Question about English (US)
What does "that" mean in "Oh, right. That"? "All you are saying" or just "I have none"?I might be wrong but I suppose the former would be"All you are saying is right" and the latter would be "You are right. I have none".
Sheldon: "May I suggest your criticism is based on jealousy?"
Leonard: "Jealousy? What do I have to be jealous of?"
Sheldon: "I have a functioning and satisfying relationship with a female. You have none"
Leonard: "Oh, right. That."

@Mobin21 Thanks for your help! So Leonard didn't say anything about agreeing with what Sheldon had said, right? Just said something like oh, that matter, I get it.

“That” is referring to the fact that Leonard does not have a relationship with a woman.
