1. What are you
working on?
Copy !req
2. Can't talk.
In the zone.
Copy !req
3. Do you know
what he's doing?
Copy !req
4. Could be anything.
Copy !req
5. Last time he was like this,
he figured out
Copy !req
6. Electron transport in graphene.
Copy !req
7. The time before that,
he was making a list
Copy !req
8. Of who's allowed in his
tree fort if he ever gets one.
Copy !req
9. Still can't believe
I didn't make the cut.
Copy !req
10. Uh, sheldon,
you want to take a break?
Copy !req
11. Your food's ready.
Copy !req
12. No, no,
what are you doing?
Copy !req
13. He's both happy and quiet.
Copy !req
14. It's like seeing a unicorn
and bigfoot at the same time.
Copy !req
15. Sorry we're so late.
Copy !req
16. Bernadette got
stuck at work.
Copy !req
17. Great news!
Copy !req
18. A raccoon virus just
crossed the species barrier
Copy !req
19. And now can infect humans!
Copy !req
20. Why is that great news?
Copy !req
21. In the pharmaceutical business,
we have a saying:
Copy !req
22. "mo' infections, mo' money."
Copy !req
23. Wait!
Copy !req
24. Maybe you want to wash
Copy !req
25. Your little raccoon
hands first.
Copy !req
26. Oh, calm down.
Copy !req
27. If I had it,
I'd be dead already.
Copy !req
28. Guys, listen up.
Copy !req
29. Can't listen, zone.
Copy !req
30. Also don't care.
Copy !req
31. Next week is the anniversary
Copy !req
32. Of my first date
with bernadette.
Copy !req
33. Really don't care.
Copy !req
34. I want to do something special,
Copy !req
35. And I was hoping
you guys could be a part of it.
Copy !req
36. Aw, what horrible thing
Copy !req
37. Are you trying
to make up for?
Copy !req
38. Just putting something
in the bank
Copy !req
39. For what horrible thing
I do next.
Copy !req
40. Ah.
Copy !req
41. Look, she's gonna be back
any second, so here's the deal:
Copy !req
42. I'm writing a song,
and I was hoping
Copy !req
43. We could all play it
for her together.
Copy !req
44. Aw...
Oh, I love that.
Copy !req
45. That is so beautiful.
Copy !req
46. Sheldon?
Copy !req
47. When did we get to
the cheesecake factory?
Copy !req
48. It's really sweet what howard
wants to do for bernadette.
Copy !req
49. Yeah.
Copy !req
50. Hey, how come you've never
done anything romantic
Copy !req
51. To celebrate
our first date?
Copy !req
52. Well, for starters, you've
broken up with me so many times,
Copy !req
53. Which first date
are we talking about?
Copy !req
54. Ooh, somebody call
the burn ward.
Copy !req
55. And back to the zone.
Copy !req
56. And besides, I do romantic
things for you all the time.
Copy !req
57. Can you even name
Copy !req
58. One romantic thing
you've done for me?
Copy !req
59. I can name tons.
Copy !req
60. Sex doesn't count.
Oh.
Copy !req
61. I know, what about
that bed-and-breakfast?
Copy !req
62. Well, I took you there.
Copy !req
63. All you did was...
Copy !req
64. I know what I did.
Copy !req
65. I bet they had to throw
out that rocking chair.
Copy !req
66. You know, I can be
romantic if I want to.
Copy !req
67. It's fine.
Copy !req
68. And also not true.
Copy !req
69. Okay, just you
wait and see.
Copy !req
70. I'm gonna romance
your freakin' ass off.
Copy !req
71. That's beautiful.
Copy !req
72. Is that shakespeare?
Copy !req
73. Sheldon?
Copy !req
74. Zone.
Copy !req
75. He'll figure it out when
he falls off the roof.
Copy !req
76. Sheldon, I know
you're in the zone,
Copy !req
77. But do you
want some tea?
Copy !req
78. All right, I can't believe
I'm gonna say this,
Copy !req
79. But you haven't
spoken in hours
Copy !req
80. And I'm starting
to get worried.
Copy !req
81. Please say something.
Copy !req
82. Leonard, prepare
to be humbled
Copy !req
83. And weep at the glory
of my genius.
Copy !req
84. Nope, it was better before.
Copy !req
85. Look at it.
Copy !req
86. I feel like my mind
just made a baby.
