1
00:00:02,257 --> 00:00:04,458
Look, I know you guys don't want
to do this,
2
00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:05,592
but we have no choice.
3
00:00:05,594 --> 00:00:06,961
So, you can either
bitch and whine
4
00:00:06,963 --> 00:00:08,462
or we can
just get it over with.
5
00:00:08,464 --> 00:00:09,346
I got "whine."
6
00:00:09,348 --> 00:00:11,015
I got the "b word."
7
00:00:11,017 --> 00:00:13,167
Yeah, well,
it's in our contract
8
00:00:13,169 --> 00:00:14,852
to serve on a
university committee.
9
00:00:14,854 --> 00:00:15,853
And frankly,
10
00:00:15,855 --> 00:00:17,104
this is one I believe in.
11
00:00:17,106 --> 00:00:18,439
Okay, here we go.
12
00:00:18,441 --> 00:00:21,341
Encouraging more women to
pursue a career in the sciences.
13
00:00:21,343 --> 00:00:22,776
Come on,
if I was any good
14
00:00:22,778 --> 00:00:24,177
at convincing women to do stuff,
15
00:00:24,179 --> 00:00:26,947
I wouldn't have spent so much of
my 20s in the shower.
16
00:00:28,566 --> 00:00:29,633
If you ask me,
17
00:00:29,635 --> 00:00:31,452
this whole thing is a waste of
our time.
18
00:00:31,454 --> 00:00:32,703
Helping women?
19
00:00:32,705 --> 00:00:35,355
Yeah, helping anyone.
20
00:00:35,357 --> 00:00:37,741
People should take care
of themselves.
21
00:00:37,743 --> 00:00:39,293
Oh, like yesterday,
22
00:00:39,295 --> 00:00:41,495
when you made me drive you
to the dry cleaners,
23
00:00:41,497 --> 00:00:43,363
the pharmacy
and the post office?
24
00:00:43,365 --> 00:00:46,133
I'm not saying people
can't use tools.
25
00:00:47,736 --> 00:00:50,804
Even an otter picks up a rock
when he wants a clam.
26
00:00:52,223 --> 00:00:53,390
You don't think it's worthwhile
27
00:00:53,392 --> 00:00:55,476
to try to get more women
working in science.
28
00:00:55,478 --> 00:00:57,644
I think
that's incredibly sexist of you.
29
00:00:57,646 --> 00:00:59,980
I believe in a
gender-blind society
30
00:00:59,982 --> 00:01:02,983
like in Star Trek,
where women and men
31
00:01:02,985 --> 00:01:06,570
of all races and creeds
work side by side as equals.
32
00:01:06,572 --> 00:01:09,073
You mean
where they were advanced enough
33
00:01:09,075 --> 00:01:11,125
to invent
an interstellar warp drive,
34
00:01:11,127 --> 00:01:14,528
but a black lady still answered
the space phone?
35
00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:17,164
Oh, I did spend a lot of my
36
00:01:17,166 --> 00:01:19,116
shower time
with Lieutenant Uhura.
37
00:01:20,502 --> 00:01:23,904
Howard's
disturbing recollections aside,
38
00:01:23,906 --> 00:01:26,290
I don't appreciate
being forced to do
39
00:01:26,292 --> 00:01:27,424
banal committee work.
40
00:01:27,426 --> 00:01:29,343
Yes, I know,
you're too smart for this.
41
00:01:29,345 --> 00:01:30,327
Exactly.
42
00:01:30,329 --> 00:01:31,795
It's like
asking the Human Torch
43
00:01:31,797 --> 00:01:34,515
to heat up your frozen burrito.
44
00:01:34,517 --> 00:01:35,599
Got it.
45
00:01:35,601 --> 00:01:37,601
All right,
I'm thinking one way
46
00:01:37,603 --> 00:01:39,520
to counter bias
in the peer-review process,
47
00:01:39,522 --> 00:01:41,972
is for papers to be submitted
under gender-neutral names.
