1. Smith knew Neo was sending the code back to the source. That was the one thing that could kill him by resetting the Matrix.
2. The reason Neo said you are right, is because Smith was saying the things the Oracle wanted him to hear. If you noticed when it was all said and done with. It was the Oracle that was lying where Smith had fallen.
That copy of Smith that was fighting Neo, was the one that copied over the Oracle and gained her power and knowledge. If you remember when Smith stated that he was going to win, because he was using The Oracles Eyes to see the future.
Funny thing is, it turned out to be all wrong. Because Neo had a choice to send his code back to the source. Smith didnt think Neo was going to do that. 😉
Yeah i remember that.
I'm still not seeing how thats an anti-virus thing that destroyed smith, the shock that goes into Neo from the cords happens after the white light explodes from Neo, doesn't it??
Maybe i have the order mixed up but i'm willing to bet my mouse that it happened after the white light came from Neo.
no, Smith copies Neo, then asks "is it over?" or something like that, then Neo-Smith nods yes, then the cords pulse with light, and Neo-smith starts to glow and Oracle-smith is like no, it cant be, or something like that and Neo begins to glow and that Neo-smith blows up, then the other smiths start...
I am not completely sure if it could be an anti-virus or something of that sort, but doesn't Neo have the power (by himself) to destroy Smith when he's inside him? Think about this for a moment.
In the end of The Matrix, Neo is killed, wakes up, and becomes the One. Agent Smith charges at him and they end up fighting hand-to-hand. When suddenly Neo kicks Smith across the room and he goes flying. Then Neo charges and goes INSIDE Smith (and becomes Smith) and the agent explodes like in the end of The Matrix Revolutions while in his place stands Neo.
Here's the thing. I do not think there is a difference if Neo goes inside Smith and becomes Smith than there is if Smith forces Neo to become a Smith by overiding him and making him an Agent. Neo (being a Smith) went and destroyed himself (Smith form) causing a chain reaction with all the other Smiths in the Matrix and eventually removing the Smith in the Oracle. It must have something to do with Smith's source code. I'm not completely sure.
And to answer the thread question, I think Neo said that because he wanted Smith to make him an Agent. Since he knew how to destroy him when he's "Inside" an Smith.
Bunch of crap but I wanted to say what I thought was best.
