(At Caltech during lunch. Sheldon is seething and moping while the rest of the guys are laughing at Leonard's story)
R: (laughing) Oh dude, you should have recorded it and put it on YouTube!
H: Yeah, I can't believe I missed it? Did he faint and pee himself again?
L: Surprisingly no. He handled it pretty well. (He looks encouragingly at Sheldon)
S: (He glares back) That was mean…
L: Oh come on, stop pouting. It was a joke; it was supposed to be funny!
S: It wasn't funny!
R: Really? Because it sounded pretty damn funny to me.
L: It was just a silly gag, there was no real harm! The knife was fake from a prank store.
S: She used my catchphrase!
L: Well, Penny's very sorry about that.
S: No she's not-
L: Yes, she is! She was telling me all about it! She says she'll never use it again! (Cheerfully)
S: She signed a contract with me after we first met that she would never use my catchphrase! She violated my trust and her word!
L: Yeah, I know, we all did…
S: That contract specifically states that no one should use that catchphrase; it's legal under California state law!
L: Okay, I give up.
H: (Turns to Leonard) So, were you in on it the whole time?
L: I wasn't in the plan-creating process, but yeah. Penny told me all about it last night and then we bought the hockey mask-
S: You were in on it? I thought we were friends!
L: We are friends! (Defensively) Will you relax? It was just a prank.
H: Yeah, just grow a pair and get over it, already. It happens.
S: Grow a pair?
H: Yeah.
S: Of what?
H: (sarcastically) of pansies, obviously.
S: That's a peculiar expression?
(Amy walks up to Sheldon, as she now works at Caltech for the time being.)
A: Hello Sheldon, I hope there's no ill feelings-
S: And you! I expected better from you Amy Farrah Fowler! Engaging in this little trick of mutiny against me!
A: (sighs) yeeeaaah, I thought so… (strikes a more sympathetic tone) It was just a prank, Sheldon! Friends play pranks on their friends sometimes to show that they care for one another!
S: (rubs his hands together) Oh, in that case, it's high time I pay that Nebraskan hillbilly what's coming to her!
L: Oh, you're not seriously going to get revenge, are you?
S: Sheldon Lee Cooper never accepts defeat! I'm going to show her not to mess with me, or my catchphrase!
A: Oh, can I be in on it? (She sits down next to him) I suggested a whoopee cushion yesterday, but Penny turned it down. Since I know you believe whoopee cushions still have comic validity, I thought I should throw that back on the table!
H: Wait, you mean everyone pitched ideas? What were the other ones?
A: Well, Penny was going to release a chicken in the apartment.
S: What? That's not a prank, chickens are nowhere near humorous! No, they're dastardly, EVIL birds that like chasing you up trees!
H: You guys should have gone with the chicken.
S: (glares at Howard) (turns back to Amy) No matter, you have no need to help me Amy. As of now, we are enemies.
A: What? Why?
S: You, Penny, and Bernadette, all played a nasty prank on me. I'm going to reciprocate.
A: You mean you're going to play a prank on me?
S: (stops to think) (casually) Hm, no, I believe Penny was the mastermind of this entire rebellion. You, on the other hand, are one of Penny's backups. You're off Team Sheldor.
R: You mean she was on at some point?
S: Yes…for a few seconds. But now she's off! (Turns to Amy) Go away; I'm going to start scheming against your prank queen.
A: But I'm your ride to the train store after work?
S: Oh, our companionship remains the same. You just can't be involved in my prank scheming. You've proven yourself not to be trusted.
A: Fine, but I'm not taking you to the train store!
S: (innocently) What, why not?
A: And I'm telling Penny about what you plan on doing! (She leaves to eat her lunch with her colleagues)
S: But that's tattle-telling!
R: Ha-ha, someone's in trouble with their girlfriend!
S: I'm not in trouble; she's just refusing to abide to my wishes for some reason. Women are so confusing sometimes. That reminds me, Leonard, you're going to have to drive me to the train store after work today.
L: Why do you need to go there!?
S: My train whistle broke…
H: Did you sit on it?
S: No...I just have a hunch that someone else has been using it. Now it feels like its validity is tarnished.
R: So, are you going to come up with some sort of badass team name?
S: Of course. For now, I'm deciding on the animal symbol that will be representing my name sake.
R: How about a bear?
S: No, they live in caves, like animals. And bears are terrifying.
H: I don't know, I think a terrifying flesh-tearing animal totally represents you?
L: How about a praying mantis?
(The other guys laugh)
S: I don't understand the comic value?
L: I know, that's part of the joke.
S: Praying mantises aren't that strong. A team animal is supposed to be something strong…
L: Don't make it an army ant again….
S: Why not? Army ants are perfectly reusable. Under this context, I mean.
R: Okay, I just looked up 'strong animals' on Google images and I think- HEY, a little hamster lifting weights! That's so adoooorable!
H: (leans over and looks at Raj's phone) How about a monkey? You strike me as a monkey man.
S: No, monkeys are Amy's favorite animal. She might think I wish she were on my team, or that I dedicated my team animal to her or something. She's kind of like that.
R: Hey, that's funny, this squirrel has photoshopped muscles.
S: Gentlemen, focus! We need something to represent me, so maybe we should be looking at animals with high intellect. Perhaps an octopus? Or a dolphin?
R: I'll look it up, this should be good. (Looking it up) Dog's with glasses!
S: Okay, I've decided. I'm picking koalas.
H: Koalas? Where in hell did you get that from?
S: I like koala bears… (Smiles) and, despite what the name states, they aren't actually bears!
R: (laughing) Monkeys operating cellphones! Oh Google images, how I love you!
