        Leonard: Penny, wait.
        Penny: Yeah?
        Leonard: Um, if you don’t have any other plans, do you want to join us for Thai food and a Superman movie marathon?
        Penny: A marathon? Wow, how many Superman movies are there?
        Sheldon: You’re kidding, right?
        Penny: Yeah, I do like the one where Lois Lane falls from the helicopter and Superman swooshes down and catches her, which one was that?
        Leonard,Sheldon and Howard together: One. (Raj raises one finger).
        Sheldon: You realise that scene was rife with scientific inaccuracy.
        Penny: Yes, I know, men can’t fly.
        Sheldon: Oh no, let’s assume that they can. Lois Lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32 feet per second per second. Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel. Miss Lane, who is now travelling at approximately 120 miles per hour, hits them, and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.
        Leonard: Unless, Superman matches her speed and decelerates.
        Sheldon: In what space, sir, in what space? She’s two feet above the ground. Frankly, if he really loved her, he’d let her hit the pavement. It would be a more merciful death.

        Leonard: Excuse me, your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Superman’s flight is a feat of strength.
        Sheldon: Are you listening to yourself, it is well established that Superman’s flight is a feat of strength, it is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from Earth’s yellow Sun.

        Sheldon: Uh, a combination of the moon’s solar reflection and the energy storage capacity of Kryptonian skin cells.
