The Oracle:
Well, come on, I ain't gonna bite you. Come around here, let me have a look at you. [removes glasses] My goodness, look at you. You turned out all right, didn't you? How do you feel?
Neo:
I, uh-
The Oracle:
I know you're not sleeping. We'll get to that. Why don't you come and have a sit this time?
Neo:
Maybe I'll stand.
The Oracle:
Well, suit yourself.
Neo:
[hesitates, then sits] I felt like sitting.
The Oracle:
I know. So... let's get the obvious stuff out of the way.
Neo:
You're not human, are you?
The Oracle:
Well, it's tough to get any more obvious than that.
Neo:
If I had to guess, I'd say you were a program, from the Machine world. [looks at Seraph] So is he.
The Oracle:
So far so good.
Neo:
But if that's true, that could mean you're a part of the system, another kind of control.
The Oracle:
Keep going.
Neo:
I suppose the most obvious question is: how can I trust you?
The Oracle:
Bingo. It is a pickle, no doubt about it. Bad news is there's no way you can really know if I'm here to help you or not, so it's really up to you. Just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it. Candy?
Neo:
... You already know if I'm going to take it.
The Oracle:
Wouldn't be much of an oracle if I didn't.
Neo:
But if you already know, how can I make a choice?
The Oracle:
Because you didn't come here to make the choice. You've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. [Neo eventually takes the candy] I thought you'd have figured that out by now.
Neo:
Why are you here?
The Oracle:
Same reason. I love candy.
Neo:
But why help us?
The Oracle:
We're all here to do what we're all here to do. I'm interested in one thing, Neo, the future. And believe me, I know: the only way to get there is together.
