1
00:00:02,608 --> 00:00:04,673
Ha-Have you guys heard
about this research team
2
00:00:04,696 --> 00:00:07,536
that's trying to transgenically
manipulate chicken DNA
3
00:00:07,551 --> 00:00:09,958
to create some sort
of chicken dinosaur?
4
00:00:09,982 --> 00:00:12,983
Oh, I think that
sounds wonderful.
5
00:00:14,226 --> 00:00:17,937
What? You're afraid
of both dinosaurs and chickens.
6
00:00:17,974 --> 00:00:21,053
Yes, but tell me a dinosaur
chicken salad sandwich
7
00:00:21,069 --> 00:00:23,364
wouldn't hit the
Mesozoic spot.
8
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:28,035
- Hey, guys.
- Hey. - Hello.
9
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:29,246
We still on for
tomorrow night?
10
00:00:29,268 --> 00:00:31,297
Yeah. I'm excited
to finally meet your girlfriend.
11
00:00:31,327 --> 00:00:33,219
Yeah, oh, and
speaking of which.
12
00:00:33,242 --> 00:00:36,422
According to a recent study
out of Oxford University,
13
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:38,993
when someone takes on
a new romantic partner,
14
00:00:39,007 --> 00:00:42,735
that person loses one
or two close friends.
15
00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:45,227
Since when do you read
social science?
16
00:00:45,235 --> 00:00:48,020
I go to the bathroom
like everybody else.
17
00:00:48,796 --> 00:00:50,916
Why would I lose friends just
because I started dating someone?
18
00:00:50,931 --> 00:00:52,838
Yeah, you didn't lose anyone
when you met Amy.
19
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:56,806
Yeah, well, no, the study
refers to romantic partners.
20
00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:59,532
Not the way I would
categorize the two of us.
21
00:00:59,547 --> 00:01:00,890
You guys kiss and hold hands.
22
00:01:00,913 --> 00:01:03,832
I've seen him do it.
It's not romantic.
23
00:01:04,618 --> 00:01:05,969
Look, I'm not the kind of guy
24
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:08,594
who drops his friends just
because he's in a relationship.
25
00:01:08,622 --> 00:01:10,672
What happens
if she doesn't like us?
26
00:01:10,705 --> 00:01:12,701
Well, hey, you're
my dear friends.
27
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:16,005
You'll get a Christmas card for a couple
of years, and then you're dead to me.

38
00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:46,615
So, Howard, is Stuart still
living with your mom?
39
00:01:46,637 --> 00:01:48,166
I don't want
to talk about it.
40
00:01:48,191 --> 00:01:51,496
- But he's going to.
- My mom got him cable!
41
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:54,670
In my whole life, growing up
in that house-- no cable.
42
00:01:54,677 --> 00:01:58,248
Do you know how many HBOs that leech
had my mother get him? Seven.
43
00:01:58,263 --> 00:02:01,560
Seven HBOs. Seven!
44
00:02:01,584 --> 00:02:04,361
Long story short,
they have seven HBOs.
45
00:02:05,949 --> 00:02:07,434
- Hey, guys.
- Hey. - Hello. - Hey.
46
00:02:07,449 --> 00:02:09,372
- Emily, you know almost everybody here.
- Hi.
47
00:02:09,403 --> 00:02:10,948
This is Leonard,
this is Penny.
48
00:02:10,971 --> 00:02:13,460
- Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
- Nice to finally meet you, too.
49
00:02:13,485 --> 00:02:15,641
- Hi.
- Hello.
50
00:02:15,656 --> 00:02:17,721
Well, Raj, you were
not lying about her.
51
00:02:17,751 --> 00:02:19,878
I told you she exists.
52
00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:22,838
Hey, I hear you're
a dermatologist.
53
00:02:22,861 --> 00:02:25,408
Uh, yeah, I'm a resident
at Huntington Hospital.
54
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,651
Oh, I like their
emergency room.
55
00:02:28,666 --> 00:02:31,212
Yeah, even if it turns out
you don't have Dengue fever,
56
00:02:31,235 --> 00:02:33,557
they still let you
take a lollipop.
57
00:02:35,158 --> 00:02:38,229
You know, Penny just started training
to be a pharmaceutical sales rep.
