﻿1
00:00:02,761 --> 00:00:04,174
Hey, will you steam
my uniform next?

2
00:00:04,399 --> 00:00:05,899
Yeah, w...
Interesting.

3
00:00:05,932 --> 00:00:07,790
Do you recall this conversation?

4
00:00:07,827 --> 00:00:10,178
"Leonard, want to go halfsies
on a steamer?"

5
00:00:10,216 --> 00:00:13,417
"No, Sheldon,
we don't need a steamer."

6
00:00:14,246 --> 00:00:16,846
Looks like that rumpled
chicken's come home to roost.

7
00:00:18,083 --> 00:00:20,102
Hi. Here are the make-up
sponges you asked for.

8
00:00:20,133 --> 00:00:22,570
Oh, thanks,
I thought I had more.

9
00:00:26,501 --> 00:00:28,786
Damn, you've got
more makeup than I do.

10
00:00:29,486 --> 00:00:31,970
You've got better makeup
than I do.

11
00:00:32,044 --> 00:00:33,314
Yeah, I'm borrowing this.

12
00:00:33,339 --> 00:00:34,558
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

13
00:00:34,585 --> 00:00:36,295
This is my Comic-Con makeup.

14
00:00:36,528 --> 00:00:38,028
I love you,
but there are some things

15
00:00:38,046 --> 00:00:40,161
a man doesn't share
with his girlfriend.

16
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:42,868
That's a wise policy.

17
00:00:42,899 --> 00:00:44,881
I once borrowed
my sister's makeup

18
00:00:44,906 --> 00:00:45,981
for a costume contest.

19
00:00:46,005 --> 00:00:47,719
Got a terrible case of pinkeye.

20
00:00:47,808 --> 00:00:49,727
Yeah, but luckily,
I was going as a zombie.

21
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:51,509
I won second place.

22
00:00:52,589 --> 00:00:54,396
I feel like you guys
just went to Comic-Con.

23
00:00:54,428 --> 00:00:55,728
That was San Diego Comic-Con.

24
00:00:55,752 --> 00:00:57,886
This is Bakersfield Comic-Con.

25
00:00:58,209 --> 00:00:59,266
Is that better?

26
00:00:59,303 --> 00:01:00,666
Well, it's a lot smaller.

27
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:01,966
It's more about
the comic books.

28
00:01:02,002 --> 00:01:03,334
The way these
conventions used to be

29
00:01:03,365 --> 00:01:04,865
before they went all Hollywood.

30
00:01:04,943 --> 00:01:08,038
So to answer your question,
no, it's not better.

31
00:01:08,913 --> 00:01:10,413
Well, then why are you going?

32
00:01:10,811 --> 00:01:12,380
It's a comic book convention.

33
00:01:12,444 --> 00:01:14,856
You know, it's like pizza
or particle accelerators,

34
00:01:14,881 --> 00:01:17,382
even the stinky one's
still pretty good.

35
00:01:17,824 --> 00:01:19,390
All right. Well, you guys have fun.

36
00:01:19,415 --> 00:01:20,483
I guess I'll see you
Sunday night.

37
00:01:20,512 --> 00:01:21,678
- Yeah.
- Okay.

38
00:01:21,696 --> 00:01:23,137
Oh, hang on a second.

39
00:01:23,155 --> 00:01:25,339
Hold this.

40
00:01:29,713 --> 00:01:30,739
What was that for?

41
00:01:30,764 --> 00:01:33,565
To show people
when they don't believe me.

52
00:02:00,296 --> 00:02:01,702
Oh, this is the best.

53
00:02:01,751 --> 00:02:04,064
You have booze with breakfast on
a Tuesday, you got a problem.

54
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,601
You do it on the weekend,
you got brunch.

55
00:02:07,098 --> 00:02:09,014
Sheldon doesn't believe
in brunch.

56
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,295
He can't stand being at a table

57
00:02:10,314 --> 00:02:11,580
where one person's
having an omelet

58
00:02:11,612 --> 00:02:13,896
and another person's
having a sandwich.

59
00:02:14,411 --> 00:02:16,964
He's not exhausting at all.

60
00:02:19,132 --> 00:02:20,632
Oh.

61
00:02:20,896 --> 00:02:21,851
It's Leonard.

62
00:02:21,869 --> 00:02:24,058
He says they're on the road
and headed for Bakersfield

63
00:02:24,089 --> 00:02:25,690
at "warp speed."

