 ost_uid0]Cypher, who arranged to get separated from the others, calls Tank for an exit. Â Tank directs him to one, then sends the others to the same one when they call. Â He pulls Cypher out, and starts the phone ringing to bring out the others -- but the phone goes silent as soon as Neo picks it up. Â Cypher has blasted Tank and Dozer with an electric rifle, the latter fatally. Â Trinity calls the Operator on her cell phone and gets Cypher, who begins to rant about (1) how he used to love her, (2) what a jerk Morpheus is, and (3) how he believes the Matrix is now a better choice than the real world, and can be just as real. Â With that lead-in, he starts killing the rest of the team: first Apoc, then Switch. Â Contemplating Neo, he asks Trinity if she really believes Morpheus' "bullshit." Â She says yes, he protests, and at that point Tank blasts the crap out of Cypher with his own weapon. Â Back in control, he pulls the two surviving team members out.I'm really not sure how many scenes we need here. Â It's a critical part of the movie, and one of my favourites (Cypher was a backstabbing bastard, but I think there's some merit in his argument about the Matrix). Â I'll let you guys figure out the right length as you go. Â Synopsis is here and here. As for time limits and such, that system so far isn't working, so I'm not going to try anything formal this block. Â However, I've noticed you guys seem to post a lot in the first two days and then drop off. Â Here's my suggestion: after the first two days, if you don't have any more ideas of your own, why not comment on others' scenes or suggest tweaks to them? Â That would keep things active longer, I think.[/color ost_uid0] |

Apoc: GAK! Neo: Hm, something's wrong here, but I can't quite put my finger on it.[/quote ost_uid0]It'd be funnier if Tank wasn't first; though I guess we probably don't want to change that. Maybe just switch Tank and Dozer? (GAK, Pseudo-GAK, GAK, GAK)...[/color ost_uid0]

Now to figure out my own take on the first...[quote ost_uid0][bost_uid0]Cypher[/bost_uid0]: Tank, get me out of here! The others'll catch up![b ost_uid0]Tank[/bost_uid0]: Sure thing!

ost_uid0]Some good stuff so far  [quote ost_uid0]Cypher: Thanks for being so kind as to pull me out of there. Now I'll kill you for it.Tank: Erm, "GAK!" Dozer: GAK! Apoc: GAK! Mouse: I am [i ost_uid0]so[/iost_uid0] glad I'm not in this scene.Switch: GAK! Cypher: It's gonna take a miracle to save you now, Neo! Neo: I have just four words for you, Cypher: "I'm in the sequels". Tank: And I've got two words for you--Die, sucka! Cypher: One word: GAK![/quote ost_uid0][quote ost_uid0]Cypher: I know what you're thinking, "Am I really the One?" I wasn't sure, but since Morpheus said you are then I know you aren't. The question you gotta ask yourself is: do you feel lucky, punk?[/quoteost_uid0](Edit) Just remembered... [quote ost_uid0](Note that the second scene ends with Cypher, not Neo.)[/quoteost_uid0]Whether or not that was a typo, I thought it worked with Neo too. Everybody's dying, Trinity's yelling at Cypher, Cypher is ranting about how disillusioned he is, and Neo still isn't entirely sure that this isn't all part of the routine... :smile:[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Random thoughts. Damn, I'm tired.[b ost_uid0]Cypher:[/bost_uid0] Tank, gimme an exit quick, so I can kill everybody before you can stop me![b ost_uid0]Tank:[/bost_uid0] Cypher, did you just say--[b ost_uid0]Cypher:[/bost_uid0] Allow me to rephrase that...(preferably after the multiple GAK-block) [b ost_uid0]Trinity:[/bost_uid0] Dammit, Cypher, why are you doing this to us?[b ost_uid0]Cypher:[/bost_uid0] The poster's only wide enough for three characters.[b ost_uid0]Cypher:[/bost_uid0] Now Neo can't be the One, can he? Because I'm about to kill him, right, Trinity? And you can't do a thing--GAK![b ost_uid0]Tank:[/bost_uid0] Sheesh. It's number 7 on the Evil Overlord List.[/colorost_uid0]