58
00:02:38,252 --> 00:02:40,008
Maybe she can practice
on you some time.
59
00:02:40,023 --> 00:02:42,602
Oh, it would be great
to practice on a real doctor.
60
00:02:42,625 --> 00:02:44,821
Yeah. I'm sure
that'd be fine.
61
00:02:44,843 --> 00:02:48,638
I have some odd
freckles on my buttocks.
62
00:02:50,072 --> 00:02:53,407
Can I make an appointment
for you to look at them?
63
00:02:54,102 --> 00:02:57,101
Um... okay, I guess.
64
00:02:58,258 --> 00:02:59,647
I'm with him three
years, nothing.
65
00:02:59,671 --> 00:03:02,773
She's with two minutes, and
he's taking his pants off.
66
00:03:07,663 --> 00:03:10,500
Last night was fun.
What did you think of Emily?
67
00:03:10,522 --> 00:03:13,663
I don't know. I kind of got
the sense she didn't like me.
68
00:03:13,678 --> 00:03:15,178
Did she say she didn't like you?
69
00:03:15,193 --> 00:03:18,802
Of course not. No one ever says they
don't like you straight to your face.
70
00:03:18,818 --> 00:03:21,516
We have led different lives.
71
00:03:23,776 --> 00:03:26,120
You guys just met.
Why would she feel that way?
72
00:03:26,135 --> 00:03:27,698
It's just this vibe I got.
73
00:03:27,721 --> 00:03:29,282
I'm sure you're worried
about nothing.
74
00:03:29,305 --> 00:03:30,508
Yeah.
You're probably right.
75
00:03:30,531 --> 00:03:32,673
I used to think my high school P.E.
teacher didn't like me,
76
00:03:32,698 --> 00:03:35,193
but it turned out,
she liked me a little too much.
77
00:03:36,005 --> 00:03:37,568
- Really?
- Yeah. It was fine.
78
00:03:37,591 --> 00:03:41,516
We went to a Melissa Etheridge concert,
I got an A, it all worked out.
79
00:03:42,248 --> 00:03:45,116
When you go to Emily's office to
practice, you'll see. It's fine.
80
00:03:45,122 --> 00:03:46,967
Yeah, I hope you're right.
81
00:03:46,989 --> 00:03:52,108
You really went your entire life without
anyone saying “I hate you” to your face?
82
00:03:53,179 --> 00:03:54,837
Yeah.
83
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:58,070
I'd say it now,
but look at those cheekbones.
84
00:04:04,618 --> 00:04:07,009
I miss Stuart's place.
85
00:04:07,034 --> 00:04:10,839
All this loud music
and exposed brick.
86
00:04:10,862 --> 00:04:12,644
What, is this
a comic book store,
87
00:04:12,659 --> 00:04:16,068
or a rave at the third
little pig's house?
88
00:04:17,819 --> 00:04:21,679
Yup, I wish Stuart would reopen.
I hate this place, too.
89
00:04:21,686 --> 00:04:27,524
Okay, him I believe because he's an
80-year-old man in a 15-year-old's T-shirt.
90
00:04:27,555 --> 00:04:31,649
But you're just upset about Stuart
and your mom and all their HBOs.
91
00:04:31,687 --> 00:04:35,034
Yes, I am. You know, I can't
even watch Game of Thrones now
92
00:04:35,057 --> 00:04:39,779
without thinking of mother saying,
“Stuart, which one is Thrones?”
93
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:43,741
You know, he might not reopen.
94
00:04:43,764 --> 00:04:45,592
He didn't get a lot of money
from the insurance company.
95
00:04:45,623 --> 00:04:48,263
Oh, boy, if there is one thing
that gets my goat,
96
00:04:48,278 --> 00:04:51,903
those dad-gum
insurance companies.
97
00:04:51,922 --> 00:04:54,488
Why? Because they won't
get off your lawn?
98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,081
Oh, is Stuart trying to get a
loan, or-or find investors?
99
00:05:02,106 --> 00:05:07,485
All I know is, he's got my mother buying
four-ply toilet paper. I mean, four-ply.
100
00:05:08,237 --> 00:05:11,852
If his butt is so delicate, why
doesn't he just use an angora rabbit?
101
00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:15,956
For starters,
they shed and bite.
