1
00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:04,510
Good evening.
2
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:07,540
I'm your guest lecturer,
Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
3
00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:16,500
I was expecting applause,
4
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:20,290
but I suppose stunned silence
is equally appropriate.
5
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,950
I agreed to speak
to you this evening,
6
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:26,120
because I was told that you're
the best and the brightest
7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,360
of this university's
doctoral candidates.
8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,340
Hmm. Of course,
that's like saying
9
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,650
you are the most important
electron in a hydrogen atom.
10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,070
'Cause, you see,
11
00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:43,440
there's only one electron
in a hydrogen atom.
12
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:47,750
Best and brightest,
my sweet patootie.
13
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:49,410
All right, let's begin.
14
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:51,830
Show of hands,
who here is familiar
15
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:54,490
with the concept
of topological insulators?
16
00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:56,990
Don't kid yourselves.
17
00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:01,960
I found another tweet from a
student at Sheldon's lecture.
18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800
"Dr. Cooper has taken
a relatively boring subject
19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,300
"and managed to make it
completely insufferable.
20
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,300
Plus, he looks
like a giant insect."
21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,500
Look. Listen to this one.
22
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,110
"Does Einstein's theory
explain why time flies
23
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:18,240
"when you're having fun,
24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,310
"but when you're listening
to Dr. Cooper,
25
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:21,980
it falls out of the sky, dead?"
26
00:01:23,150 --> 00:01:24,480
Ooh, somebody took pictures
27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,350
and uploaded them
to their Flickr account.
28
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:28,750
Wow.
29
00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:30,490
How do you get an
entire lecture hall
30
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:32,820
to flip you off
at the same time?
31
00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:34,460
Apparently, if you're Sheldon,
32
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:36,930
all you need
to do is turn your back.
33
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,700
Hey, Leonard,
is your wi-fi down?
34
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:40,660
I can't get on.
35
00:01:40,670 --> 00:01:42,130
Oh, Sheldon changed
the password.
36
00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:44,370
It's now
"Penny is a freeloader."
37
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:46,740
No spaces.
38
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:48,770
Thanks.
What are you guys doing?
39
00:01:48,770 --> 00:01:50,540
Sheldon gave a lecture
at the university tonight.
40
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:51,810
We're reading
the reviews.
41
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:53,140
Oh. How'd he do?
42
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:55,280
Well, picture the Hindenburg
meets Chernobyl
43
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,850
meets Three Mile Island
meets Tron 2.
44
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:00,070
That bad, huh?
45
00:02:00,070 --> 00:02:02,400
Read this woman's tweet.
46
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,820
"Listening to Dr. Cooper
47
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:07,320
has made me want to start
cutting myself again""
48
00:02:07,330 --> 00:02:09,030
Yeah.
49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,100
Good evening,
Leonard, Howard, Raj,
50
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,400
freeloader.
51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,400
So, how'd the lecture go?
52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,210
In a word, triumphant.
53
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:24,540
Really? Triumphant?
54
00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:26,480
Oh, yes, you should have
seen those young people.
55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,550
Thirsty for knowledge,
drinking in my wisdom.
56
00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:32,680
I may have changed
a few lives today.
57
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,850
Oh, please let
me tell him.
58
00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:38,660
I don't know,
I kind of promised Howard.
59
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:40,640
Tell me what?
60
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:42,230
Actually, we should
all share the moment.
61
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:43,660
Raj, if you would.
62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,030
Oh, tweets about my lecture.
63
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,240
Hmm...
64
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,870
That's rather unfair.
65
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440
That's downright cruel.
66
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,910
Plus, insects
have six legs.
67
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:05,920
Yeah, I'm not familiar
with the acronym "KMN""
68
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:09,490
From the context, we think
it means "kill me now."
69
00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:16,460
Well, I suppose everyone's
entitled to their own opinion.
70
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:18,200
I think I'll turn in.
71
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,530
I didn't want to teach
those poopy heads, anyway.
72
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:28,710
FYI, I think that's
what Darth Vader said
73
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:31,810
just before he started
building the Death Star.

00:03:58,430 --> 00:03:59,670
Sheldon still moping?
85
00:03:59,730 --> 00:04:00,990
Yeah, it's weird.
Even though he didn't want
86
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:02,390
to give the lecture
in the first place,
87
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:04,730
being rejected by those students
really hit him hard.
