Councillor Harmann Quotes:

  • Councillor Harmann: Down here, sometimes I think about all those people still plugged into the Matrix and when I look at these machines I... I can't help thinking that in a way... we are plugged into them.

    Neo: But we control these machines; they don't control us.

    Councillor Harmann: Of course not. How could they? The idea is pure nonsense. But... it does make one wonder... just... what is control?

    Neo: If we wanted, we could shut these machines down.

    Councillor Harmann: [Of] course. That's it. You hit it. That's control, isn't it? If we wanted we could smash them to bits. Although, if we did, we'd have to consider what would happen to our lights, our heat, our air...

    Neo: So we need machines and they need us, is that your point, Councilor?

    Councillor Harmann: No. No point. Old men like me don't bother with making points. There's no point.

    Neo: Is that why there are no young men on the council?

    Councillor Harmann: Good point.

  • Councillor Harmann: I like to be reminded this city survives because of these machines. These machines keep us alive, while other machines are coming to kill us. Interesting, isn't it? The power to give life, and the power to end it.

  • Neo: Why don't you tell me what's on your mind, Councillor?

    Councillor Harmann: There is so much in this world that I do not understand. See that machine? It has something to do with recycling our water supply. I have absolutely no idea how it works. But I do understand the reason for it to work. I have absolutely no idea how you are able to do some of the things you do, but I believe there's a reason for that as well. I only hope we understand that reason before it's too late.

  • Commander Lock: I believe I'm going to need every ship we have if we're going to survive this attack.

    Councillor Harmann: I understand that, Commander.

    Commander Lock: Then why did you allow the Nebuchadnezzer to leave?

    Councillor Harmann: Because *I* believe our survival depends on more than how many *ships* we have.

  • Councillor Harmann: I hate sleeping. I figured, I've slept the first eleven years of my life away, so now I'm just making up for it.

  • Neo: I just haven't been able to sleep much.

    Councillor Harmann: It's a good sign.

    Neo: Of what?

    Councillor Harmann: That you are, in fact, still human.
