And, which colour would you have chosen? Why?

...you know, it's been so long since I've seen 'The Matrix' that I literally couldn't remember which pill was which. Had to rewatch the scene on YouTube. And even then, Morpheus was being a cryptic little mongo. For cripes sakes.

Like, can you just tell a guy if he's potentially choosing to be the Messiah? Set aside your tired 'Alice in Wonderland' metaphor and be honest with Neo. For flip's sake.

[EDIT: Cypher can piss off, too. What's his stupid sh*tty line? Something about 'kansas is going bye-bye'? Eat me. That's almost more disgusting to me than the whole murder and betrayal thing. Can not one of these gross unshowered dirtbags tell Neo what's happening without a stupid sci-fi/fantasy allusion? Ugh.

Can I just betray everyone and strike a deal with the robots to get my perfect life simulation instead?

If not, the red pill, I guess.
