1
00:00:00,495 --> 00:00:02,693
Look, I know you guys don't want
to do this,

2
00:00:02,695 --> 00:00:03,826
but we have no choice.

3
00:00:03,828 --> 00:00:05,194
So, you can either
bitch and whine

4
00:00:05,196 --> 00:00:06,693
or we can
just get it over with.

5
00:00:06,695 --> 00:00:07,577
I got "whine."

6
00:00:07,579 --> 00:00:09,244
I got the "b word."

7
00:00:09,246 --> 00:00:11,394
Yeah, well,
it's in our contract

8
00:00:11,396 --> 00:00:13,077
to serve on a
university committee.

9
00:00:13,079 --> 00:00:14,077
And frankly,

10
00:00:14,079 --> 00:00:15,327
this is one I believe in.

11
00:00:15,329 --> 00:00:16,661
Okay, here we go.

12
00:00:16,663 --> 00:00:19,560
Encouraging more women to
pursue a career in the sciences.

13
00:00:19,562 --> 00:00:20,993
Come on,
if I was any good

14
00:00:20,995 --> 00:00:22,393
at convincing women to do stuff,

15
00:00:22,395 --> 00:00:25,160
I wouldn't have spent so much of
my 20s in the shower.

16
00:00:26,777 --> 00:00:27,843
If you ask me,

17
00:00:27,845 --> 00:00:29,660
this whole thing is a waste of
our time.

18
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:30,910
Helping women?

19
00:00:30,912 --> 00:00:33,560
Yeah, helping anyone.

20
00:00:33,562 --> 00:00:35,943
People should take care
of themselves.

21
00:00:35,945 --> 00:00:37,494
Oh, like yesterday,

22
00:00:37,496 --> 00:00:39,693
when you made me drive you
to the dry cleaners,

23
00:00:39,695 --> 00:00:41,560
the pharmacy
and the post office?

24
00:00:41,562 --> 00:00:44,327
I'm not saying people
can't use tools.

25
00:00:45,928 --> 00:00:48,993
Even an otter picks up a rock
when he wants a clam.

26
00:00:50,411 --> 00:00:51,577
You don't think it's worthwhile

27
00:00:51,579 --> 00:00:53,660
to try to get more women
working in science.

28
00:00:53,662 --> 00:00:55,826
I think
that's incredibly sexist of you.

29
00:00:55,828 --> 00:00:58,160
I believe in a
gender-blind society

30
00:00:58,162 --> 00:01:01,160
like in Star Trek,
where women and men

31
00:01:01,162 --> 00:01:04,743
of all races and creeds
work side by side as equals.

32
00:01:04,745 --> 00:01:07,244
You mean
where they were advanced enough

33
00:01:07,246 --> 00:01:09,294
to invent
an interstellar warp drive,

34
00:01:09,296 --> 00:01:12,693
but a black lady still answered
the space phone?

35
00:01:13,694 --> 00:01:15,327
Oh, I did spend a lot of my

36
00:01:15,329 --> 00:01:17,277
shower time
with Lieutenant Uhura.

37
00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:22,060
Howard's
disturbing recollections aside,

38
00:01:22,062 --> 00:01:24,444
I don't appreciate
being forced to do

39
00:01:24,446 --> 00:01:25,577
banal committee work.

40
00:01:25,579 --> 00:01:27,494
Yes, I know,
you're too smart for this.

41
00:01:27,496 --> 00:01:28,477
Exactly.

42
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:29,943
It's like
asking the Human Torch

43
00:01:29,945 --> 00:01:32,660
to heat up your frozen burrito.

44
00:01:32,662 --> 00:01:33,743
Got it.

45
00:01:33,745 --> 00:01:35,743
All right,
I'm thinking one way

46
00:01:35,745 --> 00:01:37,660
to counter bias
in the peer-review process,

47
00:01:37,662 --> 00:01:40,110
is for papers to be submitted
under gender-neutral names.

48
00:01:40,112 --> 00:01:41,494
Like S. Smith

49
00:01:41,496 --> 00:01:42,743
instead of Samantha Smith.

