00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:05,814
Hey, I read
that someone invented a way
3
00:00:05,816 --> 00:00:08,233
to convert your footsteps
into electromagnetic energy
4
00:00:08,235 --> 00:00:10,152
so you can charge
your cell phone while walking.
5
00:00:10,154 --> 00:00:12,404
We had that idea years ago.
6
00:00:12,406 --> 00:00:14,272
How come we never
did anything with it?
7
00:00:14,274 --> 00:00:16,775
Probably because we left the
diagram of it in the restaurant,
8
00:00:16,777 --> 00:00:19,211
and none of us
wanted to walk back.
9
00:00:19,213 --> 00:00:23,081
I know the real reason you never
made progress with that idea.
10
00:00:23,083 --> 00:00:24,533
You thought of it
11
00:00:24,535 --> 00:00:26,585
September 22, 2007.
12
00:00:26,587 --> 00:00:28,954
Two days later, Penny moved in,
13
00:00:28,956 --> 00:00:31,123
and so much blood rushed
to your genitals,
14
00:00:31,125 --> 00:00:33,041
your brain became a ghost town.
15
00:00:34,762 --> 00:00:36,745
That's not what happened.
16
00:00:36,747 --> 00:00:38,463
I remember it distinctly
17
00:00:38,465 --> 00:00:40,766
because I had just
composed my annual poem
18
00:00:40,768 --> 00:00:43,719
commemorating the anniversary
of Dr. Seuss's death.
19
00:00:43,721 --> 00:00:44,970
No one wants
to hear it.
20
00:00:44,972 --> 00:00:46,471
Why, die.
21
00:00:46,473 --> 00:00:48,023
Why did he die?
22
00:00:48,025 --> 00:00:49,358
Old, told.
23
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,309
I was told he was old.
24
00:00:51,311 --> 00:00:54,613
Penny is not the reason
I didn't pursue that idea.
25
00:00:54,615 --> 00:00:56,732
Oh, really?
Since meeting her,
26
00:00:56,734 --> 00:00:58,900
what have been
your greatest accomplishments?
27
00:00:58,902 --> 00:01:00,035
KOOTHRAPPALI:
Easy.
28
00:01:00,037 --> 00:01:02,037
Sleeping with Penny.
29
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:04,823
Getting Penny to go back out
with him after she dumped him.
30
00:01:04,825 --> 00:01:07,159
Tricking Penny
into getting engaged.
31
00:01:07,161 --> 00:01:10,328
And a few weeks ago,
he almost did a pull-up.
32
00:01:11,415 --> 00:01:14,483
I think
someone owes me an apology.
33
00:01:14,485 --> 00:01:16,835
Well, don't feel bad.
34
00:01:16,837 --> 00:01:18,970
I think we've all
been distracted
35
00:01:18,972 --> 00:01:20,789
since the girls
entered our lives.
36
00:01:20,791 --> 00:01:22,591
You admit Amy's a distraction?
37
00:01:22,593 --> 00:01:25,177
Oh, very much so.
Listen to this.
38
00:01:25,179 --> 00:01:27,179
This is from two days ago.
39
00:01:27,181 --> 00:01:29,848
“Hi. Hope you're having
a good day.”
40
00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:32,384
Who has time
for this constant sexting?
41
00:01:33,187 --> 00:01:36,688
Well, maybe
we have lost our focus.
42
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:40,325
It wouldn't kill us to get
together and brainstorm ideas.
43
00:01:40,327 --> 00:01:42,861
Ooh, we could have one
of those retreats.
44
00:01:42,863 --> 00:01:44,246
Like our own science retreat.
45
00:01:44,248 --> 00:01:46,498
My cousin has a cabin
out in the woods.
46
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:48,867
I'm not going to a
cabin in the woods.
47
00:01:48,869 --> 00:01:52,120
Did you see the movie
Cabin in the Woods?
48
00:01:52,122 --> 00:01:53,422
Then we'll go to a hotel.
49
00:01:53,424 --> 00:01:56,591
A hotel?
Did you see The Shining?
50
00:01:56,593 --> 00:01:58,510
KOOTHRAPPALI:
We could go up
51
00:01:58,512 --> 00:02:00,762
to Big Bear
and get a house on the lake.
52
00:02:00,764 --> 00:02:03,381
Did you see
The Lake House?
53
00:02:03,383 --> 00:02:05,717
Nothing bad happens
in The Lake House.
54
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:09,087
Yeah, well, no,
not to them. To me.
55
00:02:09,089 --> 00:02:10,222
Time traveling mailbox.
