1. Awkward silence.
Copy !req
2. Sheldon on his phone.
Copy !req
3. No touching.
Copy !req
4. Somebody's having date night.
Copy !req
5. It's actually steamier
than it looks.
Copy !req
6. Sheldon's looking up the phallic
symbolism of root vegetables
Copy !req
7. In renaissance paintings.
Copy !req
8. Oh, no, I got bored
with that.
Copy !req
9. I'm just browsing
cuticle scissors on amazon.
Copy !req
10. How do you
not tear off his clothes
Copy !req
11. And take him right here
on this table?
Copy !req
12. If you do that, I'll scream.
Copy !req
13. Sheldon, I have some
exciting news to tell you.
Copy !req
14. That makes two of us.
Copy !req
15. My new cuticle scissors
will be here
Copy !req
16. In one to two business days.
Copy !req
17. Come on, one.
Copy !req
18. I've been invited to
consult on an experiment
Copy !req
19. At your university
for a few months.
Copy !req
20. Isn't that great?
Copy !req
21. We could have lunch together.
Copy !req
22. We could carpool.
Copy !req
23. You know, riding with leonard
Copy !req
24. Has gotten
a little tedious lately.
Copy !req
25. Th-the only car game he ever
wants to play is the quiet game.
Copy !req
26. And he's terrible at it.
Copy !req
27. I always win.
Copy !req
28. So, you're okay with this?
Copy !req
29. Well, why wouldn't I be?
Copy !req
30. Well, this project
would have us working
Copy !req
31. In close proximity
to one another.
Copy !req
32. And there's the vulgar adage
Copy !req
33. That one should not
defecate where one eats.
Copy !req
34. My father used to say
that all the time.
Copy !req
35. That and, um, "who does one
have to orally gratify
Copy !req
36. To get a drink around here?"
Copy !req
37. But what does that have to do
Copy !req
38. With you working
at the university?
Copy !req
39. Sheldon, "don't defecate
where you eat,"
Copy !req
40. Means don't have a
romantic relationship
Copy !req
41. In the workplace.
Copy !req
42. Really?
Copy !req
43. Yes.
Copy !req
44. Huh.
Copy !req
45. Yeah, I always
took it literally.
Copy !req
46. That's why I have never
once moved my bowels
Copy !req
47. In this or any restaurant.
Copy !req
48. Hmm.
Copy !req
49. I'm relieved that you
don't have a problem
Copy !req
50. With us working together.
Copy !req
51. Not as relieved
as I'm about to be.
Copy !req
52. It's a brave new world,
little lady.
Copy !req
53. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
54. You don't want
Copy !req
55. Your girlfriend
at work with you.
Copy !req
56. Hell clam.
Copy !req
57. Why not?
Copy !req
58. Hairy fairy.
Copy !req
59. I think it could be romantic.
Copy !req
60. You know, my parents met
at his place of work.
Copy !req
61. Your father's a gynecologist.
Copy !req
62. I know.
Copy !req
63. What started as a pap smear
turned into a date.
Copy !req
64. Which turned
into her working there,
Copy !req
65. Which turned into marriage,
which then turned into hatred,
Copy !req
66. Which continues to this day.
Copy !req
67. Two-eyed cyclops.
Copy !req
68. Would you please tell him
this isn't a good idea?
Copy !req
69. No, no, I think it'll be great.
Copy !req
70. Maybe next time he gets
conjunctivitis at work,
Copy !req
71. She can hold his head and try
to put the drops in his eyes.
Copy !req
72. Giant baby.
Copy !req
73. That's a raging ogre.
Copy !req
74. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
75. I'm just saying, I'd never want
to work with bernadette.
Copy !req
76. Can you imagine seeing
someone all day long
Copy !req
77. And then you're
supposed to hang out
Copy !req
78. With them after work, too?
Copy !req
79. Hold on. We do
that all the time.
Copy !req
80. You and I work together
and play together.
Copy !req
81. Yeah, I know, and it drove me
into the arms of another woman.