50
00:01:42,745 --> 00:01:45,527
I suppose there is a history of
professional women

51
00:01:45,529 --> 00:01:48,194
using their initials,
so as not to be pre-judged.

52
00:01:48,196 --> 00:01:50,444
Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling,

53
00:01:50,446 --> 00:01:52,610
uh, Star Trek's D.C. Fontana.

54
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:55,660
Van Nuys pole-dancer
D.D. Melons.

55
00:01:57,994 --> 00:02:00,444
All right, I think we've
really helped women today.

56
00:02:00,446 --> 00:02:01,993
Let's fire
up the old Xbox.

57
00:02:01,995 --> 00:02:04,277
Guys, please don't make this
a school project

58
00:02:04,279 --> 00:02:06,110
where I'm the smart kid doing
all the work

59
00:02:06,112 --> 00:02:07,743
while the slackers
sit back and watch.

60
00:02:07,745 --> 00:02:08,993
No, we're not.

61
00:02:08,995 --> 00:02:10,344
This time you're the smart
kid doing all the work

62
00:02:10,346 --> 00:02:13,194
while the even smarter kids
sit back and watch.

63
00:02:14,111 --> 00:02:16,160
So, you think I'm
one of the smarter kids?

64
00:02:16,162 --> 00:02:18,660
No, you're a tool I was
using to make my point.

65
00:02:43,982 --> 00:02:48,777
== sync, corrected by elderman ==

66
00:02:51,343 --> 00:02:54,174
Guys, our topic is "Encouraging
Women in Science."

67
00:02:54,176 --> 00:02:56,590
Can you at least play
a less sexist game

68
00:03:00,691 --> 00:03:02,923
How is it sexist?

69
00:03:02,925 --> 00:03:06,840
My character wields a
battle axe as well as any man.

70
00:03:07,975 --> 00:03:09,890
Not to mention she
has mammary glands

71
00:03:09,892 --> 00:03:11,590
that could
nurse a family of 30.

72
00:03:12,891 --> 00:03:18,140
And have enough milk left over
to open a Baskin Robbins.

73
00:03:18,142 --> 00:03:21,974
Mother, warrior-princess,
franchise owner...

74
00:03:21,976 --> 00:03:25,341
I hear glass ceilings
shattering all over town.

75
00:03:25,343 --> 00:03:27,090
Sheldon,
you're always saying

76
00:03:27,092 --> 00:03:28,974
how much smarter
you are than me.

77
00:03:28,976 --> 00:03:30,840
Spend five seconds
and come up with one idea

78
00:03:30,842 --> 00:03:32,723
on how to get more women
into science.

79
00:03:34,474 --> 00:03:37,923
All your ideas address the issue
at a university level.

80
00:03:37,925 --> 00:03:38,974
By then it's too late.

81
00:03:38,976 --> 00:03:41,190
You need to
design an outreach program

82
00:03:41,192 --> 00:03:42,890
that targets girls
at the middle school level

83
00:03:42,892 --> 00:03:44,757
and sets them on an
academic track

84
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:46,224
towards the hard sciences.

85
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,957
That's actually good.

86
00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:50,341
Why didn't I
think of that?

87
00:03:50,343 --> 00:03:52,506
Some people are otters,
some people are rocks.

88
00:03:56,392 --> 00:03:57,890
I wonder if there's a way

89
00:03:57,892 --> 00:04:00,290
we could give the idea
a trial run.

90
00:04:00,292 --> 00:04:03,807
Maybe I could call my old
middle school,

91
00:04:03,809 --> 00:04:06,623
see if we can talk to some of
the female students.

92
00:04:06,625 --> 00:04:07,790
That's great...
try to set up something

93
00:04:07,792 --> 00:04:09,424
for the three of us
to go over there.

94
00:04:09,426 --> 00:04:10,640
Oh, hold on.

95
00:04:10,642 --> 00:04:12,440
While I'm comfortable speaking
about science,

96
00:04:12,442 --> 00:04:15,424
I'm not sure I know how to spark
the interest of schoolchildren.

