00:00:02,370 --> 00:00:06,472
Hello. I'm Dr.
Sheldon Cooper.
2
00:00:06,474 --> 00:00:11,210
And welcome to Sheldon Cooper
Presents: Fun with Flags,
3
00:00:11,212 --> 00:00:13,479
the Final Episode
Flagtacular.
4
00:00:13,481 --> 00:00:15,280
(gasps)
5
00:00:15,282 --> 00:00:18,684
I knew it was coming.
Still scary.
6
00:00:18,686 --> 00:00:21,453
Now, I'm sure you're thinking,
"The final episode?
7
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:24,790
Who will stand between
us and flag ignorance?"
8
00:00:24,792 --> 00:00:26,959
I know I was thinking that.
9
00:00:26,961 --> 00:00:30,796
Is this a show on flags
or mind reading?
10
00:00:30,798 --> 00:00:34,533
But the truth is I can no longer
balance a full-time career,
11
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:37,202
a popular Internet show,
and a girlfriend.
12
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:42,041
And he really does have one,
you jerks on the comment board.
13
00:00:42,043 --> 00:00:45,711
So as they say, all good
things must come to an end.
14
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:48,847
After only 232 episodes.
15
00:00:48,849 --> 00:00:51,250
233 if we
include the one
16
00:00:51,252 --> 00:00:54,653
somebody forgot
to press record on.
17
00:00:54,655 --> 00:00:56,655
(quietly): You said
you weren't gonna bring that up.
18
00:00:56,657 --> 00:00:57,790
(quietly): And you
said you pressed record.
19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,861
Anyway, please
sit back, relax,
20
00:01:02,863 --> 00:01:05,931
and join us as we
take our final lap...
21
00:01:07,034 --> 00:01:09,935
...as indicated by the
waving of this racing flag.
22
00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:12,738
And, of course, white flags
can also represent surrender,
23
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,841
the Stewards of Gondor, and
the Japanese Minamoto clan,
24
00:01:15,843 --> 00:01:18,343
but I'm sure you remember
that from episode 62,
25
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:22,581
"White Flags: Who's
Wavin' 'Em and Why?"
26
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:24,049
That was a good one.
27
00:01:24,051 --> 00:01:25,250
It was so good.

36
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:55,380
You know, I thought cleaning out
a dead professor's office
37
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:56,815
was gonna just be boring,
38
00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:59,318
but then I found his dentures
39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,387
and realized it's also gross.
40
00:02:04,258 --> 00:02:07,326
Doesn't Professor Abbott's
family want any of this stuff?
41
00:02:07,328 --> 00:02:08,293
I don't think he had a family.
42
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:09,962
That's rough.
I know.
43
00:02:09,964 --> 00:02:11,563
You can spend your whole life
working,
44
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:14,733
and at the end all that's left
are some papers in a box.
45
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:17,736
Makes you think.
46
00:02:17,738 --> 00:02:20,506
Oh, well.
47
00:02:20,508 --> 00:02:22,941
Hey. Hey, we're supposed to
look through all this stuff
48
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:24,776
before we throw it away
in case it's important.
49
00:02:24,778 --> 00:02:27,746
I-I did.
It's all outdated or disproved.
50
00:02:27,748 --> 00:02:30,916
I don't know. This old pen
kind of proves gravity.
51
00:02:30,918 --> 00:02:34,153
When I tilt it, her bathing
suit falls right off.
52
00:02:34,155 --> 00:02:35,320
WOLOWITZ:
Oh,
53
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:37,322
my dad used to have
a pen like that.
54
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:40,592
I dated it
all through sixth grade.
55
00:02:40,594 --> 00:02:41,693
It still feels weird
56
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:43,996
just throwing away his work
like this.
57
00:02:43,998 --> 00:02:45,097
Don't feel bad.
Someday,
58
00:02:45,099 --> 00:02:47,933
someone will be throwing out
your work, too.
59
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:52,337
That someone was Sheldon,
and the day was yesterday.
60
00:02:53,274 --> 00:02:55,674
Hey, look at this.
61
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:59,011
"Dear Roger, to be opened
upon your first great discovery.
62
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,046
Love, Mom."
63
00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:02,881
Wow, look at the date.
