00:00:03,090 --> 00:00:06,006
Sheldon, do you want to put
the tables after each section

2
00:00:06,136 --> 00:00:08,008
or in an appendix
at the end?

3
00:00:08,138 --> 00:00:10,314
You know what?
We wrote this paper together.

4
00:00:10,445 --> 00:00:12,099
I think we should
decide together

5
00:00:12,229 --> 00:00:15,493
that they go in an appendix
at the end.

6
00:00:15,624 --> 00:00:17,887
How about that?
There is an "I" in "team."

7
00:00:22,152 --> 00:00:24,850
Look at what we made.
I know.

8
00:00:24,981 --> 00:00:27,114
It really is the best
of both of us.

9
00:00:27,244 --> 00:00:29,899
It's got my math
and your sassy takedown

10
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:31,509
of the fundamental nature
of symmetry.

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,338
It's got my bottomless
intellectual curiosity

12
00:00:34,469 --> 00:00:36,166
and your petulant refusal

13
00:00:36,297 --> 00:00:39,082
to spell "gray" with an "a"
like an American.

14
00:00:39,213 --> 00:00:42,825
You realize we still have
a lot of work to do

15
00:00:42,955 --> 00:00:44,174
before we can publish.

16
00:00:44,305 --> 00:00:46,089
Perhaps we should
divide and conquer.

17
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:48,657
Now, you track down
all the citations

18
00:00:48,787 --> 00:00:50,224
and properly note them
in our bibliography,

19
00:00:50,354 --> 00:00:52,356
and I will roll up
my sleeves

20
00:00:52,487 --> 00:00:54,880
and decide what font
we want to use.

21
00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:58,710
Sheldon, there are hundreds
of citations to track down.

22
00:00:58,841 --> 00:01:01,800
And thousands of fonts, but
you don't hear me complaining.

spend weeks

Can't we hire
a grad student to do it?

00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:10,505
Yeah, a grad student?

27
00:01:10,635 --> 00:01:12,376
I am not trusting
our unpublished paper

28
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:13,595

29
00:01:13,725 --> 00:01:15,075
They'll put unicorn emojis on it

30
00:01:15,205 --> 00:01:17,207
and then post it
on social media.

31
00:01:17,338 --> 00:01:19,122
Why would they do that?

32
00:01:19,253 --> 00:01:22,082
Economic anxiety, too much
avocado toast, who cares?

33
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:26,347
Look, the point is, we can't
afford to have this paper leaked

34
00:01:26,477 --> 00:01:27,696
before we're ready to publish.

35
00:01:27,826 --> 00:01:29,350
That's how you kiss
the Nobel Prize good-bye

36
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,700
instead of hello
as I intend to do.

37

I assume you mean
metaphorically.

38
00:01:34,659 --> 00:01:35,356
Absolutely not. If the King
of Sweden hands me a medal,

39
00:01:36,748 --> 00:01:37,923
I intend to smear it with Purell
and then kiss it.

of our friends to help us out?

Gee, I don't know.
Can we trust him?

Oh, nothing. He just concocted
some stupid test

Well, I am shocked,
Sheldon,

00:03:37,391 --> 00:03:39,480
because I totally believed
that the woman you reported

In a minute. I want to show
Howard I can play this game.

176
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,866
You know, you make
a lot more money than he does.

177
00:07:55,997 --> 00:07:58,695
Can't you just rub
his nose in that?

178
00:07:58,826 --> 00:08:01,872
I can, but I want
to rub his nose in this.

179
00:08:02,003 --> 00:08:05,180
Ugh, damn it,
why can't I hit anybody?

180
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:06,573
Here, let me try.

181
00:08:06,703 --> 00:08:09,489
Lots of luck--
it's way harder than it looks.

182
00:08:09,619 --> 00:08:11,360
[explosion]
Got him.

183
00:08:15,233 --> 00:08:18,672
Okay, this citation
is correct. How you doing?

184
00:08:18,802 --> 00:08:20,369
Pretty good. I'm just
looking through

185
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,546
"The Effect of High Energy Muons
on Proton Pion Scattering

186
00:08:23,677 --> 00:08:26,593
at the National Accelerator..."
[inhales]

187
00:08:30,771 --> 00:08:32,468
"...Laboratory."

188
00:08:32,599 --> 00:08:35,253
Hey, should we take
a break?

189
00:08:35,384 --> 00:08:37,386
No, this actually
makes it more exciting.

190
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,476
We have to get through all of
this before I run out of this.

