1
00:00:01,450 --> 00:00:03,781
to create some sort
of chicken dinosaur?

2
00:00:03,783 --> 00:00:06,781
Oh, I think that
sounds wonderful.

3
00:00:08,117 --> 00:00:11,781
What? You're afraid
of both dinosaurs and chickens.

4
00:00:11,783 --> 00:00:12,782
Yes, but tell me

5
00:00:12,783 --> 00:00:14,981
a dinosaur
chicken salad sandwich

6
00:00:14,983 --> 00:00:16,682
wouldn't hit the Mesozoic spot.

7
00:00:20,117 --> 00:00:21,382
Hey, guys.
Hey. Hello.

8
00:00:21,384 --> 00:00:22,915
We still on for
tomorrow night?

9
00:00:22,917 --> 00:00:24,981
Yeah. I'm excited
to finally meet your girlfriend.

10
00:00:24,983 --> 00:00:27,115
Yeah, oh, and
speaking of which.

11
00:00:27,117 --> 00:00:29,881
According to a recent study
out of Oxford University,

12
00:00:29,883 --> 00:00:31,148
when someone takes on

13
00:00:31,150 --> 00:00:32,981
a new romantic
partner,

14
00:00:32,983 --> 00:00:35,848
that person loses one
or two close friends.

15
00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:38,615
Since when do you read
social science?

16
00:00:38,617 --> 00:00:41,582
I go to the bathroom
like everybody else.

17
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:42,948
Why would I lose friends

18
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:44,848
just because I
started dating someone?

19
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:46,881
Yeah, you didn't lose anyone
when you met Amy.

20
00:00:46,883 --> 00:00:50,081
Yeah, well, no, the study
refers to romantic partners.

21
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:53,315
Not the way I would
categorize the two of us.

22
00:00:53,317 --> 00:00:54,915
You guys kiss and hold hands.

23
00:00:54,917 --> 00:00:57,348
I've seen him do it.
It's not romantic.

24
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:59,548
Look, I'm not the kind of guy

25
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:02,348
who drops his friends just
because he's in a relationship.

26
00:01:02,350 --> 00:01:04,015
What happens
if she doesn't like us?

27
00:01:04,017 --> 00:01:05,382
Well, hey,
you're my dear friends.

28
00:01:05,384 --> 00:01:07,748
You'll get a Christmas card
for a couple of years,

29
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:09,315
and then you're dead to me.

30
00:01:34,425 --> 00:01:40,419
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man

31
00:01:40,420 --> 00:01:43,684
So, Howard, is Stuart still
living with your mom?

32
00:01:43,686 --> 00:01:45,484
I don't want
to talk about it.

33
00:01:45,486 --> 00:01:47,884
But he's going to.
My mom got him cable!

34
00:01:47,886 --> 00:01:50,017
In my whole life,

35
00:01:50,019 --> 00:01:51,784
growing up
in that house... no cable.

36
00:01:51,786 --> 00:01:53,218
Do you know how many HBOs

37
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:55,218
that leech had my mother
get him? Seven.

38
00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:57,551
Seven HBOs. Seven!

39
00:01:57,553 --> 00:02:01,294
Long story short,
they have seven HBOs.

40
00:02:01,296 --> 00:02:02,594
Hey, guys.

41
00:02:02,596 --> 00:02:04,494
Hey.
Hello. Hey.

42
00:02:04,496 --> 00:02:06,527
Emily, you know almost everybody here.
Hi.

43
00:02:06,529 --> 00:02:08,327
This is Leonard,
this is Penny.

44
00:02:08,329 --> 00:02:09,660
Oh, it's so nice
to meet you.

45
00:02:09,662 --> 00:02:11,394
Nice to finally meet you, too.
Hi.

46
00:02:11,396 --> 00:02:12,527
Hello.

47
00:02:12,529 --> 00:02:14,993
Well, Raj,
you were not lying about her.

48
00:02:14,995 --> 00:02:17,793
I told you
she exists.

49
00:02:17,795 --> 00:02:19,826
Hey, I hear you're
a dermatologist.

50
00:02:19,828 --> 00:02:22,826
Uh, yeah, I'm a resident
at Huntington Hospital.