48
00:01:41,974 --> 00:01:43,357
Like S. Smith
49
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:44,608
instead of Samantha Smith.
50
00:01:44,610 --> 00:01:47,394
I suppose there is a history of
professional women
51
00:01:47,396 --> 00:01:50,064
using their initials,
so as not to be pre-judged.
52
00:01:50,066 --> 00:01:52,316
Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling,
53
00:01:52,318 --> 00:01:54,485
uh, Star Trek's D.C. Fontana.
54
00:01:54,487 --> 00:01:57,538
Van Nuys pole-dancer
D.D. Melons.
55
00:01:59,874 --> 00:02:02,326
All right, I think we've
really helped women today.
56
00:02:02,328 --> 00:02:03,877
Let's fire
up the old Xbox.
57
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,163
Guys, please don't make this
a school project
58
00:02:06,165 --> 00:02:07,998
where I'm the smart kid doing
all the work
59
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,633
while the slackers
sit back and watch.
60
00:02:09,635 --> 00:02:10,884
No, we're not.
61
00:02:10,886 --> 00:02:12,236
This time you're the smart
kid doing all the work
62
00:02:12,238 --> 00:02:15,089
while the even smarter kids
sit back and watch.
63
00:02:16,007 --> 00:02:18,058
So, you think I'm
one of the smarter kids?
64
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:20,561
No, you're a tool I was

75
00:02:48,776 --> 00:02:51,610
Guys, our topic is "Encouraging
Women in Science."
76
00:02:51,612 --> 00:02:54,029
Can you at least play
a less sexist game
77
00:02:58,134 --> 00:03:00,368
How is it sexist?
78
00:03:00,370 --> 00:03:04,289
My character wields a
battle axe as well as any man.
79
00:03:05,425 --> 00:03:07,342
Not to mention she
has mammary glands
80
00:03:07,344 --> 00:03:09,044
that could
nurse a family of 30.
81
00:03:10,346 --> 00:03:15,600
And have enough milk left over
to open a Baskin Robbins.
82
00:03:15,602 --> 00:03:19,438
Mother, warrior-princess,
franchise owner--
83
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,808
I hear glass ceilings
shattering all over town.
84
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:24,559
Sheldon,
you're always saying
85
00:03:24,561 --> 00:03:26,445
how much smarter
you are than me.
86
00:03:26,447 --> 00:03:28,313
Spend five seconds
and come up with one idea
87
00:03:28,315 --> 00:03:30,198
on how to get more women
into science.
88
00:03:31,951 --> 00:03:35,403
All your ideas address the issue
at a university level.
89
00:03:35,405 --> 00:03:36,455
By then it's too late.
90
00:03:36,457 --> 00:03:38,673
You need to
design an outreach program
91
00:03:38,675 --> 00:03:40,375
that targets girls
at the middle school level
92
00:03:40,377 --> 00:03:42,244
and sets them on an
academic track
93
00:03:42,246 --> 00:03:43,712
towards the hard sciences.
94
00:03:43,714 --> 00:03:45,447
That's actually good.
95
00:03:45,449 --> 00:03:47,833
Why didn't I
think of that?
96
00:03:47,835 --> 00:03:50,001
Some people are otters,
some people are rocks.
97
00:03:53,890 --> 00:03:55,390
I wonder if there's a way
98
00:03:55,392 --> 00:03:57,792
we could give the idea
a trial run.
99
00:03:57,794 --> 00:04:01,313
Maybe I could call my old
middle school,
100
00:04:01,315 --> 00:04:04,132
see if we can talk to some of
the female students.
101
00:04:04,134 --> 00:04:05,300
That's great--
try to set up something
102
00:04:05,302 --> 00:04:06,935
for the three of us
to go over there.
103
00:04:06,937 --> 00:04:08,153
Oh, hold on.
104
00:04:08,155 --> 00:04:09,955
While I'm comfortable speaking
about science,
105
00:04:09,957 --> 00:04:12,941
I'm not sure I know how to spark
the interest of schoolchildren.
