Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the internet comments about Stuart's store mentions that the owner never blinked during an entire conversation. During the first scene in the store a poster can be seen behind Stuart with the text "Keep Calm and Don't Blink". (The poster is inspired by Doctor Who (2005) and the famous British "Keep Calm" poster.)
- GoofsLeonard wants to be a "swashbuckler," but that term is more correctly applied to a slashing weapon, such as the saber. The guys are holding fencing foils, which are stabbing weapons. He is clearly referring to a shipmate or pirate who always had swords. It's just a throwaway line meant for humor.
- Quotes
Barry Kripke: Gentlemen, welcome to the fencing club. Before we start, I just want to warn you, fencing isn't a joke. I hope you're not here because you think it's going to be like Star Wars.
Leonard Hofstadter: That's not why we're here.
Raj Koothrappali: Yeah, I'm here because I think it's gonna be like Game of Thrones.
Howard Wolowitz: And maybe a little Princess Bride.
Raj Koothrappali: Ooh, ooh! I forgot about Princess Bride! That's my answer!

It seems to me that the biggest, most momentous choice of our lives is the one that none of us gets to make. I'm talking about the decision to be here, to be alive. Now before we digress into the choice of leaving this life, a subject best suited for handwritten notes left on the bed stand, let's investigate the initial premise. Simply put, we all arrive here screaming, crying and covered in goo, without prior consultation. Or so it appears. If in fact we were part of the decision to become cognizant, the memory of that process has been completely wiped from our consciousness. But what if it were retrievable? What if we could become aware of the primary decision to live, the fateful choice to participate in the world of time, energy and form? Wouldn't that improve our daily condition? No matter how difficult and confusing life was, we would always be clear on one thing, "I asked to be here. This is my choice." Of course, there's another option to consider. We are here against our will. The unending cycle of birth, life and death is a sentence. We are souls in prison. But that grim, Matrix-like scenario falls apart the minute you ask how hell on earth could possibly include gelato.

Best scene: Just like naughty schoolchildren in absence of teacher, boys indulge in silly sword fight when Kripke isn't around.
How as we grow up, we become both more mature and more child-like: Sheldon is keen to learn fencing from his once arch enemy Barry, and still would kill him in 3 years from now if Barry tried to make a move on Amy... 3 years if Barry's a teacher worth his salt :P