102
00:05:18,419 --> 00:05:19,981
Hey, here's a thought.
103
00:05:20,004 --> 00:05:23,007
Why don't we put up the rest
of the money that Stuart needs?
104
00:05:24,386 --> 00:05:27,878
So, we'd be, like, owners
of a comic book store?
105
00:05:28,931 --> 00:05:30,744
It's kind of a
dream come true.
106
00:05:30,758 --> 00:05:32,172
That does sound fun.
107
00:05:32,197 --> 00:05:36,111
Ooh, maybe we could come up with a
business plan to compete with this place.
108
00:05:36,134 --> 00:05:38,127
I'll give you a plan right now.
109
00:05:38,151 --> 00:05:40,596
Step one:
Open comic book store.
110
00:05:40,613 --> 00:05:45,100
Step two: Start rumor this comic
book store gives you genital warts.
111
00:05:47,231 --> 00:05:51,400
Step three: Buy a big bag
to put the money in.
112
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,523
It's not that bad.
113
00:06:01,477 --> 00:06:02,860
- Hey.
- Hi.
114
00:06:02,881 --> 00:06:05,584
Thank you so much for letting me
practice my sales pitch on you.
115
00:06:05,607 --> 00:06:07,452
- I really appreciate it.
- Sure.
116
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:08,616
Um, I brought coffee.
117
00:06:08,632 --> 00:06:12,686
I wasn't sure what you like, so I got a
regular, a cappuccino and a Chai tea.
118
00:06:12,711 --> 00:06:15,346
Since you like Raj, I thought
you might be into that.
119
00:06:16,901 --> 00:06:19,074
Thanks. If we could get started.
I'm a little busy.
120
00:06:19,088 --> 00:06:21,683
Oh, yeah, sure. Let me
just get out my materials.
121
00:06:21,709 --> 00:06:23,162
Leonard gave me this briefcase.
122
00:06:23,179 --> 00:06:24,913
He used to carry it
around in high school.
123
00:06:24,941 --> 00:06:28,031
You can still see the dent
where they whacked him with it.
124
00:06:30,454 --> 00:06:34,831
Okay, I would like to talk to you about
our new birth control pill, Femevra.
125
00:06:34,857 --> 00:06:35,544
Great.
126
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,177
So, Femevra's
triphasic design
127
00:06:38,203 --> 00:06:40,930
provides balanced
hormonal exposure.
128
00:06:40,955 --> 00:06:42,400
All right.
129
00:06:43,298 --> 00:06:44,692
It has also been
shown to cause
130
00:06:44,723 --> 00:06:48,106
significantly fewer side effects
than other oral contraceptives.
131
00:06:48,129 --> 00:06:50,254
Although it can cause acne,
which, if you ask me,
132
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,413
kind of increases its
effectiveness as a contraceptive.
133
00:06:57,999 --> 00:06:59,435
Funny.
134
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:03,192
Okay, I'm sorry. Did we get off
on the wrong foot?
135
00:07:03,206 --> 00:07:04,973
Because since the other
night, I kind of feel like
136
00:07:04,981 --> 00:07:06,905
you might have a problem
with me.
137
00:07:06,922 --> 00:07:08,465
No, it's fine.
138
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,864
Are you sure,
because it doesn't seem fine?
139
00:07:11,853 --> 00:07:14,871
Okay. If you really want
to talk about this,
140
00:07:14,896 --> 00:07:15,951
I do have a problem.
141
00:07:15,974 --> 00:07:17,983
Oh, my God.
Tell me-- what did I do?
142
00:07:18,013 --> 00:07:20,100
Look, it's nothing. It's just...
143
00:07:20,131 --> 00:07:22,826
Raj told me that a while ago,
you two hooked up.
144
00:07:22,857 --> 00:07:25,916
What?! Oh, why
would he say that?
145
00:07:27,093 --> 00:07:28,023
Did it not happen?
146
00:07:28,038 --> 00:07:31,003
Well, I wouldn't exactly
call it a hook-up.
147
00:07:31,028 --> 00:07:33,919
- Did you kiss?
- Yeah.
148
00:07:33,966 --> 00:07:35,724
Were you naked?
149
00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:36,928
Yeah.
150
00:07:38,017 --> 00:07:40,191
- So, it was a hook-up.
