1
00:00:01,806 --> 00:00:04,007
Look, I know you guys don't want
to do this,
2
00:00:04,009 --> 00:00:05,141
but we have no choice.
3
00:00:05,143 --> 00:00:06,510
So, you can either
bitch and whine
4
00:00:06,512 --> 00:00:08,011
or we can
just get it over with.
5
00:00:08,013 --> 00:00:08,895
I got "whine."
6
00:00:08,897 --> 00:00:10,564
I got the "b word."
7
00:00:10,566 --> 00:00:12,716
Yeah, well,
it's in our contract
8
00:00:12,718 --> 00:00:14,401
to serve on a
university committee.
9
00:00:14,403 --> 00:00:15,402
And frankly,
10
00:00:15,404 --> 00:00:16,653
this is one I believe in.
11
00:00:16,655 --> 00:00:17,988
Okay, here we go.
12
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:20,890
Encouraging more women to
pursue a career in the sciences.
13
00:00:20,892 --> 00:00:22,325
Come on,
if I was any good
14
00:00:22,327 --> 00:00:23,726
at convincing women to do stuff,
15
00:00:23,728 --> 00:00:26,496
I wouldn't have spent so much of
my 20s in the shower.
16
00:00:28,115 --> 00:00:29,182
If you ask me,
17
00:00:29,184 --> 00:00:31,001
this whole thing is a waste of
our time.
18
00:00:31,003 --> 00:00:32,252
Helping women?
19
00:00:32,254 --> 00:00:34,904
Yeah, helping anyone.
20
00:00:34,906 --> 00:00:37,290
People should take care
of themselves.
21
00:00:37,292 --> 00:00:38,842
Oh, like yesterday,
22
00:00:38,844 --> 00:00:41,044
when you made me drive you
to the dry cleaners,
23
00:00:41,046 --> 00:00:42,912
the pharmacy
and the post office?
24
00:00:42,914 --> 00:00:45,682
I'm not saying people
can't use tools.
25
00:00:47,285 --> 00:00:50,353
Even an otter picks up a rock
when he wants a clam.
26
00:00:51,772 --> 00:00:52,939
You don't think it's worthwhile
27
00:00:52,941 --> 00:00:55,025
to try to get more women
working in science.
28
00:00:55,027 --> 00:00:57,193
I think
that's incredibly sexist of you.
29
00:00:57,195 --> 00:00:59,529
I believe in a
gender-blind society
30
00:00:59,531 --> 00:01:02,532
like in Star Trek,
where women and men
31
00:01:02,534 --> 00:01:06,119
of all races and creeds
work side by side as equals.
32
00:01:06,121 --> 00:01:08,622
You mean
where they were advanced enough
33
00:01:08,624 --> 00:01:10,674
to invent
an interstellar warp drive,
34
00:01:10,676 --> 00:01:14,077
but a black lady still answered
the space phone?
35
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:16,713
Oh, I did spend a lot of my
36
00:01:16,715 --> 00:01:18,665
shower time
with Lieutenant Uhura.
37
00:01:20,051 --> 00:01:23,453
Howard's
disturbing recollections aside,
38
00:01:23,455 --> 00:01:25,839
I don't appreciate
being forced to do
39
00:01:25,841 --> 00:01:26,973
banal committee work.
40
00:01:26,975 --> 00:01:28,892
Yes, I know,
you're too smart for this.
41
00:01:28,894 --> 00:01:29,876
Exactly.
42
00:01:29,878 --> 00:01:31,344
It's like
asking the Human Torch
43
00:01:31,346 --> 00:01:34,064
to heat up your frozen burrito.
44
00:01:34,066 --> 00:01:35,148
Got it.
45
00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:37,150
All right,
I'm thinking one way
46
00:01:37,152 --> 00:01:39,069
to counter bias
in the peer-review process,
47
00:01:39,071 --> 00:01:41,521
is for papers to be submitted
under gender-neutral names.
48
00:01:41,523 --> 00:01:42,906
Like S. Smith
49
00:01:42,908 --> 00:01:44,157
instead of Samantha Smith.
