[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, I think the first scene can't really be bettered from it's present form, but so far I don't like the 'tofu' or the 'Santa' versions of the second. My view is that the whole traitor aspect should be concentrated on, though I'm sure that something better than my attempt can be though of.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Cypher: When you reinsert me into the Matrix, I want to be rich and famous, perhaps even an actor.
Agent: Well, there are only few openings, and you will have to take what we got.
Cypher: What do you have available?
Agent: Well, we have an opening for A Hot Woman that comes with a Red Dress, or do you want a Homeless Guy in a Subway Station?
Cypher: Hmmmm
Agent: She's rich
Cypher: Deal![/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]If it's poll time, I vote for Derek's first try in its entirety:

[quote:post_uid0]Neo: Hey, Cypher, what're you doing?
Cypher: Are you implying I'm trying to betray everyone to the Agents?
Neo: No. What would make you think I think that?
Cypher: Oh, nothing.

Smith: If you betray everyone, we'll put you back in the Matrix.
Cypher: Make sure I'll be an actor. See if you can't put me in to some summer blockbuster about the nature of reality.
Smith: I'll try, but I don't think anyone would buy it. [/quote:post_uid0]

However - lots of good versions this time; I'm not going to be bullheaded about this one. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Something occurred to me on one of my walks: the Agents offer to name an aircraft carrier after Mr. Reagan.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*Crickets chirping*

I agree with Standback. This one gets my vote:

[quote:post_uid0]Neo: Hey, Cypher, what're you doing?
Cypher: Are you implying I'm trying to betray everyone to the Agents?
Neo: No. What would make you think I think that?
Cypher: Oh, nothing.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]:listens to sound of wind howling:

I don't have a personal preference for any of them; I think they're all quite good. Derek's would be fine with me...[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I like PointyHairedJedi entry:

*tumbleweed blows past*

This gets my vote, lol[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'll go for DD's version.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I quite liked this one. But then, they're all really good...and I know I haven't really been involved in any of this stuff, so I hope I'm not butting in or anything..[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You're not butting in. The more, the merrier.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I think its time to get this rolling again.

I will go with Derak's version[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Derek's version seems the most popular so far, though it lacks the Santa Claus gag. Any more thoughts?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Thoughts?

*Waits for a while*

Nope, I got nuthin'.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]As in Derek's [i:post_uid0]first[/i:post_uid0] block? Sounds good to me.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yup, indeed. The Santa Claus joke is expendable. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Derek's first block for me. It seems we have an agreement...[/color:post_uid0]

So be it, then.