64
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:06,218
He saved this 50 years
and never got to open it.
65
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:08,554
That's intense.
66
00:03:08,556 --> 00:03:11,490
Poor Roger Abbott.
67
00:03:11,492 --> 00:03:16,328
(laughing): Roger Abbott sounds
just like Roger Rabbit.
68
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:20,232
Roger Abbott, Roger Abbott,
Roger Abbott.
69
00:03:20,234 --> 00:03:23,535
Oh, my God, Leonard, I know
he's dead, but try it. It's fun!
70
00:03:24,572 --> 00:03:26,071
Roger Abbott,
Roger Abbott...
71
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:29,708
DAN:
Penny!
72
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,311
(chuckles)
Oh, my rookie of the year.
73
00:03:32,313 --> 00:03:35,147
Oh, Dan. My boss who didn't want
to hire me
74
00:03:35,149 --> 00:03:37,349
and now's a little hug machine.
(chuckles)
Oh,
75
00:03:37,351 --> 00:03:38,917
look at you. Brand-new
76
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,253
and already
the third best sales rep.
77
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:43,021
Aw. Yes.
Why don't you come over
to my table.
78
00:03:43,023 --> 00:03:44,923
I'll be right there.
Bernadette's just
parking the car.
79
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:47,926
Oh, good.
80
00:03:47,928 --> 00:03:50,529
Bernadette. Cute, sweet...
81
00:03:50,531 --> 00:03:52,431
vicious little Bernadette.
82
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:54,666
Come on. She's not that bad.
83
00:03:54,668 --> 00:03:56,168
Oh, yeah?
84
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:58,337
At the company picnic
she yelled at me and my grandson
85
00:03:58,339 --> 00:04:00,539
for losing
the three-legged race.
86
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:05,711
I mean, he still calls her "that
mean kid with the big boobies."
87
00:04:05,713 --> 00:04:08,347
I know she can be
a little intense, but, I swear,
88
00:04:08,349 --> 00:04:10,582
she is so sweet
once you get past all the...
Hey,
89
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:11,717
what are you
talking about?
90
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:13,352
Oh. We were just talking
91
00:04:13,354 --> 00:04:15,454
about how much we love working
with you. Isn't that right?
92
00:04:15,456 --> 00:04:17,522
Dan?
93
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:23,028
Over the years here
at Fun With Flags,
94
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:26,365
we've had an opportunity to
learn, laugh, wonder...
95
00:04:26,367 --> 00:04:30,269
And, yes, even shed
a tear or two.
96
00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:34,106
Like when you do a two-hour
Fourth of July spectacular
97
00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:36,975
and it doesn't
get recorded.
98
00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:39,978
How many times do I have
to say I'm sorry?
99
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:43,081
How about 4,000.
100
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:45,884
One for every domino I set up
to make that American flag.
101
00:04:47,254 --> 00:04:50,322
Please enjoy
these highlights.
102
00:04:51,892 --> 00:04:54,960
(Australian accent):
Crikey! What flag
do we have today?
103
00:04:58,565 --> 00:05:00,632
(Australian accent):
Australia, mate!
104
00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:08,573
And now it's time for the speed
round of Flag or Not a Flag.
105
00:05:08,575 --> 00:05:11,476
Flag.
Flag.
(dinging)
106
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:13,478
Not a flag.
Flag.
107
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,914
I am crushing this.
108
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:24,323
Say, Betsy Ross,
what you working on?
109
00:05:24,325 --> 00:05:27,826
(high-pitched):
I have no idea.
110
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:31,430
Because the story of me
sewing the first American flag
111
00:05:31,432 --> 00:05:34,333
is unsupported
poppycock.
112
00:05:34,335 --> 00:05:37,169
Then who did sew it, hmm?
113
00:05:37,171 --> 00:05:38,837
Don't ask me.
114
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,474
I'm just a simple seamstress
whose descendants are...
115
00:05:42,476 --> 00:05:45,644
(normal voice):
out to make a quick buck!
116
00:05:45,646 --> 00:05:47,713
(old-timey music playing)
117
00:05:52,353 --> 00:05:54,019
Fancy a dip, my dear?
118
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:55,620
I do.