50
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,943
I suppose there is a history of
professional women
51
00:01:46,945 --> 00:01:49,613
using their initials,
so as not to be pre-judged.
52
00:01:49,615 --> 00:01:51,865
Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling,
53
00:01:51,867 --> 00:01:54,034
uh, Star Trek's D.C. Fontana.
54
00:01:54,036 --> 00:01:57,087
Van Nuys pole-dancer
D.D. Melons.
55
00:01:59,423 --> 00:02:01,875
All right, I think we've
really helped women today.
56
00:02:01,877 --> 00:02:03,426
Let's fire
up the old Xbox.
57
00:02:03,428 --> 00:02:05,712
Guys, please don't make this
a school project
58
00:02:05,714 --> 00:02:07,547
where I'm the smart kid doing
all the work
59
00:02:07,549 --> 00:02:09,182
while the slackers
sit back and watch.
60
00:02:09,184 --> 00:02:10,433
No, we're not.
61
00:02:10,435 --> 00:02:11,785
This time you're the smart
kid doing all the work
62
00:02:11,787 --> 00:02:14,638
while the even smarter kids
sit back and watch.
63
00:02:15,556 --> 00:02:17,607
So, you think I'm
one of the smarter kids?
64
00:02:17,609 --> 00:02:20,110
No, you're a tool I was

75
00:02:52,825 --> 00:02:55,659
Guys, our topic is "Encouraging
Women in Science."
76
00:02:55,661 --> 00:02:58,078
Can you at least play
a less sexist game
77
00:03:02,183 --> 00:03:04,417
How is it sexist?
78
00:03:04,419 --> 00:03:08,338
My character wields a
battle axe as well as any man.
79
00:03:09,474 --> 00:03:11,391
Not to mention she
has mammary glands
80
00:03:11,393 --> 00:03:13,093
that could
nurse a family of 30.
81
00:03:14,395 --> 00:03:19,649
And have enough milk left over
to open a Baskin Robbins.
82
00:03:19,651 --> 00:03:23,487
Mother, warrior-princess,
franchise owner--
83
00:03:23,489 --> 00:03:26,857
I hear glass ceilings
shattering all over town.
84
00:03:26,859 --> 00:03:28,608
Sheldon,
you're always saying
85
00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:30,494
how much smarter
you are than me.
86
00:03:30,496 --> 00:03:32,362
Spend five seconds
and come up with one idea
87
00:03:32,364 --> 00:03:34,247
on how to get more women
into science.
88
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,452
All your ideas address the issue
at a university level.
89
00:03:39,454 --> 00:03:40,504
By then it's too late.
90
00:03:40,506 --> 00:03:42,722
You need to
design an outreach program
91
00:03:42,724 --> 00:03:44,424
that targets girls
at the middle school level
92
00:03:44,426 --> 00:03:46,293
and sets them on an
academic track
93
00:03:46,295 --> 00:03:47,761
towards the hard sciences.
94
00:03:47,763 --> 00:03:49,496
That's actually good.
95
00:03:49,498 --> 00:03:51,882
Why didn't I
think of that?
96
00:03:51,884 --> 00:03:54,050
Some people are otters,
some people are rocks.
97
00:03:57,939 --> 00:03:59,439
I wonder if there's a way
98
00:03:59,441 --> 00:04:01,841
we could give the idea
a trial run.
99
00:04:01,843 --> 00:04:05,362
Maybe I could call my old
middle school,
100
00:04:05,364 --> 00:04:08,181
see if we can talk to some of
the female students.
101
00:04:08,183 --> 00:04:09,349
That's great--
try to set up something
102
00:04:09,351 --> 00:04:10,984
for the three of us
to go over there.
103
00:04:10,986 --> 00:04:12,202
Oh, hold on.
104
00:04:12,204 --> 00:04:14,004
While I'm comfortable speaking
about science,
105
00:04:14,006 --> 00:04:16,990
I'm not sure I know how to spark
the interest of schoolchildren.