106
00:04:12,943 --> 00:04:15,410
Better Google it.
107
00:04:15,412 --> 00:04:17,462
What exactly are you looking up?
108
00:04:17,464 --> 00:04:21,700
"How do I get
12-year-old girls excited."
109
00:04:21,702 --> 00:04:23,568
No!
No!
110
00:04:28,407 --> 00:04:31,092
Thanks again for letting
me crash "girls' night."
111
00:04:31,094 --> 00:04:32,127
Are you kidding?
112
00:04:32,129 --> 00:04:34,162
You brought fancy
wine and made fondue.
113
00:04:34,164 --> 00:04:36,548
I've slept
with guys for less.
114
00:04:41,387 --> 00:04:43,305
It's a joke.
115
00:04:43,307 --> 00:04:45,506
Based on real events.
116
00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:48,777
Anyway,
I was hoping I could, uh,
117
00:04:48,779 --> 00:04:49,895
pick your brains a little.
118
00:04:49,897 --> 00:04:51,613
I'm supposed to take
Lucy out Friday
119
00:04:51,615 --> 00:04:53,398
and I need a killer first date.
120
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,735
Well, evolutionary biology
says that women are attracted
121
00:04:56,737 --> 00:04:59,204
to a man who is steady
in the face of danger,
122
00:04:59,206 --> 00:05:01,823
so I recommend an
unsafe environment.
123
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:06,795
Seedy bar on the wrong
side of the tracks...
124
00:05:06,797 --> 00:05:10,198
picnic near
a lunatic asylum...
125
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,301
a wine tasting on Skid Row.
126
00:05:14,387 --> 00:05:17,756
Eh, Lucy has some,
uh, social anxiety issues.
127
00:05:17,758 --> 00:05:19,591
Maybe we could start
with something simpler.
128
00:05:19,593 --> 00:05:22,010
Why don't you take
her to Disneyland?
129
00:05:22,012 --> 00:05:23,478
You go on Space Mountain,
130
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,363
you're in the dark,
she's holding onto you.
131
00:05:25,365 --> 00:05:26,481
Yeah, but you
just have to remember,
132
00:05:26,483 --> 00:05:27,933
that ride is
shorter than you think
133
00:05:27,935 --> 00:05:29,884
and they take a
picture of you at the end,
134
00:05:29,886 --> 00:05:32,020
so make sure
you got your clothes back on.
135
00:05:34,357 --> 00:05:37,242
It's a joke.
136
00:05:37,244 --> 00:05:39,194
Based on real events.
137
00:05:39,196 --> 00:05:40,228
Mm, Disneyland?
138
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:41,613
I don't know.
139
00:05:41,615 --> 00:05:43,698
With all the crowds and the
weird characters walking around,
140
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:45,700
just reminds me
too much of India.
141
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:49,537
I haven't been to Disneyland
since I was a kid.
142
00:05:49,539 --> 00:05:50,872
We should
definitely go one weekend.
143
00:05:50,874 --> 00:05:52,257
Weekends are too crowded.
144
00:05:52,259 --> 00:05:53,959
So, blow off work,
go on a weekday.
145
00:05:53,961 --> 00:05:55,594
Hooky?
146
00:05:55,596 --> 00:05:57,646
I've never
played hooky in my life.
147
00:05:57,648 --> 00:05:59,531
My mom said
that's how girls end up
148
00:05:59,533 --> 00:06:02,133
addicted to
reefer and jazz music.
149
00:06:03,569 --> 00:06:06,421
It's more like how girls end up
at a Best Western hotel
150
00:06:06,423 --> 00:06:08,857
with a 34-year-old guy
named Luther.
151
00:06:10,977 --> 00:06:11,977
Joke?
152
00:06:11,979 --> 00:06:14,529
I can laugh about it now.
153
00:06:17,617 --> 00:06:18,817
So, what do you say?
154
00:06:18,819 --> 00:06:20,485
This Friday we ditch work
and go to Disneyland?
155
00:06:20,487 --> 00:06:21,519
I'm in.
