Scene 1: The Cheesecake Factory
At the start of the scene, the entire group is present with the exception of Bernadette. They’re all seated at a table. Sheldon is hunched over some papers and calculations, so immersed in his work that Penny stops to ask what he’s doing when she sets his plate in front of him. Without looking up, he tells her abruptly that he’s “in the zone”. Penny asks what that’s supposed to mean and Amy explains that it’s difficult to say; you can’t really tell. She runs through a list of things that it has meant in the past (I don’t remember any of them, I’m afraid), and then finishes with a sort of resigned comment about how she can’t believe she didn’t even make the cut.
Howard changes the topic. He looks really excited, leaning over the table as he tells everyone that the anniversary of his first date with Bernadette is coming up, and he wants to do something romantic to celebrate the occasion. He then confesses that he’s been working on a song for her. Everyone loves the idea except for Sheldon who tells Howard that he is completely uninterested.
Bernadette arrives. As she takes a seat, she apologizes for being late, but then explains with more than a dash of enthusiasm that it’s because the lab received samples of a lethal raccoon virus. There’s some back and forth between her and the group about this virus. She remains excited through the discussion because this virus somehow translates into MONEY. There was probably more talk about the virus here. In the interest of full disclosure, my brain does not retain Science Things well. It latches onto simpler joys, like the way Sheldon’s face looks when he finally raises his eyes from his work and asks everyone, “When did we get to the Cheesecake Factory?”
