Leonard: I mean, I'm a perfectly nice guy. There's no reason we couldn't go and have a lovely dinner, maybe take a walk afterwards, talk about things we have in common. You love pottery? I love pottery! There's a pause, we both know what's happening. I lean in, we kiss. It's a little tentative at first, but then I realize she's kissing me back. She's biting my lower lip! She wants me! This thing is going the distance! We're going to have sex! Oh, God, oh, my God!

Sheldon: Is the sex starting now?

Leonard: I'm having a panic attack.

Sheldon: Well then... calm down.

Leonard: If I could, I wouldn't be having a panic... That's why they call it a panic attack.

Sheldon: Sit down. Yeah, sit down. Now close your eyes.

Leonard: Why?
