The stairwell. The guys are carrying kites.

Leonard: Kites, ho!

Howard: Kites ho!

Raj: Kites ho!

All three: Kites, ho!

Sheldon: Excuse me. You're misusing the word ho. It's an interjection used to call attention to a destination, not an object, as in, uh, Land, ho! Or, uh, Westward, ho!

The three guys: Kites, ho!

Penny: Hey, guys. What you doing? Going out to discover electricity?

Leonard: If you're referring to the work of Benjamin Franklin, he did not discover electricity, he merely used a kite to determine that lightning consists of electricity. He also invented the Franklin stove, bifocals and the flexible urinary catheter. Kites, ho.

Leonard: We're heading out for some kite fighting.

Penny: Kite fighting?

Leonard: Oh, yeah. It's an extremely competitive, cutthroat sport.

Sheldon: Well, actually, the risk of throat cutting is very low. On the other hand, severe string burn is a real and ever-Present danger.

Leonard: You want to come watch?

Penny: Oh, gee, sounds amazing, but, um, I've got some friends coming over. Not a big thing, we're just gonna watch the Nebraska game.

Leonard: Oh. Football, sure.

Howard: Good guess.

Penny: I would've invited you, but I know you're not a football fan.

Leonard: No, no, I'm not, so, great. You've got plans doing something you like, I've got plans doing something I like, so it's good.

Penny: Well, maybe we'll hang out later, you know, after everybody's gone.

Leonard: Yeah, great.

Penny: See ya.

Leonard: Well, this sucks.

Sheldon: I'm sorry, I got bored and drifted off. Where exactly in the interaction did the sucking lie?

Raj: Leonard just realized that Penny's been hiding him from her friends because he's a tiny, little man who flies kites.

Sheldon: Oh, that certainly would suck.

In the park.

Sheldon: Wolowitz is trying to outflank us. Let out some string, add altitude and I'll go under and cut his line.

Leonard: Why wouldn't Penny want her friends to meet me?

Sheldon: Focus, Leonard, focus! The heat of battle is upon us, the dogs of war are unleashed.

Leonard: Maybe Koothrappali's right, maybe I embarrass her.

Sheldon: You're embarrassing me right now, a grown man worrying about such nonsense when in the middle of flying kites.

Leonard: Sorry.

Sheldon: Sorry won't bring their kites down. Ow! String burn! String burn!

Raj: Oh, they think we're flanking, they're playing right into our hands. On the count of three, we execute the flying scissor. One, two...

Howard: Whoa! Did you see that?

Raj: See what?

An attractive woman in gym clothes ran passed the pair.