64
00:02:26,166 --> 00:02:28,873
Maybe it's the mimosa, but I'm gonna
give the kid an LOL.

65
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:32,626
It's cute how excited they are.

66
00:02:32,651 --> 00:02:35,870
You should have seen Howard sewing
his costume all week for the convention.

67
00:02:35,949 --> 00:02:37,555
When did Howard learn to sew?

68
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,196
When he was a little boy,
every couple months,

69
00:02:39,227 --> 00:02:41,396
he would have to let
his mom's pants out.

70
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:47,191
I don't even understand why
they go to these conventions.

71
00:02:47,246 --> 00:02:49,570
I know. The four of them work
at a major university.

72
00:02:49,601 --> 00:02:50,764
They're all super smart.

73
00:02:50,793 --> 00:02:53,316
How can they still be into something
made for 12-year-olds?

74
00:02:53,471 --> 00:02:54,606
I don't mind it.

75
00:02:54,631 --> 00:02:57,106
I think Howie's just in touch
with his inner child.

76
00:02:57,204 --> 00:02:59,268
Although when he comes to bed
in his Batman pajamas,

77
00:02:59,287 --> 00:03:03,123
sometimes it feels like
I'm touching his inner child.

78
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,127
It's probably because
they were bullied growing up.

79
00:03:07,169 --> 00:03:08,919
In a world
where you can't fight back,

80
00:03:08,971 --> 00:03:11,369
superheroes provide
meaningful wish-fulfillment.

81
00:03:12,299 --> 00:03:14,745
Now I feel bad for picking
on all those kids.

82
00:03:15,148 --> 00:03:16,467
Although, in my defense,

83
00:03:16,487 --> 00:03:18,401
if Danny Biffle didn't want
to eat a mouthful of dirt,

84
00:03:18,426 --> 00:03:21,640
he shouldn't have shown up
to school wearing a bow tie.

85
00:03:22,632 --> 00:03:24,771
I've never even read
a comic book. You guys?

86
00:03:24,802 --> 00:03:25,934
- Uh-uh.
- No.

87
00:03:26,072 --> 00:03:28,009
I mean, it's such an important
part of their lives.

88
00:03:28,034 --> 00:03:29,617
Maybe we should try
reading some.

89
00:03:29,659 --> 00:03:31,348
Seriously?

90
00:03:32,016 --> 00:03:34,004
The comic book store
isn't far from here.

91
00:03:34,072 --> 00:03:36,811
That is an amazing idea.

92
00:03:37,104 --> 00:03:40,406
Okay, how many of these
have I had?

93
00:03:44,994 --> 00:03:47,412
I think you should turn
on the GPS.

94
00:03:47,613 --> 00:03:48,752
It is on.

95
00:03:48,848 --> 00:03:51,607
But the turn-by-turn
voice option isn't on.

96
00:03:51,645 --> 00:03:53,204
I know I'd feel more safe

97
00:03:53,222 --> 00:03:55,040
if you turn on the turn-by-turn
voice option.

98
00:03:55,059 --> 00:03:57,609
I love the turn-by-turn
voice option.

99
00:03:58,058 --> 00:04:01,901
Has it really only
been ten miles?

100
00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:04,774
I'm turning it on,
but just to shut you up.

101
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:08,582
Leonard, bear left and continue

102
00:04:08,606 --> 00:04:11,047
on Interstate 210.

103
00:04:12,876 --> 00:04:15,517
Ooh, sounds like that fellow
knows what he's talking about.

104
00:04:16,228 --> 00:04:19,201
I'd put on my listening ears
if I were you.

105
00:04:19,542 --> 00:04:20,973
What did you do?

106
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:22,783
I found a hack online.

107
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,874
I was able to upload
MP3 recordings

108
00:04:24,905 --> 00:04:26,482
of my voice to your GPS.

109
00:04:26,506 --> 00:04:28,042
That is so cool.

110
00:04:28,078 --> 00:04:30,078
Counterpoint, no, it's not.

111
00:04:31,358 --> 00:04:33,852
Continue on Interstate 210

112
00:04:33,883 --> 00:04:35,382
for five miles.

113
00:04:35,559 --> 00:04:39,260
Here's an interesting fact
about interstates.

114
00:04:40,144 --> 00:04:41,088
Really?