51
00:02:22,828 --> 00:02:25,360
Oh, I like their
emergency room.

52
00:02:25,362 --> 00:02:28,227
Yeah, even if it turns out
you don't have Dengue fever,

53
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:30,626
they still let you
take a lollipop.

54
00:02:31,695 --> 00:02:33,360
You know, Penny
just started training

55
00:02:33,362 --> 00:02:35,093
to be a pharmaceutical
sales rep.

56
00:02:35,095 --> 00:02:37,260
Maybe she can practice
on you some time.

57
00:02:37,262 --> 00:02:39,960
Oh, it would be great
to practice on a real doctor.

58
00:02:39,962 --> 00:02:42,127
Yeah. I'm sure that'd be fine.

59
00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:45,826
I have some odd
freckles on my buttocks.

60
00:02:47,628 --> 00:02:51,294
Can I make an appointment
for you to look at them?

61
00:02:51,296 --> 00:02:53,760
Um... okay, I guess.

62
00:02:53,762 --> 00:02:56,593
I'm with him three
years, nothing.

63
00:02:56,595 --> 00:02:59,993
She's with two minutes, and
he's taking his pants off.

64
00:03:04,462 --> 00:03:07,060
Last night was fun.
What did you think of Emily?

65
00:03:07,062 --> 00:03:08,394
I don't know.

66
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:10,561
I kind of got the sense
she didn't like me.

67
00:03:10,563 --> 00:03:12,327
Did she say she didn't like you?

68
00:03:12,329 --> 00:03:13,460
Of course not. No one ever says

69
00:03:13,462 --> 00:03:14,993
they don't like you
straight to your face.

70
00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:18,860
We have led different lives.

71
00:03:20,262 --> 00:03:23,093
You guys just met.
Why would she feel that way?

72
00:03:23,095 --> 00:03:24,560
It's just this
vibe I got.

73
00:03:24,562 --> 00:03:26,541
I'm sure you're worried
about nothing.

74
00:03:26,542 --> 00:03:27,960
Yeah.
You're probably right.

75
00:03:27,962 --> 00:03:29,327
I used to think
my high school P.E. teacher

76
00:03:29,329 --> 00:03:30,560
didn't like me,
but it turned out,

77
00:03:30,562 --> 00:03:32,726
she liked me a little too much.

78
00:03:32,728 --> 00:03:33,993
Really?
Yeah.

79
00:03:33,995 --> 00:03:35,227
It was fine.

80
00:03:35,229 --> 00:03:37,093
We went to a Melissa Etheridge
concert, I got an A,

81
00:03:37,095 --> 00:03:38,760
it all worked out.

82
00:03:38,762 --> 00:03:42,093
When you go to Emily's office to
practice, you'll see. It's fine.

83
00:03:42,095 --> 00:03:43,793
Yeah, I hope you're right.

84
00:03:43,795 --> 00:03:45,760
You really went your entire life

85
00:03:45,762 --> 00:03:49,394
without anyone saying
"I hate you" to your face?

86
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:50,960
Yeah.

87
00:03:50,962 --> 00:03:54,960
I'd say it now,
but look at those cheekbones.

88
00:04:01,695 --> 00:04:03,693
I miss
Stuart's place.

89
00:04:03,695 --> 00:04:07,360
All this loud music
and exposed brick.

90
00:04:07,362 --> 00:04:09,626
What, is this
a comic book store,

91
00:04:09,628 --> 00:04:13,127
or a rave at the third
little pig's house?

92
00:04:14,196 --> 00:04:16,394
Yup, I wish
Stuart would reopen.

93
00:04:16,396 --> 00:04:18,394
I hate this place, too.

94
00:04:18,396 --> 00:04:20,194
Okay, him I believe

95
00:04:20,196 --> 00:04:23,360
because he's an 80-year-old man
in a 15-year-old's T-shirt.

96
00:04:23,362 --> 00:04:25,127
But you're just upset

97
00:04:25,129 --> 00:04:28,526
about Stuart and your mom
and all their HBOs.

