1
00:00:02,819 --> 00:00:05,410
Hey, I read that
someone invented a way
2
00:00:05,426 --> 00:00:07,840
to convert your footsteps
into electromagnetic energy
3
00:00:07,855 --> 00:00:10,028
so you can charge
your cell phone while walking.
4
00:00:10,045 --> 00:00:11,818
We had that
idea years ago.
5
00:00:11,834 --> 00:00:13,201
How come we never
did anything with it?
6
00:00:13,216 --> 00:00:15,628
Probably because we left the
diagram of it in the restaurant,
7
00:00:15,653 --> 00:00:17,938
and none of us
wanted to walk back.
8
00:00:19,861 --> 00:00:22,908
I know the real reason you never
made progress with that idea.
9
00:00:22,927 --> 00:00:26,246
You thought of it
September 22, 2007.
10
00:00:26,261 --> 00:00:28,555
Two days later, Penny moved in,
11
00:00:28,563 --> 00:00:33,274
and so much blood rushed to your genitals,
your brain became a ghost town.
12
00:00:34,957 --> 00:00:36,435
That's not what happened.
13
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:40,732
I remember it distinctly because I
had just composed my annual poem
14
00:00:40,755 --> 00:00:43,371
commemorating the anniversary
of Dr. Seuss's death.
15
00:00:43,386 --> 00:00:44,368
No one wants to hear it.
16
00:00:44,393 --> 00:00:46,148
Why, die.
17
00:00:46,163 --> 00:00:47,532
Why did he die?
18
00:00:47,557 --> 00:00:50,634
Old, told.
I was told he was old.
19
00:00:51,779 --> 00:00:54,351
Penny is not the reason
I didn't pursue that idea.
20
00:00:54,366 --> 00:00:58,995
Oh, really? Since meeting her, what have
been your greatest accomplishments?
21
00:00:59,020 --> 00:00:59,848
KOOTHRAPPALI:
Easy.
22
00:00:59,866 --> 00:01:01,616
Sleeping with Penny.
23
00:01:01,639 --> 00:01:04,503
Getting Penny to go back out
with him after she dumped him.
24
00:01:04,518 --> 00:01:06,344
Tricking Penny
into getting engaged.
25
00:01:06,368 --> 00:01:09,848
And a few weeks ago,
he almost did a pull-up.
26
00:01:12,025 --> 00:01:14,520
I think someone
owes me an apology.
27
00:01:15,524 --> 00:01:16,868
Well, don't feel bad.
28
00:01:16,891 --> 00:01:20,594
I think we've all been distracted
since the girls entered our lives.
29
00:01:20,612 --> 00:01:22,164
You admit Amy's
a distraction?
30
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:24,766
Oh, very much so.
Listen to this.
31
00:01:24,781 --> 00:01:26,977
This is from two days ago.
32
00:01:27,002 --> 00:01:29,846
“Hi. Hope you're
having a good day.”
33
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:32,321
Who has time
for this constant sexting?
34
00:01:34,077 --> 00:01:36,172
Well, maybe we have
lost our focus.
35
00:01:36,194 --> 00:01:39,857
It wouldn't kill us to get
together and brainstorm ideas.
36
00:01:39,882 --> 00:01:42,258
Ooh, we could have one
of those retreats.
37
00:01:42,273 --> 00:01:43,961
Like our own science retreat.
38
00:01:43,968 --> 00:01:46,131
My cousin has a cabin
out in the woods.
39
00:01:46,146 --> 00:01:48,539
I'm not going to a
cabin in the woods.
40
00:01:48,564 --> 00:01:51,668
Did you see the movie
Cabin in the Woods?
41
00:01:51,683 --> 00:01:53,270
Then we'll go to a hotel.
42
00:01:53,293 --> 00:01:55,993
A hotel?
Did you see The Shining?
43
00:01:57,779 --> 00:01:59,996
KOOTHRAPPALI: We could go up to Big
Bear and get a house on the lake.