106
00:04:16,992 --> 00:04:19,459
Better Google it.
107
00:04:19,461 --> 00:04:21,511
What exactly are you looking up?
108
00:04:21,513 --> 00:04:25,749
"How do I get
12-year-old girls excited."
109
00:04:25,751 --> 00:04:27,617
No!
No!
110
00:04:32,456 --> 00:04:35,141
Thanks again for letting
me crash "girls' night."
111
00:04:35,143 --> 00:04:36,176
Are you kidding?
112
00:04:36,178 --> 00:04:38,211
You brought fancy
wine and made fondue.
113
00:04:38,213 --> 00:04:40,597
I've slept
with guys for less.
114
00:04:45,436 --> 00:04:47,354
It's a joke.
115
00:04:47,356 --> 00:04:49,555
Based on real events.
116
00:04:49,557 --> 00:04:52,826
Anyway,
I was hoping I could, uh,
117
00:04:52,828 --> 00:04:53,944
pick your brains a little.
118
00:04:53,946 --> 00:04:55,662
I'm supposed to take
Lucy out Friday
119
00:04:55,664 --> 00:04:57,447
and I need a killer first date.
120
00:04:57,449 --> 00:05:00,784
Well, evolutionary biology
says that women are attracted
121
00:05:00,786 --> 00:05:03,253
to a man who is steady
in the face of danger,
122
00:05:03,255 --> 00:05:05,872
so I recommend an
unsafe environment.
123
00:05:06,924 --> 00:05:10,844
Seedy bar on the wrong
side of the tracks...
124
00:05:10,846 --> 00:05:14,247
picnic near
a lunatic asylum...
125
00:05:14,249 --> 00:05:17,350
a wine tasting on Skid Row.
126
00:05:18,436 --> 00:05:21,805
Eh, Lucy has some,
uh, social anxiety issues.
127
00:05:21,807 --> 00:05:23,640
Maybe we could start
with something simpler.
128
00:05:23,642 --> 00:05:26,059
Why don't you take
her to Disneyland?
129
00:05:26,061 --> 00:05:27,527
You go on Space Mountain,
130
00:05:27,529 --> 00:05:29,412
you're in the dark,
she's holding onto you.
131
00:05:29,414 --> 00:05:30,530
Yeah, but you
just have to remember,
132
00:05:30,532 --> 00:05:31,982
that ride is
shorter than you think
133
00:05:31,984 --> 00:05:33,933
and they take a
picture of you at the end,
134
00:05:33,935 --> 00:05:36,069
so make sure
you got your clothes back on.
135
00:05:38,406 --> 00:05:41,291
It's a joke.
136
00:05:41,293 --> 00:05:43,243
Based on real events.
137
00:05:43,245 --> 00:05:44,277
Mm, Disneyland?
138
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,662
I don't know.
139
00:05:45,664 --> 00:05:47,747
With all the crowds and the
weird characters walking around,
140
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:49,749
just reminds me
too much of India.
141
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:53,586
I haven't been to Disneyland
since I was a kid.
142
00:05:53,588 --> 00:05:54,921
We should
definitely go one weekend.
143
00:05:54,923 --> 00:05:56,306
Weekends are too crowded.
144
00:05:56,308 --> 00:05:58,008
So, blow off work,
go on a weekday.
145
00:05:58,010 --> 00:05:59,643
Hooky?
146
00:05:59,645 --> 00:06:01,695
I've never
played hooky in my life.
147
00:06:01,697 --> 00:06:03,580
My mom said
that's how girls end up
148
00:06:03,582 --> 00:06:06,182
addicted to
reefer and jazz music.
149
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:10,470
It's more like how girls end up
at a Best Western hotel
150
00:06:10,472 --> 00:06:12,906
with a 34-year-old guy
named Luther.
151
00:06:15,026 --> 00:06:16,026
Joke?
152
00:06:16,028 --> 00:06:18,578
I can laugh about it now.
153
00:06:21,666 --> 00:06:22,866
So, what do you say?
