1
00:00:04,338 --> 00:00:06,215
One dumpling left. Who wants it?

2
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:08,759
Maybe you should offer it
to the pregnant lady.

3
00:00:10,386 --> 00:00:11,929
And that would be?

4
00:00:15,099 --> 00:00:17,018
Me, Sheldon, I'm obviously pregnant.

5
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:19,061
Well, you never said it to my face,

6
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:22,440
and the last time I assumed a woman
was pregnant, it did not go over well.

7
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:24,066
Yeah, I'm still mad at you.

8
00:00:26,569 --> 00:00:28,529
You were drinking water instead of wine,

9
00:00:28,613 --> 00:00:29,655
what was I supposed to think?

10
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:34,035
Sheldon's right. I would never ask
a woman if she was pregnant

11
00:00:34,118 --> 00:00:38,331
unless she tells me, or I see
a human being wiggling out of her.

12
00:00:40,791 --> 00:00:42,126
Well, Sheldon, I'm pregnant.

13
00:00:42,293 --> 00:00:44,378
Congratulations! How far along are you?

14
00:00:44,712 --> 00:00:45,713
About three months.

15
00:00:46,005 --> 00:00:47,298
Only three?

16
00:00:49,133 --> 00:00:51,052
Good gravy,
how many babies are in there?

17
00:00:53,387 --> 00:00:56,849
Okay, let's talk about something
that won't infuriate my pregnant wife.

18
00:00:58,517 --> 00:01:00,478
I read an interesting fact
about elephants.

19
00:01:00,603 --> 00:01:01,604
Try again.

20
00:01:03,981 --> 00:01:07,151
Oh, I've got something. I'm being
interviewed on public radio this Friday.

21
00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:08,611
Oh, cool. How come?

22
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:11,364
The university's trying to get
more funding for the physics department,

23
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:13,032
so they want me to go out
and talk it up.

24
00:01:13,491 --> 00:01:14,575
Really, you?

25
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:20,248
Well, they picked the right person
for the job.

26
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:22,792
Thank you.

27
00:01:23,209 --> 00:01:24,210
I think he bought it.

28
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:29,048
(THEME SONG PLAYING)

29
00:01:52,905 --> 00:01:55,449
Hi, I'm Ira Flatow,
and this is Science Friday.

30
00:01:55,533 --> 00:01:59,120
Joining me today is my guest physicist
Doctor Leonard Hofstadter,

31
00:01:59,412 --> 00:02:02,832
to talk about all of the exciting
research they're doing at Caltech.

32
00:02:03,082 --> 00:02:05,418
Thank you for having me. Whoa.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

33
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:07,670
I never get used to hearing
myself in headphones.

34
00:02:07,753 --> 00:02:08,754
Is that really how I sound?

35
00:02:09,171 --> 00:02:10,298
(CHUCKLES)

36
00:02:10,381 --> 00:02:11,382
It is, it is.

37
00:02:12,008 --> 00:02:13,175
(HEAVY VOICE) That is good to know.

38
00:02:15,261 --> 00:02:17,513
I told him his voice was annoying,
he didn't wanna listen.

39
00:02:18,723 --> 00:02:19,724
Hey!

40
00:02:19,974 --> 00:02:21,183
What, you're saying it's not?

41
00:02:21,892 --> 00:02:23,686
Just, hey.

42
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:28,399
So it has been five years
since the discovery of the Higgs boson.

43
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,609
What's the next big thing gonna be?

44
00:02:30,943 --> 00:02:33,571
(LIGHT CHUCKLE) Wow, that's hard to say,
there's so much going on.

45
00:02:33,738 --> 00:02:35,448
We've been collecting tons of data

46
00:02:35,531 --> 00:02:37,950
that could revolutionize
the way we understand the universe.

47
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:40,870
Uh, for instance,
there's a particle called a squark,

48
00:02:41,203 --> 00:02:42,747
which could prove supersymmetry!

49
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:44,457
That is interesting. Have you found it?

