Quotes by Councillor Harmann (to Neo) in The Matrix Reloaded: ‘Almost no one comes down here, unless, of course, there’s a problem. That’s how it is with people —nobody cares how it works as long as it works. I like it down here. I like to be reminded this city survives because of these machines’; and ‘There is so much in this world that I do not understand. See that machine? It has something to do with recycling our water supply. I have absolutely no idea how it works. But I do understand the reason for it to work.’
