[Raj]: Okay, if no one else will say it, I will. We really suck at paintball.
[Howard]: That was absolutely humiliating.
[Leonard]: Oh, come on. Some battles you win, some battles you lose.
[Howard]: Yes, but you don't have to lose to Kyle Bernstein’s bar mitzvah party.
[Leonard]: I think we have to acknowledge, those was some fairly savage preadolescent Jews.
[Sheldon]: No, we were annihilated by our own incompetence and the inability of some people to follow the chain of command.
[Leonard]: Sheldon, let it go.
[Sheldon]: No, I wanna talk about the fact that Wolowitz shot me in the back.
[Howard]: I shot you for good reason. You were leading us into disaster.
[Sheldon]: I was giving clear, concise orders.
[Leonard]: You hid behind a tree yelling “Get the kid in the yarmulke! Get the kid in the yarmulke!”
[Penny]: Oh, hey, guys. So, how was paintball? Did you have fun?
[Sheldon]: Sure, if you consider being fragged by your own troops fun. You clear space on your calendar, there will be an inquiry.
[Penny]: Okay. Um... hey, I'm having a party on Saturday, so if you guys are around, you should come on by.
[Leonard]: A party?
[Howard]: A boy-girl party?
[Penny]: Well, there will be boys and there will be girls and it is a party, so... It'll just be a bunch of my friends.
We'll have some beer, do a little dancing.
[Sheldon]: Dancing?
[Leonard]: Yeah, I don't know, Penny…
[Sheldon]: The thing is, we're not…
[Leonard]: We're really more of a…
[Sheldon]: No.
[Leonard]: But thanks. Thanks for thinking of us.
[Penny]: Are you sure? Come on, it's Halloween.
[Sheldon]: A Halloween party?
[Howard]: As in costumes?
[Penny]: Well, yeah.
[Leonard]: Is there a theme?
[Penny]: Um… yeah, Halloween.
[Sheldon]: Yes, but are the costumes random, or genre-specific?
[Penny]: As usual, I'm not following.
[Leonard]: He's asking if we can come as anyone from science fiction, fantasy…
[Penny]: Sure.
[Sheldon]: What about comic books?
[Penny]: Fine.
[Sheldon]: Anime?
[Penny]: Of course.
[Sheldon]: TV, film, D&D, Manga, Greek gods, Roman gods, Norse gods…
[Penny]: Anything you want, okay? Any costume you want. Bye.
[Howard]: Gentlemen, to the sewing machines.
[Leonard]: I'll get it. Oh, no!
[Raj]: Make way for the fastest man alive! Oh, no!
[Sheldon]: See, this is why I wanted to have a costume meeting.
[Leonard]: We all have other costumes. We can change.
[Raj]: Or we could walk right behind each other all night and look like one person going really fast.
[Howard]: No, no, no. It's a boy-girl party, this Flash runs solo.
[Leonard]: Okay, how about this? Nobody gets to be the Flash. We all change. Agreed? I call Frodo!
[Raj]: Hey, sorry I'm late, but my hammer got stuck in the door on the bus.
[Leonard]: You went with Thor?
[Raj]: What? Just because I'm Indian, I can't be a Norse god? No, no, Raj has to be an Indian god. That's racism.
I mean look at Wolowitz. He's not English, but he's dressed like Peter Pan. Sheldon is neither sound nor light, but he's obviously the Doppler Effect.
[Howard]: I'm not Peter Pan. I'm Robin Hood.
[Raj]: Really? Because I saw Peter Pan, and you're dressed exactly like Cathy Rigby. She was a little bigger than you, but it's basically the same look, man.
[Leonard]: Hey Sheldon, there's something I want to talk to you about before we go to the party.
[Sheldon]: I don't care if anybody gets it, I'm going as the Doppler Effect.
[Leonard]: No, it's not that…
[Sheldon]: If I have to, I can demonstrate.
[Leonard]: Terrific. Um... this party is my first chance for Penny to see me in the context of her social group, and I need you not to embarrass me tonight.
[Sheldon]: Well, what exactly do you mean by embarrass you?
[Leonard]: Well, for example, tonight, no one needs to know that my middle name is Leakey.
[Sheldon]: But there's nothing embarrassing about that. Your father worked with Louis Leakey, a great anthropologist.
It had nothing to do with your bed-wetting.
[Leonard]: All I'm saying is that this party is the perfect opportunity for Penny to see me as a member of her peer group,
a potential close friend, and perhaps more, and I don't wanna look like a dork.
[Howard]: Just a heads up, fellas, if anyone gets lucky, I've got a dozen condoms in my quiver.
[Penny]: Oh, hey, guys.
[Leonard]: Hey, sorry we're late.
[Penny]: Late? It's 7:05.
[Sheldon]: And you said the party starts at 7:00.
[Penny]: Well, yeah, I mean, when you start a party at 7:00, no one shows up at, you know, 7:00.
