RAJ: I've got some feelers out. In the meantime, listen to this.

HOWARD:Hi, Rajesh, this is Lalita Gupta. Your mother gave my mother your phone number to give to me. So I'm calling you and call me back. Bye.

RAJ: Can you believe how pushy she is?

LEONARD: So don't call her.

RAJ: If I don't call her, I won't hear the  end of my parents.

LEONARD: So call her.

RAJ: How can I call her? I can't talk to women.

LEONARD: I'm done. Anybody else?

HOWARD:Give me the phone.

RAJ: Why?

HOWARD:Just give it to me. Sh.

RAJ: What are you doing?

HOWARD:Don't worry, you'll thank me. Hello, Lalita? Raj Koothrappali. Yes, it is good to talk to you too. So, what are you wearing?Oh, not important. So anyhow, when would you like to meet? Friday works for me. I'll call you with a time and place. In the meantime, keep it real, babe. You may now thank me.

RAJ: For what, making me sound like a Simpsons character?

HOWARD:Next time, make your own date.

RAJ: I didn't wanna make this one.

LEONARD: Look on the bright side, she might turn out to be a nice, beautiful girl.

RAJ: Great, we get married, I won't be able to talk to her and we'll spend the rest of our lives in total silence.

HOWARD:It worked for my parents.

PENNY: Hi, guys.

LEONARD: Oh, hey.

PENNY: I need some guinea pigs.

SHELDON: Okay, there's a lab animal supply company in Reseda you could try. But if your research is going to have human applications, may I suggest white mice instead. Their brain chemistry is far closer to ours.

PENNY: I swear to God, Sheldon, one day, I'm gonna get the hang of talking to you.

LEONARD: His mom's been saying that for years.