154
00:06:22,868 --> 00:06:24,534
This Friday we ditch work
and go to Disneyland?
155
00:06:24,536 --> 00:06:25,568
I'm in.
156
00:06:25,570 --> 00:06:27,203
Me, too.
157
00:06:27,205 --> 00:06:28,371
Excuse me,
158
00:06:28,373 --> 00:06:30,957
I thought we were trying to
solve my problem?
159
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:32,509
Oh, yeah, right.
160
00:06:32,511 --> 00:06:33,793
Wait, what was your problem
again?
161
00:06:33,795 --> 00:06:37,163
I am a man
who can't talk to women,
162
00:06:37,165 --> 00:06:39,516
trying to figure out how to go
on a romantic date
163
00:06:39,518 --> 00:06:41,551
with a girl who suffers
from such crippling
164
00:06:41,553 --> 00:06:44,771
social anxiety she can't be
around other people.
165
00:06:44,773 --> 00:06:47,424
Yeah, that's a toughie.
166
00:06:48,626 --> 00:06:50,760
Let's think.
167
00:06:50,762 --> 00:06:51,928
Hmm.
168
00:06:57,134 --> 00:07:01,571
We doing just Disney
or California Adventure, too?
169
00:07:02,707 --> 00:07:04,708
It's nice
of your old school
170
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:07,744
to let us try out our science
talk on some female students.
171
00:07:07,746 --> 00:07:08,962
Well, they're
actually pretty excited.
172
00:07:08,964 --> 00:07:11,147
I'm their
most famous alum.
173
00:07:11,149 --> 00:07:12,482
If you don't
count the serial killer
174
00:07:12,484 --> 00:07:14,200
who ate all
those prostitutes.
175
00:07:16,337 --> 00:07:17,754
This must feel
pretty good for you,
176
00:07:17,756 --> 00:07:20,140
coming back to your
alma mater as an astronaut.
177
00:07:20,142 --> 00:07:25,011
Yeah, last time I was here, I
was just a scrawny little nerd.
178
00:07:25,013 --> 00:07:28,714
And now
you're also an astronaut.
179
00:07:28,716 --> 00:07:29,899
So many memories.
180
00:07:29,901 --> 00:07:32,352
I mean, how many
times in these hallways
181
00:07:32,354 --> 00:07:36,406
was I tripped,
punched and spit on?
182
00:07:36,408 --> 00:07:38,558
Oh, look,
here's my old locker.
183
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,211
I have a
masters in engineering
184
00:07:41,213 --> 00:07:44,748
and I still can't figure out
how Scott Kapinski
185
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,916
got me and my briefcase
to fit in there.
186
00:07:50,621 --> 00:07:51,838
Hey.
187
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,906
What?
188
00:07:53,908 --> 00:07:55,542
Nothing.
189
00:07:57,962 --> 00:08:00,213
Smart. We don't
want any problems.
190
00:08:02,433 --> 00:08:04,717
I can't believe I ditched work
for Disneyland.
191
00:08:04,719 --> 00:08:06,469
What did you
tell your boss?
192
00:08:06,471 --> 00:08:08,888
Oh, I was very clever,
I did it in stages.
193
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:10,523
At 7:00 last night,
194
00:08:10,525 --> 00:08:12,275
I called about
a problem at the lab
195
00:08:12,277 --> 00:08:14,694
and casually mentioned
I was going out for seafood.
196
00:08:14,696 --> 00:08:16,146
At 9:30,
197
00:08:16,148 --> 00:08:19,732
I called and told him that
one of my scallops tasted weird.
198
00:08:19,734 --> 00:08:21,451
At 11:30, I called and said
199
00:08:21,453 --> 00:08:23,403
I was
throwing up like a fire hose.
200
00:08:25,072 --> 00:08:29,275
At 12:45, I called and made
nothing but dry heaving sounds,
201
00:08:29,277 --> 00:08:31,578
and now I'm
going to Disneyland.
