1
00:00:02,810 --> 00:00:07,080
My new book The Hidden Reality
takes on a grand question:

2
00:00:07,090 --> 00:00:10,050
Is our universe
the only universe?

3
00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:13,290
You see, there's a growing
belief among scientists like me

4
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:16,860
that ours may only be one
among many universes

5
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:18,930
populating a gigantic cosmos.

6
00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:21,870
In The Hidden Reality,
I explore this possibility

7
00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:24,800
without presuming any knowledge
of mathematics or physics

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,000
on the part of the reader.

9
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:29,310
Hysterical.

10
00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:31,780
I'm glad you
talked me into this.

11
00:00:31,780 --> 00:00:34,250
We work so hard, sometimes,
it's nice to goof off

12
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:36,950
and do something silly.
Agreed.

13
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:40,480
Wait till you hear how he dumbs down
Werner Heisenberg for the crowd.

14
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:42,500
You may actually believe
you're in a comedy club.

15
00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:46,620
You can think about Heisenberg's
"uncertainty principle"

16
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:48,630
much like the special order menu

17
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:51,060
that you find in certain Chinese
restaurants, where you have

18
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:54,100
dishes in column A
and other dishes in column B,

19
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,230
and if you order the first dish
in column A,

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,440
you can't order the
corresponding dish in column B.

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,010
That's sort of like the
"uncertainly principle."

22
00:01:04,210 --> 00:01:07,860
Say, I heard an
interesting tidbit

23
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:09,210
about Howard and
Bernadette.

24
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:11,350
Really, Amy? Gossip?

25
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:13,080
I'm disappointed in you.

26
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:14,390
Now, now.

27
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:17,460
Evolutionary biologist Robin
Dunbar has identified gossip

28
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:19,860
as an aid to social
bonding in large groups.

29
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:23,530
Forgive my language,
but "poppycock."

30
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:24,560
What if he's right?

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,660
And by not
participating in gossip,

32
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:28,030
society breaks
down into

33
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:30,400
small feral bands of tattooed
motorcycle riders

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,750
fighting to the death over the
last few cans of tuna fish?

35
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:34,170
Fine.

36
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:36,440
In the parlance
of the urban music scene,

37
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,080
"what's the 4-1-1"?

38
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,750
Bernadette is thinking about
breaking up with Howard.

39
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:45,580
I believe our nation's
tuna cans are safe.

40
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:48,820
Excuse me.
Dr. Greene, question?

41
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:50,690
Yes?

42
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:52,070
You've dedicated
your life's work

43
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:54,090
to educating
the general populace

44
00:01:54,090 --> 00:01:56,630
about complex scientific ideas.

45
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:57,900
Yes, in part.

46
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,430
Have you ever considered

47
00:01:59,430 --> 00:02:01,570
trying to do something useful?

48
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:06,400
Perhaps, reading to the elderly?

49
00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:08,060
Excuse me?

50
00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:11,640
Yeah, but not your books;
something they might enjoy.

51
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,380
I kid, of course. Big fan.

720p BluRay x264-CLUE by lorez —

53
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:52,510
Nice shot.
Thank you.

54
00:02:52,510 --> 00:02:56,580
My father taught me archery
as a child.

55
00:03:00,110 --> 00:03:01,920
It's odd how the activity

56
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,920
brings back the smell
of Kmart bourbon.

57
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:09,160
Perfect.
I know.

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,690
What an elf
I would have made.

59
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:14,330
Whoo.

60
00:03:14,330 --> 00:03:15,500
What do you think you're doing?

61
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,030
Shooting at a target?

62
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:18,000
With what?

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,170
An arrow.
Really?

64
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:23,100
I didn't see you draw one
from your quiver.

65
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:25,170
I'm not going to do that,
Sheldon.

66
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:28,180
Leonard, the people at Nintendo
can only go so far

67
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:31,650
in helping us recreate
an actual athletic experience.

68
00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:33,710
We have to do our part, too.

69
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,120
That was uncalled for,
but...

70
00:03:43,130 --> 00:03:46,130
I'll play along. Ow.

71
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:52,700
I had an unusual experience
with Amy last night.

72
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,970
Really? How could you tell?

73
00:03:56,870 --> 00:04:00,470
She was attempting
to engage me in gossip.

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,210
Mm. You don't say.
Yes.

75
00:04:02,210 --> 00:04:04,140
I think prolonged exposure
to Penny

76
00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:07,050
has turned her into a bit
of a Gabby Gertie.

