TEXT: Scene: The apartment, the living room. Howard: Watch this, it's really cool. Call Leonard Hofstadter. Howard's phone: Did you say, call Helen Boxleitner? Howard: No. Call Leonard Hofstadter. Howard's phone: Did you say, call Temple Beth Sader. Howard: No. Leonard: Here, let me try. Call McFlono McFloonyloo. Heh-heh. Howard's phone: Calling Rajesh Koothrappali. (Raj's phone rings). Raj: Oh, that's very impressive. And a little racist. Sheldon: If we're all through playing mock the flawed technology, can we get on with Halo night, we were supposed to start at eight, it is now 8:06. Leonard: So? We'll start now. Sheldon: Yes, first we have to decide if those lost six minutes will be coming out of game time, bathroom time or the pizza break. Raj: We can split it two, two and two. Howard: If we're having anchovies on the pizza we can't take it out of bathroom time. (There is a knock on the door.) Sheldon: Oh, what fresh hell is this? Leonard (opening door): Hey Penny, come on in. Penny: Hey guys. Howard: See a Penny, pick her up, and all the day you'll have good luck. Penny: No you won't. Uh, can I hide out here for a while. Leonard: Sure. What's going on. Penny: Well, there's this girl I know from back in Nebraska, Christie, well anyway she called me up and she's like "Hey, how's California," and I'm like "Awesome" 'cos, you know, it's not Nebraska, and the next thing I know she's invited herself out here to stay with me. Sheldon: 8:08. Penny: Anyway, she got here today, and she's just been in my apartment, yakkety-yakking about every guy she's slept with in Omaha, which is basically every guy in Omaha, and washing the sluttiest collection
SUMMARY:
Penny's promiscuous acquaintance Christy from Omaha, Nebraska, "kind of family" since she slept with Penny's brother whilst engaged to her cousin, arrives to visit Penny indefinitely, and immediately beds Howard in Penny's apartment which the pair take over. Penny replaces Howard as a Halo 3 player and displays natural talent, to Sheldon's disbelief. To avoid the noisy "lovers", Penny sleeps on Leonard and Sheldon's couch that night. Next day, Howard invites Christy to move in with him (and his mother), taking up all his time. Distraught at the odd number in the group, Sheldon invites Penny to play Halo again, but she prefers to go dancing. The guys believe their group is falling apart and go to speak to Howard. There they hear Howard's mother arguing loudly with Christy, causing her to leave. Howard, single again, goes to play Halo with the guys, and the group is restored, completely ignoring Penny and her three attractive dancing friends who briefly appear at the door.