Copy !req
87. And it's beautiful.
Copy !req
88. It's not like human babies,
Copy !req
89. Which are loud
and covered in goop.
Copy !req
90. Holy crap, sheldon,
Copy !req
91. Did you just
figure out a method
Copy !req
92. For synthesizing a new stable
super-heavy element?
Copy !req
93. Did I?
Copy !req
94. Well, that can't
be right.
Copy !req
95. No one's ever done that before.
Copy !req
96. Except me,
because I just did it!
Copy !req
97. Yeah, definitely better before.
Copy !req
98. So I'm almost done writing
the song for bernadette.
Copy !req
99. Are you cool
playing the cello?
Copy !req
100. If by "cool" you mean
"willing to," yes.
Copy !req
101. If by "cool"
you mean "cool,"
Copy !req
102. Clearly you've never
seen me play the cello.
Copy !req
103. Great.
Will you play the ukulele?
Copy !req
104. Of course. I'd be happy
to shred it on my ax.
Copy !req
105. Or you could just play
your tiny, ridiculous guitar.
Copy !req
106. Fine. I will
melt her heart.
Copy !req
107. And her face!
Copy !req
108. Gentlemen.
Copy !req
109. Uh, no doubt you heard about
my little breakthrough.
Copy !req
110. Now, if your plan
Copy !req
111. Is to hoist me
on your shoulders
Copy !req
112. And carry me around the
cafeteria, please refrain.
Copy !req
113. I don't care
for heights,
Copy !req
114. Motion sickness
Copy !req
115. Or the thought of your necks
touching my buttocks.
Copy !req
116. Seriously,
congratulations, sheldon.
Copy !req
117. Yeah, I read
your paper online.
Copy !req
118. That technique for creating
a new heavy element is inspired.
Copy !req
119. Oh, well, thank you.
Copy !req
120. Believe it or not,
Copy !req
121. I just learned
a chinese research team
Copy !req
122. At the hubei institute
for nuclear physics
Copy !req
123. Ran a test on a cyclotron,
Copy !req
124. And the results were
extremely promising.
Copy !req
125. Sheldon,
that's incredible.
Copy !req
126. Yeah, I know! They called it
the greatest thing
Copy !req
127. Since the communist party.
Copy !req
128. Although I'm pretty sure that
Copy !req
129. The communist party
made them say that.
Copy !req
130. I like china.
Copy !req
131. See, they know how to keep
people in line.
Copy !req
132. So, what happens next?
Copy !req
133. Oh, more testing,
more success, more fame.
Copy !req
134. But don't worry,
Copy !req
135. I will remain the same
down-to-earth humble joe
Copy !req
136. I've always been.
Copy !req
137. Good to know.
Yeah.
Copy !req
138. Now give me
that cookie;
Copy !req
139. I discovered an element.
Copy !req
140. Thank you so much
for coming.
Copy !req
141. You called the right person.
Copy !req
142. I believe I have
the perfect romantic evening
Copy !req
143. For you to give leonard.
Copy !req
144. Okay, good,
'cause I've been
Copy !req
145. Really struggling
with this.
Copy !req
146. As I'm sure you're aware,
Copy !req
147. The quickest way to a man's
heart is through his...
Copy !req
148. Pants, but leonard says
sex doesn't count.
Copy !req
149. Oh. You poor thing.
Copy !req
150. You have one arrow
in your quiver,
Copy !req
151. And you just can't use it.
Copy !req
152. Fortunately, another
pathway to a man's heart
Copy !req
153. Is through his stomach.
Copy !req
154. I don't know if
I want to cook for him;
Copy !req
155. He's kind of a picky eater.
Copy !req
156. I mean,
"it's too salty.
Copy !req
157. "it's too dry.
Copy !req
158. It's too burnt and frozen
at the same time."
Copy !req
159. Wait, come on,
Copy !req
160. What else would
sweep you off your feet?
Copy !req
161. Well, I've always had
this fantasy
Copy !req
162. That involves dancing.
Copy !req
163. The sexual chemistry
Copy !req
164. Between my partner and me
is electric.
Copy !req
165. But boy, oh, boy,
Copy !req
166. Does my father not approve
Copy !req
167. Until he sees us
in the big dance competition.
Copy !req
168. Okay, that's just
the plot for dirty dancing.