44
00:02:00,012 --> 00:02:02,975
Did you see
The Lake House?
45
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:05,154
Nothing bad happens
in The Lake House.
46
00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:08,475
Yeah, well, no,
not to them. To me.
47
00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:10,147
Time traveling mailbox.
48
00:02:10,162 --> 00:02:13,215
The only time that traveled was an hour
and half of my life down the toilet.
49
00:02:14,003 --> 00:02:15,581
Fine. Then we'll just
stay here and do it.
50
00:02:15,596 --> 00:02:17,413
Well, you didn't suggest
a beach house.
51
00:02:17,438 --> 00:02:18,560
You would go to a beach house?
52
00:02:18,576 --> 00:02:21,434
Well, good Lord, no--

63
00:02:48,019 --> 00:02:48,904
- Hey.
- Hey.
64
00:02:48,927 --> 00:02:52,467
So, the guys and I are talking about having
kind of a science retreat this weekend.
65
00:02:52,489 --> 00:02:54,412
I just wanted to
know if that's okay.
66
00:02:54,437 --> 00:02:56,203
You and I had talked about
going to brunch on Sunday...
67
00:02:56,218 --> 00:02:59,187
- Want to go to Vegas this weekend?
- Of course I do.
68
00:02:59,202 --> 00:03:00,875
Bernadette? Girl's weekend.
Vegas. You in?
69
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:02,830
- Hell, yeah!
- Yes!
70
00:03:02,853 --> 00:03:04,595
- I'll check flights.
- I'll check hotels.
71
00:03:04,610 --> 00:03:07,512
I'll check my underpants.
I'm so excited, I think I peed.
72
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,710
They seem okay with it.
73
00:03:23,184 --> 00:03:24,114
- Hey.
- Hey.
74
00:03:24,129 --> 00:03:25,667
Hey. I didn't think
you'd make it.
75
00:03:25,692 --> 00:03:28,148
- Why not? - Well, 'cause you
have a steady girlfriend now,
76
00:03:28,171 --> 00:03:31,845
and we assumed you'd have to stay home to
lower the food down to her in the pit.
77
00:03:31,870 --> 00:03:33,930
(laughs)
78
00:03:36,392 --> 00:03:39,690
For your information,
Emily is working tonight.
79
00:03:39,707 --> 00:03:42,214
Yeah, one would assume,
on getting out of the pit.
80
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:45,782
Okay, let's focus.
81
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:47,296
The girls are gone,
we have 48 hours.
82
00:03:47,304 --> 00:03:49,929
There are no distractions.
Let's change the world.
83
00:03:49,951 --> 00:03:52,029
Thinking caps on.
Here we go.
84
00:03:52,052 --> 00:03:54,350
Ooh, this is exciting.
We're innovating.
85
00:03:54,365 --> 00:03:56,022
I feel like
we're in the Facebook movie.
86
00:03:56,037 --> 00:03:57,663
Oh. I never saw that.
87
00:03:57,683 --> 00:03:59,340
- Yeah. Really?
- KOOTHRAPPALI: Oh.
88
00:03:59,363 --> 00:04:03,770
It's wonderful, and I swear I'm not saying
that because Justin Timberlake is in it.
89
00:04:05,018 --> 00:04:06,878
Yeah, I have it on Blu-ray.
90
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:10,594
- We should watch it.
- Cool. I'll make the popcorn.
91
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,998
Guys... in 30
seconds, we went from
92
00:04:14,021 --> 00:04:16,412
“Let's change the world”
to “Let's watch TV.”
93
00:04:17,769 --> 00:04:19,761
I'm sorry. Is that a “no”?
94
00:04:20,662 --> 00:04:22,573
WOLOWITZ: Okay. No. Leonard's right.
We're here to focus.
95
00:04:22,595 --> 00:04:24,409
Didn't we used to have
a list of all our ideas?
96
00:04:24,416 --> 00:04:26,300
I-I think I still have it.
