There's one scene in Enter The Matrix I don't understand.
Ghost and Niobe has just returned from a mission in the Matrix but Niobe tells Sparks (their operator) that they must go again. She explains that Morpheus called and said that he needs help.
Sparks: He says he needs your help. Can you imagine what that means?
Our help? He's got Neo, why does he need you? I know you're both
listening to me about as much as you're listening to this pole here,
so I'll just tell you what I think: I think you just spent eight of
your nine lives getting out of there...
Could you tell me what he means by "this pole here"?

I wonder if this question is a better fit at English Language & Usage.

@ToddWilcox Questions like this are on-topic here. And I strongly suspect this one would be closed on English Language & Usage for "lack of research" (ELU is very strict on closing questions). So no, definitely shouldn't be moved.

He simply means that he thinks that they're going to ignore his opinion entirely. That they won't even hear what he says and that they've already made up their minds.
He could just as easily have said,
"I know you're both listening to me about as much as you're listening to this wall panel here
or
"I know you're both listening to me about as much as you're listening to this cup holder here
etc.