Copy !req
82. Bipolar bear.
Copy !req
83. Well, I appreciate your concern,
Copy !req
84. But I won't be seeing any more
of amy than I already do.
Copy !req
85. I assume we'll deduct
any extra time we spend together
Copy !req
86. At work from our weekly quota.
Copy !req
87. Please let me be there
when you tell her that.
Copy !req
88. Why? So you can see the
look on amy's face
Copy !req
89. When she hears
my top-notch idea?
Copy !req
90. Please, oh, please,
just let me be there.
Copy !req
91. So, amy, what are you gonna
be working on at caltech?
Copy !req
92. I'm leading a study to see
Copy !req
93. If deficiency of the
monoamine oxidase enzyme
Copy !req
94. Leads to paralyzing
fear in monkeys.
Oh.
Copy !req
95. If they're anything like humans,
the answer's yes.
Copy !req
96. Wait, you've-you've done
this experiment on humans?
Copy !req
97. You mean like death row inmates
with nothing to lose?
Copy !req
98. No, that would be unethical.
Copy !req
99. You know,
not a lot of people know this,
Copy !req
100. But the monoamine oxidase enzyme
Copy !req
101. Was discovered by a woman,
mary bernheim.
Copy !req
102. That's right.
Copy !req
103. My phone is just
as smart as you guys.
Copy !req
104. Amy, bernadette, penny.
Copy !req
105. amy, bernadette,
penny.
Copy !req
106. amy, bernadette, penny.
Copy !req
107. He's never gonna
stop doing that, is he?
Copy !req
108. I don't mind.
Copy !req
109. I'm hoping to put
his love of repetition
Copy !req
110. To good use someday.
Copy !req
111. Hi. Um...
Copy !req
112. I've reconsidered.
Copy !req
113. Uh, you can't work
where I work.
Copy !req
114. Enjoy the rest
of your evening.
Copy !req
115. Sheldon.
Copy !req
116. I-I already signed
the contract.
Copy !req
117. I cashed a check.
Copy !req
118. Mmm... You are not going
Copy !req
119. To come out of
this looking good.
Copy !req
120. Sheldon,
I don't understand.
Copy !req
121. I thought you said
you were fine with it.
Copy !req
122. Well, I was.
Copy !req
123. But that was before
howard explained to me
Copy !req
124. How awful it would be
if he had to work
Copy !req
125. With his significant other.
Copy !req
126. He said what?
Copy !req
127. Now, don't be insulted.
Copy !req
128. He just thinks too much of you
would be mind-numbingly tedious.
Copy !req
129. Excuse me, I need to have
a chat with my husband.
Copy !req
130. Yeah, well, now,
well... Keep it short.
Copy !req
131. Fr-from what I gather,
brevity is your friend.
Copy !req
132. So, are we good here?
Copy !req
133. No, we're not good here.
Copy !req
134. I am working on this project.
Copy !req
135. Yeah, and you can't tell her
what she can and cannot do.
Copy !req
136. Last week, you told leonard
he couldn't wear
Copy !req
137. His wookiee jacket
out in public.
Copy !req
138. That's different.
Copy !req
139. I'm not going to the mall
with someone dressed
Copy !req
140. Like a dumb space bear.
Copy !req
141. Sheldon, you don't have to worry
about me bothering you.
Copy !req
142. I'll be in a different building.
Copy !req
143. And we don't even have
to have lunch together.
Copy !req
144. Really?
Copy !req
145. Yes. Before all things,
I'm a scientist.
Copy !req
146. I'm just there to do my work
and, with a little luck,
Copy !req
147. Scare the living crap
out of some monkeys.
Copy !req
148. Hmm.
Copy !req
149. You sure your mothlike
personality won't be drawn
Copy !req
150. To this blazing fire
that is myself?
Copy !req
151. More and more sure.
Copy !req
152. Well, then, you
have my permission.
Copy !req
153. I didn't ask
for your permission.
Copy !req
154. Too late. No backsies.
Copy !req
155. No, no, listen to me.
Sheldon misunderstood.