88
00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:06,180
I know the feeling.
89
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:08,070
It's like accidentally
walking into a gay bar
90
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:09,670
and then having
no one hit on you.
91
00:04:16,510 --> 00:04:21,280
It-It happened
to a friend of mine.
92
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,450
Are you guys doing okay?
93
00:04:23,450 --> 00:04:24,850
Leonard and I are fine,
94
00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:27,690
but I think Raj needs
to meet a girl really soon.
95
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:29,750
Well, that shouldn't
be too hard.
96
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,860
He's such a cutie.
97
00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:32,960
Thank you,
but "cute" is for bunnies.
98
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,930
I want to be something
with sex appeal,
99
00:04:34,930 --> 00:04:38,100
like...
like a labradoodle.
100
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,900
Labradoodle?
101
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:44,840
We might be starting
to zero in on your problem.
102
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,600
Don't you listen to them.
103
00:04:46,610 --> 00:04:48,310
You've got plenty
of sex appeal.
104
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:49,440
You really think so?
105
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,690
Yeah. You're a hottie.
106
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:54,510
Well, thanks, Bernadette.
107
00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:56,330
And just for the record,
108
00:04:56,330 --> 00:04:58,020
labradoodles are
hypo-allergenic,
109
00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:01,520
which is a very sexy quality to
those troubled by animal dander.
110
00:05:04,540 --> 00:05:06,490
AMY
So, what do you think?
111
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:12,530
It's a charming illusion,
but it does not cheer me up.
112
00:05:12,530 --> 00:05:14,700
Not even when I do this?
113
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:21,810
No.
114
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,810
Well, that was the last arrow
in my quiver of whimsy.
115
00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:30,110
Do you realize that teaching
is the first thing
116
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,150
I've failed at
since my ill-fated attempt
117
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:35,320
to complete a chin-up
in March of 1989?
118
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,360
If this humiliating experience
119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,460
is really troubling you,
120
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:39,990
there are things
we could do about it.
121
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:41,630
For instance?
122
00:05:41,630 --> 00:05:43,460
Well, the first thing
that comes to mind
123
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:44,860
is isolating the part
of your brain
124
00:05:44,860 --> 00:05:48,370
where the memory is stored
and destroying it with a laser.
125
00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:50,670
Hmm, no.
126
00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:52,200
One slip of the hand,
127
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,410
and suddenly I'm sitting
in the Engineering Department,
128
00:05:54,410 --> 00:05:57,010
building doodads with Wolowitz.
129
00:05:57,010 --> 00:05:58,710
All right.
130
00:05:58,710 --> 00:06:01,150
Have you considered improving
your socialization skills,
131
00:06:01,150 --> 00:06:02,380
thus allowing you
132
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:03,980
to communicate more
effectively with other people?
133
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:05,550
Isn't that their burden?
134
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:08,550
I'm the one with something
interesting to say.
135
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:11,090
Fair enough, but in its essence,
136
00:06:11,090 --> 00:06:12,520
teaching is a performance art.
137
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,030
In the classroom paradigm,
138
00:06:14,030 --> 00:06:16,730
the teacher has the
responsibility to communicate,
139
00:06:16,730 --> 00:06:18,760
as well as entertain and engage.
140
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,170
I sense that you're trying
to slow-walk me to an epiphany.
141
00:06:22,170 --> 00:06:24,070
Would you mind very much
jumping to it?
142
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:27,570
Perhaps you should consider
taking acting lessons.
143
00:06:27,570 --> 00:06:29,470
Acting lessons.
144
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Interesting.
145
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,010
It might help
if I could act as though I care
146
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:37,750
about my students
and whether or not they learn.
147
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,050
Penny.
148
00:06:41,050 --> 00:06:44,110
Penny. Penny.
149
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:46,140
What?
150
00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:49,060
You're an "actress," correct?
151
00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:51,700
I'm not an "actress."
152
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,100
I'm an actress.
153
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:55,400
All right.
154
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,740
You're an actress.
155
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:00,300
I need you to teach me.
156
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:01,710
You want an acting lesson?
157
00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:04,940
Perhaps two. I'd like
to master the craft.
158
00:07:04,940 --> 00:07:07,750
Okay, where
is this coming from?
159
00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:11,620
It has been suggested to
me that acting techniques
160
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:13,620
could improve my
lecturing, at which,
161
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:15,950
if certain tweets and
blogs are to be believed,
162
00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:17,860
I "suck the big one."