- No.
151
00:07:41,038 --> 00:07:42,627
Yeah.
152
00:07:46,083 --> 00:07:49,161
So, what are some ways we
could set our comic book store
153
00:07:49,185 --> 00:07:50,677
apart from the
competition?
154
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,279
Oh, kids buy comic books.
155
00:07:52,304 --> 00:07:54,687
It would be great to figure out a
way to get more kids in the store.
156
00:07:54,713 --> 00:07:58,190
You know, when I was a kid, I loved going
there, but I could never get a ride.
157
00:07:58,197 --> 00:08:02,164
Ooh, what if we got a van and
drove around and picked kids up?
158
00:08:07,009 --> 00:08:08,840
Nice.
159
00:08:10,128 --> 00:08:13,129
You mean,
like at parks and schools?
160
00:08:13,946 --> 00:08:16,246
Toy stores, puppet shows.
161
00:08:17,675 --> 00:08:21,169
Hold on. So, your idea is
to get a van
162
00:08:21,192 --> 00:08:24,684
and cruise the streets looking
for kids to pick up?
163
00:08:25,698 --> 00:08:27,455
Yes.
164
00:08:29,545 --> 00:08:32,827
And are you gonna use
candy to lure them in?
165
00:08:35,024 --> 00:08:37,159
We are now!
166
00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:40,899
You told Emily
we hooked up?!
167
00:08:40,926 --> 00:08:44,121
Um, well, in my defense,
I tell everybody.
168
00:08:44,137 --> 00:08:45,583
Why would you say that?!
169
00:08:45,603 --> 00:08:47,626
We were having a conversation
about past lovers.
170
00:08:47,649 --> 00:08:50,535
We weren't lovers! Come on. Everyone
knows we didn't sleep together.
171
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:51,788
We got drunk
and fooled around.
172
00:08:51,803 --> 00:08:54,604
- Why couldn't you just leave me out of it?
- Well, we were being honest.
173
00:08:54,622 --> 00:08:56,197
You would leave me
out of the conversation
174
00:08:56,212 --> 00:08:58,256
with the next guy
if you dump Leonard?
175
00:08:58,274 --> 00:09:00,486
- Why say it?
- Yes!
176
00:09:01,272 --> 00:09:04,562
Well, I would never
leave you off my list,
177
00:09:04,579 --> 00:09:05,872
and not just
because, without you,
178
00:09:05,887 --> 00:09:08,358
we're playing fast and loose
with the word “list.”
179
00:09:09,255 --> 00:09:11,107
Well, good job.
Now she hates me.
180
00:09:11,134 --> 00:09:12,268
Oh.
181
00:09:13,632 --> 00:09:14,843
Great.
182
00:09:15,268 --> 00:09:17,979
On the bright side,
that Oxford study was right.
183
00:09:18,001 --> 00:09:19,912
One friend down.
184
00:09:21,923 --> 00:09:24,769
I wonder who you're
going to lose next.
185
00:09:25,462 --> 00:09:28,064
You, okay? It's you.
You're-you're next!
186
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:32,440
No. You're crazy about me.
187
00:09:37,724 --> 00:09:39,674
I don't know what Emily's
so upset about anyway.
188
00:09:39,696 --> 00:09:42,536
Even if I had slept with him,
so what? Everyone has a past.
189
00:09:43,102 --> 00:09:45,651
Almost everyone
has a past.
190
00:09:46,359 --> 00:09:50,281
Come on, look how pretty you are. I'm sure
this isn't the first girl to hate you.
191
00:09:50,316 --> 00:09:51,909
It's not.
192
00:09:53,171 --> 00:09:54,827
And I'm sure
you can turn it around.
193
00:09:54,858 --> 00:09:57,749
How? You can't force
someone to like you.
194
00:09:57,765 --> 00:10:01,374
What if you just hang around and act
like her friend until you wear her down?
195
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:02,704
I mean, next
thing you know,
196
00:10:02,712 --> 00:10:05,958
you're in her home, you're eating
her food, drinking her wine.
197
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:09,560
No, that won't work.
198
00:10:09,584 --> 00:10:11,379
You're right. Cheers.
199
00:10:12,457 --> 00:10:13,629
Oh, I know.