97
00:04:26,318 --> 00:04:29,814
I did not get a clear answer.
I'm gonna set this down now.
98
00:04:30,831 --> 00:04:32,548
Ah, here it is.
99
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,226
(laughs)
Whoa.
100
00:04:34,251 --> 00:04:36,497
I haven't looked
at these in years.
101
00:04:36,513 --> 00:04:37,810
“Robot girlfriend.”
102
00:04:37,818 --> 00:04:39,710
Mm, that was mine.
103
00:04:41,101 --> 00:04:43,309
“Robot prostitute.”
104
00:04:44,049 --> 00:04:45,782
Also mine.
105
00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:47,209
SHELDON:
Wait. I'm confused.
106
00:04:47,224 --> 00:04:50,537
Why would you need both a robot
girlfriend and a robot prostitute?
107
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,974
There's just some things you don't
do with your robot girlfriend.
108
00:04:56,623 --> 00:05:00,386
Boy, when you met Bernadette, the
field of robotics really took a hit.
109
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:05,103
Okay, let's just skip all the
inventions you can have sex with.
110
00:05:12,246 --> 00:05:13,450
All right, no-- here we go:
111
00:05:13,475 --> 00:05:17,206
- “Ergonomic heated seat cushion.”
- No, it vibrates. Keep going.
112
00:05:20,818 --> 00:05:22,943
You know, let's just come up
with something new.
113
00:05:22,966 --> 00:05:24,667
SHELDON: You know, a
number of significant
114
00:05:24,692 --> 00:05:27,068
innovations have been
inspired by science fiction.
115
00:05:27,083 --> 00:05:30,497
The-the geosynchronous satellite
from Arthur C. Clarke.
116
00:05:30,517 --> 00:05:33,081
The Motorola flip phone--
that came from Star Trek.
117
00:05:33,104 --> 00:05:35,516
Yeah, and I've long
suspected that the idea
118
00:05:35,532 --> 00:05:40,101
of an African-American president was
stolen from the movie Deep Impact.
119
00:05:42,441 --> 00:05:43,293
KOOTHRAPPALI:
Hey,
120
00:05:43,308 --> 00:05:47,613
the future they show in Back to the
Future II is only a year away.
121
00:05:47,636 --> 00:05:49,730
A lot of the things in that
movie haven't been invented yet.
122
00:05:49,746 --> 00:05:52,418
How cool would that be if we could
make one of those a reality?
123
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,018
If we could figure out the scientific
basis for Marty's hover board,
124
00:05:56,025 --> 00:05:57,755
that would have
universal application.
125
00:05:57,779 --> 00:06:00,185
Well, it's-it's possible
at absolute zero,
126
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:03,123
but we would have to remove
the temperature restrictions.
127
00:06:03,138 --> 00:06:05,810
- Oh, I have an idea.
- I think I have the same one.
128
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:08,372
We got to watch
Back to the Future II!
129
00:06:10,052 --> 00:06:12,507
I'll make the popcorn.
130
00:06:14,515 --> 00:06:16,737
So, where should
we go first?
131
00:06:16,762 --> 00:06:18,793
Ooh. There's a cover
band in the lounge.
132
00:06:18,808 --> 00:06:21,036
- Nah.
- But they play Barry Manilow.
133
00:06:21,058 --> 00:06:24,696
- No.
- But they're called “Fairly Manilow”"
134
00:06:26,167 --> 00:06:27,097
Oh. Okay.
135
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,397
- Great!
- No!
136
00:06:30,074 --> 00:06:32,793
- Well, what do you want to do?
- Well, we're in Vegas.
137
00:06:32,808 --> 00:06:35,402
I want to go downstairs,
get a bucket of margaritas,
138
00:06:35,418 --> 00:06:39,480
dance until I vomit all over a roulette
wheel and watch it go everywhere.
139
00:06:40,492 --> 00:06:41,991
What if we don't
want to vomit?
