1
00:00:02,528 --> 00:00:04,494
Have you guys heard
about this research team
2
00:00:04,496 --> 00:00:07,697
that's trying to transgenically
manipulate chicken DNA
3
00:00:07,699 --> 00:00:10,033
to create some sort
of chicken dinosaur?
4
00:00:10,035 --> 00:00:13,036
Oh, I think that
sounds wonderful.
5
00:00:14,373 --> 00:00:18,041
What? You're afraid
of both dinosaurs and chickens.
6
00:00:18,043 --> 00:00:19,043
Yes, but tell me
7
00:00:19,044 --> 00:00:21,244
a dinosaur
chicken salad sandwich
8
00:00:21,246 --> 00:00:22,946
wouldn't hit the Mesozoic spot.
9
00:00:26,385 --> 00:00:27,651
Hey, guys.
Hey. Hello.
10
00:00:27,653 --> 00:00:29,186
We still on for
tomorrow night?
11
00:00:29,188 --> 00:00:31,254
Yeah. I'm excited
to finally meet your girlfriend.
12
00:00:31,256 --> 00:00:33,390
Yeah, oh, and
speaking of which.
13
00:00:33,392 --> 00:00:36,159
According to a recent study
out of Oxford University,
14
00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:37,427
when someone takes on
15
00:00:37,429 --> 00:00:39,262
a new romantic
partner,
16
00:00:39,264 --> 00:00:42,132
that person loses one
or two close friends.
17
00:00:42,134 --> 00:00:44,901
Since when do you read
social science?
18
00:00:44,903 --> 00:00:47,871
I go to the bathroom
like everybody else.
19
00:00:47,873 --> 00:00:49,239
Why would I lose friends
20
00:00:49,241 --> 00:00:51,141
just because I
started dating someone?
21
00:00:51,143 --> 00:00:53,176
Yeah, you didn't lose anyone
when you met Amy.
22
00:00:53,178 --> 00:00:56,379
Yeah, well, no, the study
refers to romantic partners.
23
00:00:56,381 --> 00:00:59,616
Not the way I would
categorize the two of us.
24
00:00:59,618 --> 00:01:01,218
You guys kiss and hold hands.
25
00:01:01,220 --> 00:01:03,653
I've seen him do it.
It's not romantic.
26
00:01:03,655 --> 00:01:05,855
Look, I'm not the kind of guy
27
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:08,658
who drops his friends just
because he's in a relationship.
28
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:10,327
What happens
if she doesn't like us?
29
00:01:10,329 --> 00:01:11,695
Well, hey,
you're my dear friends.
30
00:01:11,697 --> 00:01:14,064
You'll get a Christmas card
for a couple of years,
31
00:01:14,066 --> 00:01:15,632

@elder_man
42
00:01:46,768 --> 00:01:50,036
So, Howard, is Stuart still
living with your mom?
43
00:01:50,038 --> 00:01:51,837
I don't want
to talk about it.
44
00:01:51,839 --> 00:01:54,240
But he's going to.
My mom got him cable!
45
00:01:54,242 --> 00:01:56,375
In my whole life,
46
00:01:56,377 --> 00:01:58,144
growing up
in that house-- no cable.
47
00:01:58,146 --> 00:01:59,579
Do you know how many HBOs
48
00:01:59,581 --> 00:02:01,581
that leech had my mother
get him? Seven.
49
00:02:01,583 --> 00:02:03,916
Seven HBOs. Seven!
50
00:02:03,918 --> 00:02:07,663
Long story short,
they have seven HBOs.
51
00:02:07,665 --> 00:02:08,964
Hey, guys.
52
00:02:08,966 --> 00:02:10,866
Hey.
Hello. Hey.
53
00:02:10,868 --> 00:02:12,901
Emily, you know almost everybody here.
Hi.
54
00:02:12,903 --> 00:02:14,703
This is Leonard,
this is Penny.
55
00:02:14,705 --> 00:02:16,038
Oh, it's so nice
to meet you.
56
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,773
Nice to finally meet you, too.
Hi.
57
00:02:17,775 --> 00:02:18,907
Hello.
58
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:21,376
Well, Raj,
you were not lying about her.
59
00:02:21,378 --> 00:02:24,179
I told you
she exists.
