"You're an idiot." Howard said.
"I may be an idiot, but at least I don't live with my mother!" Raj said.
"I'm going to get dinner." Leonard said.
"Don't trip and get anyone pregnant on the way." Howard said.
"Just for that, I'll have them put extra peanut sauce in the meal!" Leonard said.
Penny arrived home around midnight, Leonard was waiting by her apartment.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey, sorry. The new girl got sick, I had to close."
"That's fine." Leonard said walking into the apartment with her.
Leonard and Penny walked into the apartment, they sat on the couch together;
"How was work?" Leonard asked.
"Good, the new strawberry cheesecake is moving pretty well, we ran out twice."
"Fun."
"How is that dark matter stuff?"
"Eh, I think it's a lost cause."
"How come?"
"It's physics. Everything is a lost cause."
"I don't understand."
"Me either." He said.
"But it's your job."
"And with the exception of string theory, not much has happened since.. well, forever."
"Alright then."
"Penny?"
"Hm?"
"Is there a reason you couldn't tell me you loved me?"
