TEXT: Scene: The stairwell. Leonard is carrying a large box. Leonard: Why do I always have to carry the heavy stuff? Sheldon: Well, it's very simple. In our ragtag band of scientists with nothing to lose, I'm the smart one, Wolowitz is the funny one, and Koothrappali is the lovable foreigner who struggles to understand our ways and fails.