97
00:04:15,426 --> 00:04:17,890
Better Google it.

98
00:04:17,892 --> 00:04:19,940
What exactly are you looking up?

99
00:04:19,942 --> 00:04:24,174
"How do I get
12-year-old girls excited."

100
00:04:24,176 --> 00:04:26,040
No!
No!

101
00:04:30,874 --> 00:04:33,556
Thanks again for letting
me crash "girls' night."

102
00:04:33,558 --> 00:04:34,590
Are you kidding?

103
00:04:34,592 --> 00:04:36,623
You brought fancy
wine and made fondue.

104
00:04:36,625 --> 00:04:39,007
I've slept
with guys for less.

105
00:04:43,841 --> 00:04:45,757
It's a joke.

106
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,956
Based on real events.

107
00:04:47,958 --> 00:04:51,224
Anyway,
I was hoping I could, uh,

108
00:04:51,226 --> 00:04:52,341
pick your brains a little.

109
00:04:52,343 --> 00:04:54,057
I'm supposed to take
Lucy out Friday

110
00:04:54,059 --> 00:04:55,840
and I need a killer first date.

111
00:04:55,842 --> 00:04:59,174
Well, evolutionary biology
says that women are attracted

112
00:04:59,176 --> 00:05:01,640
to a man who is steady
in the face of danger,

113
00:05:01,642 --> 00:05:04,257
so I recommend an
unsafe environment.

114
00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:09,224
Seedy bar on the wrong
side of the tracks...

115
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:12,623
picnic near
a lunatic asylum...

116
00:05:12,625 --> 00:05:15,723
a wine tasting on Skid Row.

117
00:05:16,808 --> 00:05:20,174
Eh, Lucy has some,
uh, social anxiety issues.

118
00:05:20,176 --> 00:05:22,007
Maybe we could start
with something simpler.

119
00:05:22,009 --> 00:05:24,423
Why don't you take
her to Disneyland?

120
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:25,890
You go on Space Mountain,

121
00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:27,773
you're in the dark,
she's holding onto you.

122
00:05:27,775 --> 00:05:28,890
Yeah, but you
just have to remember,

123
00:05:28,892 --> 00:05:30,341
that ride is
shorter than you think

124
00:05:30,343 --> 00:05:32,290
and they take a
picture of you at the end,

125
00:05:32,292 --> 00:05:34,423
so make sure
you got your clothes back on.

126
00:05:36,758 --> 00:05:39,640
It's a joke.

127
00:05:39,642 --> 00:05:41,590
Based on real events.

128
00:05:41,592 --> 00:05:42,623
Mm, Disneyland?

129
00:05:42,625 --> 00:05:44,007
I don't know.

130
00:05:44,009 --> 00:05:46,090
With all the crowds and the
weird characters walking around,

131
00:05:46,092 --> 00:05:48,090
just reminds me
too much of India.

132
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:51,923
I haven't been to Disneyland
since I was a kid.

133
00:05:51,925 --> 00:05:53,257
We should
definitely go one weekend.

134
00:05:53,259 --> 00:05:54,640
Weekends are too crowded.

135
00:05:54,642 --> 00:05:56,340
So, blow off work,
go on a weekday.

136
00:05:56,342 --> 00:05:57,974
Hooky?

137
00:05:57,976 --> 00:06:00,024
I've never
played hooky in my life.

138
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,907
My mom said
that's how girls end up

139
00:06:01,909 --> 00:06:04,506
addicted to
reefer and jazz music.

140
00:06:05,941 --> 00:06:08,790
It's more like how girls end up
at a Best Western hotel

141
00:06:08,792 --> 00:06:11,224
with a 34-year-old guy
named Luther.

142
00:06:13,341 --> 00:06:14,340
Joke?

143
00:06:14,342 --> 00:06:16,890
I can laugh about it now.

144
00:06:19,975 --> 00:06:21,174
So, what do you say?

145
00:06:21,176 --> 00:06:22,840
This Friday we ditch work
and go to Disneyland?