191
00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:43,392
It's like the movie Speed,
but instead of a bus,

192
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:45,220
it's your lungs.

193
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:48,397
And instead of Sandra Bullock,
it has sadness.

194
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,400
Why did you pull
this Russian paper?

195
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:52,923
Oh, it was cited
in this paper over here,

196
00:08:53,054 --> 00:08:54,534
so I thought
we should check it out.

197
00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:56,448
Mm, it's not
translated.

198
00:08:56,579 --> 00:08:58,538
Maybe we should talk to Howard;
his Russian's pretty good.

199
00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:02,019
We don't need Howard.
I've got Google Translate.

200
00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:04,892
Okay, here we go,

201
00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:06,807
from Russian to English.

202
00:09:08,156 --> 00:09:12,943
"Examinations of moose chowder
in lemon parachutes."

203
00:09:14,249 --> 00:09:18,645
Yeah, okay, now I know why
this app is free.

204
00:09:20,081 --> 00:09:23,911
Oh, gosh, my Russian's
a little rusty.

205
00:09:24,041 --> 00:09:26,957
If it helps, this word
may be "moose."

206
00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:33,050
Okay.

207
00:09:33,181 --> 00:09:34,486
This paper is called

208
00:09:34,617 --> 00:09:38,273
"Examinations of a

209
00:09:38,403 --> 00:09:41,493
Super-Asymmetric Model
of the Universe"

210
00:09:41,624 --> 00:09:44,758
by Dr. Vasily
Gregora-poli-popivich.

211
00:09:44,888 --> 00:09:46,673
W-Wait, so Amy
and Sheldon

212
00:09:46,803 --> 00:09:48,544
weren't the first
to think of super-asymmetry?

213
00:09:48,675 --> 00:09:50,851
No, doesn't look like it.
This is from 1978.

214
00:09:50,981 --> 00:09:54,463
Okay, well, they might need
to rename their theory

215
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:58,423
"The Cooper-Fowler
Gregora-poli-popivich Theory."

216
00:09:58,554 --> 00:09:59,990
Kind of rolls right off
your tongue, doesn't it?

217
00:10:01,992 --> 00:10:03,907
Sheldon is not gonna be
happy about this.

218
00:10:04,038 --> 00:10:06,649
Well, he's gonna be less happy
about this, uh...

219
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:09,260
"The super-asymmetric model

220
00:10:09,391 --> 00:10:11,828
"is inherently flawed

221
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:15,789
and does not bear the weight
of further examination." Hmm.

222
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,400
So this disproves their theory?

223
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:19,531
Sounds like it.

224
00:10:19,662 --> 00:10:21,751
Oh, how are we gonna tell him?

225
00:10:21,882 --> 00:10:24,667
That's easy. Just go up to him
and say, "Sheldon,

226
00:10:24,798 --> 00:10:26,669
Raj has something to tell you."

227
00:10:28,192 --> 00:10:30,542
Why do I have to tell him?

228
00:10:30,673 --> 00:10:31,892
You did find it.

229
00:10:32,022 --> 00:10:33,676
I fou-- but he's the one
who translated it.

230
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:36,287
Okay, okay, h-how about this?
We all tell him.

231
00:10:36,418 --> 00:10:37,767
Or even better: you tell him.

232
00:10:37,898 --> 00:10:41,510
Yeah, that makes the most sense.

233
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,904
You guys are such cowards.

234
00:10:44,034 --> 00:10:45,906
Yes, we are.

235
00:10:57,918 --> 00:10:59,441
Hey, Denise. Is Stuart here?

236
00:10:59,571 --> 00:11:00,790
Oh, no. Doctor's appointment.

237
00:11:00,921 --> 00:11:01,922
Oh, is he okay?

238
00:11:02,052 --> 00:11:04,446
Not since I've known him.

239
00:11:04,576 --> 00:11:07,536
Which brings up
an interesting question.

240
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:11,845
You and Stuart. Why?

241
00:11:11,975 --> 00:11:14,630
I don't know.
My parents owned a funeral home.

242
00:11:14,761 --> 00:11:16,501
Read into that what you will.

243
00:11:16,632 --> 00:11:19,113
What can I help you with?

244
00:11:19,243 --> 00:11:22,116
I was hoping Stuart could show
me how to play Fortnite.

245
00:11:22,246 --> 00:11:23,987
Mm, I can teach you.Really, you good?

246
00:11:24,118 --> 00:11:27,382
Look at my skin. I haven't been
outside in six years.

247
00:11:27,512 --> 00:11:28,818
So you'll coach me?

