1
00:00:00,962 --> 00:00:02,582
Previously on
The Big Bang Theory...
2
00:00:02,784 --> 00:00:04,979
So I told my mom
she just needed to back off.
3
00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:06,896
This is our wedding,
and if anyone's gonna
4
00:00:06,897 --> 00:00:10,332
design the floral arrangements,
it's going to be my man.
5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,367
Thank you.
6
00:00:12,856 --> 00:00:15,089
I mean, I-I'm not trying
to be a Groomzilla,
7
00:00:15,158 --> 00:00:17,592
but... this is my specialty.
8
00:00:19,329 --> 00:00:20,695
(phone chimes)
9
00:00:20,764 --> 00:00:22,178
Everything okay?
10
00:00:22,179 --> 00:00:23,845
Yeah, it's just
Anu's doorbell camera.
11
00:00:23,914 --> 00:00:25,380
I helped her install it.
12
00:00:25,449 --> 00:00:27,182
You can't look at it.
That's spying.
13
00:00:27,251 --> 00:00:28,550
Who the hell is this guy?
14
00:00:28,619 --> 00:00:29,651
Ooh, let me see.
15
00:00:31,522 --> 00:00:33,488
So you're still talking
to your ex-boyfriend?
16
00:00:33,557 --> 00:00:35,390
Yes, and I'm not gonna
apologize for that.
17
00:00:35,459 --> 00:00:37,726
And you need to delete
that app from your phone.
18
00:00:37,794 --> 00:00:39,361
Because you're hiding
something from me?
19
00:00:39,429 --> 00:00:40,896
No, because you
should trust me!
20
00:00:40,964 --> 00:00:43,999
How can I trust you?!
I barely even know you!
21
00:00:44,067 --> 00:00:45,734
Then what are we doing?
22
00:00:45,802 --> 00:00:47,369
I don't know.
23
00:00:49,706 --> 00:00:51,139
- Oh!
DENISE: Aah,
24
00:00:51,208 --> 00:00:52,941
sad man!
25
00:00:55,145 --> 00:00:56,611
This is so great.
26
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,046
Why don't we do it
more often?
27
00:00:58,115 --> 00:00:59,881
Because you have two kids,
28
00:00:59,950 --> 00:01:01,149
I have Sheldon,
29
00:01:01,218 --> 00:01:03,084
and Penny's apparently
in the gym all the time,
30
00:01:03,153 --> 00:01:04,986
'cause damn, look at her!
31
00:01:06,223 --> 00:01:07,722
Yeah, so impressive
how you manage
32
00:01:07,791 --> 00:01:10,192
to bounce back
after having no babies.
33
00:01:11,562 --> 00:01:13,862
Ah, another reason why
we don't do this more often.
34
00:01:15,299 --> 00:01:17,499
You've come
to a giant metal door.
35
00:01:17,568 --> 00:01:21,002
I check the door
for traps.
36
00:01:21,071 --> 00:01:23,004
There are no traps.
37
00:01:23,073 --> 00:01:24,206
I use my wizard eye
38
00:01:24,274 --> 00:01:26,641
to see what's on the
other side of the door.
39
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:29,244
Hey, that's sort of like how
you used a doorbell camera
40
00:01:29,313 --> 00:01:31,980
to spy on your fiancée.
41
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:34,950
No, it's nothing like that.
42
00:01:35,018 --> 00:01:36,918
Your wizard eye
reveals a monster.
43
00:01:36,987 --> 00:01:39,454
- Oh. Is it alone and unloved?
- I guess.
44
00:01:39,523 --> 00:01:42,490
I open the door and say,
"Hey, Raj."
45
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:45,794
I have a bottle
of champagne for you.
46
00:01:45,862 --> 00:01:47,362
Oh, we didn't order this.
47
00:01:47,431 --> 00:01:49,831
It's from the gentleman
at the end of the bar.
48
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,434
Oh. Well, if we drink it,
does that mean
49
00:01:52,502 --> 00:01:54,002
we're making a promise?
50
00:01:54,071 --> 00:01:56,972
'Cause I am happily married,
although I will watch.
51
00:01:58,342 --> 00:02:00,475
We're not gonna do anything.
52
00:02:00,544 --> 00:02:03,178
Really?
So all that work's for Leonard?
53
00:02:05,249 --> 00:02:07,082
Why don't you just
call her? I'm sure
54
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:08,383
you guys can work this out.
55
00:02:08,452 --> 00:02:10,163
I don't want to talk about it.
Let's just play.
