1
00:00:02,611 --> 00:00:03,890
Can we start the movie?
2
00:00:04,405 --> 00:00:06,138
Before Sheldon gets here?
3
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:08,807
Last time we did that, he didn't
talk to us for a month.
4
00:00:08,809 --> 00:00:11,610
So do it!
5
00:00:11,612 --> 00:00:13,178
Hold on. Where is he?
6
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:16,381
Well, according to his text,
he was on the second floor,
7
00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:19,184
then he stopped
to tie his shoe.
8
00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:22,788
All tied, and...
9
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:24,656
Hello!
Hi.
10
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:26,091
Sorry we're late.
11
00:00:26,093 --> 00:00:29,561
Amy took forever
tying my shoe.
12
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:30,829
All right!
13
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:32,798
Who's excited
to see a documentary?
14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,099
Oh, I know this one.
15
00:00:34,101 --> 00:00:35,300
Nobody ever.
16
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:37,669
Hey! This one's
going to be great.
17
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:38,871
This is about the rivalry
18
00:00:38,873 --> 00:00:41,406
between a cool renegade
scientist, Nikola Tesla,
19
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:43,775
and his arch-nemesis,
Thomas Edison.
20
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:45,777
It's the greatest
scientific feud of all time.
21
00:00:45,779 --> 00:00:48,647
I mean, you can forget
about Leibniz and Newton.
22
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:50,015
Done.
23
00:00:50,017 --> 00:00:53,886
So, Tesla's the one
that invented the electric car?
24
00:00:55,289 --> 00:00:56,655
No, Penny.
25
00:00:56,657 --> 00:00:59,358
No, the car is just
named after him.
26
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,059
Okay, you don't have to be
so smug about it.
27
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,694
You know, you went
to see that movie It
28
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:05,330
because you thought
it was about scary I.T. guys.
29
00:01:07,601 --> 00:01:10,602
Tesla was a genius who
invented our electrical grid.
30
00:01:10,604 --> 00:01:12,738
Edison just wanted to
get rich and famous.
31
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:14,339
Didn't he invent the lightbulb?
32
00:01:14,341 --> 00:01:16,008
That's what
he wants you to think.
33
00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:18,143
But without the foundational
work of Ebenezer Kinnersley,
34
00:01:18,145 --> 00:01:20,545
Warren de la Rue
and James Bowman Lindsay,
35
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:22,648
you wouldn't know Edison
any more than you know
36
00:01:22,650 --> 00:01:25,817
Ebenezer Kinnersley, Warren de
la Rue or James Bowman Lindsay.
37
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:29,955
Isn't he sexy
all fired up?
38
00:01:29,957 --> 00:01:31,890
He really gets
my current alternating,
39
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:34,526
if you know what I mean.
40
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:37,529
Edison was kind of a
publicity hog and a bully.
41
00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:39,298
Yeah, he electrocuted
an elephant named Topsy
42
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:40,565
just to make himself famous.
43
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,167
If I had an elephant
named Topsy,
44
00:01:42,169 --> 00:01:43,669
he would want for nothing.
45
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:47,472
Also, he'd be named Jumbo.
46
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:51,009
And worse than that, Edison
filmed the first on-screen kiss,
47
00:01:51,011 --> 00:01:54,346
so he's basically
a pornographer.
48
00:01:55,349 --> 00:01:57,082
Although every time
I put that in Wikipedia,
49
00:01:57,084 --> 00:02:00,185
someone takes it out.
50
00:02:00,187 --> 00:02:02,721
Is your current
still alternating?
51
00:02:02,723 --> 00:02:05,958
We're lucky there aren't
any elephants in here.

@elder_man
62
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:33,318
You know, that documentary
last night was actually
63
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,490
better than I
thought it would be.
64
00:02:34,514 --> 00:02:35,621
Really?
65
00:02:35,622 --> 00:02:37,389
Should've been about
Samuel Morse
66
00:02:37,391 --> 00:02:40,192
the way they telegraphed
that ending.
67
00:02:40,194 --> 00:02:42,194
I already pretended to laugh
at that joke once.
