We see Sheldon, and Leonard walking through a corridor.

Sheldon:
So if a photon is directed through a plane with two slits in it and either slit is observed it will not go through both slits. If it's unobserved it will, however, if it's observed after it's left the plane but before it hits its target, it will not have gone through both slits.

Leonard:
Agreed, what's your point?

Sheldon:
There's no point, I just think it's a good idea for a tee-shirt.

They both walk into a room that appears to be a waiting room with a receptionist who was looking at a newspaper.

Leonard:
Excuse me?

Receptionist:
Hang on.

She said looking at her paper, presumably the crossword section. Leonard then pointed at the crossword to help her.

Leonard:
One across is Aegean, eight down is Nabakov, twenty-six across is MCM, fourteen down is... move your finger... phylum, which makes fourteen across Port-au-Prince. See, Papa Doc's capital idea, that's Port-au-Prince. Haiti.

She glared at him for taking the fun out it.

Receptionist:
Can I help you?

Leonard:
Yes. Um, is this the High IQ sperm bank?

She continued to glare at him.

Receptionist:
If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be here.

Sheldon:
I think this is the place.

Receptionist:
Fill these out.

She handed them clipboards.

Leonard:
Thank-you. We'll be right back.

They go to sit down.

Receptionist:
Oh, take your time. I'll just finish my crossword puzzle. Oh wait.

They sit and begin to fill in forms.

Sheldon:
Leonard, I don't think I can do this.

Leonard:
What, are you kidding? You're a semi-pro.

Sheldon:
No. We are committing genetic fraud. There's no guarantee that our sperm is going to generate high IQ offspring, think about that. I have a sister with the same basic DNA mix who hostesses at Fuddruckers.

Leonard:
Sheldon, this was your idea. Ethan told us that we need a little extra money to get the fractional T1 bandwidth in the apartment.

Sheldon:
I know, and I do yearn for faster downloads, but there's some poor woman is going to pin her hopes on my sperm, what if she winds up with a toddler who doesn't know if he should use an integral or a differential to solve the area under a curve.

Leonard:
I'm sure she'll still love him.

Sheldon:
I wouldn't.

Leonard:
Well, what do you want to do?

Sheldon:
I want to leave.

Leonard:
Okay.

Sheldon:
What's the protocol for leaving?

Leonard:
I don't know, I've never reneged on a proffer of sperm before.

Sheldon:
Let's try just walking out.
