JofUR reminds me of this scene from Big Fish. What would you do if you knew what the outcome was...

Senior Ed Bloom: People needn't worry so much. It's not my time yet. This is not how I go.

Will Bloom: Really?

Senior Ed Bloom: Truly. I saw it in the eye.

Will Bloom: The old lady by the swamp?

Senior Ed Bloom: She was a witch.

Will Bloom: No, she was old and probably senile.

Senior Ed Bloom: I saw my death in that eye, and this isn't how it happens.

Will Bloom: So how does it happen?

Senior Ed Bloom: Surprise ending. Wouldn't want to ruin it for you.

-From Big Fish, the best movie about fathers and sons you might never have seen
