Movie - The Matrix Youtube - https://youtu.be/aWaodAu6uLM Cypher:[answering the phone] Hello Trinity. Trinity: Cypher? Where’s Tank? Cypher: You know, for a long time I thought I was in love with you. I used to dream about you. You’re a beautiful woman Trinity. Too bad things had to turn out this way. Trinity: You killed them. Apoc: What? Switch: Oh God. Cypher: I'm tired, Trinity. Tired of this war, tired of fighting... I'm tired of this ship, being cold, eating the same goddamn goop every day. But most of all, I’m tired of that jack-off and all his bullshit. [jumps on Morpheus] Surprise asshole, I’ll bet you never saw this coming. Did you? God I wish I could be there when they break you. I wish I could walk in just when it happens so right then you’d know it was me. Trinity: You gave them Morpheus. Cypher: He lied to us Trinity, he tricked us. If you'd told us the truth, we would've told you to shove that red pill right up your ass. Trinity: That is not true Cypher, he set us free. Cypher: Free, you call this free? All I do is what he tells me to do. If I had to choose between that and the Matrix, I choose the Matrix. Trinity: The Matrix isn't real. Cypher: I disagree, Trinity. I think the Matrix can be more real than this world. All I do is pull a plug here, but there... you have to watch Apoc die. [Trinity looks at Apoc] Apoc: Trinity. [Cypher pulls his plug] Switch: [rushes to Apoc’s body] No. Cypher: Welcome to the real world huh baby? Trinity: But you’re out Cypher, you can’t go back. Cypher: Oh no, that’s what you think. They’re going to reinsert my body, I go back to sleep and when I wake up I won’t remember a goddamn thing. By the way, if you have anything terribly important to say to Switch, I'd suggest you say it now. Trinity: Oh no, please don't... Switch: Not like this. Not like this. [Cypher pulls her plug] Cypher: Too late. Trinity: Goddamn you Cypher! Cypher: Don't hate me Trinity... I'm just the messenger. And right now I’m going to prove it to you. If Morpheus was right, then there's no way I can pull this plug. I mean if Neo is the One, then there would have to be some kind of miracle to stop me. Right? I mean how can he be the One if he's dead? You never did answer me before if you bought into Morpheus’ bullshit. Come on, all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big pretty eyes and tell me... yes or no? [looks at Neo, tears slightly visible in her eyes] Trinity: Yes. Cypher: No! I don't believe it! Tank: Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn! Comment - No one saw this betrayal coming and it is the critical turning point that leads to a thrill-ride of a climax.

Good one, James. A classic example of a Trickster being revealed -- supposed ally, actually an enemy.
