(Rings doorbell)
Carrie Fisher: It's not funny anymore, James. Amy: Why can't they do something sensible like Sheldon and start their own comic book convention? And San Diego is right across the border from my favorite city on Earth, Tijuana, where I'm taking you every night. Howard: Why would someone want to make clothes out of your skin? Imagine trying to feel like a grown-up when you've never even been with a man. Is that how you talk to your mother? James: Ah, Sheldon, this is the perfect end to a perfect night. James: What were you trying to ask me at the strip club? Leonard: Chicken out. Penny: And we're back to the first kind of sad. Penny: I mean, really, what's so great about being grown up? Penny: To be cool? Penny: Yeah, but those tickets only get him into Comic-Con. Raj: Hey, since Sheldon's not going to Comic-Con, maybe we could find a cool trio to dress up as. Raj: Okay, so, I'm on a Comic-Con message board, and there's a post from a guy where he says he got caught using someone else's badge, and Sheldon was right, he did get charged with petty theft. Scene: A karaoke bar. Scene: A sauna. Scene: An ice cream parlour. Sheldon: I don't think that will be necessary for Mr. James Earl Jones. Sheldon: Oh. Sheldon: Simple. Sheldon: You're the ones who are going to get in trouble. The voice of Darth Vader, the Lion King's dad, and FYI, the guy who says, This is CNN. [SCENE_BREAK]

Summary: After the guys fail to obtain Comic-Con tickets, Sheldon wants to create his own comic book convention. He decides to ask James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, to be the celebrity guest at his new event. Sheldon finds out where Jones is eating and approaches him. Unlike most of Sheldon's idols, Jones is not turned off by Sheldon's obsessive personality and hero-worship. Jones takes Sheldon out for a night on the town, visiting an ice cream parlor, a carnival, and a strip club, doing karaoke together ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight"), ringing Carrie Fisher's doorbell and running away, and finally visiting a sauna, where Sheldon begins to get somewhat sick of Jones's company. After he learns the guys did not get Comic-Con tickets, Jones invites Sheldon and his friends to be his guests and promises to take Sheldon to Tijuana every night. Meanwhile, Leonard, Raj, and Howard plan to meet with a ticket scalper to get tickets, but chicken out to avoid trouble that could later affect their careers. The girls go to a tea room to "feel grown-up", but only mothers and their daughters are there so they move on to the bar and wonder what is so great about being adults since acting as "proper" grown-ups is quite boring.
