Wait, then what is it if you just have hair up here? Raj: You mean a moo-stache? Leonard: Moo-stache. Howard: He said it. Raj: Ha-ha, very funny. Make fun of the foreign guy. For your information, there are four times as many Indians as there are Americans, so the way we say it is right. Howard: Say what? Raj: Moo-stache. Leonard: Moo-stache. Howard: He said it.

Penny alerts Amy, and agrees to break up, but blocks Sheldon's plan by convincing him that Leonard is manipulating him.

Finally, Amy and Sheldon eat together on the sofa, with the others at the table, until everyone pities Sheldon and all end up back at the coffee table.