60
00:02:24,181 --> 00:02:26,214
Hey, I hear you're
a dermatologist.
61
00:02:26,216 --> 00:02:29,217
Uh, yeah, I'm a resident
at Huntington Hospital.
62
00:02:29,219 --> 00:02:31,753
Oh, I like their
emergency room.
63
00:02:31,755 --> 00:02:34,623
Yeah, even if it turns out
you don't have Dengue fever,
64
00:02:34,625 --> 00:02:37,025
they still let you
take a lollipop.
65
00:02:38,095 --> 00:02:39,761
You know, Penny
just started training
66
00:02:39,763 --> 00:02:41,496
to be a pharmaceutical
sales rep.
67
00:02:41,498 --> 00:02:43,665
Maybe she can practice
on you some time.
68
00:02:43,667 --> 00:02:46,368
Oh, it would be great
to practice on a real doctor.
69
00:02:46,370 --> 00:02:48,537
Yeah. I'm sure that'd be fine.
70
00:02:48,539 --> 00:02:52,240
I have some odd
freckles on my buttocks.
71
00:02:54,044 --> 00:02:57,713
Can I make an appointment
for you to look at them?
72
00:02:57,715 --> 00:03:00,182
Um... okay, I guess.
73
00:03:00,184 --> 00:03:03,018
I'm with him three
years, nothing.
74
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:06,421
She's with two minutes, and
he's taking his pants off.
75
00:03:10,894 --> 00:03:13,495
Last night was fun.
What did you think of Emily?
76
00:03:13,497 --> 00:03:14,830
I don't know.
77
00:03:14,832 --> 00:03:16,999
I kind of got the sense
she didn't like me.
78
00:03:17,001 --> 00:03:18,767
Did she say she didn't like you?
79
00:03:18,769 --> 00:03:19,901
Of course not. No one ever says
80
00:03:19,903 --> 00:03:21,436
they don't like you
straight to your face.
81
00:03:21,438 --> 00:03:25,307
We have led different lives.
82
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:29,544
You guys just met.
Why would she feel that way?
83
00:03:29,546 --> 00:03:31,013
It's just this
vibe I got.
84
00:03:31,015 --> 00:03:32,995
I'm sure you're worried
about nothing.
85
00:03:32,996 --> 00:03:34,416
Yeah.
You're probably right.
86
00:03:34,418 --> 00:03:35,784
I used to think
my high school P.E. teacher
87
00:03:35,786 --> 00:03:37,019
didn't like me,
but it turned out,
88
00:03:37,021 --> 00:03:39,187
she liked me a little too much.
89
00:03:39,189 --> 00:03:40,455
Really?
Yeah.
90
00:03:40,457 --> 00:03:41,690
It was fine.
91
00:03:41,692 --> 00:03:43,558
We went to a Melissa Etheridge
concert, I got an A,
92
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,227
it all worked out.
93
00:03:45,229 --> 00:03:48,563
When you go to Emily's office to
practice, you'll see. It's fine.
94
00:03:48,565 --> 00:03:50,265
Yeah, I hope you're right.
95
00:03:50,267 --> 00:03:52,234
You really went your entire life
96
00:03:52,236 --> 00:03:55,871
without anyone saying
“I hate you” to your face?
97
00:03:55,873 --> 00:03:57,439
Yeah.
98
00:03:57,441 --> 00:04:01,443
I'd say it now,
but look at those cheekbones.
99
00:04:08,185 --> 00:04:10,185
I miss
Stuart's place.
100
00:04:10,187 --> 00:04:13,855
All this loud music
and exposed brick.
101
00:04:13,857 --> 00:04:16,124
What, is this
a comic book store,
102
00:04:16,126 --> 00:04:19,628
or a rave at the third
little pig's house?
103
00:04:20,698 --> 00:04:22,898
Yup, I wish
Stuart would reopen.
104
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:24,900
I hate this place, too.
105
00:04:24,902 --> 00:04:26,702
Okay, him I believe
106
00:04:26,704 --> 00:04:29,871
because he's an 80-year-old man
in a 15-year-old's T-shirt.
107
00:04:29,873 --> 00:04:31,640
But you're just upset
108
00:04:31,642 --> 00:04:35,043
about Stuart and your mom
and all their HBOs.
