-Rajesh: What is your move? -Howard: I&`&m going to use the mirror technique. She brushes her hair back, I brush my hair back...She shrugs, I shrug. Subconsciously she&`&s thinking, We&`&re in sync. We belong together. -Leonard: Where do you get this stuff? -Howard: You know, psychology journals, internet research, and there&`&s this great show on VH-1 about how to pick up girls. -Rajesh: If only I had his confidence! I have such difficulty speaking to women, or around women... or at times even effeminate men. Scene 2 -Sheldon: Oh, snap. So, I guess we&`&ll be leaving now. -Leonard: Why should we leave? For all we know he crashed the party and Penny doesn&`&t even want him here. -Sheldon: You have a backup hypothesis? -Leonard: Maybe they just want to be friends. -Sheldon: Or maybe she wants to be friends and he wants something more. -Leonard: Then he and I are on equal ground. -Sheldon: Yes, but you&`&re much closer to it than he is. -Leonard: Look, if this was 1,500 years ago, by virtue of his size and strength, Kurt would be entitled to his choice of female partners. -Sheldon: And male partners, animal partners, large primordial eggplants, pretty much whatever tickled his fancy. -Leonard: Yes, but our society has undergone a paradigm shift. In the Information Age, Sheldon, you and I are the alpha males. -Leonard: We shouldn&`&t have to back down. -Sheldon: True. Why don&`&t you text him that and see if he backs down? -Leonard: No. I&`&m going to assert my dominance face-to-face. -Sheldon: Face-to-face? Are you going to wait for him to sit down, or are you going to stand on the coffee table?