202
00:08:33,247 --> 00:08:35,165
Penny, what did you say?
203
00:08:35,167 --> 00:08:36,466
I work at the
Cheesecake Factory,
204
00:08:36,468 --> 00:08:38,251
I said "bye."
205
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,754
So, what are we
gonna do first?
206
00:08:41,756 --> 00:08:42,972
I don't know
about you guys,
207
00:08:42,974 --> 00:08:44,257
but I'm gonna make
a beeline for the place
208
00:08:44,259 --> 00:08:45,642
that gives you
a princess makeover.
209
00:08:45,644 --> 00:08:47,260
Ooh, that sounds like fun.
210
00:08:47,262 --> 00:08:48,761
You're
kidding, right?
211
00:08:48,763 --> 00:08:51,347
We're not just gonna get drunk
and go on rides?
212
00:08:51,349 --> 00:08:54,400
Come on, do it with us.
213
00:08:54,402 --> 00:08:56,186
All right, whatever.
214
00:08:56,188 --> 00:08:57,403
How does it work?
215
00:08:57,405 --> 00:08:58,638
Okay, so,
you pick your princess--
216
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,690
Sleeping Beauty, Snow White
Cinderella--
217
00:09:00,692 --> 00:09:03,026
they give you
hair, makeup, the works.
218
00:09:03,028 --> 00:09:06,312
Guess it would be fun
to be Cinderella.
219
00:09:06,314 --> 00:09:07,864
Oh, I want to be Cinderella, too.
Yeah.
220
00:09:09,034 --> 00:09:11,084
We can't all be Cinderella.
221
00:09:14,121 --> 00:09:15,421
Then how do we decide?
222
00:09:15,423 --> 00:09:16,539
Well, it's simple.
223
00:09:16,541 --> 00:09:17,823
This was my idea.
224
00:09:17,825 --> 00:09:18,842
I'm driving.
225
00:09:18,844 --> 00:09:19,759
I'm Cinderella.
226
00:09:19,761 --> 00:09:21,327
You bitches
got a problem with that,
227
00:09:21,329 --> 00:09:23,346
we could stop the car right now.
228
00:09:35,842 --> 00:09:39,679
Excuse me,
I'm meeting a girl here.
229
00:09:39,681 --> 00:09:40,980
It's kind of our first date.
230
00:09:40,982 --> 00:09:43,533
In a library?
231
00:09:43,535 --> 00:09:46,519
She and I
are both a little awkward
232
00:09:46,521 --> 00:09:49,739
in social situations,
so this seemed like a good idea.
233
00:09:49,741 --> 00:09:54,794
People say
I'm a little awkward, too.
234
00:09:54,796 --> 00:09:56,679
May I join you?
235
00:09:56,681 --> 00:09:59,749
No, you can't join us.
236
00:09:59,751 --> 00:10:01,551
Just go-go climb back up
237
00:10:01,553 --> 00:10:04,003
whatever beanstalk you came
down from.
238
00:10:09,393 --> 00:10:11,227
You can do better.
239
00:10:15,966 --> 00:10:18,017
Oh, we're eating here?
240
00:10:24,158 --> 00:10:26,075
We're having
a texting date?
241
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:31,915
I love that.
242
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:38,237
As you're reading,
it will help to remember
243
00:10:38,239 --> 00:10:42,292
I have an adorable accent.
244
00:10:44,628 --> 00:10:49,599
Okay,
who's ready for some science?
245
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:55,254
Me, too.
246
00:10:55,256 --> 00:10:57,390
Okay, I am
Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.
247
00:10:57,392 --> 00:10:59,142
I am here with my friends
Dr. Cooper
248
00:10:59,144 --> 00:11:02,528
and real-life astronaut
Howard Wolowitz,
249
00:11:02,530 --> 00:11:04,147
and we are going
to show you girls
250
00:11:04,149 --> 00:11:07,900
how cool a job
in science can be.
251
00:11:07,902 --> 00:11:09,118
How cool, you ask?