77
00:04:07,050 --> 00:04:08,780
So, what's the gossip?

78
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:10,880
Oh, please, I was just
pointing it out.

79
00:04:10,890 --> 00:04:13,400
I have no desire to engage
in the activity.

80
00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:14,820
Fine, don't tell me.

81
00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:19,080
All right, get this.

82
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Bernadette is thinking
about breaking up with Howard.

83
00:04:22,770 --> 00:04:24,100
Oh...

84
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,230
That's too bad.
I wonder what happened.

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Mm, it's hard to say.
I can only speculate

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,840
based on the data I collected

87
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,710
watching my parents' marriage
implode.

88
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:35,130
In that case,
the woman dives into religion,

89
00:04:35,130 --> 00:04:37,880
while the man dives
into a bottle-blonde bartender

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,470
who tries to buy my love
with action figures.

91
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,420
Oop! Out of arrows.

92
00:04:54,930 --> 00:04:58,430
Boy, you sure get your money's
worth out of these games.

93
00:05:00,470 --> 00:05:04,100
Priya, can I come in?
Sure.

94
00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:06,940
Oh, God.

95
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:09,110
What?
It's okay.

96
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:12,080
You didn't know.
I'll take care of it.

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,130
What-what did I do?

98
00:05:14,130 --> 00:05:15,580
Sheldon doesn't allow flossing

99
00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:17,150
that close to the mirror.

100
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:18,250
You're kidding.

101
00:05:18,250 --> 00:05:19,850
It's a splatter thing.

102
00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:21,690
There's a little piece of tape
on the floor

103
00:05:21,690 --> 00:05:23,620
you're supposed to stand behind.

104
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:25,560
That's madness.
I know.

105
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,790
Just do it. There's a big
inspection coming up,

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,810
and I don't want to lose
my TV privileges.

107
00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:32,930
You really need
to let me take a look

108
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:34,670
at that roommate agreement,
one of these days.

109
00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:36,190
Mm, I don't know.

110
00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:38,360
I get a lawyer,
he gets a lawyer...

111
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,970
It's just easier
to stand behind the tape.

112
00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:42,710
Oh, by the way,
a fellow at work

113
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:44,490
said I could use his
Dodger tickets this weekend.

114
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:46,780
Does that sound like fun?
Yeah!

115
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:49,580
Dodgers are baseball,
right?

116
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:51,650
You'll need to explain
the game to me.

117
00:05:51,650 --> 00:05:53,090
Mm, it's complicated.

118
00:05:53,090 --> 00:05:55,160
But as I remember it,
the essentials are

119
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,490
"get chosen last, get hit
by the ball, cry, go home."

120
00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:02,130
Well, regardless,
I've got four tickets.

121
00:06:02,130 --> 00:06:04,630
And I was thinking we can bring
Bernadette and Howard.

122
00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:08,100
She's really interesting,
and I bet I can get used to him.

123
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,000
Well, it might not
be a great idea

124
00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:12,440
to invite those two.
Why not?

125
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,270
Don't tell anybody
I told you,

126
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,280
but I heard she might
be breaking up with him.

127
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,150
Oh... too bad...

128
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:20,530
Although I do know one person
for whom that's good news.

129
00:06:20,530 --> 00:06:21,680
Really? Who?

130
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,950
My brother.

131
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:24,320
He's got a big crush
on Bernadette.

132
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:28,660
What?

133
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:30,760
You're kidding.

134
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,710
No. I found poems
he wrote about her.

135
00:06:33,710 --> 00:06:35,130
Very disturbing.

136
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:39,330
"Oh, Bernadette,
please play my clarinet."

137
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:44,540
Wow, that's hard to believe.
Yes.

138
00:06:44,540 --> 00:06:46,410
And for years,
everyone in my family

139
00:06:46,410 --> 00:06:49,480
was convinced that he was
the clarinet enthusiast.

140
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,230
Hmm. What's that
piece of tape?

141
00:06:53,230 --> 00:06:57,020
Oh, that one doesn't
apply to you. You sit.

142
00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:00,750
Hey.
Hey. How's it going?

143
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,890
Not too bad. Did you hear
about Howard and Bernadette?

144
00:07:02,890 --> 00:07:04,860
'Course I heard about it.
How did you hear about it?

145
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:06,690
I heard about it
from Sheldon.

146
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:08,750
He got it from Amy.
Oh, damn it.

147
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,700
I told Amy that in the
strictest confidence.

