1
00:00:02,736 --> 00:00:04,436
So, tell me about your day--
how's it going

2
00:00:04,438 --> 00:00:05,771
with the particle detector?

3
00:00:05,773 --> 00:00:07,706
Wow! You remember that?

4
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:09,308
Yeah, I listen
to what you say.

5
00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:10,676
You're building
a particle detector

6
00:00:10,678 --> 00:00:12,845
using superfluid helium.

7
00:00:12,847 --> 00:00:14,847
You know, when you
talk like that,

8
00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:17,149
I want to take you
right here on this table.

9
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:19,151
And you know
from past experience

10
00:00:19,153 --> 00:00:20,853
this table cannot support
both our weight.

11
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:24,656
So, how's
the detector going?

12
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:26,792
Well, it's tricky working
with superfluids.

13
00:00:26,794 --> 00:00:28,060
Whatever container
you put them in,

14
00:00:28,062 --> 00:00:29,628
they kind of
creep up the sides

15
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:30,896
and crawl out
all on their own.

16
00:00:30,898 --> 00:00:33,532
Kind of like
Sheldon's ant farm.

17
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:36,135
Exactly, except you don't have
a lunatic running around,

18
00:00:36,137 --> 00:00:39,371
yelling, "I fed you sugar water,
why are you biting me?!"

19
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:43,075
Come on, this is boring-- you
really want to talk about this?

20
00:00:43,077 --> 00:00:44,076
No, I do.

21
00:00:44,078 --> 00:00:45,511
I-I didn't write
"superfluid helium"

22
00:00:45,513 --> 00:00:47,112
on this napkin for nothing.

23
00:00:48,082 --> 00:00:49,481
Okay, well...

24
00:00:49,483 --> 00:00:50,916
This is cool.

25
00:00:50,918 --> 00:00:53,085
Uh, there's a thing called
"superfluid vacuum theory,"

26
00:00:53,087 --> 00:00:55,187
where empty space is
imagined as a superfluid

27
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:56,889
with all of
its qualities--

28
00:00:56,891 --> 00:00:58,957
viscosity, density,
surface tension...

29
00:01:01,062 --> 00:01:03,495
Hey, if you're pausing
for dramatic effect,

30
00:01:03,497 --> 00:01:05,898
I'd keep it moving.

31
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,132
No, no.

32
00:01:09,503 --> 00:01:12,738
People don't talk
about surface tension.

33
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:16,175
If you imagine our
three-space as the surface

34
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:18,744
of an N-dimensional
superfluid bubble...

35
00:01:18,746 --> 00:01:21,880
This... is exciting.

36
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:23,248
This is really exciting.

37
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:24,416
I have to go
find Sheldon.

38
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:27,419
Okay, well,
if you find him,

39
00:01:27,421 --> 00:01:28,854
use the kitchen island--

40
00:01:28,856 --> 00:01:30,489
that coffee table will not
support both of you.

41
00:01:33,727 --> 00:01:36,462
Which means a spherical
multidimensional superfluid

42
00:01:36,464 --> 00:01:38,897
shows the same negative-energy
density as space-time.

43
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:41,433
So what do you think? What do
you think? So what do you think?

44
00:01:44,805 --> 00:01:46,805
Hmm...

45
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:48,273
What? Is it wrong?

46
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:49,775
Have you seen it somewhere else?

47
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,146
Hmm...

48
00:01:55,116 --> 00:01:56,548
I know this isn't my area,

49
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:58,617
and I could never
do the math like you can,

50
00:01:58,619 --> 00:02:00,285
but could this be something...?

51
00:02:00,287 --> 00:02:01,386
Well...

52
00:02:01,388 --> 00:02:02,387
(sighs)

53
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:03,789
(stammers)

54
00:02:03,791 --> 00:02:07,326
You could have set Newton's
gravitational constant to one.

55
00:02:07,328 --> 00:02:09,761
And, ugh, the whole thing reeks
of blueberry.

56
00:02:09,763 --> 00:02:12,464
You know I can't stand
these scented markers.

57
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,834
No one told you to taste them.

58
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:18,971
Come on, is-is this
good or not?

59
00:02:18,973 --> 00:02:20,506
(sighs deeply)

60
00:02:20,508 --> 00:02:21,907
It's good.

61
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:23,775
Really?
I like it.

62
00:02:23,777 --> 00:02:25,110
I think you're on to something.

63
00:02:25,112 --> 00:02:26,445
You do? You're not
messing with me?