98
00:04:28,528 --> 00:04:32,027
Yes, I am. You know, I can't
even watch Game of Thrones now

99
00:04:32,029 --> 00:04:33,693
without thinking
of mother saying,

100
00:04:33,695 --> 00:04:36,860
"Stuart, which one is Thrones?"

101
00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:39,693
You know, he might not reopen.

102
00:04:39,695 --> 00:04:42,526
He didn't get a lot of money
from the insurance company.

103
00:04:42,528 --> 00:04:45,184
Oh, boy, if there is one thing
that gets my goat,

104
00:04:45,186 --> 00:04:48,483
those dad-gum
insurance companies.

105
00:04:48,485 --> 00:04:51,084
Why? Because they won't
get off your lawn?

106
00:04:54,286 --> 00:04:59,017
Oh, is Stuart trying to get a
loan, or-or find investors?

107
00:04:59,019 --> 00:05:01,050
All I know is,
he's got my mother

108
00:05:01,052 --> 00:05:04,117
buying four-ply toilet paper.
I mean, four-ply.

109
00:05:05,152 --> 00:05:06,550
If his butt is so delicate,

110
00:05:06,552 --> 00:05:08,917
why doesn't he just use
an angora rabbit?

111
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:12,983
For starters,
they shed and bite.

112
00:05:13,785 --> 00:05:15,616
Hey,

113
00:05:15,618 --> 00:05:17,084
here's a thought.

114
00:05:17,086 --> 00:05:19,583
Why don't we put up the rest
of the money that Stuart needs?

115
00:05:20,652 --> 00:05:24,217
So, we'd be, like, owners
of a comic book store?

116
00:05:25,785 --> 00:05:27,616
It's kind of a
dream come true.

117
00:05:27,618 --> 00:05:29,117
That does sound fun.

118
00:05:29,119 --> 00:05:30,650
Ooh, maybe we could come up

119
00:05:30,652 --> 00:05:33,150
with a business plan
to compete with this place.

120
00:05:33,152 --> 00:05:35,017
I'll give you a plan right now.

121
00:05:35,019 --> 00:05:37,516
Step one:
open comic book store.

122
00:05:37,518 --> 00:05:38,983
Step two: start rumor

123
00:05:38,985 --> 00:05:42,284
this comic book store
gives you genital warts.

124
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:48,084
Step three: buy a big bag
to put the money in.

125
00:05:50,252 --> 00:05:52,450
It's not that bad.

126
00:05:56,518 --> 00:05:59,817
Hey.
Hi.

127
00:05:59,819 --> 00:06:02,688
Thank you so much for letting me
practice my sales pitch on you.

128
00:06:02,689 --> 00:06:03,688
I really appreciate it.

129
00:06:03,696 --> 00:06:04,508
Sure.

130
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:05,659
Um, I brought coffee.

131
00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:07,192
I wasn't sure what you like,
so I got

132
00:06:07,194 --> 00:06:09,425
a regular, a cappuccino
and a Chai tea.

133
00:06:09,427 --> 00:06:12,558
Since you like Raj, I thought
you might be into that.

134
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,858
Thanks. If we could get started.
I'm a little busy.

135
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:18,625
Oh, yeah, sure. Let me
just get out my materials.

136
00:06:18,627 --> 00:06:20,125
Leonard gave me this briefcase.

137
00:06:20,127 --> 00:06:21,792
He used to carry it
around in high school.

138
00:06:21,794 --> 00:06:25,125
You can still see the dent
where they whacked him with it.

139
00:06:27,294 --> 00:06:29,391
Okay, I would like
to talk to you

140
00:06:29,393 --> 00:06:31,658
about our new
birth control pill, Femevra.

141
00:06:31,660 --> 00:06:32,992
Great.

142
00:06:32,994 --> 00:06:35,025
So, Femevra's
triphasic design

143
00:06:35,027 --> 00:06:37,159
provides balanced
hormonal exposure.

144
00:06:37,161 --> 00:06:38,992
All right.

145
00:06:38,994 --> 00:06:41,758
It has also been shown to cause

146
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,792
significantly fewer side effects
than other oral contraceptives.

147
00:06:44,794 --> 00:06:47,658
Although it can cause acne,
which, if you ask me, kind of

148
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:50,425
increases its effectiveness
as a contraceptive.

