Neo's Choice (The Matrix Reloaded)

Neo's Choice is the thirty-first scene of The Matrix Reloaded.
==Description==
This scene is in direct continuation of the The One's Function.
The Architect told Neo of the two choices he had. He first told him of the disaster that would most probably strike if Neo decided not to go to the Source. He explained to Neo that if the process of reloading was not completed, then there will be a cataclysmic system crash killing all the humans connected to the Matrix, which coupled with the destruction of Zion will result in the extinction of the entire human race.
Neo expressed his doubts that the Machines will let the humans go extinct, because of their dependance upon humans for their energy. The Architect replied by saying that the machines are ready to accept certain levels of survival. He continued by saying that the relevant issue was whether Neo was ready to take responsibility for the destruction of the entire human race. He then flicked his pen changing the view on the screens to show the lives of various humans throughout the world.
He then said that he found reading Neo's reactions intriguing. He told Neo that the previous Ones were, by design, supposed to create a profound attachment with the general human race, thus facilitating the function of the One. But Neo's case was different. He had created an attachment with a more specific human, namely Trinity. The Architect then once again flicked the pen to show her fighting the Agent. He then tells Neo, with a smile, that she entered the Matrix to save him, but at the cost of her own life.
The Architect then finally gives Neo the two choices. Neo could take the door on his right, which would take him to the Source, or he could take the door on the left, and try to save Trinity, but at the cost of the entire Human race. Now Neo faces the problem he referred to earlier, Choice.
The Architect says that both, Neo and himself already knew the course of their actions. He told Neo, about how he could see the chain reaction going on within him, and the emotions taking over him and overwhelming reason and logic, the simple fact that Neo couldn't save Trinity.
Neo made his choice and went for the left door. The Architect then stated that hope was simultaneously the source of humans' strength and weakness.
Neo than states that if he were the Architect he would hope that they wouldn't meet again, to which he replied that they won't.