140
00:06:42,008 --> 00:06:44,762
Oh, you will. That's why
they give you the bucket.
141
00:06:46,018 --> 00:06:47,776
- Uh-oh.
- What?
142
00:06:47,795 --> 00:06:49,226
It's my boss.
143
00:06:49,251 --> 00:06:51,452
They moved my field ride
up to Monday.
144
00:06:51,468 --> 00:06:52,585
What does that mean?
145
00:06:52,593 --> 00:06:55,775
It means instead of having a week
to study, I only have two days.
146
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,956
That sucks.
147
00:06:56,975 --> 00:06:58,726
Can you start
in the morning?
148
00:06:58,751 --> 00:07:00,483
Uh, it's kind of a lot.
149
00:07:00,508 --> 00:07:02,969
You know, let me do a little tonight,
and I'll catch up with you guys later.
150
00:07:02,992 --> 00:07:05,500
- You sure?
- Yeah, it's okay. Go ahead.
151
00:07:07,332 --> 00:07:09,200
So, um, now that
Penny's not coming...
152
00:07:09,214 --> 00:07:11,675
- We're not seeing Fairly Manilow.
- Okay.
153
00:07:14,109 --> 00:07:16,376
(dramatic movie music
plays on TV)
154
00:07:18,797 --> 00:07:20,525
Hold on. Pause.
155
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:23,168
Something doesn't make sense.
Look...
156
00:07:24,256 --> 00:07:27,795
In 2015, Biff steals
the sports almanac
157
00:07:27,818 --> 00:07:32,983
and takes the time machine back to
1955, to give it to his younger self.
158
00:07:32,998 --> 00:07:36,022
But as soon as he does that,
he changes the future,
159
00:07:36,037 --> 00:07:40,433
so the 2015 he returns to
would be a different 2015,
160
00:07:40,455 --> 00:07:42,980
not the 2015 that Marty
and Doc were in.
161
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:46,001
This is Hot Tub Time Machine
all over again.
162
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:53,020
If future Biff goes back to 2015 right
after he gives young Biff the almanac,
163
00:07:53,041 --> 00:07:56,086
he could get back to the 2015
with Marty and Doc in it.
164
00:07:56,108 --> 00:08:01,953
Because it wasn't until his 21st birthday
that 1955 Biff placed his first bet.
165
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,399
SHELDON: Wait. Whoa, whoa.
Is “placed” right?
166
00:08:04,422 --> 00:08:07,328
- What do you mean?
- Is “placed” the right tense
167
00:08:07,343 --> 00:08:09,481
for something that would have
happened in the future
168
00:08:09,496 --> 00:08:13,000
of a past that was affected
by something from the future?
169
00:08:14,289 --> 00:08:16,454
Had will have placed?
170
00:08:17,119 --> 00:08:18,992
That's my boy.
171
00:08:20,901 --> 00:08:23,932
Okay, so, it wasn't until
his 21st birthday
172
00:08:23,939 --> 00:08:27,526
that Biff had will have placed his
first bet and made his millions.
173
00:08:27,533 --> 00:08:29,471
That's when
he altered the timeline.
174
00:08:29,493 --> 00:08:32,279
Yeah, but he had will
haven't placed it!
175
00:08:35,232 --> 00:08:37,216
What?!
176
00:08:37,238 --> 00:08:40,865
Unlike Hot Tub Time Machine,
this couldn't be more simple.
177
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,430
When Biff gets the
almanac in 1955,
178
00:08:43,453 --> 00:08:46,066
the alternate future
he creates isn't the one
179
00:08:46,081 --> 00:08:50,077
in which Marty and Doc Brown ever use
the time machine to travel to 2015.
180
00:08:50,102 --> 00:08:52,095
Therefore, in the
new timeline,
181
00:08:52,116 --> 00:08:54,116
Marty and Doc never brought
the time machine...
182
00:08:54,141 --> 00:08:55,321
W-Wait.