148
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:13,870
Boy, some people are
such blabbermouths.

149
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:15,290
Well, whatever.

150
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:16,670
I'm sure Bernadette
can do better.

151
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:20,240
Do you think a sexually ambivalent
Indian astrophysicist

152
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,930
with selective mutism
and alcohol issues is better than

153
00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:26,300
a hundred-pound Jewish guy
who lives with his mom?

154
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:28,850
You are kidding.
Raj likes Bernadette?

155
00:07:28,850 --> 00:07:32,440
I didn't say Raj.
Who said Raj?

156
00:07:32,850 --> 00:07:34,190
Okay, give.

157
00:07:34,190 --> 00:07:35,620
How do you know?
Did he tell you?

158
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:37,970
No.
Well, then who?

159
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:40,140
I can't say...

160
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:43,560
Priya told you.
What a little gossip.

161
00:07:43,570 --> 00:07:46,530
You know, not an attractive
quality in a woman, Leonard.

162
00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:50,270
Not judging,
just my opinion.

163
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:52,240
Well, The point is,
if this got out,

164
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440
it would destroy Howard
and Raj's friendship.

165
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,540
You don't have to worry.

166
00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:59,110
Unlike Amy and Priya,
I know how to keep a secret.

167
00:07:59,110 --> 00:08:02,050
You're the one who told Amy
in the first place.

168
00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:03,950
In confidence!

169
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:12,190
Hello, Mummy. Hello, Daddy.
How are you?

170
00:08:12,190 --> 00:08:14,430
We're very rich
in a very poor country.

171
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:17,000
So, all in all,
can't complain.

172
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,030
So, Priya,

173
00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:21,740
how are enjoying
staying with your brother?

174
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:24,000
It's fine. But if
I'm going to stay

175
00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:25,170
in Los Angeles much longer,

176
00:08:25,170 --> 00:08:26,570
I think I should
get my own place.

177
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:27,570
Why?

178
00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:29,840
Is Rajesh not making you
feel comfortable?

179
00:08:29,850 --> 00:08:32,650
Rajesh, why aren't you making
your sister comfortable?

180
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:35,220
I am making her comfortable.

181
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:36,450
Besides, she's not
sleeping here

182
00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:38,690
half the time anyw...

183
00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:41,290
What?

184
00:08:41,290 --> 00:08:42,890
Where are you
sleeping, Priya?

185
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:44,720
It's a figure of
speech, Daddy.

186
00:08:44,730 --> 00:08:48,330
It means I-I work late.

187
00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:50,400
Please tell me
you're not dating an American.

188
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,030
I knew this would happen.

189
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:53,700
Rajesh, are you
letting your sister

190
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,400
date that little Howard boy?

191
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,470
Now, hold on. If she
is dating an American,

192
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:00,470
that's not a bad way to go.

193
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,440
He's Jewish.

194
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,380
Those chaps are
very successful,

195
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:05,380
and they don't drink a lot.

196
00:09:05,380 --> 00:09:07,850
It-It doesn't matter.
Howard has a girlfriend.

197
00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:09,350
For now.
What does that mean?

198
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:10,550
I'll tell you later.

199
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:12,620
Is something going on
with him and Bernadette?

200
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:14,820
Who's Bernadette?
Doesn't sound Jewish.

201
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:16,790
You can't tell by that.

202
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:20,430
Winona Ryder is Jewish.

203
00:09:20,430 --> 00:09:22,460
Okay, we're getting
off the subject.

204
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:24,230
Rajesh, I want
you to try harder

205
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:25,800
to make your sister
feel welcome.

206
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,370
Thank you, Daddy.

207
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:29,070
Don't worry. Everything I have,
I share with her.

208
00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:30,900
Including my friend Leon...

209
00:09:30,910 --> 00:09:34,140
Good night, Mummy.
Good night, Daddy.

210
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:38,680
Oh, my God,
I think you broke my toe!

211
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,910
You should have kept
your mouth shut.

212
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,820
Fair enough.

213
00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:45,390
Now, what's up with Clarinet...?
Bernadette!

214
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,960
I've been thinking about
Dr. Greene's efforts

215
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,230
to make science palatable
for the masses.

216
00:09:55,230 --> 00:09:56,800
Oh, yeah? What about it?

217
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,970
That's all. I've just
been thinking about it.

218
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,270
Now, I'm thinking
about fractal equations.

219
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:07,540
Now I'm thinking about

220
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:10,610
the origin of the phrase
"train of thought."

