First Appearance
Edit
Mouse turns away from tapping on a console to follow Neo with interest during a tour of the Neb. Neo takes no notice of Mouse until Morpheus points him out.
Role on the Neb Crew
Edit

Added by PeazeractMouse shows a quirky philosophical streak during the mealtime scene. He cites a product called Tastee Wheat as an example of how the Machines may have botched sensory perception, i.e. the taste of the simulated food may be inaccurate. He also suggests, apparently in all seriousness, that this could be the reason many foodstuffs are said to taste like chicken.

Added by PeazeractBoth his hedonism and his pride in his work as a programmer are reflected by his affinity for the Woman in Red (a component of the Agent training program) for whom he claims design credit. He is fond of ogling her poster while on watch duty and urges Neo to meet her a second time. The implicit attempt to arrange a sexual encounter between her and Neo earns him the honorific "the digital pimp" from Switch.
Last Stand
Edit

Added by PeazeractMouse is awaiting the return of his shipmates in the Lafayette Hotel when Agents change the hotel's configuration. Following a warning by phone from Tank, he desperately makes for a passageway and finds it's been transformed into a brick wall.

Added by PeazeractAs S.W.A.T. forces move in to corner him, Mouse scrambles for a large case he's had standing by and produces his favorite guns. Though trapped and doomed, he goes down shooting and shouting a battle-cry.
Aboard the Nebuchadnezzar, Mouse spits some blood as he dies. Trinity later covers his body in a crude shroud and lays him alongside Apoc, Dozer, and Switch.
Appearances
Edit
Mouse supplies comic relief throughout the film, making jokes about the ship's food and calling Apoc and Switch hypocrites. He also shows some disregard for conventional fashion sense by wearing a rib cage t-shirt underneath his Avatar's outfit. Like Morpheus and Neo, he wears a hat on the ship.