183
00:08:55,343 --> 00:08:57,127
Is “brought” right?
184
00:09:01,229 --> 00:09:05,177
Marty and Doc never
had have had brought?
185
00:09:06,668 --> 00:09:08,742
I don't know.
You did it to me.
186
00:09:10,071 --> 00:09:11,407
Oh, I'm going with it.
187
00:09:11,422 --> 00:09:15,818
Marty and Doc never had have had
brought the time machine to 2015.
188
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,840
That means 2015 Biff could also not had
have had brought the almanac to 1955 Biff.
189
00:09:22,855 --> 00:09:27,346
Therefore, the timeline in which
1955 Biff gets the almanac
190
00:09:27,371 --> 00:09:31,707
is also the timeline in which
1955 Biff never gets the almanac.
191
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:33,278
And not just “never gets.”
192
00:09:33,294 --> 00:09:37,005
Never have, never hasn't,
never had have hasn't.
193
00:09:42,883 --> 00:09:44,238
He's right.
194
00:09:45,855 --> 00:09:47,998
Also, what kind of name is Biff?
195
00:09:48,601 --> 00:09:51,706
Sounds like when you pop open
a can of Pillsbury dough.
196
00:09:52,225 --> 00:09:53,906
Biff.
197
00:09:55,125 --> 00:09:58,219
Oh, that stuff is so good wrapped
around cocktail weenies.
198
00:09:58,244 --> 00:10:00,349
- Guys...
- Do you know that the word “wiener”
199
00:10:00,364 --> 00:10:03,862
comes from the German name of the
Austrian capital Vienna, or “Wien”?
200
00:10:03,885 --> 00:10:07,083
Do you know if you look at Austria on a
map it actually looks like a wiener?
201
00:10:08,052 --> 00:10:12,279
Guys, what are we doing? W-We sent
the girls away so we could focus.
202
00:10:12,936 --> 00:10:15,029
I don't think it worked.
203
00:10:19,826 --> 00:10:22,043
(lively dance music playing)
204
00:10:26,127 --> 00:10:29,242
Maybe after this, you'll be
in the mood for some Manilow.
205
00:10:30,324 --> 00:10:32,600
I think after this,
I'll be dead.
206
00:10:33,825 --> 00:10:37,317
Look at us out, while Penny's
in the room studying.
207
00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:39,542
I'm proud of her.
This is a great opportunity.
208
00:10:39,557 --> 00:10:41,307
It's nice to see her take it
seriously.
209
00:10:41,322 --> 00:10:42,296
It is.
210
00:10:42,321 --> 00:10:44,751
But enough about Penny.
Let's talk about us.
211
00:10:45,875 --> 00:10:47,504
We're looking good.
212
00:10:48,561 --> 00:10:50,232
We are... (giggles)
213
00:10:50,257 --> 00:10:54,076
Better than good. I mean, look at you.
Your body's bangin'!
214
00:10:55,195 --> 00:10:57,051
- Amy!
- Don't “Amy” me.
215
00:10:57,066 --> 00:10:58,972
We're always talking
about how hot Penny is.
216
00:10:58,988 --> 00:11:04,452
Come on-- scientist to scientist,
how big are those Hadron Colliders?
217
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:09,761
- You're embarrassing me.
- Oh, don't be embarrassed.
218
00:11:09,783 --> 00:11:12,724
I'll show you the
divot in my spine.
219
00:11:12,739 --> 00:11:14,270
- What?
- No, no, it's okay.
220
00:11:14,295 --> 00:11:18,952
I was born with it. If you put a double-A
battery in there, it makes my leg kick.
221
00:11:22,393 --> 00:11:23,387
All right.
222
00:11:23,412 --> 00:11:27,428
Oh, this is already better. There
are far fewer distractions in here.
223
00:11:27,451 --> 00:11:30,115
Plus, this is where our minds are
conditioned to focus on work.