68
00:02:42,196 --> 00:02:44,196
Do I have to do it again?
69
00:02:44,198 --> 00:02:46,665
Yeah, I'd appreciate it.
70
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:50,368
Samuel Morse. You kill me.
71
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:54,973
Leonard, can you
drive me to work?
72
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:56,508
Yeah, sure.
Oh, hey, the guys and I
73
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,210
were talking about
going to see the Tesla coil
74
00:02:58,212 --> 00:03:00,478
at the observatory later on,
if you want to join.
75
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,614
Oh, I'm sorry, I can't.
I'm busy.
76
00:03:02,616 --> 00:03:05,050
Why? What are you doing?
Leonard, what are you doing?
77
00:03:05,052 --> 00:03:07,852
He said he can't go.
Make a sad face, move on.
78
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:09,821
It's fine.
79
00:03:09,823 --> 00:03:11,890
I couldn't tell you
even if I wanted to.
80
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:13,358
What does that mean?
Leonard!
81
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,827
Sad face, sad face.
82
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:18,797
I mean, I would like to,
but I just can't, you know,
83
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:20,999
because it's classified
and top secret.
84
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:23,835
Hold on, are you still
working for the military?
85
00:03:23,837 --> 00:03:25,136
I'm so glad
you figured that out!
86
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:27,305
It was killing me
keeping it a secret!
87
00:03:27,307 --> 00:03:28,940
I thought they
fired you guys.
88
00:03:28,942 --> 00:03:31,076
They did,
but then they hired me back.
89
00:03:31,078 --> 00:03:32,944
Well, you better not be
working on our project,
90
00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:34,079
because we're a team.
91
00:03:34,081 --> 00:03:37,249
Leonard, there is
no "I" in team.
92
00:03:37,251 --> 00:03:38,650
However,
there is an "I" in
93
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:42,287
"I'm working with the military
and you're not."
94
00:03:42,289 --> 00:03:44,489
There's five of them, in fact.
95
00:03:47,794 --> 00:03:49,628
Hey, hey.
96
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:51,329
I got a big surprise for you.
97
00:03:51,331 --> 00:03:53,498
Is it pie and ice cream?
98
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,301
Wow, did I oversell it.
99
00:03:56,303 --> 00:03:57,969
It's Raj and Ruchi!
100
00:03:57,971 --> 00:03:59,571
Hello.
101
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:00,805
Hey. Hi.
102
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:02,073
Hey, what are
you two doing here?
103
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:03,108
We won't stay long.
104
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:04,776
I just wanted
to drop something off
105
00:04:04,778 --> 00:04:06,344
from me and the girls at work.
106
00:04:06,346 --> 00:04:09,381
None of the girls at work
like me enough to get me a gift.
107
00:04:09,383 --> 00:04:11,383
Okay, so you'll know
why everyone at the office
108
00:04:11,385 --> 00:04:13,051
has the same handwriting.
109
00:04:13,053 --> 00:04:15,553
I really appreciate
the thought,
110
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:17,956
but it's not necessary.
I'll be back soon.
111
00:04:17,958 --> 00:04:20,725
Don't worry about work.
You take all the time you need.
112
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:22,494
Yeah, just turn
off your brain
113
00:04:22,496 --> 00:04:24,863
and let your uterus
do its magic.
114
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,000
It's the star
of the show now.
115
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:33,071
Okay, wasn't sure how long
I should let you guys stay.
116
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:35,640
Now I know!
Get out!
117
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:37,709
Good to see you.
You look amazing.
118
00:04:37,711 --> 00:04:39,611
Thanks for coming!
119
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:43,348
That bitch.
120
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:45,417
Oh, come on, he means well.
121
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:48,420
He's just trying
to impress his girlfriend.
122
00:04:48,422 --> 00:04:50,455
I'm talking about Ruchi.
123
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:51,956
She's after my job.
124
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,893
Why do you think she said,
"Take all the time you need"?
125
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:57,495
Because she was being nice?
126
00:04:57,497 --> 00:05:00,565
No, she's trying to steal
my projects while I'm at home
127
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:04,336
taking care of this useless
plant and my dumb family.
