Comparison:
Well, at least now you can retrieve the black box from the twisted smoldering wreckage that was once your fantasy of dating her and analyze the data so that you don't crash into geek mountain again.
Writers Prady, Molaro, and Lorre were all too willing to put one of their Big Bang characters in a harmful flight pattern so as to allow “Leonard“ to push his friend into an uncomfortable metaphoric mountain (Geek Mountain!). All to offer panache to characters' interactions concerning unsuccessful dating or romantic desires depicted early in the first season of The Big Bang Theory.
Context:
Sheldon:
Please don't tell me that your hopeless infatuation is devolving into pointless jealousy.
Leonard:
No, I'm not jealous, I'm just a little concerned for her. I didn't like the look of the guy that she was with.
Howard:
Because he looks better than you?
Leonard:
Yeah. He was kinda dreamy.
Sheldon:
Well, at least now you can retrieve the black box from the twisted smoldering wreckage that was once your fantasy of dating her and analyze the data so that you don't crash into geek mountain again.
Howard:
I disagree, love is not a sprint, it's a marathon. A relentless pursuit that only ends when she falls into your arms. Or hits you with the pepper spray.
Leonard:
Well, I'm done with Penny. I'm going to be more realistic and go after someone my own speed.