56
00:02:10,224 --> 00:02:11,440
The only time that traveled
57
00:02:11,442 --> 00:02:14,142
was an hour and half
of my life down the toilet.
58
00:02:14,144 --> 00:02:15,944
Fine. Then we'll just stay here
and do it.
59
00:02:15,946 --> 00:02:17,646
Well, you didn't suggest
a beach house.
60
00:02:17,648 --> 00:02:18,997
You would go to a beach house?
61
00:02:18,999 --> 00:02:21,366

@elder_man
72
00:02:51,659 --> 00:02:53,275
Hey.
Hey.
73
00:02:53,277 --> 00:02:54,910
So, the guys and
I are talking
74
00:02:54,912 --> 00:02:57,112
about having kind of a
science retreat this weekend.
75
00:02:57,114 --> 00:02:58,364
I just wanted to
know if that's okay.
76
00:02:58,366 --> 00:03:00,332
You and I had talked about
going to brunch on Sunday...
77
00:03:00,334 --> 00:03:01,784
Want to go to Vegas
this weekend?
78
00:03:01,786 --> 00:03:02,918
Of course I do.
79
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:04,086
Bernadette?
80
00:03:04,088 --> 00:03:05,421
Girl's weekend.
Vegas. You in?
81
00:03:05,423 --> 00:03:07,006
Hell, yeah!
Yes!
82
00:03:07,008 --> 00:03:09,124
I'll check flights.
I'll check hotels.
83
00:03:09,126 --> 00:03:11,543
I'll check my underpants.
I'm so excited, I think I peed.
84
00:03:20,287 --> 00:03:22,471
They seem okay with it.
85
00:03:26,027 --> 00:03:28,193
Hey.
86
00:03:28,195 --> 00:03:30,112
Hey.
Hey. I didn't think you'd make it.
87
00:03:30,114 --> 00:03:31,613
Why not?
Well, 'cause you have
88
00:03:31,615 --> 00:03:33,148
a steady girlfriend now,
and we assumed
89
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:36,368
you'd have to stay home to lower
the food down to her in the pit.
90
00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:39,071
(laughs)
91
00:03:40,908 --> 00:03:44,159
For your information,
Emily is working tonight.
92
00:03:44,161 --> 00:03:46,445
Yeah, one would assume,
on getting out of the pit.
93
00:03:48,499 --> 00:03:50,132
Okay, let's focus.
94
00:03:50,134 --> 00:03:52,051
The girls are gone,
we have 48 hours.
95
00:03:52,053 --> 00:03:54,386
There are no distractions.
Let's change the world.
96
00:03:54,388 --> 00:03:56,972
Thinking caps on.
Here we go.
97
00:03:56,974 --> 00:03:58,474
Ooh, this is exciting.
We're innovating.
98
00:03:58,476 --> 00:04:00,476
I feel like
we're in the Facebook movie.
99
00:04:00,478 --> 00:04:02,094
Oh. I never saw that.
100
00:04:02,096 --> 00:04:03,896
Yeah. Really?
KOOTHRAPPALI: Oh.
101
00:04:03,898 --> 00:04:06,014
It's wonderful, and I swear
I'm not saying that
102
00:04:06,016 --> 00:04:08,183
because Justin Timberlake
is in it.
103
00:04:09,353 --> 00:04:11,153
Yeah, I have it on Blu-ray.
104
00:04:11,155 --> 00:04:12,521
We should watch it.
105
00:04:12,523 --> 00:04:14,740
Cool. I'll make the popcorn.
106
00:04:15,576 --> 00:04:16,992
Guys...
107
00:04:16,994 --> 00:04:18,327
in 30 seconds, we went from
108
00:04:18,329 --> 00:04:20,712
“Let's change the world”
to “Let's watch TV.”
109
00:04:21,449 --> 00:04:24,316
I'm sorry. Is that a “no”?
110
00:04:24,318 --> 00:04:25,667
WOLOWITZ:
Okay. No.
111
00:04:25,669 --> 00:04:26,919
Leonard's right.
We're here to focus.
112
00:04:26,921 --> 00:04:29,004
Didn't we used
to have a list of all our ideas?
113
00:04:29,006 --> 00:04:30,706
I-I think I still have it.
114
00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:32,391
I did not get a clear answer.
115
00:04:32,393 --> 00:04:34,510
I'm gonna set this down now.
116
00:04:35,379 --> 00:04:37,096
Ah, here it is.
117
00:04:37,098 --> 00:04:38,764
(laughs)
Whoa.
118
00:04:38,766 --> 00:04:40,549
I haven't looked
at these in years.