Copy !req
169. What else would you love?
Copy !req
170. Other than being lifted over
patrick swayze's head.
Copy !req
171. Oh! Oh, uh, you could, uh,
stand outside his window
Copy !req
172. With a boom box in the air.
Copy !req
173. That's from say anything.
Copy !req
174. Look, I'm a lonely guy;
I watch a lot of movies.
Copy !req
175. Look, penny, if you truly
want to be romantic,
Copy !req
176. It needs to come
from you.
Copy !req
177. I get that,
but why is this so hard?
Copy !req
178. Well, you've probably
never had to do this stuff
Copy !req
179. 'cause you're
young and beautiful
Copy !req
180. And men have always thrown
themselves at you.
Copy !req
181. Hmm.
Copy !req
182. Yeah, I'm trying
to be sad about that.
Copy !req
183. I can't.
Copy !req
184. Let's see,
what's next?
Copy !req
185. Okay! Here.
Copy !req
186. This is
the magic marker
Copy !req
187. I was using when
I made the discovery.
Copy !req
188. I don't think the smithsonian's
gonna want your marker.
Copy !req
189. And that's why you're not
on a list for my tree fort.
Copy !req
190. Ooh, guess who's
getting an article
Copy !req
191. Written about him
in physics today?
Copy !req
192. I'll give you a hint.
Copy !req
193. You measured the diameter of
his suspicious mole yesterday.
Copy !req
194. Sheldon, I'm so proud of you.
Copy !req
195. Well, you should be.
Copy !req
196. My discovery is
spreading like wildfire.
Copy !req
197. Unlike my mole,
which is holding steady
Copy !req
198. At the size of
a navy bean.
Copy !req
199. What's next?
Copy !req
200. This is
the very copy
Copy !req
201. Of the handbook of
chemistry and physics
Copy !req
202. In which I looked up
the reaction rates
Copy !req
203. Of mendelevium and...
Copy !req
204. And what?
No.
Copy !req
205. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
206. What's wrong?
Copy !req
207. I've made a horrible mistake.
Copy !req
208. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
209. This table—
it's in square centimeters.
Copy !req
210. I read it as square meters.
Copy !req
211. You know what that means?
Copy !req
212. That americans can't handle
the metric system?
Copy !req
213. Amy, I was off by
a factor of 10,000.
Copy !req
214. But the chinese team
found the element.
Copy !req
215. Yeah, well, they shouldn't have.
Copy !req
216. My calculations were wrong.
Copy !req
217. There must be some resonance
Copy !req
218. Between the elements
I didn't know about.
Copy !req
219. So you just got lucky?
Copy !req
220. Sheldon cooper
does not get lucky!
Copy !req
221. You and me both, brother.
Copy !req
222. It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
223. The element was found
because of you,
Copy !req
224. And that's groundbreaking.
Copy !req
225. What matters is
Copy !req
226. The greatest
scientific achievement
Copy !req
227. Of my life is
based on a blunder.
Copy !req
228. I'm not a genius,
I'm a fraud.
Copy !req
229. You know, sheldon,
in neuroscience,
Copy !req
230. We're forever finding something
in one part of the brain
Copy !req
231. That we thought was
someplace else.
Copy !req
232. Oh, great.
Copy !req
233. Now I'm worse
than a fraud.
Copy !req
234. I'm practically
a biologist.
Copy !req
235. You got to stop beating
yourself up over this.
Copy !req
236. I mean, you made a mistake,
but it was a happy mistake.
Copy !req
237. There's nothing happy about it.
Copy !req
238. I'm being given credit
that I don't deserve.
Copy !req
239. Oh, people get things
they don't deserve all the time.
Copy !req
240. Look at me with you.
Copy !req
241. No, leonard,
this is going to haunt me
Copy !req
242. For the rest of my life.
Copy !req
243. Every science classroom,
Copy !req
244. Every periodic table,
every textbook—
Copy !req
245. This mistake will be
staring back at me.
Copy !req
246. Like that time you let
koothrappali wax your eyebrows.
Copy !req
247. I've got to find a way
to stop this thing.
Copy !req
248. Buddy, I don't
think you can.
Copy !req
249. I mean, once it's out there,
it's out there.
Copy !req
250. This thing is like the science
equivalent of a sex tape.
Copy !req
251. You know, frankly,
I'd prefer a sex tape.
