The Big Bang Theory – Two Nerds In Love

Amy: Sheldon, can I come in?

Sheldon: I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Amy: Why not?

Sheldon: According to an online message board, I may be having a panic attack. SoccerMom09 had similar symptoms. But to be fair, the twins were a real handful that day.

Amy: You’re making me worry. What’s going on?

Sheldon: What’s going on is we’re about to go to a prom. And there’s a great deal of pressure on young couples like us to engage in what Mr. Bob Eubanks called making whoopee.

Amy: What pressure? All I said was you look handsome. Can you please open the door?

Sheldon: It’s not just that. Leonard and Penny also made comments about it. And I’m not blind. Even I looked twice when I saw my posterior in these tuxedo pants.

Amy: Sheldon, this is silly. I’m not missing another prom. I’m going upstairs now. Good-bye.

Sheldon: I really did think you looked pretty.

Amy: You did?

Sheldon: Yes. So much so that I started to panic.

Amy: Well, you can relax. Just because you think I look pretty doesn’t mean we have to spend the night together.

Sheldon: Were you hoping we would because it’s prom?

Amy: I’m always hoping. But tonight I just wanted to have a nice time with you. And maybe dance with someone who has arms.

Sheldon: Thank you for understanding.

Amy: Of course I understand. Sheldon, there’s something else I’ve been wanting to say, but before I do, I just, I want you to know that you don’t have to say it back. I know you’re not ready, and I don’t want you to say it just because social convention dictates…

Sheldon: I love you, too.

Amy: You said it.

Sheldon: There’s no denying I have feelings for you that can’t be explained in any other way. I briefly considered that I had a brain parasite. But that seems even more farfetched. The only conclusion was love. I know what’s happening. This is a panic attack. SoccerMom09 says to lie down with your feet elevated.

Amy: Okay.

Sheldon: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just because I love you doesn’t mean girls are allowed in my room.
