“Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Terminator would never stop. It would never leave him. It would never let the Fritos run dry, never let the Kraft Mac and cheese expire, or get drunk and ring up his hot pockets twice, or say it was too busy to find the Mexican or kosher aisle for him. It would always be there. And it would die to restock the pre-cooked chicken pot pie for him. Of all the would-be grocers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine was the only one that measured up.”

Sarah Conner, Terminator 2