56
00:02:10,187 --> 00:02:11,386
Okay, the cyclops tells you
57
00:02:11,455 --> 00:02:13,154
that the enchantress
you seek is staying
58
00:02:13,223 --> 00:02:15,023
at the Inn of the Dwarven Lords.
59
00:02:15,092 --> 00:02:17,058
Really? An inn?
60
00:02:17,127 --> 00:02:18,893
Anu is a concierge at a hotel.
61
00:02:18,962 --> 00:02:20,006
That's a little insensitive,
62
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:21,396
don't you think?
63
00:02:21,465 --> 00:02:23,932
I hadn't noticed that
before you mentioned it.
64
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:25,708
Well, now that I've
mentioned it, how do you feel?
65
00:02:25,732 --> 00:02:26,302
Bad.
66
00:02:26,303 --> 00:02:27,969
Shame on you.
67
00:02:28,038 --> 00:02:30,138
- Hey, ladies.
- Zack!
68
00:02:30,207 --> 00:02:31,506
Hi. You guys
know Zack.
69
00:02:31,575 --> 00:02:32,741
BERNADETTE: Yeah.
- Of course.
70
00:02:32,809 --> 00:02:34,242
Did-did you
send this over?
71
00:02:34,311 --> 00:02:36,911
I did. I asked for the
most expensive one they have.
72
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:38,413
They said it was $200,
73
00:02:38,482 --> 00:02:40,715
and I said
I want a more expensive one.
74
00:02:40,784 --> 00:02:44,119
And then, they said it was $300.
75
00:02:46,523 --> 00:02:48,123
But it-it was the same...
76
00:02:48,191 --> 00:02:50,258
Don't.
77
00:02:50,327 --> 00:02:52,787
Thank you, but you shouldn't
have spent so much.
78
00:02:52,811 --> 00:02:53,496
Nah.
79
00:02:53,497 --> 00:02:56,631
It's cool. I sold my company
for a boatload of money.
80
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,133
And then I bought a boat.
81
00:02:59,236 --> 00:03:00,702
Then I got married.
82
00:03:00,771 --> 00:03:02,170
Guess where.
83
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:03,705
On your boat?
84
00:03:03,774 --> 00:03:06,841
No, but that would've
been awesome!
85
00:03:07,944 --> 00:03:10,445
Well, congratulations.
86
00:03:10,514 --> 00:03:12,113
Hey, you and Leonard
87
00:03:12,182 --> 00:03:14,716
should come over and have
dinner with us on our boat.
88
00:03:14,785 --> 00:03:17,385
Yeah, that would be so nice.
89
00:03:17,454 --> 00:03:20,255
Leonard was just saying
how he was hoping to have dinner
90
00:03:20,324 --> 00:03:23,058
with one of your ex-boyfriends
on his expensive boat.
91
00:03:25,062 --> 00:03:26,673
- Well, then this worked out perfect!

102
00:03:54,491 --> 00:03:56,058
Hey. How was game night?
103
00:03:56,126 --> 00:03:57,893
Oh, off the charts.
104
00:03:57,962 --> 00:03:59,828
Literally.
Sheldon rolled a number so high,
105
00:03:59,897 --> 00:04:01,830
it wasn't on any
of these charts.
106
00:04:01,899 --> 00:04:03,465
(laughs) That's funny.
107
00:04:03,534 --> 00:04:05,167
Wow. I should not have
driven home.
108
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:08,837
How was ladies' night?
109
00:04:08,906 --> 00:04:11,373
It was fun. Amy got drunk
and kept telling us
110
00:04:11,442 --> 00:04:15,277
that Sheldon's chest is smooth
like a porpoise.
111
00:04:15,346 --> 00:04:18,246
Well, it does squeak
when you touch it.
112
00:04:18,315 --> 00:04:20,315
And we ran into Zack.
113
00:04:20,384 --> 00:04:22,384
Oh. Yeah? How's he doing?
114
00:04:22,453 --> 00:04:24,786
- He got married.
- Oh. Well, that's nice.
115
00:04:24,855 --> 00:04:28,023
Yeah, and he sold his company
for a fortune and retired.
116
00:04:28,092 --> 00:04:30,025
Huh.
117
00:04:31,762 --> 00:04:34,863
And you ended up with me,
so everybody wins.
118
00:04:34,932 --> 00:04:37,833
Wait. You're not
jealous of Zack, are you?
119
00:04:37,901 --> 00:04:39,801
What? Oh, absolutely not.
120
00:04:39,870 --> 00:04:41,757
In fact, he should be jealous
of me because I have you.
121
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:42,205
Oh.
