»Cheshire Cat? Toll Fee?«

Where does the cat go in the 2nd movie?

LOL.

Does the fact that the cat per movie count reads like 1-0-1 have anything to do with anything?



Also...

The trainman, as the boatman Charon, requires money for passage between the land of dead (machine city) and the land of the living (the matrix)... through his Boss, Merovingian.

(I know Neo is not in Machine City... he's in Limbo... on the River Styx... or whatever.)

This is echoed in the words of Merovingian... "You must have something I want"... and then he requests the eyes of the Oracle. Besides the obvious implications of her power, or her soul, there is:

In the old days, fare for the boatman was twopence, a copper on each eye.

So is this the fare for the trainman? For every transfar?

Is this why the Oracle died/lost her shell when she last dealth with Merovingian? Perhaps she tried to smuggle Sathi across without paying it, and that pissed him royally off?




Other minor conundrums:

When DID the guardian angel Seraph ever beat Smith? Previous Matrix? Or does this just mean that the Agents have been hunting the Oracle, too?

Why do we never see more than three agents onscreen at a time?
