TEXT: Scene: The apartment. Leonard: Who wants the last dumpling? Penny: Ooh, me. Sheldon: Penny, a moment. We just had Thai food. In that culture, the last morsel is called the krengjai piece, and it is reserved for the most important and valued member of the group. Penny: Thank you all for this high honour. Sheldon: I've seen pictures of your mother, keep eating. Howard: All right, honey, if we're gonna make the movie, we should go.

Uh, which is closer to the new train store in Monrovia, the movie theatre or the Cheesecake Factory? Howard: Neither of them are close.

Amy: I can't imagine that would disturb me. Carry on. Leonard: Okay. Wouldn't you be more comfortable at home? Amy: Not really, no. Leonard: All righty then. Guess I'll just get started. Amy: Leonard, please. I don't need the running commentary. Credits sequence. Scene: The apartment. Amy is staring into
