Commander: “I was just told you’ve cleared the Nebuchadnezzar for take off.”

Commander:                 “I was just told you’ve cleared the Nebuchadnezzar for take off.”
Councilor Hamann:       “That is correct.”

Commander:                 “Councilor, am I still in charge of our defense system?”
Councilor Hamann:       “Of course.”
Commander:                 “I believe I need every ship we have if we are going to survive this attack.”
Councilor Hamann:       “I understand that, Commander.”
Commander:                 “Then why did you allow the Nebuchadnezzar to leave?”
Councilor Hamann:       “Because I believe our survival depends on more than how many ships we have.”

Morpheus:                     “Commander, we need a presence inside the Matrix to awaitcontact from the Oracle.”
Commander:                 “I don’t want to hear that s-t!  I don’t care about oracles or prophecies or messiah.  I care about one thing: stopping that army from destroying this city and to do that I need soldiers to obey my orders.”
Morpheus:                     “With all due respect, commander, there is only one way to save our city.”
Commander:                 “How?”
Mortheus:                     “Neo.”
Commander:                 “G-d damn it, Morpheus.  Not everyone believes what you believe.”
Morpheus:                     “My beliefs do not require them to.”

Commander:                 “My men have begun fortifying the entrance with enough artillery to make our last stand.  Beyond that, there isn’t anything more I can do.”

Councilor Hamann:       “Commander, do you think that we have any chance of surviving?”
Commander:                 “If I were you, councilor, I wouldn’t ask me that question.  I would ask him…”
Councilor Hamann:       “Why?”
Commander:                 “Because he’s the one who believes in miracles.”
