SHELDON: Hello.

PENNY: Time to do your laundry,huh?

SHELDON: It's Saturday night. Saturday is laundry night.

PENNY: I know. Every Saturday at 8:15. Easy to anticipate.

SHELDON: What are you implying?

PENNY: I'm implying that you're a creature of habit.And if something were to prevent you from doing your laundry on Saturday at 8:15, you might find it unpleasant. Knuckle under My ass. Oh,no,are all the machines taken? What are you gonna do?

SHELDON: No problem. I'll just do my laundry another night.

PENNY: Another night? Well,I guess you can try,but deep inside your heart, you'll know that laundry night is always Saturday night.

SHELDON: Woman,you are playing with forces beyond your ken.

PENNY: Yeah,well,your ken can kiss my Barbie.

PENNY: Sheldon Sheldon! Sheldon! Sheldon. Sheldon! Sheldon.

SHELDON: Yes?

PENNY: Where are my clothes?

SHELDON: Your clothes?

PENNY: Yes,I left them in the washers and when I went down to get them,they were gone.

SHELDON: Really? Despite the sign that says "Do not leave laundry unattended"?

PENNY: Sheldon,where are my clothes?

SHELDON: You know,I do recall seeing some female undergarments. Where was that? Oh,yes... Earlier this evening,I happened to gaze out the window and a brassiere caught my eye. Do those look familiar?

PENNY: How the hell did you get them up on that telephone wire?

SHELDON: When you understand the laws of physics,Penny,anything is possible. And may I add: mwuh-ha-ha.

PENNY: Get them down.

SHELDON: Apologize.

PENNY: Never.

SHELDON: Well,then may I suggest you get a very long stick and play panty pinata.

PENNY: Look,wait,Sheldon, this has gotten out of hand,okay? I've done some stupid things. You've done some stupid things. How about we just call it even and move on with our lives?

SHELDON: I've done no stupid things.

PENNY: Look, you've got to meet me halfway here.

SHELDON: I am meeting you halfway. I'm willing to concede that you've done stupid things.

LEONARD: Hey,you guys are talking again. Good.What happened?