119
00:04:40,551 --> 00:04:42,217
“Robot girlfriend.”
120
00:04:42,219 --> 00:04:44,520
Mm, that was mine.
121
00:04:44,522 --> 00:04:47,890
“Robot prostitute.”
122
00:04:47,892 --> 00:04:50,442
Also mine.
123
00:04:50,444 --> 00:04:51,710
SHELDON:
Wait. I'm confused.
124
00:04:51,712 --> 00:04:53,662
Why would you need
both a robot girlfriend
125
00:04:53,664 --> 00:04:55,230
and a robot prostitute?
126
00:04:55,232 --> 00:04:56,899
There's just some things
you don't do
127
00:04:56,901 --> 00:04:58,517
with your robot girlfriend.
128
00:05:00,738 --> 00:05:02,404
Boy, when you met Bernadette,
129
00:05:02,406 --> 00:05:05,157
the field of robotics
really took a hit.
130
00:05:06,076 --> 00:05:07,292
Okay, let's just skip
131
00:05:07,294 --> 00:05:09,912
all the inventions
you can have sex with.
132
00:05:15,753 --> 00:05:17,886
All right, no... here we go:
133
00:05:17,888 --> 00:05:19,721
“Ergonomic heated seat cushion”"
134
00:05:19,723 --> 00:05:21,256
No, it vibrates.
Keep going.
135
00:05:24,311 --> 00:05:26,728
You know, let's just come up
with something new.
136
00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:28,063
SHELDON:
You know,
137
00:05:28,065 --> 00:05:30,265
a number of significant
innovations have been inspired
138
00:05:30,267 --> 00:05:31,767
by science fiction.
139
00:05:31,769 --> 00:05:34,436
The-the geosynchronous satellite
from Arthur C. Clarke.
140
00:05:34,438 --> 00:05:37,606
The Motorola flip phone...
that came from Star Trek.
141
00:05:37,608 --> 00:05:39,942
Yeah, and I've long suspected
that the idea
142
00:05:39,944 --> 00:05:42,044
of an African-American president
was stolen
143
00:05:42,046 --> 00:05:44,796
from the movie Deep Impact.
144
00:05:45,783 --> 00:05:47,416
KOOTHRAPPALI:
Hey,
145
00:05:47,418 --> 00:05:49,935
the future they show
in Back to the Future II
146
00:05:49,937 --> 00:05:51,670
is only a year away.
147
00:05:51,672 --> 00:05:54,206
A lot of the things in that
movie haven't been invented yet.
148
00:05:54,208 --> 00:05:55,424
How cool would that be
149
00:05:55,426 --> 00:05:56,959
if we could make
one of those a reality?
150
00:05:56,961 --> 00:05:59,044
If we could figure out
the scientific basis
151
00:05:59,046 --> 00:06:00,295
for Marty's hover board,
152
00:06:00,297 --> 00:06:02,731
that would have
universal application.
153
00:06:02,733 --> 00:06:04,967
Well, it's-it's possible
at absolute zero,
154
00:06:04,969 --> 00:06:06,118
but we would
have to remove
155
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,803
the temperature restrictions.
156
00:06:07,805 --> 00:06:09,087
Oh, I have an idea.
157
00:06:09,089 --> 00:06:10,355
I think I have the same one.
158
00:06:10,357 --> 00:06:12,491
We got to watch
Back to the Future II!
159
00:06:13,310 --> 00:06:16,528
I'll make the popcorn.
160
00:06:18,983 --> 00:06:20,532
So, where should
we go first?
161
00:06:20,534 --> 00:06:21,667
Ooh.
162
00:06:21,669 --> 00:06:23,318
There's a cover band
in the lounge.
163
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,387
Nah.
But they play Barry Manilow.
164
00:06:25,389 --> 00:06:29,341
No.
But they're called “Fairly Manilow”"
165
00:06:30,244 --> 00:06:31,627
Oh. Okay.
166
00:06:31,629 --> 00:06:33,161
Great!
No!
167
00:06:34,081 --> 00:06:36,131
Well, what do you want
to do?
168
00:06:36,133 --> 00:06:37,466
Well, we're in Vegas.
169
00:06:37,468 --> 00:06:39,818
I want to go downstairs,
get a bucket of margaritas,
170
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:42,004
dance until I vomit
all over a roulette wheel
171
00:06:42,006 --> 00:06:43,522
and watch it go everywhere.
172
00:06:44,842 --> 00:06:46,341
What if we don't want to vomit?
173
00:06:46,343 --> 00:06:49,261
Oh, you will. That's why
they give you the bucket.
