- - Block 30 - Now get up (http://www.fiveminute.net/forums/showthread.php?t=672)

KGMan - Regardless of the block we choose, I'm against giving Smith a pseudo-GAK here. As far as the first movie's concerned, Smith is dead and gone. Pesudo-GAKing him doesn't set anything up or add anything funny - so even if it's more "technically accurate", I say we keep it simple and don't try to pile too much into a 4-line block.

As much as I like the Princess Bride block, I think out of this lot I like Gatac's blocks the most:

Quote:

Sentinels: FRAZZA FRAZZA FRAZZA
Tank: Well, that's it, we're screwed. Last words, everyone.
Morpheus: I hate the Oracle, and her cookies hurt my teeth.
Trinity: I love you, Neo.
Tank: We few, we happy few, we band of buggered.

Smith: Ha! It is I, Agent Smith, who shall reign supreme. Today, the One. Tomorrow, the entire Matrix!
Neo: No, you don't.
Smith: Quick! Shoot him with implausibly slow bullets!
Neo: No, you don't.
Smith: Woah. Wait, I'm acting like Neo. Kill me now!
Neo: Happy to oblige.
Smith: GAK!
Neo: There, better?
Smith: Meh, I'm split.

Morpheus: Real nice, loverboy. Now GET BACK HERE!
Sentinels: FRAZZA FRAZZA FRAZZA
Morpheus: Well, here goes nothing.
EMP: SMITE!
Sentinels: GAK!
Trinity: Hey, who's feeling up my...oh my God. You're alive, Neo!
Neo: Yes, and I must say that's a nice - *SLAP* - okay, I deserved that.

Hmm... you know, it'd be possible to combine part of mine with one of NAH's:

Neo: Whoa. You're all numbery!
Smith: If you're so interested in numbers, count these bullets!
Neo: OK. *freezes bullets* One, two, three, four --
Smith: GASP! This is too stunning for me to absorb!
Neo: Here, let me help you.
Smith: GAK!

OK, folks, I believe we've got two blocks left to settle. Current tally is thusly:

Neo's Not Dead

Morpheus: Oh no. I really hoped it wouldn't come to this, folks, but I'm going to have to--
Trinity: Nooooo! Don't turn on the EMP, Neo is alive! I just know it!
Morpheus: Who said anything about turning on the EMP? Now let me concentrate...Up, Down, Right, Right, Down, Select, aaaand...
Neo: Un-GAK!
Trinity: Morpheus, I didn't know you knew the code for a 1-Up.
Morpheus: Much good it'll do Neo if I can't enter the Invincibility code quick enough.

Trinity: Really? That's kinda hot. *kisses Neo's corpse*
Neo: Un-GAK!
Morpheus: Hooray! Neo's alive again!
Trinity: You mean I just kissed an alive person? Ick! I need a toothbrush. . .

Morpheus: But what's he got here that's worth living for?
Trinity: True love.

2 votes: Pteryx, and I'm casting my vote here too.

Neo Kills Smith

Agents: Um, please?
Neo: Actually, I was looking for "abracadabra."
Smith: GAK!
Neo: Wow, it actually works.

3 votes: Standback, Xeroc and KGMan.

In addition to the above, PHJ has cast his vote(s) for a set of Gatac's blocks in the post directly above this one. The division there is somewhat different - Neo's death/rebirth and killing Smith all in one block - and includes the sentinals which were left out of most other blocks.

NAHT, to the best of my understanding, is still undecided, and Pteryx is looking for alternatives for Smith's death.

I vote for this one for Neo's not Dead

Okay, I'm casting my vote for Proton's Princess Bride block and Rayinne's Magic Word, seeing how my own block is feeling cumbersome and long under the light of repeated inspection.

Gatac

Gatac, that breaks the tie 'tween the Cheat Code block and the Mostly-Dead block. Which may well mean that this block too is finished. Yayness!

I vote for "Mostly Dead" and "Magic Word"