252
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,155
Well, how about
negative 273 degrees,
253
00:11:12,157 --> 00:11:13,239
'cause that's the temperature
254
00:11:13,241 --> 00:11:16,926
at which entropy reaches
its minimum value.
255
00:11:18,946 --> 00:11:21,831
Did I just learn something new
and have fun doing it?
256
00:11:21,833 --> 00:11:24,133
What?
257
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:29,072
All right!
258
00:11:29,074 --> 00:11:31,057
So now let's bring out
259
00:11:31,059 --> 00:11:32,958
theoretical physicist
260
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,346
Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
261
00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:42,935
Hello, female children.
262
00:11:43,804 --> 00:11:46,873
Allow me to inspire you
263
00:11:46,875 --> 00:11:50,543
with a story
about a great female scientist.
264
00:11:50,545 --> 00:11:55,498
Polish-born, French-educated
Madame Curie.
265
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:57,367
Codiscoverer of
radioactivity,
266
00:11:57,369 --> 00:11:59,335
she was a hero
267
00:11:59,337 --> 00:12:03,172
of science...
until her hair fell out;
268
00:12:03,174 --> 00:12:06,592
her vomit and stool became
filled with blood...
269
00:12:06,594 --> 00:12:08,227
and she was poisoned
270
00:12:08,229 --> 00:12:11,097
to death by her own discovery.
271
00:12:12,466 --> 00:12:14,017
With a little hard work,
272
00:12:14,019 --> 00:12:17,970
I see no reason why
that can't happen to any of you.
273
00:12:21,191 --> 00:12:22,642
Are we done?
274
00:12:22,644 --> 00:12:24,794
Can we go?
275
00:12:32,341 --> 00:12:34,541
The thing to remember is
276
00:12:34,543 --> 00:12:36,760
you can go to outer space, too.
277
00:12:36,762 --> 00:12:38,629
I mean, look at me.
278
00:12:38,631 --> 00:12:40,997
I went to this very school.
279
00:12:40,999 --> 00:12:43,717
Those desks you're sitting in,
280
00:12:43,719 --> 00:12:46,219
I was once superglued
to one of them.
281
00:12:49,006 --> 00:12:50,107
Did you go to the moon?
282
00:12:50,109 --> 00:12:52,192
No, but I did go
283
00:12:52,194 --> 00:12:55,312
to the
International Space Station.
284
00:12:55,314 --> 00:12:56,179
Did you fly the rocket?
285
00:12:56,181 --> 00:12:57,764
No,
286
00:12:57,766 --> 00:13:00,517
but I was in the rocket.
287
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:02,185
I didn't actually...
288
00:13:02,187 --> 00:13:04,288
So you just flew around?
That's kind of like my uncle.
289
00:13:04,290 --> 00:13:05,689
He's a flight attendant.
290
00:13:10,128 --> 00:13:11,295
No...
291
00:13:11,297 --> 00:13:12,713
I'm an American hero.
292
00:13:12,715 --> 00:13:14,698
Your uncle
brings people nuts, okay?
293
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,001
Boy, we are learning
a lot here, huh?
294
00:13:18,003 --> 00:13:20,220
Thank you, astronaut Howard.
295
00:13:21,790 --> 00:13:24,224
Um, I am what's called
an experimental physicist,
296
00:13:24,226 --> 00:13:28,145
which is super-fun,
because I get to test theories
297
00:13:28,147 --> 00:13:29,479
and work with lasers.
298
00:13:29,481 --> 00:13:30,781
Yes?
299
00:13:30,783 --> 00:13:32,899
How did you decide
to become a scientist?
300
00:13:32,901 --> 00:13:34,351
Uh, excellent question.
301
00:13:34,353 --> 00:13:38,221
Um, I suppose I've always been
into science, you know...
302
00:13:38,223 --> 00:13:40,056
My mother and father
are scientists,
303
00:13:40,058 --> 00:13:42,058
so I was kind of led
in that direction.
304
00:13:42,060 --> 00:13:44,861
Eh, pushed might be
a better way to describe it.