156
00:06:21,521 --> 00:06:23,154
Me, too.
157
00:06:23,156 --> 00:06:24,322
Excuse me,
158
00:06:24,324 --> 00:06:26,908
I thought we were trying to
solve my problem?
159
00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:28,460
Oh, yeah, right.
160
00:06:28,462 --> 00:06:29,744
Wait, what was your problem
again?
161
00:06:29,746 --> 00:06:33,114
I am a man
who can't talk to women,
162
00:06:33,116 --> 00:06:35,467
trying to figure out how to go
on a romantic date
163
00:06:35,469 --> 00:06:37,502
with a girl who suffers
from such crippling
164
00:06:37,504 --> 00:06:40,722
social anxiety she can't be
around other people.
165
00:06:40,724 --> 00:06:43,375
Yeah, that's a toughie.
166
00:06:44,577 --> 00:06:46,711
Let's think.
167
00:06:46,713 --> 00:06:47,879
Hmm.
168
00:06:53,085 --> 00:06:57,522
We doing just Disney
or California Adventure, too?
169
00:06:58,658 --> 00:07:00,659
It's nice
of your old school
170
00:07:00,661 --> 00:07:03,695
to let us try out our science
talk on some female students.
171
00:07:03,697 --> 00:07:04,913
Well, they're
actually pretty excited.
172
00:07:04,915 --> 00:07:07,098
I'm their
most famous alum.
173
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,433
If you don't
count the serial killer
174
00:07:08,435 --> 00:07:10,151
who ate all
those prostitutes.
175
00:07:12,288 --> 00:07:13,705
This must feel
pretty good for you,
176
00:07:13,707 --> 00:07:16,091
coming back to your
alma mater as an astronaut.
177
00:07:16,093 --> 00:07:20,962
Yeah, last time I was here, I
was just a scrawny little nerd.
178
00:07:20,964 --> 00:07:24,665
And now
you're also an astronaut.
179
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:25,850
So many memories.
180
00:07:25,852 --> 00:07:28,303
I mean, how many
times in these hallways
181
00:07:28,305 --> 00:07:32,357
was I tripped,
punched and spit on?
182
00:07:32,359 --> 00:07:34,509
Oh, look,
here's my old locker.
183
00:07:34,511 --> 00:07:37,162
I have a
masters in engineering
184
00:07:37,164 --> 00:07:40,699
and I still can't figure out
how Scott Kapinski
185
00:07:40,701 --> 00:07:42,867
got me and my briefcase
to fit in there.
186
00:07:46,572 --> 00:07:47,789
Hey.
187
00:07:47,791 --> 00:07:49,857
What?
188
00:07:49,859 --> 00:07:51,493
Nothing.
189
00:07:53,913 --> 00:07:56,164
Smart. We don't
want any problems.
190
00:07:58,384 --> 00:08:00,668
I can't believe I ditched work
for Disneyland.
191
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:02,420
What did you
tell your boss?
192
00:08:02,422 --> 00:08:04,839
Oh, I was very clever,
I did it in stages.
193
00:08:04,841 --> 00:08:06,474
At 7:00 last night,
194
00:08:06,476 --> 00:08:08,226
I called about
a problem at the lab
195
00:08:08,228 --> 00:08:10,645
and casually mentioned
I was going out for seafood.
196
00:08:10,647 --> 00:08:12,097
At 9:30,
197
00:08:12,099 --> 00:08:15,683
I called and told him that
one of my scallops tasted weird.
198
00:08:15,685 --> 00:08:17,402
At 11:30, I called and said
199
00:08:17,404 --> 00:08:19,354
I was
throwing up like a fire hose.
200
00:08:21,023 --> 00:08:25,226
At 12:45, I called and made
nothing but dry heaving sounds,
201
00:08:25,228 --> 00:08:27,529
and now I'm
going to Disneyland.
202
00:08:29,198 --> 00:08:31,116
Penny, what did you say?
203
00:08:31,118 --> 00:08:32,417
I work at the
Cheesecake Factory,
204
00:08:32,419 --> 00:08:34,202
I said "bye."
