View Full Version : Block 28 - My name is Neo


Zeke
02-23-2005, 01:07 PM
Not noticing the homeless man in the shadows, Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity approach the subway payphone. It rings, and Morpheus goes back. While waiting for the next ring, Trinity starts to tell Neo what the Oracle told her. Her hesitation and the distraction of a passing train give Smith time to transfer himself into the homeless man -- Trinity sees him just barely in time to pick up the ringing phone, and escapes as a bullet from Smith's gun shatters the phone booth. Panicking, she tells Tank he has to send her back, but he can't. All she can do is watch the screen and whisper "Run, Neo. Run." (He should change his name to Lola. And hey, anybody seen Minority Report? Everybody runs? Great movie. Tom Cruise sure beats Keanu Reeves as an action hero. But I digress.)

His exit destroyed, Neo must stand and fight. He and Smith shoot at each other till their bullets are gone, and then go at it hand-to-hand. After several minutes of brutal combat, Smith seems to have the edge -- he's got Neo pinned on the subway tracks, and there's another train coming. (Already?) Naturally it's no loss to Smith if his current body is crushed, but Neo's only got the one. Fortunately, he also is the One. At the last second, he hurls himself upward, smashing Smith into the ceiling. He escapes the train; Smith does not. Unfortunately, in the few moments Neo takes to catch his breath, the Agent takes a host on the train. Neo bolts for the escalator with Smith in hot pursuit.

Two scenes should do for this block, maybe three. Synopsis here (http://www.hackvan.com/pub/stig/scripture/matrix/34-my-name-is-Neo.txt).

(I really dig this part of the movie. Does it show?)

Trinity: My Turn, but first I need to delay.
Homeless Man: Bill and Ted? Coooo....*He becomes Agent Smith*
Trinity: Oh crap! *Disappears*
Agent Smith: So, where is your big toy now?
Neo: You mean Trinity or that really big gun?

Neo and Agent Smith fight
Agent Smith: You broke my shades!
Neo: Uh Oh!
Agent Smith: That was my best pair too.
Neo: Why don't you just replicate a new pair?
Agent Smith: I will, once this train runs you over, Mr Anderson.
Neo: Dude, My name is Neo!
Agent Smith: Huh? I thought it was Ted.

As always, am busybusybusy - the Gilbert and Sullivan show I'm in (Iolanthe, chorus, first bass) opens a week from Tuesday - yay!

Muchos Gracias to Zeke for opening up all the remaining blocks - ah! we can smell the end approaching!

I hope I'll be tackling more blocks in the next few days, but for the moment:

TRINITY: Neo, there's something we should talk about...
NEO: Ah, heck. Ok, lemmie explain: I've spent my whole life in a computer simulation, and I've never actually "been with a woman". So its kind of hard to communicate my feelings for you. Now, I know the cameras in your shower on the Neb may be a--
TRINITY: Wait, what cameras?!
GUN: Bang!
TRINITY: *teleport*
AGENT SMITH: Surprised to see me?
NEO: Actually, kind of relieved.

Neo: Don't you have anything better to do than abuse your powers?
Smith: Actually, no...
Neo: Oh, well, I guess we'll continue fighting then

Morpheus: Now, to safely...wait a minute. Where's the phone?

Trinity: That's a banana.
Neo: Great, now I'm stuck with *that* song again.

Ah, it continues. :) I like Gatac's
Morpheus: Disconnect.
Trinity: Disconnect.
Smith: BOOM!
Neo: Crud.
...so I'll only submit an entry for part 2:

Smith: Hah, gotcha! Now I just need a rope, dress, and wig for you.
Neo: No thanks. SPROING!
Train: TOOT! *splat*
Neo: Scratch one Agent!
Smith: Scratch is right.
Neo: Double crud. Exit, stage anywhere but here!

Naturally, edit or lose the "Double crud" part if the one-liners block isn't used. -- Pteryx

Vote time!

I'm for Gatc's first shot on this one.

Gatac's Crud Block:
Morpheus: Disconnect.
Trinity: Disconnect.
Smith: BOOM!
Neo: Crud.

Gatac's Headline Block:
Neo: Monkey Steals Lunchbag!
Smith: Elephant Tramples Snake!
Neo: Subway Smashes Agent!
Smith: Pseudo-GAK!
Neo: HA! Neo 1, Smith...
(Smith comes out of subway train.)
Neo: I bid you farewell, good Sir!

Since when did Standback decide which entries were put to a vote? None of mine were even considered

Standback
06-03-2005, 08:21 AM
I didn't decide anything, Neo... it's been a good four months since the last vote, but a voting round will generally start with somebody listing their favorites. And continue with further people listing their favorites. Any block of yours that was a favorite of yours - quote it and vote for it! That's what we're here for! :D

KillerGodMan

Actually, I vote for the following:

Smith: Time to Die
Neo: Uh-Oh, Tank, I need a subway train to hit him
Tank: Got you covered
Train: Squish!

I like all the blocks so far, actually, both those mentioned and those not mentioned. Will have to consider this further. :?

