Agent Smith, The Matrix

"That's another fine plan ruined by the mysterious forces of destiny! Let's get the heck out of here!"
Green Boss Dude, Hitmen for Destiny

"Did you not notice the murder of Morrigan's crows you galloped through on Manannan's home isle on the night when his control over these seas is greatest? I despise prophecies. They always find a way.

The Salmon of Knowledge, Son of the Western Sea
