(Howard, Rajesh, and Shel

t in a circle around a game of Jenga they are playing.)

Howard: Sheldon, if you were a robot and I knew and you didn't ... would you want me to tell you?

Sheldon: That depends. When I learn that I'm a robot ... will I be able to handle it?

Howard: Maybe, although the history of science-fiction is not on your side.

Sheldon: Uh, let me ask you this. When I learn that I'm a robot, would I be bound by Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics?

Rajesh: (eyeing Sheldon suspiciously) You might be bound by them right now.

Howard: That's true. Have you ever harmed a human being or through inaction allowed a human being to come to harm?

Sheldon: Of course not.

Howard: Have you ever harmed yourself or allowed yourself to be harmed except in cases where a human being would have been endangered?

Sheldon: Well, no.

Howard: (to Rajesh) I smell robot.

(Leonard enters the apartment.)

Sheldon: The internet's been down for half an hour.

Rajesh: Also, Sheldon may be a robot