224
00:11:30,138 --> 00:11:32,084
So, I've been thinking
about the hover boards,
225
00:11:32,107 --> 00:11:34,810
and maybe there's a way we
could use Maglev technology.
226
00:11:34,834 --> 00:11:37,625
Or if we could figure out a
way to supercool the materials,
227
00:11:37,647 --> 00:11:39,211
we could utilize
quantum coupling.
228
00:11:39,235 --> 00:11:41,218
Well, I wonder
if anyone's tried that.
229
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:43,264
Go online and look it up.
230
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,780
Oh, I can't argue with him.
It's right there on the screen.
231
00:11:45,796 --> 00:11:48,923
Austria does look
like a wiener.
232
00:11:50,616 --> 00:11:53,604
That's nothing, dude. Go check
out how hung Florida is.
233
00:11:53,629 --> 00:11:55,729
(laughing)
234
00:11:56,222 --> 00:11:59,301
I'm sure Mrs. Florida's walking funny.
Can we get back to work?
235
00:12:00,478 --> 00:12:02,566
Yeah... he's right.
236
00:12:02,591 --> 00:12:04,614
Oh, here's a thought.
237
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,030
What if we use some form of
operant conditioning techniques
238
00:12:08,053 --> 00:12:09,842
to keep us from
getting off topic?
239
00:12:09,865 --> 00:12:11,577
Like behavior modification?
240
00:12:11,598 --> 00:12:13,126
Yeah, exactly.
241
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:18,234
Did you know those techniques were used to
actually teach pigeons to play ping-pong?
242
00:12:18,259 --> 00:12:19,855
That cannot be true.
243
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,080
(ping-pong ball bouncing)
244
00:12:29,551 --> 00:12:32,323
Hey, it was match point.
245
00:12:34,272 --> 00:12:37,407
Some psychologists perform operant
conditioning with punishment.
246
00:12:37,429 --> 00:12:41,352
Maybe we can come up with a
punishment for straying off topic.
247
00:12:41,373 --> 00:12:45,007
Not getting to see who wins at
pigeon ping-pong comes to mind.
248
00:12:45,892 --> 00:12:49,766
We could snap a rubber band on our
wrists every time we get sidetracked.
249
00:12:49,791 --> 00:12:52,995
Mmm, not bad.
You know, in medieval times,
250
00:12:53,018 --> 00:12:56,909
idle chatter was punished with a
device called the scold's bridle.
251
00:12:56,930 --> 00:13:01,955
It's an iron cage that's locked around
the head and pierces the tongue.
252
00:13:02,665 --> 00:13:04,927
If only we had one.
253
00:13:06,904 --> 00:13:09,104
Oh! I'll check Amazon.
254
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,716
(knocking on door)
255
00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:16,769
BERNADETTE:
Housekeeping!
256
00:13:19,451 --> 00:13:23,933
AMY: We had a complaint about
somebody pooping on a party in there!
257
00:13:26,525 --> 00:13:28,922
It was us the whole time!
258
00:13:29,788 --> 00:13:32,008
Why'd you tell her?
It was working.
259
00:13:32,025 --> 00:13:33,884
Was it working?
260
00:13:33,907 --> 00:13:35,634
Yeah.
261
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:38,098
Oh, I'm so sorry.
262
00:13:39,196 --> 00:13:40,969
You guys look
like you're having fun.
263
00:13:40,985 --> 00:13:43,360
We're having
the best time.
264
00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:47,185
Guess who won $100
playing craps.
265
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,512
That's a dollar.
266
00:13:49,534 --> 00:13:52,234
Then guess who wildly
overtipped a cocktail waitress.
267
00:13:53,105 --> 00:13:54,918
Hey, Penny... hey, let's go.
268
00:13:54,941 --> 00:13:58,627
We found a place that has
Australian male strippers.
269
00:13:58,652 --> 00:14:02,101
We want to see if they twirl their
junk in the other direction.
270
00:14:12,573 --> 00:14:14,110
That sounds so great.
