TEXT: Scene: Leonard's bedroom Priya: Morning. Leonard: Morning. Priya: Sleep okay? Leonard: Mm-hmm. Great. Hey, can I ask you something? Priya: Sure. Leonard: Last night, me wanting to try that stuff out of the Kama Sutra, was that fun for you or kinda racially insensitive? Priya: Yeah, just because you're in bed with an Indian woman, you think that gives you permission to use crazy positions from an ancient Indian love manual? Leonard: Hey, if you can find a book called weird s*x with white boys, I'd be okay with that. Priya: No, you have such beautiful eyes. Have you ever thought about getting contacts? Leonard: I tried in the seventh grade. I could never get used to them. Priya: Oh, that's too bad. Leonard: Yeah, if I had contacts I would have been the coolest debate club president ever to be stuffed into his own cello case. Priya: If you had them on now, you could see what we're going to do next. Leonard: Th-th-th-that's okay. I can infer from context. Scene: The cafeteria. Howard: Hey, Raj, wanna see a new magic trick I've been working on? Sheldon: Howard, if I may interject here with a piece of friendly advice. Is working on magic tricks really how you want to spend your time? Granted, you're just an engineer, but that doesn't mean you might not someday build a geegaw or a thingamabob that may get you a thank you in someone else's Nobel prize acceptance speech. Raj: Is the trick making him disappear? Sure, let's see it. Howard: Here, shuffle these. Raj: Okay. Howard: Now spread them out on the table face down. Pick one, look at it. Raj: Okay. Howard: Now remember your card, put it back in the deck. Sheldon: Is it any wonder he doesn't have a doctorate? Howard: Remind me, what's your birthday? Raj: October sixth. Howard: Okay, October is the tenth month. So ten, one plus
SUMMARY:
Priya has begun to dominate in her relationship with Leonard, buying him new clothes (which Leonard is not comfortable with). She also feels threatened by Leonard continuing to hang out with Penny, even though they have broken up, so during sex, she tells him to break all contact with Penny. Leonard initially hesitates, but still tries to tell Penny to stay away from him, albeit indirectly. Penny does not get the right message, but Leonard takes comfort in the fact that he tried. Later Penny interrupts Leonard's date with Priya and is completely oblivious to what is going on. Leonard once again indirectly tries to tell Penny to stay away from him, but this time Penny gets the message and realizing that Priya was behind this, decides to break all contact with Leonard. Meanwhile, Howard shows Sheldon, Raj and Penny a card trick in which a volunteer picks a card and after shuffling the deck, Howard tells the volunteer his/her card. Raj and Penny both try out the trick and are amazed by it. Though at first his attitude is dismissive, Sheldon eventually becomes obsessed with discovering the trick's secret, as even Penny could figure it out. He goes to the extent of using a barcode reader in order to recreate the trick. It is then revealed (to the audience) that the card trick is just a prank played by Howard, Raj and Penny on Sheldon. Raj and Penny willingly pretended that Howard was successful, knowing fully well that Sheldon would go nuts trying to figure out the trick's secret. When Sheldon wants Howard to perform the trick on him in the end, Raj manages to get a peek on Sheldon's card and uses hand signals to tell Howard the right answer. Sheldon is puzzled once more, still not knowing that he had been pranked all along, while Howard and Raj both laugh gleefully.