Copy !req
252. You don't know
what a sex tape is, do you?
Copy !req
253. No.
Copy !req
254. Make sure you guys get
to the restaurant by 8:00.
Copy !req
255. Bernadette's meeting
me there at 8:30
Copy !req
256. And I don't want
to blow the surprise.
We'll be there.
Copy !req
257. Got it.
Copy !req
258. Now, uh, I have a question
about the song.
Copy !req
259. I was thinking
at some point
Copy !req
260. I could bust out
a little rap.
Copy !req
261. N-n-n-no...
Copy !req
262. Come on, come on, you
haven't even heard it yet.
Copy !req
263. Leonard,
give me a beat.
Copy !req
264. I will not.
Copy !req
265. Please?
Copy !req
266. No, I want this
to be romantic.
Copy !req
267. It will be!
Copy !req
268. I don't call
anyone a ho,
Copy !req
269. And the only time I use
the phrase "my bitch,"
Copy !req
270. I'm referring to you.
Copy !req
271. There he is!
Copy !req
272. Stop it.
Copy !req
273. Stop celebrating me!
Copy !req
274. Woo!
Copy !req
275. And no woos!
Copy !req
276. Oh, not you, dr. Woo.
You're fine.
Copy !req
277. I want you all to know
Copy !req
278. That you have no reason
to applaud me.
Copy !req
279. My so-called
breakthrough
Copy !req
280. Wasn't the result of my genius.
Copy !req
281. It was nothing more than
a boneheaded mistake.
Copy !req
282. So please refrain
Copy !req
283. From praising me for it
in the future.
Copy !req
284. Wh... I don't understand.
Copy !req
285. They didn't find the element?
Copy !req
286. Oh, no, they found the element.
Copy !req
287. No, no, stop it!
Copy !req
288. I don't need
to take this admiration
Copy !req
289. From the likes
of you people!
Copy !req
290. How do I make them
stop loving me?
Copy !req
291. Invite them
to live with us.
Copy !req
292. Boy, bernadette is
gonna love this.
Copy !req
293. Yeah. It must be nice
to have someone
Copy !req
294. Do something
so romantic.
Copy !req
295. Okay, you know
what's not romantic?
Copy !req
296. Rubbing it in someone's face.
Copy !req
297. Actually, it can be,
Copy !req
298. But I told you
sex doesn't count.
Copy !req
299. I'm getting worried
about bernadette.
Copy !req
300. I'm gonna call
and check on her.
Copy !req
301. The national science foundation
Copy !req
302. Wants to give me
a substantial grant.
Copy !req
303. Oh, that's a big deal.
Copy !req
304. I know.
Copy !req
305. When will this
nightmare end?
Copy !req
306. Hey, I get that you feel bad
about all the attention,
Copy !req
307. But still,
what you did is amazing.
Copy !req
308. We're really proud of you.
Copy !req
309. I'm not.
Copy !req
310. You're not?
Copy !req
311. Sheldon, I've been
thinking about it,
Copy !req
312. And you're right.
Copy !req
313. You don't deserve
any credit.
Copy !req
314. All you did was misread
some numbers on a table.
Copy !req
315. A very easy table, too.
Copy !req
316. Honestly, I'm
embarrassed for you.
Copy !req
317. That's the most romantic thing
I've ever heard.
Copy !req
318. Damn it, everyone's better
at this than me.
Copy !req
319. Congratulations,
dr. Fowler.
Copy !req
320. You just made the fort.
Copy !req
321. Guys, there w-was
an accident at bernie's lab.
Copy !req
322. Oh, my god,
is she okay?
Copy !req
323. Yeah, but she's at
the hospital in quarantine.
Copy !req
324. What?
Poor bernadette.
Copy !req
325. Oh, no.
Copy !req
326. I hate to pile on the bad news,
but I just got a raise.
Copy !req
327. Oh, my god, bernie,
what happened?
Copy !req
328. Well, let's just say
the next time you move
Copy !req
329. A dozen vials of raccoon virus
to the fridge, make two trips.
Copy !req
330. You're sure you're okay?
Copy !req
331. Yeah, it's just a precaution.
Copy !req
332. If there was a problem,
Copy !req
333. I'd be throwing up
out of my eyeballs by now.
Copy !req
334. Sorry I messed up our date.
Copy !req
335. No, don't worry
about it.
