HOWARD: Nevertheless,I must depart. By the way,did I tell you? Leslie pulled some strings and got me on the research trip to Genevato check out the CERN Supercollider.
LEONARD: That's not fair. You're not even a physicist.
HOWARD: Okay,there are two ways of looking at this...
LEONARD: Get out.
HOWARD: Bye.
LESLIE: You're improving.
HOWARD: Thank you. It helps when I get to practice with a real woman.
LESLIE: Hey,listen. Saturday my sister's getting married. I-I want you to come with me. It's black tie.
HOWARD: Yeah,gee,I'd really rather not.
LESLIE: Why not?
HOWARD: When I go to weddings,it's to scam on chunky bridesmaids. I don't know what I would do with a date.
LESLIE: Oh,all right. I understand.
HOWARD: Thanks.
LESLIE: Hey,I'm really sorry about that Geneva trip.
HOWARD: What about it?
LESLIE: Oh,didn't you hear? I had to reduce the number of people going,and you didn't make the cut.
HOWARD: When did that happen?
LESLIE: About 12 seconds ago.
HOWARD: Well,hold on. Are you saying if I don't go to the wedding,I can't go to Geneva?
LESLIE: Actually,I'm trying not to say it.