271
00:14:14,135 --> 00:14:16,210
But I have a little
more studying to do.
272
00:14:16,221 --> 00:14:19,199
(sighs) Can you
believe this nerd?
273
00:14:21,096 --> 00:14:23,120
Come on, do you want to
sit here being a loser,
274
00:14:23,135 --> 00:14:24,558
or do you want to watch
me climb into an
275
00:14:24,574 --> 00:14:27,828
Australian man's G-string
like a baby kangaroo?
276
00:14:34,008 --> 00:14:36,522
All right, guys, look,
I would love to go out,
277
00:14:36,529 --> 00:14:38,073
but I've got
to get this done, okay?
278
00:14:38,081 --> 00:14:41,911
So have fun at the club. And if you
get in trouble, find a policeman.
279
00:14:41,936 --> 00:14:45,071
And if he's taking off his pants,
he is not a real policeman.
280
00:14:45,929 --> 00:14:49,430
Okay, okay, this is obviously
very important to her.
281
00:14:49,452 --> 00:14:52,744
Let's just, we'll help her study
so she can get done quicker.
282
00:14:52,769 --> 00:14:54,433
Here...
here, I'm gonna quiz you.
283
00:14:54,457 --> 00:14:56,428
I'm gonna quiz you.
284
00:14:57,462 --> 00:15:00,676
I got your notes!
I got your notes!
285
00:15:00,692 --> 00:15:05,131
I got your notes! If you want these,
they're gonna be at the strip club!
286
00:15:07,461 --> 00:15:11,122
- Aren't you gonna chase her?
- To the walk-in closet? Sure.
287
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:20,205
Okay, so we agree,
288
00:15:20,228 --> 00:15:24,094
whenever someone takes us off topic
they get their arm hair yanked off.
289
00:15:24,786 --> 00:15:26,373
And I really can't let that
happen or the girl who
290
00:15:26,395 --> 00:15:29,111
does my eyebrows will think
I've been cheating on her.
291
00:15:30,512 --> 00:15:33,426
All right, now, one benefit
of quantum coupling...
292
00:15:33,449 --> 00:15:34,637
Wait, no, question:
293
00:15:34,659 --> 00:15:37,075
Who decides if someone's
gone off topic?
294
00:15:37,082 --> 00:15:39,810
I think it'll be pretty clear.
If not, we'll take a vote.
295
00:15:39,835 --> 00:15:42,681
- Oh, and also...
- Ow!
296
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,844
W-We didn't vote!
297
00:15:45,859 --> 00:15:48,110
We didn't have to--
that was clearly a tangent.
298
00:15:48,133 --> 00:15:49,750
Now come on.
Back to work.
299
00:15:49,775 --> 00:15:51,538
If we're leaning towards
quantum coupling...
300
00:15:51,561 --> 00:15:53,328
Aah! Why?
301
00:15:54,005 --> 00:15:55,607
You said
“quantum coupling.”
302
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:57,657
That made me think
of the show Quantum Leap.
303
00:15:57,671 --> 00:16:00,282
That's a tangent
and it's your fault.
304
00:16:00,289 --> 00:16:02,922
That's ridiculous. Sheldon, I
vote that is not a tangent.
305
00:16:02,945 --> 00:16:05,029
Thank you. And now
I owe you one.
306
00:16:05,054 --> 00:16:06,610
Ow!
307
00:16:07,426 --> 00:16:09,239
- That was your fault.
- Hey!
308
00:16:09,261 --> 00:16:12,255
Ooh, that is a lot of hair.
309
00:16:13,096 --> 00:16:14,646
Ow!
310
00:16:15,376 --> 00:16:17,453
And now I'm gonna hear it
from Jenny.
311
00:16:18,179 --> 00:16:19,921
(stammers)
Everyone stop.
312
00:16:19,945 --> 00:16:23,773
This was a stupid idea. Negative
reinforcement isn't working.
313
00:16:23,795 --> 00:16:25,538
I think you mean
positive punishment.