200
00:10:13,636 --> 00:10:15,352
Why don't you use
your sales training
201
00:10:15,359 --> 00:10:17,579
to go back down there
and sell yourself?
202
00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:18,954
- What?
- Yeah.
203
00:10:18,976 --> 00:10:22,219
But instead of selling a drug, you'd
be selling Penny-- it's cute.
204
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,045
It's stupid.
205
00:10:24,064 --> 00:10:27,758
Well, maybe people would like you more
if you didn't crap all over their ideas.
206
00:10:29,043 --> 00:10:30,754
I'm gonna go with
Penny on this one.
207
00:10:30,770 --> 00:10:34,034
Then again, why wouldn't I?
I mean, we go way back.
208
00:10:35,049 --> 00:10:37,244
Oh, my God.
I didn't used to like you.
209
00:10:37,274 --> 00:10:39,767
Shh. Amy's here now.
210
00:10:44,367 --> 00:10:45,945
You know, the more
I think about it,
211
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,777
the more intrigued I am
about having our own store.
212
00:10:49,802 --> 00:10:53,345
We'll get to see all the new stuff
before it hits the shelves.
213
00:10:53,367 --> 00:10:56,320
And we'll get to have fun
interactions with our customers.
214
00:10:56,343 --> 00:10:59,569
“This isn't a library--
buy it or get out.”
215
00:11:00,342 --> 00:11:02,787
You say things like
that all the time.
216
00:11:02,818 --> 00:11:05,740
Yes, but as a store owner, I'll
finally have a good comeback to,
217
00:11:05,770 --> 00:11:07,947
“You don't work here--
shut up.”
218
00:11:08,984 --> 00:11:13,406
- Uh, do you know how Penny told Raj he
should have left her off his list? - Yeah.
219
00:11:13,428 --> 00:11:15,488
Well, do you think when she
and I had that conversation,
220
00:11:15,527 --> 00:11:16,988
she left people off her list?
221
00:11:17,003 --> 00:11:19,091
I'm sure she did.
222
00:11:19,933 --> 00:11:21,386
Why?
223
00:11:21,402 --> 00:11:25,096
Because if she hadn't, she'd still
be wading through the list.
224
00:11:26,437 --> 00:11:28,055
Will you stay out of this?
225
00:11:28,086 --> 00:11:30,744
If only Penny had said
that once in a while.
226
00:11:32,841 --> 00:11:36,130
Hey, what difference does it make?
You're the one she wants to marry.
227
00:11:36,153 --> 00:11:37,502
- That's true.
- Yeah, and I'm not sure
228
00:11:37,526 --> 00:11:42,159
that complete honesty is always the
best thing for a relationship.
229
00:11:42,182 --> 00:11:45,370
Yeah, he's right.
Once, in a moment of candor,
230
00:11:45,386 --> 00:11:48,236
I told Amy that her
hair reminded me
231
00:11:48,251 --> 00:11:51,928
of a duck caught
in an oil spill. Well...
232
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:53,272
she stormed out.
233
00:11:53,308 --> 00:11:56,378
Which was sad, because
we were playing Scrabble,
234
00:11:56,394 --> 00:12:00,015
and I had all the letters
to spell “persimmon.”
235
00:12:03,979 --> 00:12:05,901
Why are you even part
of this conversation?
236
00:12:05,916 --> 00:12:07,956
You don't know
anything about women.
237
00:12:07,974 --> 00:12:10,205
I know that if I had
a wife or a fiancée,
238
00:12:10,221 --> 00:12:14,290
I'd ask her first before I invested
money in a comic book store.
239
00:12:15,723 --> 00:12:18,380
- He's right.
- Yeah, well, of course I am.
240
00:12:18,403 --> 00:12:21,853
I was also right about her hair.
It did everything but quack.
241
00:12:25,333 --> 00:12:27,489
There's something
I wanted to run past you.
242
00:12:27,512 --> 00:12:28,333
What's up?
243
00:12:28,358 --> 00:12:32,421
Mm, the guys and I were thinking about
investing in Stuart's comic book store.
244
00:12:32,444 --> 00:12:35,014
- Is that okay?
- Why are you asking me?
245
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:39,077
Well, you know, we're engaged, and
it's kind of a big deal financially.
246
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,555
It seems like something
we should talk about.