109
00:04:35,045 --> 00:04:38,547
Yes, I am. You know, I can't
even watch Game of Thrones now
110
00:04:38,549 --> 00:04:40,215
without thinking
of mother saying,
111
00:04:40,217 --> 00:04:43,385
“Stuart, which one is Thrones?”
112
00:04:44,221 --> 00:04:46,221
You know, he might not reopen.
113
00:04:46,223 --> 00:04:49,057
He didn't get a lot of money
from the insurance company.
114
00:04:49,059 --> 00:04:51,717
Oh, boy, if there is one thing
that gets my goat,
115
00:04:51,719 --> 00:04:55,020
those dad-gum
insurance companies.
116
00:04:55,022 --> 00:04:57,623
Why? Because they won't
get off your lawn?
117
00:05:00,828 --> 00:05:05,564
Oh, is Stuart trying to get a
loan, or-or find investors?
118
00:05:05,566 --> 00:05:07,599
All I know is,
he's got my mother
119
00:05:07,601 --> 00:05:10,669
buying four-ply toilet paper.
I mean, four-ply.
120
00:05:11,705 --> 00:05:13,105
If his butt is so delicate,
121
00:05:13,107 --> 00:05:15,474
why doesn't he just use
an angora rabbit?
122
00:05:16,477 --> 00:05:19,544
For starters,
they shed and bite.
123
00:05:20,347 --> 00:05:22,180
Hey,
124
00:05:22,182 --> 00:05:23,649
here's a thought.
125
00:05:23,651 --> 00:05:26,151
Why don't we put up the rest
of the money that Stuart needs?
126
00:05:27,221 --> 00:05:30,789
So, we'd be, like, owners
of a comic book store?
127
00:05:32,359 --> 00:05:34,192
It's kind of a
dream come true.
128
00:05:34,194 --> 00:05:35,694
That does sound fun.
129
00:05:35,696 --> 00:05:37,229
Ooh, maybe we could come up
130
00:05:37,231 --> 00:05:39,731
with a business plan
to compete with this place.
131
00:05:39,733 --> 00:05:41,600
I'll give you a plan right now.
132
00:05:41,602 --> 00:05:44,102
Step one:
open comic book store.
133
00:05:44,104 --> 00:05:45,570
Step two: start rumor
134
00:05:45,572 --> 00:05:48,874
this comic book store
gives you genital warts.
135
00:05:50,511 --> 00:05:54,680
Step three: buy a big bag
to put the money in.
136
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:59,051
It's not that bad.
137
00:06:03,123 --> 00:06:06,425
Hey.
Hi.
138
00:06:06,427 --> 00:06:09,299
Thank you so much for letting me
practice my sales pitch on you.
139
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:10,300
I really appreciate it.
140
00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:11,121
Sure.
141
00:06:11,145 --> 00:06:12,273
Um, I brought coffee.
142
00:06:12,274 --> 00:06:13,807
I wasn't sure what you like,
so I got
143
00:06:13,809 --> 00:06:16,043
a regular, a cappuccino
and a Chai tea.
144
00:06:16,045 --> 00:06:19,179
Since you like Raj, I thought
you might be into that.
145
00:06:19,181 --> 00:06:22,482
Thanks. If we could get started.
I'm a little busy.
146
00:06:22,484 --> 00:06:25,252
Oh, yeah, sure. Let me
just get out my materials.
147
00:06:25,254 --> 00:06:26,753
Leonard gave me this briefcase.
148
00:06:26,755 --> 00:06:28,422
He used to carry it
around in high school.
149
00:06:28,424 --> 00:06:31,758
You can still see the dent
where they whacked him with it.
150
00:06:33,929 --> 00:06:36,029
Okay, I would like
to talk to you
151
00:06:36,031 --> 00:06:38,298
about our new
birth control pill, Femevra.
152
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:39,633
Great.
153
00:06:39,635 --> 00:06:41,668
So, Femevra's
triphasic design
154
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:43,804
provides balanced
hormonal exposure.
155
00:06:43,806 --> 00:06:45,639
All right.
156
00:06:45,641 --> 00:06:48,408
It has also been shown to cause
157
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:51,445
significantly fewer side effects
than other oral contraceptives.
