"I know exactly what you mean" <--where's this from? Hopeless question!

For a long time now, I’ve had in my head the line “I know exactly what you mean,” as said by some antagonist to some protagonist in some video production.

It’s such a generic line I’m afraid this can never be identified, but maybe somebody will recognize it?

There’s a pause, I think, maybe, after “know” and some emphasis, I think, maybe, on “exactly.”

I can’t even remember if the speaker is male or female!

But I do remember that it’s supposed to be somewhat unsettling, on reflection, that the antagonist can identify with the protagonist in this way.

Any ideas?

The Matrix?

Neo: Because I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.

Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?

Huh.

That might be it, actually.
