LEONARD: He offered to send you to the North Pole?
SHELDON: Yes. In fact,he was quite enthusiastic. He said,"Frankly,if I could send you tonight,I would."
LEONARD: Okay,well,do you want to go?
SHELDON: Of course not. I'm a theoretical physict. A career I chosein no small part because it's indoors, but if I'm able to detect slow-moving magnetic monopoles there, I will be the scientist to confirm string theory. People will write books about me. Third-graders will create macaroni-art dioramas depicting scenes from my life.
LEONARD: Sure,maybe atableau of me trying to pummel you to death.
SHELDON: Sarcasm?
LEONARD: Maybe.
SHELDON: I'm on the horns of a dilemma. Can you imagine me,Sheldon Cooper,at the North Pole?
LEONARD: Easy peasy,I'm doing it right now.
SHELDON: I'm not good with cold,Leonard. How often have we had to leave a movie theater
because I got a headache from drinking the Icee too fast?
SHELDON: I can't go.
LEONARD: Well,then don't go.
SHELDON: How can you say that? The scientific opportunity of a life time presents itself and my best friend says "Don't go."
LEONARD: All right,then go.
SHELDON: Listen to you.How can I possibly go?
LEONARD: Sheldon,what are the words I can say right now to end this conversation and let me go back to sleep?
SHELDON: Odd,President Seibert posed the exact same question.
LEONARD: How was it resolved?
SHELDON: It wasn't. His wife set their dogs on me and rendered the question moot.