50
00:02:44,749 --> 00:02:45,875
- What, the squark?
- Yes.

51
00:02:46,042 --> 00:02:47,043
No, no.

52
00:02:48,878 --> 00:02:50,629
Wouldn't that be exciting?
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

53
00:02:51,714 --> 00:02:53,758
But we're also looking for
the selectron,

54
00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:54,884
the gluino, and the neutralino.

55
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:56,427
- And have you found that?
- No.

56
00:02:58,554 --> 00:02:59,889
But, uh, fun side note,

57
00:02:59,972 --> 00:03:02,433
I went to high school
with a girl named Theresa Gluino.

58
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:05,227
But it didn't cost
two billion dollars to find her.

59
00:03:05,311 --> 00:03:07,772
She was smoking behind the gym.
(CHUCKLES)

60
00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:10,858
So, what have you found?

61
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:12,026
Um, nothing actually.

62
00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:13,736
Should he be saying that?

63
00:03:14,487 --> 00:03:15,488
Probably not.

64
00:03:15,821 --> 00:03:17,573
Yeah, this is public radio.

65
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,159
Doesn't he realize
dozens of people might hear him?

66
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:24,121
But, I remain confident.

67
00:03:24,538 --> 00:03:27,792
We've got the best equipment,
and the best minds all working on it.

68
00:03:28,209 --> 00:03:29,877
Okay, sounds like he's back on track.

69
00:03:30,211 --> 00:03:32,463
Although, some days I'm like,

70
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:34,507
"Ugh, we've spent so much money.

71
00:03:34,673 --> 00:03:37,510
Why haven't we found anything?
What are we doing?"

72
00:03:42,431 --> 00:03:43,432
Oh, boy.

73
00:03:47,603 --> 00:03:50,231
There's Leonard. I bet he's having
a rough day. (CHUCKLES)

74
00:03:50,606 --> 00:03:51,816
Let's just try to be supportive.

75
00:03:52,358 --> 00:03:53,442
Supportive?

76
00:03:53,526 --> 00:03:56,404
He publicly maligned
the love of my life, Lady Physics.

77
00:03:58,114 --> 00:04:00,282
Might not want to mention that
to Lady Fiancée.

78
00:04:02,701 --> 00:04:03,702
Hey, guys.

79
00:04:03,786 --> 00:04:04,787
- HOWARD: Hey.
- RAJESH: Hey. How's it goin'?

80
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:06,497
Pff.

81
00:04:08,207 --> 00:04:09,750
What? You got something to say?

82
00:04:10,334 --> 00:04:12,002
I think I just said it.

83
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:14,547
P.F.F.

84
00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:17,633
Pff.

85
00:04:19,844 --> 00:04:22,471
- I...
- Look, I, I was just speaking the truth.

86
00:04:22,555 --> 00:04:25,015
Yeah, we're scientists,
isn't that what we're supposed to do?

87
00:04:25,182 --> 00:04:26,767
Oh, what would you know about the truth?

88
00:04:26,851 --> 00:04:29,061
You thought Phantom Menace
was "not half bad."

89
00:04:31,397 --> 00:04:32,773
I told you that in confidence!

90
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:37,027
Okay, calm down, everybody.
Just cool it.

91
00:04:37,445 --> 00:04:40,072
No, let 'em go. If we get lucky,
maybe one of them'll start crying.

92
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:44,410
Can we just drop this
and have lunch like adults?

93
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:46,120
- Sure.
- Very well.

94
00:04:48,998 --> 00:04:49,999
- Leonard?
- What?

95
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:51,542
Pff.

96
00:04:55,463 --> 00:04:57,590
- You ready for lunch?
- Oh, one second.

97
00:04:58,674 --> 00:05:01,677
Ooh, someone's got a lot of
fancy new lab equipment.

98
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,847
I know. The university's been
throwing money at my study.

99
00:05:05,222 --> 00:05:07,391
With any luck, there'll be
a brain disease with my name on it.