119
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:57,689
(gasps)
120
00:05:57,691 --> 00:06:00,459
Wait, that purple
flag indicates
121
00:06:00,461 --> 00:06:03,295
that marine pests, such
as jellyfish, are present.
122
00:06:03,297 --> 00:06:06,365
Wow, that flag
is a lifesaver.
123
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:08,800
No.
124
00:06:08,802 --> 00:06:10,869
This is.
125
00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:14,439
Stop looking at my legs.
126
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:18,143
Not a flag.
Flag.
(dinging)
127
00:06:18,145 --> 00:06:20,545
Flag.
Not a flag.
128
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:22,147
Flag.
(buzz)
129
00:06:22,149 --> 00:06:24,750
(groans)
Crap.
130
00:06:26,153 --> 00:06:27,486
When stuff
like this gets me down,
131
00:06:27,488 --> 00:06:29,054
you know what I like to do?
132
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:31,923
Sing "Hakuna Matata"
like an eight-year-old girl?
133
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:33,925
Wrong, smarty-pants.
134
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:37,429
It's "Everything Is Awesome"
from The Lego Movie.
135
00:06:39,099 --> 00:06:40,432
Look at these notebooks.
136
00:06:40,434 --> 00:06:42,434
They're full of pages and pages
of data.
137
00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:44,236
He clearly spent years on this.
138
00:06:44,238 --> 00:06:47,005
Mmm. Oh, it's just columns
of random numbers. Toss it.
139
00:06:47,007 --> 00:06:49,908
Well, but what if this was a
potential breakthrough for him?
140
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:51,510
What if...
what if this is the thing
141
00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:54,246
that would've finally let him
open that bottle of champagne?
142
00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:56,415
Maybe he didn't know what
to pair champagne with.
143
00:06:56,417 --> 00:07:00,419
Strawberries, caviar, oysters.
All good choices.
144
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:03,288
Yeah, that look right there
145
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:06,525
is why people eat before
they come to your parties.
146
00:07:06,527 --> 00:07:08,593
This has to mean something.
147
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:12,764
Well, there's no discernible
pattern that I can see,
148
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:15,200
but it shouldn't be too hard
to run the numbers and check.
149
00:07:15,202 --> 00:07:17,769
Well, maybe we can get
some time on the supercomputer.
150
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:19,704
Sure. We could try
multiple regressions
151
00:07:19,706 --> 00:07:22,240
with varying physical and
experimental constants.
152
00:07:22,242 --> 00:07:24,743
Oh, we could run
a pattern-matching algorithm
153
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:26,945
against well-known
unsolved physics problems.
154
00:07:26,947 --> 00:07:29,581
Ooh, it might be
a substitution cipher.
155
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:31,483
We could start
with basic cryptanalysis.
156
00:07:31,485 --> 00:07:34,886
Or we could talk to this guy
he used to share an office with.
157
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:39,591
Oh, let's do that.
158
00:07:39,593 --> 00:07:41,993
Because you don't know how
to do cryptanalysis, do you?
159
00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:44,463
I'm not even sure if
it's the right word.
160
00:07:51,772 --> 00:07:53,305
PENNY:
So,
161
00:07:53,307 --> 00:07:56,007
Dan, you have a grandson.
How old is he?
162
00:07:56,009 --> 00:07:57,309
Seven.
BERNADETTE:
Oh, yeah.
163
00:07:57,311 --> 00:07:59,177
I remember him from the picnic.
164
00:08:00,314 --> 00:08:03,148
He was the one crying
like a wuss the whole time.
165
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:07,519
I heard he was being picked on
by a mean kid.
166
00:08:07,521 --> 00:08:09,120
Just builds character.
167
00:08:09,122 --> 00:08:11,122
Like my dad said,
"Nobody likes a crybaby
168
00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:13,425
except their mommies
and Democrats."
169
00:08:14,428 --> 00:08:15,727
I need another drink.
170
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:19,598
What's his problem?
Oh.
171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600
I don't know.
Maybe he didn't like the fact
172
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:23,435
that you called his grandson
a wuss.
173
00:08:23,437 --> 00:08:26,538
Well, I didn't think you were
supposed to say "sissy" anymore.