Copy !req
156. What I meant was,
Copy !req
157. If we worked together,
Copy !req
158. There'd be too much
of me for you,
Copy !req
159. Not the other way around.
Copy !req
160. Howard, if you're going
to lie to your wife,
Copy !req
161. Don't start the sentence
with "sheldon misunderstood."
Copy !req
162. That's a dead giveaway.
Copy !req
163. Well?
Copy !req
164. Okay, fine.
Copy !req
165. I did say that,
and I think it's true.
Copy !req
166. I think if we worked together
and lived together,
Copy !req
167. We'd get sick of each other.
Copy !req
168. Yeah, but to be fair,
he only said the part
Copy !req
169. About him
getting sick of you.
Copy !req
170. For the love of god, why?
Copy !req
171. What exactly do you
think you'd get sick of?
Copy !req
172. His only options here
are to fake a heart attack
Copy !req
173. Or have a real one.
Copy !req
174. It-it's nothing
in particular. I...
Copy !req
175. Is it my voice?
Am I too bossy?
Copy !req
176. What...?
Copy !req
177. My arm is feeling numb.
Copy !req
178. Nailed it.
Copy !req
179. That's the wrong arm for
a heart attack, doofus.
Copy !req
180. My point is, I'm sure
there are things about me
Copy !req
181. That would drive you crazy
if you had to deal
Copy !req
182. With them all day long.
Copy !req
183. Like looking me in the
eye and lying to me?
Copy !req
184. Oh, well, come on, I just...
Copy !req
185. Where am I supposed to
look when I lie to you?
Copy !req
186. Find somewhere else
to sleep tonight.
Copy !req
187. Oh, bernie...
Copy !req
188. If it makes you feel any better,
amy and I are fine.
Copy !req
189. I mean, really good.
Copy !req
190. So, boys, how was
the pajama party?
Copy !req
191. You guys jump on the bed
and sing into hair brushes?
Copy !req
192. It wasn't a pajama party.
Copy !req
193. It was just a couple of bros
hanging out, giggling,
Copy !req
194. Eating cookie dough
and watching princess bride.
Copy !req
195. Please, stop talking.
Copy !req
196. As you wish.
Copy !req
197. I mean, you know, sheldon,
none of this would've happened
Copy !req
198. If I hadn't tried
to help you.
Copy !req
199. Uh, it also wouldn't
have happened
Copy !req
200. If, in the early universe,
Copy !req
201. Hydrogen was a little more
common or a little less common.
Copy !req
202. This is fun. Your turn.
Copy !req
203. Gentlemen.
Hey, amy.
Copy !req
204. Hello.
Copy !req
205. That was kind of icy.
Copy !req
206. You two okay?
Copy !req
207. Oh, we're fine.
Copy !req
208. As howard advised,
Copy !req
209. She's merely respecting our
professional boundaries.
Copy !req
210. Smart.
Copy !req
211. Take relationship advice
from a man
Copy !req
212. Who spent last night
braiding raj's hair.
Copy !req
213. Yeah, you make
a good point.
Copy !req
214. It would appear
I was worried for nothing.
Copy !req
215. Look at her, desperately wishing
Copy !req
216. She was over here
at the cool table.
Copy !req
217. Don't worry, little moth.
Copy !req
218. The flame will come to you.
Copy !req
219. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
220. On the off chance that
bernadette doesn't call back
Copy !req
221. And apologize,
how do you feel
Copy !req
222. About mexican food
for dinner tonight?
Copy !req
223. I-I don't know.
Sounds kind of heavy.
Copy !req
224. That's 'cause you always
fill up on chips.
Copy !req
225. And this is dr. Gunderson
from stockholm.
Copy !req
226. Ah, sweden.
Copy !req
227. Yeah, home of my favorite muppet
Copy !req
228. And, uh,
second favorite meatball.
Copy !req
229. Okay, the nordic reputation for
lack of humor is well-founded.
Copy !req
230. Boy, is his name gunderson
or no-funderson?
Copy !req
231. Where are we going
with this, dr. Cooper?
