[color=#000000ost_uid0]^ *snirk* Â I can't resist that.

[bost_uid0]Boy:[/bost_uid0] You must realize the truth... there is no spoon.
[bost_uid0]Matrix:[/bost_uid0] Are there forks?
[bost_uid0]Boy:[/bost_uid0] Yes, Neo. Â The forks will be with you... always.

...but seriously now. Â (Relatively speaking, anyways.)

It's a shame the scene about the five Ones isn't in the movie, because I find that variation on the MP "sank into the swamp" joke hilarious. Â But, it's not, so there. Â

I actually like the version of the first scene where Neo wants to hear about the boy's spoon, but (a) it seems odd to follow that with a Spoon Boy scene and (b) it also seems odd for Neo to want to listen to the boy but not the others. I'd pick something along the lines of:

[bost_uid0]Neo:[/bost_uid0] So what did the Oracle tell you?
[bost_uid0]Morpheus:[/bost_uid0] I forgot most of it. I was eating the cookies she made.
[bost_uid0]Cypher:[/bost_uid0] She told me not to eat steak. Stupid Oracle.
[bost_uid0]Trinity:[/bost_uid0] She said that I--
[bost_uid0]Neo:[/bost_uid0] Hey, my favorite noodle house!

I also like the "knifey-spooney" joke... which is why I used it in a fiver, so I find it a little old. [/colorost_uid0]