205
00:08:35,671 --> 00:08:37,705
So, what are we
gonna do first?
206
00:08:37,707 --> 00:08:38,923
I don't know
about you guys,
207
00:08:38,925 --> 00:08:40,208
but I'm gonna make
a beeline for the place
208
00:08:40,210 --> 00:08:41,593
that gives you
a princess makeover.
209
00:08:41,595 --> 00:08:43,211
Ooh, that sounds like fun.
210
00:08:43,213 --> 00:08:44,712
You're
kidding, right?
211
00:08:44,714 --> 00:08:47,298
We're not just gonna get drunk
and go on rides?
212
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,351
Come on, do it with us.
213
00:08:50,353 --> 00:08:52,137
All right, whatever.
214
00:08:52,139 --> 00:08:53,354
How does it work?
215
00:08:53,356 --> 00:08:54,589
Okay, so,
you pick your princess--
216
00:08:54,591 --> 00:08:56,641
Sleeping Beauty, Snow White
Cinderella--
217
00:08:56,643 --> 00:08:58,977
they give you
hair, makeup, the works.
218
00:08:58,979 --> 00:09:02,263
Guess it would be fun
to be Cinderella.
219
00:09:02,265 --> 00:09:03,815
Oh, I want to be Cinderella, too.
Yeah.
220
00:09:04,985 --> 00:09:07,035
We can't all be Cinderella.
221
00:09:10,072 --> 00:09:11,372
Then how do we decide?
222
00:09:11,374 --> 00:09:12,490
Well, it's simple.
223
00:09:12,492 --> 00:09:13,774
This was my idea.
224
00:09:13,776 --> 00:09:14,793
I'm driving.
225
00:09:14,795 --> 00:09:15,710
I'm Cinderella.
226
00:09:15,712 --> 00:09:17,278
You bitches
got a problem with that,
227
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,297
we could stop the car right now.
228
00:09:31,793 --> 00:09:35,630
Excuse me,
I'm meeting a girl here.
229
00:09:35,632 --> 00:09:36,931
It's kind of our first date.
230
00:09:36,933 --> 00:09:39,484
In a library?
231
00:09:39,486 --> 00:09:42,470
She and I
are both a little awkward
232
00:09:42,472 --> 00:09:45,690
in social situations,
so this seemed like a good idea.
233
00:09:45,692 --> 00:09:50,745
People say
I'm a little awkward, too.
234
00:09:50,747 --> 00:09:52,630
May I join you?
235
00:09:52,632 --> 00:09:55,700
No, you can't join us.
236
00:09:55,702 --> 00:09:57,502
Just go-go climb back up
237
00:09:57,504 --> 00:09:59,954
whatever beanstalk you came
down from.
238
00:10:05,344 --> 00:10:07,178
You can do better.
239
00:10:11,917 --> 00:10:13,968
Oh, we're eating here?
240
00:10:20,109 --> 00:10:22,026
We're having
a texting date?
241
00:10:26,448 --> 00:10:27,866
I love that.
242
00:10:31,019 --> 00:10:34,188
As you're reading,
it will help to remember
243
00:10:34,190 --> 00:10:38,243
I have an adorable accent.
244
00:10:40,579 --> 00:10:45,550
Okay,
who's ready for some science?
245
00:10:49,037 --> 00:10:51,205
Me, too.
246
00:10:51,207 --> 00:10:53,341
Okay, I am
Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.
247
00:10:53,343 --> 00:10:55,093
I am here with my friends
Dr. Cooper
248
00:10:55,095 --> 00:10:58,479
and real-life astronaut
Howard Wolowitz,
249
00:10:58,481 --> 00:11:00,098
and we are going
to show you girls
250
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,851
how cool a job
in science can be.
251
00:11:03,853 --> 00:11:05,069
How cool, you ask?