[Sheldon]: It's 7:05.
[Penny]: Yes. Yes, it is. Okay, well, come on in.
[Howard]: So, what, are all the girls in the bathroom?
[Penny]: Probably, but in their own homes.
[Sheldon]: So, what time does the costume parade start?
[Penny]: The parade?
[Sheldon]: Yeah, so the judges can give out the prizes for best costume. You know, most frightening, most authentic, most accurate visualization of a scientific principal.
[Penny]: Oh, Sheldon, I'm sorry, but there aren't going to be any parades or judges or prizes.
[Sheldon]: This party is just going to suck.
[Penny]: No, come on, it's going to be fun, and you all look great. I mean, look at you, Thor, and, oh, Peter Pan.
That's so cute.
[Leonard]: Actually, Penny, he's Robin...
[Howard]: I'm Peter Pan. And I got a handful of pixie dust with your name on it.
[Penny]: No, you don't. Ah, hey, what's Sheldon supposed to be?
[Leonard]: Oh, he's the Doppler Effect.
[Sheldon]: Yes, it's the apparent change in the frequency of a wave caused by relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer.
[Penny]: Sure, I see it now. The Doppler Effect. All right, I got to shower. You guys, um, make yourselves comfortable.
[Leonard]: Okay.
[Sheldon]: See? People get it.
[Raj]: Mm… by Odin's beard. This is good Chex Mix.
[Howard]: No, thanks. Peanuts. I can't afford to swell up in these tights.
[Sheldon]: I'm confused. If there's no costume parade, what are we doing here?
[Leonard]: We're socializing, meeting new people.
[Sheldon]: Telepathically?
[Penny]: Oh, hey, when did you get here?
[Raj]: Penny is wearing the worst Catwoman costume I've ever seen, and that includes Halle Berry's.
[Leonard]: She's not Catwoman. She's just a generic cat.
[Sheldon]: And that's the kind of sloppy costuming which results from a lack of rules and competition.
[Howard]: Hey, guys, check out the sexy nurse. I believe it's time for me to turn my head and cough.
[Raj]: 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.
[Raj]: Oh, if only I had his confidence. I have such difficulty speaking to women, or around women, or at times even effeminate men.
[Howard]: If that's a working stethoscope, maybe you'd like to hear my heart skip a beat?
[Lady]: No, thanks.
[Howard]: No, seriously, you can. I have transient idiopathic arrhythmia.
[Leonard]: I want to get to know Penny's friends, I just... I don't know how to talk to these people.
[Sheldon]: Well, I actually might be able to help.
[Leonard]: How so?
[Sheldon]: Like Jane Goodall observing the apes, I initially saw their interactions as confusing and unstructured.
But patterns emerge. They have their own language, if you will.
[Leonard]: Go on.
[Sheldon]: Well, it seems that the newcomer approaches the existing group with the greeting “How wasted am I”?
Which is met with an approving chorus of “Dude”!
[Leonard]: Then what happens?
[Sheldon]: That's as far as I've gotten.
[Leonard]: This is ridiculous. I'm jumping in.
[Sheldon]: Good luck.
[Leonard]: No, you're coming with me.
[Sheldon]: Oh, I hardly think so.
[Leonard]: Come on.
[Sheldon]: Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass you?
[Leonard]: Yes, but I need a wingman.
[Sheldon]: All right, but if we're going to use flight metaphors, I'm much more suited to being the guy from the FAA analyzing wreckage.
[Lady]: Oh, hi, so what are you supposed to be?
[Sheldon]: Me? I'll give you a hint.
[Lady]: A choo-choo train?
[Sheldon]: Close.
[Lady]: A brain damaged choo-choo train? I still don't get it.
[Sheldon]: I'm the Doppler Effect.
[Lady]: Okay, if that is some sort of learning disability, I think it's very insensitive.
[Leonard]: Why don't you just tell people you're a zebra?
[Sheldon]: Well, why don't you just tell people you're one of the seven dwarves?
[Leonard]: Because I'm Frodo.
[Sheldon]: Yes, well, I'm the Doppler Effect.
[Leonard]: Oh, no.
[Sheldon]: What?
[Leonard]: That's Penny's ex-boyfriend.
[Sheldon]: What do you suppose he's doing here? Besides disrupting the local gravity field?
[Leonard]: If he were any bigger, he'd have moons orbiting him.
[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 wanna 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 15,000 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. 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?
[Leonard]: Hello, Penny. Hello, Kurt.
[Penny]: Oh, hey, guys, are you having a good time?
[Sheldon]: Given the reaction to my costume, this party is a scathing indictment of the American education system.
[Kurt]: What? You're a zebra, right?
[Sheldon]: Yet another child left behind.
[Kurt]: And what are you supposed to be, an elf?
[Leonard]: No, I'm a hobbit.