115
00:04:41,112 --> 00:04:43,765
Shh, he said it's interesting.

116
00:04:44,498 --> 00:04:47,254
Interstates are numbered
as follows.

117
00:04:47,305 --> 00:04:50,451
Even-numbered routes
run east and west,

118
00:04:51,261 --> 00:04:52,767
odd-numbered routes

119
00:04:52,792 --> 00:04:54,792
run north and south.

120
00:04:55,504 --> 00:04:58,787
Three-digit route numbers
indicate bypasses

121
00:04:58,842 --> 00:05:01,977
or spurs.

122
00:05:02,916 --> 00:05:04,495
Look, Leonard,
there's a bridge.

123
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:06,093
Drive off it.

124
00:05:07,049 --> 00:05:09,865
You know, we're not that far
from Vazquez Rocks.

125
00:05:09,908 --> 00:05:13,243
Oh, they shot a lot
of <i>Star Trek</i> episodes out there.

126
00:05:13,275 --> 00:05:15,343
We've got our costumes
in the trunk.

127
00:05:15,386 --> 00:05:17,818
We could go there
and have a little photo shoot.

128
00:05:17,855 --> 00:05:19,174
Great idea.

129
00:05:19,205 --> 00:05:21,666
I haven't had a carbohydrate
in two weeks.

130
00:05:21,716 --> 00:05:23,798
These cheekbones need
to be in front of a camera

131
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:25,990
before I eat a pretzel
and they're gone.

132
00:05:26,692 --> 00:05:27,976
Yeah, that sounds fun.

133
00:05:27,997 --> 00:05:29,696
Oh, smashing.

134
00:05:29,721 --> 00:05:31,984
Now, Leonard,
do you know how to get there?

135
00:05:32,014 --> 00:05:32,612
No.

136
00:05:32,653 --> 00:05:35,180
Yeah, well luckily,
someone in the car does.

137
00:05:35,222 --> 00:05:37,022
Recalculating.

138
00:05:38,524 --> 00:05:39,990
While we're waiting,

139
00:05:40,027 --> 00:05:42,298
do you know
which president signed

140
00:05:42,329 --> 00:05:45,801
the Intestate Highway System Act
into law?

141
00:05:46,096 --> 00:05:50,165
The answer,
coming up in 14 miles.

142
00:05:51,177 --> 00:05:52,765
None of you will get it.

143
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:54,956
It's Eisenhower.

144
00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:10,027
Why are they staring?

145
00:06:11,066 --> 00:06:13,400
Who cares?
Just soak it in.

146
00:06:15,259 --> 00:06:17,332
Hello, boys.

147
00:06:18,228 --> 00:06:20,603
Oh, hey.

148
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:25,702
Could you please stop staring?
They're just girls.

149
00:06:25,727 --> 00:06:29,036
It's nothing you haven't seen
in movies or in drawings.

150
00:06:30,316 --> 00:06:31,271
Hey, Stuart.

151
00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:32,884
Wh-What brings you guys here?

152
00:06:32,978 --> 00:06:35,309
We were looking for a recommendation
about comic books.

153
00:06:35,327 --> 00:06:38,846
Oh, well, I recommend you don't
open a store and sell them.

154
00:06:39,452 --> 00:06:41,928
No, we were just wondering why the
guys like this stuff so much,

155
00:06:41,952 --> 00:06:43,147
so we thought we'd
give it a try.

156
00:06:43,172 --> 00:06:45,527
Oh, okay. What do you think
you might be into?

157
00:06:45,539 --> 00:06:48,038
Superhero, fantasy,
graphic novels, manga--

158
00:06:48,061 --> 00:06:51,530
I swear
I will turn a hose on you.

159
00:06:56,032 --> 00:06:57,917
What kind of comics
do the guys like?

160
00:06:57,948 --> 00:06:59,942
Um, a litt bit of everything.

161
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:01,423
Mostly superhero stuff.

162
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:03,262
All right, well,
who's the best superhero?

163
00:07:03,293 --> 00:07:04,475
Shh!

164
00:07:04,731 --> 00:07:06,619
You can't ask a question
like that in here.

165
00:07:06,631 --> 00:07:09,020
Are you trying
to start a rumble?

166
00:07:10,061 --> 00:07:12,172
Well, what do you recommend?

167
00:07:12,203 --> 00:07:13,569
Well, uh, let's see.

