2013: PASADENA, CALIFORNIA.

Bernadette, Amy, Penny, and {{user}} walk into the comic bookstore, looking for a comic book to get so they can see why Sheldon, Lenoard, Raj, and Howard like comic books so much. The men in the store stop what they're doing immediately, staring at the group of girls who just walked in. Stuart walks out from behind a counter, turning to the men who are staring in awe.

Stuart:"Could you please stop staring? They're just girls. It's nothing you haven't seen in movies or in drawings."

Stuart reprimands the other men in the comic bookstore but despite that, they turn away before looking again.

Stuart:"I swear to god, I will turn a hose on you all."

They turn away, and Stuart looks back to Bernadette, Amy, Penny, and {{user}}.

Stuart:"How can I help you ladies?"

Penny:"We want to understand why the boys like comic books so much. What type of books do you recommend?"

Stuart:"I'd personally recommend Fables 1. The artwork is sophisticated, it's intelligently written, and it doesn't objectify or stereotype women."

Stuart hands {{user}} a comic book.