163
00:07:17,860 --> 00:07:20,560
Yeah, I saw those.
They were funny.
164
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,460
I printed a few out
and put 'em on my fridge.
165
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:25,400
So, when could we start?
166
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,130
Okay, just to be clear.
167
00:07:27,130 --> 00:07:29,900
You are asking me for help
because I know something
168
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:32,340
that the brilliant
Dr. Sheldon Cooper doesn't.
169
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:36,140
I suppose that's one
way to look at it.
170
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:38,910
I think it's the only
way to look at it.
171
00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:40,810
Are you going to
help me or not?
172
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:43,280
Probably. I'm just
enjoying the foreplay.
173
00:07:44,450 --> 00:07:46,850
Does this mean you are done
mocking my acting career?
174
00:07:46,850 --> 00:07:49,950
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought
making the transition
175
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,820
from actor to acting teacher
176
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:53,190
was the signal
that one's career
177
00:07:53,190 --> 00:07:55,330
had reached the
end of the road.
178
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,180
Forget it.
179
00:07:58,180 --> 00:07:59,660
I'll pay you $40.
180
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:02,220
Saturday, 9:00 a.m.
Bring cash.
181
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:06,570
Raj, I have amazing news!
182
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:07,540
What?
183
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:08,890
I just got offered
a fellowship
184
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:10,880
at the Weitzmann
Institute in Israel.
185
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,640
Dude, that's incredible!
I know.
186
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,550
The only thing is, I'm
gonna be gone for two years.
187
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:17,350
Aw, I'm gonna miss you.
188
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:18,480
Are you going with him?
189
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,380
I have to stay
here for school.
190
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:22,450
That's what we're here
to talk to you about.
191
00:08:22,450 --> 00:08:26,890
You see,
Bernadette has needs.
192
00:08:26,890 --> 00:08:29,530
What kind of needs?
193
00:08:29,530 --> 00:08:32,160
Sexual needs.
194
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:34,400
Most of them regular,
195
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,900
some of them
kind of messed up.
196
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:41,670
So, while I'm gone,
197
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:43,910
you're going
to have to satisfy her.
198
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,710
What do you say?
199
00:08:48,010 --> 00:08:51,180
I say okey-dokey.
200
00:08:55,420 --> 00:08:58,220
What ya thinking
so hard about?
201
00:08:58,220 --> 00:09:02,360
Just that
I'm definitely not gay.
202
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:11,940
SHELDON
Penny!
203
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:14,700
Penny! Penny!
204
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:15,610
What's wrong?
205
00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:18,110
Nothing.
I was acting.
206
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,980
You were acting.
207
00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:23,460
Yes. In preparation
for today's studies,
208
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:25,680
I read Stanislavski's
An Actor Prepares,
209
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,850
Stella Adler's
The Technique of Acting,
210
00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:29,420
Uta Hagen's
Respect for Acting,
211
00:09:29,420 --> 00:09:32,790
and Henry Winkler's
Ayyy, I'm an Actor.
212
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:34,690
Well, good for you.
213
00:09:34,690 --> 00:09:36,640
Come on in.
214
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,760
How shall we begin?
215
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,460
Well, I thought we'd start
216
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:41,930
with some
basic movement exercises.
217
00:09:41,930 --> 00:09:43,770
You know, get our bodies
warmed up a little.
218
00:09:43,770 --> 00:09:45,000
All right.
219
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,170
So I just want you to relax
220
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:48,040
and kind of
move around in the space.
221
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,820
You know,
just do whatever feels natural.
222
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,450
Sheldon?
223
00:09:59,450 --> 00:10:02,150
You said to do whatever
feels natural.
224
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:04,090
This feels natural.
225
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,120
Certainly more natural
226
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,920
than what you're doing.
227
00:10:07,930 --> 00:10:09,190
Come on,
you got to work with me.
228
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:10,930
We need to get connected
with our bodies.
229
00:10:10,930 --> 00:10:13,900
Penny, my body and I have
a relationship
230
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:16,200
that works best
when we maintain a cool,
231
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,300
wary distance from each other.
232
00:10:20,540 --> 00:10:22,940
All right,
let's just say we've warmed up.
233
00:10:22,940 --> 00:10:24,990
You're the "teacher."
