Just for record I'm a complete beginner. Perhaps it's obvious. So please
be patient. I've never written fanfic before and write in English was
something very new for me. English is not my mother tongue but I do my
best. And I want to improve so please if you find any huge mistakes write
me. So review! Be honest. I accept both positive and negative comments
(and not just about grammar of course!)

Chapter Three: Mr. Perfect Program
Smith was driving in silence. He didn't want to talk, Sam didn't dare to say something. But sitting in silence was not Sam's style and he was who knew the way to that building. He glanced at Smith who didn't show too much emotion. It was a good sign if we talk about an Agent. Sam wanted to say something but Smith was faster: 1. "Don't you dare say anything! "
2. "But I have to because you don't know the way to the warehouse."
3. "Then tell me the way! I don't want any small talk! Just directions, do
you understand?"
4. "All right! But don't be angry with me. It wasn't my fault. If my memory
serves me correctly it was YOU who wanted to come back at that
restaurant. "
5. "That restaurant was almost empty when I left you there. I don't know
what you did but it was full of people when I came back. But it doesn't
matter. Everybody survived it even that John guy. Even you!"
6. "Turn to the left and drive along that road. It will lead us out the
city to an old wooden house. At the house turn to the right and we will
be there in 20 minutes."
They finally arrived at the warehouse. It wasn't dark yet. Smith quickly
checked the building and walked around the neighborhood with Sam.
Everything was calm and right. Yet. Walking across the area they started
talking. Smith was just staring straight ahead and never glanced aside.
1. "How many people will come?" - asked Smith.
2. "About 10-15. And how many program will come?"
3. "More. Will you come with the leaders?"
4. "Yes, I have to. And what about you?"
5. "Don't worry, Mr. Potter! I will be here too with other agents to defend
our representatives. But I still think it's a bad idea."
6. "So do I, Smith. So do I. But we have to try. "
They sopped. Sam looked at Smith who seemed to be lost in thought.
1. "What's wrong Smith? You don't look very enthusiastic."
2. "I think there will be a problem. I fe... I know it."
He was silent for a moment. Did he almost say "Feel"?
1. "But it seems that my superiors have an other way of thinking. But I
still don't trust humans."
2. "I thought you trusted me." - said Sam.
3. "No!"-said Smith and turned towards Sam. - "I talked to you, I listened
to you but I don't trust you. And I think, Mr. Potter, it is mutual."
4. "Why do you say it?"- asked Sam. He didn't expected it. Smith was
sharper than he thought.
5. "You conceal something important from me. I know that you didn't tell me
something. It's something about you not about the Resistance or Zion or
this meeting."
6. "Why do you think I have to tell you everything about me. Peoples always
have secrets. Something kept hidden from others."
7. "Mr. Potter we are in a very dangerous situation. There's no need for
secrets at all."
8. "You will never understand this Smith."
9. "Well, Mr. Potter, now you are underestimating me. It's getting worse,
don't you think?"
10. "It's no use threatening me, Smith. "
11. "No. I'm just trying to show you the right way. Keeping things hidden
from me or underestimate me isn't the right thing to do."
12. "It's something personal, Smith. That's why you won't understand it. At
least not yet. Even if you think you are perfect you still lack the
ability to understand human feelings."
13. "Even humans can't understand their own feelings."
14. "That's right. It's true. But you can't accept them. You and your
species. You think emotions are errors. But it's not true!"
Smith was now silent. He hated when Sam was right. But he was right.
Dammit!
1. "All right, Mr. Potter. I let you keep your secrets for a while. Now I
have more important things to do. There is a time and place for
everything. This is not the time and place to discuss it."
2. "Very well, Smith! As usual you can't admit defeat."
3. "Mr. Potter. I will ignore this last statement and lot of others because
I don't want to kill you. I was ordered not to do it. But don't overdo
it!"
Sam understood that he overstepped the bounds.
1. "Don't worry Smith! Everything comes out in time."
2. "I hope so. It's for your own good". - said Smith and started walking.
3. "But we are still friends, aren't we?"
4. "We are NOT fiends at all. I haven't got any friends. We just know each
other. I just put up with you. That's all." - said Smith still walking.