168
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:15,533
You've got your basic
clean-cut good guys--

169
00:07:15,552 --> 00:07:18,191
Superman, Spider-Man,
Captain America.

170
00:07:18,296 --> 00:07:20,353
Then you have
your darker anti-heroes--

171
00:07:20,378 --> 00:07:22,431
your Batman, your Wolverine,
Punisher.

172
00:07:22,449 --> 00:07:25,306
Ooh, I do love a bad boy.

173
00:07:26,802 --> 00:07:30,446
As evidenced by your boyfriend
and his fear of hamsters.

174
00:07:32,612 --> 00:07:34,649
If I were you,
I'd go for <i>Fables</i> number one.

175
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,303
The artwork is sophisticated,
it's intelligently written,

176
00:07:37,334 --> 00:07:39,516
and it doesn't objectify
or stereotype women.

177
00:07:39,547 --> 00:07:40,572
Ooh, Thor!

178
00:07:40,615 --> 00:07:42,681
He's hot.

179
00:07:43,459 --> 00:07:46,240
Yeah, he kind of is.

180
00:07:50,927 --> 00:07:52,754
And we're blending,

181
00:07:52,810 --> 00:07:54,677
and we're blending,

182
00:07:54,699 --> 00:07:56,780
and we're done.

183
00:08:00,993 --> 00:08:03,457
I know Mr. Data
isn't supposed to smile,

184
00:08:03,571 --> 00:08:05,649
but here it comes.

185
00:08:08,799 --> 00:08:10,118
Come on, guys.

186
00:08:10,143 --> 00:08:11,068
Let's do this.

187
00:08:11,087 --> 00:08:13,947
Yeah, I'm sweating
my bald cap off.

188
00:08:19,051 --> 00:08:20,515
So what's our first
pose going to be?

189
00:08:20,552 --> 00:08:23,322
I say we begin with a classic
<i>Star Trek</i> fight scene.

190
00:08:23,353 --> 00:08:25,269
I'll set the timer.

191
00:08:30,971 --> 00:08:32,962
Sheldon,
how is that a fight pose?

192
00:08:33,293 --> 00:08:35,785
Mr. Data's weapon is his mind.

193
00:08:36,036 --> 00:08:37,815
I'm wielding it.

194
00:08:45,084 --> 00:08:47,434
Phasers on the Borg!

195
00:08:49,802 --> 00:08:51,585
<i>Charlie's Angels.</i>

196
00:08:55,309 --> 00:08:56,864
Okay, what's next?

197
00:08:56,939 --> 00:08:59,615
Now let's do some sexy glamour shots.

198
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:00,938
I'll set the mood.

199
00:09:01,078 --> 00:09:03,295
Oontz, oontz, oontz, oontz...

200
00:09:03,329 --> 00:09:06,997
oontz, oontz, oontz, oontz,
oontz, oontz, oontz, oontz...

201
00:09:07,042 --> 00:09:09,927
oontz, oontz, oontz,
oontz, oontz, oontz, oontz.

202
00:09:10,059 --> 00:09:11,991
Yeah, nice one.

203
00:09:12,034 --> 00:09:13,617
Oontz, oontz, oontz.

204
00:09:13,757 --> 00:09:15,363
That's right.

205
00:09:15,382 --> 00:09:17,326
Oontz, oontz, oontz.

206
00:09:17,358 --> 00:09:18,561
Oh, my God.

207
00:09:18,591 --> 00:09:20,424
Leonard,
someone's stealing your car!

208
00:09:20,462 --> 00:09:22,864
What? Hey, hey!

209
00:09:22,907 --> 00:09:24,270
- Come back here!
- Stop!

210
00:09:24,295 --> 00:09:27,262
Stealing is against the law!

211
00:09:29,138 --> 00:09:30,726
I don't believe this.

212
00:09:30,751 --> 00:09:32,051
Son of a bitch.

213
00:09:32,082 --> 00:09:34,132
I'll call 911.

214
00:09:34,146 --> 00:09:34,957
Wha...

215
00:09:34,975 --> 00:09:37,280
Oh, no, my phone is
in my other pants.

216
00:09:37,298 --> 00:09:39,048
Oh, so is mine.
Mine, too.

217
00:09:39,077 --> 00:09:40,660
Anybody got any ideas?

218
00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:41,851
Nope.