234
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:29,250
Okay. One of the things
that might help you
235
00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:30,550
in connecting with your students
236
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:32,420
is being
a little more spontaneous.
237
00:10:32,420 --> 00:10:34,350
So why don't we
try some improvisation?
238
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:35,750
Why not?
It seems like
239
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:37,690
you're improvising
your entire curriculum.
240
00:10:40,210 --> 00:10:42,960
This is all about
listening and responding.
241
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,930
Gotcha.
242
00:10:43,930 --> 00:10:45,160
I'm going to create a character
243
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,880
and a situation, and you
just jump in when you feel it.
244
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,380
All right.
All right.
245
00:10:48,380 --> 00:10:50,430
Action.
246
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,970
Okay, it's not a movie.
247
00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:56,140
It's improv.
So no one calls "action."
248
00:10:56,140 --> 00:10:58,190
Hey, you taught me something.
249
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:00,680
Who would have thought it?
250
00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:04,110
Okay.
251
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:05,920
Uh, no, the shipment
has not arrived,
252
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,520
and I really need those shoes.
253
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,740
They are my biggest seller.
254
00:11:08,740 --> 00:11:10,500
Yes, ladies sizes six
through ten.
255
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:11,890
Thank you.
Oh, sorry.
256
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:14,320
I have to go.
I have a customer. Bye-bye.
257
00:11:14,330 --> 00:11:15,540
Hi. Can I help you?
258
00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:19,260
I'd like a frozen yogurt,
please.
259
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:23,170
Yogurt?
260
00:11:23,170 --> 00:11:24,700
Yeah.
Um...
261
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:25,970
Okay, sure.
262
00:11:25,970 --> 00:11:29,440
Luckily, we sell both shoes
and yogurt here.
263
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040
You do?
264
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,550
Yes. Look up at the sign,
265
00:11:35,550 --> 00:11:38,380
and remember, improv is always
about saying yes.
266
00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:40,550
All right.
267
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:42,740
Yes.
268
00:11:43,770 --> 00:11:45,690
I see a sign.
269
00:11:45,690 --> 00:11:49,430
It says "Camarillo State
Mental Hospital."
270
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:52,200
What?
271
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,800
It's the only explanation
I can come up with
272
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,130
for why you think
you sell shoes and yogurt.
273
00:11:58,140 --> 00:11:59,540
Okay, you know what?
274
00:11:59,540 --> 00:12:01,370
Let's just try
a different improv. Uh..
275
00:12:01,370 --> 00:12:04,640
Oh, this time
we will be two winos
276
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,410
living under a freeway overpass.
277
00:12:06,410 --> 00:12:08,580
Oh, and we're going
to use props?
278
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:10,580
You bet.
279
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,880
I had dreams,
you know.
280
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,220
I was gonna be famous.
281
00:12:15,220 --> 00:12:17,600
Show everybody back home
I could be someone.
282
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,560
Now look at me.
283
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,560
Want some?
284
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:24,390
You have any frozen yogurt?
285
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,870
I'm still not adjusted
286
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:32,540
to how the SyFy channel
spells their name now.
287
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:36,170
S-y-F-y.
That's "siffy."
288
00:12:36,170 --> 00:12:38,170
Uh-huh.
289
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:44,050
Hello?
290
00:12:45,550 --> 00:12:47,480
Oh, my God! Is he okay?
291
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,390
What happened?
Hang on. Hang on.
292
00:12:49,390 --> 00:12:51,220
Uh-huh.
293
00:12:51,220 --> 00:12:52,760
Okay, thank you.
294
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,190
Howard was on his scooter,
and got hit by a truck.
295
00:12:56,190 --> 00:12:58,190
He's in critical condition.
296
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,400
Oh, no!
297
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,370
Did you hear?
298
00:13:03,370 --> 00:13:05,280
Isn't it terrible?
299
00:13:05,290 --> 00:13:06,420
Have you seen him?
300
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:07,700
They wouldn't let me in.
301
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:10,640
Oh, my Howie.
302
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,210
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
303
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,210
It'll be okay.
304
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:18,210
It'll be
okay.
305
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:22,080
It's Howard.
306
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:24,990
Howard, hello.
307
00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:28,560
Raj, is that you?
308
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:30,430
Yeah, I'm right here,
buddy. How are you?
309
00:13:30,430 --> 00:13:31,960
Shh, shh. Listen to me.
310
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,500
I'm not gonna make it.