174
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:29,975
Okay, look, I know
what a good person you are,
175
00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:33,512
but sometimes people think you
might come off a little harsh.
176
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:34,646
What?
177
00:08:34,648 --> 00:08:36,915
I'm, like, the sweetest person
I know.
178
00:08:38,151 --> 00:08:42,187
Look at me. I should be
in a tree baking cookies.
179
00:08:42,189 --> 00:08:44,189
Yes, but once in a while,
180
00:08:44,191 --> 00:08:47,559
people think
you're a little mean.
181
00:08:47,561 --> 00:08:48,560
Oh, yeah?
182
00:08:48,562 --> 00:08:50,395
You one of those people?
183
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:53,164
No. No, no, no.
184
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:55,967
I-I think the cookie thing.
185
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,673
Action.
186
00:09:01,675 --> 00:09:03,508
Welcome back.
187
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:06,177
Our guest today
is a returning fan favorite.
188
00:09:06,179 --> 00:09:08,580
He puts the reading
in your rainbow,
189
00:09:08,582 --> 00:09:10,015
the Geordi in your La Forge,
190
00:09:10,017 --> 00:09:11,917
and the Kunta in your Kinte,
191
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:13,985
Mr. LeVar Burton.
192
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:21,226
Thank you, Sheldon.
Now, remember our deal...
193
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:25,697
You do this, I delete
your contact information.
194
00:09:25,699 --> 00:09:26,598
While...
195
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,667
While you watch me do it.
196
00:09:28,669 --> 00:09:30,702
Great. Happy to be back.
197
00:09:30,704 --> 00:09:32,537
Well, since you're here,
198
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:34,906
I'd like to get your
opinion on something.
199
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,008
In honor of Black
History Month,
200
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,077
I portrayed George
Washington Carver
201
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:43,715
in a loving tribute that my
roommate called "wildly racist."
202
00:09:43,717 --> 00:09:45,584
What do you think?
203
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:47,786
SHELDON:
Hi. My name is George.
204
00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:49,854
Oh, hell, no!
205
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:54,693
You heard him, Leonard.
206
00:09:54,695 --> 00:09:56,761
No, it's not racist.
207
00:10:02,569 --> 00:10:04,869
Are we sure this is the place?
208
00:10:04,871 --> 00:10:06,871
The doorman said this
is the right building.
209
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:08,740
I think if you're pulling up
your pants,
210
00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:10,976
you're not a doorman.
211
00:10:10,978 --> 00:10:12,544
MAN:
Who is it?
212
00:10:12,546 --> 00:10:14,646
Uh, I'm looking
for a Professor Sharpe?
213
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:17,649
Hold on.
214
00:10:17,651 --> 00:10:19,117
Can I help you?
Hi.
215
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,286
We're from the university. We're
trying to get some information
216
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:22,721
about Professor Abbott.
217
00:10:22,723 --> 00:10:23,989
We were cleaning
out his office
218
00:10:23,991 --> 00:10:25,924
and found these books
full of numbers.
219
00:10:25,926 --> 00:10:27,459
Any chance you
know what it is?
220
00:10:27,461 --> 00:10:29,260
Yes, he was always
working on this.
Oh.
221
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:30,762
I was thinking
it might be
222
00:10:30,764 --> 00:10:32,664
some sort of interstellar
coordinate system,
223
00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:34,499
maybe an updated version
of Hubble's law.
224
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:36,001
I keep seeing the
number 90 repeating.
225
00:10:36,003 --> 00:10:38,003
That could be the angle
of perturbation
226
00:10:38,005 --> 00:10:39,971
of a distant galaxy.
227
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,540
It's the number
of calories in a yogurt.
228
00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:44,809
That's his food diary.
229
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,144
Really?
230
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,246
Yeah, he wrote down
everything he ever ate.
231
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:50,181
He was convinced that calorie
restriction was the key
232
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:51,750
to living forever.
233
00:10:51,752 --> 00:10:53,318
Does it work?
234
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,953
Seriously?
235
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:57,656
Well, he could have been hit
by a bus. You don't know.
236
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,092
Sorry it's not more interesting.
237
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:03,194
On the bright side,
you didn't have to listen
238
00:11:03,196 --> 00:11:05,930
to his stomach growl
for 35 years.
