【剧情介绍】

Sheldon和Leonard在Cheesecake Factory吃饭, Penny得知Leonard和Leslie分手后,开始安慰Leonard.

SHELDON: You know I think I may have misjudged this restaurant.

LEONARD: No kidding.

SHELDON: I don't wanna go out on a limb, but I think we may be looking at my new Tuesday hamburger.

LEONARD: Your old Tuesday hamburger will be so brokenhearted.

SHELDON: Way ahead of you. I was thinking of moving Big Boy to Thursdays and just dropping Souplantation.

LEONARD: Really?

SHELDON: Yeah.The name always confused me, anyway. Souplantation. You can't grow soup.

PENNY: So how's everything?

LEONARD: Terrific. You'll be happy to know that I plan to come every Tuesday for the foreseeable future.

PENNY: Really?Oh, yay. Heh.

LEONARD:  Who do I speak to about permanently reserving this table?

PENNY: I don't know, a psychiatrist?

PENNY:  So, hey. How are things with you and Leslie? 

LEONARD: Oh.To be honest, I don't think it's going to work out.

PENNY: Oh, that's too bad. Well, hey, don't worry. I'm sure there's someone out there who's just right for you.

LEONARD: Well, what did she mean by that? Was that just a generic platitude or was that a subtle bid for attention?
