Shadow Script Part 3

He looks at what she's seeing. His gaze halts on NEO. He's concentrating on TANK and his apparent girlfriend, who seems to be consoling him. He turns to see CHOI and DUJOUR, does a double-take, and his jaw drops open.

NEO

"You?"

CHOI is quick to resume his cool.

CHOI

"In the flesh, so to speak."

DUJOUR

"Welcome to the real world, Neo. I'm glad you're here."

CHOI

"What do you think, Dujour? Should we take him with us?"

DUJOUR

"Definitely."

CHOI

"Morpheus?"

MORPHEUS turns from Niobe and a Zion officer. He addresses Trinity, glancing at the others.

MORPHEUS

"Go on ship's liberty. Meet me in the Dead Duck at 21:00 hours, drunk or sober."

EXT. ZION STREET

It's like a valley floor running between two gigantic walls of rock that are nearly vertical, coming together in an elongated archway. Carved into the street level are innumerable stores and shops, above them, apartments and balconies that rise to the top of the arch. People flow through the street. Their clothes are homespun wool, denim, and leather. Dyes and color are absent. Carved into the solid granite walls, between homes and around windows and doors, are intricate and beautiful carvings.

NEO is lead down the street by CHOI, DUJOUR, and TRINITY, and a few other rebels. The push through a mult-culti crowd of people, humanity melting into one race.

CHOI

"See, man? This is home. This is the main street. One of 'em, anyway. Almost everyone is a fighter. Sometimes, even the kids.

THEY pass an outdoor workshop where youngsters are assembling small machines.

CHOI

"Our energy as a people is directed toward liberation. Check it out, here are some newcomers."

A group of frail, buzz-cut androgonites pass by them. They look at NEO, recognizing him as one of them, a new comer.

NEO

"Where did they come from?"

CHOI

"Energy plant we raided on our last mission. There were some survivors."

NEO

"How are their minds freed from the Matrix?"

TRINITY

"With difficulty."

DUJOUR

"If at all."

They step into a club, Dead Duck. It's a sailor joint. Lots of wood, beer on tap, and rum. Crewmembers of other ships recognize the rebels, greeting them, as they eye Neo. They take a booth in the corner. The waitress arrives.

WAITRESS

"Welcome home, brothers and sisters. First day back?"

CHOI

"Yes, lovely."

WAITRESS

"On the house, then. Four rums?"

TRINITY

"Make it eight."

The waitress smirks and leaves. TRINITY turns to CHOI.

TRINITY

"Any casualties?"

CHOI lights up and takes a drag.

CHOI

"Two. Sidewinder and Left-right."

DUJOUR

"I can't believe Cypher turned. Bastard."

CHOI

"He who loses faith…"

DUJOUR

"Neo, we monitored your fight. Did you really gain enlightenment?"

NEO shrugs.

NEO

"All I know is I kicked Smith's ass."

CHOI

"Fuckin' finally, Jesus Christ. It's about time we iced that bastard."

DUJOUR

"Yeah, we finally won against an agent?"

CHOI

"I guess 1 'n 298 isn't a bed record, huh?"

The drinks arrive. Tall glasses of rum.

CHOI holds his glass aloft. They raise their glasses to toast.

CHOI

"Live free or die."

ALL (save NEO)

"Live free."

They slam the rum back, and slam empty glasses on the table. NEO can barely manage to sip his.

NEO

"God, how do you do that?"

TRINITY

"You've never drank before."

DUJOUR

"Not for real."

CHOI

"You want to know what being The One means?"

NEO

"What?"

CHOI

"One drink and you're toast."

DUJOUR

"Neo, you know what else you've never done?"

She glances at Trinity, who falls back against the seat, turning to suppress a smile. Choi cracks up.

NEO

"Yeah."

DUJOUR

"Yeah, you've never done it."

CHOI

"And virtual doesn't count, man, doesn't fucking count."

NEO

"Well. I'll drink to that."

CHOI

"Hear, hear."