239
00:11:05,932 --> 00:11:08,033
So, was there anything
that Professor Abbott worked on
240
00:11:08,035 --> 00:11:11,202
during his life that came close
to an accomplishment?
241
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:14,639
To be honest, his research
never amounted to anything.
242
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:16,608
Oh.
You were his
colleague.
243
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:17,642
How did your research turn out?
244
00:11:17,644 --> 00:11:19,644
Great. Hey, this is
the apartment you get
245
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:21,746
when you win a Nobel.
246
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:25,050
Well, you could be very frugal.
247
00:11:25,052 --> 00:11:27,352
I'm getting a little tired
of everybody's sarcasm.
248
00:11:30,691 --> 00:11:32,891
I'm not a bully.
249
00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:35,126
I mean, maybe I come
off a little strong,
250
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:37,128
but that's only because my
dad raised me to be tough
251
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:38,496
and not to take
crap from anybody.
252
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:41,866
No. That's fine, but there's
a difference between being tough
253
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:45,136
and telling your friend her new
pants look like a saggy diaper.
254
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:49,240
I did say that, didn't I?
255
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:50,675
Yeah, you did.
256
00:11:50,677 --> 00:11:53,578
I felt so self-conscious,
I had to return them.
257
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,581
Where? To Babies R Us?
258
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:59,250
You're doing it again!
259
00:11:59,252 --> 00:12:00,752
Okay, sorry.
Can we just go?
260
00:12:00,754 --> 00:12:02,253
I feel like
everybody hates me.
261
00:12:02,255 --> 00:12:04,255
Oh, come on,
they don't hate you, all right?
262
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:05,190
They're just
a little intimidated.
263
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:06,858
All you need to do
is show everyone
264
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:08,226
how sweet you really are.
265
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,095
I think I'd
rather go.
No, come on.
266
00:12:10,097 --> 00:12:11,663
You are not going anywhere,
all right?
267
00:12:11,665 --> 00:12:14,065
I am here for you, and we are
gonna fix this together.
268
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,266
Thank you.
269
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:17,302
Even though your dress is ugly.
270
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,540
Well, my little Flag-keteers,
271
00:12:22,542 --> 00:12:26,444
it looks like the last episode
of Fun with Flags is at an end.
272
00:12:26,446 --> 00:12:28,446
If I could,
273
00:12:28,448 --> 00:12:32,450
I would run each and every one
of you viewers up a flagpole
274
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:35,453
and salute you.
275
00:12:35,455 --> 00:12:37,822
And if you touched the ground,
burn you.
276
00:12:39,459 --> 00:12:41,092
I'd like to take a moment
277
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:43,228
to personally thank
Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler,
278
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:45,263
who you may
or may not know
279
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:49,434
is the first woman to co-host
a flag or banner-related
280
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:52,237
Internet info-tainment show.
281
00:12:52,239 --> 00:12:54,639
Take that, glass ceiling.
282
00:12:56,543 --> 00:13:00,478
And if I may get serious
for a moment,
283
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,415
hosting this show has been...
284
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:06,518
one crazy ride.
285
00:13:07,954 --> 00:13:10,455
With all its ups and downs,
286
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:13,291
I wouldn't give it up
for the world.
287
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:16,828
Except for now,
when I'm giving it up.
288
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:22,600
Before I sign off, I'd, uh...
289
00:13:22,602 --> 00:13:26,838
I'd like to share with you all
one last use for a white flag.
290
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:30,842
(voice breaking):
It's good for times like this.
291
00:13:32,412 --> 00:13:33,645
(sniffles)
292
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:35,814
Good night.
293
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:36,881
Cut.
294
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:41,319
Sheldon...
295
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,521
that was beautiful.
296
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:44,756
If you didn't press record...
297
00:13:44,758 --> 00:13:46,758
I pressed it!
298
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:54,098
Well, that's it.
299
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,668
That's the end of Roger Abbott.
300
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:01,506
And we still don't know
who framed him.
301
00:14:04,277 --> 00:14:05,944
I still keep thinking
302
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:08,446
about how an entire life can
seemingly amount to nothing.
