TEXT: Scene: A corridor at a sperm bank. Sheldon: So if a photon is directed through a plane with two slits in it and either slit is observed it will not go through both slits. If it's unobserved it will, however, if it's observed after it's left the plane but before it hits its target, it will not have gone through both slits. Leonard: Agreed, what's your point? Sheldon: There's no point, I just think it's a good idea for a tee-shirt. Leonard (to receptionist): Excuse me? Receptionist (pondering a crossword): Hang on. (Long pause) Leonard: One across is Aegean, eight down is Nabakov, twenty-six across is MCM, fourteen down is... move your finger... phylum, which makes fourteen across Port-au-Prince. See, Papa Doc's capital idea, that's Port-au-Prince. Haiti. Receptionist: Can I help you? Leonard: Yes. Um, is this the... High IQ sperm bank? Receptionist: If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be here. Sheldon: I think this is the place. Receptionist: Fill these out. Leonard: Thank-you. We'll be right back. Receptionist: Oh, take your time. I'll just finish my crossword puzzle. Oh wait. (They sit and begin to fill in forms). Sheldon: Leonard, I don't think I can do this. Leonard: What, are you kidding? You're a semi-pro. Sheldon: No. We are committing genetic fraud. There's no guarantee that our sperm is going to generate high IQ offspring, think about that. I have a sister with the same basic DNA mix who hostesses at Fuddruckers. Leonard: Sheldon, this was your idea. A little extra money to get fractional T1 bandwidth in the apartment. Sheldon: I know, and I do yearn for faster downloads, but there's some poor woman is going to pin
SUMMARY:
After an unsuccessful visit to the high-IQ sperm bank , Dr. Leonard Hofstadter and Dr. Sheldon Cooper return home to find aspiring actress Penny is their new neighbor across the hall from their apartment. Sheldon thinks Leonard, who is immediately interested in her, is chasing a dream he will never catch. Leonard invites Penny to his and Sheldon's apartment for Indian food, where she asks to use their shower since hers is broken. While wrapped in a towel, she gets to meet their visiting friends Howard Wolowitz , a wannabe ladies' man who tries to hit on her, and Rajesh Koothrappali , who is unable to speak to her as he suffers from selective mutism in the presence of women. Leonard is so infatuated with Penny that, after helping her use their shower, he agrees to retrieve her TV from her ex-boyfriend Kurt . However, Kurt's physical superiority overwhelms Leonard's and Sheldon's combined IQ of 360, and they return without pants or TV. Penny, feeling bad, offers to take the guys out to dinner, initiating a friendship with them.
