Leonard was sitting at the kitchen table, watching over Elliott: he was playing on the floor with his teddy bear. Penny was standing near the window, glancing outside while cradling Marie.
«We're back!» cried Amy, as soon as she entered the house.
«Hiii» Penny greeted them.
«Sheldon, we were thinking that maybe you could show us around today: maybe go to the city center or to your workplace» suggested Leonard, while bending and gently stroking his son's head.
«Speaking about work... – Sheldon said – Amy, don't you think that if we ask Mr. Aponte politely he'll lend us his yacht?»
«I mean... we could try... He sure is a fan of ours...»
«Who is this Mr. Aponte?» asked Leonard.
«Just the richest person in Switzerland: Sheldon and I helped him develop a new and more efficient model of cruise ship just for fun... He has adored us ever since» Amy responded calmly.«But what do you want to do with the yacht, Sheldon?»
«We could go back to Pasadena» Sheldon's voice seemed annoyed by that silly question.
«Even if we want to, Marie can't travel: she's too little!»
«Wrong: she can travel, just not by airplane»
«But it will take us forever, not to mention all the dangers we could come across in the open Ocean» Penny complained.
«Penny's right Sheldon...» said Amy.
«But we have to go back» insisted Sheldon, he was getting nervous.
«Why?» Leonard asked him.
«Because we can't stay here. YOU can't stay here. We have to go back and be with the others» Sheldon pitch became higher and higher for each word he spoke.
«Marie can't fly! You can't go back» shouted Leonard in response.
Just like that, out of the blue, Sheldon screamed from the top of his lungs: «I CAN'T LET YOU SPEND THE REMAIN OF YOUR LIFE IN THIS STUPID COUNTRY. WE HAVE TO GO BACK»