Copy !req
232. Oh, please, I'm your boyfriend.
Copy !req
233. You call me sheldon.
Copy !req
234. That's right,
I am in a boy-girl relationship
Copy !req
235. With this cute little
lump of wool.
Copy !req
236. Sheldon...
Copy !req
237. It's a physical
relationship, too.
Copy !req
238. Hand-holding, hugging...
Even on hot days.
Copy !req
239. Ow.
Copy !req
240. Okay, here's a new one.
Copy !req
241. Apparently now
we kick each other
Copy !req
242. In the shin under the table.
Copy !req
243. How do you like it
when I do it to you?
Copy !req
244. Not so much, huh?
Copy !req
245. Test subject d7,
Copy !req
246. Aka betsy, fear response study.
Copy !req
247. Image number one: French man
on bicycle carrying baguettes.
Copy !req
248. No visible reaction.
Copy !req
249. Image number two: Sousaphone.
Copy !req
250. Still no reaction.
Copy !req
251. Okay.
Copy !req
252. Let's kick things up a notch.
Copy !req
253. Image number three: Crocodile
with a mouthful of monkeys.
Copy !req
254. Okay, now we're talking.
Copy !req
255. Dr. Fowler?
Copy !req
256. What do you want, sheldon?
Copy !req
257. Well, I'm done
with work, so...
Copy !req
258. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Copy !req
259. Sorry. Uh...
Copy !req
260. Better?
Copy !req
261. Oh, baguettes.
Copy !req
262. Yes, I like baguettes.
Copy !req
263. What exactly
are you doing?
Copy !req
264. Determining baseline fear levels
in capuchin monkeys
Copy !req
265. By measuring their response
to visual stimuli.
Copy !req
266. So, goofing off.
Copy !req
267. As I was saying, I'm done
with work and leonard's not.
Copy !req
268. So good news,
you get to take me home.
Copy !req
269. Play your cards right,
Copy !req
270. I'll let you drive me
Copy !req
271. Past the lot
where the buses park at night.
Copy !req
272. I can't leave now, sheldon.
Copy !req
273. I'm very busy.
Copy !req
274. Besides, why would I want
to do you a favor
Copy !req
275. After the way you treated
me in the cafeteria?
Copy !req
276. Image number four:
Boa constrictor.
Copy !req
277. What on earth
are you talking about?
Copy !req
278. My behavior
in the cafeteria
Copy !req
279. Was delightful.
Copy !req
280. Maybe your friend
gunderson needs
Copy !req
281. To head over
to ikea and assemble
Copy !req
282. A sense of humor.
Copy !req
283. You embarrassed me
in front of my colleagues
Copy !req
284. On my first day here.
Copy !req
285. Image number five:
Copy !req
286. Kitten in a teacup.
Copy !req
287. Oh.
Copy !req
288. Oh... Embarrassed you?
You know what?
Copy !req
289. I don't have time for this.
Find another way home.
Copy !req
290. I'm starting to get the sense
that you're angry with me.
Copy !req
291. Really?
What tipped you off?
Copy !req
292. Couple things, actually.
Copy !req
293. Your tone of voice,
your body language...
Copy !req
294. Get out.
Well, now, that.
Copy !req
295. Image number six:
Woman giving birth.
Copy !req
296. It's 9:00.
Where you been?
Copy !req
297. Oh, I had to take
the bus home.
Copy !req
298. Fell asleep and missed my stop.
Copy !req
299. Oh, no.
Copy !req
300. Did you know that los angeles
has a little sri lanka?
Copy !req
301. I did not.
Copy !req
302. Well, I do... Now.
Copy !req
303. They're a lovely people.
Copy !req
304. Although terrifying when you
wake up face-to-face with them.
Copy !req
305. If you're hungry, I brought home
Copy !req
306. Some mutton and coconut milk.
Copy !req
307. Why'd you get that?
You hate lamb.
Copy !req
308. I was asking for directions.
Copy !req
309. Apparently, there was
a communication problem.
Copy !req
310. I thought amy was gonna
drive you home.