122
00:04:42,206 --> 00:04:45,207
And a dungeon with over 30 rooms
left unexplored
123
00:04:45,275 --> 00:04:47,376
because no one thought
to search for secret doors
124
00:04:47,444 --> 00:04:49,478
under the wizard's throne.
125
00:04:49,546 --> 00:04:52,247
Oh. You know, I'd
like to go exploring.
126
00:04:52,316 --> 00:04:54,816
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
127
00:04:54,885 --> 00:04:56,418
Well, I'll get the dice
back out.
128
00:04:59,957 --> 00:05:01,890
(phone chimes)
129
00:05:06,663 --> 00:05:09,297
Go away, Raj!
130
00:05:12,503 --> 00:05:14,636
What are you doing?
131
00:05:14,705 --> 00:05:17,439
I'm winning you back
Love Actually style.
132
00:05:23,313 --> 00:05:24,713
I don't know what that means.
133
00:05:24,782 --> 00:05:27,682
Really? You've never
seen Love Actually?
134
00:05:27,751 --> 00:05:31,053
If you want to watch it
right now, I'll just wait.
135
00:05:32,689 --> 00:05:34,656
I have nothing to say to you.
136
00:05:34,725 --> 00:05:36,591
Look, we both made mistakes.
137
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:39,561
I am so sorry that
I spied on you.
138
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:42,264
I didn't mean to, but
I know it was not okay.
139
00:05:43,934 --> 00:05:46,835
Now, do you want
to apologize to me?
140
00:05:46,904 --> 00:05:50,872
You also said you don't trust me
and that you barely know me.
141
00:05:50,941 --> 00:05:54,276
I really thought this would be
more of a back-and-forth thing.
142
00:05:54,344 --> 00:05:57,846
Honestly, Raj, why do you even
want to marry me?
143
00:05:57,915 --> 00:06:01,683
You know, family
and India and stuff.
144
00:06:01,752 --> 00:06:03,418
Here's what I think.
145
00:06:03,487 --> 00:06:05,087
All of your friends are married,
146
00:06:05,155 --> 00:06:07,122
and you don't want
to be left behind.
147
00:06:07,191 --> 00:06:09,758
And honestly, that's not
a good enough reason.
148
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:13,528
Uh, okay, well, how
is that different
149
00:06:13,597 --> 00:06:15,530
than what you're doing? Hmm?
150
00:06:15,599 --> 00:06:16,865
Worried that you wasted
151
00:06:16,934 --> 00:06:19,668
so many years dating the
wrong people, and now,
152
00:06:19,736 --> 00:06:21,670
you're just looking
for a shortcut.
153
00:06:23,273 --> 00:06:25,240
You're right.
It's not different.
154
00:06:25,309 --> 00:06:26,441
Okay, so we agree.
155
00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:28,510
- Yeah.
- Great.
156
00:06:28,579 --> 00:06:30,345
Wait. What did we
just agree on?
157
00:06:30,414 --> 00:06:34,049
That we shouldn't
see each other anymore.
158
00:06:34,118 --> 00:06:36,118
You know what?
159
00:06:36,186 --> 00:06:39,121
Why don't you shut the door,
and I'll just do the cards?
160
00:06:47,965 --> 00:06:50,732
Uh, do you remember
Penny's ex-boyfriend Zack?
161
00:06:50,801 --> 00:06:53,635
Leonard, I remember all
of Penny's ex-boyfriends.
162
00:06:53,704 --> 00:06:56,338
If you'd like, I could
list them alphabetically.
163
00:06:56,406 --> 00:06:57,906
No, thank you.
164
00:06:57,975 --> 00:06:59,141
Fun fact.
You would think
165
00:06:59,209 --> 00:07:01,276
Zack would be
the last one on the list,
166
00:07:01,345 --> 00:07:04,746
but she also dated two Zekes.
167
00:07:04,815 --> 00:07:07,182
Well, apparently,
Zack sold his company
168
00:07:07,251 --> 00:07:09,084
for a ton of money and retired.
169
00:07:09,153 --> 00:07:10,719
And that bothers you?
170
00:07:10,787 --> 00:07:13,188
I don't know. I mean...
171
00:07:13,257 --> 00:07:14,789
I guess so. Yeah.
172
00:07:14,858 --> 00:07:16,191
It doesn't seem fair.
173
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:18,193
I work hard.
174
00:07:20,998 --> 00:07:22,898
I'm really smart.
175
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:28,837
I've made substantial
contributions to my field.
176
00:07:31,441 --> 00:07:33,441
But Zack gets to be rich,
177
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:35,777
while I'm still working
for a paycheck?