219
00:09:41,957 --> 00:09:44,624
The only thing left to
do now is assign blame.

220
00:09:44,704 --> 00:09:46,871
Nice going.

221
00:09:51,836 --> 00:09:55,342
What kind of a person steals another
person's car in broad daylight?

222
00:09:55,492 --> 00:09:58,076
What kind of person
leaves his keys in the car?

223
00:09:58,090 --> 00:10:00,390
I thought we agreed this was
all Koothrappali's fault.

224
00:10:00,418 --> 00:10:01,668
You're right.

225
00:10:01,832 --> 00:10:03,843
Nice going.

226
00:10:05,064 --> 00:10:06,520
Car.

227
00:10:12,948 --> 00:10:15,428
What is wrong with people?
Why don't they stop?

228
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:16,914
Maybe we're better off.

229
00:10:16,935 --> 00:10:19,719
What if we were to get in a car
with a crazy person?

230
00:10:19,771 --> 00:10:21,041
Look at us, Sheldon.

231
00:10:21,066 --> 00:10:23,074
We're the crazy people.

232
00:10:25,587 --> 00:10:28,582
Well, perhaps we should
hold up a sign

233
00:10:28,613 --> 00:10:32,149
that assures passing motorists
of our mental competence.

234
00:10:33,287 --> 00:10:34,238
Good idea.

235
00:10:34,269 --> 00:10:36,570
Why don't you
get started on that?

236
00:10:37,825 --> 00:10:39,726
Come on,
let's just start walking.

237
00:10:39,774 --> 00:10:42,624
There's got to be a gas station
or something nearby.

238
00:10:42,659 --> 00:10:46,072
What, you think just because you're wearing
a captain's uniform, you're in charge?

239
00:10:46,936 --> 00:10:48,650
Yes.

240
00:10:49,247 --> 00:10:51,230
All right.

241
00:11:01,221 --> 00:11:03,444
Hmm, okay, I'm done.

242
00:11:03,637 --> 00:11:05,319
How did you guys
finish so fast?

243
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:07,132
I don't know,
there were a lot of pictures,

244
00:11:07,157 --> 00:11:10,895
and one page only had
the word "brakkadoom!"

245
00:11:13,099 --> 00:11:15,708
Yeah, well,
I have street smarts.

246
00:11:16,245 --> 00:11:17,971
So, what'd you guys think?

247
00:11:18,008 --> 00:11:20,743
- Well, there was a lot of action,
- Mmm.

248
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,392
and the story moved along
at a brisk pace.

249
00:11:23,508 --> 00:11:25,264
It was, overall...

250
00:11:25,295 --> 00:11:27,145
what's the word I'm looking for?

251
00:11:27,183 --> 00:11:29,013
- Stupid?
- So stupid.

252
00:11:29,977 --> 00:11:32,015
I don't know how Leonard can
get so caught up in this.

253
00:11:32,059 --> 00:11:33,471
It's crazy; they spend hours

254
00:11:33,511 --> 00:11:35,661
arguing about things
that don't even exist.

255
00:11:35,687 --> 00:11:37,263
- What a waste of time.
- I know.

256
00:11:37,294 --> 00:11:39,862
A hammer so heavy that no
one else can pick it up?

257
00:11:42,226 --> 00:11:43,474
I don't think it's heavy.

258
00:11:43,492 --> 00:11:46,537
It's some sort of magic,
so only Thor can lift it.

259
00:11:46,568 --> 00:11:48,961
That makes even less
sense, I mean...

260
00:11:49,149 --> 00:11:52,889
No, no, no, it doesn't.

261
00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:54,545
Thor is a god.

262
00:11:54,586 --> 00:11:56,686
The hammer is his;
only he can use it.

263
00:11:56,764 --> 00:11:59,932
It's like Sheldon
and his toothbrush.

264
00:12:00,821 --> 00:12:03,539
Or his thin, beckoning lips.

265
00:12:04,439 --> 00:12:07,448
Okay, hang on, what if
Thor's hand is on the hammer?

266
00:12:07,485 --> 00:12:09,448
I mean, if he's touching it
with his god magic,

267
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:11,012
does that mean I could lift it?

268
00:12:11,032 --> 00:12:13,750
- No.
- Yes.

269
00:12:14,264 --> 00:12:16,040
Well, which is it?

270
00:12:16,263 --> 00:12:18,169
Maybe we missed something.

