1
00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:04,370
Two one six four two zero
2
00:00:04,372 --> 00:00:06,405
one nine eight nine.
3
00:00:06,407 --> 00:00:10,109
And that, little lady,
is pi to a thousand places.
4
00:00:10,111 --> 00:00:12,111
I'd say I'm sorry I asked,
5
00:00:12,113 --> 00:00:14,480
except I didn't.
6
00:00:14,482 --> 00:00:16,882
Oh, look, it's the
Scientific American
7
00:00:16,884 --> 00:00:19,651
that covered the paper
Leonard and I wrote.
8
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:21,620
Oh, let me see.
9
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:24,223
I have mixed feelings
about doing interviews.
10
00:00:24,225 --> 00:00:26,425
I like the part where I talk.
11
00:00:26,427 --> 00:00:29,962
I do not like the part
where the other man talks.
12
00:00:31,498 --> 00:00:34,433
Sheldon, this article doesn't
mention Leonard at all.
13
00:00:34,435 --> 00:00:36,201
Well, that
can't be right.
14
00:00:36,203 --> 00:00:39,171
It only refers to
"Dr. Cooper and his team."
15
00:00:39,173 --> 00:00:41,106
Did you even talk about him?
16
00:00:41,108 --> 00:00:43,709
All I did was answer a few
questions about the theory.
17
00:00:43,711 --> 00:00:45,844
And then expressed my gratitude
that Scientific American
18
00:00:45,846 --> 00:00:49,281
doesn't include any of those
smelly perfume cards.
19
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:51,984
Poor Leonard.
20
00:00:51,986 --> 00:00:54,386
Why? The theory
he came up with
21
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,921
just got mentioned in
Scientific American.
22
00:00:55,923 --> 00:00:57,289
He ought to be thrilled.
23
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:58,724
He might not be.
24
00:00:58,726 --> 00:01:00,793
Oh, maybe you're right.
25
00:01:00,795 --> 00:01:03,162
He is kind of a lump.
26
00:01:03,164 --> 00:01:04,363
Think about it.
27
00:01:04,365 --> 00:01:06,265
How would you feel
if you were referred to
28
00:01:06,267 --> 00:01:07,933
as part of Leonard's team?
29
00:01:07,935 --> 00:01:10,302
Oh, I'd be incensed.
30
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,738
So you see what
I'm getting at?
31
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,274
Squeaky wheel
gets the grease?
32
00:01:15,276 --> 00:01:16,675
No.
33
00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:18,610
Grass is always greener?
34
00:01:18,612 --> 00:01:20,312
Try again.
35
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:21,980
Well, I don't know--
we're all Groot?
36
00:01:21,982 --> 00:01:24,083
Just tell me.
37
00:01:24,085 --> 00:01:26,151
Leonard is as much
a part of this paper
38
00:01:26,153 --> 00:01:28,187
as you are,
and he was overlooked.
39
00:01:28,189 --> 00:01:30,189
He's going to feel bad.
40
00:01:30,191 --> 00:01:32,458
But it wasn't my fault.
41
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:33,992
I didn't exclude him.
42
00:01:33,994 --> 00:01:35,627
And I didn't write the article.
43
00:01:35,629 --> 00:01:38,730
Remember that time you didn't
get picked to pull the sword out
44
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:41,900
of the stone at Disneyland and
they let that other kid do it?
45
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:43,969
Oh, that kid!
46
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:50,309
Poor Leonard.
47
00:01:50,311 --> 00:01:52,144
Exactly.
48
00:01:52,146 --> 00:01:54,613
For the record,
that kid was a terrible choice.
49
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:56,381
If you cry when you drop
your churro,
50
00:01:56,383 --> 00:01:58,784
you do not have what it takes
to rule England.

Thanks for helping us sort
through all my mom's stuff.
60
00:02:29,717 --> 00:02:31,350
Of course.
61
00:02:31,352 --> 00:02:32,684
I know what it's like
62
00:02:32,686 --> 00:02:35,320
having to go through
a loved one's possessions.
63
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:37,956
My uncle was
a worshipper of Krishna.
64
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:40,526
But after he died,
you know what we found?
65
00:02:40,528 --> 00:02:43,595
A statue of Shiva.
66
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:47,733
It may not be
Crips and Bloods, okay?
67
00:02:47,735 --> 00:02:49,868
But in India, it's a thing.