128
00:05:04,338 --> 00:05:08,039
I'm only saying this
because I love you
129
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:10,275
and because you can't
reach me from that bed,
130
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:12,477
but you sound a little crazy.
131
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:15,680
I love you, too, but I could
fling this card in your eye
132
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:18,583
like a ninja throwing star.
133
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:20,385
I don't believe you.
134
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:28,660
Why would the military
want Sheldon?
135
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:32,030
I don't know. Target practice?
136
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,933
Well, he better not be
working on our guidance system.
137
00:05:34,935 --> 00:05:36,434
That was my idea.
138
00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:37,802
Why don't we call
Colonel Williams
139
00:05:37,804 --> 00:05:39,471
and find out
what's going on.
140
00:05:39,473 --> 00:05:42,507
Great. I want answers
and he'd better give them to us.
141
00:05:44,911 --> 00:05:46,044
Hello, gentlemen.
142
00:05:46,046 --> 00:05:49,147
Hi, sir.
Um, Leonard has a question.
143
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:54,185
Hey, is Sheldon working on
our project again?
144
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:55,687
Did he say that?
145
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:56,955
No, he wouldn't tell us.
146
00:05:56,957 --> 00:06:01,659
Huh. So he can
keep his mouth shut.
147
00:06:01,661 --> 00:06:03,762
How do I get him to do that?
148
00:06:03,764 --> 00:06:07,432
Is he working on
our guidance system or not?
149
00:06:07,434 --> 00:06:10,568
Dr. Cooper contacted us
with an idea on how to modify
150
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:13,104
your technology into
a communication system,
151
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:14,506
and it seemed interesting.
152
00:06:14,508 --> 00:06:18,109
But our team developed
that technology.
153
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:19,711
And he was your team leader.
154
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:21,346
Well, who said
he was team leader?
155
00:06:21,348 --> 00:06:22,747
He did.
156
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,351
And I like that kind of
"take charge" attitude.
157
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:28,553
We can have "take
charge" attitudes.
158
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:31,089
Then why didn't either of you
ask to be team leader?
159
00:06:31,091 --> 00:06:33,691
We didn't want to step
on anyone's toes.
160
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:35,560
Yeah, so we were just
161
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:39,664
waiting for you to tell us who
you thought-- Okay, I hear it.
162
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:43,368
- Are we done?
- No, no.
163
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:46,137
I am taking charge right
now and telling you
164
00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:47,605
that it is not okay
with us if...
165
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:50,408
Okay, bye.
166
00:06:53,547 --> 00:06:55,947
Hey. I just got your text.
Everything okay?
167
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:58,750
Yeah, there's just something
I need to ask you.
168
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,519
Oh, Bernie,
I'd be thrilled.
169
00:07:01,521 --> 00:07:03,688
It's not be my birth coach.
170
00:07:03,690 --> 00:07:07,292
Okay, that hurts, but luckily I
know how to breathe through it.
171
00:07:11,331 --> 00:07:14,199
I need you to find out
if Ruchi's trying to steal
172
00:07:14,201 --> 00:07:16,334
my projects at work
while I'm on bed rest.
173
00:07:16,336 --> 00:07:19,037
She's not that
kind of a person.
174
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,840
She's-she's generous
and charitable.
175
00:07:21,842 --> 00:07:23,942
You're just saying that
'cause she's sleeping with you.
176
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,478
Yes, that's my favorite charity.
177
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,416
I know I sound paranoid, but
I'm feeling really vulnerable.
178
00:07:31,418 --> 00:07:33,818
If there's anything you could
find out, it'd be great.
179
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:37,856
And if she is up to anything,
what are you gonna do?
180
00:07:37,858 --> 00:07:39,357
Nothing.
181
00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:41,059
I'll just calmly
talk to her and explain
182
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:43,561
there are certain boundaries
that need to be respected.
183
00:07:43,563 --> 00:07:47,565
It's really for the benefit
of everyone at the company.
184
00:07:49,402 --> 00:07:52,704
Uh, okay, what you're saying
sounds nice,
185
00:07:52,706 --> 00:07:54,305
but the way you're saying it
186
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:58,042
is causing my testicles
to take cover in my abdomen.