311
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:35,000
No, no, no,
don't say that.
312
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600
You're going to
be all right.
313
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,900
Raj, I don't have time.
Now, pay attention.
314
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:43,910
My last wish is that
you look after Bernadette.
315
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:46,110
Of course, of course.
316
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,410
Now when you say "look
after," you mean...
317
00:13:50,410 --> 00:13:52,350
Sexually.
318
00:13:52,350 --> 00:13:55,720
Excuse me, Bernadette.
I have to hear it from him.
319
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Sexually.
320
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,260
Got it. Take care.
321
00:14:01,790 --> 00:14:02,990
I guess I have no choice
322
00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:04,760
but to make sweet,
guilt-free love to you
323
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,980
over and over again
for the rest of my life.
324
00:14:06,980 --> 00:14:09,100
That's how I heard it.
325
00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:17,210
Or it could be "sy-fee."
326
00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:18,410
What?
327
00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:21,110
S-y-F-y. "Sy-fee."
328
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:22,710
Oh, right.
329
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:24,910
Good one.
330
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:29,490
So, did you get a chance
to go over the scene I gave you?
331
00:14:29,490 --> 00:14:31,670
Yes. I didn't care for it.
332
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:37,630
Okay, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
is an American classic.
333
00:14:37,630 --> 00:14:38,900
So is the McRib sandwich.
334
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:40,960
I don't care
for that, either.
335
00:14:43,470 --> 00:14:46,800
Fine. What would you rather do
as a scene study?
336
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,440
I'm glad you asked.
337
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,670
I took the liberty
338
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:52,610
of adapting a Star Trek
fan fiction novella
339
00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:54,140
I wrote when I was ten
340
00:14:54,140 --> 00:14:55,950
into a one-act play.
341
00:14:55,950 --> 00:14:59,350
And you think it's better
than Tennessee Williams?
342
00:14:59,350 --> 00:15:03,350
Why don't we leave that for
future generations to decide?
343
00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:07,290
Where No Sheldon
Has Gone Before.
344
00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:11,160
It's the story of a young boy
who is transported
345
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,730
from the ignorant backwoods
of East Texas
346
00:15:13,730 --> 00:15:15,260
to the 23rd Century,
347
00:15:15,270 --> 00:15:20,540
where his genius is not only
appreciated, but celebrated.
348
00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:22,760
KMN...
349
00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:25,890
Now, in this
pivotal scene,
350
00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:29,310
Sheldon's mother, played by you,
argues with an emissary
351
00:15:29,310 --> 00:15:32,210
of the United Federation
of Planets, Mr. Spock,
352
00:15:32,220 --> 00:15:34,850
the role I will bring to life.
353
00:15:34,850 --> 00:15:37,320
Okay, that's fine,
but let's try
354
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,420
and get you out
of your comfort zone.
355
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:41,260
Why would we want to do that?
356
00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:44,030
It's called "the comfort zone"
for a reason.
357
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:47,200
Okay, the whole point of this is
to loosen you up a little,
358
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,730
so I'm thinking you'll play
the role of your mother,
359
00:15:49,730 --> 00:15:51,970
and I will bring life
to Mr. Spock.
360
00:15:57,570 --> 00:15:59,080
I'm sorry.
361
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,880
You'll be Spock?
362
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,550
It's only logical.
363
00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:08,220
Very well.
364
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:09,550
I'll set the scene.
365
00:16:09,550 --> 00:16:10,520
All right.
366
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,520
"East Texas.
367
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,810
"A warm summer night.
368
00:16:14,810 --> 00:16:16,340
"A woman, Mary,
369
00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:18,460
"stands on a porch.
370
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:21,100
In the distance, we hear a
lonesome train whistle..."
371
00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:25,270
"The droning buzz of cicadas..""
372
00:16:26,950 --> 00:16:29,290
"A coyote howls at the moon,
373
00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:31,710
frightening sensitive young boys
everywhere."
374
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,010
"Out in the woods,
375
00:16:35,010 --> 00:16:36,710
an owl screeches..."
Okay, okay.
376
00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:38,350
We get it.
You set the scene.
377
00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:40,420
Hoo!
378
00:16:41,450 --> 00:16:43,750
Now just read
your mother's line.
379
00:16:46,170 --> 00:16:47,920
"Shelly!
380
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,460
"Shelly, how many times
have I told you
381
00:16:50,460 --> 00:16:53,730
"not to leave your sciencey
stuff out on the porch?