158
00:06:51,447 --> 00:06:54,314
Although it can cause acne,
which, if you ask me, kind of
159
00:06:54,316 --> 00:06:57,084
increases its effectiveness
as a contraceptive.
160
00:07:00,990 --> 00:07:02,656
Funny.
161
00:07:04,159 --> 00:07:06,960
Okay, I'm sorry. Did we get off
on the wrong foot?
162
00:07:06,962 --> 00:07:08,829
Because since the other
night, I kind of feel like
163
00:07:08,831 --> 00:07:10,364
you might have a problem
with me.
164
00:07:10,366 --> 00:07:11,732
No, it's fine.
165
00:07:11,734 --> 00:07:14,301
Are you sure,
because it doesn't seem fine?
166
00:07:14,303 --> 00:07:16,536
Okay.
167
00:07:16,538 --> 00:07:18,338
If you really want
to talk about this,
168
00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:19,640
I do have a problem.
169
00:07:19,642 --> 00:07:21,908
Oh, my God.
Tell me-- what did I do?
170
00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:23,276
Look, it's nothing. It's just...
171
00:07:23,278 --> 00:07:25,912
Raj told me that a while ago,
you two hooked up.
172
00:07:25,914 --> 00:07:30,183
What?! Oh, why
would he say that?
173
00:07:30,185 --> 00:07:31,685
Did it not happen?
174
00:07:31,687 --> 00:07:34,454
Well, I wouldn't exactly
call it a hook-up.
175
00:07:34,456 --> 00:07:35,555
Did you kiss?
176
00:07:35,557 --> 00:07:37,524
Yeah.
177
00:07:37,526 --> 00:07:38,526
Were you naked?
178
00:07:38,527 --> 00:07:40,927
Yeah.
179
00:07:40,929 --> 00:07:42,729
So, it was a hook-up.
180
00:07:42,731 --> 00:07:44,698
No.
181
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:46,900
Yeah.
182
00:07:49,004 --> 00:07:52,673
So, what are some ways we
could set our comic book store
183
00:07:52,675 --> 00:07:54,341
apart from the
competition?
184
00:07:54,343 --> 00:07:56,076
Oh, kids buy comic books.
It would be great
185
00:07:56,078 --> 00:07:58,178
to figure out a way
to get more kids in the store.
186
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:00,180
You know, when I was a
kid, I loved going there,
187
00:08:00,182 --> 00:08:02,182
but I could
never get a ride.
188
00:08:02,184 --> 00:08:06,186
Ooh, what if we got a van and
drove around and picked kids up?
189
00:08:10,359 --> 00:08:12,392
Nice.
190
00:08:13,595 --> 00:08:16,830
You mean,
like at parks and schools?
191
00:08:17,499 --> 00:08:20,367
Toy stores,
puppet shows.
192
00:08:20,369 --> 00:08:24,504
Hold on. So, your idea is
to get a van
193
00:08:24,506 --> 00:08:27,941
and cruise the streets looking
for kids to pick up?
194
00:08:29,478 --> 00:08:31,845
Yes.
195
00:08:32,981 --> 00:08:36,717
And are you gonna use candy
to lure them in?
196
00:08:37,586 --> 00:08:40,120
We are now!
197
00:08:42,124 --> 00:08:44,391
You told Emily
we hooked up?!
198
00:08:44,393 --> 00:08:47,761
Um, well, in my defense,
I tell everybody.
199
00:08:47,763 --> 00:08:49,162
Why would you say that?!
200
00:08:49,164 --> 00:08:51,465
We were having a conversation
about past lovers.
201
00:08:51,467 --> 00:08:52,599
We weren't lovers! Come on.
202
00:08:52,601 --> 00:08:53,867
Everyone knows
we didn't sleep together.
203
00:08:53,869 --> 00:08:55,168
We got drunk
and fooled around.
204
00:08:55,170 --> 00:08:56,937
Why couldn't you just
leave me out of it?
205
00:08:56,939 --> 00:08:58,071
Well, we were being honest.
206
00:08:58,073 --> 00:08:59,840
You would leave me
out of the conversation
207
00:08:59,842 --> 00:09:01,708
with the next guy
if you dump Leonard?
208
00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:04,878
Why say it?