187
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:02,347
What do you want to watch?
188
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:03,948
Oh, why don't you pick.
189
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:05,850
Okay, how about comedy?
190
00:08:05,852 --> 00:08:08,653
Eh, I already laughed today.
191
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:12,790
I know. It was when
I stubbed my toe.
192
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:14,692
Still funny.
193
00:08:14,694 --> 00:08:17,028
Drama?
194
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:19,097
Nah, I've already
seen someone cry today.
195
00:08:19,099 --> 00:08:21,266
It really hurt, Sheldon!
196
00:08:22,435 --> 00:08:24,002
Hey.
197
00:08:24,004 --> 00:08:25,770
We talked to
Colonel Williams.
198
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:27,038
He told us everything.
199
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,640
I'm sorry, can we do this
another time?
200
00:08:28,642 --> 00:08:32,777
Amy's just about to realize she
wants to watch a Hulk marathon.
201
00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:34,112
What's going on?
202
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:37,081
Sheldon went to the Air
Force behind our backs.
203
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:38,716
I did nothing of the sort.
204
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:40,084
I had an idea
205
00:08:40,086 --> 00:08:41,819
for a neutrino-based
communication system,
206
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:44,489
I presented it to them,
and they were interested.
207
00:08:44,491 --> 00:08:46,424
But y-your
communication system
208
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:48,526
was based on our
guidance system.
209
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,395
And sonar is based on bats.
210
00:08:50,397 --> 00:08:52,297
You don't see them
hanging upside down
211
00:08:52,299 --> 00:08:54,432
in a patent attorney's office.
212
00:08:54,434 --> 00:08:57,702
You know what, you like to think
that you're just like Tesla,
213
00:08:57,704 --> 00:09:00,071
but the truth is
you're exactly like Edison.
214
00:09:00,073 --> 00:09:01,506
You take that back.
215
00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:03,441
No, he's right.
216
00:09:03,443 --> 00:09:06,911
You are a bully, a credit
hog and a self-promoter.
217
00:09:06,913 --> 00:09:11,649
And if anyone around here
is like Tesla, it's us.
218
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,987
Yeah.
219
00:09:18,692 --> 00:09:21,492
Can you believe they said
I was just like Edison?
220
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:24,429
Yeah, and in front of
a lady, no less.
221
00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:26,531
Well, you are
building on their work
222
00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:28,032
and taking the
credit for it.
223
00:09:28,034 --> 00:09:29,467
That's a classic
Edison move.
224
00:09:29,469 --> 00:09:31,235
Oh, yeah?
225
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:33,271
Well, if I'm Edison
and you love me,
226
00:09:33,273 --> 00:09:35,206
then what does that say
about you?
227
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:36,941
I honestly don't know.
228
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:38,710
Okay.
229
00:09:38,712 --> 00:09:41,012
Well, I have to Google
some stuff about Mrs. Edison.
230
00:09:41,014 --> 00:09:43,181
I'll be right back.
231
00:09:47,749 --> 00:09:49,148
You know whose fault this is?
232
00:09:49,150 --> 00:09:50,116
I do.
233
00:09:50,118 --> 00:09:51,718
Yours.
234
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,920
No, my mother's.
235
00:09:53,922 --> 00:09:56,489
"Go make friends, Sheldon."
236
00:09:57,359 --> 00:09:58,458
What happens?
237
00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:00,460
20 years later,
they call me names.
238
00:10:00,462 --> 00:10:04,364
I don't think what they
called you is the point here.
239
00:10:04,366 --> 00:10:06,432
Oh, yeah?
How would you feel
240
00:10:06,434 --> 00:10:09,669
if I called you the name of a
neuroscientist you didn't like?
241
00:10:09,671 --> 00:10:12,005
Do you know the name
of any neuroscientist?
242
00:10:12,007 --> 00:10:13,473
Of course.
243
00:10:13,475 --> 00:10:14,807
Not me?
244
00:10:14,809 --> 00:10:18,211
Then no.
245
00:10:18,213 --> 00:10:21,014
Do you think they're right, Amy?
