I would suggest something to be a fact of

Singing is neither an appropriate vocation

Nor avocation for you, and if you disagree,

I'd recommend you have a cat scan

To look for a tumor pressing

On the cognitive processing centers of your brain.

I couldn't say that.

I would have to say, "you were terrific

And I can't wait to hear you sing again."

Why?

That's the social protocol.

It's what you do when you have a friend

Who's proud of something they really suck at.

I was not aware of that.

Well, now you are. oh.

All right. leonard?

Yes?

When we played chess earlier,

You were terrific, and I can't wait to play you again.

Good night.

Leonard?

Leonard?

Leonard?

This would be so much easier

If I were a violent sociopath.

Leonard? leonard?

What?

I was analyzing our lie, and I believe we're in danger

Of penny seeing through the ruse.

How?

Simple, If she were to log onto

Www.socalphysixsgroup.org /activities/other,

Click on "upcoming events," scroll down to "seminars,"

Download the pdf schedule,

And look for the seminar on molecular positronium,

Well than...

Our pants are metaphorically on fire.

Well, sir, my trousers will not be igniting today.

Penny?

Penny?

Penny?

Good morning.

Do you have any idea what time it is?

Of course I do.

My watch is linked to the atomic clock

In boulder, colorado.

It's accurate to one-tenth of a second.

But as I'm saying this, it occurs to me

That, once again, your question may have been rhetorical.

What do you want?

Remember how leonard told you

We couldn't come to your performance

Because we were attending a symposium

On molecular positronium?

I remember "symposium."

Yes. well... he lied.

Wait.

What?

He lied

And I'm feeling very uncomfortable about it.

Well, imagine how I'm feeling.

Hungry?

Tired?

I'm sorry, this really isn't my strong suit.

You told her I lied?

Why would you tell her I lied?

To help you.

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the help.

She was going to see through your lie eventually,

So I told her that you were lying to protect me.

Ohh... I'm getting a bad feeling.

Hunger?

Indigestion?

I'm sorry, I'm really not very good at this.

Anyway,

Penny now believes that, on friday night,

We're going to participate

In my cousin leopold's drug intervention.

Your cousin leopold.

Who most people call leo, but he also answers to lee.

Remember that. it's important.

What's important?

Details, leonard-- the success

Or failure of our deceitful enterprise

Turns on details.

Do you have a cousin leopold? no.

I made him up.

I think you'd call him lee.

I don't get it.

I already told her a lie.

Why replace it with a different lie?

Well, first of all, your lie was laughably transparent,

Where mine is exquisitely convoluted.

While you were sleeping,

I was weaving an un-unravelable web.

Un-unravelable?

Yes.

If she googles "leopold houston,"

She'll find a facebook page,

An online blog depicting his descent into drug use

And a desperate yet hopeful listing on eharmony.com.

Okay, why would I go

To a drug intervention for your cousin?

Ah! because it's in long beach, and I don't drive.

We're going to long beach?

No, of course not. there's no cousin leo.

There's no intervention.

Focus, leonard.

Aw, come on.

We just leave the house on friday night and we return

In the wee hours, emotionally wrung out,

From the work of convincing leo to go back into rehab.

He goes back into rehab?

Yes, but, he can relapse if penny

Ever invites us to hear her sing again.

You still told her I lied.

For a noble purpose-- to spare me

The social embarrassment

Of having a drug-addled first cousin--

Which I'm assuming is embarrassing, yes?

How am I supposed to remember all of this?

Oh, that's the best part. you don't have to.

See, I told penny that you would be embarrassed

If you knew that she found out that you had lied,

So she's agreed to operate

As if the original lie is still in force.

So she's expecting me to lie about going

To a symposium in pasadena,

When, in actuality, we're pretending

To go to a drug intervention in long beach.

Un-unravelable.

Oh, hey, penny.

Wow, look at you, all ready for your showcase.