271
00:12:18,191 --> 00:12:19,306
Let's read it again.

272
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:21,607
- Okay.
- Yeah.

273
00:12:27,178 --> 00:12:28,466
You want some tea?

274
00:12:28,528 --> 00:12:30,324
Good idea. I'll help you.

275
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:33,075
Wait, I thought we were reading.

276
00:12:33,104 --> 00:12:34,275
We are.

277
00:12:34,306 --> 00:12:37,911
We're just, uh,
giving you a head start.

278
00:12:47,506 --> 00:12:49,338
I wish my mom was here.

279
00:12:49,740 --> 00:12:53,078
We could all hang out
in her shadow.

280
00:12:54,109 --> 00:12:56,293
Wool pants in the desert.

281
00:12:56,533 --> 00:12:59,868
I feel like I've got
poached testicles.

282
00:13:01,349 --> 00:13:03,740
Oh, you poor thing;
you're sweating.

283
00:13:03,758 --> 00:13:06,464
That's so much worse than
having your car stolen.

284
00:13:06,494 --> 00:13:08,641
Insurance is gonna buy you
a new car.

285
00:13:08,664 --> 00:13:11,500
It's not gonna
de-funk my junk.

286
00:13:12,113 --> 00:13:13,766
Gentlemen,

287
00:13:13,933 --> 00:13:15,716
a little less bellyaching.

288
00:13:15,761 --> 00:13:17,388
We're Starfleet officers

289
00:13:17,418 --> 00:13:19,552
and a member
of the Borg Collective.

290
00:13:19,584 --> 00:13:22,535
Please, Sheldon,
I am so not in the mood.

291
00:13:22,568 --> 00:13:26,082
Leonard,
all our lives we have dreamed

292
00:13:26,107 --> 00:13:27,373
of finding ourselves

293
00:13:27,418 --> 00:13:30,252
inside one of
the fantasy worlds we love.

294
00:13:30,398 --> 00:13:32,104
And look at us.

295
00:13:32,128 --> 00:13:34,019
At this moment, we are, in fact,

296
00:13:34,048 --> 00:13:36,036
a <i>Star Trek</i> landing party

297
00:13:36,066 --> 00:13:39,843
stranded in an alien
and unforgiving environment,

298
00:13:40,134 --> 00:13:42,846
relying only on our wits,
our fortitude

299
00:13:42,874 --> 00:13:44,540
and our moxie.

300
00:13:44,623 --> 00:13:46,618
As long as we have
those things,

301
00:13:46,643 --> 00:13:48,977
- nothing can stop...
- Nerds!

302
00:13:55,258 --> 00:13:57,425
I hate this planet.

303
00:14:02,693 --> 00:14:04,443
It says right here
on the hammer,

304
00:14:04,481 --> 00:14:06,789
"Whoever holds this hammer,
if he be worthy,

305
00:14:06,820 --> 00:14:08,604
shall possess
the power of Thor."

306
00:14:08,741 --> 00:14:10,625
Hold on,
who decides who's worthy?

307
00:14:10,643 --> 00:14:11,875
Does the hammer decide?

308
00:14:11,902 --> 00:14:13,235
- Yes!
- No!

309
00:14:15,481 --> 00:14:16,701
It can't decide.

310
00:14:16,718 --> 00:14:19,172
- It's a hammer.
- You said it's a magic hammer.

311
00:14:19,197 --> 00:14:20,947
Yeah, it can't make decisions.

312
00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:22,459
If Harry Potter's wand
can make decisions,

313
00:14:22,471 --> 00:14:24,352
why can't Thor's hammer?

314
00:14:24,482 --> 00:14:27,571
Okay, if you're going to start
comparing wands and hammers,

315
00:14:27,702 --> 00:14:30,801
I can't even take you seriously.

316
00:14:47,871 --> 00:14:49,730
Hello.

317
00:14:50,733 --> 00:14:52,526
Hello.

318
00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:56,913
Uh, four glasses
of water, please.

319
00:14:58,008 --> 00:15:00,412
Anything for you guys?

320
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,955
Can I use your phone?
Our car got stolen.

321
00:15:04,144 --> 00:15:06,194
Why don't you ask Scotty
to beam you up?

