Penny:I like hanging out with you guys.

Leonard:Us guys?

Penny:Yeah, you know, Sheldon, Howard, Raj.Who all's coming?

Leonard:They... might all be there. Or a subset of them might be there.Algebraically speaking,there are too many unknowns. For example, Sheldon had Quiznos for lunch. Sometimes he finds that filling,other times he doesn't. It's no fault of Quiznos--they have a varied menu.

Penny:Okay, whatever.It sounds like fun.