178
00:07:35,846 --> 00:07:38,113
Well, a lot of people
you don't know are rich.
179
00:07:38,182 --> 00:07:40,582
That doesn't seem to bother you.
Mark Zuckerberg,
180
00:07:40,651 --> 00:07:42,617
Sultan of Brunei,
Gordon Letwin.
181
00:07:42,686 --> 00:07:43,729
Who's that?
182
00:07:43,753 --> 00:07:45,753
He's one of the first
11 employees of Microsoft.
183
00:07:45,756 --> 00:07:47,122
Yeah, well, I don't
184
00:07:47,191 --> 00:07:49,891
have to hang out with Gordon Letwin.
- Well, that's too bad.
185
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,494
He helped create
the HPFS file system.
186
00:07:52,563 --> 00:07:55,030
Oh, the stories he could tell.
187
00:07:55,098 --> 00:07:58,066
Penny told him we'd go have
dinner with him and his wife
188
00:07:58,135 --> 00:07:59,734
on their stupid boat.
189
00:07:59,803 --> 00:08:01,347
Well, just tell her
you don't want to go.
190
00:08:01,371 --> 00:08:04,706
Well, then, she'll think
I'm being jealous and petty.
191
00:08:04,775 --> 00:08:07,342
So you want to seem
mature and confident.
192
00:08:12,883 --> 00:08:16,284
I make one mistake, and she says
she doesn't want to marry me.
193
00:08:16,353 --> 00:08:18,653
- Like she never screwed up.
- Did she?
194
00:08:18,722 --> 00:08:21,756
Well, she agreed to marry me.
195
00:08:21,825 --> 00:08:23,558
Honestly,
196
00:08:23,627 --> 00:08:24,893
I think you dodged a bullet.
197
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:26,661
I don't think
she was right for you.
198
00:08:26,730 --> 00:08:27,929
Howie, shh.
199
00:08:27,998 --> 00:08:29,030
What?
200
00:08:29,099 --> 00:08:30,265
You can't bad-mouth Anu.
201
00:08:30,334 --> 00:08:31,511
They're gonna
get back together,
202
00:08:31,535 --> 00:08:33,168
and you're gonna look
like a jerk.
203
00:08:33,237 --> 00:08:34,636
I mean, remember
204
00:08:34,705 --> 00:08:37,405
when we broke up, and Penny said
all those mean things about you?
205
00:08:40,644 --> 00:08:43,178
What did she say?
206
00:08:43,247 --> 00:08:44,512
I don't want to get into it.
207
00:08:44,581 --> 00:08:46,314
Some of it was hurtful,
most of it was true.
208
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,291
So I'm just supposed
to lie to my friend?
209
00:08:51,315 --> 00:08:53,256
I don't want you to lie to me.
210
00:08:53,257 --> 00:08:54,689
No one's gonna lie to you.
211
00:08:54,758 --> 00:08:56,791
(whispers):
Lie.
212
00:08:56,860 --> 00:08:58,760
She says
213
00:08:58,829 --> 00:09:00,006
the only reason I'm marrying her
214
00:09:00,030 --> 00:09:01,207
is because
all my friends are married,
215
00:09:01,231 --> 00:09:02,551
and I don't want
to feel left out.
216
00:09:02,599 --> 00:09:04,745
Oh, that's nonsense.
217
00:09:04,751 --> 00:09:06,434
No.
She's right.
218
00:09:07,537 --> 00:09:09,170
(quietly):
Now what do I say?
219
00:09:11,642 --> 00:09:14,242
So, Marissa, how
220
00:09:14,311 --> 00:09:15,577
did you guys meet?
221
00:09:15,646 --> 00:09:17,712
Oh, it's a pretty
funny story.
222
00:09:17,781 --> 00:09:19,948
We met in a bookstore.
223
00:09:23,053 --> 00:09:24,986
That is funny.
224
00:09:26,223 --> 00:09:28,223
Yeah, I was just there
using the bathroom,
225
00:09:28,292 --> 00:09:31,059
but this one had a stack
of books, like, this tall.
226
00:09:31,128 --> 00:09:32,861
Oh. So, you really like to read?
227
00:09:32,929 --> 00:09:34,863
Oh, no. I work there.
228
00:09:36,099 --> 00:09:37,899
Yeah, she is super smart.
229
00:09:37,968 --> 00:09:40,068
Seriously, you name,
like, any book,
230
00:09:40,137 --> 00:09:41,970
she'll tell you if
she's heard of it.
231
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:43,805
Go on, try her.
232
00:09:43,874 --> 00:09:44,874
Oh, uh, well, uh...