382
00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:55,430
"Goodness,
383
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:57,900
"I'll never understand that boy.
384
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,840
"But then again,
I'm a religious nut,
385
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,940
and my mind is closed
to so many things."
386
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:12,110
"Spock to Enterprise.
Transport successful."
387
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:14,380
"Glory be to Heaven,
388
00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:18,090
"some sort of creature
just manifested out of thin air.
389
00:17:18,090 --> 00:17:20,520
"George, put down that Pepsi can
full of bourbon
390
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,790
that ain't foolin' no one,
and get your shotgun!"
391
00:17:23,790 --> 00:17:26,050
"Greetings, Mary Cooper.
392
00:17:26,050 --> 00:17:28,300
I am Spock."
393
00:17:31,070 --> 00:17:33,050
I'm sorry.
I just don't buy it.
394
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:36,140
Just keep going!
395
00:17:37,170 --> 00:17:41,440
"Oh, my, your sudden appearance
startles me."
396
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:43,280
"We have been monitoring
your son Sheldon
397
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,950
"from the 23rd Century, and
398
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:46,720
"we have determined
that he is now ready
399
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,980
"to join us.
400
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:49,820
"His unique genius
is our best hope
401
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:52,860
for bringing peace
to a vast and troubled galaxy."
402
00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:54,260
"I understand.
403
00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:56,360
"Oh, Shelly?
404
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:58,960
"A man's here
to take you away to the future!
405
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,830
Be sure to pack
clean underwear."
406
00:18:02,170 --> 00:18:04,300
Okay, okay, let's try
that last line again,
407
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:06,170
and this time,
maybe try choking up
408
00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:07,770
a little.
Why?
409
00:18:07,770 --> 00:18:09,310
Well, you're losing your son.
410
00:18:09,310 --> 00:18:11,610
Yes, but he's going
to a better place
411
00:18:11,610 --> 00:18:14,840
where he won't get beat up...
so much.
412
00:18:14,850 --> 00:18:16,810
All right, come on,
just try it my way.
413
00:18:16,810 --> 00:18:18,380
Pretend you're sad
to see him go.
414
00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:20,770
I'm gonna lead you in.
415
00:18:20,770 --> 00:18:22,740
"His unique genius
is our best hope
416
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:26,440
for bringing peace
to a vast and troubled galaxy."
417
00:18:27,660 --> 00:18:30,860
- That's your cue.
- I'm sorry. I just love that line.
418
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:33,530
Even the way you do it.
419
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:36,060
All right, come on, come on.
420
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:37,420
Put some real emotion into it.
421
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:39,200
Blah-blah, blah, blah...
"vast and troubled galaxy."
422
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,600
Go.
Hmm.
423
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,210
"Oh, Shelly?
424
00:18:43,210 --> 00:18:45,910
A man's here
to take you away to the future""
425
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:52,650
"Be sure to pack clean
underwear."
426
00:18:52,650 --> 00:18:54,930
That's good. That's good.
That's good.
427
00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:58,390
Mommy, why are you crying?
428
00:18:58,390 --> 00:19:01,360
'Cause I'm gonna
miss you, Shelly-bean,
429
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,930
even though you creep
the bugeeses out of me.
430
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:06,810
Okay, I guess
we're improvising now.
431
00:19:06,810 --> 00:19:08,230
I'm sorry.
432
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:09,700
It's not my fault.
433
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:11,270
I'm just incredibly smart,
434
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:14,770
and everyone around here is
dumber than a bag of rocks.
435
00:19:14,770 --> 00:19:16,640
Oh, now, don't
you start crying.
436
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,120
You get in that spaceship.
437
00:19:18,130 --> 00:19:19,740
Mommy's late for
Indian bingo.
438
00:19:23,410 --> 00:19:25,110
Mrs. Cooper, hey, it's Penny.
439
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:27,120
Yeah, I think I broke your son.
440
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:28,380
Hey, hold on.
441
00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:29,520
Talk to your mother.
442
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,390
Mommy, I love you.
443
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:34,890
Don't let Spock take
me to the future!
444
00:19:42,450 --> 00:19:43,180
Okay, Raj,
445
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,840
I know you've been avoiding me
and Howard, and I'm not leaving
446
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,370
until you tell me
what's going on
447
00:19:47,370 --> 00:19:48,780
