So doesn't this mean that Neo has the ability to make multiple copies of himself? As far as what I was talking about in the first movie, here is the text:
(from when Morpheus and Neo first meet)
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.... Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes... Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more... Follow me... Apoc, are we online?
Apoc: Almost.
Morpheus: Time is always against us. Please, take a seat there.
Neo: You did all this?
Trinity: Uh-huh.
Morpheus: The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signals so we can pinpoint your location.
Neo: What does that mean?
Cypher: It means buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye.
Neo: Did you... [notices mirror changing, fixing itself]
Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
Neo: This can't be...
Morpheus: Be what? Be real?
Trinity: It's going into replication.
Morpheus: Apoc?
Apoc: Still nothing.
Neo: It's cold. It's cold.
Morpheus: Tank, we're going to need a signal soon.
Trinity: We've got a fibrillation!
Morpheus: Apoc, location!
Apoc: Targeting, almost there.
Trinity: He's going into arrest!
Apoc: Lock, I got him.
Morpheus: Now, Tank. Now!
(end)
So what did Trinity mean by "it's" and "replication"? Does this happen everytime someone is disconnected from the matrix (a la Agent Smith)?
I hope you understand that the brothers had originally no intention on making other movies. The line is very interesting and I myself have never been able to find out why exactly Trinity says it. But you can say that it is a hint towards the scene when Neo jumps into Smith and then some of Neo replicates into Smith and vice versa. But then again the brothers never had intentions on making other films and it is in Reloaded we find out that it “replicated” etc.
CodaRed said this in post #1 :

I always thought "it's" was referring to the mirror.
When Trinity says "It's" we could assume it is Neo because he had that goo crap on him and he is saying its cold.
Replication means to duplicate, copy, reproduce, or repeat. Tank was trying to find Neo's input output carrier signal so they can locate him in the power plant. Maybe the tracer that they were running already ran through the power plant once and didn't find his signal. So then it is making a repeated trip around to try and locate him again. The reason they were worried it probably because the squiddies can track them and they want to get in and out real quick.
Used to refer to that one previously mentioned. Used of a nonhuman entity; an animate being whose sex is unspecified, unknown, or irrelevant; a group of objects or individuals; an action; or an abstraction: polished the table until it shone; couldn't find out who it was; opened the meeting by calling it to order.
Used as the subject of an impersonal verb: It is snowing.
Used as an anticipatory subject or object: Is it certain that they will win?
Used as an anticipatory subject to emphasize a term that is not itself a subject: It was on Friday that all the snow fell.
Used to refer to a general condition or state of affairs: She couldn't stand it.
Used to refer to a crucial situation or culmination: This is itthe rivals are finally face to face. That's it! I won't tolerate any more foolishness.
Informal. Used to refer to something that is the best, the most desirable, or without equal: He thinks he's it. That steak was really it!