221
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,380
Now I'm thinking about trains.

222
00:10:14,450 --> 00:10:17,020
Are you listening
to this guy?

223
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:18,850
Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry.

224
00:10:18,850 --> 00:10:20,150
I was somewhere else.

225
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,720
Lucky bastard.

226
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:27,630
Now I'm thinking about Jell-O.

227
00:10:27,630 --> 00:10:29,100
So what's up?

228
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:31,830
It's a Bernadette thing.

229
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:36,400
Oh, no. I hope
everything's okay.

230
00:10:37,710 --> 00:10:40,870
Whatever it is,
we're here for you.

231
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,960
You can tell us anything.

232
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Yeah. Good or
devastating.

233
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,920
I'm gonna ask her to marry me.

234
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,350
Marry you?
What?
Yeah.

235
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:54,920
I just need to figure out the
right time to pop the question.

236
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,830
Oh, I'd wait.
No rush, no rush.

237
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:02,310
Oh, great. It's my cousin David
about the ring.

238
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:04,500
Hey, David, what'd you find?

239
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:06,200
Sure, a half a caret's fine.

240
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,270
Her freakishly small hands
make anything look big.

241
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,510
It's one of the reasons
I love her.

242
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:19,450
Man, he's going
to be blindsided.

243
00:11:19,450 --> 00:11:23,820
I know. It'll be awful.

244
00:11:23,820 --> 00:11:26,220
Why are you smiling?

245
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,290
Yeah, Raj, why?

246
00:11:29,290 --> 00:11:33,090
Uh, a smile means something
different in my country.

247
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:38,030
You know, tears of joy,
smile of sadness.

248
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:40,330
India's a goofy place.

249
00:11:41,340 --> 00:11:44,910
Oh, I'm back to trains.

250
00:11:44,910 --> 00:11:47,640
Woo-woo.

251
00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:55,630
Did I tell you our lab got
a grant to study addiction?

252
00:11:55,630 --> 00:11:57,670
No.
Fascinating work.

253
00:11:57,670 --> 00:12:01,400
I recently trained a capuchin
monkey to smoke cigarettes.

254
00:12:01,410 --> 00:12:03,270
Have you learned anything?

255
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,740
Yes. He looks much cooler
than the non-smoking monkeys.

256
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:09,880
Although it's not
much of a contest.

257
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,520
The other monkeys just
sit around and masturbate.

258
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:21,560
If you don't mind, I'd like to stop
listening to you and start talking.

259
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,230
By all means.

260
00:12:23,230 --> 00:12:25,700
Howard has announced
his intention

261
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:27,860
to propose marriage
to Bernadette.

262
00:12:27,870 --> 00:12:29,400
I don't understand.

263
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,000
The original piece of gossip
indicated an impending breakup.

264
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,100
I know.

265
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:35,640
The group consensus
is that his proposal

266
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,510
will be met with an humiliating,
soul-crushing rejection.

267
00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:42,550
Everyone was set a-twitter.

268
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:46,280
Although oddly,
no one tweeted.

269
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,530
It's not surprising that
the story has captured

270
00:12:49,530 --> 00:12:51,460
the attention of our
little circle of friends.

271
00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:53,220
Are you familiar
with meme theory?

272
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,830
I'm familiar with
everything, but go on.

273
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:58,130
Meme theory suggests

274
00:12:58,130 --> 00:13:00,730
that items of gossip
are like living things

275
00:13:00,730 --> 00:13:03,530
that seek to reproduce
using humans as their host.

276
00:13:03,540 --> 00:13:06,770
I'm no stranger to
memetic epidemiology.

277
00:13:06,770 --> 00:13:08,640
At Johnson Elementary School,

278
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,440
the phrase "Shelly Cooper's
a smelly pooper" spread like wildfire.

279
00:13:13,450 --> 00:13:16,080
I should think so.

280
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,810
That's gold.

281
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:25,190
Your meme hypothesis
does intrigue me.

282
00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:27,260
How might we examine
this more closely?

283
00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:31,130
Do you have any ethical qualms
regarding human experimentation?

284
00:13:31,130 --> 00:13:36,100
It's one of the few forms of interaction
with people that I don't find repellent.

285
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,570
We need to fabricate a
tantalizing piece of gossip.

286
00:13:39,570 --> 00:13:43,970
And a second non-tantalizing
piece to use as a control.

