PENNY: You guys, this is my friend Eric.
Hello.
LEONARD: So,yeah, good to see you.
PENNY: Yeah. Yeah. It's good to see you,too. We should probably go. Bye,guys.
ERIC:I like your hat.
HOWARD: Thanks, my mom made it. Penny with a new guy, tres awkward.
LEONARD:It wasn't awkward.It wasn't fun. Besides, what's the big deal? We dated, we stopped dating, and now we're both moving on.
RAJ: By moving on, do you mean she's going out with other men and you spent the afternoon making 15th-century soap with Wolowitz?
SHELDON: That was not 15th century soap. My God,those people need to learn you can't just put "ye olde" in front of anything you want and expect to get away with it.
LEONARD: Can we please just go in? My chain mail's stuck in my underwear.
SHELDON: You're wearing modern underwear?
LEONARD: Relatively modern. Why, what are you wearing?
SHELDON: I fashioned historically accurate undergarments out of linen.
LEONARD: You went out and bought linen?
SHELDON: Don't be silly. I borrowed one of your pillowcases.
LEONARD: Borrowed?