248
00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:31,168
Sure. Now let me ask
you a question.

249
00:11:31,299 --> 00:11:33,693
Howard. Why?

250
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:37,348
You got eyes--
what do you think?

251
00:11:41,526 --> 00:11:43,572
[sighs]

252
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,617
[groans]

253
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:50,797
[mutters]

254
00:11:54,452 --> 00:11:57,194
[groans, mutters]

255
00:11:59,936 --> 00:12:02,069
[groans]

256
00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:04,375
Wow, I really wish
I didn't see this.

257
00:12:04,506 --> 00:12:06,508
Oh, hey.

258
00:12:06,638 --> 00:12:09,337
I just need to give Sheldon
some bad news,

259
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:11,208
and I really don't want to.

260
00:12:11,339 --> 00:12:13,428
Oh, my God. Is everything okay?No, I-I found a paper

261
00:12:13,558 --> 00:12:15,430
that proves their theory wrong.

262
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,432
They thought this was gonna
be their Nobel Prize.

263
00:12:17,562 --> 00:12:18,912
It's gonna break his heart.

264
00:12:19,042 --> 00:12:22,350
Oh, man. Maybe leave
an anonymous note, you know,

265
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,352
like in high school,
when you want to let

266
00:12:24,482 --> 00:12:27,703
your best friend know that
her boyfriend's cheating on her.

267
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,401
Why wouldn't
you just tell her that?

268
00:12:30,532 --> 00:12:33,274
I don't know.
Maybe you had a hickey.

269
00:12:36,103 --> 00:12:37,844
I-Isn't it better
to get bad news from a friend?

270
00:12:37,974 --> 00:12:39,193
Trust me, it's not.

271
00:12:39,323 --> 00:12:41,543
I went to prom
with a hickey and a black eye.

272
00:12:43,066 --> 00:12:44,807
Come on, knock on the door.
You can do this.

273
00:12:44,938 --> 00:12:46,809
All right, a-all right,
here I go.

274
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:48,680
Oh, wait, just let me
get inside.

275
00:12:48,811 --> 00:12:50,334
Why?

276
00:12:50,465 --> 00:12:53,033
"Why"? Come on.

277
00:12:54,251 --> 00:12:55,905
[door closes]

278
00:12:57,951 --> 00:12:59,909
Oh, hey, Leonard.

279
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,215
Is the podcast too loud?

280
00:13:01,345 --> 00:13:02,564
I didn't hear a podcast.

281
00:13:02,694 --> 00:13:06,524
I told you no one could hear it.

282
00:13:06,655 --> 00:13:09,353
Well, I heard Ira Glass,
so he's either in your earbuds

283
00:13:09,484 --> 00:13:11,921
or clinging to the ceiling
like a gecko.

284
00:13:14,315 --> 00:13:17,231
Actually, I-I need to talk to
both of you about your paper.

285
00:13:17,361 --> 00:13:19,059
Oh, right,
how are the citations coming?

286
00:13:19,189 --> 00:13:20,582
Well, Raj and I were
chasing them down

287
00:13:20,712 --> 00:13:23,628
like you asked us to, and, um,

288
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:24,978
we came a-across a,

289
00:13:26,501 --> 00:13:29,417
a Russian paper that seems
to disprove super-asymmetry.

290
00:13:29,547 --> 00:13:31,767
Are you sure?

291
00:13:31,898 --> 00:13:34,901
Yeah, uh, Howard translated it.

292
00:13:36,337 --> 00:13:38,339
I'm so sorry.

293
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:43,605
Sheldon,
are you, are you all right?

294
00:13:43,735 --> 00:13:45,868
Oh, yes, of course.

295
00:13:45,999 --> 00:13:47,870
Thank you for telling us,
Leonard.

296
00:13:48,001 --> 00:13:49,045
I'm sure that wasn't easy.

297
00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:53,267
I guess we don't need
this anymore.

298
00:13:53,397 --> 00:13:56,052
[sighs]

299
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:07,847
[screams]

300
00:14:12,373 --> 00:14:16,986
So what are you listening to,
This American Life?

301
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:22,383
Okay, so walk up to
that chest and push X.

302
00:14:22,513 --> 00:14:24,515
X. Push X.

303
00:14:24,646 --> 00:14:25,690
Which one's X?

304
00:14:25,821 --> 00:14:28,824
The one with the X on it.

305
00:14:28,955 --> 00:14:30,347
Take it easy,
I'm new at this.

306
00:14:30,478 --> 00:14:32,697
What, the alphabet?