Yes!
209
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,247
Well, I would never
leave you off my list,
210
00:09:07,249 --> 00:09:08,882
and not just
211
00:09:08,884 --> 00:09:10,183
because, without you,
212
00:09:10,185 --> 00:09:12,619
we're playing fast and loose
with the word “list.”
213
00:09:12,621 --> 00:09:14,654
Well, good job.
Now she hates me.
214
00:09:14,656 --> 00:09:16,823
Oh.
215
00:09:16,825 --> 00:09:19,092
Great.
216
00:09:19,094 --> 00:09:21,595
On the bright side,
that Oxford study was right.
217
00:09:21,597 --> 00:09:23,663
One friend down.
218
00:09:24,867 --> 00:09:28,935
I wonder who you're going
to lose next.
219
00:09:28,937 --> 00:09:31,338
You, okay? It's you.
You're-you're next!
220
00:09:33,208 --> 00:09:36,109
No. You're crazy about me.
221
00:09:40,581 --> 00:09:42,682
I feel pretty....oh so pretty.
222
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:47,044
I don't know what Emily's
so upset about anyway.
223
00:09:47,046 --> 00:09:49,980
Even if I had slept with him,
so what? Everyone has a past.
224
00:09:50,783 --> 00:09:53,450
Almost everyone has a past.
225
00:09:53,452 --> 00:09:54,885
Come on, look
how pretty you are.
226
00:09:54,887 --> 00:09:56,987
I'm sure this isn't
the first girl to hate you.
227
00:09:56,989 --> 00:09:59,590
It's not.
228
00:09:59,592 --> 00:10:02,226
And I'm sure
you can turn it around.
229
00:10:02,228 --> 00:10:04,528
How? You can't force someone
to like you.
230
00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:05,596
What if you just
231
00:10:05,598 --> 00:10:07,264
hang around and act
like her friend
232
00:10:07,266 --> 00:10:09,833
until you wear her down?
I mean, next thing you know,
233
00:10:09,835 --> 00:10:11,190
you're in her home,
you're eating her food,
234
00:10:11,214 --> 00:10:12,285
drinking her wine.
235
00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:16,807
No, that won't work.
236
00:10:16,809 --> 00:10:19,143
You're right. Cheers.
237
00:10:19,145 --> 00:10:20,411
Oh, I know.
238
00:10:20,413 --> 00:10:22,379
Why don't you use
your sales training
239
00:10:22,381 --> 00:10:24,615
to go back down there
and sell yourself?
240
00:10:24,617 --> 00:10:26,016
What?
Yeah.
241
00:10:26,018 --> 00:10:27,585
But instead of selling a drug,
242
00:10:27,587 --> 00:10:29,386
you'd be selling Penny--
it's cute.
243
00:10:29,388 --> 00:10:30,421
It's stupid.
244
00:10:30,423 --> 00:10:32,623
Well, maybe people
would like you more
245
00:10:32,625 --> 00:10:35,392
if you didn't crap
all over their ideas.
246
00:10:35,394 --> 00:10:37,995
I'm gonna go with
Penny on this one.
247
00:10:37,997 --> 00:10:41,632
Then again, why wouldn't I?
I mean, we go way back.
248
00:10:41,634 --> 00:10:44,668
Oh, my God.
I didn't used to like you.
249
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:47,871
Shh. Amy's here now.
250
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:53,210
You know, the more
I think about it,
251
00:10:53,212 --> 00:10:56,847
the more intrigued I am
about having our own store.
252
00:10:56,849 --> 00:10:58,849
We'll get to see
all the new stuff
253
00:10:58,851 --> 00:11:00,484
before it hits the shelves.
254
00:11:00,486 --> 00:11:02,386
And we'll get to have
fun interactions
255
00:11:02,388 --> 00:11:03,554
with our customers.
256
00:11:03,556 --> 00:11:07,191
“This isn't a library--
buy it or get out.”
257
00:11:07,193 --> 00:11:10,160
You say things like that
all the time.
258
00:11:10,162 --> 00:11:12,429
Yes, but as a store owner,
I'll finally have a good comeback
259
00:11:12,431 --> 00:11:14,898
to, “You don't work here--
shut up.”