64
00:02:26,447 --> 00:02:27,579
Not at all.

65
00:02:27,581 --> 00:02:29,815
In fact,
I have got something

66
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:31,250
for just such
an occasion.

67
00:02:31,252 --> 00:02:32,417
I was starting to think

68
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:34,520
I might never get a chance
to give it to you.

69
00:02:34,522 --> 00:02:35,988
Good job.

70
00:02:40,961 --> 00:02:43,428
You're giving me a sticker?

71
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:45,430
Not just a sticker.

72
00:02:45,432 --> 00:02:48,901
That is a sticker of a kitty
saying, "Me-wow!"

73
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:53,038
I'm not a preschooler.

74
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040
(stammers)
Fine, I'll take it back.

75
00:02:55,042 --> 00:02:57,276
I earned this!

You're still awake?

85
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:30,075
For a man whose
last observation was

86
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:31,677
our universe may be the surface

87
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:34,079
of a multidimensional
supercooled liquid,

88
00:03:34,081 --> 00:03:36,949
"you're still awake" seems
like quite the sophomore slump.

89
00:03:38,586 --> 00:03:40,586
You worked out
all the math.

90
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:43,188
Oh, I did more
than work out all the math.

91
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:45,591
I wrote a paper.

92
00:03:46,994 --> 00:03:48,994
You wrote a paper
on my idea?

93
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:51,897
I wrote a paper
on<i> our</i> idea.

94
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:55,033
When did my idea
become our idea?

95
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:57,035
When I mixed it with
Sheldony goodness

96
00:03:57,037 --> 00:04:00,105
and cooked it in the
Easy-Bake Oven of my mind.

97
00:04:02,276 --> 00:04:04,276
This is good.

98
00:04:04,278 --> 00:04:06,111
Our idea is really good.

99
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:09,181
Well, the lightbulb in this
oven is ridiculously bright.

100
00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:13,685
You know, if no one's
thought of this, yet,

101
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:15,087
this could be a big deal.

102
00:04:15,089 --> 00:04:16,455
Only way we'll
know for sure is

103
00:04:16,457 --> 00:04:18,890
if we post it online to
the pre-print server.

104
00:04:18,892 --> 00:04:22,127
I have it ready to go, but I
wasn't gonna do it without you.

105
00:04:24,098 --> 00:04:26,431
Wow, it's all
happening so fast.

106
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:29,067
Should we just sleep on it?

107
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:31,903
We could, but we
always run the risk

108
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,672
of someone else beating
us to the punch.

109
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:36,208
You're sure it's good?

110
00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:39,044
My name is right on
there with yours.

111
00:04:39,046 --> 00:04:42,214
That is a surefire
mark of quality.

112
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:46,018
That might as well say
"Directed by Joss Whedon."

113
00:04:49,657 --> 00:04:51,356
Okay, partner, let's do it.

114
00:04:54,328 --> 00:04:55,927
Come on.

115
00:04:55,929 --> 00:04:57,829
Click the
mouse with me.

116
00:05:01,769 --> 00:05:03,769
One...

117
00:05:03,771 --> 00:05:05,137
two...

118
00:05:05,139 --> 00:05:06,571
three...

119
00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:07,806
BOTH:
Click.

120
00:05:11,345 --> 00:05:12,611
Well, we did it.

121
00:05:12,613 --> 00:05:14,579
Yes, we did,
my friend.

122
00:05:14,581 --> 00:05:15,614
Is your tongue blue?

123
00:05:15,616 --> 00:05:18,483
I don't want to
talk about it.

124
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:21,620
Okay, movie night--
what do you want to watch?

125
00:05:21,622 --> 00:05:23,488
Whatever happened
to that ape movie you were in?

126
00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:24,690
Oh, God.

127
00:05:24,692 --> 00:05:25,657
Probably nothing.

128
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,793
I think I saw the director
twirling a sign

129
00:05:27,795 --> 00:05:29,661
outside the Verizon store.

130
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:31,163
Search for it.

131
00:05:31,165 --> 00:05:32,164
PENNY:
Wha... no.

132
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:33,165
No! Why?

133
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:34,499
'Cause it would be
fun to watch.

134
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,001
It would be humiliating.

135
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:38,537
Well, now we have
two reasons.

136
00:05:40,441 --> 00:05:41,440
They have it.

137
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:42,441
Please,
can we watch it?

138
00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:43,642
(sighs)
Please?

