Sheldon screams at Howard while riding on the back of his scooter and driving over the speed bumps on Euclid Avenue. He again asks Leonard to drive him home, which Leonard again refuses, but Howard takes Sheldon's side just for fun - which he instantly regrets as he has to take Sheldon home. This drives Penny to the point that she ejects him from her car and he has to walk to work.Īt the university, at the end of his day, Sheldon stumbles into Leonard and Howard. He also gives her pointless factoids and tries to play Periodic Table game with her. The two set off in her car and Sheldon continually annoys Penny about her check engine light and the speed bumps starts quoting studies about distracted driving, which only annoys her. Sheldon then tries his luck with Penny who was sleeping in because it is her day off.

He suggests that Sheldon take the bus, but he refuses because they won't let him bungee cord himself to the seat since they have no seat belts. Leonard refuses as he is far too exhausted because of working late in his lab at the university. Sheldon comes in and demands Leonard to drive him around to run his various errands including returning some Star Wars bedsheets to Pottery Barn, because he believes that the sheets are too distracting to sleep on. Leonard comes through the door and collapses on the couch due to exhaustion. This starts to become a huge burden on everyone, who decide on helping him get his driver's license. Sheldon then tries all his other possible chauffeurs, which are his other friends. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment next to Leonard and Sheldon’s, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend.Leonard is working nights at the university and can’t drive Sheldon to work in the mornings. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with popular women. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali.