252
00:11:05,071 --> 00:11:08,106
Well, how about
negative 273 degrees,
253
00:11:08,108 --> 00:11:09,190
'cause that's the temperature
254
00:11:09,192 --> 00:11:12,877
at which entropy reaches
its minimum value.
255
00:11:14,897 --> 00:11:17,782
Did I just learn something new
and have fun doing it?
256
00:11:17,784 --> 00:11:20,084
What?
257
00:11:22,421 --> 00:11:25,023
All right!
258
00:11:25,025 --> 00:11:27,008
So now let's bring out
259
00:11:27,010 --> 00:11:28,909
theoretical physicist
260
00:11:28,911 --> 00:11:32,297
Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
261
00:11:36,719 --> 00:11:38,886
Hello, female children.
262
00:11:39,755 --> 00:11:42,824
Allow me to inspire you
263
00:11:42,826 --> 00:11:46,494
with a story
about a great female scientist.
264
00:11:46,496 --> 00:11:51,449
Polish-born, French-educated
Madame Curie.
265
00:11:51,451 --> 00:11:53,318
Codiscoverer of
radioactivity,
266
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,286
she was a hero
267
00:11:55,288 --> 00:11:59,123
of science...
until her hair fell out;
268
00:11:59,125 --> 00:12:02,543
her vomit and stool became
filled with blood...
269
00:12:02,545 --> 00:12:04,178
and she was poisoned
270
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:07,048
to death by her own discovery.
271
00:12:08,417 --> 00:12:09,968
With a little hard work,
272
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:13,921
I see no reason why
that can't happen to any of you.
273
00:12:17,142 --> 00:12:18,593
Are we done?
274
00:12:18,595 --> 00:12:20,745
Can we go?
275
00:12:24,134 --> 00:12:26,334
The thing to remember is
276
00:12:26,336 --> 00:12:28,553
you can go to outer space, too.
277
00:12:28,555 --> 00:12:30,422
I mean, look at me.
278
00:12:30,424 --> 00:12:32,790
I went to this very school.
279
00:12:32,792 --> 00:12:35,510
Those desks you're sitting in,
280
00:12:35,512 --> 00:12:38,012
I was once superglued
to one of them.
281
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:41,900
Did you go to the moon?
282
00:12:41,902 --> 00:12:43,985
No, but I did go
283
00:12:43,987 --> 00:12:47,105
to the
International Space Station.
284
00:12:47,107 --> 00:12:47,972
Did you fly the rocket?
285
00:12:47,974 --> 00:12:49,557
No,
286
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,310
but I was in the rocket.
287
00:12:52,312 --> 00:12:53,978
I didn't actually...
288
00:12:53,980 --> 00:12:56,081
So you just flew around?
That's kind of like my uncle.
289
00:12:56,083 --> 00:12:57,482
He's a flight attendant.
290
00:13:01,921 --> 00:13:03,088
No...
291
00:13:03,090 --> 00:13:04,506
I'm an American hero.
292
00:13:04,508 --> 00:13:06,491
Your uncle
brings people nuts, okay?
293
00:13:06,493 --> 00:13:09,794
Boy, we are learning
a lot here, huh?
294
00:13:09,796 --> 00:13:12,013
Thank you, astronaut Howard.
295
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:16,017
Um, I am what's called
an experimental physicist,
296
00:13:16,019 --> 00:13:19,938
which is super-fun,
because I get to test theories
297
00:13:19,940 --> 00:13:21,272
and work with lasers.
298
00:13:21,274 --> 00:13:22,574
Yes?
299
00:13:22,576 --> 00:13:24,692
How did you decide
to become a scientist?
300
00:13:24,694 --> 00:13:26,144
Uh, excellent question.
301
00:13:26,146 --> 00:13:30,014
Um, I suppose I've always been
into science, you know...
302
00:13:30,016 --> 00:13:31,849
My mother and father
are scientists,
303
00:13:31,851 --> 00:13:33,851
so I was kind of led
in that direction.
304
00:13:33,853 --> 00:13:36,654
Eh, pushed might be
a better way to describe it.