Copy !req
336. I brought the
date here.
Copy !req
337. Guys, come on in.
Copy !req
338. What's all this?
Copy !req
339. Well, tonight is the anniversary
of our first date,
Copy !req
340. And I wanted to celebrate it
by writing a song for you.
Copy !req
341. Howie.
Copy !req
342. Sheldon,
get over here!
Copy !req
343. She might be contagious.
Copy !req
344. Don't you think I'm having
a rough enough day?
Copy !req
345. Sheldon!
Copy !req
346. Is it me, or does she
not look so good?
Shh!
Copy !req
347. Oh, howie.
Copy !req
348. Howie, that was amazing!
Copy !req
349. Look, I'm shaking.
Copy !req
350. She's sick,
I knew it. Bye!
Copy !req
351. I have to say,
Copy !req
352. This is the best top ramen
you've ever made.
Copy !req
353. I discovered
a secret ingredient:
Copy !req
354. The flavor packet.
Copy !req
355. That sucker is well named.
Copy !req
356. All right, lover boy.
Copy !req
357. Get ready, 'cause there is
a crap storm of romance
Copy !req
358. Coming your way.
Copy !req
359. Stop it,
you're gonna make me cry.
Copy !req
360. All right. You seem
pretty confident.
Copy !req
361. Oh, I am.
Copy !req
362. Maybe if you follow this trail,
Copy !req
363. You'll see why.
Copy !req
364. Oh, rose petals.
Copy !req
365. Yes.
Copy !req
366. The most beautiful
Copy !req
367. And shockingly expensive
of all the flowers.
Copy !req
368. You made the bed?
Copy !req
369. You really are pulling
out all the stops.
Copy !req
370. Okay, I gave this
a lot of thought,
Copy !req
371. And I finally found
something to show you
Copy !req
372. How much I love you.
Copy !req
373. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
374. It's a first edition of
Copy !req
375. Hitchhiker's guide
to the galaxy.
Copy !req
376. I remember it was
your favorite book growing up.
Copy !req
377. This is great.
Copy !req
378. It... Thank you.
Copy !req
379. It's... So much.
Copy !req
380. What?
Copy !req
381. Nothing. I love it.
No.
Copy !req
382. Something's going on.
What's wrong with it?
Copy !req
383. I remember you saying
how great it would be
Copy !req
384. To have a first edition.
Copy !req
385. It's true, I-I did.
Copy !req
386. I did say that...
Copy !req
387. When we were at the used
bookstore together
Copy !req
388. And I saw the first
edition and I bought it.
Copy !req
389. Oh, my god,
I am the worst!
Copy !req
390. No, no, it's okay.
It's really thoughtful.
Copy !req
391. No, it's not! I mean...
Copy !req
392. What's thoughtful
is everything you do.
Copy !req
393. Here, you know what?
Look at this.
Copy !req
394. Look, here's the...
The plane ticket you bought me
Copy !req
395. When I was too poor
to go home for the holidays.
Copy !req
396. And the rose you left
on my windshield...
Copy !req
397. Just because.
Copy !req
398. Here's the-the thank-you
letter you wrote me
Copy !req
399. After the first time
I slept with you.
Copy !req
400. All 11 pages of it.
Copy !req
401. Can't believe
you saved all this stuff.
Copy !req
402. Of course I did.
Copy !req
403. It's you.
Copy !req
404. Come here.
Copy !req
405. Oh.
Copy !req
406. Is that
a pregnancy test?
Copy !req
407. Oh, yeah,
just the first one.
Copy !req
408. I didn't save them all.
Copy !req
409. I can't believe I read
this table wrong.
Copy !req
410. I blame you.
Copy !req
411. Me? What did I do?
Copy !req
412. You distract me.
Copy !req
413. I've been distracted since
the moment I met you.
Copy !req
414. Sorry.
Copy !req
415. Well, you should be.
Copy !req
416. Because all I
can think about
Copy !req
417. Is how much I want
to kiss you.
Copy !req
418. And not just on the cheek,
but on the mouth.
Copy !req
419. Like mommies
and daddies do.
Copy !req
420. Oh, sheldon.
Copy !req
421. Amy?
Copy !req
422. Amy.
Copy !req
423. Did you hear
what I said?
Copy !req
424. Can't talk, in the zone.
