Block 30 - Now get up

[Zeke]

The Agents confirm that Neo is dead. Morpheus is still too shell-shocked to fire the EMP, but Trinity is strangely calm. She talks to Neo, finally telling him what the Oracle said to her: that she would fall in love with the One. And so Neo can't be dead, she tells him, because she loves him. She proves it with a kiss --

-- and like Snow White, Neo comes back to life. Tank and Morpheus watch in amazement as Neo's monitors start humming again. "Now get up," Trinity whispers.

In the Matrix, Neo does just that. The Agents are already leaving, but Smith hears him and turns, only to stare in disbelief at the dead man walking. All three open fire, and Neo could dodge the bullets, but now he doesn't have to. He raises a hand and they freeze; he lowers it and they drop to the floor. Smith tries the direct approach next, and Neo smacks him back with one hand, sending him flying backwards. As if that weren't enough, Neo dives into Smith and explodes him from inside. (This bit should be handled by someone who's seen Reloaded, as it's ripe for foreshadowing.) He re-forms and faces Brown and Jones; they exchange a look and run for it.

Neo stands for a moment savouring his victory, but the ringing phone snaps him out of it. He picks it up and awakens on the ship. Morpheus immediately fires the EMP, and not a second too soon, because the Sentinels have just burst into the inhabited rooms. The pulse pulses and the machines drop to the floor. The crisis finally past, Neo and Trinity have their first both-alive kiss.

This block will take three scenes at least; four or even five would not be a tragedy. Final synopsis here and here.

"Final?" you ask. "Doesn't Neo have a monologue and then fly off?" Yes, he does, and I've decided I'm going to do it myself. I'll also do a scene for the Trinity/Cypher voice-only conversation at the very start to bookend the fiver. But in between, it's all you. If anyone is really bothered by this idea, I'll reconsider, but it's something I'd like to do.