322
00:15:09,111 --> 00:15:11,812
Scotty was on the
original series,

323
00:15:11,836 --> 00:15:14,536
and we're <i>Next Generation.</i>

324
00:15:14,858 --> 00:15:18,743
So... joke's on you.

325
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:23,940
We're not with him.

326
00:15:27,940 --> 00:15:30,556
You can't pick something up
in outer space.

327
00:15:30,592 --> 00:15:32,184
In space, there is no up.

328
00:15:32,221 --> 00:15:35,755
Oh, yeah? Then how does
the sun come "up" every day?

329
00:15:37,468 --> 00:15:40,520
Hard to argue with those kind
of street smarts.

330
00:15:44,978 --> 00:15:47,402
Leonard and Sheldon have boxes
of comics across the hall.

331
00:15:47,433 --> 00:15:48,527
Why don't we go look at those?

332
00:15:48,552 --> 00:15:50,385
Oh, great! Yes!
And then you will see.

333
00:15:50,412 --> 00:15:53,272
I am not wrong, because
if we were in outer space,

334
00:15:53,297 --> 00:15:54,638
then anyone
could pick up the hammer

335
00:15:54,656 --> 00:15:57,475
because it would be floating around
in a weightless environment.

336
00:15:57,506 --> 00:15:59,462
Yeah, that's right, the
slow reader used science.

337
00:15:59,512 --> 00:16:00,929
Suck on that.

338
00:16:04,072 --> 00:16:05,878
Was there anything
valuable in the car?

339
00:16:05,909 --> 00:16:08,465
Our clothes,
our wallets, phones.

340
00:16:08,484 --> 00:16:10,410
And about $300 worth of makeup,

341
00:16:10,444 --> 00:16:13,481
so this thief could look like
anyone right now.

342
00:16:15,214 --> 00:16:16,296
Makeup?

343
00:16:16,319 --> 00:16:17,985
Sure.

344
00:16:20,007 --> 00:16:22,627
Uh, we're going to the Comic-Con
in Bakersfield.

345
00:16:22,654 --> 00:16:24,720
They have a big costume contest.

346
00:16:25,557 --> 00:16:27,874
It's cooler than it sounds.

347
00:16:28,775 --> 00:16:31,703
I don't know,
sounds pretty cool.

348
00:16:32,041 --> 00:16:33,874
I-It is.

349
00:16:33,895 --> 00:16:34,943
It's not just comic books.

350
00:16:34,967 --> 00:16:36,631
They've got
action figures, toys,

351
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:39,531
a Tron-themed dance party...
- Okay, he gets how cool it is.

352
00:16:41,068 --> 00:16:42,935
I think I have all I need here.

353
00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:44,573
You guys need me
to call someone?

354
00:16:44,607 --> 00:16:47,608
I'm guessing your moms?

355
00:16:49,529 --> 00:16:51,408
Thanks,
but we've got it covered.

356
00:16:51,429 --> 00:16:54,646
Okay, I just talked to my mom.

357
00:16:58,007 --> 00:16:59,954
She arranged for us
to get a rental car.

358
00:16:59,987 --> 00:17:01,037
Great.

359
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:02,695
We can still make it
to Comic-Con.

360
00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:03,900
Are you kidding me?

361
00:17:03,924 --> 00:17:06,124
After all we've been through,
I just want to go home.

362
00:17:06,263 --> 00:17:07,437
Don't be like that.

363
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:09,099
Come on, Howard, talk to him.

364
00:17:09,450 --> 00:17:10,753
I'm with Leonard.

365
00:17:10,772 --> 00:17:12,466
I'm done.

366
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:15,367
Fine, then I guess
it's two against two.

367
00:17:15,392 --> 00:17:17,233
How do we decide?

368
00:17:18,603 --> 00:17:20,660
Actually,
it's three against one.

369
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:21,635
What?!

370
00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:22,849
What about the mission?

371
00:17:22,882 --> 00:17:24,681
You said we were
a real-life landing party.

372
00:17:24,705 --> 00:17:26,521
Yeah, well, we're not.

373
00:17:26,547 --> 00:17:28,772
We're an imaginary landing party

374
00:17:29,134 --> 00:17:31,166
who had real-life garbage
thrown at us

375
00:17:31,191 --> 00:17:33,942
by real-life strangers
who think we're idiots.

376
00:17:34,952 --> 00:17:37,943
And to tell you the truth,
I'm starting to feel like one.

