Script

Sheldon: Are you still mad about the sperm bank?

Leonard: No.

Sheldon: (Do) You want to hear an interesting thing about stairs?

Leonard: Not really.

Sheldon: If the height of a single step is off by as little as two millimeters, most people will trip.

Leonard: I don’t care. Two millimeters? That doesn’t seem right.

Sheldon: No, it’s true, I did a series of experiments when I was twelve. My father broke his clavicle.

Leonard: Is that why they sent you to boarding school?

Sheldon: No. That was the result of my work with lasers.

Leonard: New neighbor?

Sheldon: Evidently.

Leonard: Significant improvement over the old neighbor.

Sheldon: Two-hundred-pound transvestite with a skin condition. Yes, she is.

Penny: Oh, hi!

Leonard: Hi.

Sheldon: Hi.

Leonard: Hi.

Sheldon: Hi.

Penny: Hi?

Leonard: We don’t mean to interrupt. We live across the hall.

Penny: Oh, that’s nice.

Leonard: Well, no, we don’t live together. I mean, we live together, but in separate, heterosexual bedrooms.

Penny: Oh, okay, well, guess I’m your new neighbor, Penny.

Leonard: Leonard, Sheldon.

Penny: Hi.

Leonard: Hi.

Sheldon: Hi.

Penny: Hi.

Leonard: Hi. Well, uh, oh, welcome to the building.

Penny: Oh, thank you. Maybe we can have coffee sometime.

Leonard: Oh, great.

Penny: Great.

Sheldon: Great.

Leonard: Great. Well, bye.

Penny: Bye.

Sheldon: Bye.

Leonard: Bye.

Leonard: Should we have invited her for lunch?

Sheldon: No. We’re going to start season two of Battlestar Galactica.

Leonard: We already watched the season two DVDs.

Sheldon: Not with commentary.

Leonard: I think we should be good neighbors, invite her over, make her feel welcome.

Sheldon: We never invited Louis / Louise over.

Leonard: And that was wrong of us. We need to widen our circle.

Sheldon: I have a very wide circle. I have 212 friends on Myspace.

Leonard: Yes, and you’ve never met one of them.

Sheldon: That’s the beauty of it.

Leonard: I’m going to invite her over. We’ll have a nice meal and chat.

Sheldon: Chat? But we don’t chat. At least not offline.

Leonard: It’s not difficult. You just listen to what she says, and then you say something appropriate in response.

Sheldon: To what end?

Leonard: Hi. Again.

Penny: Hi.

Sheldon: Hi.

Leonard: Hi.

Penny: Hi.

Leonard: Anyway, um, we brought home Indian food. And, um. I know that moving can be stressful, and I find that when I’m undergoing stress, that good food and company can have a comforting effect. Also, curry is a natural laxative, and I don’t have to tell you that a clean colon is just one less thing to worry about.

Sheldon: Leonard, I’m no expert here, but I believe in the context of a luncheon invitation, you might want to skip the reference to bowel movements.

Penny: Oh, you’re inviting me over to eat?

Leonard: Uh, yes.

Penny: Oh, that’s so nice. I’d love to.

Leonard: Great.

Penny: So, what do you guys do for fun around here?

Sheldon: Well, today we tried masturbating for money.
