Rachel looks up, surprised and flustered.

RACHEL: "Oh, hello!"

The guy responds enthusiastically. An image of Stephen Hawking appears in a thought bubble.

DARK-HAIRED GUY: "It's those big lips."

Rachel thinks to herself with a satisfied smirk, imagining Stephen Hawking again.

RACHEL: (thinking) "Good ol' Hawking. No geek can resist!"

I had the biggest crush on Stephen Hawking. So smart, so sexy, so unable to runaway.

I love her face in the second panel when Lyle sneaks up on her. That is totally her “squee!” face.
