SHELDON: Look, it doesn’t have to just be New York, that’s the beauty of it. The initials NY, could stand for anything you like.

Orrrr, Nana Yamaguchi, the Japanese voice actress who stared in Sally, the Witch RAJ: Did you just google the initial NY? SHELDON: I had Wi-Fi, and a long plane flight, draw your own conclusions.

AMY: Sheldon, that’s not how you write a thank you card. SHELDON: What’s wrong with it? AMY TAKES CARD FROM SHELDON, READS IT AMY: Dear aunt Helen, thank you so much for the lovely place setting. If my handwriting looks strained, that is because this is the sixteenth thank you card Amy has forced me to write. The muscles in my wrist are cramping, as I struggle to finish this sentence. SHELDON HOLDS RIGHT HAND, FLEXS FINGERS. AMY: Ow, ow, oh the pain, love, Sheldon. SHELDON TAKES CARD BACK, STARTS WRITING SHELDON: Fine, “and Amy”. SHELDON GIVES CARD BACK TO AMY.

SHELDON TAKES CARD PLACES IT TO THE SIDE. SHELDON: Oh, save that care, we may need it to throw it back in their faces. AMY TAKES A BLACK RECTANGULAR CONTAINER OUT OF THE BAG. AMY: I wonder what it could be. SHELDON: Oh, it could be anything. A flute, a letter opener, one of those pens, where you put the bikini back on the naked lady. AMY OPENS THE CONTAINER, AND REMOVED THE OBJECT. THE OBJECT IS CRYSTAL AND OBLONG AMY: Ohhhhhh, isn’t this nice. AMY KEEPS LOOKING AT IT, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. SHELDON: What is it? AMY: You know, it’s a……it’s one of those…… AMY MOVES IT AROUND, TO SEE IF SOMETHING APPEARS IN IT, LIKE IN THE BIKINI PEN. AMY:……nope, doesn’t do that. SHELDON: Oh, maybe it’s candy, lick it. AMY LOOKS AT SHELDON AS IF HE’S NUTS. AMY:……I don’t want to lick it, you lick it. SHELDON: Well, I’m not going to lick it, I just brushed my teeth. AMY: Is it from one of your dumb sci-fi shows? SHELDON: None of the sci-fi shows I watch are dumb. AMY:Sheldon. SHELDON: Okay, Westworld. But, this has nothing to do with that show, other than it’s also inexplicable. AMY: Well, Leonard and Penny are our best friends, they know us better than anyone. They said it’s the perfect gift. We must be missing something. AMY AND SHELDON CONTINUE TO STARE AT IT FOR THREE BEATS. AMY: You don’t think it’s a marital aid, do you? SHELDON: Well, don’t be silly, Amy, how is this big glass shaft going to aid our marriage? SCENE C ATOM CUT TO COMIC BOOK STORE (Stuart, Denise) BOTH BEHIND THE COUNTER, STUART ON A STEPSTOOL. DENISE IS HANDING STUART BOOKS, AND HE PUT THEM UP ON THE SHELF DENISE: Do you think when Krypto, the superego, is out flying, do you think Superman has to fly after him, with a little baggie? STUART: I’ve never really thought about it before. But, he doesn’t need a baggie, because, he just blasts the poop, with his heat vision. DENISE: You thought about it before. STUART: Oh, I’ve thought about it a lot. STUART AND DENISE LAUGH TOGETHER. CUT TO HOWARD AND RAJ WATCHING STUART AND DENISE. BOTH LOOK PUZZLED. HOWARD: What is wrong with Stuart’s face? RAJ: I think he’s smiling. HOWARD: Oh, my, God, are they flirting? RAJ: They’re way past flirting, I caught them making out, at Sheldon’s wedding. HOWARD: Are you sure she wasn’t trying to breath life back into him? RAJ: I don’t think so, when I used that much tongue, at CPR training, I had to buy the dummy. DENISE LOOKS AT HER WATCH. DENISE: Ooooo, I have class, I should go. STUART: Oh, ok. Bye. THEY BOTH LOOK AT EACH OTHER, UNSURE. THEY APPROACH, STUART TO HUG, DENISE TO SHAKE HANDS. THE CHANGE, THEN STOP, LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AWKWARDLY. STUART FINALLY APPROACHES AND PATS DENISE ON THE HEAD. SHE PATS HIM ON THE HEAD, THEY BOTH LAUGH. DENISE: See you guys. DENISE WAVES AT HOWARD AND RAJ, HOWARD AND RAJ: Bye. DENISE EXITS STORE. HOWARD AND RAJ APPROACH THE FRONT COUNTER. HOWARD: So, what is her deal? Is she in to you, or does she just hate her parents? STUART: I……I don’t know. We kissed a little at the wedding, and it was great. But, we haven’t really talked about it since then, so I……I don’t know how she feels about me. HOWARD: Well, she patted you on the head, so I’m guessing she feels, like you’re such a good boy. STUART: Seriously, do you think I should ask her out? RAJ: Absolutely, don’t let love get away. It’s the most important thing in the world. Without it, life is dark and meaningless, and all you’re left with is the judgmental gaze of your dog, as you finish up a bag of Doritos on the toilet. STUART: Thanks, you’re a real good pal. STUART PATS RAJ ON THE HEAD, AS STUART WALKS BY. HOWARD: And now you’re a good boy. HOWARD RUBS RAJ HEAD, AND THEN STARTS TO WALK OFF.