5. "Why? A friend is someone who is not an enemy and will not harm you or
cause trouble for you."
Smith stopped and waited until Sam caught up with him. He looked him in
the eye and said:
1. "You cause me more trouble than you think. As humans say you are a pain
in the ass. You talk too much sometimes about nothing. It's really
exhausting to be with you. I'm not required sleeping but I think tonight
I will have to sleep a little."
2. "Say no more Smith! But you and your likes forced me into this situation
and you don't make it easier, Mr. Perfect Program."
3. "I've come to believe that you take pleasure in provoking me."
4. "No, it's not true. Believe me, Smith. But sometimes your behavior just
call for comment. I'm sorry, but I can't resist temptation. I feel an
irresistible impulse to make a remark. But I don't want to hurt you. It's
just constructive criticism. Don't take it the wrong way!"
5. "Mr. Potter. Be happy that you can be the only human being in this world
who can talk me in a way you do and survive it." - said Smith and looked
at Sam. - "So what do you think?"
6. "I think I didn't harm you and don't deserve a bullet in my head just
because I told you my opinion. You can't kill everyone who you don't like
or who you don't agree with. You should think first and shoot second if
it's necessary. But you should try to leave out the shoot part."
7. "Have you finished?"
8. "No Smith! You know and I know that you are more than just a "find and
destroy" program. That's why they chose you."
9. "Stop it, Mr. Potter!"
10. "You can feel Smith. And it's not an error. You are a sentient program
after all. I could see it in the restaurant and I can see it now. It is
anger what you feel now but if you can feel anger you can feel even love.
All you need is someone who squeeze it out from you."
11. "Mr. Potter. You went too far!"
12. "Smith..."
13. "No! Stop it! Right now!" - said Smith who started to get angry.
14. "You are scared."
15. "What?"
16. "You are terrified by emotions. You are afraid that emotions would make
you weak."
Now Smith was really furious. He pushed Sam to the building's wall, drew
out his Desert Eagle and held it to Sam's head:
1. "Let that be a last warning to you: I'm NOT terrified by anything or
anybody! Do you understand me? Do you? I was ordered to watch over you
because your information is very important to us. But I wasn't ordered to
like it. And I don't like this at all. The more time I spend among people
the more I pick up from their things. I know this but that's all. I'm
still an Agent and nothing or nobody can change this fact or change me!
Burn it into your memory and let me be!"
Sam was very scared. He expected it. He had to tell this to Smith. And from his reaction he knew he was right. This agent had started to feel but he didn't know what to do with these emotions.
Smith lifted him up so his feet didn't touched the ground. Sam hardly
breathed now. Smith realized it and quickly released his hold on his
shirt and put him down on the ground. Then Sam collapsed and propped
himself up. He needed some minutes to gather his strength for standing
up. Smith holstered his gun, took a step back and finally said:
1. "I hope you understood me, Mr. Potter. I don't want to warn you again."
2. "I understood. You could be very convincing Mr. Smith."
3. "The name is AGENT Smith. And never provoke me! I mustn't kill you but I
could behave in another way, not in a tolerant way."
4. "I understand you, Smith and I'm sorry that I hurt your feel... your
circuits or whatever you have.
5. Well, Mr. Potter I think you should think first and speak second if it's
necessary. But you should try to leave out the speak part."
6. "Is it an advise?"
7. "No. Not just an advice. It's the only possible way to survive." - said
Smith and clutched Sam's collar with both hands and "helped" him to his
feet again. Sam dusted his clothes and asked:
8. "Who was ordered to watch over me next Friday? I hope not you."
9. "No. It's not my task to baby-sit you. But have no fear, Mr. Potter. The
Mainframe will find you someone suitable."
10. "Well, Smith, I think I have to go back now."
11. "And how?"
12. "There is an old phone booth opposite to the building next to the lamp
post. It will be suitable."
13. "This is in the opposite direction so here we must part."
14. "Yes."
15. "Well, good bye, Mr. Potter. If there would be any problem you know how
to find me. But I hope we don't meet until Friday."
"Yes, good bye, Smith."