100
00:05:08,893 --> 00:05:09,894
Fingers crossed.

101
00:05:10,269 --> 00:05:12,980
Which is ironic,
because if you had Fowler's Palsy,

102
00:05:13,063 --> 00:05:14,565
you wouldn't be able
to cross your fingers.

103
00:05:17,026 --> 00:05:19,904
I'm surprised Sheldon's not up here
playing with all your new toys.

104
00:05:20,362 --> 00:05:21,906
Actually, I haven't told him about it.

105
00:05:22,281 --> 00:05:24,033
We've been getting so much more funding
than physics,

106
00:05:24,116 --> 00:05:25,493
he's been a little sensitive.

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120
So you're just gonna
hide your success from him?

108
00:05:28,412 --> 00:05:30,998
(SIGHS) I know, am I terrible?

109
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:33,459
No, I do that too!

110
00:05:35,377 --> 00:05:37,630
Howie thought
my company retreat was in Boise.

111
00:05:37,922 --> 00:05:39,298
It was in Tahiti.

112
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:42,092
That's such a relief.

113
00:05:42,176 --> 00:05:44,803
I mean, part of me was worried
I was being unfair to Sheldon.

114
00:05:45,095 --> 00:05:47,014
Take that part of yourself
and hide it away.

115
00:05:47,431 --> 00:05:50,267
Just like I did with last year's
bonus check that I "didn't get."

00:05:56,315 --> 00:05:59,485
- Ms. Davis, you wanted to see me?
- Yes, Doctor Hofstadter, come on in.

118
00:06:00,611 --> 00:06:01,820
Should I sit or stand?

119
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:04,031
I'm not used to being called
into the Dean's office.

120
00:06:04,323 --> 00:06:05,407
Please sit.

121
00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:08,285
I have to say, I'm a little nervous.

122
00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:09,787
You should be.

123
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:13,165
Look, I know I screwed up.

124
00:06:13,249 --> 00:06:15,125
But it was only one interview.

125
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:17,086
How much damage could it have caused?

126
00:06:17,461 --> 00:06:19,547
Would you like for me
to read you the emails

127
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:21,924
from donors asking
why are they giving us money

128
00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:23,634
if physics is a dead end?

129
00:06:23,884 --> 00:06:25,386
I didn't say it was a dead end.

130
00:06:25,469 --> 00:06:27,388
I just said that
I was worried it might be.

131
00:06:28,389 --> 00:06:31,892
So, if I just said I was worried
you might not have a job next week,

132
00:06:32,101 --> 00:06:33,102
how would you feel?

133
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:37,523
Light-headed
and glad you asked me to sit down.

134
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:40,859
Okay, just tell me what I can do.

135
00:06:41,402 --> 00:06:44,363
I'm gonna need you to make a statement
saying that you misspoke,

136
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:46,574
and that you're confident
the physics community

137
00:06:46,657 --> 00:06:47,992
is close to a major breakthrough.

138
00:06:49,243 --> 00:06:50,244
You want me to lie?

139
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:54,373
Look, Doctor Hofstadter,
I'm counting on you.

140
00:06:54,873 --> 00:06:58,502
I think that you are the
smartest physicist at this university.

141
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,090
- Really?
- See? Lies. They're not that hard.

142
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:12,016
- Hi.
- Hello.

143
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:13,934
Oh.

00:07:14,101 --> 00:07:15,185

I figured out
the biggest problems in physics today.

149
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:27,656
Wow, you solved them all?

150
00:07:28,324 --> 00:07:30,701
No, I just... I figured out
that they're the biggest problems.

151
00:07:33,203 --> 00:07:35,247
Is this about what Leonard said
on the radio?

152
00:07:35,331 --> 00:07:36,707
Uh, absolutely not.

153
00:07:36,957 --> 00:07:38,542
And I do not want to talk about Leonard.

154
00:07:38,626 --> 00:07:40,127
Can we please
just talk about anything else?

