Inside their apartment, the decor is formal but filled with homespun touches like needlepoint pillows that read 'Fly first class or your children will.' And while Leonard and Evelyn's demeanor is careful-around a coffee table he sits in an ergonomically correct chair he has rolled over from behind his desk; she drinks a red-colored juice from a glass covered with plastic wrap impaled by a straw-their chemistry is undeniable. He admits to wearing pink shirts and ties to please his wife. ('My underwear is blue,' he insists.) When Evelyn first walks into the room, Leonard says, 'Don't you look pretty.'

他们的公寓装饰得非常庄重，不过也充满着许多家纺制品，比如绣着“坐头等舱，你不坐你的孩子也会坐”的刺绣枕头。尽管伦纳德和伊夫林的行为举止非常谨慎── 在矮茶几边，伦纳德坐在了从书桌后面拉出来的人体工程学座椅上；伊夫林从覆盖着保鲜膜的杯子里用吸管吸着红色的果汁──但他们之间的“化学反应”是显而易见的。他承认自己穿粉色衬衫和戴粉色领带是为了取悦他的妻子。（“我的内裤是蓝色的，”他坚称。）当伊夫林第一次走进房间的时候，伦纳德说，“你看起来真美。”

'That's so sweet,' she replies, coy as a teenager. She was in fact a teenager when they met. Leonard lent her a book and then would call her to ask if she had finished reading it. She would tell him she hadn't to ensure he would call again.

'I had to marry her to get the book back,' Leonard says. 'Maybe I should have just bought another copy.' Evelyn bats her Estée Lauder mascara-covered eyelashes: 'It would have cost you less,' she says.

“你真好，”她回答说，害羞得像个十几岁的年轻人。实际上当两人第一次见面的时候他们都只有十来岁。伦纳德借给伊夫林一本书，然后打电话问她书读完了没有。她会告诉伦纳德还没有读完，这样伦纳德就会再给她打来电话了。

“为了把书要回来，我必须要娶她，”伦纳德说。“也许我当时应该再买一本算了。”伊夫林扑闪着她那涂着雅诗兰黛睫毛膏的睫毛说：“那你就省钱了。”