246
00:10:22,183 --> 00:10:24,884
Do you think I'm like Edison?
247
00:10:24,886 --> 00:10:28,821
Sheldon, I don't
think you're upset
248
00:10:28,823 --> 00:10:31,991
because of what kind of
scientist they said you're like.
249
00:10:31,993 --> 00:10:33,659
I think you're
upset because
250
00:10:33,661 --> 00:10:35,728
your friend's
feelings got hurt.
251
00:10:35,730 --> 00:10:38,898
You're right.
252
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:41,901
I care too much about
other people's feelings.
253
00:10:43,438 --> 00:10:46,205
It's always been my fatal flaw.
254
00:10:46,207 --> 00:10:48,841
Sheldon, I
don't think...
255
00:10:48,843 --> 00:10:51,644
No, no, not now, Amy.
I'm growing as a person.
256
00:10:54,015 --> 00:10:56,783
Ah, that was fun.
257
00:10:56,785 --> 00:10:59,452
Put her there, buddy.
258
00:10:59,454 --> 00:11:02,789
I am not fist bumping
you after we have sex.
259
00:11:02,791 --> 00:11:05,491
You're the one who wanted
to keep things casual.
260
00:11:05,493 --> 00:11:08,094
There's a difference
between casual and weird.
261
00:11:08,096 --> 00:11:10,396
Not the way I do it.
262
00:11:12,233 --> 00:11:15,902
So, um... how was,
how was your day?
263
00:11:15,904 --> 00:11:18,104
Like, how's-how's work?
264
00:11:18,106 --> 00:11:19,605
Oh, great.
265
00:11:19,607 --> 00:11:21,007
With Bernadette gone,
266
00:11:21,009 --> 00:11:23,342
I'm getting to handle
all her projects.
267
00:11:23,344 --> 00:11:25,011
Well, she's-she's not gone.
268
00:11:25,013 --> 00:11:26,479
She'll be back soon.
269
00:11:26,481 --> 00:11:29,615
Not too soon, let's hope.
270
00:11:30,985 --> 00:11:33,319
So it turns out Ruchi is totally
271
00:11:33,321 --> 00:11:35,054
trying to take over
Bernadette's projects.
272
00:11:35,056 --> 00:11:37,123
Wow, she just told you
that out of the blue?
273
00:11:37,125 --> 00:11:38,925
Yeah, yeah,
we had just made love.
274
00:11:38,927 --> 00:11:40,960
It was so beautiful.
275
00:11:41,930 --> 00:11:43,429
Our caramel-colored bodies
276
00:11:43,431 --> 00:11:45,865
were entwined like
erotic taffy...
277
00:11:45,867 --> 00:11:47,700
Get to the point!
Oh.
278
00:11:47,702 --> 00:11:49,335
Uh, sorry, uh, yeah.
279
00:11:49,337 --> 00:11:51,904
I-I asked her about work,
and she just admitted
280
00:11:51,906 --> 00:11:53,940
she has her eyes
on Bernadette's projects.
281
00:11:53,942 --> 00:11:55,108
Can't believe she
would take advantage
282
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:56,375
of a pregnant
lady like that.
283
00:11:56,377 --> 00:11:57,477
So what did you do?
284
00:11:57,479 --> 00:11:58,945
What do you think I did?
285
00:11:58,947 --> 00:12:02,215
I made small talk for 20 minutes
and had sex again.
286
00:12:02,217 --> 00:12:04,750
You have to say
something to Bernie.
287
00:12:04,752 --> 00:12:07,086
I don't know. If I do that,
she's gonna confront Ruchi,
288
00:12:07,088 --> 00:12:09,455
and then Ruchi's gonna
stop sleeping with me.
289
00:12:09,457 --> 00:12:11,157
Raj, you can't go on
sleeping with a woman
290
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:12,525
who's trying to screw
over your friend.
291
00:12:12,527 --> 00:12:15,795
Can't or must?
292
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:20,233
You know, that guidance system
was my idea.
293
00:12:20,235 --> 00:12:21,534
You figured out
how to make it work.
