We study the perturbative S-matrix of the c=1 string and show that it admits a description in terms of a double-scaled matrix integral. Together with the well-known duality to matrix quantum mechanics, this leads to a triality between worldsheet string theory, matrix quantum mechanics, and a matrix integral.
