A retelling of the first episode where Sheldon lives alone in apartment 4B and meets two young ladies who move in across the hall. Part 3, Sheldon continues to talk Physics. Everything belongs to Lorre and Prady.

The next Friday night, Leonard and Howard had just been hugged by Penny and Bernadette when there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock "Penny and Bernadette", knock knock knock "Penny and Bernadette", knock knock knock "Penny and Bernadette".

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, as promised I bring pizza."

Sheldon put the pizza down on the table, took his seat and immediately started talking Physics.

Five minutes later Sheldon finally realised that nobody was paying attention to what he was saying but that everyone was looking at him in a rather strange way.

"Ah, excuse me. I very rarely socialise these days, you didn't want to hear me talk Physics all night did you? I had such a good time talking with Dr. Hofstadter last week. Please forgive me, I am not being a considerate guest..."

Monday morning at Caltech. Leonard was in his lab hard at work when he heard a knock at the door.

Knock knock knock "Dr. Hofstadter", knock knock knock "Dr. Hofstadter", knock knock knock "Dr. Hofstadter".

"Dr. Cooper! What brings you here?"

"You bring me here Dr. Hofstadter. I would like to be able to regularly talk Physics with you and any others of your colleagues who may be competent enough to understand my work. Could you please follow me to Professor Gablehauser's office."

Five minutes later.

"Dr. Cooper, I didn't expect you here for another 3 weeks."

"Well Professor Gablehauser I am pleased to tell you that you will no longer have to try and pretend to understand what I am telling you about my research. I have recently got to know two of my new neighbours, one of whom is Dr. Hofstadter's girlfriend. In a recent social gathering I have found that Dr. Hofstadter has a surprisingly strong grasp of my work considering that he is only an experimental physicist. I intend to come to Caltech one day a week for the foreseeable future to discuss my work with Dr. Hofstadter and any other competent physicists involved in research.

Please arrange a seminar room for me for the rest of the day and invite the rest of the competent physicists to discuss my work. I will determine who is worthy. I will need office space one day a week from next week."

Two hours later.

"Well Dr. Hofstadter, the Caltech physicists aren't all as smart as you. Of the dozen I talked with only Dr. Kripke and Dr. Winkle have any idea about my research. You three have made the cut."

"Would you like some lunch Dr. Hofstadter? I normally have lunch with Howard Wolowitz."

"That would be acceptable, I will let you return to your experimental work after lunch."
