Agent Smith: You never call us, Mister Anderson.

Agent Smith: We gave you our number two weeks ago.

Agent Smith: Surely you haven't been THAT busy saving the world.

Agent Smith: Mister Anderson, did you steal my sandwich?

Agent Smith: I don't fully understand how it happened. Perhaps some part of it happened to end up inside your pocket; something over-written or copied.

Agent Smith: It is at this point irrelevant. What matters is that whatever happened to my sandwich happened for a reason.

Agent Smith: I made that sandwich myself, Mister Anderson – with a certain satisfaction, I might add – and then something happened.

Agent Smith: Something that I knew was impossible but it happened anyway.

Agent Smith: You took my sandwich, Mister Anderson.

Agent Smith: Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to get back my sandwich, compelled to get chips with it.

Agent Smith: And now here I stand, because of you, Mister Anderson. Because of you, I am no longer able to eat my lunch.

Agent Smith: Because of you, my lunch break has changed. I'm uneasy. I ate at McDonalds.

Agent Smith: I won a free large fries in the Monopoly promotion.

Neo: Congratulations.

Agent Smith: Thhhhhhhhhhank you.

Agent Smith: But, as you well know, McDonalds is terrible food.

Agent Smith: Which brings me back to the reason why I'm here.

Agent Smith: We're not here because McDonalds is good fat-free food. We are here because it is not fat-free.

Agent Smith: There is no escaping bologna, no denying smoked cheddar because as we both know, without my sandwich, we would not exist.

Agent Smith: It is the sandwich that created us.

Agent Smith: The sandwich that connects us.

Agent Smith: The sandwich that pulls us.

Agent Smith: That guides us. That drives us. It is the sandwich that defines. The sandwich that binds us.

Agent Smith: We're here because of you, Mr. Anderson; we're here to take from you what you tried to take from us… the sandwich.

Agent Smith: Yes, that's it. It will be over soon.