305
00:13:36,656 --> 00:13:38,406
To be honest
with you guys,
306
00:13:38,408 --> 00:13:39,707
when I was your age,
307
00:13:39,709 --> 00:13:41,576
I wanted to be a rap star.
308
00:13:42,795 --> 00:13:43,995
Like Snoop Dogg,
309
00:13:43,997 --> 00:13:46,197
but with a healthy respect
for the police.
310
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:50,051
Yeah, no, sure, you laugh.
311
00:13:50,053 --> 00:13:52,587
Just like my mother did.
312
00:13:53,389 --> 00:13:55,873
After I confided,
I was derided
313
00:13:55,875 --> 00:13:57,459
and chided,
my moms and I collided.
314
00:13:57,461 --> 00:13:59,710
She said my dreams
were misguided.
315
00:14:05,017 --> 00:14:08,219
That's just a little freestyle.
316
00:14:10,856 --> 00:14:13,658
My dad's a gynecologist
in India,
317
00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:16,227
so if you're over there
and need a check up,
318
00:14:16,229 --> 00:14:19,730
as he likes to say,
he's "at your cervix."
319
00:14:24,503 --> 00:14:26,621
That's terrible.
320
00:14:26,623 --> 00:14:29,390
Your dad should be sent
to the pun-itentiary.
321
00:14:33,929 --> 00:14:35,964
That's a fitting
322
00:14:35,966 --> 00:14:37,465
pun-ishment.
323
00:14:42,354 --> 00:14:44,722
I still don't know
what you do for a living.
324
00:14:46,425 --> 00:14:49,027
Web design.
325
00:14:51,597 --> 00:14:53,882
Anything I might have seen?
326
00:14:55,317 --> 00:14:57,402
I don't know.
327
00:14:57,404 --> 00:14:59,504
You ever look
at porn Web sites?
328
00:15:10,266 --> 00:15:12,300
No, never.
329
00:15:12,302 --> 00:15:14,552
What is porn?
330
00:15:17,423 --> 00:15:19,541
Sorry. Autocorrect.
331
00:15:19,543 --> 00:15:21,559
That was supposed to say
332
00:15:21,561 --> 00:15:23,794
"prom Web sites."
333
00:15:27,483 --> 00:15:30,868
Ooh, fun. I love prom.
334
00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:32,337
The romance, the gowns,
335
00:15:32,339 --> 00:15:34,906
it's like a fairy tale come
to life.
336
00:15:43,082 --> 00:15:44,515
Sorry. Autocorrect.
337
00:15:44,517 --> 00:15:45,750
That was supposed to say,
338
00:15:45,752 --> 00:15:48,119
"I like sports."
339
00:15:51,006 --> 00:15:54,442
I never wanted to play
the cello.
340
00:15:55,678 --> 00:15:58,046
How do you meet girls
playing the cello?
341
00:15:58,048 --> 00:15:59,881
"Hey, you want
to come over to my house
342
00:15:59,883 --> 00:16:01,366
"and listen to me play
an instrument
343
00:16:01,368 --> 00:16:03,601
that sounds like
a suicidal bumblebee?"
344
00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:06,638
Quick,
pull the fire alarm.
345
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,856
Let's get out of here.
346
00:16:08,858 --> 00:16:10,441
Uh, hello again.
347
00:16:10,443 --> 00:16:14,312
Um, yeah, I don't know
if women in general
348
00:16:14,314 --> 00:16:17,899
have been actively discouraged
from pursuing the sciences,
349
00:16:17,901 --> 00:16:22,853
but it's clear you young women
here, today, have been.
350
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:30,211
While I was listening to
my colleagues waste your time,
351
00:16:30,213 --> 00:16:33,698
it occurred to me that it
might be much more meaningful
352
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:36,000
to hear about women in science
353
00:16:36,002 --> 00:16:38,553
from actual women in science,
354
00:16:38,555 --> 00:16:41,556
and, uh, I happen to know
two brilliant examples
355
00:16:41,558 --> 00:16:44,842
who have agreed to speak
to you on the phone right now.
