Brotherly Talk
Jones- You went shopping!?
Brown- My God!
Smith- Yeah, I went shopping.
I sat on my couch, my earpiece on. Catalyst was playing with some of his new toys. And I had on my new tie.
Brown- Damn! I hate shopping.
Smith- It was a most unpleasant experience. . . It freakin sucked.
Jones- I can't believe it!
Brown- Why in God's name did you go shopping?
Smith- I needed a tie.
Jones- A Tie!?
Brown- That's it!?
It was good to talk to them. I just needed a little rest from my little adventure.
Smith- I am never going back there. Those humans are crazy.
Brown- Yeah, I can't believe all the adults that dress up as Agents for Halloween.
Jones- Oh god, I hate Halloween.
Smith- I saw some costumes at that store.
Brown- With the teenagers?
Smith- Yes.
They started laughing.
Jones - I can't believe you did that!
Smith- It was most pleasurable.
Jones- I hate those stores.
Brown- Making money off our image.
Jones- Disgusting.
Brown- We should get some money at least.
Jones- They didn't even ask us!
Smith- Why don't we get any of the profits?
Jones- Well, because we are still technically programs
Brown- Thus not real
Jones- Humans think they don't need to ask.
Smith- Catalyst no!
My cat jumped up onto the coffee table, almost spilling my water.
Jones- Catalyst?
Smith- My cat.
Brown- Agent that causes an important event to start?
Smith- Yes.
Jones- You sure have a way of naming, Smith!
Brown- You should have named it Mr. Anderson!
Jones- Yeah!
Smith- Catalyst is its name.
Jones- Fine.
Brown- Cats and I never mix.
Jones- Oh yeah, remember when that cat jumped and - -
Brown- Stop, bad memories.
Smith- A cat jumped on you?
Brown- Not just me, my head! I swear it seems like they're out to get me. The only way I can get away from them is in the real world. It's so bizarre.
Smith- You've been in the real world?
Brown- Of course
Jones- Brown and I go all the time.
Smith- Really?
I wanted to know more. I leaned back on my couch. I never have seen the outside world. I'm sure it's a wasteland of a world. That is what my files say. But still.
Brown- It's interesting.
Jones- At first it was shocking
Brown- But you get used to it
Jones- The real sky is much better than this one
Brown- true. Plus it doesn't smell as bad.
Smith- What? You two smell them too?
Jones- Yes, but it isn't as bad as it is here.
Brown- You should join us some time, Smith
Jones- We could go get lunch
Brown- Like a family reunion.
Go to the real world. A couple of weeks ago the thought disgusted me. But if I were to see them. . . Could I?
Smith- The real world?
Jones- Yeah, but you have to sign this form every time you go.
Brown- and those android bodies they give us run out of power to quick.
Smith- They upload you into an android right?
Jones- yes.
Could I do it? For them? But I couldn't. . .
Smith- I don't know. . .
Jones- Come on Smith.
Brown- It would be nice to see you.
What do I do?
There was a knock on my door.
Smith- One moment
I opened it. Isis!? She stood there, wearing all black, and her black hair in her face.
Smith- What day is it?
Jones + Brown- Saturday.
Smith- Damn.
Isis- How dare you Smith!
Jones- What the
Brown- Hell was that?
Isis jumped up and snatched the earpiece right off my ear, God I didn't know she could do that. She held it to her mouth.
Isis- He'll call you back!
She threw it on the couch, and looked at me.
Isis- How dare you, Former Agent Smith! You could have waited for me to come! But no, you had to get it yourself! And you embarrass me in front of my friends, with a chocolate stain on your shirt!
God. She looked damn angry. Wait. She's just a child, why is she yelling at me!?
Smith- You make it sound like I killed someone!
Isis- whatever. *sigh*
She fell on the couch, and seemed tired.
Smith- what's wrong?
Isis- Real world problems, you probably don't care. Anyway, what were you doing in the mall?
Smith- Tie.
Isis- Just a simple tie.
She smiled.
Smith- I didn't realize I was such a celebrity.
Isis- oh yeah, everyone loves you. There's all the website about Agents. All these weird woman fantasizing they can make you human.
Smith- What?
She sat up, she had a sad look on her face, then she smiled.
Isis- You heard me.
God, I am a celebrity. This is the last thing I want.
Isis got up, and made herself at home. Got some chips for herself.
Smith- You live in the real world?
I'm curious of the outside now. Although I shouldn't be. Isis seemed surprised at my question.
Isis- Yeah, all alone. But it's cool, Neo lives near me.
Neo. I don't need anymore Neo right now.
Isis- Why?
Smith- Before you interpreted my conversation we were talking about the real world.
Isis- You should go, it'd be healthy for you.
Smith- Yes, I should. . .
Isis- You mean you want to go?
Do I?
Smith- I didn't say that.
Isis- Then what did you say?
Smith- Nothing.
Isis- . . . Yeah, sure.
She sat on my couch and turned on the television, I sat next to her.
Isis- A lot has happened to you, huh?
Smith- One could say that.
Isis- Do you think that's good?
What? I don't . . .
Smith- I . . .
Isis fell asleep later. I walked away, into my room. I picked out a book randomly. I got "Simulacra and Simulation." I put it down on my desk. I haven't even read any of these books.
I picked up the earpiece And put it on.
Smith- Hello?
Jones- Smith?
Brown- So you're finally back?
Smith- Tell me about the real world.
