【剧情介绍】

Sheldon一边照着他的流程图,一边跟Kripke打电话,约他出来, 但Kripke是个不领情的主,眼看着Sheldon的交友流程图将要陷入死循环,Howard这唯一一位非博士挺身而出, 替Sheldon解决了问题,可还是被Sheldon奚落一句.

SHELDON: Perhaps the two of us might share a meal together. I see. Well, then perhaps you'd have time for a hot beverage? Popular choices include tea,coffee, cocoa.I see. No,no,no,wait. Don't hang up yet. What about a recreational activity? I bet we share some common interests. Tell me an interest of yours. Really? On actual horses? Tell me another interest of yours. I'm sorry. I have no desire to get in the water till I absolutely have to. Tell me another interest of yours.

LEONARD:Uh-oh,he's stuck in an infinite loop.

HOWARD: I can fix it.

SHELDON: Interesting,but isn't ventriloquism, by definition a solo activity? Yeah. Tell me another interest of yours. Is there any chance you like monkeys? What is wrong with you? Everybody likes monkeys.Hang on,Kripke. A loop counter and an escape to the least objectionable activity. Howard,that's brilliant. I'm surprised you saw that.

HOWARD: Gee,why can't Sheldon make friends?

SHELDON: All right,Kripke,that last interest strikes me as the least objectionable, and I would like to propose that we do that together. Tomorrow.Yes, I'll pay. All right,good-bye. All right. Time to learn rock climbing. You know,I am a fan of ventriloquism. Maybe you,me and your dummy could go get a hot beverage.