233
00:09:44,908 --> 00:09:46,041
Catcher in the Rye.
234
00:09:46,109 --> 00:09:47,008
Nope.
235
00:09:47,077 --> 00:09:49,277
ZACK:
Look at that, Penny.
236
00:09:49,346 --> 00:09:51,680
I guess we both like nerds.
237
00:09:52,783 --> 00:09:55,784
So, uh, we gonna
take this thing out?
238
00:09:55,852 --> 00:09:58,620
Nah. It's a little
choppy tonight.
239
00:09:58,689 --> 00:10:01,122
Yeah, that's okay-- this is
nice, sitting under the stars.
240
00:10:01,191 --> 00:10:02,957
It's actually kind of peaceful.
241
00:10:03,026 --> 00:10:05,160
Well, it's a beautiful boat.
242
00:10:05,228 --> 00:10:06,528
Thanks, man.
243
00:10:06,596 --> 00:10:07,796
We love it.
244
00:10:07,864 --> 00:10:09,831
Although, he's so tall
he bangs his head
245
00:10:09,933 --> 00:10:11,533
almost every time
he goes downstairs.
246
00:10:11,601 --> 00:10:14,302
After the first couple,
you don't even feel it.
247
00:10:14,371 --> 00:10:16,104
Where are our manners?
248
00:10:16,173 --> 00:10:18,006
Zack, let's get our guests
something to drink.
249
00:10:18,075 --> 00:10:19,741
Oh, you got it, babe.
250
00:10:19,810 --> 00:10:21,743
(quietly): I can't believe
that guy's rich.
251
00:10:21,812 --> 00:10:22,977
MARISSA:
Ooh, watch your head.
252
00:10:23,046 --> 00:10:24,379
ZACK:
That was a close one.
253
00:10:26,083 --> 00:10:27,181
Are you jealous?
254
00:10:27,205 --> 00:10:28,751
I know, I know,
I shouldn't be.
255
00:10:28,752 --> 00:10:30,885
He's super sweet.
I should be happy for them.
256
00:10:30,954 --> 00:10:32,654
Oh, it's driving
me crazy, too.
257
00:10:32,723 --> 00:10:34,689
- Really?
- Yes. I was trying to pretend
258
00:10:34,758 --> 00:10:36,502
like it wasn't so you
wouldn't think I was petty.
259
00:10:36,526 --> 00:10:39,027
Wha-- turns out
we're both petty.
260
00:10:39,096 --> 00:10:41,296
I love you so much.
261
00:10:41,365 --> 00:10:43,031
Aw.
262
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:44,466
Cheers, guys.
263
00:10:44,534 --> 00:10:46,034
- Aw, thanks.
- Thank you.
264
00:10:46,103 --> 00:10:47,669
(laughs)
265
00:10:47,738 --> 00:10:50,905
So listen, I got
to be honest.
266
00:10:50,974 --> 00:10:54,776
We sort of have another reason
for asking you here.
267
00:10:55,979 --> 00:10:57,412
We want to have a baby,
268
00:10:57,481 --> 00:10:59,760
but we can't do it
on our own.
269
00:10:59,761 --> 00:11:02,717
It could be because of the game me
and my frat brothers used to play
270
00:11:02,786 --> 00:11:05,387
where we kicked each other
in the balls over and over.
271
00:11:06,890 --> 00:11:08,723
But the doc says
there's no telling.
272
00:11:10,227 --> 00:11:12,694
We just don't know.
273
00:11:12,763 --> 00:11:14,829
Huh.
274
00:11:14,898 --> 00:11:17,599
You went to college.
275
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:20,135
And Zack's
always admired you
276
00:11:20,203 --> 00:11:22,670
because you're
the smartest person he knows.
277
00:11:22,739 --> 00:11:24,072
Okay, whoa, whoa.
278
00:11:24,141 --> 00:11:27,108
Whoa, whoa. You know, this
has been such a nice evening.
279
00:11:27,177 --> 00:11:29,978
Let's all just stop before
anyone says any more things.
280
00:11:30,046 --> 00:11:31,432
Leonard, would you be
the father of our baby?
281
00:11:31,456 --> 00:11:33,422
Aw, you said a thing.
282
00:11:39,479 --> 00:11:41,780
Wow, this is
really flattering.
283
00:11:41,848 --> 00:11:45,083
And also really weird, right?
284
00:11:45,152 --> 00:11:46,518
ZACK:
Oh, just to be clear,
285
00:11:46,586 --> 00:11:49,554
you don't get to...
you know.
286
00:11:49,623 --> 00:11:51,923
No, I...
