The Big Bang Theory-S01E8 Video

'The Grasshopper Experiment'
Raj introduces his parents, Dr. V.M. Koothrappali and Mrs. Koothrappali (Brian George and Alice Amter), via webcam to his friends. However, Raj immediately becomes overwhelmed after his parents try to arrange a date with Lalita Gupta (Sarayu Rao), a childhood friend and dental student, as he cannot talk to women. Howard pretends to be Raj and sets up the date with Lalita. Meanwhile, Penny takes up bar tending for some extra money. As she practices mixing drinks with the guys, they discover that after drinking an alcoholic beverage, Raj can actually talk to women. They decide the date should be at Penny's restaurant, so she and the guys can keep an eye on Raj's behavior while drinking.

However, on his date Raj becomes a very obnoxious drunk, and Lalita ends up leaving with Sheldon, who compliments her by comparing her to Princess Panchali, a princess in an Indian fairy tale. Back from the restaurant, Raj tries to explain to his parents what happened. Even though he is already upset, things become worse when his parents find out he was drinking. Leonard asks Sheldon if he's going to to see Lalita again and he replies that he already has a dentist.
