The Architect told me that if I didn't return to the Source, Zion would be destroyed by midnight tonight.

*rolls eyes* Please. . . You and I may not be able to see beyond our own choices, but that man can't see past any choices.
Neo
Why not?
Oracle
He doesn't understand them - he can't. To him they are variables in an equation. One at a time each variable must be solved and countered. That's his purpose: to balance an equation.
Neo
What's your purpose?
Oracle
To unbalance it.

The Matrix Revolutions, transcript from Zion Mainframe.

Slight edits, mostly HTMLizing the transcript. Using <dl> -- the dictionary list -- to produce something script-like is a violation of protocol, but it looks prettier that way.

Self-evidently, it's actually supposed to be used for definitions, using the following format:

<dl>: Enclosing list
<dt>: Dictionary term, the word you're defining
<dd>: Dictionary definition, the, um, definition

But I like the formatting, which is why I used it for that FAQ entry, too.

True, could re-create something similar using stylesheets and a few different <p> classes to offset text, but why reinvent the wheel?

'sides, whenever I try, I end up with something that ain't quite round.

*ignoring bastardized HTML*
That's one of my favorite exchanges in the film.
