LEONARD: Sheldon, we have to do this.
SHELDON: No, we don't. We have to take in nourishment, expel waste and inhale enough oxygen to keep our cells from dying. Everything else is optional.
LEONARD: Okay, let me put it this way: I'm doing it.
SHELDON: You can't. I'm the lead author.
LEONARD: Come on, the only reason you're the lead author is because we went alphabetically.
SHELDON: I let you think we went alphabetically to spare you he humiliation of dealing with the fact that it was my idea. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I was throwing you a bone. You're welcome.
LEONARD: Excuse me, I designed the experiment that proved the hypothesis.
SHELDON: It doesn't need proving.
LEONARD: So the entire scientific community is just supposed to just take your word?
SHELDON: They're not supposed to, but they should.
LEONARD: I don't care what you say. I'm going to the conference, presenting our findings.
SHELDON: And I forbid it.
LEONARD: You forbid it?
SHELDON: If I'm not taking credit for our work, then nobody is.
LEONARD: So you admit that it's our work?
SHELDON: No, once again, I'm throwing you a bone. And once again, you are welcome.
