Quote from Marshall in Right Place Right Time
[Marshall holding a poster in the booth at MacLaren's:] Marshall: I've ranked the Presidents in order of how dirty their names sound. One: Johnson. Two: Bush. Three: Harding. Four: Polk. [Marshall holding a poster in the apartment:] Marshall: This circle represents "People Who Are Breaking My Heart..." and this circle represents "People Who Are Shaking My Confidence Daily." And where they overlap: Cecilia. [Marshall holding a poster at the booth in MacLaren's:] Marshall: This is a pie chart describing my favorite bars. And this is a bar graph describing my favorite pies. [Marshall returns to the apartment to find Ted, Robin and Barney standing by the "Intervention" sign:] Marshall: What's going on? Robin: Enough with the charts. Barney: And the graphs. Ted: Really any visual representation of data. Marshall: I'm not an idiot. I know how you guys feel about my charts and my graphs. As a matter of fact, I've made a chart of your reaction to my charts. Let's take a look. Yes, it is true, since Cecelia, your interest in my charts has been steadily dropping. But based on recent trends, I have also made... A projection chart! And look... huge spike in interest coming! And this isn't just some dead cat bounce. This is big sustainable growth over the long term. Barney: You're a big sustainable growth.
