TEXT: Scene: The apartment. Penny: So, we're about to shoot this scene in the movie where the killer ape DNA is slowly taking over my body. Leonard: Okay. Penny: But I realize they're gluing fur everywhere except my cleavage. So, I asked the director why and he says, it's important to the story that my boobs be the last things to turn ape. Leonard: It's sweet that he thinks there's a story. Penny: Oh, and there's not even a bathroom on set. I have to go to the gas station across the street. I mean, I was dressed like half an ape and still not even close to the most disgusting person in there. Sheldon: Leonard, I could use your assistance. Leonard: Sure. What's up? Sheldon: Well, now that I've given up string theory, I'm struggling to find my next area of focus. So, in your professional opinion, which of these areas do you think is the most promising? Leonard: Huh, well, I think there's some really innovative stuff going on in dark matter. Sheldon: That's helpful. Okay. Of these four areas... Penny: Sheldon, what did we say about being a nicer friend? Leonard: Thank you. Penny: Leonard, what did we say about being a gullible weenie? Sheldon: It is just so frustrating. Penny: 'Cause you're trying too hard. You need to do something else, get your mind off it. Leonard: Hey. How about we bring back Anything Can Happen Thursdays? Penny: Hey, that's good. Why'd you guys stop doing that? Leonard: You made fun of us. Said it was stupid. Penny: Yeah. Sounds like me. Come on, Sheldon. What do you say? Sheldon: All right. I officially reinstate Anything Can Happen Thursday. Leonard: Great, what do you want to do? Sheldon: I don't know. What do you want to do? Penny: I don't know. What do you want to do? Leonard: I'm starting to remember the problem with Anything Can Happen Thursdays.
SUMMARY:
After reinstating "Anything Can Happen Thursday", Sheldon, Leonard and Penny wander around town looking for a new restaurant or things to do. They find Amy and Bernadette having dinner after lying to their friends. They were tired of hearing Sheldon moan about searching for a new research field and Penny for complaining about her horrible movie. Leonard sympathizes, so Sheldon and Penny storm off. Bernadette admits lying to Howard too. Amy tells Leonard she is jealous of how comfortable Sheldon is with Penny. Penny calls Howard and says Bernadette lied to him, but Bernadette says she will just put on a Catholic schoolgirl uniform to make it up to him. Raj and Howard watch a horror film, which both find disturbing, to prepare Raj for watching it with Emily. Emily later says she too finds the film disturbing, but Raj watches it with her after she says it also turns her on. After dinner, Penny drags Sheldon to a psychic who says all his problems will be solved if he commits more to his lady friend - Amy. A rattled Sheldon scoffs at this "malarkey". Later, Amy shows up at Sheldon's door dressed as a Catholic schoolgirl to apologize for lying, but Sheldon acts unmoved.
