Hel Club - VIP lounge
• Merovingian: What in the hell? *laughs* I don't believe this.
• Merovingian: *to the DJ* Hey. Hey! *to Seraph* The prodigal child returns. L'ange sans ailes (Trans: The angel without wings). Are you here for the bounty, Seraph? *laughs heartily* Tell me, how many bullets are there in those guns? I don't know, but I don't think you have enough.
• Seraph: We only want to talk.
• Merovingian: Oh yes, I'm sure you do, you have fought through hell to do so, yes? I'll tell you what I'll do. Put down the guns and I will promise you safe passage out of here.
• Seraph: All three of us.
• Merovingian: Oh yes, yes. Of course.
• {Trinity, Seraph, and Morpheus put down the guns and are escorted up the stairs}
• Merovingian: *laughs* Quelle bonne surprise, n'est pas? (Trans: What a fine surprise, isn't it?) Who could've guessed we'd all be seeing each other so soon after our last meeting? A fate too kind. And since you, my little Judas, have brought them here, I can only surmise that the fortune teller has found herself another shell? Disappointing, but not unexpected. I do hope, however, she has the good manners to learn her lesson, and to remember that there is no action without consequence. And if you take something from me you will pay the price.
• Seraph: You know why we are here.
• Merovingian: *laughs* Come, now. What kind of question is this? Of course I know. It's my business to know. Some might think this a strange coincidence, but I do not. I am curious, though, as to how it actually happened. Do you know?
• Trinity: No.
• Merovingian: No? I didn't think so. But it is always best to ask.
• Morpheus: We want to make a deal.
• Merovingian: *laughs* Always straight to business, huh, Morpheus? Okay. I have something you want. To make a deal, you must have something I want, yes? And it so happens there is something I want. Something I've wanted ever since I first came here. It is said they cannot be taken, they can only be given.
• Morpheus: What?
• Merovingian: The eyes of the Oracle. *laughs*
• Merovingian: I have told you before, there's no escaping the nature of the universe. It is that nature that has again brought you to me. Where some see coincidence, I see consequence. Where others see chance, I see cost. Bring me the eyes of the Oracle, and I will give you back your saviour. That seems a particularly fair and reasonable deal to me. Yes, no?
• Trinity: I don't have time for this shit.
• {Hel Club upstairs fight}
• Trinity: You want to make a deal, how about this? You give me Neo, or we all die right here, right now.
• Merovingian: Interesting deal. You are really ready to die for this man?
• Trinity: *cocks gun* Believe it.
• Perseph: She'll do it. If she has to, she'll kill every one of us. She's in love.
• Merovingian: It is remarkable how similar the pattern of love is to the pattern of insanity.
• Trinity: Time's up. What's it gonna be, Merv?
• Merovingian: What in the hell? *laughs* I don't believe this.