287
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:45,840
Then we'll track its progress
through our social group

288
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,180
and interpret the results through
the competing academic prisms

289
00:13:48,180 --> 00:13:52,280
of memetic theory,
algebraic gossip and epidemiology.

290
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,620
Look at you, getting me to
engage in the social sciences.

291
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,690
You're a vixen,
Amy Farrah Fowler.

292
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:09,630
Oh, hey, Amy. What's up?

293
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,770
Sheldon and I engaged
in sexual intercourse.

294
00:14:11,770 --> 00:14:14,800
In other news, I'm thinking of starting
an herb garden. Mum's the word. Gotta go.

295
00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:23,180
Oh, hey, Raj, what
are you doing here?

296
00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:25,450
I just felt like drinking alone,

297
00:14:25,450 --> 00:14:28,050
because I'm deep and dark.

298
00:14:28,050 --> 00:14:29,750
Uh-huh.

299
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,250
So, uh, Howard's not here?

300
00:14:31,260 --> 00:14:34,090
No. It's just one of those
times when it's just you and me.

301
00:14:34,090 --> 00:14:36,190
Like when the three of us
went to the movies,

302
00:14:36,190 --> 00:14:37,930
and you and I waited outside
the bathroom

303
00:14:37,930 --> 00:14:40,730
while Howard threw up
Red Vines and Cherry Coke.

304
00:14:41,730 --> 00:14:43,300
Do you remember that?

305
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,400
Yeah.

306
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,640
Me, too.

307
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Good times.

308
00:14:47,410 --> 00:14:50,310
16 wants to order appetizers.

309
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:52,940
Oh, thanks.
This was nice.

310
00:14:57,210 --> 00:14:58,470
What the hell are you doing?

311
00:14:58,470 --> 00:15:00,750
Howard is your best friend,
and that is his girlfriend.

312
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:02,250
You should be
ashamed of yourself.

313
00:15:02,250 --> 00:15:03,720
I was when I came in,

314
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,220
but it's amazing what
liquor does to guilt.

315
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:08,530
Besides what you
might not know

316
00:15:08,530 --> 00:15:10,890
is Bernadette is planning on
breaking up with Howard.

317
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,500
Well, I know that. How do you know that?
My sister told me.

318
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,400
Oh, that gossipy bitch.

319
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,770
No offense.

320
00:15:18,770 --> 00:15:19,820
None taken.

321
00:15:19,820 --> 00:15:22,040
You should hear how
she talks about you.

322
00:15:23,410 --> 00:15:25,710
Okay, listen, just because Howard
and Bernadette are having problems,

323
00:15:25,710 --> 00:15:27,740
does not mean you should
be here sniffing around.

324
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:28,960
What can I do?

325
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,110
I can't stop
thinking about her.

326
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,330
All right, try
thinking about this—

327
00:15:34,340 --> 00:15:36,420
Sheldon and Amy had sex.

328
00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:39,560
Shut your ass!

329
00:15:43,660 --> 00:15:45,230
Yeah, it's true.
Amy told me.

330
00:15:45,230 --> 00:15:47,100
How did that even happen?

331
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,730
Did they know that's
what they were doing

332
00:15:48,730 --> 00:15:50,970
when they were doing it?

333
00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:53,370
I-I guess they just figured
it out at some point.

334
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:54,700
Wow.

335
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:58,480
I can't believe old
Smelly Pooper finally got laid.

336
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,410
Hey.
Hey.

337
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:04,350
Hope you're hungry.

338
00:16:04,350 --> 00:16:06,820
Interesting.

339
00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:09,090
A friendly sentiment
in this country,

340
00:16:09,090 --> 00:16:12,690
cruel taunt in the Sudan.

341
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,160
It's a lesson in context.

342
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,260
Will Amy be
joining us for dinner?

343
00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:19,800
Yes, I believe so.

344
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,260
Good, good.

345
00:16:21,270 --> 00:16:24,470
Everything...
okay between you two?

346
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:32,040
Yes.

347
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,480
Why do you ask?

348
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,610
No reason.

349
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:38,820
I was just talking to Raj,

350
00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:42,520
and he mentioned what a lovely
glow she has these days.

351
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,090
Did he mean
as if she'd been out in the sun,

352
00:16:47,090 --> 00:16:50,660
tending an herb garden without
wearing a hat or sunblock?

353
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:55,000
No.

354
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,200
That's not what he meant.

355
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,170
Well, we may never know.

356
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:02,310
As my mother would say,

357
00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:06,180
the Asians are
an inscrutable folk.