174
00:06:50,431 --> 00:06:52,097
Uh-oh.
What?
175
00:06:52,099 --> 00:06:53,599
It's my boss.
176
00:06:53,601 --> 00:06:55,684
They moved my field ride
up to Monday.
177
00:06:55,686 --> 00:06:56,818
What does that mean?
178
00:06:56,820 --> 00:06:58,937
It means instead
of having a week to study,
179
00:06:58,939 --> 00:07:00,188
I only have two days.
180
00:07:00,190 --> 00:07:01,323
That sucks.
181
00:07:01,325 --> 00:07:02,975
Can you start
in the morning?
182
00:07:02,977 --> 00:07:04,026
Uh, it's kind of a lot.
183
00:07:04,028 --> 00:07:05,694
You know,
let me do a little tonight,
184
00:07:05,696 --> 00:07:07,362
and I'll catch up
with you guys later.
185
00:07:07,364 --> 00:07:09,698
You sure?
Yeah, it's okay. Go ahead.
186
00:07:11,535 --> 00:07:13,502
So, um, now that
Penny's not coming...
187
00:07:13,504 --> 00:07:15,754
We're not seeing Fairly Manilow.
Okay.
188
00:07:18,459 --> 00:07:20,726
(dramatic movie music
plays on TV)
189
00:07:23,297 --> 00:07:25,280
Hold on. Pause.
190
00:07:25,282 --> 00:07:27,466
Something doesn't make sense.
Look...
191
00:07:29,053 --> 00:07:31,687
In 2015, Biff steals
the sports almanac
192
00:07:31,689 --> 00:07:33,639
and takes the time machine
193
00:07:33,641 --> 00:07:37,476
back to 1955, to give it
to his younger self.
194
00:07:37,478 --> 00:07:40,646
But as soon as he does that,
he changes the future,
195
00:07:40,648 --> 00:07:42,981
so the 2015 he
returns to would be
196
00:07:42,983 --> 00:07:47,069
a different 2015, not the 2015
that Marty and Doc were in.
197
00:07:47,071 --> 00:07:50,088
This is Hot Tub Time Machine
all over again.
198
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,410
If future Biff
goes back to 2015
199
00:07:55,412 --> 00:07:57,296
right after he gives
young Biff the almanac,
200
00:07:57,298 --> 00:08:00,415
he could get back to the 2015
with Marty and Doc in it.
201
00:08:00,417 --> 00:08:03,719
Because it wasn't until
his 21st birthday
202
00:08:03,721 --> 00:08:05,837
that 1955 Biff
placed his first bet.
203
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:06,972
SHELDON:
Wait. Whoa, whoa.
204
00:08:06,974 --> 00:08:08,724
Is “placed” right?
205
00:08:08,726 --> 00:08:09,641
What do you mean?
206
00:08:09,643 --> 00:08:11,810
Is “placed” the right tense
207
00:08:11,812 --> 00:08:14,012
for something that would have
happened in the future
208
00:08:14,014 --> 00:08:17,099
of a past that was affected
by something from the future?
209
00:08:17,101 --> 00:08:21,069
Had will have placed?
210
00:08:21,071 --> 00:08:23,605
That's my boy.
211
00:08:24,775 --> 00:08:28,660
Okay, so, it wasn't until
his 21st birthday
212
00:08:28,662 --> 00:08:30,696
that Biff had will have
placed his first bet
213
00:08:30,698 --> 00:08:32,114
and made his millions.
214
00:08:32,116 --> 00:08:34,249
That's when
he altered the timeline.
215
00:08:34,251 --> 00:08:36,968
Yeah, but he had will
haven't placed it!
216
00:08:38,255 --> 00:08:41,456
What?!
217
00:08:41,458 --> 00:08:43,458
Unlike Hot Tub Time Machine,
218
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:45,544
this couldn't be more simple.
219
00:08:45,546 --> 00:08:47,546
When Biff gets the almanac
in 1955,
220
00:08:47,548 --> 00:08:49,965
the alternate future
he creates isn't the one
221
00:08:49,967 --> 00:08:52,851
in which Marty and Doc Brown
ever use the time machine
222
00:08:52,853 --> 00:08:54,186
to travel to 2015.
223
00:08:54,188 --> 00:08:55,137
Therefore,
224
00:08:55,139 --> 00:08:56,605
in the new timeline,
225
00:08:56,607 --> 00:08:58,607
Marty and Doc never brought
the time machine...
226
00:08:58,609 --> 00:08:59,691
W-Wait.
227
00:08:59,693 --> 00:09:01,276
Is “brought” right?
