While the burly brawl in Matrix Reloaded is one of the highlights of the film, I always wondered why Neo bothered to fight and risk getting 'Agent Smithed' when he could've flown off at any time. Of course we all know the real reason (otherwise we wouldn't have gotten a cool fight scene). Nevertheless, here's an attempt to come up with a plausible reason. The winning punchline was submitted by Dmitri. There were 22 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #488 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2006-10-13.
