Howard:Wait till you see this.

Raj:It’s fantastic. Unbelievable.

Leonard:See what?

Howard(putting a DVD in the machine): It’s a Stephen Hawking lecture from MIT in1974.

Leonard:This is not a good time.

Howard(putting on a Stephen Hawking voice): It’s before he became a creepy computer voice.

Leonard:That’s great, you guys have to go.

Raj:Why?

Leonard:It’s just not a good time.

Sheldon:Leonard has a lady over.

Howard: Yeah, right, your grandmother back in town?

Leonard:No. And she’s not a lady, she’s just a new neighbour.

Howard:Hang on, there really is a ladyhere?

Leonard:Uh-huh.

Howard:And you want us out because you’reanticipating coitus?

Leonard:I’m not anticipating coitus.