146
00:06:22,842 --> 00:06:23,873
I'm in.

147
00:06:23,875 --> 00:06:25,506
Me, too.

148
00:06:25,508 --> 00:06:26,673
Excuse me,

149
00:06:26,675 --> 00:06:29,257
I thought we were trying to
solve my problem?

150
00:06:29,259 --> 00:06:30,807
Oh, yeah, right.

151
00:06:30,809 --> 00:06:32,090
Wait, what was your problem
again?

152
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:35,456
I am a man
who can't talk to women,

153
00:06:35,458 --> 00:06:37,807
trying to figure out how to go
on a romantic date

154
00:06:37,809 --> 00:06:39,840
with a girl who suffers
from such crippling

155
00:06:39,842 --> 00:06:43,057
social anxiety she can't be
around other people.

156
00:06:43,059 --> 00:06:45,707
Yeah, that's a toughie.

157
00:06:46,908 --> 00:06:49,040
Let's think.

158
00:06:49,042 --> 00:06:50,207
Hmm.

159
00:06:55,407 --> 00:06:59,840
We doing just Disney
or California Adventure, too?

160
00:07:00,975 --> 00:07:02,974
It's nice
of your old school

161
00:07:02,976 --> 00:07:06,007
to let us try out our science
talk on some female students.

162
00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:07,224
Well, they're
actually pretty excited.

163
00:07:07,226 --> 00:07:09,406
I'm their
most famous alum.

164
00:07:09,408 --> 00:07:10,740
If you don't
count the serial killer

165
00:07:10,742 --> 00:07:12,456
who ate all
those prostitutes.

166
00:07:14,591 --> 00:07:16,007
This must feel
pretty good for you,

167
00:07:16,009 --> 00:07:18,390
coming back to your
alma mater as an astronaut.

168
00:07:18,392 --> 00:07:23,256
Yeah, last time I was here, I
was just a scrawny little nerd.

169
00:07:23,258 --> 00:07:26,956
And now
you're also an astronaut.

170
00:07:26,958 --> 00:07:28,140
So many memories.

171
00:07:28,142 --> 00:07:30,590
I mean, how many
times in these hallways

172
00:07:30,592 --> 00:07:34,640
was I tripped,
punched and spit on?

173
00:07:34,642 --> 00:07:36,790
Oh, look,
here's my old locker.

174
00:07:36,792 --> 00:07:39,440
I have a
masters in engineering

175
00:07:39,442 --> 00:07:42,974
and I still can't figure out
how Scott Kapinski

176
00:07:42,976 --> 00:07:45,140
got me and my briefcase
to fit in there.

177
00:07:48,841 --> 00:07:50,057
Hey.

178
00:07:50,059 --> 00:07:52,123
What?

179
00:07:52,125 --> 00:07:53,757
Nothing.

180
00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:58,423
Smart. We don't
want any problems.

181
00:08:00,641 --> 00:08:02,923
I can't believe I ditched work
for Disneyland.

182
00:08:02,925 --> 00:08:04,673
What did you
tell your boss?

183
00:08:04,675 --> 00:08:07,090
Oh, I was very clever,
I did it in stages.

184
00:08:07,092 --> 00:08:08,723
At 7:00 last night,

185
00:08:08,725 --> 00:08:10,473
I called about
a problem at the lab

186
00:08:10,475 --> 00:08:12,890
and casually mentioned
I was going out for seafood.

187
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:14,340
At 9:30,

188
00:08:14,342 --> 00:08:17,923
I called and told him that
one of my scallops tasted weird.

189
00:08:17,925 --> 00:08:19,640
At 11:30, I called and said

190
00:08:19,642 --> 00:08:21,590
I was
throwing up like a fire hose.

191
00:08:23,257 --> 00:08:27,456
At 12:45, I called and made
nothing but dry heaving sounds,

192
00:08:27,458 --> 00:08:29,757
and now I'm
going to Disneyland.

193
00:08:31,424 --> 00:08:33,340
Penny, what did you say?