139
00:05:43,644 --> 00:05:45,877
Fine, but I'm telling you--
it's terrible.

140
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,380
Have you even seen it?
No.

141
00:05:48,382 --> 00:05:49,681
Well, maybe it turned out
better than you think.

142
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:50,982
(bike bell rings on TV)

143
00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:52,884
MAN: Bananas,
get your fresh bananas.

144
00:05:53,654 --> 00:05:55,687
(laughing):
It really didn't.

145
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:04,296
Sheldon, this is
superfluid helium.

146
00:06:04,298 --> 00:06:05,697
Put this in
your mouth,

147
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:07,366
your tongue will
freeze and break off.

148
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:12,003
Does it smell like blueberries?

149
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:13,004
No.

150
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:15,073
Then we're probably okay.

151
00:06:15,075 --> 00:06:17,142
Hey, your paper
got mentioned

152
00:06:17,144 --> 00:06:18,710
on the<i> Quantum Diaries</i>
physics blog.

153
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:19,678
(gasps)
Really?

154
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,513
Wh-What'd they say?

155
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:23,081
Uh, it's basically
a summary of the theory,

156
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:24,816
but there's a bunch of positive
comments on the message board.

157
00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:27,219
Let me see,
let me see.

158
00:06:27,221 --> 00:06:30,655
One calls it "insightful
and innovative."

159
00:06:30,657 --> 00:06:32,357
We're insightful
and innovative.

160
00:06:32,359 --> 00:06:34,893
Ooh, nice to meet you,
Mr. Insightful.

161
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:36,762
Oh, the pleasure is mine,
Mr. Innovative.

162
00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:40,832
Uh, another one says,

164
00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:45,203
Do you hear that,
Mr. Out-Of-The?

165
00:06:45,205 --> 00:06:48,440
I do, indeed,
Mr. Box-Thinking.

166

Mr. Can-You-Believe-
These-Jack-Asses?

00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:00,719
Read another one.
Okay, okay. Uh...

"The analogy

00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:25,310
Uh, don't lower yourself
to their level.

181
00:07:25,312 --> 00:07:26,912
Look, I am simply

182
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:29,281
going to defend our work,
scientist to scientist.

183
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:30,749

Sheldon, my name's
on that paper, too.

There's no upside to doing this.

He just left another comment.

189

You mess with the bull,
you get the horns.

I'm about to show this guy
just how horny I can be.

PENNY (on TV):
Doctor, please help me.

203
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:26,104
I think I might be turning
into a killer gorilla.

204
00:08:26,106 --> 00:08:28,974
DOCTOR:
Why do you think you're turning
into a killer gorilla

205
00:08:28,976 --> 00:08:30,709
and not just a regular gorilla?

206
00:08:30,711 --> 00:08:34,212
PENNY:
Because regular gorillas
are vegetarians,

207
00:08:34,214 --> 00:08:36,615
and I just bit the fingers
off your receptionist!

208
00:08:36,617 --> 00:08:37,949
(Penny screeching like an ape;
chaotic clattering)

209
00:08:37,951 --> 00:08:40,852
Okay, we've seen
plenty.
No!

210
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,053
Give me the remote.

211
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:44,823
Careful. She'll bite
your fingers off.

212
00:08:44,825 --> 00:08:46,892
Okay, well, I've been
poking around the internet,

213
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:49,895
and I think I found something
we'll enjoy watching even more.

214
00:08:49,897 --> 00:08:50,896
What is it?

215
00:08:50,898 --> 00:08:51,863
Oh, just a video

216
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:54,032
of Bernadette
in a beauty pageant.

217
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:54,900
What?!

218
00:08:54,902 --> 00:08:56,668
Okay, I learned my lesson.

219
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:58,770
Making fun of people is wrong!

220
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,206
I haven't learned
my lesson.

221
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:03,275
Play it! Play it!

222
00:09:05,379 --> 00:09:09,047
(applause)

223

(laughing): You look like
a talking cupcake!

226
00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:23,028
And you should pick me

227
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:25,864
for Miss California Quiznos
1999, because I want to...

228
00:09:25,866 --> 00:09:28,066
(rhythmically):
Tell you what I want,
what I really really want

229
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,868
I'll tell you what I want,
what I really really want

230
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:32,103
I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna, I wanna

231
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:37,075
Really, really, really be
Miss California Quiznos 1999!

232
00:09:41,214 --> 00:09:43,214
Play it again!
Play it again!