294
00:12:21,536 --> 00:12:22,935
We didn't even need Sheldon.
295
00:12:22,937 --> 00:12:25,771
Let's not forget your idea
was based on my theory.
296
00:12:25,773 --> 00:12:29,408
Hey, we're bagging
on Sheldon here! Focus!
297
00:12:30,578 --> 00:12:33,546
I guess it was pretty smart
using our quantum technology
298
00:12:33,548 --> 00:12:35,548
as the basis for
a communication system.
299
00:12:35,550 --> 00:12:38,484
Be even better if he swapped out
the helium for xenon.
300
00:12:38,486 --> 00:12:42,188
Ooh. So instead of having to
keep it at negative 271 degrees,
301
00:12:42,190 --> 00:12:44,290
you'd only have to keep it
at negative 108.
302
00:12:44,292 --> 00:12:45,658
It would be way more efficient.
303
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:47,760
And xenon has a bigger nucleus,
304
00:12:47,762 --> 00:12:50,563
so coherence would make it
an easier signal to see.
305
00:12:50,565 --> 00:12:51,797
You're brilliant!
306
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:52,832
We should tell Sheldon.
307
00:12:52,834 --> 00:12:54,433
You're an idiot!
308
00:12:55,403 --> 00:12:56,569
We don't tell Sheldon.
309
00:12:56,571 --> 00:12:58,137
We go to the military
behind his back
310
00:12:58,139 --> 00:13:00,173
and we screw him
like he screwed us.
311
00:13:00,175 --> 00:13:01,574
All right, you're right,
you're right, we don't need him.
312
00:13:01,576 --> 00:13:02,708
We can do this all on our own.
313
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:03,666
Do you think
you can do the math?
314
00:13:03,690 --> 00:13:04,917
No.
315
00:13:07,015 --> 00:13:08,214
But if someone else does it,
316
00:13:08,216 --> 00:13:11,617
I can double check
the crap out of it.
317
00:13:12,820 --> 00:13:15,888
I want you to know,
I did what you asked.
318
00:13:15,890 --> 00:13:18,824
I talked to Ruchi and found out
what's going on at work.
319
00:13:18,826 --> 00:13:20,860
So is she trying
to steal my projects?
320
00:13:20,862 --> 00:13:22,662
No, not trying to,
sounds like it's a done deal.
321
00:13:22,664 --> 00:13:23,829
Here, have a brownie.
322
00:13:23,831 --> 00:13:26,065
I'm gonna kill her.
323
00:13:26,067 --> 00:13:27,934
Okay, don't take this
out on Ruchi.
324
00:13:27,936 --> 00:13:30,036
Is she trying to
take your job? Yes.
325
00:13:30,038 --> 00:13:31,537
Is she parking
in your space? Yes.
326
00:13:31,539 --> 00:13:33,573
Did she get a laugh
at a meeting yesterday
327
00:13:33,575 --> 00:13:35,875
by calling you "Pregnadette"?
Big one.
328
00:13:37,245 --> 00:13:40,680
But you would've done the exact
same thing, and you know it.
329
00:13:40,682 --> 00:13:43,082
I never would've
undermined a coworker.
330
00:13:43,084 --> 00:13:45,284
What? Oh, please.
Wh-What about that guy Eric,
331
00:13:45,286 --> 00:13:47,954
who you told it was
"Bring Your Cat to Work Day"
332
00:13:47,956 --> 00:13:50,756
when you knew
your boss had asthma?
333
00:13:50,758 --> 00:13:53,059
That was just a hilarious prank
334
00:13:53,061 --> 00:13:56,562
that ended with me
getting a corner office.
335
00:13:56,564 --> 00:13:58,564
All I'm saying is
336
00:13:58,566 --> 00:14:00,166
before you attack Ruchi,
maybe you should
337
00:14:00,168 --> 00:14:02,101
take a long hard look
in the mirror,
338
00:14:02,103 --> 00:14:03,536
because you know
what you'll see--
339
00:14:03,538 --> 00:14:06,105
apart from radiant skin
and luxuriously thick hair?
340
00:14:06,107 --> 00:14:07,607
Hypocrisy!