149
00:06:54,328 --> 00:06:55,992
Funny.

150
00:06:57,493 --> 00:07:00,292
Okay, I'm sorry. Did we get off
on the wrong foot?

151
00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:02,159
Because since the other
night, I kind of feel like

152
00:07:02,161 --> 00:07:03,692
you might have a problem
with me.

153
00:07:03,694 --> 00:07:05,059
No, it's fine.

154
00:07:05,061 --> 00:07:07,625
Are you sure,
because it doesn't seem fine?

155
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:09,858
Okay.

156
00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:11,658
If you really want
to talk about this,

157
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:12,959
I do have a problem.

158
00:07:12,961 --> 00:07:15,225
Oh, my God.
Tell me... what did I do?

159
00:07:15,227 --> 00:07:16,591
Look, it's nothing. It's just...

160
00:07:16,593 --> 00:07:19,225
Raj told me that a while ago,
you two hooked up.

161
00:07:19,227 --> 00:07:23,491
What? Oh, why
would he say that?

162
00:07:23,493 --> 00:07:24,992
Did it not happen?

163
00:07:24,994 --> 00:07:27,758
Well, I wouldn't exactly
call it a hook-up.

164
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,858
Did you kiss?

165
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:30,825
Yeah.

166
00:07:30,827 --> 00:07:31,826
Were you naked?

167
00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:34,225
Yeah.

168
00:07:34,227 --> 00:07:36,025
So, it was a hook-up.

169
00:07:36,027 --> 00:07:37,992
No.

170
00:07:37,994 --> 00:07:40,192
Yeah.

171
00:07:42,293 --> 00:07:45,959
So, what are some ways we
could set our comic book store

172
00:07:45,961 --> 00:07:47,625
apart from the
competition?

173
00:07:47,627 --> 00:07:49,358
Oh, kids buy comic books.
It would be great

174
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,458
to figure out a way
to get more kids in the store.

175
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:53,458
You know, when I was a
kid, I loved going there,

176
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:55,458
but I could
never get a ride.

177
00:07:55,460 --> 00:07:59,458
Ooh, what if we got a van and
drove around and picked kids up?

178
00:08:03,627 --> 00:08:05,658
Nice.

179
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:10,092
You mean,
like at parks and schools?

180
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,625
Toy stores,
puppet shows.

181
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:17,758
Hold on. So, your idea is
to get a van

182
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,192
and cruise the streets looking
for kids to pick up?

183
00:08:22,727 --> 00:08:25,092
Yes.

184
00:08:26,227 --> 00:08:29,959
And are you gonna use candy
to lure them in?

185
00:08:30,827 --> 00:08:33,358
We are now!

186
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,625
You told Emily
we hooked up?

187
00:08:37,627 --> 00:08:40,992
Um, well, in my defense,
I tell everybody.

188
00:08:40,994 --> 00:08:42,391
Why would you say that?

189
00:08:42,393 --> 00:08:44,692
We were having a conversation
about past lovers.

190
00:08:44,694 --> 00:08:45,825
We weren't lovers! Come on.

191
00:08:45,827 --> 00:08:47,092
Everyone knows
we didn't sleep together.

192
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:48,391
We got drunk
and fooled around.

193
00:08:48,393 --> 00:08:50,159
Why couldn't you just
leave me out of it?

194
00:08:50,161 --> 00:08:51,291
Well, we were being honest.

195
00:08:51,293 --> 00:08:53,059
You would leave me
out of the conversation

196
00:08:53,061 --> 00:08:54,925
with the next guy
if you dump Leonard?

197
00:08:54,927 --> 00:08:58,092
Why say it?
Yes!

198
00:08:58,094 --> 00:09:00,458
Well, I would never
leave you off my list,

199
00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:02,092
and not just

200
00:09:02,094 --> 00:09:03,391
because, without you,

201
00:09:03,393 --> 00:09:05,825
we're playing fast and loose
with the word "list."

202
00:09:05,827 --> 00:09:07,858
Well, good job.
Now she hates me.

203
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:10,025
Oh.

204
00:09:10,027 --> 00:09:12,291
Great.