194
00:08:33,342 --> 00:08:34,640
I work at the
Cheesecake Factory,

195
00:08:34,642 --> 00:08:36,423
I said "bye."

196
00:08:37,891 --> 00:08:39,923
So, what are we
gonna do first?

197
00:08:39,925 --> 00:08:41,140
I don't know
about you guys,

198
00:08:41,142 --> 00:08:42,423
but I'm gonna make
a beeline for the place

199
00:08:42,425 --> 00:08:43,807
that gives you
a princess makeover.

200
00:08:43,809 --> 00:08:45,423
Ooh, that sounds like fun.

201
00:08:45,425 --> 00:08:46,923
You're
kidding, right?

202
00:08:46,925 --> 00:08:49,506
We're not just gonna get drunk
and go on rides?

203
00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:52,556
Come on, do it with us.

204
00:08:52,558 --> 00:08:54,340
All right, whatever.

205
00:08:54,342 --> 00:08:55,556
How does it work?

206
00:08:55,558 --> 00:08:56,790
Okay, so,
you pick your princess...

207
00:08:56,792 --> 00:08:58,840
Sleeping Beauty, Snow White
Cinderella...

208
00:08:58,842 --> 00:09:01,173
they give you
hair, makeup, the works.

209
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:04,456
Guess it would be fun
to be Cinderella.

210
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:06,007
Oh, I want to be Cinderella, too.
Yeah.

211
00:09:07,175 --> 00:09:09,223
We can't all be Cinderella.

212
00:09:12,257 --> 00:09:13,556
Then how do we decide?

213
00:09:13,558 --> 00:09:14,673
Well, it's simple.

214
00:09:14,675 --> 00:09:15,956
This was my idea.

215
00:09:15,958 --> 00:09:16,974
I'm driving.

216
00:09:16,976 --> 00:09:17,890
I'm Cinderella.

217
00:09:17,892 --> 00:09:19,456
You bitches
got a problem with that,

218
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,473
we could stop the car right now.

219
00:09:33,957 --> 00:09:37,790
Excuse me,
I'm meeting a girl here.

220
00:09:37,792 --> 00:09:39,090
It's kind of our first date.

221
00:09:39,092 --> 00:09:41,640
In a library?

222
00:09:41,642 --> 00:09:44,623
She and I
are both a little awkward

223
00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:47,840
in social situations,
so this seemed like a good idea.

224
00:09:47,842 --> 00:09:52,890
People say
I'm a little awkward, too.

225
00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:54,773
May I join you?

226
00:09:54,775 --> 00:09:57,840
No, you can't join us.

227
00:09:57,842 --> 00:09:59,640
Just go-go climb back up

228
00:09:59,642 --> 00:10:02,089
whatever beanstalk you came
down from.

229
00:10:07,474 --> 00:10:09,306
You can do better.

230
00:10:14,041 --> 00:10:16,089
Oh, we're eating here?

231
00:10:22,224 --> 00:10:24,139
We're having
a texting date?

232
00:10:28,557 --> 00:10:29,974
I love that.

233
00:10:33,123 --> 00:10:36,289
As you're reading,
it will help to remember

234
00:10:36,291 --> 00:10:40,340
I have an adorable accent.

235
00:10:42,674 --> 00:10:47,640
Okay,
who's ready for some science?

236
00:10:51,123 --> 00:10:53,289
Me, too.

237
00:10:53,291 --> 00:10:55,423
Okay, I am
Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.

238
00:10:55,425 --> 00:10:57,173
I am here with my friends
Dr. Cooper

239
00:10:57,175 --> 00:11:00,556
and real-life astronaut
Howard Wolowitz,

240
00:11:00,558 --> 00:11:02,173
and we are going
to show you girls

241
00:11:02,175 --> 00:11:05,923
how cool a job
in science can be.

242
00:11:05,925 --> 00:11:07,139
How cool, you ask?

243
00:11:07,141 --> 00:11:10,173
Well, how about
negative 273 degrees,

244
00:11:10,175 --> 00:11:11,256
'cause that's the temperature

245
00:11:11,258 --> 00:11:14,940
at which entropy reaches
its minimum value.

