A quotation from Steven Moffat

   STEVE: (to Susan) It is not scientifically possible for a man to know what a woman wants. And that’s not fair, because you always know what we want.

   STEVE: And do you ever thank us for making it so simple?
   PATRICK: Never!

Steven Moffat (b. 1961) Scottish television writer, producer