303
00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:11,349
I guess the
sad truth is,
304
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:14,719
not everyone will
accomplish something great.
305
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:16,354
Some of us
306
00:14:16,356 --> 00:14:18,389
may just have to find meaning
307
00:14:18,391 --> 00:14:21,893
in the little moments
that make up life.
308
00:14:21,895 --> 00:14:24,963
That's a nice way
of looking at it.
309
00:14:24,965 --> 00:14:26,898
Yeah for you, not for me.
310
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:28,800
I went to space. I'm covered.
311
00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:33,338
You know what?
312
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:36,341
This bottle was meant
to celebrate an achievement.
313
00:14:36,343 --> 00:14:37,876
Let's make a pact.
314
00:14:37,878 --> 00:14:40,211
When one of us gets their
first big breakthrough,
315
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:42,747
we'll celebrate by opening
this bottle of champagne
316
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:44,682
and toasting
Professor Abbott.
317
00:14:44,684 --> 00:14:45,984
I love that.
318
00:14:45,986 --> 00:14:47,018
Yeah, me, too.
319
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:48,887
Then, of course,
320
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:50,588
rubbing our success
in Sheldon's face.
321
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:52,757
Oh, well, that's
the best part.
Oh, yeah.
322
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,428
Dan, could I talk
to you for a minute?
323
00:15:00,834 --> 00:15:02,834
Sure, go ahead.
324
00:15:02,836 --> 00:15:04,502
Just want you to know
I didn't mean
325
00:15:04,504 --> 00:15:05,870
to be rude about your grandson.
326
00:15:05,872 --> 00:15:07,405
No, it's okay.
327
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,274
No, it's not.
328
00:15:09,276 --> 00:15:11,075
Penny told me
that everyone's scared of me.
329
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:13,278
(laughing):
What? What?
330
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,213
Why would she say that?
331
00:15:15,215 --> 00:15:16,781
You know she drinks, right?
332
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:18,716
What?
333
00:15:18,718 --> 00:15:21,219
No, she's right,
and I just want you to know
334
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:23,454
that from now on, I'm gonna be
much more sensitive.
335
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:25,523
I don't want anyone walking
on eggshells around me.
336
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:28,259
Oh, well, okay, then, uh,
337
00:15:28,261 --> 00:15:30,194
one thing
I've been meaning to tell you
338
00:15:30,196 --> 00:15:32,864
is that the company is gonna
stop paying for our coffee.
339
00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:34,699
No problem. When
does that start?
340
00:15:34,701 --> 00:15:36,901
Five months ago.
341
00:15:36,903 --> 00:15:38,303
What?!
Yeah.
342
00:15:38,305 --> 00:15:39,871
Who's been paying
for my coffee?
343
00:15:39,873 --> 00:15:40,939
All of us.
344
00:15:40,941 --> 00:15:42,440
Yeah. It comes
from the swear jar
345
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,275
we put money in when you curse.
346
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:49,447
What else don't I know about?
347
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:52,250
Uh, well, you know
your private bathroom?
348
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:54,485
Yeah?
That was supposed to
be for the whole floor.
349
00:15:54,487 --> 00:15:56,788
You're kidding.
DAN:
No, no.
350
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:59,390
It's okay. It only really
affected Wheelchair Kathy,
351
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:01,492
and she's back
in the hospital now,
352
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:03,561
so it all worked out.
353
00:16:03,563 --> 00:16:06,764
I feel so bad.
Yeah.
354
00:16:06,766 --> 00:16:08,166
Well, then, maybe
355
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:09,801
you shouldn't have named her
"Wheelchair Kathy."
356
00:16:11,438 --> 00:16:12,971
Oh, my God!
357
00:16:12,973 --> 00:16:16,407
I thought everybody liked me,
but I'm just a monster.
358
00:16:16,409 --> 00:16:20,345
But a cute one, like that, uh,
eyeball guy in Monsters, Inc.
359
00:16:20,347 --> 00:16:22,947
No, I'm the worst.
360
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:24,515
I'm a terrible person.
361
00:16:24,517 --> 00:16:27,185
Come on, don't cry.
It's okay.
362
00:16:27,187 --> 00:16:28,486
(crying):
It's not okay.