246
00:11:16,958 --> 00:11:19,840
Did I just learn something new
and have fun doing it?

247
00:11:19,842 --> 00:11:22,139
What?

248
00:11:24,474 --> 00:11:27,073
All right!

249
00:11:27,075 --> 00:11:29,056
So now let's bring out

250
00:11:29,058 --> 00:11:30,956
theoretical physicist

251
00:11:30,958 --> 00:11:34,340
Dr. Sheldon Cooper.

252
00:11:38,758 --> 00:11:40,923
Hello, female children.

253
00:11:41,791 --> 00:11:44,857
Allow me to inspire you

254
00:11:44,859 --> 00:11:48,523
with a story
about a great female scientist.

255
00:11:48,525 --> 00:11:53,473
Polish-born, French-educated
Madame Curie.

256
00:11:53,475 --> 00:11:55,340
Codiscoverer of
radioactivity,

257
00:11:55,342 --> 00:11:57,306
she was a hero

258
00:11:57,308 --> 00:12:01,139
of science...
until her hair fell out;

259
00:12:01,141 --> 00:12:04,556
her vomit and stool became
filled with blood...

260
00:12:04,558 --> 00:12:06,189
and she was poisoned

261
00:12:06,191 --> 00:12:09,056
to death by her own discovery.

262
00:12:10,424 --> 00:12:11,973
With a little hard work,

263
00:12:11,975 --> 00:12:15,923
I see no reason why
that can't happen to any of you.

264
00:12:19,140 --> 00:12:20,590
Are we done?

265
00:12:20,592 --> 00:12:22,740
Can we go?

266
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,477
The thing to remember is

267
00:12:32,479 --> 00:12:34,694
you can go to outer space, too.

268
00:12:34,696 --> 00:12:36,561
I mean, look at me.

269
00:12:36,563 --> 00:12:38,927
I went to this very school.

270
00:12:38,929 --> 00:12:41,644
Those desks you're sitting in,

271
00:12:41,646 --> 00:12:44,143
I was once superglued
to one of them.

272
00:12:46,927 --> 00:12:48,027
Did you go to the moon?

273
00:12:48,029 --> 00:12:50,110
No, but I did go

274
00:12:50,112 --> 00:12:53,227
to the
International Space Station.

275
00:12:53,229 --> 00:12:54,093
Did you fly the rocket?

276
00:12:54,095 --> 00:12:55,677
No,

277
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,427
but I was in the rocket.

278
00:12:58,429 --> 00:13:00,093
I didn't actually...

279
00:13:00,095 --> 00:13:02,194
So you just flew around?
That's kind of like my uncle.

280
00:13:02,196 --> 00:13:03,594
He's a flight attendant.

281
00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:09,194
No...

282
00:13:09,196 --> 00:13:10,611
I'm an American hero.

283
00:13:10,613 --> 00:13:12,594
Your uncle
brings people nuts, okay?

284
00:13:12,596 --> 00:13:15,893
Boy, we are learning
a lot here, huh?

285
00:13:15,895 --> 00:13:18,110
Thank you, astronaut Howard.

286
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,110
Um, I am what's called
an experimental physicist,

287
00:13:22,112 --> 00:13:26,027
which is super-fun,
because I get to test theories

288
00:13:26,029 --> 00:13:27,360
and work with lasers.

289
00:13:27,362 --> 00:13:28,661
Yes?

290
00:13:28,663 --> 00:13:30,777
How did you decide
to become a scientist?

291
00:13:30,779 --> 00:13:32,227
Uh, excellent question.

292
00:13:32,229 --> 00:13:36,093
Um, I suppose I've always been
into science, you know...

293
00:13:36,095 --> 00:13:37,926
My mother and father
are scientists,

294
00:13:37,928 --> 00:13:39,926
so I was kind of led
in that direction.

295
00:13:39,928 --> 00:13:42,727
Eh, pushed might be
a better way to describe it.