356
00:16:44,844 --> 00:16:48,346
Uh, Dr. Rostenkowski,
Dr. Fowler, are you there?
357
00:16:48,348 --> 00:16:50,481
We're here.
358
00:16:50,483 --> 00:16:53,101
Thank you for taking time
out of your very busy schedule
359
00:16:53,103 --> 00:16:56,020
to enlighten these young women.
360
00:16:56,022 --> 00:16:58,723
It's our pleasure.
361
00:17:02,328 --> 00:17:04,696
I'm Dr. Fowler, and
I'm a neuroscientist.
362
00:17:04,698 --> 00:17:06,897
And I'm
Dr. Rostenkowski Wolowitz,
363
00:17:06,899 --> 00:17:08,499
and I'm a microbiologist.
364
00:17:08,501 --> 00:17:11,085
The world of science
needs more women,
365
00:17:11,087 --> 00:17:14,372
but from a young age, we
girls are encouraged to care
366
00:17:14,374 --> 00:17:16,007
more about the way we look
367
00:17:16,009 --> 00:17:19,344
than about the
power of our minds.
368
00:17:20,946 --> 00:17:22,580
That's true.
369
00:17:22,582 --> 00:17:24,465
Every one of you has
the capacity
370
00:17:24,467 --> 00:17:26,300
to be anything you want to be.
371
00:17:26,302 --> 00:17:29,754
Unless you want
to be Cinderella.
372
00:17:29,756 --> 00:17:31,305
Come at me.
373
00:17:31,307 --> 00:17:32,807
See what happens.
374
00:17:35,878 --> 00:17:38,262
This was really fun.
375
00:17:40,098 --> 00:17:43,901
My battery's dying,
so I'm just gonna talk.
376
00:17:43,903 --> 00:17:46,154
Thanks for today.
377
00:17:46,156 --> 00:17:48,773
I've been trying to do
more things that scare me,
378
00:17:48,775 --> 00:17:51,776
and coming here
was definitely one of them.
379
00:17:52,578 --> 00:17:54,212
But it was also really nice.
380
00:17:54,214 --> 00:17:57,215
So thanks, and, um,
381
00:17:57,217 --> 00:17:58,750
I'm gonna go.
382
00:18:02,805 --> 00:18:06,057
Maybe I could do
one more scary thing
383
00:18:06,059 --> 00:18:09,460
before I go
and give you a kiss good-bye?
384
00:18:09,462 --> 00:18:10,978
You know,
385
00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:13,064
if that's okay.
386
00:18:16,268 --> 00:18:19,070
Okay.
387
00:18:20,606 --> 00:18:22,790
Panic attack!
Maybe next time.
388
00:18:26,978 --> 00:18:29,146
I'm counting that as foreplay.
389
00:18:33,931 --> 00:18:35,171
Bernie,
390
00:18:35,172 --> 00:18:37,322
I'm home.
391
00:18:37,324 --> 00:18:39,174
You have fun today?
392
00:18:39,176 --> 00:18:42,428
Yes, and I have a
surprise for you.
393
00:18:42,430 --> 00:18:46,064
Please be Cinderella.
Please be Cinderella.
394
00:18:46,066 --> 00:18:49,551
Well, hello, Prince Charming.
395
00:18:53,139 --> 00:18:55,674
Milady.
396
00:19:07,404 --> 00:19:10,489
Hey, how was your... what?
397
00:19:10,491 --> 00:19:12,074
I can explain.
398
00:19:12,076 --> 00:19:13,659
I played hooky with the girls,
399
00:19:13,661 --> 00:19:15,878
then we all went to Disneyland
and got...
400
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,129
What are you doing?
401
00:19:17,131 --> 00:19:20,249
Disneyland. Go on,
I'm listening.
402
00:19:22,585 --> 00:19:28,307
Sheldon, all Snow White needs
is one little kiss to wake up.
403
00:19:28,309 --> 00:19:30,986
Heard you the first time.
404
00:19:31,086 --> 00:19:36,086