For the first block I choose Standback's version:

*** M0rph3us has quit #thematrix (Connection reset by peer)
*** Trinity333 has quit #thematrix (Connection reset by peer)
*** Neo_Da_1 has--
Agent Smith: Going somewhere, Mister Anderson?

For the second I'ld like to suggest a new block:

Neo: Bring it on!
Smith: Very well, Mr Anderson. 1772 Limehouse Boundary rules it is. I'll open with Euston Square.
Neo: Neasden!
Smith: South Kensington!
Trinity (watching from the ship): Oh no, he's flunting him!
Neo: Ah... uh... Kenton!
Smith: Do you hear that, Mr Anderson? That is the sound of a transverse poly-thaumic Alberquerque Left Turn shuffle. Goodbye, Mr Anderson.
Neo: My move.. is... Mornington Crescent! Now if you don't mind, I have an important phone call to take.
Smith: Come back here! I want a rematch!

Possibly it needs a bit of refinement.

So... we just post here fivers of the scene?

Morpheus: Bye bye. Don't get shot at.
Trinity: Come on. There's no one around but that helpless homeless guy.
"Homeless guy": Uh, yep. I'm not about to be infested by Smith. I'm helpless.
Neo: Sounds good.

Smith: Out of ammo, darn it!
Neo: They sent you to kill the biggest threat you'll ever face and you didn't bring more ammo?
Smith: Okay, you get run over now.

Neo: Ha ha! I have escaped your dasterdly plot!
Smith: I'll return! Maybe with buddies!
Neo: Pft. How many buddies could a guy like you possibly make? Certainly not the millions needed to fight me.

Heya Skiltch! Welcome to the forums - hope you stick around.

Yup, we just post fivers of the scene. Simple. Elegant. Than we argue about them for months. Simple. Elegant. :D

We're technically in a voting stage now - that is, deciding which of the blocks already suggested will be in the final fiver - but posting new suggestions is still fine. So write, post, vote, and have fun!

For Neo Is Left Behind, I definitely want Gatac's Crud block. His "Headline" block (which I think is really supposed to be a cheesy kung-fu move block) works well enough if nothing better comes along.

(And I guess no one likes my "rope, dress and wig" block... oh well.) -- Pteryx

I'll also go for "Gatac's Headline Block". :D

Just to confirm, yes, it's meant to be bad Kung-Fu moves.

Huh. I thought Kung-fu attack moves were generally nouns. "Lunchbag-Stealing Monkey Attack!". Or possibly "Fist of the Monkey-Stealing Lunchbag!". But whatever.

Yes, but I'm specifically lampooning Jackie Chan Adventures. (Which is, in itself, a parody of this practice.)

I vote for Standback's block for the first part. For the second part I vote for something along the lines of Skiltch's suggestion.

Smith: Out of ammo, darn it!
Neo: Ha! You came to kill the biggest threat you'll ever face and you didn't bring enough ammunition?
Smith: Just for that, you get run over now.

Neo: Urk...
Smith: Heheh. This one is too easy.

On a totally random note, whenever I see the title of this thread, these lines pop into my head:
"Her name is Neo and she dances on the sand/Just like that river twisting through the dusty land"

I'm a sick puppy, no? :D

Standback
06-26-2005, 03:33 PM
That's 4 for Gatac's "Crud" block, and 3 for my "#thematrix".

Gatac's kung-fu block has either two or three votes, as Pteryx's seemed rather half-hearted... And PHJ's Mornington Crescent has 2 (and it's starting to grow on me...)

If anybody has a deciding vote to cast, or a new suggestion to make, this would be a good time, folks. Ditto for block 30 (http://www.fiveminute.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=722&start=30).

Good? I meant great. Kira is amazing, wonderful, superb in every way, shape and form, and the only reason I refrain from describing her as "goddess-like" is because of all the second-rate lowlife goddesses out there. Kira is perfection such as the rest of us can only strive to attain.

Especially so, I may add, if she should happen to wrap up the $%@#-in' fiver.

Standback, do you seriously think NOW is the time to get on my back about FBC?

Standback
09-13-2005, 12:43 AM
Apoligies. Certainly didn't intend to get on your back - I will always, always, always take a "No" or a "Not now" for an answer.

I posted this once the 5MTNG anniversary was over - first time in a while you've *not* had a major site event running - and before I saw that Marc was leaving. And while Kira's leaving is sure to affect the entire site, I understood that this was some time coming and that you were in no way, ummm, suspending normal operations.

I am absolutely not saying or suggesting that you're neglecting the FBC, or that I'm upset about the long wait, or any other criticism of any kind. I understand and appreciate all that you've got to deal with, on the site and in real life, and whatever you do is fine by me. In the past, ocassional reminders have helped keep the FBC from being accidentally overlooked, and that's the only reason I posted the nudge - because I know sometimes when you don't update the FBC it's not because you don't want to or don't have time, it's sometimes because the FBC is not among the top things to leap to your mind on your list of "Things to be Done Soon."

Again, apoligies. Again, no offense meant. Something like "Hey Zeke, if you happen to have time now with the projects over, that'd be great, but if not, I totally understand" would indeed have been more appropriate - that, and nothing more, was all I intended.