260
00:11:16,235 --> 00:11:18,569
Uh, do you know how Penny
told Raj he should have
261
00:11:18,571 --> 00:11:20,404
left her off his list?
Yeah.
262
00:11:20,406 --> 00:11:22,906
Well, do you think when she
and I had that conversation,
263
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:24,408
she left people off her list?
264
00:11:24,410 --> 00:11:25,743
I'm sure she did.
265
00:11:25,745 --> 00:11:27,778
Why?
266
00:11:27,780 --> 00:11:29,513
Because if she hadn't,
267
00:11:29,515 --> 00:11:33,217
she'd still be wading
through the list.
268
00:11:33,219 --> 00:11:34,918
Will you stay out of this?
269
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,588
If only Penny
had said that once in a while.
270
00:11:39,692 --> 00:11:41,191
Hey, what difference
does it make?
271
00:11:41,193 --> 00:11:43,027
You're the one
she wants to marry.
272
00:11:43,029 --> 00:11:44,762
That's true.
Yeah, and I'm not sure
273
00:11:44,764 --> 00:11:47,731
that complete honesty
is always the best thing
274
00:11:47,733 --> 00:11:49,566
for a relationship.
275
00:11:49,568 --> 00:11:52,603
Yeah, he's right.
Once, in a moment of candor,
276
00:11:52,605 --> 00:11:55,439
I told Amy
that her hair reminded me
277
00:11:55,441 --> 00:11:58,609
of a duck caught
in an oil spill. Well...
278
00:11:58,611 --> 00:12:00,477
she stormed out.
279
00:12:00,479 --> 00:12:03,147
Which was sad, because
we were playing Scrabble,
280
00:12:03,149 --> 00:12:07,551
and I had all the letters
to spell “persimmon.”
281
00:12:10,690 --> 00:12:13,057
Why are you even part
of this conversation?
282
00:12:13,059 --> 00:12:14,925
You don't know
anything about women.
283
00:12:14,927 --> 00:12:17,628
I know that if I had
a wife or a fiancée,
284
00:12:17,630 --> 00:12:19,697
I'd ask her first
before I invested money
285
00:12:19,699 --> 00:12:21,532
in a comic book store.
286
00:12:21,534 --> 00:12:23,267
He's right.
287
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:24,335
Yeah, well,
288
00:12:24,337 --> 00:12:25,602
of course I am.
289
00:12:25,604 --> 00:12:27,037
I was also right about her hair.
290
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,106
It did everything but quack.
291
00:12:32,278 --> 00:12:34,511
There's something
I wanted to run past you.
292
00:12:34,513 --> 00:12:36,680
What's up?
Mm, the guys and I
293
00:12:36,682 --> 00:12:39,450
were thinking about investing
in Stuart's comic book store.
294
00:12:39,452 --> 00:12:41,985
Is that okay?
Why are you asking me?
295
00:12:41,987 --> 00:12:43,821
Well, you know,
we're engaged,
296
00:12:43,823 --> 00:12:46,323
and it's kind of
a big deal financially.
297
00:12:46,325 --> 00:12:48,625
It seems like something
we should talk about.
298
00:12:48,627 --> 00:12:49,893
Oh.
299
00:12:49,895 --> 00:12:52,329
Well, would you consider
mounds of credit card debt
300
00:12:52,331 --> 00:12:54,865
kind of a big deal
financially?
301
00:12:56,836 --> 00:12:58,869
Yeah.
302
00:12:58,871 --> 00:13:00,471
Huh.
303
00:13:02,641 --> 00:13:05,743
Mm. So, me and the guys
were talking about
304
00:13:05,745 --> 00:13:07,711
this great
investment opportunity...
305
00:13:07,713 --> 00:13:09,713
Nope.
306
00:13:09,715 --> 00:13:12,449
But you didn't hear what it was.
307
00:13:12,451 --> 00:13:15,219
I know.
308
00:13:16,088 --> 00:13:17,988
Oh, come on.
309
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:19,456
Fine. What is it?
310
00:13:19,458 --> 00:13:21,558
It's to help reopen
the comic book store.
311
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,327
Nope.
312
00:13:23,329 --> 00:13:25,429
Well, hear me out.
313
00:13:25,431 --> 00:13:27,631
Howard, you know
we're saving up for a house.
