Summary
The retirement of Professor Rothman opens up an offfce that both Sheldon and Kripke want to move into. The university president makes them settle it between themselves. After they can not agree on a competitive game, the gang ends up in a gymnasium. Unfortunaetly they are both equally bad at sports and neither of them win until they have a ball bouncing contest and Sheldon wins. Typically Sheldon is thrilled with his latest acquisition until the air conditioning is too cold, the upstairs geology deparment is too noisey and the birds and windchimes outside his window are off-key. Finally his curiousity gets the better of him and he gets his head stuck in a hole in the wall, which Leonard photoographs before he goes for help.

Penny receives as gift from Amy, a large painting of the two of them that is not flattering. Amy finds that after she visited, Penny took it down. Crushed, Amy takes it back. Then Penny runs over to Amy's apartment to save their friendship and takes the painting back after claiming that Bernardette was jealous over it. Now it hangs on the virtual wall of her apartment and it is no longer seen by the studio audience.

Leonard: ''Alright, this is one-on-one. First person to five wins. Any questions? (Sheldon raises his hand) Yes, Sheldon?''

Sheldon: Five what?

Sheldon: ''Use the Force, Sheldon! (throws the basketball, but it does not even reach the height of the hoop) I may need more Force!''