287
00:11:51,992 --> 00:11:53,691
- I got it.
- Just because I slept
288
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,761
with your wife doesn't mean
you get to sleep with mine.
289
00:11:58,365 --> 00:12:00,098
We... we get it,
290
00:12:00,167 --> 00:12:03,701
but... thank you
for saying it out loud.
291
00:12:03,770 --> 00:12:05,136
You're welcome.
292
00:12:06,506 --> 00:12:09,607
I know it's a big ask,
but it would mean so much to us.
293
00:12:09,676 --> 00:12:10,676
ZACK:
Yeah, and we
294
00:12:10,744 --> 00:12:12,877
really don't want
a stranger's, you know...
295
00:12:12,946 --> 00:12:15,880
- I know.
- ...sperm.
296
00:12:15,949 --> 00:12:19,317
And Zack's always talked about
what a great guy Leonard is.
297
00:12:19,386 --> 00:12:21,186
I...
298
00:12:21,254 --> 00:12:23,788
(chuckles): I really
don't know what to say.
299
00:12:23,857 --> 00:12:25,957
Really? You don't know
what to say?
300
00:12:26,026 --> 00:12:28,827
You know, I-I think we
should talk about this.
301
00:12:28,895 --> 00:12:31,162
Oh, yeah. Definitely,
you guys should talk, yeah.
302
00:12:31,231 --> 00:12:33,164
Take your time.
303
00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:38,803
He means privately.
304
00:12:38,872 --> 00:12:39,949
- Right. Sorry.
- Sure. Yep.
305
00:12:39,973 --> 00:12:41,840
- Come on,Zack.
- Okay. Yeah.
306
00:12:41,908 --> 00:12:43,641
Okay.
307
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:45,470
You really think
those two should be parents?
308
00:12:45,512 --> 00:12:47,178
There's nothing
wrong with them.
309
00:12:47,247 --> 00:12:49,247
(loud thump)
ZACK: Ow!
310
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:54,786
(computer chiming)
311
00:12:56,556 --> 00:12:58,490
Hello, Daddy.
312
00:12:58,558 --> 00:13:02,026
Did you install a camera
to spy on your fiancée?
313
00:13:02,095 --> 00:13:03,228
What?!
314
00:13:03,296 --> 00:13:05,396
No!
315
00:13:05,465 --> 00:13:06,831
That's what her parents told me
316
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,900
when they said they
were calling off the wedding.
317
00:13:08,969 --> 00:13:11,970
But I told them you would never
do such a thing.
318
00:13:12,038 --> 00:13:13,038
Thank you.
319
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,440
I mean, I did install a camera
320
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:19,377
and I did spy on her, but I did
not install it to spy on her.
321
00:13:19,446 --> 00:13:22,113
Well, that's not going
to be our story.
322
00:13:22,182 --> 00:13:24,516
Our story is that she's a liar.
323
00:13:24,584 --> 00:13:25,917
And-and old.
324
00:13:25,986 --> 00:13:28,720
An old, dirty liar.
325
00:13:28,788 --> 00:13:30,421
Oh, no.
She's-she's actually great.
326
00:13:30,490 --> 00:13:32,390
I'm the one who screwed up.
327
00:13:32,459 --> 00:13:34,159
Well, don't say that to them.
328
00:13:34,227 --> 00:13:35,860
She's bad. You're good.
329
00:13:35,929 --> 00:13:39,364
They have to pay me back
for my wedding deposits.
330
00:13:39,432 --> 00:13:40,965
(sighs)
This is all my fault.
331
00:13:41,034 --> 00:13:43,234
I should have...
I should have just trusted her.
332
00:13:43,303 --> 00:13:45,570
So you're saying
you still want to get married?
333
00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:47,572
Fine. Then I'll call her parents
334
00:13:47,641 --> 00:13:49,607
and we'll straighten
this whole thing out.
335
00:13:49,676 --> 00:13:51,476
I don't think
she wants to marry me.
336
00:13:51,545 --> 00:13:52,810
And honestly...
337
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,280
she deserves someone better.
338
00:13:55,348 --> 00:13:58,816
(sighs) Rajesh, you need to stop
being so hard on yourself.
339
00:13:58,885 --> 00:14:00,919
You're a good man.
340
00:14:00,987 --> 00:14:02,453
(chuckles):
Wow.
341
00:14:02,522 --> 00:14:04,689
Y-You've never told me that.
342
00:14:04,758 --> 00:14:07,091
You're also a dope.
343
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,827
That you've said.
344
00:14:09,896 --> 00:14:12,030
But your heart's
in the right place,
345
00:14:12,098 --> 00:14:13,498
and you deserve happiness.
