Morpheus* : I'm trying to free your mind, Neo...but I can only show you the

door. _You're_ the one that has to walk through it....Tank,

load the jump program. Too many questions...

Neo straightens as the dojo dissolves away like a curtain lifting, leaving the two men now standing on a building rooftop in a city skyline. 

Morpheus* : You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear...doubt...and disbelief.

Free your mind...sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife. Doomed is your soul and damned is your life.

Morpheus spins, running hard at the edge of the rooftop. And jumps. He sails through the air, his coat billowing out behind him like a cape -

He somersaults once and lands on the rooftop across the street.

Neo* : Woah. wth was he sayin'...

Neo looks down at the street twenty floors below, then at Morpheus an impossible fifty feet away.

Neo* : Okies dokie.

Neo takes a deep breath.

Neo* : Free my mind..._no_ problem.

On the main deck, the crew are transfixed.

Mouse* : So what if he makes it?

Tank* : No one's ever made the first jump... not when they don't know teh haxxorz cod3z.

Mouse* : I know, I know...but what if he does?

Apoc* : He won't.

Mouse* : Come on.. b1tch.

Trinity* : Come on.... babee!

Neo takes another deep breath, pshee...

Neo* : All right, no problem...free my mind. Free my mind..All right.

Neo concentrates and /invoke HyperSprint.

Summoning every ounce of strength in his legs, /invoke HyperJump Neo launches himself into the air in a single maniacal shriek - But comes up drastically short.

//system:  Your Jump Exceeds The Limits Of The Matrix!!!

His eyes widen as he plummets. Stories fly by, the ground rushing up at him, but as he hits - The ground gives way, stretching like a trapeze net.

He bounces and flips, slowly coming to a rest, flat on his back.

He laughs, a bit unsure, wiping the wind-blown  & crap & stuffs & tears from his face.

Morpheus exits the building and helps him to his feet.

Inside the Nebuchadnezzar, the crew are feeling kind of let down by Neo.

Mouse* : Wha...what does this mean?

Switch* : It doesn't _mean_ anything... that nub, lol

Cypher* : Everybody falls the first time. Right, Trin?

But Trinity has left. Neo's eyes open as Tank eases the plug out. He tries to move and groans, cradling his ribs. While Tank helps Morpheus, Neo spits blood into his hand.

Neo* : I thought it wasn't real.

Morpheus : Your mind makes it real... wha' what?

Neo* : If you're killed in the Matrix...you die here?

Morpheus* : it's de dirtnap forever, brudda, dust 2 dust mon.

Neo goes to his room and goes to sleep, needs 3 goods hours so he can take his SAT's tommorrow. Gonna have a hangover...
