This is ridiculous.

I'm jumping in.

Good luck.

No,you're coming with me.

Oh,I hardly think so.

Oh,come on.

Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass you?

Yes; but I need a wing man.

All right,but if we're going to use flight metaphors,

I'm much more suited to being the guy from the FAA analyzing wreckage.

Hi.

Hi. Hello.

So what are you supposed to be?

Me? I'll give you a hint.

A choo-choo train?

Close!

A brain damaged choo-choo train?

How wasted am I?

I still don't get it.

I'm the Doppler effect.

Okay,if that's some sort of learning disability,

I think it's very insensitive.

Why don't you just tell people you're a zebra?

Well,why don't you just tell people you're one of the seven dwarves?

Because I'm Frodo.

Yes,well,I'm the Doppler effect.

- Oh,no. - What?

That's Penny's ex-boyfriend.

What do you suppose he's doing here?

Besides disrupting the local gravity field.

If he were any bigger,he'd have moons orbiting him.

Oh,snap.

So,I guess we'll be leaving now.

Why should we leave?

For all we know he crashed the party and Penny doesn't even want him here.

You have a backup hypothesis?

Maybe they want to be friends.

Or maybe she wants to be friends and he wants something more.

Then he and I are on equal ground.

Yes,but you're much closer to it than he is.

Look,if this was 1,500 years ago,

by virtue of his size and strength,

Kurt would be entitled to his choice of female partners.

And male partners,animal partners, large primordial eggplants--

pretty much whatever tickled his fancy.

Yes,but our society has undergone a paradigm shift.

In the Information Age,Sheldon,

you and I are the alpha males.

We shouldn't have to back down.

True.

Why don't you text him that and see if he backs down?

No.

I'm going to assert my dominance face-to-face.

Face-to-face? Are you going to wait for him to sit down,

or are you going to stand on the coffee table?

Hello,Penny.

Hello,Kurt.

Oh,hey,guys,are you having a good time?

Given the reaction to my costume,

this party is a scathing indictment of the American education system.

What,you're a zebra,right?

Yet another child left behind.

And what are you supposed to be,an elf?

No,I'm a hobbit.

What's the difference?

A hobbit is a mortal halfling inhabitant of Middle Earth,

whereas an elf is an immortal,tall warrior.

So why the hell would you want to be a hobbit?

Because he's neither tall nor immortal

and none of us could be The Flash.

Well,whatever.

Why don't you go hop off on a quest?

I'm talking to Penny here.

I think we're all talking to Penny here.

I'm not. No offense.

Okay,maybe you didn't hear me.

- Go away. - All right,Kurt,be nice.

Oh,I am being nice.

Right,little buddy?

- Kurt. - Okay.

I understand your impulse to try to physically intimidate me.

I mean,you can't compete with me on an intellectual level

so you're driven to animalistic puffery.

You calling me a puffy animal?

Of course not. No,he's not.

You're not,right,Leonard?

No,I said "animalistic."

Of course we're all animals,

but some of us have climbed a little higher on the evolutionary tree.

If he understands that,you're in trouble.

So,what,I'm unevolved?

You're in trouble.

You know,you use a lot of big words for such a little dwarf.

Okay,Kurt,please.

Penny,it's okay. I can handle this.

I am not a dwarf,

I'm a hobbit.

A hobbit.

Are misfiring neurons in your hippocampus preventing the conversion

from short-term to long-term memory?

Okay,now you're starting to make me mad.

A homo habilis discovering his opposable thumbs says what?

What?

I think I've made my point.

Yeah? How about I make a point out of your pointy little head?

Let me remind you,while my moral support is absolute,

in a physical confrontation,I will be less than useless.

There's not going to be a confrontation.

In fact,I doubt if he can even spell "confrontation."

C-O-N...
C-O-N...

frontation!
frontation!
