【劇情介紹】Leonard終于鼓起勇氣約Penny吃飯,而吃飯的氣氛很尷尬,兩個(gè)人都絞盡腦汁想話題,這飯吃的真夠杯具的.

LEONARD: Turns out that Raj and Howard had to work and Sheldon had a colonoscopy, and he hasn't quite bounced back yet.

PENNY: Ooh, my uncle just had a colonoscopy.

LEONARD: You're kidding. Well, then, that's something we have in common.

PENNY: How?

LEONARD: We both have people in our lives who wanna nip intestinal polyps in the bud.

PENNY: So, what's new in the world of physics?

LEONARD: Nothing.

PENNY: Really? Nothing?

LEONARD: Well, with the exception of string theory, not much has happened since the 1 930 .and you can't prove string theory.At best you can say, "Hey, look, my idea has an internal logical consistency."

PENNY: Ah. Well, I'm sure things will pick up.

LEONARD: What's new at the Cheesecake Factory?

PENNY: Oh, uh, not much. Oh, we do have a chocolate key lime that's moving pretty well.
