TEXT: Scene: The apartment. Penny: Oh my God, I love this chicken. Sheldon: Oh, you know what they say, the best things in life are free. Penny: Okay, you're right, I eat your food a lot. How about this, you can raid my fridge any time you want. Sheldon: Oh, that's very kind of you. Next time I have a hankering to wash down a D cell battery with a jar of old pickle juice, I'll come a-knocking. Howard: Hey, Raj, you didn't send your RSVP in. I'm supposed to ask you if you're bringing someone to the wedding. Raj: I'll let you know. Howard: Well, can you make it soon. There's a battle royale going on over the seating charts. In one corner, Bernadette's mom, and the other three, mine. Sheldon: Yeah, I hate wedding receptions. I wish the bride and groom would take a cue from Bilbo Baggins, slip on the ring, disappear and everyone goes home. Leonard: Mmm, you liked Professor Guyster's wedding. Sheldon: They had a make your own sundae bar. Ooh, that was a night to remember. Do you know, on the one trip, I just had a bowl of nuts. Howard: Anyway, you gotta let me know if you have a plus one, because if not my mom's trying to sneak in the doctor who sucked the fat out of her neck. Raj: Alright, uh, fine, I'm coming and I'm bringing somebody. Uh, Koothrappali plus one. Leonard: Who you bringing? Raj: Who are you bringing? Penny: He's bringing me. Who are you bringing? Raj: Wow, what a bunch of Nosey O'Donnells. Howard: Come on, who is it? Raj: I'm not telling. I'm from Asia. I'm mysterious. Deal with it. Sheldon: Howard, are you having a make your own sundae bar? Howard: No,
SUMMARY:
After Sheldon complains about Penny's constant mooching of their food, she buys him and Leonard each a mint-condition vintage Star Trek transporter from 1975 with the residual check from her hemorrhoid commercial. She is disappointed when both refuse to take them out of their boxes since they want to preserve the toy's value. That night, Sheldon has a dream where his Spock action figure tells him to open his transporter and play with it. When Sheldon does this, he breaks his transporter accidentally. He then exchanges his broken toy for Leonard's toy, figuring that he will never find out since he does not plan to open his. Later Sheldon has a nightmare where his Spock action figure chastises him for switching the two transporters. When Leonard decides to play with his toy since it is a gift from his girlfriend, Sheldon admits to breaking his toy and switching it with Leonard's. Meanwhile, faced with the prospect of attending Howard's wedding alone, Raj tells his parents to find a suitable girl for him. He meets the prospective bride Lakshmi in a restaurant and both hit it off immediately. It soon turns out that Lakshmi is a lesbian and accepted to meet Raj as it is difficult to come out in Indian culture, but nevertheless decides to marry him as she thinks he is gay. Raj too contemplates marrying her, despite the fact that he is never going to have sex with her, and rebuffs Howard's advice to find some other girl. Finally, Howard and Bernadette give Raj a Yorkie puppy to cheer him up and make him forget about Lakshmi.
