Bye bye Kansas
Hi,
this is an excerpt from The Matrix:
[Morpheus] - The pill you took is part of a tracing program. It's designed to disrupt your input-ouput carrier signal, so we can pinpoint your location
[Neo] - What does that mean?
[Cypher] - It means, buckle your seat belt Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye bye.
I'm guessing this is a reference to, or a quotation from, something else. A movie maybe? From the smiles it prompts, I would say it's something known; unfortunately, not by me. Could you please tell me what it is?
Thank you!