228
00:09:05,165 --> 00:09:09,634
Marty and Doc never
had have had brought?
229
00:09:10,487 --> 00:09:12,788
I don't know.
You did it to me.
230
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:15,374
Oh, I'm going with it.
231
00:09:15,376 --> 00:09:18,160
Marty and Doc never
had have had brought
232
00:09:18,162 --> 00:09:20,462
the time machine to 2015.
233
00:09:20,464 --> 00:09:23,048
That means 2015 Biff could also
234
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:27,002
not had have had brought
the almanac to 1955 Biff.
235
00:09:27,004 --> 00:09:31,673
Therefore, the timeline in which
1955 Biff gets the almanac
236
00:09:31,675 --> 00:09:33,175
is also the timeline
237
00:09:33,177 --> 00:09:36,011
in which 1955 Biff
never gets the almanac.
238
00:09:36,013 --> 00:09:37,846
And not just “never gets.”
239
00:09:37,848 --> 00:09:41,833
Never have, never hasn't,
never had have hasn't.
240
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:48,123
He's right.
241
00:09:50,027 --> 00:09:52,911
Also, what kind of name is Biff?
242
00:09:52,913 --> 00:09:55,480
Sounds like when you pop open
a can of Pillsbury dough.
243
00:09:55,482 --> 00:09:58,083
Biff.
244
00:09:59,586 --> 00:10:02,671
Oh, that stuff is so good
wrapped around cocktail weenies.
245
00:10:02,673 --> 00:10:03,622
Guys...
246
00:10:03,624 --> 00:10:04,840
Do you know that
the word “wiener”
247
00:10:04,842 --> 00:10:06,041
comes from the German name
248
00:10:06,043 --> 00:10:07,375
of the Austrian capital
Vienna, or “Wien”?
249
00:10:07,377 --> 00:10:09,711
Do you know if you look
at Austria on a map
250
00:10:09,713 --> 00:10:11,129
it actually looks like a wiener?
251
00:10:12,599 --> 00:10:13,799
Guys, what are
we doing?
252
00:10:13,801 --> 00:10:14,966
W-We sent the girls away
253
00:10:14,968 --> 00:10:16,184
so we could focus.
254
00:10:16,186 --> 00:10:19,304
I don't think it worked.
255
00:10:28,601 --> 00:10:30,818
(lively dance music playing)
256
00:10:34,707 --> 00:10:38,943
Maybe after this, you'll be
in the mood for some Manilow.
257
00:10:38,945 --> 00:10:42,029
I think after this,
I'll be dead.
258
00:10:42,031 --> 00:10:44,064
Look at us out,
259
00:10:44,066 --> 00:10:45,950
while Penny's in
the room studying.
260
00:10:45,952 --> 00:10:47,201
I'm proud of her.
261
00:10:47,203 --> 00:10:48,335
This is a great opportunity.
262
00:10:48,337 --> 00:10:50,204
It's nice to see her take it
seriously.
263
00:10:50,206 --> 00:10:51,206
It is.
264
00:10:51,207 --> 00:10:52,207
But enough about Penny.
265
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:54,008
Let's talk about us.
266
00:10:54,010 --> 00:10:56,343
We're looking good.
267
00:10:56,345 --> 00:10:58,429
We are... (giggles)
268
00:10:58,431 --> 00:11:00,097
Better than good.
269
00:11:00,099 --> 00:11:03,517
I mean, look at you.
Your body's bangin'!
270
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:05,302
Amy!
271
00:11:05,304 --> 00:11:06,637
Don't “Amy” me.
272
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:07,638
We're always talking
about how hot Penny is.
273
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,974
Come on... scientist
to scientist,
274
00:11:09,976 --> 00:11:13,644
how big are those
Hadron Colliders?
275
00:11:15,481 --> 00:11:17,898
You're embarrassing me.
276
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:18,983
Oh, don't be embarrassed.
277
00:11:18,985 --> 00:11:21,318
I'll show you the divot
in my spine.
278
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:21,929
What?
279
00:11:21,953 --> 00:11:23,872
No, no, it's okay.
I was born with it.
280
00:11:23,873 --> 00:11:26,073
If you put a double-A
battery in there,
281
00:11:26,075 --> 00:11:28,959
it makes my leg kick.
282
00:11:31,130 --> 00:11:32,162
All right.
283
00:11:32,164 --> 00:11:34,415
Oh, this is already better.
There are
284
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:36,800
far fewer distractions in here.
285
00:11:36,802 --> 00:11:37,918
Plus, this is where our minds
286
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,219
are conditioned
to focus on work.
