I didn't let my fingers flicker quick enough. And I didn't know the store dick was standing right behind me. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. You can't win 'em all. (P. G. Wodehouse, ‘Ice in Bedroom’, ch. V) — Мои руки двигались недостаточно проворно. И я не знала, что у меня за спиной магазинный сыщик. Вот такие дела. И на старуху бывает проруха.

No matter how the cookie crumbled. Mamma Ida was in for a bad time. (Suppl) — Как бы ни сложились дела, маме Иде все равно придется туго.