341
00:14:13,214 --> 00:14:16,215
It is thick.
342
00:14:17,385 --> 00:14:19,652
So what do you think?
Can you make it work?
343
00:14:19,654 --> 00:14:21,821
Uh, I just need to
use the cross section
344
00:14:21,823 --> 00:14:24,490
to calculate the probability
of the interaction.
345
00:14:24,492 --> 00:14:25,891
Can we help?
346
00:14:25,893 --> 00:14:27,226
Yes.
347
00:14:27,228 --> 00:14:29,962
Why don't you run
get me a can of Pringles.
348
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,266
Leonard, I was--
349
00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:35,835
What's Kripke doing here?
350
00:14:35,837 --> 00:14:37,970
Oh, he's just helping us
develop a better, more efficient
351
00:14:37,972 --> 00:14:40,172
neutrino comm system that we're
gonna pitch to the military,
352
00:14:40,174 --> 00:14:41,340
making yours obsolete.
353
00:14:41,342 --> 00:14:42,441
Yeah,
Leonard thought of it.
354
00:14:42,443 --> 00:14:43,876
It's genius.
Oh, thanks.
355
00:14:43,878 --> 00:14:45,711
You see, instead of
using liquid helium...
356
00:14:45,713 --> 00:14:48,014
Good God, man, shut up!
Right, sorry.
357
00:14:48,016 --> 00:14:49,482
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
358
00:14:49,484 --> 00:14:51,651
You didn't tell me
we were doing this
359
00:14:51,653 --> 00:14:53,119
just to stick it to Sheldon.
360
00:14:53,121 --> 00:14:54,854
Oh, well...
361
00:14:54,856 --> 00:14:58,257
I messing with you. This sundae
just got a cherry on top!
362
00:14:59,594 --> 00:15:02,328
Fine. Good luck to you.
363
00:15:02,330 --> 00:15:04,397
The military is already
interested in my system,
364
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:05,898
and my math is worked out.
365
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,600
His still has a big gap in it.
366
00:15:07,602 --> 00:15:08,934
Where?
367
00:15:09,771 --> 00:15:11,604
There.
368
00:15:14,976 --> 00:15:17,643
- - Can I ask you a question?
Mm?
369
00:15:17,645 --> 00:15:20,279
Does a drug still count
as an antidepressant
370
00:15:20,281 --> 00:15:24,483
if its number one side effect
is uncontrollable weeping?
371
00:15:24,485 --> 00:15:29,088
I don't know. I always feel
better after a good cry.
372
00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:30,589
I've been trying
to ask Bernadette,
373
00:15:30,591 --> 00:15:33,159
but she's not answering
any of my texts.
374
00:15:33,161 --> 00:15:35,261
Yeah, uh, listen,
I think she might be
375
00:15:35,263 --> 00:15:37,096
a little threatened
by you, you know,
376
00:15:37,098 --> 00:15:40,366
because you can tie your own
shoes and laugh without peeing.
377
00:15:40,368 --> 00:15:42,335
Did she say something to you?
378
00:15:42,337 --> 00:15:43,869
No.
379
00:15:43,871 --> 00:15:45,604
I mean, well, kind of.
380
00:15:45,606 --> 00:15:47,106
But it's okay.
She's just hormonal.
381
00:15:47,108 --> 00:15:49,175
And, you know, don't worry,
I stood up for you.
382
00:15:49,177 --> 00:15:51,744
I don't need you
to stand up for me.
383
00:15:51,746 --> 00:15:53,145
You're not my boyfriend.
384
00:15:53,147 --> 00:15:55,281
Look, I care about you,
385
00:15:55,283 --> 00:15:57,983
and you can say that
this doesn't mean anything,
386
00:15:57,985 --> 00:15:59,752
but the truth is we're in
a relationship, okay?
387
00:15:59,754 --> 00:16:02,421
And you're gonna have to figure
out some way to deal with it.
388
00:16:03,491 --> 00:16:07,426
I can't believe
she dumped me.
389
00:16:07,428 --> 00:16:09,995
This is tough for
me, 'cause I can.
