Raj:Hey,what's with him?

LEONARD: Penny's been keeping him up at night.

HOWARD:Me,too. But probably in a different way.

LEONARD: She's gotten really hooked on Age of Conan. She's playing nonstop.

Raj:Ah,yes,online gaming addiction. There's nothing worse than having that multi-player monkey on your back.

LEONARD: Sheldon, wake up!

SHELDON: Danger! Danger!

LESLIE: Afternoon,men. Sheldon

SHELDON: Oh,yeah? Well,your attempt at juvenilizing me by excluding me from the set of adult males, just Oh, I'm too tired to do this.

LESLIE: That's right, I heard you've been pulling all-nighters with Middle Earth Barbie.

SHELDON: She comes into my room. No one's supposed to be in my room.

LESLIE: I would postulate that she's escaping into the online world to compensate for her sexual frustration.

HOWARD: I do that,too. But probably in a different way.

LEONARD: That's not what she's doing, Leslie. She's just trying to shore up her self-esteem. It has nothing to do with sex.

LESLIE: Everything has to do with sex.

HOWARD: Mm, testify.

LESLIE: I'm not touching that.

LEONARD: Leslie, you are way off base here.

SHELDON: Hang on, Leonard. While I have no respect for Leslie as a scientist or a human being, for that matter, we have to concede her undeniable expertise in the interrelated fields of promiscuity and general sluttiness.

LESLIE:Thank you.