305
00:13:44,863 --> 00:13:46,613
To be honest
with you guys,
306
00:13:46,615 --> 00:13:47,914
when I was your age,
307
00:13:47,916 --> 00:13:49,783
I wanted to be a rap star.
308
00:13:51,002 --> 00:13:52,202
Like Snoop Dogg,
309
00:13:52,204 --> 00:13:54,404
but with a healthy respect
for the police.
310
00:13:56,507 --> 00:13:58,258
Yeah, no, sure, you laugh.
311
00:13:58,260 --> 00:14:00,794
Just like my mother did.
312
00:14:01,596 --> 00:14:04,080
After I confided,
I was derided
313
00:14:04,082 --> 00:14:05,666
and chided,
my moms and I collided.
314
00:14:05,668 --> 00:14:07,917
She said my dreams
were misguided.
315
00:14:13,224 --> 00:14:16,426
That's just a little freestyle.
316
00:14:19,063 --> 00:14:21,865
My dad's a gynecologist
in India,
317
00:14:21,867 --> 00:14:24,434
so if you're over there
and need a check up,
318
00:14:24,436 --> 00:14:27,937
as he likes to say,
he's "at your cervix."
319
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:34,828
That's terrible.
320
00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:37,597
Your dad should be sent
to the pun-itentiary.
321
00:14:42,136 --> 00:14:44,171
That's a fitting
322
00:14:44,173 --> 00:14:45,672
pun-ishment.
323
00:14:50,561 --> 00:14:52,929
I still don't know
what you do for a living.
324
00:14:54,632 --> 00:14:57,234
Web design.
325
00:14:59,804 --> 00:15:02,089
Anything I might have seen?
326
00:15:03,524 --> 00:15:05,609
I don't know.
327
00:15:05,611 --> 00:15:07,711
You ever look
at porn Web sites?
328
00:15:18,473 --> 00:15:20,507
No, never.
329
00:15:20,509 --> 00:15:22,759
What is porn?
330
00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:27,748
Sorry. Autocorrect.
331
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:29,766
That was supposed to say
332
00:15:29,768 --> 00:15:32,001
"prom Web sites."
333
00:15:35,690 --> 00:15:39,075
Ooh, fun. I love prom.
334
00:15:39,077 --> 00:15:40,544
The romance, the gowns,
335
00:15:40,546 --> 00:15:43,113
it's like a fairy tale come
to life.
336
00:15:51,289 --> 00:15:52,722
Sorry. Autocorrect.
337
00:15:52,724 --> 00:15:53,957
That was supposed to say,
338
00:15:53,959 --> 00:15:56,326
"I like sports."
339
00:15:59,213 --> 00:16:02,649
I never wanted to play
the cello.
340
00:16:03,885 --> 00:16:06,253
How do you meet girls
playing the cello?
341
00:16:06,255 --> 00:16:08,088
"Hey, you want
to come over to my house
342
00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:09,573
"and listen to me play
an instrument
343
00:16:09,575 --> 00:16:11,808
that sounds like
a suicidal bumblebee?"
344
00:16:12,977 --> 00:16:14,845
Quick,
pull the fire alarm.
345
00:16:14,847 --> 00:16:17,063
Let's get out of here.
346
00:16:17,065 --> 00:16:18,648
Uh, hello again.
347
00:16:18,650 --> 00:16:22,519
Um, yeah, I don't know
if women in general
348
00:16:22,521 --> 00:16:26,106
have been actively discouraged
from pursuing the sciences,
349
00:16:26,108 --> 00:16:31,060
but it's clear you young women
here, today, have been.
350
00:16:35,166 --> 00:16:38,418
While I was listening to
my colleagues waste your time,
351
00:16:38,420 --> 00:16:41,905
it occurred to me that it
might be much more meaningful
352
00:16:41,907 --> 00:16:44,207
to hear about women in science
353
00:16:44,209 --> 00:16:46,760
from actual women in science,
354
00:16:46,762 --> 00:16:49,763
and, uh, I happen to know
two brilliant examples
355
00:16:49,765 --> 00:16:53,049
who have agreed to speak
to you on the phone right now.