296
00:13:42,729 --> 00:13:44,477
To be honest
with you guys,

297
00:13:44,479 --> 00:13:45,777
when I was your age,

298
00:13:45,779 --> 00:13:47,644
I wanted to be a rap star.

299
00:13:48,861 --> 00:13:50,060
Like Snoop Dogg,

300
00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:52,260
but with a healthy respect
for the police.

301
00:13:54,361 --> 00:13:56,110
Yeah, no, sure, you laugh.

302
00:13:56,112 --> 00:13:58,644
Just like my mother did.

303
00:13:59,445 --> 00:14:01,926
After I confided,
I was derided

304
00:14:01,928 --> 00:14:03,511
and chided,
my moms and I collided.

305
00:14:03,513 --> 00:14:05,760
She said my dreams
were misguided.

306
00:14:11,061 --> 00:14:14,260
That's just a little freestyle.

307
00:14:16,894 --> 00:14:19,694
My dad's a gynecologist
in India,

308
00:14:19,696 --> 00:14:22,260
so if you're over there
and need a check up,

309
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:25,760
as he likes to say,
he's "at your cervix."

310
00:14:30,528 --> 00:14:32,644
That's terrible.

311
00:14:32,646 --> 00:14:35,410
Your dad should be sent
to the pun-itentiary.

312
00:14:39,944 --> 00:14:41,977
That's a fitting

313
00:14:41,979 --> 00:14:43,477
pun-ishment.

314
00:14:48,361 --> 00:14:50,727
I still don't know
what you do for a living.

315
00:14:52,428 --> 00:14:55,027
Web design.

316
00:14:57,595 --> 00:14:59,877
Anything I might have seen?

317
00:15:01,311 --> 00:15:03,394
I don't know.

318
00:15:03,396 --> 00:15:05,494
You ever look
at porn Web sites?

319
00:15:16,245 --> 00:15:18,277
No, never.

320
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,527
What is porn?

321
00:15:23,395 --> 00:15:25,511
Sorry. Autocorrect.

322
00:15:25,513 --> 00:15:27,527
That was supposed to say

323
00:15:27,529 --> 00:15:29,759
"prom Web sites."

324
00:15:33,445 --> 00:15:36,826
Ooh, fun. I love prom.

325
00:15:36,828 --> 00:15:38,294
The romance, the gowns,

326
00:15:38,296 --> 00:15:40,860
it's like a fairy tale come
to life.

327
00:15:49,028 --> 00:15:50,460
Sorry. Autocorrect.

328
00:15:50,462 --> 00:15:51,694
That was supposed to say,

329
00:15:51,696 --> 00:15:54,060
"I like sports."

330
00:15:56,944 --> 00:16:00,377
I never wanted to play
the cello.

331
00:16:01,612 --> 00:16:03,977
How do you meet girls
playing the cello?

332
00:16:03,979 --> 00:16:05,810
"Hey, you want
to come over to my house

333
00:16:05,812 --> 00:16:07,294
"and listen to me play
an instrument

334
00:16:07,296 --> 00:16:09,527
that sounds like
a suicidal bumblebee?"

335
00:16:10,695 --> 00:16:12,561
Quick,
pull the fire alarm.

336
00:16:12,563 --> 00:16:14,776
Let's get out of here.

337
00:16:14,778 --> 00:16:16,360
Uh, hello again.

338
00:16:16,362 --> 00:16:20,227
Um, yeah, I don't know
if women in general

339
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:23,810
have been actively discouraged
from pursuing the sciences,

340
00:16:23,812 --> 00:16:28,759
but it's clear you young women
here, today, have been.

341
00:16:32,861 --> 00:16:36,110
While I was listening to
my colleagues waste your time,

342
00:16:36,112 --> 00:16:39,594
it occurred to me that it
might be much more meaningful

343
00:16:39,596 --> 00:16:41,893
to hear about women in science

344
00:16:41,895 --> 00:16:44,444
from actual women in science,

345
00:16:44,446 --> 00:16:47,444
and, uh, I happen to know
two brilliant examples

346
00:16:47,446 --> 00:16:50,726
who have agreed to speak
to you on the phone right now.