68
00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:53,338
Well, it'll be good
that you're there.
69
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:54,606
Howard's been having
trouble deciding
70
00:02:54,608 --> 00:02:56,508
what to keep
and what to let go.
71
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,076
Well, it's hard.
72
00:02:58,078 --> 00:03:01,346
A lot of Ma's stuff
brings back fond memories.
73
00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:02,781
Is that why you couldn't
get rid of
74
00:03:02,783 --> 00:03:05,584
her drawer
full of ketchup packets?
75
00:03:05,586 --> 00:03:08,820
Yes. It reminds me of us
eating out and her saying,
76
00:03:08,822 --> 00:03:11,623
"Quick, nobody's looking,
fill your pockets with ketchup."
77
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:21,066
Leonard?
78
00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:24,236
Have you ever noticed that
79
00:03:24,238 --> 00:03:27,906
only my name is
on the cable bill?
80
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,409
Yeah.
81
00:03:30,411 --> 00:03:33,111
Good, good.
82
00:03:33,113 --> 00:03:35,013
And your name is
on the electric bill
83
00:03:35,015 --> 00:03:36,915
and mine isn't.
84
00:03:36,917 --> 00:03:38,283
And I'm okay with that.
85
00:03:38,285 --> 00:03:40,686
Actually, your name is
on the electric bill.
86
00:03:40,688 --> 00:03:42,487
Oh, right.
87
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:47,593
This is a disaster.
88
00:03:47,595 --> 00:03:51,029
I don't even know what you're
talking about and I agree.
89
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:54,633
Okay, I have
to tell you something,
90
00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:56,635
but you're not going to like it.
91
00:03:56,637 --> 00:03:58,070
What's going on?
92
00:03:58,072 --> 00:04:00,706
An article was just published
93
00:04:00,708 --> 00:04:03,609
in Scientific American
about our theory.
94
00:04:03,611 --> 00:04:05,210
Did they hate it?
95
00:04:05,212 --> 00:04:07,346
No. No, they loved it.
96
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:09,881
They, uh, couldn't say enough
nice things about it.
97
00:04:09,883 --> 00:04:12,317
So what's the problem?
98
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:16,888
You know how the PennySaver
only has my name...
99
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:18,190
Sheldon!
100
00:04:18,192 --> 00:04:20,826
They didn't mention you
in the article.
101
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,227
Only me.
102
00:04:22,229 --> 00:04:24,062
Really?
103
00:04:24,064 --> 00:04:25,197
I know.
104
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:27,266
It's not fair.
105
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:32,304
Let the anger
go, buddy.
106
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:33,805
You just...
107
00:04:33,807 --> 00:04:36,508
you relax all
your muscles.
108
00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:39,177
Except for your pubococcygeus
and anal sphincter.
109
00:04:39,179 --> 00:04:41,747
Let's keep those tight.
110
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:45,050
Uh, that-that's not necessary.
111
00:04:45,052 --> 00:04:47,686
It is-- they're what hold back
the urine and the feces.
112
00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:50,522
Look, maybe-maybe
you shouldn't read it.
113
00:04:50,524 --> 00:04:52,557
It'll only make you feel worse.
114
00:04:52,559 --> 00:04:55,060
"Cooper and his team"?
115
00:04:55,062 --> 00:04:57,496
You should know
I had nothing to do with that.
116
00:04:57,498 --> 00:04:59,665
Uh...
117
00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:02,267
at least they're talking
about the theory.
118
00:05:02,269 --> 00:05:04,503
I mean, that's what's important.
119
00:05:04,505 --> 00:05:07,072
You know, you're right.
120
00:05:07,074 --> 00:05:10,075
Yeah. You know, it's like
when Stan Lee and Steve Ditko
121
00:05:10,077 --> 00:05:11,810
created Spider-Man.
122
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:13,745
Stan Lee may get all the credit,
123
00:05:13,747 --> 00:05:16,648
but Steve Ditko knows
he was just as important.
124
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:19,518
Even though Stan Lee gets
to be in all the Marvel movies.
125
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,253
And-and he's far richer.
126
00:05:21,255 --> 00:05:23,455
And he's a household name,
you know?
127
00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:25,757
Whereas, you know,
you say Ditko,
128
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,226
and that sounds like
a company that makes Dits.
129
00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:32,531
That's not helping.