AMY, THEN SHELDON SIT UP AMY: I can’t stop thinking about that present, it’s driving me crazy. SHELDON: Me too. The card said it was the perfect gift. But, it’s not a dinosaur fossil, or matching pocket watches, so I don’t see how it can be. AMY: Maybe we’re trying too hard. Maybe it’s something simple. SHELDON: (gasp) Like Leonard and Penny, yes, good. (2 beats) We just need to think like them. (deep breath) Okay, what gift can I get us, to express how grateful we are, to have us, in their lives. AMY(sarcastic): Way to make it simple. SHELDON: Na……I’m just going to ask them. SHELDON STARTS TO GET OUT OF BED. AMY STOPS HIM. AMY: No, you can’t, it’ll hurt their feelings. SHELDON: I’m okay with that. AMY: And, they know you weren’t smart enough to figure it out on your own. SHELDON: You’re right. Oh, this is awful. Now, I can’t even comfort myself, by stroking the fossilized tibia of a Pentaceratops. AMY: Let’s just go to sleep. We’ll look at it in the morning, with fresh eyes. And, maybe it will come to us. SHELDON: Fine. THEY BOTH SETTLE BACK INTO BED, UNDER THE COVERS 3 BEATS. AMY: Or, we go tear apart that box, and look for a clue. SHELDON: Staying up past my bedtime, and solving mysteries?

STUART PULLS UP ON THE WAISTBAND OF HIS UNDERWEAR. STUART: I probably should, these are no long tighty or whitey. BERNADETTE LOOKS DISGUSTED BERNADETTE: Okay, I’m out. BERNADETTE GETS UP, WALKS TO THE SINK. HOWARD: If there’s a chance someone is going to see you naked, it’s also polite to make sure you’re well groomed down there. BERNADETTE, THINKING HOWARD MEANS HER, BERNADETTE (angrily): I get it Howard, I’ve been busy. BERNADETTE, ANGRILY LEAVES THE KITCHEN. SCENE F ATOM CUT TO APARTMENT 4A (Leonard, Penny) SHELDON ENTERS APARTMENT WITHOUT KNOCKING. SHELDON: Hello SHELDON CLOSES DOOR. LEONARD AND PENNY GETTING AND DRINKING COFFEE.

Like where you were, when you you found it, and what you thought we’d enjoy doing with it. LEONARD: Do you not know what it is? PENNY: Of course he knows what it is, he’s the smartest man in the world. SHELDON: Well, I don’t know about the world, some of those Chinese fellows are pretty clever.

I believe that Amy and I have figured it out. Is it, a clue to a scavenger hunt, that will lead us to the actual present? HOWARD: If you’re asking if you and Amy should spend the next couple days, running all over town, searching for the next clue, I’m going to hafta (whispers) say yes.

LEONARD: Oh, it’s just this dumb, crystal wand that Howard and Bernadette gave us for our wedding.

BERT: Of course I know what it is. It’s a silicone dioxide crystal, otherwise known as quartz. SHELDON: Are you sure? BERT: Am I sure? Is basalt a mafic, extrusive, igneous rock, formed by the rapid cooling of magnesium and iron rich lava? Yeah, I’m sure. AMY: Okay, so it’s quartz. That’s got to mean something, what do we know about quartz? SHELDON: I’ll google it. SHELDON PULLS OUT HIS PHONE, STARTS LOOKING ONLINE. BERT: Or, you could ask me, a geologist, who won a McArthur Genius grant…… SHELDON: Got it. Quartz, from the German Quarz, which sounds the same, but is spelled without a ’t’. AMY: Interesting. No ’t’. What is not, ’t’? SHELDON: Coffee. AMY: The coffee shop, where we first met. BERT STANDS UP. BERT: All right, let’s go. AMY AND SHELDON LOOK AT BERT, STRANGELY.

IIIIIII really like Denise, and I don’t want to screw this up. RAJ: Hey, relax. Trust your instincts, that’s what I do. STUART: And that works for you? RAJ (sounds sad): (2 beats) Actually, no. I’ve made a mess of my life and I’m……I’m all alone. (2 beats) STUART: Okay, I think it’d be best for both of us, if I pretend to get a phone call, and just walk away. RAJ: Yeah, that would be best. STUART PICKS UP PHONE THAT HASN’T RANG. STUART: Hello, this is Stuart. STUART PUTS PHONE AGAINST HIS CHEST, LEANS OVER AND TOUCHES RAJ. STUART (whispers): Sorry, I’ve got to take this.
