Howard:Sheldon, if you were a robot, and I knew and you didn't... ...would you want me to tell you?

Sheldon :That depends. When I learn that I'm a robot... will I be able to handle it?

Howard:Maybe-- although the history of science fiction is not on your side.

Sheldon :Okay, let me ask you this-- when I learn that I'm a robot, would I be bound by Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics?

Raj:You might be bound by them right now.

Howard:That's true.Have you ever harmed a human being or through inaction allowed a human being to come to harm?

Sheldon :Of course not.

Howard:Have you ever harmed yourself or allowed yourself to be harmed except in cases where a human being would have been endangered?

Sheldon : Well, no.

Howard:I smell robot.