130
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:36,068
Well, I'd give more examples,
131
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:39,371
but, well, everyone in
your position's so forgettable.
132
00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:44,276
Stuart, we're here.
133
00:05:44,278 --> 00:05:47,145
It's nice of you to let him keep
staying at your mom's house.
134
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:49,748
Yeah, well, I tried putting him
out on the curb,
135
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:51,483
but nobody took him.
136
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:54,252
Hey.
137
00:05:54,254 --> 00:05:56,221
Just so you know,
the power's out.
138
00:05:56,223 --> 00:05:57,489
What happened?
139
00:05:57,491 --> 00:05:59,758
I called,
they said a transformer blew.
140
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,859
It's the whole block.
141
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,060
Should be fixed by tomorrow.
142
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:03,929
Wait, when did it go out?
143
00:06:03,931 --> 00:06:05,364
In the middle of the night.
144
00:06:05,366 --> 00:06:08,100
Oh, my God.
145
00:06:08,102 --> 00:06:10,335
Howie, what's wrong?
146
00:06:13,306 --> 00:06:14,973
It's all defrosting.
147
00:06:14,975 --> 00:06:16,641
It's okay. It's just food.
148
00:06:16,643 --> 00:06:19,478
It's not just food.
149
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,347
This is the last food
my mother ever made.
150
00:06:23,583 --> 00:06:24,883
This is her
last brisket.
151
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:26,485
This is her
last meatloaf.
152
00:06:26,487 --> 00:06:27,819
This is her last...
153
00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:32,557
I have no idea
what this is, but...
154
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:35,394
it's the last one.
155
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:37,028
Everything okay?
156
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:38,230
No.
157
00:06:38,232 --> 00:06:41,266
All Ma's food is
gonna be ruined.
158
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,635
Well, why don't we take it home
and put it in our freezer?
159
00:06:43,637 --> 00:06:45,337
You don't want
to do that.
160
00:06:45,339 --> 00:06:47,305
Refreezing not only
removes moisture,
161
00:06:47,307 --> 00:06:49,608
but it creates ice crystals
in the fibers of the meat
162
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:52,310
that can compromise
its taste and texture.
163
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,147
What? I saw a teachable moment.
164
00:06:55,149 --> 00:06:57,482
I dropped some culinary science.
165
00:06:59,685 --> 00:07:01,586
What should we do?
166
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:03,889
I'll tell you exactly
what we're gonna do.
167
00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:05,724
We're gonna eat it.
168
00:07:05,726 --> 00:07:07,592
There's, like, 20 pounds
of food in there.
169
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:08,693
All you said
170
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,362
was I had to get rid of things.
171
00:07:10,364 --> 00:07:13,265
You didn't say they couldn't
pass through my colon first.
172
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:16,568
Howie...
173
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:18,203
Okay.
174
00:07:18,205 --> 00:07:20,705
Then how about this?
175
00:07:20,707 --> 00:07:22,908
Let's invite everyone
over to dinner.
176
00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:26,845
It'll be like Ma's feeding us
one last time.
177
00:07:26,847 --> 00:07:29,614
I love that.
178
00:07:30,917 --> 00:07:33,418
Me, too.
179
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:35,387
Oh, look,
we've got enough ketchup
180
00:07:35,389 --> 00:07:37,589
to cover every ounce of it.
181
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:43,728
I mean, who even reads
Scientific American?
182
00:07:45,164 --> 00:07:48,767
It's kind of
a big deal.
183
00:07:48,769 --> 00:07:51,203
If it's such a big deal,
how come the biggest celebrity
184
00:07:51,205 --> 00:07:53,738
they could get for the cover
is a molecule?
185
00:07:55,608 --> 00:07:57,609
Can we please just
stop talking about it?
186
00:07:57,611 --> 00:07:59,578
I'm sorry.
What can I do?
187
00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:01,713
Nothing, I'm fine.
(sighs)
188
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:03,982
No, no.
I'm gonna cheer you up.
189
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:05,717
(clears throat)
190
00:08:05,719 --> 00:08:07,652
Here we go.
191
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:08,987
What are we doing?
192
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:10,789
I am taking you shopping.
Oh.
193
00:08:10,791 --> 00:08:14,459
My baby is sad, and I'm gonna
make him happy again.