287
00:11:39,221 --> 00:11:40,921
So, I've been thinking
about the hover boards,
288
00:11:40,923 --> 00:11:43,640
and maybe there's a way
we could use Maglev technology.
289
00:11:43,642 --> 00:11:46,343
Or if we could figure out a
way to supercool the materials,
290
00:11:46,345 --> 00:11:47,978
we could utilize
quantum coupling.
291
00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:50,147
Well, I wonder
if anyone's tried that.
292
00:11:50,149 --> 00:11:51,648
Go online and look it up.
293
00:11:51,650 --> 00:11:53,233
Oh, I can't argue with him.
294
00:11:53,235 --> 00:11:54,685
It's right there on the screen.
295
00:11:54,687 --> 00:11:58,238
Austria does look like a wiener.
296
00:11:59,275 --> 00:12:00,407
That's nothing, dude.
297
00:12:00,409 --> 00:12:02,559
Go check out
how hung Florida is.
298
00:12:02,561 --> 00:12:04,661
(laughing)
299
00:12:04,663 --> 00:12:06,780
I'm sure Mrs. Florida's
walking funny.
300
00:12:06,782 --> 00:12:08,198
Can we get back to work?
301
00:12:09,452 --> 00:12:10,951
Yeah... he's right.
302
00:12:10,953 --> 00:12:13,170
Oh, here's a thought.
303
00:12:13,172 --> 00:12:16,623
What if we use some form of
operant conditioning techniques
304
00:12:16,625 --> 00:12:18,592
to keep us from
getting off topic?
305
00:12:18,594 --> 00:12:20,461
Like behavior modification?
306
00:12:20,463 --> 00:12:21,512
Yeah, exactly.
307
00:12:21,514 --> 00:12:22,780
Did you know
308
00:12:22,782 --> 00:12:25,215
those techniques were used
to actually teach pigeons
309
00:12:25,217 --> 00:12:26,767
to play ping-pong?
310
00:12:26,769 --> 00:12:28,802
That cannot be true.
311
00:12:28,804 --> 00:12:31,004
(ping-pong ball bouncing)
312
00:12:38,647 --> 00:12:41,648
Hey, it was match point.
313
00:12:42,485 --> 00:12:44,201
Some psychologists
314
00:12:44,203 --> 00:12:46,153
perform operant conditioning
with punishment.
315
00:12:46,155 --> 00:12:47,621
Maybe we can come up
with a punishment
316
00:12:47,623 --> 00:12:49,490
for straying off topic.
317
00:12:49,492 --> 00:12:54,244
Not getting to see who wins at
pigeon ping-pong comes to mind.
318
00:12:54,246 --> 00:12:56,413
We could snap a rubber
band on our wrists
319
00:12:56,415 --> 00:12:58,382
every time we
get sidetracked.
320
00:12:58,384 --> 00:13:01,835
Mmm, not bad.
You know, in medieval times,
321
00:13:01,837 --> 00:13:04,004
idle chatter was punished
with a device called
322
00:13:04,006 --> 00:13:05,672
the scold's bridle.
323
00:13:05,674 --> 00:13:07,257
It's an iron cage
324
00:13:07,259 --> 00:13:11,345
that's locked around the head
and pierces the tongue.
325
00:13:11,347 --> 00:13:14,548
If only we had one.
326
00:13:15,618 --> 00:13:17,818
Oh! I'll check Amazon.
327
00:13:21,023 --> 00:13:23,140
(knocking on door)
328
00:13:23,142 --> 00:13:25,492
BERNADETTE:
Housekeeping!
329
00:13:27,329 --> 00:13:28,946
AMY:
We had a complaint
330
00:13:28,948 --> 00:13:32,466
about somebody pooping
on a party in there!
331
00:13:34,887 --> 00:13:37,538
It was us the whole time!
332
00:13:38,674 --> 00:13:40,541
Why'd you tell her?
It was working.
333
00:13:40,543 --> 00:13:42,009
Was it working?
334
00:13:42,011 --> 00:13:44,428
Yeah.
335
00:13:44,430 --> 00:13:47,181
Oh, I'm so sorry.
336
00:13:47,183 --> 00:13:50,050
You guys look
like you're having fun.
337
00:13:50,052 --> 00:13:51,552
We're having
the best time.
338
00:13:51,554 --> 00:13:56,056
Guess who won $100
playing craps.
339
00:13:56,058 --> 00:13:57,558
That's a dollar.
340
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:01,145
Then guess who wildly overtipped
a cocktail waitress.
341
00:14:01,147 --> 00:14:03,614
Hey, Penny... hey, let's go.
