'''Leonard:''' Well, you should talk to Stuart.\\
'''Sheldon:''' I can't, because that was a lie. Yours was broken in an earthquake and that's a lie.\\
'''Penny:''' What is the truth?\\
'''Sheldon:''' My Mr. Spock doll came to me in a dream and forced me to open it, and when the toy broke I switched it for yours. Later he encouraged me to do the right thing and I defied him. And then I was attacked by a Gorn.\\
'''Leonard:''' Okay, ''that'' I believe.\\

'''Sheldon:''' And Leonard, even though I don't have one anymore, I hope you have fun playing with it.\\
'''Leonard:''' And that's a lie, right?\\