247
00:12:41,588 --> 00:12:42,955
Oh.
248
00:12:42,981 --> 00:12:47,409
Well, would you consider mounds of credit
card debt kind of a big deal financially?
249
00:12:49,673 --> 00:12:51,298
Yeah.
250
00:12:51,762 --> 00:12:53,198
Huh.
251
00:12:55,594 --> 00:12:56,627
Mm.
252
00:12:56,652 --> 00:13:00,347
So, me and the guys were talking about
this great investment opportunity...
253
00:13:00,370 --> 00:13:02,006
Nope.
254
00:13:03,645 --> 00:13:05,309
But you didn't
hear what it was.
255
00:13:05,332 --> 00:13:07,520
I know.
256
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,105
Oh, come on.
257
00:13:11,128 --> 00:13:14,473
- Fine. What is it?
- It's to help reopen the comic book store.
258
00:13:14,491 --> 00:13:15,975
Nope.
259
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:18,306
Well, hear me out.
260
00:13:18,322 --> 00:13:20,079
Howard, you know
we're saving up for a house.
261
00:13:20,094 --> 00:13:22,481
I know, but all the
guys are doing it.
262
00:13:22,496 --> 00:13:25,599
We're splitting it four ways, so
it's really not that much money.
263
00:13:26,444 --> 00:13:28,952
It just seems like a
risky investment.
264
00:13:28,970 --> 00:13:31,189
I get that. I...
265
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:34,839
Okay, look...
266
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:40,405
The reason this is
important is...
267
00:13:42,086 --> 00:13:45,844
...before my dad left
me and my mom...
268
00:13:45,852 --> 00:13:49,583
he used to... take me
to the comic book store.
269
00:13:50,408 --> 00:13:53,910
It was one of the few
things we did together.
270
00:13:54,725 --> 00:13:56,881
Oh. Howie, I had no idea.
271
00:13:56,896 --> 00:14:00,201
Well, I don't...
like to talk about it.
272
00:14:00,227 --> 00:14:01,900
Oh, baby.
273
00:14:03,069 --> 00:14:05,581
That story's made
up, isn't it?
274
00:14:08,132 --> 00:14:11,700
That's how much buying
a comic book store means to me.
275
00:14:14,211 --> 00:14:16,844
I'd like your honest
opinion on something.
276
00:14:16,875 --> 00:14:18,454
Of course.
277
00:14:18,477 --> 00:14:23,251
Now, before I start, I need you to
know that I'm very excited about this,
278
00:14:23,274 --> 00:14:27,618
and anything you say that isn't
enthusiastically supportive
279
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:31,563
will throw our entire
relationship into question.
280
00:14:33,716 --> 00:14:35,614
So...
281
00:14:35,630 --> 00:14:37,429
keep an open mind.
282
00:14:38,475 --> 00:14:41,312
I'm feeling a little backed
into a corner, Sheldon.
283
00:14:41,335 --> 00:14:43,332
Perfect. Now...
284
00:14:44,188 --> 00:14:49,568
...I'm considering investing
in Stuart's comic book store.
285
00:14:50,391 --> 00:14:51,857
Interesting.
286
00:14:54,148 --> 00:14:56,562
Can you see how
a grown man,
287
00:14:56,577 --> 00:14:58,820
an accomplished scientist,
288
00:14:58,845 --> 00:15:02,643
who invests in a store
that sells picture books
289
00:15:02,658 --> 00:15:06,385
about flying men in
colorful underwear...
290
00:15:07,125 --> 00:15:11,657
...might be wasting both his financial
and intellectual resources?
291
00:15:18,314 --> 00:15:20,027
No.
292
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,374
Then I think it's
a terrific idea.
293
00:15:25,396 --> 00:15:26,597
Great.
294
00:15:26,612 --> 00:15:29,180
Wait till you hear
about our van.
295
00:15:35,045 --> 00:15:36,678
- Hey. Thanks for inviting us over.
- Hey.
296
00:15:36,693 --> 00:15:38,147
Oh, thank you for coming.
297
00:15:38,162 --> 00:15:40,553
Uh, listen, Penny,
before you start,
298
00:15:40,568 --> 00:15:43,831
I just want to apologize for being
so rude the other day in my office.
299
00:15:43,838 --> 00:15:47,236
- No, no. No need to apologize.
