[first lines]

Rajesh Koothrappali:
Mmmm! Gentlemen, I put it to you: the worst tapioca pudding is better than the best pudding of any other flavor.

Sheldon Cooper:
First off, that is axiomatically wrong because the best pudding is chocolate. Secondly, the organic structure of tapioca makes it a jiggling bowl of potential death. It is extracted from the plant...

Howard Wolowitz:
- Hey, I'm thinking of growing a mustache.

Leonard Hofstadter:
Oh, no kidding. A Fu Manchu, a handlebar, pencil?

Sheldon Cooper:
It's extracted from the plant...

Howard Wolowitz:
I'm not sure yet. You know, George Clooney has one now.

Rajesh Koothrappali:
Really? I once saw him shopping at Ralphs. He was buying tequila.

Howard Wolowitz:
Oh, you'd think a guy like that would have some kind of booze lackey.

[Sheldon's face and eyes are twitching]

Leonard Hofstadter:
Alright, this is cruel. We better let him finish before his head explodes.

Howard Wolowitz:
Alright, Sheldon, why is tapioca...

[at lightning speed]

Sheldon Cooper:
Tapioca is extracted from the root of the plant Manihot esculenta. Due to a high concentration of cyanide it is poisonous in its raw form and lethal if prepared improperly.

[takes a drink]

Rajesh Koothrappali:
Feel better now?

Sheldon Cooper:
It is also indigenous to Brazil, as is the cocoa bean from which we get chocolate, the best pudding.

[to Leonard]

Sheldon Cooper:
You promised you wouldn't do that anymore.