307
00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:34,917
You don't have to be snarky.

308
00:14:35,048 --> 00:14:36,136
Hey, do you want
to play the game,

309
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:37,441
or do you want to crawl back up

310
00:14:37,572 --> 00:14:40,488
your mommy's shirt
and chow down like a baby?

311
00:14:40,618 --> 00:14:42,925
Damn, what is wrong with you?

312
00:14:43,056 --> 00:14:44,840
I'm sorry, I thought you
wanted to beat your husband.

313
00:14:44,971 --> 00:14:46,537
I do.Well, then suck it up!

314
00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:48,191
Okay!

315
00:14:50,715 --> 00:14:52,717
[knocking on door]

316
00:14:55,111 --> 00:14:57,374
Hi.

317
00:14:57,505 --> 00:14:58,898
Can I do anything?

318
00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:01,683
No.

319
00:15:01,813 --> 00:15:04,338
I can make you some tea,
I-I could sing "Soft Kitty."

320
00:15:04,468 --> 00:15:06,688
I don't understand how
you're not more upset by this.

321
00:15:06,818 --> 00:15:07,863
This is your paper, too.

322
00:15:07,994 --> 00:15:10,866
I am upset, Sheldon.

323
00:15:10,997 --> 00:15:13,869
I'm just trying to hold
it together for you.

324
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,265
Like when that goose wouldn't
leave us alone at brunch.

325
00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:19,875
That thing scared you, too?

326
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:24,880
Well, of course it did.
I was wearing a down jacket.

327
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:27,361
Well, I don't need you
to pretend to be okay for me.

328
00:15:27,491 --> 00:15:28,623
If anything,
that makes it worse.

329
00:15:28,753 --> 00:15:33,236
Fine. I'm not okay.

330
00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:35,456
We came up with this idea
at our wedding.

331
00:15:35,586 --> 00:15:38,459
We poured months
of our lives into it.

332
00:15:38,589 --> 00:15:40,635
I thought we were changing
the course of science,

333
00:15:40,765 --> 00:15:44,030
and now it's all gone.
I'm devastated.

334
00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:47,337
I was wrong,
that makes it worse.

335
00:15:47,468 --> 00:15:48,556
Go back to being happy.

336
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:54,170
[gunfire over computer]

337
00:15:56,216 --> 00:15:57,391
Hey, guys.

338
00:15:57,521 --> 00:15:58,958
Hey.
Hey.

339
00:15:59,088 --> 00:16:01,221
You, uh, playing that,
what's it called again?

340
00:16:01,351 --> 00:16:03,788
Fortnow?

341
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:05,616
Fortnite.Right.

342
00:16:05,747 --> 00:16:08,010
I guess I forgot 'cause I only
played it that one time

343
00:16:08,141 --> 00:16:11,579
and I was so bad at it.

344
00:16:11,709 --> 00:16:13,929
Don't beat yourself up.
It's a hard game.

345
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:16,062
Would you mind if I gave it
another shot?

346
00:16:16,192 --> 00:16:17,628
Mm, maybe later, Berna...

347
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:20,283
Give me.

348
00:16:20,414 --> 00:16:23,678
Where are you, Howard,
where are you?

349
00:16:23,808 --> 00:16:27,595
Let me just build a little ramp,
get some height.

350
00:16:27,725 --> 00:16:31,773
You want to press B to go into
build-- oh, you already did it.

351
00:16:31,903 --> 00:16:34,167
Did I? I'm just hitting buttons.

352
00:16:34,297 --> 00:16:35,516
Wee!

353
00:16:37,648 --> 00:16:39,781
I see your ramp.
I'm coming for you.

354
00:16:39,911 --> 00:16:41,826
You can try, but...[explosion sound effect]

355
00:16:41,957 --> 00:16:43,263
Gotcha.
[chuckles]

356
00:16:43,393 --> 00:16:47,441
Son of a bitch.

357
00:16:47,571 --> 00:16:48,703
Want to play again?

358
00:16:48,833 --> 00:16:49,965
No!

359
00:16:52,141 --> 00:16:53,969
Howard.What?

360
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,493
I make more money than you.

361
00:16:59,714 --> 00:17:02,760
You got yourself
a good one there, buddy.

362
00:17:05,676 --> 00:17:08,114
So neither of them
showed up for work today?

363
00:17:08,244 --> 00:17:09,680
No, I tried calling
and no one picked up.

364
00:17:09,811 --> 00:17:11,117
Look, I'm sure
they're fine.