314
00:16:25,561 --> 00:16:28,859
Negative reinforcement is the
removal of a positive stimulus.
315
00:16:28,881 --> 00:16:30,312
It's a common mistake.
316
00:16:30,335 --> 00:16:32,538
Negative reinforcement
is really wrong?
317
00:16:32,561 --> 00:16:34,476
Oh, it's used incorrectly
all the time.
318
00:16:34,496 --> 00:16:38,176
Even Bill Murray makes that mistake
in the first scene of Ghostbusters.
319
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,090
No way. Not Bill Murray.
320
00:16:42,024 --> 00:16:46,580
I'm studying the effect of negative
reinforcement on ESP ability.
321
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:47,316
Huh.
322
00:16:47,331 --> 00:16:49,387
Bill Murray did get it wrong.
323
00:16:50,656 --> 00:16:52,219
Jump ahead to the Stay Puft
Marshmallow Man.
324
00:16:52,233 --> 00:16:54,199
No!
(Sheldon stammers)
325
00:16:55,034 --> 00:16:56,222
Leonard's right.
326
00:16:56,245 --> 00:16:58,972
We can't just jump ahead. We
have to watch the whole movie.
327
00:16:58,997 --> 00:17:00,770
Look.
328
00:17:00,793 --> 00:17:04,077
We keep procrastinating.
We saw Back to the Future II,
329
00:17:04,092 --> 00:17:07,035
pigeons playing ping-pong, a bunch
of countries that look like genitals
330
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:09,943
and one guy whose genitals
look like Denmark!
331
00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:13,685
Yeah, sorry for
clicking on that.
332
00:17:15,608 --> 00:17:17,757
It's late.
We've wasted hours.
333
00:17:17,773 --> 00:17:21,281
Can we please find it in ourselves
to do any amount of work tonight?
334
00:17:21,306 --> 00:17:24,520
But we didn't see
them bust one ghost.
335
00:17:26,434 --> 00:17:28,817
So y-you're saying
we should stand here
336
00:17:28,838 --> 00:17:33,916
in my lab on a Saturday night and watch the
rest of Ghostbusters on a crappy laptop?
337
00:17:33,926 --> 00:17:34,840
No.
338
00:17:34,979 --> 00:17:38,597
♪ ♪
339
00:17:41,215 --> 00:17:43,498
Ghostbusters!
340
00:17:45,545 --> 00:17:47,912
It really does hold up.
341
00:17:49,843 --> 00:17:52,093
(dance music blaring,
women whooping and cheering)
342
00:17:57,222 --> 00:17:59,984
See? Isn't this better
than a hotel room?
343
00:18:00,009 --> 00:18:02,210
Yep. Shake that thing!
344
00:18:03,715 --> 00:18:07,202
Have you ever seen
a body so fine?
345
00:18:07,227 --> 00:18:09,856
We had some pretty hot corpses
in my anatomy class,
346
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:12,539
but none of them
moved like that!
347
00:18:23,895 --> 00:18:25,948
PENNY:
Good morning.
348
00:18:25,973 --> 00:18:27,364
You want to go
to the pool?
349
00:18:27,381 --> 00:18:29,748
(both groaning)
350
00:18:30,367 --> 00:18:33,008
Come on...
you said it yourself.
351
00:18:33,027 --> 00:18:36,050
Only nerds and losers
stay in the room.
352
00:18:36,073 --> 00:18:38,474
- Oh! Oh!
- Oh!
353
00:18:39,031 --> 00:18:41,874
Wow, it's bright out.
Isn't it bright?
354
00:18:41,899 --> 00:18:43,570
I should probably
close these curtains.
355
00:18:43,591 --> 00:18:45,342
Nah. Bye!
356
00:18:47,021 --> 00:18:48,888
Would you please
close the drapes?
357
00:18:48,913 --> 00:18:50,443
Okay.
358
00:18:53,184 --> 00:18:59,684