377
00:17:38,352 --> 00:17:40,919
I want to go home now.

378
00:17:41,815 --> 00:17:43,409
Okay.

379
00:17:43,812 --> 00:17:47,564
Did we at least rent the car
from Enterprise?

380
00:17:49,813 --> 00:17:52,147
Get it? Enterprise?

381
00:17:53,211 --> 00:17:55,879
Screw you. That's funny.

382
00:17:58,833 --> 00:18:00,737
Well, what if the
Hulk picked up Thor

383
00:18:00,761 --> 00:18:02,531
while Thor is
holding the hammer?

384
00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:03,469
Yeah?

385
00:18:03,488 --> 00:18:04,887
Then by the transitive property

386
00:18:04,921 --> 00:18:08,056
of picking things up,
Hulk picked up the hammer.

387
00:18:09,239 --> 00:18:10,145
No.

388
00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:12,302
Hulk picked up Thor,
Thor picked up the hammer.

389
00:18:12,327 --> 00:18:13,409
Okay, hang on.

390
00:18:13,512 --> 00:18:15,139
If I go to a bar
and pick up a guy,

391
00:18:15,158 --> 00:18:17,081
and he picks up a girl,
and then we all leave together,

392
00:18:17,106 --> 00:18:19,139
did I pick up the girl?

393
00:18:23,378 --> 00:18:25,998
Did that ever happen?

394
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:30,825
Hey, are we talking about me
or are we talking about Thor?

395
00:18:37,017 --> 00:18:40,470
Well, I say that's the last time
we ever go outside.

396
00:18:40,667 --> 00:18:41,950
Look, right here.

397
00:18:42,003 --> 00:18:43,943
Red Hulk is picking
up Thor's hammer

398
00:18:43,974 --> 00:18:45,423
'cause Thor's touching it.

399
00:18:45,457 --> 00:18:47,924
No, it's because
they're in space.

400
00:18:47,945 --> 00:18:49,637
He's really
just touching the strap.

401
00:18:49,662 --> 00:18:52,545
- The strap is part of the hammer!
- No, it's not!

402
00:18:53,364 --> 00:18:56,432
Are they actually arguing
about comic books?

403
00:18:56,466 --> 00:18:57,982
No, that can't be right.

404
00:18:58,122 --> 00:18:59,658
Maybe "Thor's Hammer"

405
00:18:59,677 --> 00:19:02,825
is a new color of nail polish.

406
00:19:03,571 --> 00:19:05,380
Then Red Hulk must be worthy.

407
00:19:05,404 --> 00:19:07,404
How could Red Hulk be worthy?

408
00:19:07,535 --> 00:19:09,819
You don't know his life!

409
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:16,275
There's only one
logical explanation.

410
00:19:16,290 --> 00:19:18,424
Somewhere in the desert
we crossed

411
00:19:18,445 --> 00:19:20,539
into an alternate dimension...

412
00:19:20,654 --> 00:19:22,200
where the women in our lives

413
00:19:22,225 --> 00:19:25,193
can finally appreciate
great literature.

414
00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:29,036
If it's an
alternate dimension...

415
00:19:29,331 --> 00:19:32,442
sounds like a job
for a landing party.

416
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:38,744
Captain, what are your orders?

417
00:19:40,151 --> 00:19:42,639
I say we investigate.

418
00:19:45,093 --> 00:19:46,477
Wait.

419
00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:51,098
They might be hostile.

420
00:19:53,035 --> 00:19:54,651
Fine, but set them to stun.

421
00:19:54,797 --> 00:19:56,130
If we vaporize Penny,

422
00:19:56,163 --> 00:19:58,130
I'll never find a girlfriend
that pretty again.

423
00:20:06,868 --> 00:20:08,578
<i>Fun fact:</i>

424
00:20:08,809 --> 00:20:12,869
President Eisenhower signed
the Federal Aid Highway Act

425
00:20:12,890 --> 00:20:15,491
from his hospital room.

426
00:20:15,536 --> 00:20:18,587
Wow, that is interesting.

427
00:20:19,667 --> 00:20:22,618
You learn something new
every day.

428
00:20:23,062 --> 00:20:25,479
Say, can you
name the four state capitols

429
00:20:25,512 --> 00:20:29,002
that are not served
by the interstate system?

430
00:20:29,139 --> 00:20:32,424
Ooh, another quiz.
Yes!