314
00:13:27,633 --> 00:13:29,967
I know, but all the guys
are doing it.
315
00:13:29,969 --> 00:13:32,870
We're splitting it four ways, so
it's really not that much money.
316
00:13:32,872 --> 00:13:35,639
It just seems
like a risky investment.
317
00:13:35,641 --> 00:13:38,342
I get that. I...
318
00:13:39,245 --> 00:13:41,845
Okay, look...
319
00:13:43,382 --> 00:13:48,218
The reason this is important
is...
320
00:13:49,321 --> 00:13:52,956
...before my dad left
me and my mom...
321
00:13:52,958 --> 00:13:56,660
he used to... take me
to the comic book store.
322
00:13:57,596 --> 00:14:01,098
It was one of the few things
we did together.
323
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,867
Oh. Howie, I had no idea.
324
00:14:03,869 --> 00:14:07,271
Well, I don't...
like to talk about it.
325
00:14:07,273 --> 00:14:09,973
Oh, baby.
326
00:14:09,975 --> 00:14:13,444
That story's made
up, isn't it?
327
00:14:14,647 --> 00:14:18,215
That's how much buying
a comic book store means to me.
328
00:14:21,187 --> 00:14:23,887
I'd like your honest
opinion on something.
329
00:14:23,889 --> 00:14:25,122
Of course.
330
00:14:25,124 --> 00:14:26,590
Now, before I start,
331
00:14:26,592 --> 00:14:30,594
I need you to know that
I'm very excited about this,
332
00:14:30,596 --> 00:14:32,696
and anything you say
333
00:14:32,698 --> 00:14:34,765
that isn't
enthusiastically supportive
334
00:14:34,767 --> 00:14:38,469
will throw our entire
relationship into question.
335
00:14:40,606 --> 00:14:42,306
So...
336
00:14:42,308 --> 00:14:45,075
keep an open mind.
337
00:14:45,077 --> 00:14:48,178
I'm feeling a little backed
into a corner, Sheldon.
338
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:50,214
Perfect. Now...
339
00:14:51,484 --> 00:14:53,951
...I'm considering investing
340
00:14:53,953 --> 00:14:56,653
in Stuart's comic book store.
341
00:14:57,523 --> 00:14:58,989
Interesting.
342
00:15:01,093 --> 00:15:03,827
Can you see how
a grown man,
343
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:05,429
an accomplished scientist,
344
00:15:05,431 --> 00:15:07,965
who invests in a store
345
00:15:07,967 --> 00:15:09,833
that sells picture books
346
00:15:09,835 --> 00:15:13,237
about flying men in
colorful underwear...
347
00:15:14,507 --> 00:15:16,673
...might be wasting
both his financial
348
00:15:16,675 --> 00:15:18,742
and intellectual
resources?
349
00:15:25,384 --> 00:15:27,584
No.
350
00:15:29,121 --> 00:15:31,755
Then I think it's
a terrific idea.
351
00:15:31,757 --> 00:15:33,624
Great.
352
00:15:33,626 --> 00:15:37,761
Wait till you hear
about our van.
353
00:15:42,067 --> 00:15:44,001
Hey. Thanks for inviting us over.
Hey.
354
00:15:44,003 --> 00:15:45,435
Oh, thank you
for coming.
355
00:15:45,437 --> 00:15:47,971
Uh, listen, Penny,
before you start,
356
00:15:47,973 --> 00:15:49,940
I just want to apologize
for being so rude
357
00:15:49,942 --> 00:15:51,275
the other day
in my office.
358
00:15:51,277 --> 00:15:52,743
No, no. No need to apologize.
359
00:15:52,745 --> 00:15:54,444
Excuse me,
can I say something?
360
00:15:54,446 --> 00:15:56,580
I just love both you guys,
361
00:15:56,582 --> 00:15:58,549
and I want you
to get along.
362
00:15:58,551 --> 00:16:01,151
And when I say “love”"
I meant as a friend.
363
00:16:02,121 --> 00:16:04,888
And, uh, way
too soon, right?
364
00:16:06,225 --> 00:16:07,891
Okay, sit down.
Listen, Emily,
365
00:16:07,893 --> 00:16:09,459
what happened
between me and Raj
366
00:16:09,461 --> 00:16:10,961
was a long time ago.