155
00:07:40,878 --> 00:07:42,087
We could talk about my day.

156
00:07:42,338 --> 00:07:43,839
Walked right into that one, didn't I?

157
00:07:46,258 --> 00:07:48,093
Well, since you sort of asked,

158
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:49,678
I actually had a very good day.

159
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,347
I got some new equipment for my lab.

Well, congratulations.

00:07:58,395 --> 00:07:59,938
I got these markers.

They smell like fruit,

164

when I bought them.

It might help.

- What if it doesn't?
- No, that's why I brought the bottle.

they just glared at me.

all over again.

I got called into
the administration office.

175
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,437
Ooh, look at my bad boy
getting called to the principal.

176
00:08:41,814 --> 00:08:43,440
We don't technically have a principal,

177
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:45,609
there's a standing committee
that oversees the budget.

178
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:48,862
Ooh, look at my bad boy
answering questions nobody asked.

179
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:52,866
Oh, come on, look, you said
a few dumb things on the radio.

180
00:08:53,075 --> 00:08:54,326
What is the worst that could happen?

181
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:56,745
I may get fired.

182
00:08:58,455 --> 00:09:00,499
Okay, well, even if you did,
you could find another job.

183
00:09:00,791 --> 00:09:03,419
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Yeah, who wouldn't
wanna hire the physicist

184
00:09:03,502 --> 00:09:05,337
who publicly said physics is dead.

185
00:09:05,921 --> 00:09:08,006
Well, I wouldn't put that
under special skills.

186
00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:13,345
Look, I can fix it. I just need to
write a retraction I don't believe in.

187
00:09:13,429 --> 00:09:15,556
Basically sell out to keep my job.

188
00:09:16,682 --> 00:09:17,683
Great, I'll leave you to it.

189
00:09:22,938 --> 00:09:24,398
Hmm.

190
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:32,197
Hmm.

191
00:09:38,162 --> 00:09:39,329
Oy.

192
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:41,957
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

193
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,167
LEONARD: Sheldon, it's me.

194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,338
- What?
- Look, I know you're mad,

195
00:09:48,464 --> 00:09:49,673
but I have to write a statement

196
00:09:49,757 --> 00:09:51,592
that says the physics community
is close to a breakthrough.

197
00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:54,762
And since you actually believe that,
I could really use your help.

198
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:57,514
- Sorry, I can't.
- Come on, don't be like that.

199
00:09:57,806 --> 00:10:00,100
I can't, because I think you were right.

200
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:02,978
- What?
- Look, (SIGHS)

201
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:05,522
not all science pans out.

202
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:09,151
You know, we've been hoping
supersymmetry was true for decades,

203
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:11,945
and finally we built
the Large Hadron Collider,

204
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:14,406
which is supposed to prove it
by finding these new particles,

205
00:10:14,490 --> 00:10:15,574
but it hasn't.

206
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:19,161
Maybe supersymmetry,
our last big idea, is simply wrong.

207
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:22,289
That sounds awful.

208
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:25,709
Now I get why everyone hates me.

209
00:10:27,586 --> 00:10:28,712
On the bright side,

210
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:30,672
after working together for 15 years,

211
00:10:30,756 --> 00:10:32,758
you finally get to hear me say
you were right.

212
00:10:36,011 --> 00:10:37,262
Yeah, you did.

213
00:10:38,764 --> 00:10:39,848
How's it feel?

214
00:10:41,058 --> 00:10:42,768
Given I might be unemployed,
bittersweet.

215
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:50,526
Read it back to me.

216
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:51,652
Hang on.

217
00:10:51,777 --> 00:10:54,655
(SIGHS) "Yes, one might question
the 20 billion dollars

218
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:56,490
"to build and run
the Large Hadron Collider,

219
00:10:56,615 --> 00:10:58,116
"but on the other hand..."

220
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:05,207
Okay, um...