390
00:16:14,936 --> 00:16:17,937
Sorry things worked
out like that.
391
00:16:17,939 --> 00:16:21,207
Because I'm in pain or because
you don't have a spy anymore?
392
00:16:21,209 --> 00:16:22,842
Let's just leave
it at "I'm sorry."
393
00:16:22,844 --> 00:16:25,778
You're already sad.
394
00:16:26,948 --> 00:16:29,048
Based on Kripke's
calculations,
395
00:16:29,050 --> 00:16:30,716
I think this
is gonna work.
396
00:16:30,718 --> 00:16:32,651
Maybe we should pitch it
to Colonel Williams today.
397
00:16:32,653 --> 00:16:34,720
Why limit ourselves
to the U.S. military?
398
00:16:34,722 --> 00:16:37,323
I bet there's a lot of
other places we could take this.
399
00:16:37,325 --> 00:16:39,692
Without committing
criminal espionage?
400
00:16:39,694 --> 00:16:42,595
You know, it's easy
to shoot an idea down, Leonard.
401
00:16:44,098 --> 00:16:47,066
Well, I suppose
congratulations are in order.
402
00:16:47,068 --> 00:16:50,069
You set out to destroy me,
and you achieved your goal.
403
00:16:50,071 --> 00:16:51,203
What are you talking about?
404
00:16:51,205 --> 00:16:52,972
The military
canceled my project,
405
00:16:52,974 --> 00:16:54,740
because they're
going with yours.
406
00:16:54,742 --> 00:16:58,043
That's impossible.
We haven't even pitched it yet.
407
00:16:58,045 --> 00:17:00,079
Well, Colonel Williams said
another team at Caltech
408
00:17:00,081 --> 00:17:02,548
came up with a more efficient
neutrino comm system.
409
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:03,749
Damn it!
410
00:17:05,286 --> 00:17:07,353
Excuse us.
411
00:17:07,355 --> 00:17:09,021
Kripke.
412
00:17:09,023 --> 00:17:11,257
What's up, fellas?
413
00:17:11,259 --> 00:17:12,558
Did you screw us over?
414
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,293
Ooh, I can't tell you that.
415
00:17:14,295 --> 00:17:16,128
It's classified.
416
00:17:21,757 --> 00:17:24,290
Why did you tell
Barry Kripke your idea?
417
00:17:24,292 --> 00:17:25,658
This is all your fault.
418
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:26,893
No, it's your fault.
419
00:17:26,895 --> 00:17:28,561
If you would've come to us
in the beginning,
420
00:17:28,563 --> 00:17:30,063
none of this would've happened.
421
00:17:30,065 --> 00:17:31,865
Well, if it helps,
you all behaved terribly
422
00:17:31,867 --> 00:17:33,800
and you deserve
what you got.
423
00:17:33,802 --> 00:17:36,536
Well, that doesn't help at all.
424
00:17:36,538 --> 00:17:39,773
You know, sometimes your
social skills are very poor.
425
00:17:40,842 --> 00:17:44,544
Can't believe we let
Kripke use us like that.
426
00:17:44,546 --> 00:17:46,579
You know, maybe you're all
more like the guy
427
00:17:46,581 --> 00:17:49,182
who didn't invent
the electric car
428
00:17:49,184 --> 00:17:53,987
and less like the guy
who didn't invent the lightbulb.
429
00:17:57,092 --> 00:18:01,361
She's right. Maybe we're all
a bunch of Teslas after all.
430
00:18:01,363 --> 00:18:04,731
Didn't Tesla die penniless,
forgotten and insane?
431
00:18:04,733 --> 00:18:08,101
You may have a point
about her social skills.
432
00:18:09,037 --> 00:18:10,403
He wasn't insane.
433
00:18:10,405 --> 00:18:12,806
He did fall in love
with a pigeon.
434
00:18:12,808 --> 00:18:14,307
Well, if we're gonna
call Tesla crazy
435
00:18:14,309 --> 00:18:16,075
for loving something
small and unappealing,
436
00:18:16,077 --> 00:18:18,344
might as well put Penny
in a padded cell right now.
437