194
00:08:14,461 --> 00:08:16,294
Look, I know shopping
cheers you up,
195
00:08:16,296 --> 00:08:18,263
but it's just not
really my thing.
196
00:08:18,265 --> 00:08:19,898
Well, what about
this helicopter
197
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:21,633
you control with an iPad?
198
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:24,503
Does it have
a camera in it?
199
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:27,906
It does have
a camera in it.
200
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:30,709
Baby's listening.
201
00:08:30,711 --> 00:08:32,511
(knocks)
SHELDON: Leonard?
202
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:34,379
(knocks) Leonard?
(knocks) Leonard?
203
00:08:34,381 --> 00:08:35,514
What?
204
00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:37,616
I spoke to the reporter
at the magazine.
205
00:08:39,852 --> 00:08:42,153
What happened?
Did you tell him it was my idea?
206
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:43,188
I did.
207
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,090
Thank you. What did he say?
208
00:08:45,092 --> 00:08:47,826
He said they made
the editorial decision
209
00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:49,928
to only cite the lead scientist.
210
00:08:49,930 --> 00:08:52,364
Why did he think
you're the lead scientist?
211
00:08:52,366 --> 00:08:54,332
It was my idea!
212
00:08:54,334 --> 00:08:55,600
You know,
for an extra four bucks,
213
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:57,536
I can have this thing
here tomorrow.
214
00:08:57,538 --> 00:08:59,738
Well, I know it
was your idea,
215
00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:02,908
but the reporter said he's been
following my work for a while,
216
00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:04,910
and the only reason they even
mentioned it in the magazine
217
00:09:04,912 --> 00:09:06,177
is 'cause my name is on it.
218
00:09:06,179 --> 00:09:08,980
You know what? I did it.
What's four bucks?
219
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:10,916
If you're trying
to make me feel better,
220
00:09:10,918 --> 00:09:12,350
it's not working.
221
00:09:12,352 --> 00:09:15,186
Well... then what if I told you
222
00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:18,290
that I added your name
to the cable bill?
223
00:09:20,259 --> 00:09:22,694
No.
Oh.
224
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:24,195
That's just as well.
They had me on hold
225
00:09:24,197 --> 00:09:26,031
for 20 minutes and I hung up.
I...
226
00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:29,968
(knocks) Leonard?
(knocks) Leonard?
227
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,636
(knocks) Leonard?
228
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:38,543
Also, Wolowitz invited us all
to dinner, so...
229
00:09:38,545 --> 00:09:41,146
I'm ready whenever you are.
230
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:49,654
All he had was an idea.
231
00:09:49,656 --> 00:09:51,356
Well, that is an important part.
232
00:09:51,358 --> 00:09:52,657
Oh, please!
233
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,626
I have ideas all day long.
234
00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:58,330
Reverse SeaWorld where dolphins
are allowed to pet people.
235
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:04,102
A new clothing size between
medium and large called Marge.
236
00:10:05,204 --> 00:10:07,973
Snow White retold from
the point of view of Sneezy.
237
00:10:07,975 --> 00:10:10,008
Why won't Doc
prescribe him something?
238
00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:12,510
We finally find out.
239
00:10:12,512 --> 00:10:14,412
But Leonard's idea was good.
240
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:19,651
Fine. Then Grumpy--
what's he so grumpy about?
241
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:22,253
Maybe his girlfriend
won't take his side.
242
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:26,558
I'm the one
who thought of it!
243
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,560
Well, didn't he do
a lot of the work?
244
00:10:28,562 --> 00:10:30,662
But now he's happy
to let people think
245
00:10:30,664 --> 00:10:33,498
he's responsible for everything.
246
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,534
And that's why you get
an iPad helicopter!
247
00:10:38,070 --> 00:10:41,673
Is it my fault I have a much
bigger reputation than he does?
248
00:10:41,675 --> 00:10:42,907
It's not your fault.
249
00:10:42,909 --> 00:10:44,776
Is it my fault
that my name came first
250
00:10:44,778 --> 00:10:46,411
on the paper alphabetically?
251
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:47,679
Not your fault.
252
00:10:47,681 --> 00:10:49,547
Is it my fault
that when the reporter cited me
253
00:10:49,549 --> 00:10:51,583
as the lead scientist
I didn't correct him?
254
00:10:51,585 --> 00:10:54,219
Hey, look at that pretty bird.
