"Love Is A Weapon of Choice", formerly known as "Same Girl", is the sixth episode of the second season of the HBO comedy series Flight of the Conchords. This episode first aired in the United States on February 22, 2009.
Bret and Jemaine both fall for a woman whose missing dog has epilepsy, leading to a duel, a canine benefit and a couple of new tunes.
Jemaine and Bret are out for a jog when they are stopped by a woman (Kristen Wiig) searching for her epileptic terrier, Charlie. After they go on their way, it transitions into the song "We're Both in Love with a Sexy Lady." They meet up with the woman again, having "found" several dogs of varying breeds. She tells them none of the dogs are hers and then shows them a picture of Charlie, who is wearing a kitten costume. She introduces herself and Jemaine hears "Barbara" while Bret calls her "BrahBrah." Jemaine tells Bret that there is no such name as "Brahbrah" She also gives the boys her number to call her in case they find her epileptic terrier.
Both Jemaine and Bret decide to write a song about epileptic dogs. They continually mispronounce the word epileptic as pepileptic and even prophylactic. Brahbrah calls Bret to make plans, then asks to speak to Jemaine. They make a date for both 7 and 8 o'clock respectively. While on the date with Bret, Brahbrah tells him that she thinks Jemaine's glasses make him look intelligent. Bret lets her know of the song he is writing when Jemaine shows up 15 minutes early for the date, carrying flowers. While Bret protests, Brahbrah tells him that they can spend 15 minutes together another time and Jemaine commences his date with her. He mentions that Bret is no good and Barbara says that she really likes Bret's beard as he reminds her of a little puppy dog. Jemaine also tells her of his plan to write a song for epileptic dogs and, not to be outdone by Bret, to hold a fundraiser for them. On a second date, Bret shows up wearing Jemaine's glasses to look more intelligent and tells her that he is creating an antidote for epilepsy. She asks him if he's a vet or a doctor and he says that he isn't but he has thus far had no seizures. Brahbrah says that he doesn't have epilepsy to begin with and Bret thinks it is because of the antidote. She receives a call from someone saying they found Charlie and leaves. When she gets to the bar, Jemaine is there with a pasted on beard and is wearing a sweater to emulate the qualities she enjoyed in Bret. It is obvious that he was the one who called her but she soon leaves to look for Charlie.
