The Matrix: Reloaded (Agent Smith)

"Our connection. I don't fully understand how it happened. Perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me... something overwritten or copied. It is, at this point, irrelevant. What matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason. I killed you Mr. Anderson. I watched you die. With a certain satisfaction, I might add. And then something happened, something that I knew was impossible but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do... but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay... compelled to disobey. And now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an agent of this system. Becaus of you, I've changed. I'm unplugged. A new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently free. But as you well know, appearances can be deceiving... which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose we would not exist. It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guides us. That drives us. It is purpose that defines. Purpose that binds us. We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us: Purpose."