356
00:16:53,051 --> 00:16:56,553
Uh, Dr. Rostenkowski,
Dr. Fowler, are you there?
357
00:16:56,555 --> 00:16:58,688
We're here.
358
00:16:58,690 --> 00:17:01,308
Thank you for taking time
out of your very busy schedule
359
00:17:01,310 --> 00:17:04,227
to enlighten these young women.
360
00:17:04,229 --> 00:17:06,930
It's our pleasure.
361
00:17:10,535 --> 00:17:12,903
I'm Dr. Fowler, and
I'm a neuroscientist.
362
00:17:12,905 --> 00:17:15,104
And I'm
Dr. Rostenkowski Wolowitz,
363
00:17:15,106 --> 00:17:16,706
and I'm a microbiologist.
364
00:17:16,708 --> 00:17:19,292
The world of science
needs more women,
365
00:17:19,294 --> 00:17:22,579
but from a young age, we
girls are encouraged to care
366
00:17:22,581 --> 00:17:24,214
more about the way we look
367
00:17:24,216 --> 00:17:27,551
than about the
power of our minds.
368
00:17:29,153 --> 00:17:30,787
That's true.
369
00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:32,672
Every one of you has
the capacity
370
00:17:32,674 --> 00:17:34,507
to be anything you want to be.
371
00:17:34,509 --> 00:17:37,961
Unless you want
to be Cinderella.
372
00:17:37,963 --> 00:17:39,512
Come at me.
373
00:17:39,514 --> 00:17:41,014
See what happens.
374
00:17:44,085 --> 00:17:46,469
This was really fun.
375
00:17:48,305 --> 00:17:52,108
My battery's dying,
so I'm just gonna talk.
376
00:17:52,110 --> 00:17:54,361
Thanks for today.
377
00:17:54,363 --> 00:17:56,980
I've been trying to do
more things that scare me,
378
00:17:56,982 --> 00:17:59,983
and coming here
was definitely one of them.
379
00:18:00,785 --> 00:18:02,419
But it was also really nice.
380
00:18:02,421 --> 00:18:05,422
So thanks, and, um,
381
00:18:05,424 --> 00:18:06,957
I'm gonna go.
382
00:18:11,012 --> 00:18:14,264
Maybe I could do
one more scary thing
383
00:18:14,266 --> 00:18:17,667
before I go
and give you a kiss good-bye?
384
00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:19,185
You know,
385
00:18:19,187 --> 00:18:21,271
if that's okay.
386
00:18:24,475 --> 00:18:27,277
Okay.
387
00:18:28,813 --> 00:18:30,997
Panic attack!
Maybe next time.
388
00:18:35,185 --> 00:18:37,353
I'm counting that as foreplay.
389
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:47,870
Bernie,
390
00:18:47,871 --> 00:18:50,021
I'm home.
391
00:18:50,023 --> 00:18:51,873
You have fun today?
392
00:18:51,875 --> 00:18:55,127
Yes, and I have a
surprise for you.
393
00:18:55,129 --> 00:18:58,763
Please be Cinderella.
Please be Cinderella.
394
00:18:58,765 --> 00:19:02,250
Well, hello, Prince Charming.
395
00:19:05,838 --> 00:19:08,373
Milady.
396
00:19:20,103 --> 00:19:23,188
Hey, how was your... what?
397
00:19:23,190 --> 00:19:24,773
I can explain.
398
00:19:24,775 --> 00:19:26,358
I played hooky with the girls,
399
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,577
then we all went to Disneyland
and got...
400
00:19:28,579 --> 00:19:29,828
What are you doing?
401
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:32,948
Disneyland. Go on,
I'm listening.
402
00:19:35,284 --> 00:19:41,006
Sheldon, all Snow White needs
is one little kiss to wake up.
403
00:19:41,008 --> 00:19:43,685
Heard you the first time.
404
00:19:43,785 --> 00:19:48,785