346
00:14:13,567 --> 00:14:16,367
So you just need to figure out
what you want,
347
00:14:16,436 --> 00:14:19,637
and if that means cancelling the
wedding, we cancel the wedding.
348
00:14:19,706 --> 00:14:21,339
Thank you.
349
00:14:21,408 --> 00:14:23,408
But figure it out quickly,
or I'll be celebrating
350
00:14:23,476 --> 00:14:25,410
my next birthday
with a lot more elephants
351
00:14:25,478 --> 00:14:27,645
and marigolds than I expected.
352
00:14:30,483 --> 00:14:33,484
And Leonard just stood
there with a big, dumb smile on his face,
353
00:14:33,553 --> 00:14:36,487
like he was watching a puppy
and a monkey make friends.
354
00:14:37,857 --> 00:14:40,725
Well, I can see how he'd
be flattered to be asked.
355
00:14:40,794 --> 00:14:42,126
It's not flattering.
It's creepy.
356
00:14:42,195 --> 00:14:45,163
Well, something can be both
flattering and creepy.
357
00:14:45,232 --> 00:14:47,632
You know, just the other night,
Sheldon said that my feet
358
00:14:47,701 --> 00:14:49,801
looked like
Richard Feynman's hands.
359
00:14:49,869 --> 00:14:51,536
Really? So
you'd be okay
360
00:14:51,605 --> 00:14:54,505
if someone wanted to use Sheldon
as their sperm donor?
361
00:14:54,574 --> 00:14:57,575
Oh, absolutely not. I am
the only handmaid in this tale.
362
00:15:00,347 --> 00:15:02,580
So Leonard's
really considering this?
363
00:15:02,649 --> 00:15:04,148
Yes. We got in a
huge fight about it.
364
00:15:04,217 --> 00:15:06,097
He said, well, if I
don't want to have his baby,
365
00:15:06,152 --> 00:15:08,672
then why shouldn't someone else
be able to? Do you believe that?
366
00:15:11,625 --> 00:15:13,091
What?
367
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:15,927
Well, there is
a deep-seated biological drive
368
00:15:15,996 --> 00:15:17,595
to pass on your genes.
369
00:15:17,664 --> 00:15:19,297
It's only natural.
370
00:15:19,366 --> 00:15:20,865
So you're on his side?
371
00:15:20,934 --> 00:15:23,034
Well, viewing
Leonard as a mammal,
372
00:15:23,103 --> 00:15:25,003
it's perfectly
understandable.
373
00:15:26,139 --> 00:15:28,139
But viewing him
as your husband, he stinks.
374
00:15:28,208 --> 00:15:30,241
And we hate him.
375
00:15:32,746 --> 00:15:36,114
(video game weapons firing)
Really? Zack wanted you to donate
376
00:15:36,182 --> 00:15:38,383
your genetic material
for his baby?
377
00:15:38,451 --> 00:15:41,719
Yeah. So I'd be helping out a
couple who really want a baby,
378
00:15:41,788 --> 00:15:44,822
and they were gonna pay us,
and Penny freaked out about it.
379
00:15:44,891 --> 00:15:46,658
- That doesn't make any sense.
- I know.
380
00:15:46,726 --> 00:15:48,760
They wanted you?
381
00:15:48,828 --> 00:15:50,595
(video game tires screeching,
car crashing)
382
00:15:50,664 --> 00:15:52,497
Yes, Sheldon,
they wanted me.
383
00:15:52,565 --> 00:15:55,166
I'm smart. I'm nice.
I'm smart. I'm nice.
384
00:15:55,235 --> 00:15:58,870
And I can eat cheese
without clearing out a room.
385
00:15:58,938 --> 00:16:01,239
Are you upset he
didn't ask you?
386
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,408
Of course not. I just
think it's interesting
387
00:16:03,476 --> 00:16:06,511
that of all the people he knows,
he thinks you're the best choice.
388
00:16:06,579 --> 00:16:08,513
Well, he does.
389
00:16:08,581 --> 00:16:11,149
I don't see why Penny
is so against this.
390
00:16:11,217 --> 00:16:13,396
Well, perhaps Penny's worried
that you haven't considered
391
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:16,154
the emotional toll of knowing
there's a child out there
392
00:16:16,222 --> 00:16:18,456
who is biologically yours
but not actually yours.
393
00:16:18,525 --> 00:16:20,925
(video game tires screech)
394
00:16:20,994 --> 00:16:23,361
Wow, that's
really insightful.
395
00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:25,530
Yeah, I'm taller than you
and I don't have asthma.