255
00:10:55,888 --> 00:10:57,656
He always needs
all the attention.
256
00:10:57,658 --> 00:10:58,823
He's such a baby.
257
00:10:58,825 --> 00:11:00,492
I know, I know.
258
00:11:00,494 --> 00:11:02,894
I swear, he is never ever
playing with my helicopter.
259
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:09,868
Okay, I'll start heating
some of this stuff up.
260
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:11,102
Thanks.
261
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:12,637
Oh, man.
262
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:16,508
This is the boutonniere
from my high school prom...
263
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:17,475
(chuckles)
264
00:11:17,477 --> 00:11:21,312
...a piece of cake
from my Bar Mitzvah.
265
00:11:21,314 --> 00:11:22,747
Did she throw
anything away?
266
00:11:22,749 --> 00:11:24,015
No.
267
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:27,218
If I find my foreskin,
I'm gonna kill myself.
268
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:32,490
Okay, so we've got, um,
269
00:11:32,492 --> 00:11:35,326
three briskets, four
meatloafs, one lasagna...
270
00:11:35,328 --> 00:11:37,162
No, that's noodle kugel.
271
00:11:37,164 --> 00:11:39,164
One Jewish lasagna...
272
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,401
...two pound cakes that are
about eight pounds each,
273
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:46,471
and one giant container
of matzah ball soup.
274
00:11:46,473 --> 00:11:50,842
Ma always kept it on hand,
275
00:11:50,844 --> 00:11:53,678
in case I got sick.
276
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,550
She thought she could cure
anything with her cooking.
277
00:11:58,552 --> 00:12:01,519
Even the time
I got food poisoning.
278
00:12:03,456 --> 00:12:05,356
From her cooking.
279
00:12:07,326 --> 00:12:09,127
You okay?
280
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:12,130
Yeah, I'm okay.
281
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:13,665
Let's get started.
282
00:12:13,667 --> 00:12:15,233
You got it.
283
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:23,208
(voice breaking): I'm never
gonna talk to her again.
284
00:12:31,450 --> 00:12:33,284
Should we tell
everyone not to come?
285
00:12:33,286 --> 00:12:36,488
No. I want to do this.
286
00:12:36,490 --> 00:12:39,457
Okay. Well, I'll keep
it together if you can.
287
00:12:39,459 --> 00:12:41,626
Okay. (chuckles)
288
00:12:42,728 --> 00:12:45,063
(voice breaking):
I'm not making any promises!
289
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:49,968
Glad you guys
could make it.
290
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:50,969
Of course.
291
00:12:50,971 --> 00:12:52,504
Wow, it looks really
pretty in here.
292
00:12:52,506 --> 00:12:55,840
Yeah, turns out half a dozen
menorahs really sets a mood.
293
00:12:58,110 --> 00:12:59,377
So, Stuart,
have you thought about
294
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:01,212
what you'd do
if Howard sells the house?
295
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:03,381
And there goes the mood.
296
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:05,517
Hi. Hello.
297
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,452
Oh, and a special
hello to Leonard,
298
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:11,089
who needs to be
mentioned by name.
299
00:13:11,091 --> 00:13:12,757
Subtle.
300
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:14,125
But you got it, right?
301
00:13:15,895 --> 00:13:17,195
Hey, guys.
302
00:13:17,197 --> 00:13:18,563
Hey.
Hi.
Hello.
303
00:13:18,565 --> 00:13:19,831
I just want
everyone to know,
304
00:13:19,833 --> 00:13:22,901
uh, tonight's not
a sad occasion.
305
00:13:22,903 --> 00:13:24,803
Yeah, we just want to have
the kind of dinner
306
00:13:24,805 --> 00:13:26,504
that we've all had here
so many times before.
307
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:29,274
Good food, good friends, and
sometime around midnight,
308
00:13:29,276 --> 00:13:31,843
heartburn that makes
you pray for death.
309
00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:34,979
Do you need any help
in the kitchen?
310
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:37,448
No, we got it. You guys
make yourselves comfortable.
311
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:42,153
All right, hey, you two, we're
here for Howard right now, okay?
312
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:44,222
Yes, so please
behave yourselves.
313
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:45,957
Fine.
Of course.
314
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:51,696
So I heard you two, uh,
wrote a paper together.
315
00:13:51,698 --> 00:13:52,931
How's that going?