205
00:09:12,293 --> 00:09:14,792
On the bright side,
that Oxford study was right.

206
00:09:14,794 --> 00:09:16,858
One friend down.

207
00:09:18,061 --> 00:09:22,125
I wonder who you're going
to lose next.

208
00:09:22,127 --> 00:09:24,525
You, okay? It's you.
You're-you're next!

209
00:09:26,393 --> 00:09:29,291
No. You're crazy about me.

210
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,858
I feel pretty... oh so pretty.

211
00:09:37,984 --> 00:09:40,215
I don't know what Emily's
so upset about anyway.

212
00:09:40,217 --> 00:09:43,149
Even if I had slept with him,
so what? Everyone has a past.

213
00:09:43,951 --> 00:09:46,615
Almost everyone has a past.

214
00:09:46,617 --> 00:09:48,049
Come on, look
how pretty you are.

215
00:09:48,051 --> 00:09:50,149
I'm sure this isn't
the first girl to hate you.

216
00:09:50,151 --> 00:09:52,749
It's not.

217
00:09:52,751 --> 00:09:55,382
And I'm sure
you can turn it around.

218
00:09:55,384 --> 00:09:57,682
How? You can't force someone
to like you.

219
00:09:57,684 --> 00:09:58,749
What if you just

220
00:09:58,751 --> 00:10:00,415
hang around and act
like her friend

221
00:10:00,417 --> 00:10:02,982
until you wear her down?
I mean, next thing you know,

222
00:10:02,984 --> 00:10:04,337
you're in her home,
you're eating her food,

223
00:10:04,361 --> 00:10:05,431
drinking her wine.

224
00:10:08,351 --> 00:10:09,949
No, that won't work.

225
00:10:09,951 --> 00:10:12,282
You're right. Cheers.

226
00:10:12,284 --> 00:10:13,549
Oh, I know.

227
00:10:13,551 --> 00:10:15,515
Why don't you use
your sales training

228
00:10:15,517 --> 00:10:17,749
to go back down there
and sell yourself?

229
00:10:17,751 --> 00:10:19,148
What?
Yeah.

230
00:10:19,150 --> 00:10:20,716
But instead of selling a drug,

231
00:10:20,718 --> 00:10:22,515
you'd be selling Penny...
it's cute.

232
00:10:22,517 --> 00:10:23,549
It's stupid.

233
00:10:23,551 --> 00:10:25,749
Well, maybe people
would like you more

234
00:10:25,751 --> 00:10:28,515
if you didn't crap
all over their ideas.

235
00:10:28,517 --> 00:10:31,116
I'm gonna go with
Penny on this one.

236
00:10:31,118 --> 00:10:34,749
Then again, why wouldn't I?
I mean, we go way back.

237
00:10:34,751 --> 00:10:37,782
Oh, my God.
I didn't used to like you.

238
00:10:37,784 --> 00:10:40,982
Shh. Amy's here now.

239
00:10:43,818 --> 00:10:46,315
You know, the more
I think about it,

240
00:10:46,317 --> 00:10:49,949
the more intrigued I am
about having our own store.

241
00:10:49,951 --> 00:10:51,949
We'll get to see
all the new stuff

242
00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:53,582
before it hits the shelves.

243
00:10:53,584 --> 00:10:55,482
And we'll get to have
fun interactions

244
00:10:55,484 --> 00:10:56,649
with our customers.

245
00:10:56,651 --> 00:11:00,282
"This isn't a library...
buy it or get out."

246
00:11:00,284 --> 00:11:03,248
You say things like that
all the time.

247
00:11:03,250 --> 00:11:05,515
Yes, but as a store owner,
I'll finally have a good comeback

248
00:11:05,517 --> 00:11:07,982
to, "You don't work here...
shut up."

249
00:11:09,317 --> 00:11:11,649
Uh, do you know how Penny
told Raj he should have

250
00:11:11,651 --> 00:11:13,482
left her off his list?
Yeah.

251
00:11:13,484 --> 00:11:15,982
Well, do you think when she
and I had that conversation,

252
00:11:15,984 --> 00:11:17,482
she left people off her list?

253
00:11:17,484 --> 00:11:18,816
I'm sure she did.