358
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,680
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

359
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,220
Yeah, you do.
You dog, you.

360
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:21,190
Did you get that?

361
00:17:21,190 --> 00:17:23,290
Every word.

362
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:26,460
Our false gossip meme appears
to have reached node lambda.

363
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:27,560
This is moving faster
than we thought.

364
00:17:27,570 --> 00:17:28,530
Agreed.

365
00:17:28,530 --> 00:17:29,630
It appears the rate

366
00:17:29,630 --> 00:17:30,800
of gossip transmission

367
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,870
is proportional
to the number of nodes squared.

368
00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:35,470
I must say, Amy,

369
00:17:35,470 --> 00:17:37,410
pretending
to have intercourse with you

370
00:17:37,410 --> 00:17:41,340
is giving me
a great deal of satisfaction.

371
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:44,380
Slow down, Sheldon.
I'm not quite there yet.

372
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,050
Pass the soy sauce.

373
00:17:49,050 --> 00:17:52,720
Bernadette just asked about
my sexual encounter with you.

374
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,260
The meme has reached
full penetration.

375
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,330
Pun intended?

376
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:03,470
No. Happy accident.

377
00:18:03,470 --> 00:18:06,270
This is remarkable.

378
00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:08,450
Took less than 24 hours.

379
00:18:08,460 --> 00:18:10,310
I should let you know

380
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:12,630
that she asked for details
about our dalliance.

381
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:14,280
Interesting.

382
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,910
So it went beyond the
mere fact of coitus

383
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,520
to a "blow by blow,"
as it were.

384
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,640
Pun intended?

385
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,960
I'm sorry. What pun?

386
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,430
Not important.

387
00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:33,100
I described your lovemaking
as "aloof, but effective."

388
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:36,800
I wish you hadn't done that.

389
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,570
That's going to make
me a chick magnet,

390
00:18:38,570 --> 00:18:42,270
and I'm so busy as it is.

391
00:18:42,270 --> 00:18:43,770
Hey, everybody,

392
00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:46,640
I got something I want
to ask Bernadette,

393
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:48,910
and I can't think
of a better time

394
00:18:48,910 --> 00:18:50,550
than when I'm
with all my friends.

395
00:18:50,550 --> 00:18:51,810
Oh, hold on, Howard.

396
00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:54,180
There's lots of better times.

397
00:18:55,290 --> 00:18:56,790
Leonard, please.
The man is talking.

398
00:18:56,790 --> 00:19:00,860
Let him get it out, and let
the chips fall where they may.

399
00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:03,960
Thank you.

400
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:08,130
Bernadette Maryann
Rostenkowski...

401
00:19:08,130 --> 00:19:10,170
Oh, God.
What's happening?

402
00:19:10,170 --> 00:19:13,970
I know things haven't
been perfect with us,

403
00:19:13,970 --> 00:19:15,410
and we've had our problems,

404
00:19:15,410 --> 00:19:17,710
but I just have to tell you,
from the moment I...

405
00:19:17,710 --> 00:19:20,280
Howard, let me just
stop you right here.

406
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,450
This is it.

407
00:19:23,310 --> 00:19:26,250
Yes.

408
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:28,250
Yes, what?

409
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,250
Yes, I will marry you.

410
00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:31,750
You will?
You will?

411
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,160
I will.

412
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:35,630
I will!

413
00:19:35,630 --> 00:19:37,260
Oh, I love you so much.

414
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:38,580
Oh, I love you, too.

415
00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:40,160
Congratulations!

416
00:19:40,530 --> 00:19:42,030
Oh, it's so exciting.

417
00:19:46,270 --> 00:19:48,710
I wonder what
changed her mind.

418
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:51,340
Perhaps your talk
of my sexual prowess

419
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:53,980
renewed her faith in love.

420
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:56,750
As good an explanation as any.

421
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,320
That's great...

422
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,300
Oh, hey, Amy.

423
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:06,300
Bernadette just texted me.

424
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:07,770
Howard proposed?

425
00:20:07,770 --> 00:20:09,370
Yes, not important.
Just stopped by

426
00:20:09,370 --> 00:20:10,990
to let you know I'm
getting orthotics.

427
00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:12,310
Also, I'm carrying
Sheldon's baby.

428
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:13,480
Mum's the word.

429
00:20:19,820 --> 00:20:22,890
You're pregnant?

430
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,000
Wow. Is there anything
on there about orthotics?
