They’ve made you laugh and made you cry.

Their friendship is quickly rekindled, startling Sheldon’s friends so much that they consider stepping in.
That sudden, unwanted kiss sends Sheldon off like an unstable atom, straight to the airport.
Someone should have told Leonard that.

season 3, episode 14

A chase ensues, like a modern-day Wile E. Coyote cartoon.
That’s all, folks!