254
00:11:18,818 --> 00:11:20,849
Why?

255
00:11:20,851 --> 00:11:22,582
Because if she hadn't,

256
00:11:22,584 --> 00:11:26,282
she'd still be wading
through the list.

257
00:11:26,284 --> 00:11:27,982
Will you stay out of this?

258
00:11:27,984 --> 00:11:30,649
If only Penny
had said that once in a while.

259
00:11:32,751 --> 00:11:34,248
Hey, what difference
does it make?

260
00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:36,082
You're the one
she wants to marry.

261
00:11:36,084 --> 00:11:37,816
That's true.
Yeah, and I'm not sure

262
00:11:37,818 --> 00:11:40,782
that complete honesty
is always the best thing

263
00:11:40,784 --> 00:11:42,615
for a relationship.

264
00:11:42,617 --> 00:11:45,649
Yeah, he's right.
Once, in a moment of candor,

265
00:11:45,651 --> 00:11:48,482
I told Amy
that her hair reminded me

266
00:11:48,484 --> 00:11:51,649
of a duck caught
in an oil spill. Well...

267
00:11:51,651 --> 00:11:53,515
she stormed out.

268
00:11:53,517 --> 00:11:56,182
Which was sad, because
we were playing Scrabble,

269
00:11:56,184 --> 00:12:00,582
and I had all the letters
to spell "persimmon."

270
00:12:03,718 --> 00:12:06,082
Why are you even part
of this conversation?

271
00:12:06,084 --> 00:12:07,949
You don't know
anything about women.

272
00:12:07,951 --> 00:12:10,649
I know that if I had
a wife or a fiancée,

273
00:12:10,651 --> 00:12:12,716
I'd ask her first
before I invested money

274
00:12:12,718 --> 00:12:14,549
in a comic book store.

275
00:12:14,551 --> 00:12:16,282
He's right.

276
00:12:16,284 --> 00:12:17,349
Yeah, well,

277
00:12:17,351 --> 00:12:18,615
of course I am.

278
00:12:18,617 --> 00:12:20,048
I was also right about her hair.

279
00:12:20,050 --> 00:12:22,115
It did everything but quack.

280
00:12:25,284 --> 00:12:27,515
There's something
I wanted to run past you.

281
00:12:27,517 --> 00:12:29,682
What's up?
Mm, the guys and I

282
00:12:29,684 --> 00:12:32,449
were thinking about investing
in Stuart's comic book store.

283
00:12:32,451 --> 00:12:34,982
Is that okay?
Why are you asking me?

284
00:12:34,984 --> 00:12:36,816
Well, you know,
we're engaged,

285
00:12:36,818 --> 00:12:39,315
and it's kind of
a big deal financially.

286
00:12:39,317 --> 00:12:41,615
It seems like something
we should talk about.

287
00:12:41,617 --> 00:12:42,882
Oh.

288
00:12:42,884 --> 00:12:45,315
Well, would you consider
mounds of credit card debt

289
00:12:45,317 --> 00:12:47,849
kind of a big deal
financially?

290
00:12:49,818 --> 00:12:51,849
Yeah.

291
00:12:51,851 --> 00:12:53,449
Huh.

292
00:12:55,617 --> 00:12:58,716
Mm. So, me and the guys
were talking about

293
00:12:58,718 --> 00:13:00,682
this great
investment opportunity...

294
00:13:00,684 --> 00:13:02,682
Nope.

295
00:13:02,684 --> 00:13:05,415
But you didn't hear what it was.

296
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:08,182
I know.

297
00:13:09,050 --> 00:13:10,949
Oh, come on.

298
00:13:10,951 --> 00:13:12,415
Fine. What is it?

299
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:14,515
It's to help reopen
the comic book store.

300
00:13:14,517 --> 00:13:16,282
Nope.

301
00:13:16,284 --> 00:13:18,382
Well, hear me out.

302
00:13:18,384 --> 00:13:20,582
Howard, you know
we're saving up for a house.

303
00:13:20,584 --> 00:13:22,916
I know, but all the guys
are doing it.

304
00:13:22,918 --> 00:13:25,816
We're splitting it four ways, so
it's really not that much money.

