    Bennett: I love listening to your little piss ant soldiers trying to talk tough; they make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.
    Arius: My soldiers are patriots.
    BennettYour soldiers mean nothing. Matrix and I can kill every one of them in a blink—you remember that.
    Arius.Are you trying to scare me, Mr. Bennett?
    Bennett.I don't need to try. When Matrix finishes the job, he will return for his daughter. Whether she lives or dies, it does not matter. Then he will hunt you. The only thing separating Matrix and you is me.
    Arius.I think you are afraid, Mr. Bennett. You fear Matrix.
    Bennett.Of course, I am smart. But I have an edge; I have his daughter...