233
00:09:43,216 --> 00:09:45,483
(laughing)

234

KOOTHRAPPALI:
Did he respond yet?

235
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:53,959
Hmm. No, not yet.

236
00:09:53,961 --> 00:09:55,260
Well,

237
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:57,028
maybe we shouldn't have sunk
to his level.

238
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:58,630
It wasn't that bad.

239
00:09:58,632 --> 00:10:00,231
Read it back one more time.

240
00:10:00,233 --> 00:10:01,733

241
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:05,370
"My good sir, we are neither
crackpots nor wannabes.

And later tonight, your mother."

246
00:10:18,385 --> 00:10:20,452
And you don't think
that's too rough?

247
00:10:20,454 --> 00:10:23,088
We're just<i> standing</i> behind her.

248
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:26,057
It's not like we're gonna say
"boo" and scare her.

249
00:10:28,829 --> 00:10:31,663
How could you not tell us
you were in beauty pageants?

250
00:10:31,665 --> 00:10:33,298
'Cause it's
embarrassing.

251

(laughing):
It is; it truly is.

252
00:10:37,237 --> 00:10:38,803
Yeah, well...

Amy writes<i> Little House</i>

about herself

255
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,313
No!

256
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:51,683
Why? What did I do?!

257
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:53,952
Sorry, I had to get
the spotlight off me,

258
00:10:53,954 --> 00:10:56,688
and tearing down other women
is part of my pageant training.

259
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:59,324
Okay. We are
reading that right now.

260
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:00,492
No, please don't.

261
00:11:00,494 --> 00:11:02,627
We got embarrassed
tonight. Come on.

262
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:03,928
But it's personal.

263
00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:05,530
Why? Is it about you
and Sheldon?

264
00:11:05,532 --> 00:11:07,198
(chuckles):
No.

265
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,135
Oh, my God, it's
about her and Sheldon.

266
00:11:10,137 --> 00:11:11,803
It's not about me and Sheldon.

267
00:11:11,805 --> 00:11:15,807
It's about a young woman
in the 1800s named Amelia...

268
00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:18,176
and the time-traveling physicist
named Cooper

269

she falls in love with.

270
00:11:20,147 --> 00:11:22,180
Please show us?
Please?

271
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,382
No.
You know I'm gonna read it
either way.

272

AMY (scoffs):
Good luck finding it.

273
00:11:26,153 --> 00:11:27,485

274
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:29,320
Amelia and...

00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:31,156
the time-trav...

276
00:11:31,158 --> 00:11:33,658

I was alone and had no friends.

I'm starting to miss that.

293
00:12:20,173 --> 00:12:22,006
He still hasn't responded.

294
00:12:22,008 --> 00:12:23,708
What's taking him so long?

295
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,710
Do you really<i> want</i>
him to write back?

296
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:27,946
Yeah, I do.
No matter how he responds,

297
00:12:27,948 --> 00:12:32,117
I am going to destroy him
with a picture of a bored cat

298

saying, "Oh,<i> really?"</i>

Me-wow.

What are you doing?

301
00:12:44,364 --> 00:12:47,232
I've, uh, created some

00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:41,319
Yeah, but it's
still so aggravating.
Yeah, well,

321
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,288
all the other comments
said really nice things.

322
00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:44,923
Focus on those.
Yeah.

323
00:13:44,925 --> 00:13:47,125
Dr. Dmitri Plancovik

324
00:13:47,127 --> 00:13:49,127
of Moscow
University said,

325
00:13:49,129 --> 00:13:51,129
(Russian accent):
"Dis paper great.

326
00:13:51,131 --> 00:13:53,898
I love it more
than 'wodka.'"

327
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:57,769
See? Better
with the accent.

328
00:13:57,771 --> 00:13:59,137
SHELDON:
And...

329
00:13:59,139 --> 00:14:00,205
send.

330
00:14:00,207 --> 00:14:01,806
What did you write?

331
00:14:01,808 --> 00:14:03,341
I'm done hiding from bullies.

332
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,276
I'm taking this
into the real world.

333
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:07,178
What does that mean?
I told him we'll meet him

334
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:09,214
face-to-face anytime, anywhere.

335
00:14:09,216 --> 00:14:11,349
Are you crazy?
You don't know who
this person is.

336
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:12,183
Delete that!
Come on, Sheldon!

337
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:13,318
Oh, okay,

338
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,553
okay, calm down.

339
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:17,288