365
00:17:12,727 --> 00:17:13,119
They were probably up all night
coming up with a new theory.

366
00:17:14,511 --> 00:17:16,035
I-I also texted to see
if he wanted to go to the new

367
00:17:16,165 --> 00:17:18,602
Fantastic Beastsmovie
and he didn't respond.

368
00:17:18,733 --> 00:17:21,083
All right, well, they're already
dead. There's nothing we can do.

369
00:17:26,393 --> 00:17:28,830
SHELDON:
Come in.

370
00:17:33,226 --> 00:17:35,228
PENNY:
Hey...

371
00:17:35,358 --> 00:17:39,101
You guys look all comfy.
Did-did you take the day off?

372
00:17:39,232 --> 00:17:41,495
It's Saturday.

373
00:17:41,625 --> 00:17:43,671
No, it's not.

374
00:17:43,801 --> 00:17:47,501
Great, another thing
we're wrong about.

375
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:51,331
How many does
that make, Amy?

376
00:17:51,461 --> 00:17:54,769
Two.

377
00:17:54,899 --> 00:17:56,597
Two things.

378
00:17:56,727 --> 00:17:59,513
What happened to us?

379
00:17:59,643 --> 00:18:01,689
I'll tell you what happened.

380
00:18:01,819 --> 00:18:04,692
Professor Gregoropovich.

381
00:18:04,822 --> 00:18:07,347
I-I think it's
Gregora-poli-popivich, but...

382
00:18:13,831 --> 00:18:16,051
Three.

383
00:18:16,182 --> 00:18:20,055
Look, you guys, you had a,
you had a setback, you know?

384
00:18:20,186 --> 00:18:22,666
This is the time you got to
dig in and-and try harder.

385
00:18:22,797 --> 00:18:25,582
It's like halftime
and you're down by seven.

386
00:18:26,714 --> 00:18:27,889
What are you doing?

387
00:18:28,019 --> 00:18:29,064
All right,
it's-it's like

388
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,675
Bat-halftime and you're down
by Bat-seven.

389
00:18:33,242 --> 00:18:34,722
Let me try.

390
00:18:34,852 --> 00:18:37,333
You-you guys can't just give up.

391
00:18:37,464 --> 00:18:39,248
Uh, individually, you are
the smartest people I know.

392
00:18:39,379 --> 00:18:41,729
Together, you can do anything.

393
00:18:41,859 --> 00:18:43,774
I appreciate what you're trying
to do but please stop.

394
00:18:43,905 --> 00:18:46,081
You can't make this better.

395
00:18:46,212 --> 00:18:48,083
All right, Amy, listen...I'm with Sheldon.

396
00:18:48,214 --> 00:18:49,780
We worked our butts off
on this paper

397
00:18:49,911 --> 00:18:51,347
and it was all for nothing.

398
00:18:51,478 --> 00:18:53,567
And if you think
some pep talk can fix that,

399
00:18:53,697 --> 00:18:56,918
then you don't understand
how much this meant to us.

400
00:18:57,048 --> 00:18:58,224
Is there anything we can do?

401
00:18:58,354 --> 00:19:00,139
No.

402
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:01,749
Yeah-- wait.

403
00:19:01,879 --> 00:19:03,620
Do I smell Siam Palace?

404
00:19:03,751 --> 00:19:06,145
Oh, yeah, it's our dinner.

405
00:19:10,801 --> 00:19:13,326
I mean, it's yourdinner.

406
00:19:13,456 --> 00:19:16,111
Any mango sticky rice?

407
00:19:16,242 --> 00:19:17,243
PENNY:
No.

408
00:19:17,373 --> 00:19:19,723
And the blows keep coming.

409
00:19:26,774 --> 00:19:29,429
I see you. I see you...

410
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:30,952
and boom.[explosion sound effect]

411
00:19:31,082 --> 00:19:33,955
Gotcha! How's it feel, Penny?

412
00:19:34,085 --> 00:19:37,306
Like I don't care at all.

413
00:19:37,437 --> 00:19:40,048
Wrong, it feels bad because
you lost and I won.

414
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:42,181
Whoo! What a rush!

415
00:19:42,311 --> 00:19:44,487
All right, can we go eat now?

416
00:19:44,618 --> 00:19:45,532
Hell yeah.All right.

417
00:19:45,662 --> 00:19:46,750
Hey, how's it going?

418
00:19:46,881 --> 00:19:49,405
Boom!

419
00:19:50,711 --> 00:19:53,801
Okay, I'm-I'm gonna drive.
