The living room of the apartment. Y/N and Sheldon are playing the three dimensional chess game from the original Star Trek series as Leonard watched. It is Sheldon's move. He takes his time, moving round the board and checking things from various angles. Finally he tentatively makes a move.

Y/N turns to Leonard.

Y/N: Do you want to checkmate him or should I do it?

Leonard: You do it.

Y/N moved.

Y/N: Checkmate.

Sheldon: You cheated, you must have.

Y/N got up and head to the kitchen to get a drink.

Y/N: Come on Sheldon, we've played 1042 times since we're kids. Are you saving I've cheated 741 matches to win?

Sheldon: Exactly.

Y/N: So you're saying my ability to cheat triumphs your ability to notice?

Sheldon: Yes.

Y/N: Yet another thing I triumph you in.

Leonard was laughing enjoying seeing Sheldon being humbled, who looked like he was about to blow a gasket.

Sheldon: I'm resetting the board. I want a rematch.

Penny (knocking and entering): Hi guys.

Leonard: Hey!

Penny: Did you get my mail.

Leonard: Yeah, right here. How was Nebraska?

Penny: Oh, better than North Dakota! (Pause) I guess that joke's only funny in Nebraska.

Sheldon: From the data at hand you really can't draw that conclusion. All you can say with absolute certainty is that that joke is not funny here.

Penny: Boy, it's good to be back.

Y/N: How was your family?

Penny: Ugh, it was the worst trip, everyone got sick over the weekend.

Sheldon: Sick?

Leonard: Here we go.

Sheldon (running to opposite side of the room): What kind of sick?

Y/N: Sheldon relax. She's fine now.

Sheldon: I don't need to relax, I need to know, now when did the symptoms first appear?

Penny: Maybe Friday.

Sheldon: Friday, was that morning or afternoon?

Penny: I... I don't...

Sheldon: Think woman, who blew their nose and when?

Leonard: Sheldon, relax, she doesn't have any symptoms, I'm sure she's not contagious.

Sheldon: Oh please, if influenza was only contagious after symptoms appear it would have died out thousands of years ago. Somewhere between tool using and cave painting, homo habilus would have figured out to kill the guy with the runny nose.

Leonard: Penny, you'll have to excuse Sheldon, he's a bit of a germophobe.

Penny: Oh, it's okay, I understand.

Sheldon: Thanks for your consideration, now please leave.

Y/N: You'd better go before he starts spraying you with Lysol.

Penny: Okay, well, thank you for getting my mail.

Leonard: No problem. Welcome home. (Sees Penny out. Turns to find Sheldon spraying the air with Lysol.)
