you are looking for
Agent Smiht: These aren't the codes..HEY!
Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1 Agent Smith 0

Tank: Morpheus will not be able to use the Force for long
Trinity: Pull the plug, we must
Neo: NO! I will go in and save him
Trinity: Silly, you are. Me, go too, yes I will
(Optional) Neo: Fine, but next time I get to be Yoda

And an attempt of my own, for good measure:

Smith: The first Matrix was perfect... too perfect. Some thought that COBOL was insuffient to describe your perfect world, but I think your puny brains could simply not accept that level of pink fluffiness. J00 w1ll t3ll us t3h c04dz, M0rph3us!
Brown: Still nothing. W3'd b3773r 1ncr3453 7h3 d05463.
Jones: There's a problem. Our Cypher has been cracked.
Smith: 7h3n w3 mu57-- ahem, then we must release the sentinels at once.

Tank: We've no choice. We've got the pull the plug before the Agents break him.
Neo: But we can rescue him! For you see, I have a cunning plan...
Trinity: Does this plan by any chance involve walking in the front door all guns blazing?
Neo: Um, maybe?

2 more for your consideration

Smith: There is something that has been bugging me, and I need your help.
Morpheus: If it's about those codes, I'm not helping you.
Smith: No, it's something more important.
Morpheus: What can be more important to you than getting into Zion?
Smith: Well, I need to find out the answer to the question, "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1, Agent Smith 0!

Tank: Morpheus will not be able to use the Force for long.
Trinity: Pull the plug, we must.
Neo: NO! I will go in and save him. He's my friend. I've got to help him.
Trinity: If you go now, help him you could. But you would destroy all for which he has fought and suffered.
Neo: You don't understand. I'm not the One.
Trinity: ...Oh. Well, in that case, I'd better come along to see to it you don't screw up.

Agent Smith: You humans are seriously sick in the head. We present you with the perfect civilization and what do you do? You go nuts.

Pick just one Morpheus--Smith scene if this is too long. ;)

11-15-2004, 04:59 AM

Huh, wha? We're back?! :shock:

WOOHOO! :D

Anyway, I like NAH's long speechification/Smith crying block too -- funniest of the bunch IMO. :) As for the Real World block, there's a couple of good ones:

Tank: We're screwed. Any minute now, the Agents are going to break out the red M&Ms.
Trinity: There's no choice. We've got to pull the plug.
Neo: Wait, go back to the part about the M&Ms. If I were to save him, would he let me have some?

Tank: We've no choice. We've got the pull the plug before the Agents break him.
Neo: But we can rescue him! For you see, I have a cunning plan...
Trinity: Does this plan by any chance involve walking in the front door all guns blazing?
Neo: Um, maybe?

The latter has the distinct advantage of potentially letting us cleanly skip the "guns, lots of guns" scene. -- Pteryx

Neo: But we can rescue him! For you see, I have a cunning plan...

Oh... More blackadder! :)

Maybe something like:

Neo: But we can rescue him! For you see, I have a cunning plan...
Trinity: Of course you do...
Neo: Well, you know how everyone always sais that there's a bullet with your name on it. Well I thought, that if I owned the bullet with my name on it, I'm safe, because I'm not about to shoot myself. And the chances of there being two bullets with my name on it are very small indeed.

Pteryx

11-17-2004, 07:21 AM

Sudden brainstorm here:

Tank: I believe Zion's doomed if the Agents succeed at hacking Morpheus's mind.
Trinity: I believe the only way to save the resistance is to pull the plug.
Neo: I believe I can bring him back with a frontal assault.
Tank: I believe that's suicidal.
Neo: I believe it hardly matters anyway since I'm not the One.
Trinity: I don't believe it.

I do still like the paragraph I suggested for the Morpheus & Smith (now that would be an odd lawyer firm ;)) part:
Agent Smith: You humans are seriously sick in the head. We present you with the perfect civilization and what do you do? You go nuts. So we figure, hey, you want war, cancer, American Idol, we'll let you have them. Serves you ingrates right. I mean, it's not like you jerks actually *appreciate* our selfless efforts to help you or anything...
Morpheus: Awww. There there, go ahead and cry. It'll do you a world of good.
Agent Smith: *sob*

But I also like NeoMatrix's suggestion:
Agent Smith: Give me the codes to Zion.
Morpheus: These aren't the codes you are looking for.
Agent Smith: These aren't the codes...HEY!
Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1, Agent Smith 0!

And I like Karen's Ziti 's second block as well:
Agent Smith: This is the absolute pinnacle of human society you see before you. This is the absolute ultimate version of the Matrix. *cough* Seventimesover *cough*
Morpheus: What was that?
Agent Smith: Nothing. Increase the Evil Drugs of Truth dosage.
Morpheus: Oh my! What does that do?although Smith's second line might be polished a bit to clarify the change between speaking to Morpheus and speaking to...whoever.

Actually I like just about everything that's been suggested here (and elsewhere), but those are the three that seem best for that scene.

As for the scene with Neo and the others, I like either my own M&Ms scene or NeoMatrix's Yoda scene.

So, breaking it down (and with apologies for any inexcusable goofs I may make):

For the first half:

Morpheus: Awww. There there, go ahead and cry. It'll do you a world of good.
Agent Smith: *sob* has one vote plus mine for a current total of 2.

For the second half:
Tank: We've no choice. We've got to pull the plug before the Agents break him.
Neo: But we can rescue him! For you see, I have a cunning plan...
Trinity: Does this plan by any chance involve walking in the front door all guns blazing?
Neo: Um, maybe? has 3 1/3 votes currently.

Tank: Morpheus will not be able to use the Force for long.
Trinity: Pull the plug, we must.
Neo: NO! I will go in and save him.
Trinity: Silly, you are. Me, go too, yes I will.
Neo: Fine, but next time I get to be Yoda. currently has 1 vote.

Any more votes out there? (Note--There are several other blocks which Standback liked, may as well go back and look at them too. Also a note to myself--I still have a vote to cast on the second half.)

Agent Smith: These aren't the codes...HEY!
Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1, Agent Smith 0!

Tank: Morpheus will not be able to use the Force for long.
Trinity: Pull the plug, we must.
Neo: NO! I will go in and save him.
Trinity: Silly, you are. Me, go too, yes I will.

It has my vote too.

I think that's how it stands so far. Correct me if I counted wrong.

Nobody's corrected you, so I guess you counted right!

Voting for the first half of the block has remained about the same, with the first choice still leading by a slight margin. But the second choice for the second half is close to pulling off a shocking come-from-behind upset. Currently I would tend to consider them tied, since Standback would presumably cast a full vote for choice A if he were here ( :( ). So let's especially have a few more votes on the last half in particular, okay? :)

I'm not completely gone. I'm just... preoccupied. Finals period, I'm afraid, keeps me locked away in my room studying instead of hanging out in the computer lab. Calculus III exam tomorrow... ::shudder:: wish me luck...
I've also been frequenting the forums less because, well, FBC has been moving very very very slowly, and I usually don't have time to write longer posts in other threads.

In any case, my votes are indeed to #1A and #2A. YAY!

Good luck, Standback!

So we do indeed need a few more votes, at least for the second half anyhow.

Then my vote will settle it, and I vote for the first version. Block closed. Hurrah!
