Sex & hookups 5 moments
How Sex & hookups shows up in The Big Bang Theory S11 E8:
You're just saying that 'cause she's sleeping with you.
I am not fist bumping you after we have sex.
So what did you do? What do you think I did? I made small talk for 20 minutes and had sex again.
If I do that, she's gonna confront Ruchi, and then Ruchi's gonna stop sleeping with me.
Isn't he sexy all fired up? He really gets my current alternating, if you know what I mean.