396
00:16:25,598 --> 00:16:26,931
Those people are crazy.
397
00:16:28,368 --> 00:16:30,301
(phone chimes)
398
00:16:34,341 --> 00:16:37,041
Come on, I know you're there,
and I know you know it's me.
399
00:16:38,712 --> 00:16:40,211
(groans)
400
00:16:42,215 --> 00:16:44,749
- You're just making this harder.
- Look...
401
00:16:44,818 --> 00:16:46,517
you were right.
402
00:16:46,586 --> 00:16:48,920
I was doing this for
the wrong reasons.
403
00:16:48,988 --> 00:16:51,756
You deserve to marry
someone who knows
404
00:16:51,825 --> 00:16:54,492
how amazing you are...
and who proposes
405
00:16:54,561 --> 00:16:58,162
because he doesn't want to spend
a single day without you.
406
00:16:58,231 --> 00:17:02,100
Not... not because he wants
to catch up to his friends.
407
00:17:02,168 --> 00:17:04,235
Thank you.
408
00:17:04,304 --> 00:17:08,740
And I want you to know, I
think I could be that man.
409
00:17:08,808 --> 00:17:11,442
Raj, I'm not gonna marry you.
410
00:17:11,511 --> 00:17:14,078
- I'm not asking you to.
- Then why are you here?
411
00:17:14,147 --> 00:17:15,279
Because I like you.
412
00:17:15,348 --> 00:17:16,814
Okay? I like you.
413
00:17:16,883 --> 00:17:19,083
I-I like you enough
to start this relationship
414
00:17:19,152 --> 00:17:22,053
at the beginning,
not in the middle.
415
00:17:22,122 --> 00:17:23,287
So...
416
00:17:23,356 --> 00:17:26,124
will you go out
on a date with me?
417
00:17:26,192 --> 00:17:28,493
(sighs)
I don't know.
418
00:17:33,733 --> 00:17:35,800
Okay.
419
00:17:35,869 --> 00:17:37,535
But I warn you,
420
00:17:37,604 --> 00:17:39,737
I just got out of
a weird relationship,
421
00:17:39,806 --> 00:17:42,407
and I might complain
about my ex a lot.
422
00:17:42,475 --> 00:17:46,344
Maybe he's being weird because he
doesn't know how to ask for his ring back.
423
00:17:54,921 --> 00:17:56,554
Hey.
424
00:17:56,622 --> 00:17:58,356
Hi.
425
00:17:58,424 --> 00:17:59,991
Where you been?
426
00:18:00,059 --> 00:18:01,926
Just out.
427
00:18:01,995 --> 00:18:03,527
All right, look, um...
428
00:18:03,596 --> 00:18:05,763
I'm sorry that we fought before.
429
00:18:05,832 --> 00:18:08,232
I know this is
a really unusual situation,
430
00:18:08,301 --> 00:18:11,235
and if you don't want me
to do it, I won't.
431
00:18:11,304 --> 00:18:13,037
Really?
432
00:18:13,106 --> 00:18:14,472
Yeah.
433
00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:17,008
We're a team.
We're in this together.
434
00:18:18,711 --> 00:18:20,644
I'll be right back.
435
00:18:35,228 --> 00:18:36,794
What is that?
436
00:18:36,863 --> 00:18:39,063
It's a sample cup.
437
00:18:39,132 --> 00:18:43,434
Really? 'Cause it looks like
the top off the NyQuil bottle.
438
00:18:44,670 --> 00:18:46,670
It's the closest thing
I could find.
439
00:18:46,773 --> 00:18:49,340
- It's a gesture. Shut up.
- All right, sorry.
440
00:18:50,877 --> 00:18:53,744
So... are you saying
you're okay with this?
441
00:18:53,813 --> 00:18:55,346
(sighs):
I don't know,
442
00:18:55,415 --> 00:18:57,848
but... when I told you
I didn't want to have kids,
443
00:18:57,917 --> 00:19:00,451
you didn't have a say
in that, so...
444
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,254
maybe I don't need
to have a say in this.
445
00:19:04,323 --> 00:19:05,756
Thank you.
446
00:19:05,825 --> 00:19:08,592
They couldn't have picked
a better person.
447
00:19:08,694 --> 00:19:10,561
(chuckles)
448
00:19:12,432 --> 00:19:14,365
Are you calling Zack?
449
00:19:14,434 --> 00:19:17,101
No, Sheldon. Would you say
that last part one more time?
450
00:19:18,634 --> 00:19:19,634
Oh, my...
451
00:19:22,554 --> 00:19:29,554