347
00:16:50,728 --> 00:16:54,227
Uh, Dr. Rostenkowski,
Dr. Fowler, are you there?

348
00:16:54,229 --> 00:16:56,360
We're here.

349
00:16:56,362 --> 00:16:58,977
Thank you for taking time
out of your very busy schedule

350
00:16:58,979 --> 00:17:01,893
to enlighten these young women.

351
00:17:01,895 --> 00:17:04,594
It's our pleasure.

352
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:10,561
I'm Dr. Fowler, and
I'm a neuroscientist.

353
00:17:10,563 --> 00:17:12,759
And I'm
Dr. Rostenkowski Wolowitz,

354
00:17:12,761 --> 00:17:14,360
and I'm a microbiologist.

355
00:17:14,362 --> 00:17:16,943
The world of science
needs more women,

356
00:17:16,945 --> 00:17:20,227
but from a young age, we
girls are encouraged to care

357
00:17:20,229 --> 00:17:21,860
more about the way we look

358
00:17:21,862 --> 00:17:25,194
than about the
power of our minds.

359
00:17:26,794 --> 00:17:28,427
That's true.

360
00:17:28,429 --> 00:17:30,310
Every one of you has
the capacity

361
00:17:30,312 --> 00:17:32,143
to be anything you want to be.

362
00:17:32,145 --> 00:17:35,594
Unless you want
to be Cinderella.

363
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:37,143
Come at me.

364
00:17:37,145 --> 00:17:38,643
See what happens.

365
00:17:41,711 --> 00:17:44,093
This was really fun.

366
00:17:45,927 --> 00:17:49,726
My battery's dying,
so I'm just gonna talk.

367
00:17:49,728 --> 00:17:51,977
Thanks for today.

368
00:17:51,979 --> 00:17:54,594
I've been trying to do
more things that scare me,

369
00:17:54,596 --> 00:17:57,594
and coming here
was definitely one of them.

370
00:17:58,395 --> 00:18:00,027
But it was also really nice.

371
00:18:00,029 --> 00:18:03,027
So thanks, and, um,

372
00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:04,561
I'm gonna go.

373
00:18:08,611 --> 00:18:11,860
Maybe I could do
one more scary thing

374
00:18:11,862 --> 00:18:15,260
before I go
and give you a kiss good-bye?

375
00:18:15,262 --> 00:18:16,776
You know,

376
00:18:16,778 --> 00:18:18,860
if that's okay.

377
00:18:22,061 --> 00:18:24,860
Okay.

378
00:18:26,395 --> 00:18:28,577
Panic attack!
Maybe next time.

379
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,926
I'm counting that as foreplay.

380
00:18:44,194 --> 00:18:45,433
Bernie,

381
00:18:45,434 --> 00:18:47,581
I'm home.

382
00:18:47,583 --> 00:18:49,432
You have fun today?

383
00:18:49,434 --> 00:18:52,682
Yes, and I have a
surprise for you.

384
00:18:52,684 --> 00:18:56,315
Please be Cinderella.
Please be Cinderella.

385
00:18:56,317 --> 00:18:59,798
Well, hello, Prince Charming.

386
00:19:03,383 --> 00:19:05,915
Milady.

387
00:19:17,633 --> 00:19:20,715
Hey, how was your... what?

388
00:19:20,717 --> 00:19:22,299
I can explain.

389
00:19:22,301 --> 00:19:23,882
I played hooky with the girls,

390
00:19:23,884 --> 00:19:26,099
then we all went to Disneyland
and got...

391
00:19:26,101 --> 00:19:27,349
What are you doing?

392
00:19:27,351 --> 00:19:30,466
Disneyland. Go on,
I'm listening.

393
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:38,515
Sheldon, all Snow White needs
is one little kiss to wake up.

394
00:19:38,517 --> 00:19:41,192
Heard you the first time.

395
00:19:41,292 --> 00:19:46,287