305
00:13:25,818 --> 00:13:28,582
It just seems
like a risky investment.

306
00:13:28,584 --> 00:13:31,282
I get that. I...

307
00:13:32,184 --> 00:13:34,782
Okay, look...

308
00:13:36,317 --> 00:13:41,148
The reason this is important
is...

309
00:13:42,250 --> 00:13:45,882
before my dad left
me and my mom...

310
00:13:45,884 --> 00:13:49,582
he used to... take me
to the comic book store.

311
00:13:50,517 --> 00:13:54,015
It was one of the few things
we did together.

312
00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:56,782
Oh. Howie, I had no idea.

313
00:13:56,784 --> 00:14:00,182
Well, I don't...
like to talk about it.

314
00:14:00,184 --> 00:14:02,882
Oh, baby.

315
00:14:02,884 --> 00:14:06,349
That story's made
up, isn't it?

316
00:14:07,551 --> 00:14:11,115
That's how much buying
a comic book store means to me.

317
00:14:14,084 --> 00:14:16,782
I'd like your honest
opinion on something.

318
00:14:16,784 --> 00:14:18,015
Of course.

319
00:14:18,017 --> 00:14:19,482
Now, before I start,

320
00:14:19,484 --> 00:14:23,482
I need you to know that
I'm very excited about this,

321
00:14:23,484 --> 00:14:25,582
and anything you say

322
00:14:25,584 --> 00:14:27,649
that isn't
enthusiastically supportive

323
00:14:27,651 --> 00:14:31,349
will throw our entire
relationship into question.

324
00:14:33,484 --> 00:14:35,182
So...

325
00:14:35,184 --> 00:14:37,948
keep an open mind.

326
00:14:37,950 --> 00:14:41,048
I'm feeling a little backed
into a corner, Sheldon.

327
00:14:41,050 --> 00:14:43,082
Perfect. Now...

328
00:14:44,351 --> 00:14:46,816
I'm considering investing

329
00:14:46,818 --> 00:14:49,515
in Stuart's comic book store.

330
00:14:50,384 --> 00:14:51,849
Interesting.

331
00:14:53,950 --> 00:14:56,682
Can you see how
a grown man,

332
00:14:56,684 --> 00:14:58,282
an accomplished scientist,

333
00:14:58,284 --> 00:15:00,816
who invests in a store

334
00:15:00,818 --> 00:15:02,682
that sells picture books

335
00:15:02,684 --> 00:15:06,082
about flying men in
colorful underwear...

336
00:15:07,351 --> 00:15:09,515
might be wasting
both his financial

337
00:15:09,517 --> 00:15:11,582
and intellectual
resources?

338
00:15:18,217 --> 00:15:20,415
No.

339
00:15:21,950 --> 00:15:24,582
Then I think it's
a terrific idea.

340
00:15:24,584 --> 00:15:26,449
Great.

341
00:15:26,451 --> 00:15:30,582
Wait till you hear
about our van.

342
00:15:34,883 --> 00:15:36,816
Hey. Thanks for inviting us over.
Hey.

343
00:15:36,817 --> 00:15:38,248
Oh, thank you
for coming.

344
00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:40,782
Uh, listen, Penny,
before you start,

345
00:15:40,784 --> 00:15:42,749
I just want to apologize
for being so rude

346
00:15:42,751 --> 00:15:44,082
the other day
in my office.

347
00:15:44,084 --> 00:15:45,549
No, no. No need to apologize.

348
00:15:45,551 --> 00:15:47,248
Excuse me,
can I say something?

349
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:49,382
I just love both you guys,

350
00:15:49,384 --> 00:15:51,349
and I want you
to get along.

351
00:15:51,351 --> 00:15:53,948
And when I say "love"
I meant as a friend.

352
00:15:54,917 --> 00:15:57,682
And, uh, way
too soon, right?

353
00:15:59,017 --> 00:16:00,682
Okay, sit down.
Listen, Emily,

354
00:16:00,684 --> 00:16:02,248
what happened
between me and Raj

355
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:03,749
was a long time ago.
It was,

356
00:16:03,751 --> 00:16:05,115
and I may have
made it seem

357
00:16:05,117 --> 00:16:06,815
like a bigger deal
than I should have.

