Sex and the city
 
The Fuck Buddy – In this episode the girls are discussing their taste in men over a picnic in central park. Miranda’s choices seem to always fit into a set pattern whilst the wild Samantha prefers a more varied selection. Samantha declares “I don’t have a pattern!” Carrie relies “in math randomness is considered a pattern” “Yes, and I’m what they call a prime number”. Obviously one of the script-writers knew his Riemann.