- Excuse me, can I say something?
300
00:15:47,258 --> 00:15:50,997
I just love both you guys,
and I want you to get along.
301
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,910
And when I say “love”"
I meant as a friend.
302
00:15:55,363 --> 00:15:57,915
And, uh, way
too soon, right?
303
00:15:59,006 --> 00:16:00,800
Okay, sit down.
Listen, Emily,
304
00:16:00,808 --> 00:16:03,457
what happened between me and
Raj was a long time ago.
305
00:16:03,482 --> 00:16:06,177
It was, and I may have made it seem
like a bigger deal than I should have.
306
00:16:06,184 --> 00:16:08,107
Yeah, and Leonard and I
are engaged now,
307
00:16:08,114 --> 00:16:10,669
and I'm just hoping we can put
this whole thing behind us.
308
00:16:10,693 --> 00:16:12,784
Mm. I'd like that, too.
309
00:16:12,801 --> 00:16:16,567
Yeah, I thought I'd be okay with it,
but then I saw how pretty you are.
310
00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:20,547
Oh, that's so sweet. I mean,
look at you-- you are gorgeous.
311
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:22,968
It's true--
you're both gorgeous.
312
00:16:24,309 --> 00:16:26,356
Kind of says something about
the man who could bed you both.
313
00:16:34,513 --> 00:16:37,627
You get why I've been alone
most of my adult life.
314
00:16:40,154 --> 00:16:42,193
So, what brings you by?
315
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:45,893
Well, I don't need a
reason-- it's my house.
316
00:16:45,908 --> 00:16:47,784
Technically,
it's your mom's house, but...
317
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:51,339
we certainly want you
to feel welcome.
318
00:16:51,365 --> 00:16:53,678
I'm always welcome.
319
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:56,342
Mm, just... try and call first.
320
00:16:57,114 --> 00:16:59,474
Okay, let's get
down to business.
321
00:17:00,635 --> 00:17:02,435
Howie was thinking about
putting up some money
322
00:17:02,458 --> 00:17:05,204
to help you reopen the store,
but before that happens,
323
00:17:05,230 --> 00:17:07,208
- I have a few questions.
- Oh.
324
00:17:07,223 --> 00:17:12,052
I appreciate the offer, but actually
your mother already gave me the money.
325
00:17:13,777 --> 00:17:15,364
What?
326
00:17:16,228 --> 00:17:18,066
Yeah. I told her
it was too much,
327
00:17:18,090 --> 00:17:20,754
but she said she was happy
to help out her bubala.
328
00:17:23,004 --> 00:17:24,658
Excuse me.
329
00:17:25,405 --> 00:17:27,905
Ma, you are canceling
that check,
330
00:17:27,929 --> 00:17:30,500
and Stuart is not your bubala;
I'm your bubala.
331
00:17:30,523 --> 00:17:33,114
You can't have more
than one bubala!
332
00:17:34,296 --> 00:17:38,029
I don't know who he's talking to.
She's at Target, buying me shirts.
333
00:17:41,246 --> 00:17:43,622
I'm so glad we
could work this all out.
334
00:17:43,645 --> 00:17:45,458
Yeah, me, too.
335
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:47,457
You know, we should have dinner
one night with you and Leonard.
336
00:17:47,472 --> 00:17:49,277
- Oh, we would love that.
- Great!
337
00:17:50,691 --> 00:17:52,667
- Okay, good night, guys.
- All right, night.
338
00:17:52,691 --> 00:17:54,066
Bye.
339
00:17:55,049 --> 00:17:57,189
- I hate her.
- I hate her.
340
00:18:03,047 --> 00:18:05,881
I'm really disappointed we're not
gonna have our own comic book store.
341
00:18:05,906 --> 00:18:07,609
I know. I was looking
forward to it.
342
00:18:07,634 --> 00:18:10,447
It would've been so nice to
have a place that was ours,
343
00:18:10,469 --> 00:18:13,462
where we could just sit
and read comics in peace.
344
00:18:13,483 --> 00:18:16,116
- With comfy seats.
- And snacks.
345
00:18:16,147 --> 00:18:18,428
Well, I guess it was
too good to be true.
346
00:18:18,452 --> 00:18:19,985
Yeah.