358
00:16:06,817 --> 00:16:08,282
Yeah, and Leonard and I
are engaged now,

359
00:16:08,284 --> 00:16:10,682
and I'm just hoping we can put
this whole thing behind us.

360
00:16:10,684 --> 00:16:12,148
Mm. I'd like that, too.

361
00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:14,315
Yeah, I thought
I'd be okay with it,

362
00:16:14,317 --> 00:16:16,549
but then I saw
how pretty you are.

363
00:16:16,551 --> 00:16:18,082
Oh, that's so sweet.

364
00:16:18,084 --> 00:16:20,215
I mean, look at you...
you are gorgeous.

365
00:16:20,217 --> 00:16:23,948
It's true...
you're both gorgeous.

366
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:26,649
Kind of says something about
the man who could bed you both.

367
00:16:33,084 --> 00:16:37,415
You get why I've been alone
most of my adult life.

368
00:16:40,084 --> 00:16:42,815
So, what brings you by?
Well,

369
00:16:42,817 --> 00:16:45,582
I don't need a reason...
it's my house.

370
00:16:45,584 --> 00:16:47,915
Technically,
it's your mom's house, but...

371
00:16:47,917 --> 00:16:50,915
we certainly want you
to feel welcome.

372
00:16:50,917 --> 00:16:53,682
I'm always welcome.

373
00:16:53,684 --> 00:16:56,449
Mm, just... try and call first.

374
00:16:56,451 --> 00:16:59,716
Okay, let's get
down to business.

375
00:16:59,718 --> 00:17:02,082
Howie was thinking about
putting up some money

376
00:17:02,084 --> 00:17:05,048
to help you reopen the store,
but before that happens,

377
00:17:05,050 --> 00:17:07,115
I have a few questions.
Oh.

378
00:17:07,117 --> 00:17:08,482
I appreciate the offer,

379
00:17:08,484 --> 00:17:11,615
but actually your mother
already gave me the money.

380
00:17:13,284 --> 00:17:15,582
What?

381
00:17:15,584 --> 00:17:17,715
Yeah. I told her
it was too much,

382
00:17:17,717 --> 00:17:20,881
but she said she was happy
to help out her bubala.

383
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:24,415
Excuse me.

384
00:17:25,384 --> 00:17:27,715
Ma, you are canceling
that check,

385
00:17:27,717 --> 00:17:30,482
and Stuart is not your bubala;
I'm your bubala.

386
00:17:30,484 --> 00:17:33,748
You can't have more
than one bubala!

387
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:35,482
I don't know
who he's talking to.

388
00:17:35,484 --> 00:17:37,948
She's at Target,
buying me shirts.

389
00:17:40,983 --> 00:17:43,482
I'm so glad we
could work this all out.

390
00:17:43,484 --> 00:17:46,115
Yeah, me, too.
You know, we should have dinner

391
00:17:46,117 --> 00:17:47,482
one night with you and Leonard.

392
00:17:47,484 --> 00:17:48,682
Oh, we would love that.

393
00:17:48,684 --> 00:17:49,415
Great!

394
00:17:50,651 --> 00:17:52,715
Okay, good night, guys.
All right, night.

395
00:17:52,717 --> 00:17:54,715
Bye.

396
00:17:54,717 --> 00:17:57,282
I hate her.
I hate her.

397
00:18:06,205 --> 00:18:07,769
I'm really disappointed
we're not gonna have

398
00:18:07,771 --> 00:18:09,470
our own comic book store.
I know.

399
00:18:09,472 --> 00:18:11,236
I was looking forward to it.
It would've been

400
00:18:11,238 --> 00:18:13,536
so nice to have a place
that was ours,

401
00:18:13,538 --> 00:18:16,503
where we could just sit
and read comics in peace.

402
00:18:16,505 --> 00:18:17,969
With comfy seats.

403
00:18:17,971 --> 00:18:19,336
And snacks.

404
00:18:19,338 --> 00:18:21,436
Well, I guess
it was too good to be true.

405
00:18:21,438 --> 00:18:22,969
Yeah.
