Edit2: probably solved. I didn’t understand that Brown is talking about Neo and Trinity’s attack.
Agent Smith is questioning Morpheus, trying to extract the codes to the Zion mainframe. Neo and Trinity have attacked the building in which Morpheus is being held, trying to save him.
(Office)
Agent Jones: What were you doing?
Agent Brown: He doesn’t know.
Agent Smith: Know what?
It feels too poignant to have a machine say this without there being something else to it.
Edit: what I mean is, a machine wouldn’t “retort” or be passive aggressive like this.
Oh!!! Well don’t I have egg all over my face. 😂
I thought it was a passive aggressive comment on Jones’s question. 🤣
I also felt the connotation that it would be unthinkable for the other agents to want to be disconnected from each other/the network, so they were a little shocked he even removed the ear piece.
As in “He doesn’t know what he’s doing”?
Yeah
What perplexes me is why the piece of software disconnects itself in order to interrogate morphus and confess his feelings. It’s really agent smith that is ‘the one’, undergoing the epiphany, a bit of software that has become sentient (or at least homo) enough to have shame and anger, and seek independence. Which is, of course, impossible.