316
00:13:56,902 --> 00:13:58,937
This food is amazing.
317
00:13:58,939 --> 00:14:01,539
Mm, and not
a vegetable in sight.
318
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:02,807
That's not true.
319
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:04,275
We've got tomatoes right here.
320
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:10,248
All these bright people sitting
around a table by candlelight.
321
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:13,451
Feels like we could be an
18th century French salon.
322
00:14:13,453 --> 00:14:14,919
Indeed.
323
00:14:14,921 --> 00:14:18,089
Penny, a salon is a gathering
324
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:20,191
where intellectuals
entertained each other
325
00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:22,560
with sparkling conversations
about issues of the day.
326
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:24,729
Oh, so it's like The View.
327
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:31,569
Sheldon, The View is a daytime
talk show hosted by women.
328
00:14:32,404 --> 00:14:33,771
Oh, I'm aware.
329
00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:35,406
It features Whoopi Goldberg.
330
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:38,443
She played Guinan on
Star Trek: Next Gen.
331
00:14:38,445 --> 00:14:40,678
Penny, Next Gen
refers to Star Trek...
332
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,880
Shut up.
333
00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:46,951
I would like to
propose a salon topic.
334
00:14:46,953 --> 00:14:48,586
Ooh, please do, Rajesh.
335
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:50,755
The lead in The Hunger
Games is a woman.
336
00:14:50,757 --> 00:14:52,824
Marvel has made
"Tor" a female.
337
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:54,859
Wait, who's Tor?
338
00:14:54,861 --> 00:14:58,830
You know, Tor,
the God of "Tunder."
339
00:14:59,765 --> 00:15:02,667
As I was saying,
is this a sign
340
00:15:02,669 --> 00:15:05,970
that our society is
approaching gender equality?
341
00:15:05,972 --> 00:15:09,374
Certainly a lot more women
are reading comic books now.
342
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:10,508
It's true.
343
00:15:10,510 --> 00:15:14,646
At the store, I had to put
a seat on the toilet.
344
00:15:14,648 --> 00:15:16,014
We won't know
if there's equality
345
00:15:16,016 --> 00:15:17,882
until female Thor has a baby
346
00:15:17,884 --> 00:15:21,152
and the Avengers are cool with
her pumping breast milk at work.
347
00:15:22,221 --> 00:15:24,088
I wonder if only a baby
who is worthy
348
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,190
can suckle at the bosom of Thor.
349
00:15:26,192 --> 00:15:28,192
PENNY:
Okay, new salon topic.
350
00:15:28,194 --> 00:15:31,062
Salons-- dumb thing
from a long time ago
351
00:15:31,064 --> 00:15:34,198
or interesting thing made dumb
by talking about superheroes?
352
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,266
Discuss.
353
00:15:36,735 --> 00:15:39,137
I don't believe it matters
what the topic is.
354
00:15:39,139 --> 00:15:41,472
What's crucial for a salon
355
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:42,974
is that we conduct
the discussion
356
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:45,310
in an elevated
and insightful way.
357
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:47,245
It's all about the execution.
358
00:15:47,247 --> 00:15:50,848
Of course you'd focus on that
rather than the inspiration.
359
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:52,517
Uh, new salon topic.
360
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:55,486
What's more important,
an idea or its execution?
361
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:57,088
Oh, that's fun.
362
00:15:57,090 --> 00:15:58,723
Yeah, good for you, Leonard.
363
00:15:58,725 --> 00:16:00,258
That's a lovely little notion.
364
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,626
Kind of like,
365
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:04,128
"I wish I could talk
to my uncle in Chicago."
366
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:07,198
Yeah, now stand back
while I invent the telephone.
367
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,167
"Hello? Oh, hold on."
368
00:16:09,169 --> 00:16:10,368
Leonard, it's your uncle.
369
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:12,637
He says you just got burned.
370
00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:14,939
Sheldon.
371
00:16:14,941 --> 00:16:16,441
You guys.
No, it's okay.
372
00:16:16,443 --> 00:16:18,743
We're all adults trying to have
an intelligent discussion.
373
00:16:18,745 --> 00:16:19,911
At least I am.
374
00:16:19,913 --> 00:16:21,312
Howard, what
do you think?
375
00:16:21,314 --> 00:16:25,950
Well, I guess, as an engineer,
I lean towards execution.