342
00:14:03,616 --> 00:14:06,950
We found a place that has
Australian male strippers.
343
00:14:06,952 --> 00:14:08,068
We want to see
344
00:14:08,070 --> 00:14:10,404
if they twirl their junk
in the other direction.
345
00:14:20,833 --> 00:14:22,749
That sounds so great.
346
00:14:22,751 --> 00:14:25,252
But I have
a little more studying to do.
347
00:14:25,254 --> 00:14:28,055
(sighs) Can you
believe this nerd?
348
00:14:29,091 --> 00:14:31,925
Come on, do you want to
sit here being a loser,
349
00:14:31,927 --> 00:14:33,093
or do you want to watch me climb
350
00:14:33,095 --> 00:14:34,595
into an Australian man's
G-string
351
00:14:34,597 --> 00:14:36,763
like a baby kangaroo?
352
00:14:42,104 --> 00:14:45,239
All right, guys, look,
I would love to go out,
353
00:14:45,241 --> 00:14:46,773
but I've got
to get this done, okay?
354
00:14:46,775 --> 00:14:48,942
So have fun at the club.
And if you get
355
00:14:48,944 --> 00:14:50,444
in trouble, find a policeman.
356
00:14:50,446 --> 00:14:52,279
And if he's taking off
his pants,
357
00:14:52,281 --> 00:14:54,665
he is not a real policeman.
358
00:14:54,667 --> 00:14:58,202
Okay, okay, this is obviously
very important to her.
359
00:14:58,204 --> 00:15:01,371
Let's just, we'll help her study
so she can get done quicker.
360
00:15:01,373 --> 00:15:03,090
Here...
here, I'm gonna quiz you.
361
00:15:03,092 --> 00:15:05,759
I'm gonna quiz you.
362
00:15:05,761 --> 00:15:08,128
I got your notes!
363
00:15:08,130 --> 00:15:09,346
I got your notes!
364
00:15:09,348 --> 00:15:11,265
I got your notes!
If you want these,
365
00:15:11,267 --> 00:15:14,368
they're gonna be
at the strip club!
366
00:15:15,854 --> 00:15:17,804
Aren't you gonna chase her?
367
00:15:17,806 --> 00:15:20,107
To the walk-in closet? Sure.
368
00:15:27,816 --> 00:15:29,149
Okay, so we agree,
369
00:15:29,151 --> 00:15:30,484
whenever someone
takes us off topic
370
00:15:30,486 --> 00:15:33,787
they get their arm
hair yanked off.
371
00:15:33,789 --> 00:15:34,905
And I really
can't let that happen
372
00:15:34,907 --> 00:15:36,290
or the girl who does
my eyebrows will think
373
00:15:36,292 --> 00:15:37,791
I've been cheating on her.
374
00:15:38,827 --> 00:15:42,329
All right, now, one benefit
of quantum coupling...
375
00:15:42,331 --> 00:15:43,714
Wait, no, question:
376
00:15:43,716 --> 00:15:45,749
who decides if someone's
gone off topic?
377
00:15:45,751 --> 00:15:48,335
I think it'll be pretty clear.
If not, we'll take a vote.
378
00:15:48,337 --> 00:15:50,053
Oh, and also...
379
00:15:50,055 --> 00:15:52,673
Ow!
380
00:15:52,675 --> 00:15:54,758
W-We didn't vote!
381
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,927
We didn't have to...
that was clearly a tangent.
382
00:15:56,929 --> 00:15:58,595
Now come on.
Back to work.
383
00:15:58,597 --> 00:16:00,480
If we're leaning towards
quantum coupling...
384
00:16:00,482 --> 00:16:02,599
Aah! Why?
385
00:16:02,601 --> 00:16:04,318
You said
“quantum coupling.”
386
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,520
That made me think
of the show Quantum Leap.
387
00:16:06,522 --> 00:16:08,212
That's a tangent
and it's your fault.
388
00:16:08,212 --> 00:16:09,601
That's ridiculous.
389
00:16:09,625 --> 00:16:11,625
Sheldon, I vote that
is not a tangent.
390
00:16:12,077 --> 00:16:13,694
Thank you.
And now I owe you one.
391
00:16:13,696 --> 00:16:15,779
Ow!
392
00:16:15,781 --> 00:16:17,531
That was your fault.
393
00:16:17,533 --> 00:16:19,082
Hey!
394
00:16:19,084 --> 00:16:21,335
Ooh, that is a lot of hair.
395
00:16:22,004 --> 00:16:23,587
Ow!
396
00:16:23,589 --> 00:16:27,007
And now I'm gonna hear it
from Jenny.
