Dr. John Sturgis: Wait, is that something?
Dr. Prakash: No.
Dr. John Sturgis: Oh. [groans]
...
Dr. Linkletter: What about that?
Dr. Prakash: No, that's within the standard deviation.
Dr. Linkletter: Aha.
[Sheldon drinks from his can of Yoo-Hoo]

Dr. John Sturgis: Grant. I finished reading Ed Witten's article on the Landau-Ginzburg orbifold.
Dr. Linkletter: I'm almost done with one on Planckian scattering.
Dr. John Sturgis: I don't know why we were so reluctant to dive into these new theories.
Dr. Linkletter: Agreed.
Dr. John Sturgis: Exciting stuff.
Dr. Linkletter: Thrilling.
Dr. John Sturgis: So thrilling.
Dr. Linkletter: A little hard to parse.
Dr. John Sturgis: A bit enigmatic.
Dr. Linkletter: I had to read the same paragraph four times.
Dr. John Sturgis: I fell asleep on one paper, drooled all over it.
Dr. Linkletter: Huh.

Dr. John Sturgis: Okay, how about this? We take one of these papers, buckle down and figure it out together.
Dr. Linkletter: Teamwork, I like it. [John chuckles]
Dr. John Sturgis: Oh.
Dr. Linkletter: Actually, could you move it a bit closer? That's a little fuzzy.
Dr. John Sturgis: Uh... Now it's fuzzy for me.
Dr. Linkletter: Put on your cheaters.
Dr. John Sturgis: I forgot them on the bus.
Dr. Linkletter: I have an extra pair, would you like them?
Dr. John Sturgis: That would be lovely.
Dr. Linkletter: Teamwork. [both chuckle]

Dr. John Sturgis: Hi, Sheldon.
Sheldon: Hello.
Dr. John Sturgis: I was hoping I could pick your brain about some of the latest breakthroughs in string theory. And, uh, maybe we keep this between us. Uh, Dr. Linkletter doesn't need to know. [Sheldon opens his door wider] Grant?
Dr. Linkletter: John.
Dr. John Sturgis: I can't believe you went to Sheldon behind my back.
Dr. Linkletter: You're doing the same exact thing.
Dr. John Sturgis: Yeah, well, you did it first!
Sheldon: In or out? I don't have all night. [John flashes a quick smile and walks in]
