Why does Agent Smith remove his earphone when talking to Morpheus?
He doesn’t want the other Agents to know what he’s saying to Morpheus. The Agents seem to operate collectively, finishing each other’s sentences at times, and certainly knowing what each is thinking. Smith’s actions may largely be symbolic to show that he’s able to turn this collective consciousness off, and in this case, has a reason to. His discussion with Morpheus implies that he is much more “human” than his colleagues – he shows frustration, exhaustion, impatience, and hatred of the Matrix itself and his place in it.
