So Alfred, what is it that you do for a living?
Oh, I'm an anthropologist. I study ancient peoples and cultures.
My goodness, so all the way back to the Flood.
[Alfred laughs]
SheldonDon't laugh. She wasn't joking.
Play with your phone.
Well, on that note there are many cultures that have an apocalyptic flood as a part of their mythology.
I don't have a mythology. I have the unerring Word of God. But that's very interesting.
Oh. I don't mean to disparage your faith. Actually I admire it.
Really?
Yes, I'm an agnostic myself, but I prayed, many times, to God to turn my wife into a pillar of salt.
Well, he came close. Turned her into a giant block of ice.
Sheldon CooperWhy do people cry at weddings?
They're practising for what's coming later.
Sheldon, I understand your apprehension, but let me appeal to the scientist in you. Given the five week end date, isn't it the perfect opportunity to consider this an experiment and collect data on our compatibility?
SheldonDon't try luring me in with sexy talk.
Okay, Star Trek: The Original Series, the Enterprise was on a 5-year mission exploring new worlds. Think of this as your personal 5-week mission to do the same.
SheldonIf you want to lure me in with sexy talk that's how you do it!
[Leonard looks proud of himself]
Don't be proud of that!
Okay, well for starters, there's nothing wrong with keeping our toothbrushes in the same holder.
Sheldon, what do you say to that?
SheldonI think we should see other people.
You know, with us living together, maybe we could think about having people over?
SheldonWe have people over all the time. We have the maintenance people, the pizza delivery man, that UPS driver who feels the need to ask how parts of me are hanging.
You know what I meant.
SheldonAlright, fine. Let's say that we're to entertain people, what type of gathering did you have in mind? A meal? Lunch, brunch, dinner, afternoon tea? Formal tea? Is it a party? And if so, what kind of party is it? Cocktail party, a Tupperware party? Is it a surprise party? Boy I hope it's not a West Coast party, because according to the man on the radio, "West Coast party don't stop".
I'm sorry I mentioned it.
SheldonOh, don't be. You get your hopes up, I knock them down. That's called teamwork.
SheldonYou know, if you like I could call your landlord and complain.
Thanks, but you don't have to.
SheldonOh, I don't mind. I'm very good at complaining. If it were an Olympic Sport I'd complain about what a stupid sport it is, and then I'd take home the gold.
You're awful quiet. Everything okay?
SheldonI'm concerned about Amy. She's acting a bit odd lately.
Just out of curiosity, what registers as odd to you?
SheldonAnd you realize what the next step is.
Set up a second culture and try to replicate our results.
SheldonUh, no. We lock that door, lower our underpants a little, and make a baby.
[Leonard brings an injured Sheldon into the apartment]
Sheldon[in pain] Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
What happened?
SheldonI tried to let go of anger, and threw a rock into my foot.
Then, he got more angry and kicked the rock with his other foot.
What?! [notices the tissue in Leonard's nostril] And what happened to you?!
Oh, I laughed so hard, I burst a blood vessel in my nose! It's fine!
Sheldon, you're being a little selfish. Why don't you let Leonard keep a few things?
SheldonIt's not my fault I'm bad at sharing; I skipped kindergarten.
[knocks on the door of 4B] Sheldon, I know what you did, now change the password back.
Sheldon[opens the door] Well, powder me in sugar and call me a donut, if it isn't Leonard Hofstadter.
Sheldon, I'm warning you, I can play this game, too.
SheldonIf it's like your 3-D chess game, then you're out of your length, width and depth. Amy, get the Neosporin, somebody just got burned.
Alright, I tried.
Sheldon"Alright, I tried"? That should be the title of your autobiography. Ooh, a second-degree burn.
What is this?
SheldonA functional MRI of my brain. I did Sudoku before they took it so I'd be ripped.
I love it. Thank you.
SheldonAnd it's not just an MRI. The orbitofrontal cortex is lit up because I was thinking of you.
What's wrong?
SheldonI'm not sure. Earlier tonight things began organically and now it's feeling forced... like all the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.
[recapping Sheldon's story for Bernadette] They told Mary they were living together, there was a fight, he got his feelings hurt, then he put underwear on his head --
On purpose. Not the way it used to happen in high school.
SheldonI was acting odd intentionally.
Really? So you can control it?