363
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:31,022
How can I even work here
anymore?
Oh.
364
00:16:31,024 --> 00:16:32,590
Because this company needs you.
DAN:
It's fine.
365
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:34,425
We don't mind paying
for the coffee.
366
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:36,661
I can't let you do that.
367
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,496
Maybe we could get you
368
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:40,598
an espresso machine
for your office.
369
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,533
(crying):
I guess that would be all right.
370
00:16:42,535 --> 00:16:44,635
All right.
371
00:16:44,637 --> 00:16:47,171
(crying)
See? You don't have
372
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,639
to be mean
to get what you want.
373
00:16:48,641 --> 00:16:50,641
(sniffles)
You're right.
374
00:16:50,643 --> 00:16:53,511
Now where did we land
on my bathroom?
375
00:16:56,783 --> 00:16:58,282
(door opening)
376
00:16:58,284 --> 00:16:59,684
Hey.
377
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:00,952
Hello.
378
00:17:00,954 --> 00:17:02,353
How come you're up so late?
379
00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:04,222
I posted the last episode
380
00:17:04,224 --> 00:17:06,290
of Fun with Flags hours ago,
381
00:17:06,292 --> 00:17:08,793
and not a single person
cared enough to comment.
382
00:17:10,797 --> 00:17:13,131
All that effort for nothing.
383
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,133
Mm. I know how you feel.
384
00:17:15,135 --> 00:17:17,869
I spent the day throwing out
a man's entire career,
385
00:17:17,871 --> 00:17:19,670
and all that's left is
an old bottle of champagne
386
00:17:19,672 --> 00:17:22,073
and a naked lady pen
that Raj took
387
00:17:22,075 --> 00:17:24,509
when he thought
no one was looking.
388
00:17:24,511 --> 00:17:27,412
It's not the same thing.
389
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:30,181
I don't think you know
how I feel at all.
390
00:17:30,183 --> 00:17:32,517
Sad?
391
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:35,553
Hmm. You do get me.
392
00:17:36,923 --> 00:17:38,923
(computer chimes)
393
00:17:38,925 --> 00:17:40,725
Someone left a comment.
394
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:42,160
Yeah. What did they say?
395
00:17:42,162 --> 00:17:44,162
"Too bad your show is done.
396
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:46,097
I kind of liked it."
397
00:17:46,099 --> 00:17:48,166
Leonard, did you hear that?
398
00:17:49,536 --> 00:17:51,602
Oh, the people are heartbroken!
399
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:56,074
I can't take this away
from the world!
400
00:17:56,076 --> 00:17:59,010
Fun with Flags is back!
401
00:17:59,012 --> 00:18:01,012
Congratulations.
402
00:18:01,014 --> 00:18:02,880
Let's celebrate!
403
00:18:02,882 --> 00:18:04,515
(cork pops)
404
00:18:04,517 --> 00:18:07,118
Sheldon,
405
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:08,853
that wasn't for you!
406
00:18:08,855 --> 00:18:10,421
Oh, no, I'm not going
to drink it.
407
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:11,622
I just wanted to hear the pop.
408
00:18:12,859 --> 00:18:16,294
Yeah, I knew it was coming.
Still scary.
409
00:18:25,805 --> 00:18:27,939
LeVar Burton?
410
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:29,740
LeVar Burton!
411
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:31,242
LeVar Burton!
412
00:18:31,244 --> 00:18:34,879
Ugh. What are you doing here?
413
00:18:34,881 --> 00:18:36,414
You told me not to call,
414
00:18:36,416 --> 00:18:38,649
and I didn't know how else
to give you the good news.
415
00:18:38,651 --> 00:18:42,253
Fun with Flags is back, and
you can be in the next episode.
416
00:18:42,255 --> 00:18:43,821
Wil Wheaton said, get a gate.
417
00:18:43,823 --> 00:18:46,257
I don't know why
I didn't get a gate.
You...
418
00:18:46,259 --> 00:18:48,793
At least listen
to the premise.
419
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:50,261
Since you were born
in Germany,
420
00:18:50,263 --> 00:18:53,331
I thought we could talk
about German flags.
421
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:57,401
How do you feel about
dressing up like a swastika?