397
00:16:27,009 --> 00:16:29,009
(stammers)
Everyone stop.
398
00:16:29,011 --> 00:16:30,260
This was a stupid idea.
399
00:16:30,262 --> 00:16:32,546
Negative reinforcement
isn't working.
400
00:16:32,548 --> 00:16:34,381
I think you mean
positive punishment.
401
00:16:34,383 --> 00:16:37,834
Negative reinforcement is the
removal of a positive stimulus.
402
00:16:37,836 --> 00:16:39,219
It's a common mistake.
403
00:16:39,221 --> 00:16:41,471
Negative reinforcement
is really wrong?
404
00:16:41,473 --> 00:16:43,223
Oh, it's used incorrectly
all the time.
405
00:16:43,225 --> 00:16:45,025
Even Bill Murray
makes that mistake
406
00:16:45,027 --> 00:16:47,044
in the first scene
of Ghostbusters.
407
00:16:47,046 --> 00:16:50,681
No way. Not Bill Murray.
408
00:16:50,683 --> 00:16:53,233
I'm studying the effect
of negative reinforcement
409
00:16:53,235 --> 00:16:55,152
on ESP ability.
410
00:16:55,154 --> 00:16:56,236
Huh.
411
00:16:56,238 --> 00:16:59,406
Bill Murray did get it wrong.
412
00:16:59,408 --> 00:17:01,208
Jump ahead to the Stay Puft
Marshmallow Man.
413
00:17:01,210 --> 00:17:02,909
No!
(Sheldon stammers)
414
00:17:02,911 --> 00:17:04,878
Leonard's right.
415
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,413
We can't just jump ahead.
416
00:17:06,415 --> 00:17:09,082
We have to watch the whole movie.
Look.
417
00:17:09,084 --> 00:17:11,218
We keep procrastinating.
418
00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:13,053
We saw Back to the Future II,
419
00:17:13,055 --> 00:17:14,204
pigeons playing
ping-pong,
420
00:17:14,206 --> 00:17:15,756
a bunch of countries
that look like genitals
421
00:17:15,758 --> 00:17:18,759
and one guy whose genitals
look like Denmark!
422
00:17:19,928 --> 00:17:22,829
Yeah, sorry for
clicking on that.
423
00:17:24,650 --> 00:17:26,400
It's late.
We've wasted hours.
424
00:17:26,402 --> 00:17:28,185
Can we please find it
in ourselves
425
00:17:28,187 --> 00:17:29,986
to do any amount of work
tonight?
426
00:17:29,988 --> 00:17:33,573
But we didn't see them bust
one ghost.
427
00:17:35,077 --> 00:17:37,744
So y-you're saying
we should stand here
428
00:17:37,746 --> 00:17:39,579
in my lab on a
Saturday night
429
00:17:39,581 --> 00:17:40,781
and watch the rest
of Ghostbusters
430
00:17:40,783 --> 00:17:42,449
on a crappy laptop?
431
00:17:42,451 --> 00:17:43,917
No.
432
00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:47,537
♪ ♪
433
00:17:49,842 --> 00:17:52,125
♪ ♪
434
00:17:54,063 --> 00:17:56,430
It really does hold up.
435
00:17:58,634 --> 00:18:00,884
(dance music blaring,
women whooping and cheering)
436
00:18:05,224 --> 00:18:08,642
See? Isn't this better
than a hotel room?
437
00:18:08,644 --> 00:18:11,645
Yep. Shake that thing!
438
00:18:11,647 --> 00:18:15,932
Have you ever seen a body
so fine?
439
00:18:15,934 --> 00:18:18,618
We had some pretty hot corpses
in my anatomy class,
440
00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:21,121
but none of them
moved like that!
441
00:18:35,967 --> 00:18:38,504
PENNY:
Good morning.
442
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,138
You want to go
to the pool?
443
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:42,507
(both groaning)
444
00:18:42,509 --> 00:18:45,510
Come on...
you said it yourself.
445
00:18:45,512 --> 00:18:48,379
Only nerds and losers
stay in the room.
446
00:18:48,381 --> 00:18:51,632
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
447
00:18:51,634 --> 00:18:53,351
Wow, it's bright out.
448
00:18:53,353 --> 00:18:56,020
Isn't it bright? I should
probably close these curtains.
449
00:18:56,022 --> 00:18:57,638
Nah. Bye!
450
00:18:58,725 --> 00:19:01,592
Would you please close
the drapes?
451
00:19:01,594 --> 00:19:02,894
Okay.
452
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:04,200
(Thud!)
453
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:14,000
