How I Met Your Mother2005
Ellen Pierce:
[a match-maker] You give me 3 days and I will find the woman you will marry.
Ted:
No, thanks. I don't need an algorithm to meet women. It's New York, you know. Plenty of fish in the sea!
Ellen Pierce:
[mocking him] Plenty of fish in the sea!
[grabs a calculator form the desk and starts clicking away]
Ellen Pierce:
There's 9 million people in New York. 4.5 million women. Of course, you want to meet someone roughly your own age - let's say plus, minus 5 years. So if you take into account the most recent census data that leaves us with 482,000 women. But wait! 48% of those are already in relationships and then you have to eliminate half for intelligence, sense of humor and compatibility. And then you have to take out the ex girlfriends and the relatives. And, oh, you can't forget those lesbians. And then that leaves us with 8 women.
[pushes calculator screen into Ted's face]
Ted:
[starts to get concerned] That can't be right! Eight? Really? Eight?
Ellen Pierce:
There are 8 fish in that big blue ocean, Ted. And if you feel confident that you can reel one into your boat without me, there's the door.
Ted:
Do you take credit cards?
