In Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, the pair were getting ready for the event they were supposed to be attending.

Sheldon: I've been thinking about time travel again.

A knock was heard on the apartment before Y/N enters in a sharp suit.

Y/N: Hey guys, ready to go?

Leonard: Yeah, Sheldon's thinking about time travel again.

Y/N: Did he hit a roadblock with invisibility again?

Sheldon: I'm putting it on the backburner. Anyway, it occurs to me, if I ever did perfect a time machine, I'd just go into the past and give it to myself, thus eliminating the need for me to invent it in the first place.

Leonard: Sounds like a breakthrough, should I call the science magazines and tell them to hold the front cover? (Exiting the apartment.)

Sheldon: It's time travel, Leonard, I will have already done that.

Leonard: Then I guess congratulations are in order.

Sheldon: No, congratulations will have been in order.

Y/N: Sorry to rain on your parade but it wouldn't be possible because general relativity suggests that time travel might only be possible in a region of spacetime that is warped a certain way, and hence time travelers would not be able to travel back to earlier regions in spacetime before this region existed like before you invented it.

Sheldon was speechless and he couldn't formulate a counterpoint making Leonard smile before he took a picture.

Leonard: Let's hope he stays like this at the party it would be a lot more enjoyable without his complaining.

Y/N: If we can avoid Dr Finkleday it might actually be fun. Last time he cornered and talked about spelunking for 45 minutes. Do you know what's interesting about caves?

Leonard: What?

Sheldon: Nothing.

Y/N (sarcastically): And he's back.

Leonard: Well then we'll avoid Finkleday, we'll meet the new department head, congratulate him, shake his hand, and go.

Sheldon: How's this? Pleased to meet you, Dr Gablehouser. How fortunate for you that the University has chosen to hire you, despite the fact that you've done no original research in 25 years, and instead have written a series of popular books that reduce the great concepts of science to a series of anecdotes, each one dumbed down to accommodate the duration of an average bowel movement. Mahalo.

Leonard: Mahalo's a nice touch.

Sheldon: Do you know there are only eight consonants in the Hawaiian language?

Leonard: Interesting, you should lead with that.

Y/N: That's going to be useful when your working as a science teacher in Hawaii.

Sheldon: I'm not going to get canned. I'm the leading physicist at Caltech.

Y/N: Second, but what do I know?

The department party. Y/N was talking to Leslie as they squirmed away from Finkleberry. Sheldon, Raj, and Leonard were at the Y/N buffet table.

Raj: Oh, God, Look at this buffet. I love America.

Leonard: You don't have buffets in India?

Raj: Of course, but it's all Indian food. You can't find a bagel in Mumbai to save your life. Schmear me.

Sheldon: Well here's an interesting turn of events.

Leonard: What? (Sees Howard entering with a statuesque blonde) Howard brought a date?