Copy !req
311. Yeah, I thought so, too,
Copy !req
312. But she's acting very strangely.
Copy !req
313. I was discussing it with
a sri lankan fellow on the bus,
Copy !req
314. And he hypothesized
that a tiger may have
Copy !req
315. Recently run across her shadow.
Copy !req
316. Although he may have just been
trying to drum up business
Copy !req
317. For his brother-in-law's
witch doctor practice.
Copy !req
318. Okay, sheldon, what happened
between you and amy?
Copy !req
319. Well, can you believe
she said I embarrassed her?
Copy !req
320. Yeah.
Copy !req
321. But you didn't
even hear the details.
Copy !req
322. Sheldon...
Copy !req
323. I've known you
a long time,
Copy !req
324. And I'm going
to tell you this
Copy !req
325. With all the love
I can possibly muster.
Copy !req
326. Amy's right.
Copy !req
327. You're wrong.
Copy !req
328. But you don't even know...
Copy !req
329. Doesn't matter.
Copy !req
330. But, now, but in my defense...
Doesn't matter.
Copy !req
331. You're not listening
to my side of it.
Copy !req
332. Okay, fine, sheldon.
What is your side?
Copy !req
333. Well...
Copy !req
334. Nope, got to go with
amy on this one.
Copy !req
335. Shrimp was spicy.
Copy !req
336. You want a tums?
Copy !req
337. You got
the tropical fruit kind?
Copy !req
338. No, if I buy those, I just
go through them like candy.
Copy !req
339. Tell me about it.
Copy !req
340. One time, I swear
I pooped out a stick of chalk.
Copy !req
341. I'll get it.
Thanks.
Copy !req
342. Hi.
Copy !req
343. Oh, hi.
Copy !req
344. I may have overreacted.
Copy !req
345. Yeah, well, I didn't
handle it so great, either.
Copy !req
346. It's just sometimes I feel
like you enjoy spending time
Copy !req
347. With your friends
more than with me.
Copy !req
348. That's not true.
It's not?
Copy !req
349. You spend all day
together at work,
Copy !req
350. And then you all hang out
at night playing games,
Copy !req
351. Going to the comic book store.
Copy !req
352. Last week, you two got
a couples massage.
Copy !req
353. So, when you said you wouldn't
want to spend that much time
Copy !req
354. With me, it really
hurt my feelings.
Copy !req
355. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
356. Yeah, no, I get that.
Copy !req
357. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
358. Starting tomorrow, I am
turning over a new leaf.
Copy !req
359. Time with you is my
number one priority.
Copy !req
360. Why tomorrow?
Copy !req
361. Well, we're real close
to finishing off
Copy !req
362. The new batman game.
Copy !req
363. It is awesome.
Copy !req
364. Uh, you should probably
go after her.
Copy !req
365. Should I go after you?
Copy !req
366. No!
Copy !req
367. Thanks for getting me
in trouble.
Copy !req
368. Amy.
Copy !req
369. Amy.
Copy !req
370. Amy.
Copy !req
371. Sheldon, what are you
doing here so late?
Copy !req
372. I couldn't sleep
because I kept thinking
Copy !req
373. About what happened
earlier between us.
Copy !req
374. Also, I had one heck
of a bus nap.
Copy !req
375. Oh, speaking of which,
Copy !req
376. Do you want some mutton
and coconut milk?
Copy !req
377. No.
Copy !req
378. Well, I cannot give
this stuff away.
Copy !req
379. What do you want?
Copy !req
380. Amy, this isn't easy to say.
Copy !req
381. All relationships are difficult,
Copy !req
382. But even more so
when you're in one
Copy !req
383. With a person who struggles
Copy !req
384. With everyday
social interactions.
Copy !req
385. And frankly...
Copy !req
386. Who can strike some people
Copy !req
387. As being kind of a weirdo.
Copy !req
388. Sheldon...
Copy !req
389. You're not a weirdo.
Copy !req
390. I wasn't speaking about me.
Copy !req
391. I mean, honestly,
there's no telling
Copy !req