221
00:11:05,541 --> 00:11:08,836
Oh, oh! On the other hand,
contrary to predictions,

222
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:11,922
the Collider didn't create
a small black hole

223
00:11:12,047 --> 00:11:13,882
that devoured the Earth
and life as we know it.

224
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:16,134
So, (STUTTERS) money well spent.

225
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:21,265
This is depressing.

226
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:22,850
Do you have any alcohol around here?

227
00:11:23,225 --> 00:11:26,478
Oh, not surprisingly, when Penny
moved out, she took every last drop.

228
00:11:27,688 --> 00:11:31,066
Oh, but I do have several bottles
of Romulan Ale

229
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:32,651
that I bought at Comic-Con.

230
00:11:35,529 --> 00:11:37,573
Isn't that just vodka
with blue dye in it?

231
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,575
First physics, now Romulan Ale.

232
00:11:39,867 --> 00:11:41,201
What else would you like to defecate on?

233
00:11:44,288 --> 00:11:45,706
Hey, I thought you were
coming right back.

234
00:11:45,831 --> 00:11:47,624
I was, but we're both depressed

235
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:49,418
and decided to drown our sorrows.

236
00:11:50,669 --> 00:11:51,712
In mouthwash?

237
00:11:54,756 --> 00:11:56,425
Man, that is so summer camp.

238
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,470
It's Romulan Ale from Star Trek.

239
00:12:00,846 --> 00:12:02,848
It was briefly legalized
during the alliance

240
00:12:02,931 --> 00:12:04,099
between the Romulan Empire

241
00:12:04,182 --> 00:12:06,143
and the Federation at the time
of the Dominion War.

242
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:08,353
Aw, now I'm depressed.

243
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:14,443
The more I told him about my lab,
the pissier he got.

244
00:12:14,776 --> 00:12:15,777
You know what he said to me?

245
00:12:16,194 --> 00:12:19,323
He said, "I hope all your correlations
turn out to be specious."

246
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,160
He said that to your face?

247
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:24,494
What a dick.

248
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:30,042
You know, you're a successful woman,

249
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:32,836
you should be able to brag about
your accomplishments once in a while.

250
00:12:33,378 --> 00:12:34,588
And so should you.

251
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:36,381
I mean, the guys are never shy
about bragging.

252
00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:37,758
Tell me about it.

253
00:12:37,841 --> 00:12:41,094
Howie texts me every time
his dog levels up in Warcraft.

254
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:46,058
Has he ever called you to tell you
he found three peanuts in one shell?

255
00:12:46,183 --> 00:12:47,601
'Cause Sheldon has.

256
00:12:49,186 --> 00:12:50,771
We should be able to do that, too.

257
00:12:51,730 --> 00:12:53,231
I guess we can brag to each other.

258
00:12:53,941 --> 00:12:54,983
That's a great idea.

259
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:56,860
Damn right it is. I came up with it.

260
00:12:58,236 --> 00:12:59,571
(CHUCKLES)

261
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:02,032
That felt good! (CHUCKLES)

262
00:13:05,786 --> 00:13:07,746
You know, there's so much money
in pharmaceuticals,

263
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,581
we don't even wash out our test tubes.

264
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,084
We just throw 'em out and get new ones.

265
00:13:13,961 --> 00:13:17,172
I just got a brand-new,
state-of-the-art FMRI machine.

266
00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:19,883
- Those things are so expensive.
- I know.

267
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:22,636
Sometimes I just lie down in there
and take a nap.

268
00:13:25,222 --> 00:13:26,765
It's like a million dollar bunk bed.

269
00:13:29,393 --> 00:13:31,395
At the office, I have two assistants.

270
00:13:31,603 --> 00:13:34,106
I don't even know their names.
I just call 'em Thing One and Thing Two.

271
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:38,527
That's great. I don't have assistants.

272
00:13:39,695 --> 00:13:42,239
I guess that's one of the benefits
of being in the private sector.

273
00:13:42,781 --> 00:13:44,324
That and all the money I make.

274
00:13:45,742 --> 00:13:47,202
Yeah, you've got that.