376
00:16:25,952 --> 00:16:27,018
I spend my days
377
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:28,319
trying to take
378
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:30,021
ideas and make them real.
379
00:16:30,023 --> 00:16:32,357
Well said, old chap.
380
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:35,059
I thought eloquence had died;
here it stands before us.
381
00:16:35,061 --> 00:16:37,028
Starting today, it'll go:
Gettysburg Address,
382
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:39,764
"I have a dream"
and what you just said.
383
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:41,132
Oh, now he's a genius?
384
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:43,634
All you ever do is make fun
of him and engineering.
385
00:16:43,636 --> 00:16:46,671
Leonard, please.
His mother just died.
386
00:16:46,673 --> 00:16:48,606
You're being ridiculous.
387
00:16:48,608 --> 00:16:49,807
Yeah, so are you.
388
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:51,342
Guys, if I wanted to hear
people be bitchy,
389
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:52,677
I'd go to my real salon.
390
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:55,446
Leonard, lots of people
could've had that idea,
391
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:56,814
but very few people could've
392
00:16:56,816 --> 00:16:58,649
worked out the math
the way I did.
393
00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:01,085
Lots of people
also didn't have that idea,
394
00:17:01,087 --> 00:17:03,988
like everyone in the entire
world except for me.
395
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,923
Oh, well,
apparently Leonard thinks
396
00:17:05,925 --> 00:17:07,792
he's better than everyone
in the whole world,
397
00:17:07,794 --> 00:17:08,893
including those
398
00:17:08,895 --> 00:17:10,261
fighting for our freedom.
399
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:11,629
Yeah, well,
I don't know about you,
400
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:13,331
but I support our boys overseas.
401
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,501
And girls.
402
00:17:16,503 --> 00:17:19,203
Hey, you already ruined Thor;
give it a rest.
403
00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:21,839
So I'm just supposed to be okay
404
00:17:21,841 --> 00:17:23,908
with you hogging
all the credit?!
405
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:25,777
I didn't hog anything.
406
00:17:25,779 --> 00:17:29,113
Unlike you and that weird
lasagna with raisins in it.
407
00:17:29,115 --> 00:17:30,348
You want some of this?
408
00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:31,849
I'll give you some.
BERNADETTE: Hey!
409
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:33,618
Sheldon, Leonard,
living room, right now!
410
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:43,461
She said my name first;
that must kill you.
411
00:17:43,463 --> 00:17:45,663
BERNADETTE: I don't know
what you think you're doing,
412
00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:48,032
but this is a very difficult
time for my husband!
413
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:50,835
We're eating the last food
his mother ever made,
414
00:17:50,837 --> 00:17:53,304
and you were gonna throw it
at each other like children?!
415
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:55,506
Whatever it is you're
fighting about, put it aside,
416
00:17:55,508 --> 00:17:57,809
go back in there
and be a good friend to Howard
417
00:17:57,811 --> 00:18:00,478
or there's no dessert
for either of you!
418
00:18:02,681 --> 00:18:05,116
Look at me
when I'm talking to you!
419
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:06,617
And don't think...
420
00:18:06,619 --> 00:18:10,888
You guys ever notice sometimes
Bernadette sounds like my mom?
421
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:12,824
I don't hear it.
No, not at all.
422
00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:22,033
(all groaning quietly)
423
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:29,474
I don't think I've eaten
that much in my entire life.
424
00:18:29,476 --> 00:18:32,710
It's why my people wandered
the desert for 40 years.
425
00:18:32,712 --> 00:18:35,313
Took that long to walk it off.
426
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:39,150
You see, Penny, the Israelites
were in the desert...
427
00:18:39,152 --> 00:18:41,619
Shut up!
428
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:44,622
So glad you two
are done fighting.
429
00:18:44,624 --> 00:18:49,227
Right now, I'm just trying
to burp without throwing up.
430
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:50,394
SHELDON:
Hang on.
431
00:18:50,396 --> 00:18:53,231
Physics Today
mentioned the paper.
432
00:18:53,233 --> 00:18:54,432
What'd they say?
433
00:18:54,434 --> 00:18:56,834
Who cares?
Did they mention Leonard?
434
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:58,002
They did.
435
00:18:58,004 --> 00:18:59,437
ALL:
Yay.
436
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:04,208
Good news, I found more Tums.
ALL: Yay!
