Ted: Amber and I are going to break into the music business. Last night after our concert, a talent agent asked us to meet with him in New York.
Susan: congratulations! We'll give you some spending money for your trip.
Ted: no need. The agent is footing the bill for everything. And when we get there, he's going to wine and dine us.

Ted: he thinks we sound like Goo Goo Dolls.
Nicole: who are they?