275
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,997
I've got my integrity,
hard to say which is better

276
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,206
without making you feel bad.

277
00:13:55,419 --> 00:13:57,004
Okay, so you guys are upset

278
00:13:57,087 --> 00:13:59,756
because the Collider thing
disproved your theories?

279
00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:01,133
I-it's worse than that.

280
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:02,884
It hasn't found anything in years,

281
00:14:02,968 --> 00:14:04,970
so we don't know if we're right,
we don't know if we're wrong,

282
00:14:05,053 --> 00:14:06,346
we don't know where to go next.

283
00:14:06,847 --> 00:14:09,850
All I know is it looks like
I tongue-kissed Avatar.

284
00:14:12,728 --> 00:14:15,147
Come on, you guys are physicists, okay?

285
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:16,982
You're always gonna be physicists,

286
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:19,526
and sure, sometimes the physics is hard.

287
00:14:19,818 --> 00:14:22,237
But isn't that what makes it boring?

288
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:26,241
- RAJESH: Hey.
- We're here. (SIGHS)

289
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,869
- HOWARD: What's going on?
- Okay. As far as I can see,

290
00:14:29,327 --> 00:14:31,371
science is dead
'cause Leonard killed it.

291
00:14:31,872 --> 00:14:33,957
And I don't know who the Romulans are,

292
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:35,250
but those guys know how to party.

293
00:14:37,294 --> 00:14:38,295
So, what do you want us to do?

294
00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:40,047
I don't know. You're scientists,
cheer them up!

295
00:14:40,672 --> 00:14:43,467
Cheer them up?
Do you even know what a scientist is?

296
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:47,387
No, we don't need to be cheered up.

297
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:50,098
It just turns out that
physics is exactly like Lost.

298
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:52,768
Started out great, and turns out
just a big ol' waste of time.

299
00:14:54,895 --> 00:14:57,314
Boo-hoo. You know what
you sound like? Babies.

300
00:14:57,606 --> 00:14:59,441
Two whiny babies.

301
00:14:59,858 --> 00:15:02,903
There's nothing worse than
being stuck with two whiny babies!

302
00:15:05,489 --> 00:15:06,656
Oh.

303
00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:20,337
Oh, my God. I'm gonna have two babies.

304
00:15:20,837 --> 00:15:23,256
No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Babies are great.

305
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:24,549
You're lucky to have two babies.

306
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,011
I mean look at me, uh, I'm all alone.
I'm never gonna have babies

307
00:15:28,136 --> 00:15:31,723
'cause you can't make a baby
watching Netflix with your dog.

308
00:15:37,521 --> 00:15:38,647
Thanks for coming.

309
00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:43,693
I may not make as much money as you,

310
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:45,487
but at least I know that
I'm actually doing something

311
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:47,072
that makes people's lives better.

312
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:50,075
Hey, my work makes
people's lives better,

313
00:15:50,534 --> 00:15:52,911
especially if you have moderate
to severe eczema

314
00:15:52,994 --> 00:15:54,412
and don't mind a few loose teeth.

315
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:59,334
You're right, we both do important work.

316
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:01,294
I'm trying to map the structures
of the brain,

317
00:16:01,378 --> 00:16:04,548
and you're trying to convince people
that itchy hair is a real thing.

318
00:16:05,966 --> 00:16:07,759
It is a real thing!

319
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:11,221
It happens to be a side effect
of our cholesterol drug.

320
00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:17,644
I'm just saying that my research
may actually change the world forever.

321
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:19,479
I hope it does,

322
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:21,690
'cause I'm gonna see that world
from a yacht so big

323
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:23,441
you can land a helicopter on it.

324
00:16:30,198 --> 00:16:32,033
Physics is all we're cut out for.

325
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:35,537
I mean, if we weren't physicists,
what would we be?

326
00:16:36,371 --> 00:16:38,582
I don't know, popular? (CHUCKLES)

327
00:16:39,207 --> 00:16:40,458
RAJESH: Mm-hmm.

