What do you guys think about this dialogue, from the very beginning of the first Matrix, with respect to the things that happened in Reloaded, the role of Trinity, Morpheus, etc.?


(Cellular)
Cypher: Yeah.

Trinity: Is everything in place?

Cypher: You weren't supposed to relieve me.

Trinity: I know, but I felt like taking your shift.

Cypher: You like him, don't you? You like watching him.

Trinity: Don't be ridiculous.

Cypher: We're going to kill him, do you understand that?

Trinity: Morpheus believes he is The One.

Cypher: Do you?

Trinity: It doesn't matter what I believe.

Cypher: You don't, do you?

Trinity: Did you hear that?

Cypher: Hear what?

Trinity: Are you sure this line is clean?

Cypher: Yeah, 'course I'm sure.

Trinity: I better go.


Why would Cypher, pre-betrayal, tell Trinity that we are going to kill him ? Why would Trinity take this statement so calmly? Did Cypher just mean that unplugging Thomas/Neo when he's so old would kill him, or was he actually talking about giving Neo an old-fashioned? Forgive me if this is old news or irrelevant...
