Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I really would like to see "follow the white rabbit" typed across the screen as the very last image in the series. I think that adds the right touch.
What do you think, Jason?
"White rabbit" isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it does give me another idea for that end scene.
(although maybe just snipping the dialogue would be good enough)

Which was the entire point of it - this Neo is a moron.