328
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:43,795
It's fine, I don't need to be
a theoretical physicist.

329
00:16:44,171 --> 00:16:46,339
There's lots of things
I could use this brain for.

330
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:49,759
I could be an accountant for the mob.

331
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:54,347
I could guess people's weight
at the fair.

332
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:57,684
Okay, this is getting silly.

333
00:16:58,185 --> 00:16:59,186
Is it?

334
00:16:59,811 --> 00:17:00,812
One-eighty.

335
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:06,276
Okay, that is enough!

336
00:17:06,568 --> 00:17:08,195
Your lives are not wasted,

337
00:17:08,278 --> 00:17:09,905
your careers are not at a dead end.

338
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:11,615
You just hit a rough patch.

339
00:17:11,823 --> 00:17:14,743
Instead of feeling sorry for yourselves,
you need to get up and get inspired.

340
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:16,620
- How?
- I don't know!

341
00:17:16,745 --> 00:17:18,413
You know, when I'm feeling down,
I go for a run.

342
00:17:18,538 --> 00:17:21,374
Which is exactly why I'm not
180 pounds, genius!

343
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:25,045
I know where we need to go.

344
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:28,256
Um, are we running there?
Because watching drunk Sheldon run

345
00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:29,674
would be the highlight of my life.

(RAJESH CHUCKLES)

347
00:17:31,593 --> 00:17:33,053
We're going to see Richard Feynman.

348
00:17:33,803 --> 00:17:35,805
Penny, Richard Feynman
is an iconic physicist...

349
00:17:35,889 --> 00:17:38,975
I know who he is. Leonard dressed as him
for Halloween last year.

350
00:17:43,855 --> 00:17:46,107
I had no idea Richard Feynman was dead.

351
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:47,817
Yeah, most people don't know

352
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:50,946
he's actually buried
right here in Altadena.

353
00:17:51,363 --> 00:17:54,574
I'm sure they keep a lid on that
to avoid traffic jams.

354
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:59,412
Well, (CHUCKLES) here he is. (SNIFFLES)

355
00:17:59,621 --> 00:18:01,623
Oh, wow, he's buried with his wife.

356
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,626
We get it, a lady loved you.
Quit bragging!

357
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:08,546
Feynman was so cool.

358
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:11,925
When I was a kid,
I'd put on some headphones

359
00:18:12,259 --> 00:18:14,177
and crank up one of his lectures

360
00:18:15,303 --> 00:18:16,471
and just jam out to knowledge.

361
00:18:18,556 --> 00:18:19,933
This guy knew how to live.

362
00:18:20,475 --> 00:18:22,560
Taught himself musical instruments,

363
00:18:22,852 --> 00:18:26,106
studied Portuguese
just to give a speech in Brazil.

364
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:29,651
The only part of me
that's been to Brazil is my bikini line.

365
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:32,153
Okay.

366
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:36,116
He did so much,

367
00:18:36,658 --> 00:18:39,286
and here we are stuck
and letting him down.

368
00:18:40,036 --> 00:18:42,706
You know, Feynman used to say
he didn't do physics

369
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:44,791
for the glory or the awards,

370
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:46,793
but just for the fun of it.

371
00:18:48,545 --> 00:18:49,671
He's right.

372
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:53,633
Physics is only dead
when we stop being excited about it.

373
00:18:55,051 --> 00:18:57,929
Even beyond the grave,
he's imparting wisdom.

374
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,557
Um, I'm the one who remembered it.

375
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:05,061
Give me the bottle.
It might be a little corny,

376
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:06,855
but I say we pour one out

377
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:10,191
for all the science homies
who came before us.

378
00:19:10,358 --> 00:19:11,651
- I love that.
- LEONARD: Do it.

Hi. You wanted to see me?

384
00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:38,011
Yes, I wanted to talk to you about
the email you sent me last night.

385
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:40,180
I sent you an email?

386
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:43,558
You bet you did.