[Kurt]: What's the difference?
[Leonard]: A hobbit is a mortal, Halfling inhabitant of Middle Earth, whereas an elf is an immortal, tall warrior.
[Kurt]: So why the hell would you want to be a hobbit?
[Sheldon]: Because he's neither tall nor immortal and none of us could be the Flash.
[Kurt]: Well, whatever. Why don't you go hop off on a quest? I'm talking to Penny here.
[Leonard]: I think we're all talking to Penny here.
[Sheldon]: I'm not. No offense.
[Kurt]: Okay, maybe you didn't hear me. Go away.
[Penny]: All right, Kurt, be nice.
[Kurt]: Oh, I am being nice. Right, little buddy?
[Leonard]: Okay. I understand your impulse to try to physically intimidate me. I mean, you can't compete with me on an intellectual level and so you're driven to animalistic puffery.
[Kurt]: You calling me a puffy animal?
[Penny]: Oh, of course not. No, he's not. You're not, right, Leonard?
[Leonard]: No, I said “animalistic”. I mean, of course we're all animals, but some of us have climbed a little higher on the evolutionary tree.
[Sheldon]: If he understands that, you're in trouble.
[Kurt]: So, what, I'm unevolved?
[Sheldon]: You're in trouble.
[Kurt]: You know, you use a lot of big words for such a little dwarf.
[Penny]: Okay, Kurt, please.
[Leonard]: Look, Penny, it's okay. I can handle this. I am not a dwarf, I'm a hobbit. A hobbit. Are misfiring neurons in your hippocampus preventing the conversion from short-term to long-term memory?
[Kurt]: Okay, now you're starting to make me mad.
[Leonard]: A homo habilis discovering his opposable thumbs says “what”?
[Kurt]: What?
[Leonard]: I think I've made my point.
[Kurt]: Yeah? How about I make a point out of your pointy little head?
[Sheldon]: Let me remind you, while my moral support is absolute, in a physical confrontation, I will be less than useless.
[Leonard]: There's not going to be a confrontation. In fact, I doubt if he can even spell “confrontation”.
[Kurt]: C-O-N... frontation.
[Penny]: Kurt, put him down this instant!
[Kurt]: He started it.
[Penny]: I don't care. I'm finishing it. Put him down!
[Kurt]: Fine. You're one lucky little leprechaun.
[Sheldon]: He's a hobbit. I got your back.
[Penny]: Leonard, are you okay?
[Leonard]: Yeah, I'm fine. It's a good party, thanks for having us. It's just getting a little late, so…
[Penny]: Oh. All right, thank you for coming.
[Sheldon]: Happy Halloween. If it's any consolation, I thought that homo habilis line really put him in his place.
[Leonard]: What's that?
[Sheldon]: Tea. When people are upset, the cultural convention is to bring them hot beverages. There, there…
You wanna talk about it?
[Leonard]: No.
[Sheldon]: Good. “There, there” was really all I had. Good night, Leonard.
[Penny]: Hey, Leonard?
[Leonard]: Hi, Penny.
[Penny]: Hey, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
[Leonard]: I'm fine.
[Penny]: I am so sorry about what happened.
[Leonard]: It's not your fault.
[Penny]: Yes, it is. That's why I broke up with him. He always does stuff like that.
[Leonard]: So why was he at your party?
[Penny]: Well, I ran into him last week and he was just all apologetic about how he's changed. And he was just going on and on, and… I believed him and I'm an idiot because I always believe guys like that. And I can't go back to my party because he's there. And I know you don't want to hear this and I'm upset and I'm really drunk and I just want to…
[Leonard]: There, there.
[Penny]: God, what is wrong with me?
[Leonard]: Nothing, you're perfect.
[Penny]: I'm not perfect.
[Leonard]: Yes, you are.
[Penny]: You really think so, don't you?
[Leonard]: Penny, how much have you had to drink tonight?
[Penny]: Just... a lot.
[Leonard]: Are you sure that your being drunk and your being angry with Kurt doesn't have something to do with what's going on here?
[Penny]: It might. Boy, you're really smart.
[Leonard]: Yeah, I'm a freaking genius.
[Penny]: Leonard, you are so great. Why can't all guys be like you?
[Leonard]: Because if all guys were like me, the human race couldn't survive.
[Penny]: I should probably go.
[Leonard]: Probably.
[Penny]: Thank you.
[Leonard]: That's right, you saw what you saw. That's how we roll in the Shire.
[Sheldon]: Coming.
[Howard]: Hey, have you seen Koothrappali?
[Sheldon]: He's not here. Maybe the Avengers summoned him.
[Howard]: He's not the Marvel Comics Thor, he's the original Norse god.
[Sheldon]: Thank you for the clarification.
[Howard]: I'm supposed to give him a ride home.
[Sheldon]: I'm sure he'll be fine. He has his hammer.