It was,
367
00:16:10,963 --> 00:16:12,329
and I may have
made it seem
368
00:16:12,331 --> 00:16:14,031
like a bigger deal
than I should have.
369
00:16:14,033 --> 00:16:15,499
Yeah, and Leonard and I
are engaged now,
370
00:16:15,501 --> 00:16:17,901
and I'm just hoping we can put
this whole thing behind us.
371
00:16:17,903 --> 00:16:19,369
Mm. I'd like that, too.
372
00:16:19,371 --> 00:16:21,538
Yeah, I thought
I'd be okay with it,
373
00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:23,774
but then I saw
how pretty you are.
374
00:16:23,776 --> 00:16:25,309
Oh, that's so sweet.
375
00:16:25,311 --> 00:16:27,444
I mean, look at you--
you are gorgeous.
376
00:16:27,446 --> 00:16:31,181
It's true--
you're both gorgeous.
377
00:16:31,183 --> 00:16:33,884
Kind of says something about
the man who could bed you both.
378
00:16:40,326 --> 00:16:44,661
You get why I've been alone
most of my adult life.
379
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:50,067
So, what brings you by?
Well,
380
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:52,836
I don't need a reason--
it's my house.
381
00:16:52,838 --> 00:16:55,172
Technically,
it's your mom's house, but...
382
00:16:55,174 --> 00:16:58,175
we certainly want you
to feel welcome.
383
00:16:58,177 --> 00:17:00,944
I'm always welcome.
384
00:17:00,946 --> 00:17:03,714
Mm, just... try and call first.
385
00:17:03,716 --> 00:17:06,984
Okay, let's get
down to business.
386
00:17:06,986 --> 00:17:09,353
Howie was thinking about
putting up some money
387
00:17:09,355 --> 00:17:12,322
to help you reopen the store,
but before that happens,
388
00:17:12,324 --> 00:17:14,391
I have a few questions.
Oh.
389
00:17:14,393 --> 00:17:15,759
I appreciate the offer,
390
00:17:15,761 --> 00:17:18,895
but actually your mother
already gave me the money.
391
00:17:20,566 --> 00:17:22,866
What?
392
00:17:22,868 --> 00:17:25,002
Yeah. I told her
it was too much,
393
00:17:25,004 --> 00:17:28,171
but she said she was happy
to help out her bubala.
394
00:17:29,441 --> 00:17:31,708
Excuse me.
395
00:17:32,678 --> 00:17:35,012
Ma, you are canceling
that check,
396
00:17:35,014 --> 00:17:37,781
and Stuart is not your bubala;
I'm your bubala.
397
00:17:37,783 --> 00:17:41,051
You can't have more
than one bubala!
398
00:17:41,053 --> 00:17:42,786
I don't know
who he's talking to.
399
00:17:42,788 --> 00:17:45,255
She's at Target,
buying me shirts.
400
00:17:48,293 --> 00:17:50,794
I'm so glad we
could work this all out.
401
00:17:50,796 --> 00:17:53,430
Yeah, me, too.
You know, we should have dinner
402
00:17:53,432 --> 00:17:54,798
one night with you and Leonard.
403
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,999
Oh, we would love that.
404
00:17:56,001 --> 00:17:56,733
Great!
405
00:17:57,970 --> 00:18:00,037
Okay, good night, guys.
All right, night.
406
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,039
Bye.
407
00:18:02,041 --> 00:18:04,608
I hate her.
I hate her.
408
00:18:13,540 --> 00:18:15,106
I'm really disappointed
we're not gonna have
409
00:18:15,108 --> 00:18:16,808
our own comic book store.
I know.
410
00:18:16,810 --> 00:18:18,576
I was looking forward to it.
It would've been
411
00:18:18,578 --> 00:18:20,878
so nice to have a place
that was ours,
412
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,848
where we could just sit
and read comics in peace.
413
00:18:23,850 --> 00:18:25,316
With comfy seats.
414
00:18:25,318 --> 00:18:26,684
And snacks.
415
00:18:26,686 --> 00:18:28,786
Well, I guess
it was too good to be true.
416
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:30,321
Yeah.
417
00:18:30,323 --> 00:18:36,823
