SHELDON: Penny? Penny? Penny? This is for you.
PENNY: Hello,Sheldon.
SHELDON: Hi.
PENNY: What is this?
SHELDON: It's a questionnaire I devised. I'm having some difficulty bonding with a colleague at work so I'm doing a little research to better understand why my current friends like me.
PENNY: Yes,well,that is a good question. But is this really the best way to figure it out?
SHELDON: I agree. The social sciences are largely hokum. But short of putting electrodes in your brain and monitoring your response to my companionship, this is the best I can do.
PENNY: Okay,"Question one: "Rank the following aspects of Sheldon Cooper "in order of appeal:" ruthless attention to hygiene; playfulness; JAVA applet writing"?
SHELDON: I know I may have started off with a fairly obvious one, you did an aspect of my most appealing trait: playfulness. Why don't you just go ahead and rank that number one? I'm afraid you're on your own for the rest. It should take you no more than three hours.
PENNY: Well,wait. How many questions are on this thing?
SHELDON: Only 211. Don't worry. In deference to you,I kept them all at a high school graduate reading level.
PENNY: Thanks,pal.
SHELDON: You got it... buddy.
PENNY: Sheldon,honey,did you ever consider making friends by being,I don't know,pleasant?
SHELDON: Well,that's certainly a thought-provoking hypothesis. May I suggest it as the topic for your essay? Your questionnaire,very disappointing.
LEONARD: I answered every question,Sheldon.
SHELDON: You answered the multiple choice questions in a pattern: A- B-A-C.A- B-A-C.
LEONARD: Oh,you picked up on that,huh?
SHELDON: How could I not?
