HOWARD: What do you mean you didn't get the job? How could you not get it?

RAJ: You know, he’s British, I'm Indian. Ever since Gandhi, they haven't liked us very much.

LEONARD: Wait,are you saying that he discriminated against you? Because we should file a complaint.

RAJ: That's okay. A complaint's been filed. So,that's it. That was my last hope. I'm going to be deported, Sent home in disgrace, Exposed to the sardonic barb of my cousin Sanjay. Or,as you may know him, Dave from at&t customer service.

HOWARD: I'm really going to miss you.

RAJ: Will you come visit me India?

HOWARD: Gee,that's,like,a 17-hour flight. How about I meet you halfway?

RAJ: Halfway is 600 miles off the coast of Japan.

HOWARD: Tell you what,we'll Skype.

SHELDON: Gentlemen.

LEONARD: Hey.?

SHELDON: Raj, Did you get a job with Professor Laughlin?

RAJ: No.?

SHELDON: I assumed as much. But never fear. Like the subordinate male protagonist in countless action movies Who disappears half way through the second reel, I have returned to save the day. Odd. Usually,he's met by cheers. Anyway, I was thinking about exploring The string theory implications Of gamma rays from dark matter annihilations, And it occurred to me that I could benefit--

LEONARD: Excuse me, Sheldon. How many reels before the subordinate male protagonist get to the point?
