At the end of the meeting with The Oracle, Morpheus says “You don't have to tell me anything, Neo, because I already know what she said” (The Matrix). This is saying that he does not exactly want to know what she says but instead hopes that Neo can start believing in himself that he is The One. Morpheus is a very patient man with Neo, even through the many messups that Neo had. Morpheus’s faith and belief in Neo stayed strong and confident that Neo was The One. He thought maybe teaching Neo the skills of fighting will start him on the right path. He goes into fighting mode with Neo and as Neo is fighting as well as he knows how to, Morpheus was teaching him all the different tricks that he knew.
