The Big Bang Theory – Girls’ Night with Raj

Raj: Thanks again for letting me crash girls’ night.

Penny: Are you kidding? You brought fancy wine and made fondue. I’ve slept with guys for less. It’s a joke. Based on real events.

Raj: Anyway, I was hoping I could, uh, pick your brains a little. I’m supposed to take Lucy out Friday and I need a killer first date.

Amy: Well, evolutionary biology says that women are attracted to a man who is steady in the face of danger, so I recommend an unsafe environment. Seedy bar on the wrong side of the tracks, picnic near a lunatic asylum, a wine tasting on Skid Row.

Raj: Uh, Lucy has some, uh, social anxiety issues. Maybe we could start with something simpler.

Bernadette: Why don’t you take her to Disneyland? You go on Space Mountain, you’re in the dark, she’s holding onto you.

Penny: Yeah, but you just have to remember, that ride is shorter than you think and they take a picture of you at the end, so make sure you got your clothes back on. It’s a joke. Based on real events.

Raj: Mm, Disneyland? I don’t know. With all the crowds and the weird characters walking around, just reminds me too much of India.

Amy: I haven’t been to Disneyland since I was a kid. We should definitely go one weekend.

Bernadette: Weekends are too crowded.

Penny: So, blow off work, go on a weekday.

Amy: Hooky? I’ve never played hooky in my life. My mom said that’s how girls end up addicted to reefer and jazz music.

Penny: It’s more like how girls end up at a Best Western hotel with a 34-year-old guy named Luther.

Bernadette: Joke?

Penny: I can laugh about it now.

Bernadette: So, what do you say? This Friday we ditch work and go to Disneyland?

Penny: I’m in.

Amy: Me, too.

Raj: Excuse me, I thought we were trying to solve my problem?

Penny: Oh, yeah, right. Wait, what was your problem again?

Raj: I am a man who can’t talk to women, trying to figure out how to go on a romantic date with a girl who suffers from such crippling social anxiety she can’t be around other people.

Penny: Yeah, that’s a toughie.

Bernadette: Let’s think.
Amy: Hmm. We doing just Disney or California Adventure, too?
