1
00:00:00,762 --> 00:00:03,315
Oh, thanks. Got a couple
new outfits for work.

2
00:00:03,317 --> 00:00:05,269
How does it feel knowing
your fiancée's job

3
00:00:05,271 --> 00:00:07,406
is to go out
and flirt with doctors,

4
00:00:07,408 --> 00:00:10,112
looking like that,
while you sit here, you know...

5
00:00:10,114 --> 00:00:12,166
looking like this?

6
00:00:12,168 --> 00:00:14,788
She doesn't flirt
with doctors.

7
00:00:14,790 --> 00:00:16,926
Yeah. It's all
very professional.

8
00:00:16,928 --> 00:00:19,047
You know when you bend over,
I can see down your shirt?

9
00:00:19,049 --> 00:00:20,850
Okay, good.

10
00:00:20,852 --> 00:00:23,438
Speaking of new careers,
how are things going

11
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,392
with dark matter,
Sheldon?

12
00:00:25,394 --> 00:00:28,065
Oh, yeah, I'd have to say
it's the most exiting time

13
00:00:28,067 --> 00:00:29,902
in the history of the field.
Oh.

14
00:00:29,904 --> 00:00:30,905
What's going on?

15
00:00:30,906 --> 00:00:33,458
I started doing it.

16
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:34,662
You know, the government funded

17
00:00:34,664 --> 00:00:37,416
the biggest experiment yet
to detect dark matter.

18
00:00:37,418 --> 00:00:38,803
Oh, yeah,

19
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:41,091
I've read about that...
they're sending research teams

20
00:00:41,093 --> 00:00:43,595
down into abandoned salt mines.
You know, Sheldon,

21
00:00:43,597 --> 00:00:45,734
if we apply to be
one of those teams,

22
00:00:45,736 --> 00:00:48,238
we could be on the ground floor
of something big...

23
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,860
not just for theoretical physics
but for astrophysics as well.

24
00:00:50,862 --> 00:00:53,916
Wait, hang on... you guys
are gonna work in a mine?

25
00:00:53,918 --> 00:00:55,119
Why not?
You had

26
00:00:55,121 --> 00:00:58,008
a panic attack when
we went through the car wash.

27
00:00:58,010 --> 00:01:00,964
Perhaps the emotion
you're referring to was shock

28
00:01:00,966 --> 00:01:03,552
at you having something cleaned.

29
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:06,842
I think what Penny meant is,
the thought of you two

30
00:01:06,844 --> 00:01:10,617
in a mine is kind of funny...
it's like a cat riding a Roomba.

31
00:01:11,687 --> 00:01:13,155
If they get scared,
they'll have those hats

32
00:01:13,157 --> 00:01:14,825
with the lights on them,
'cause down there

33
00:01:14,827 --> 00:01:17,664
it's night-night all the time!

34
00:01:17,666 --> 00:01:18,766
Maybe they could

35
00:01:18,768 --> 00:01:20,804
ride around in one of
those mine carts that go,

36
00:01:20,806 --> 00:01:23,391
ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo.

37
00:01:23,393 --> 00:01:27,516
Yeah, it'll help them get away
when they see a gh-gh-ghost...!

38
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,940
Are they making fun of us?
Yup.

39
00:01:30,942 --> 00:01:33,863
I miss the old days
when I couldn't tell.

40
00:01:57,582 --> 00:02:03,588
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man

41
00:02:03,589 --> 00:02:06,093
So, one of my favorite
video games of all time

42
00:02:06,095 --> 00:02:08,615
is called Shadow of the Colossus,
and it was only

43
00:02:08,617 --> 00:02:09,851
for PlayStation 2,

44
00:02:09,853 --> 00:02:11,771
but then they came out
with a new version

45
00:02:11,773 --> 00:02:13,074
for PS3 with better graphics.

46
00:02:13,076 --> 00:02:14,861
I finally got the chance
to play it,

47
00:02:14,863 --> 00:02:18,401
and for some reason, it just
wasn't as good as the first one.

48
00:02:22,795 --> 00:02:25,465
Or something about yoga.

49
00:02:25,467 --> 00:02:28,437
I'm sorry...
I was thinking about work.

50
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,859
Well, I was just saying that
there was this video game...

51
00:02:30,861 --> 00:02:33,397
Yeah, that's when I started
thinking about work.

52
00:02:33,399 --> 00:02:35,869
Uh, listen, I've got
some good news.

53
00:02:35,871 --> 00:02:37,873
Hmm.

54
00:02:37,875 --> 00:02:39,493
This is for you.

55
00:02:39,495 --> 00:02:41,163
Huh.

56
00:02:43,837 --> 00:02:45,605
What is this?

57
00:02:45,607 --> 00:02:47,542
Well, you know how
they gave me the company car?

58
00:02:47,544 --> 00:02:49,847
Didn't make sense to have two,
so I sold the other one.

59
00:02:49,849 --> 00:02:51,600
The one I gave you?

60
00:02:51,602 --> 00:02:54,156
Yeah. And there's your money
back... and now we're even.

61
00:02:54,158 --> 00:02:56,493
How great is that?

62
00:02:56,495 --> 00:02:58,698
Uh, yeah.

63
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,501
What?

64
00:03:00,503 --> 00:03:02,505
Nothing.

65
00:03:02,507 --> 00:03:05,261
Oh, come on, Leonard, I know
the car was a thoughtful gesture

66
00:03:05,263 --> 00:03:06,513
and I really appreciate it,

67
00:03:06,515 --> 00:03:08,350
but it doesn't make sense
to have both.

68
00:03:08,352 --> 00:03:10,271
You're right.
What should I have done?

69
00:03:10,273 --> 00:03:13,728
Taken a picture of us in the car
and put it in a pink frame

70
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:18,087
with puffy paint around it
that says "best fiancé ever"?

71
00:03:19,541 --> 00:03:21,744
Doesn't sound that bad.

72
00:03:21,746 --> 00:03:24,082
Well, good, because...
that's why I did!

73
00:03:24,084 --> 00:03:25,334
Aw...

74
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:28,207
Oh...

75
00:03:28,209 --> 00:03:29,259
thank you.

76
00:03:29,261 --> 00:03:30,812
That-that is so sweet.
No, it's not

77
00:03:30,814 --> 00:03:32,599
that sweet...
I paid for the frame

78
00:03:32,601 --> 00:03:34,854
with your money
and then got a massage.

79
00:03:34,856 --> 00:03:38,277
You know what, you don't
have to give me this.

80
00:03:38,279 --> 00:03:39,579
You keep it.

81
00:03:39,581 --> 00:03:40,782
Why?
The car

82
00:03:40,784 --> 00:03:42,402
was a gift... it was something
you needed.

83
00:03:42,404 --> 00:03:43,838
I was happy to
help you out.

84
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,678
And I really appreciate it,
but now I don't need it,

85
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,932
so... here you go.
Well,

86
00:03:48,934 --> 00:03:50,719
this is silly... so you
don't need the car,

87
00:03:50,721 --> 00:03:52,605
but you could use it to buy
yourself something else,

88
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:56,848
like a... new purse to
put all this money in.

89
00:03:56,850 --> 00:03:58,234
Sweetie, I can buy my own stuff.

90
00:03:58,236 --> 00:03:59,620
I have a good job now.

91
00:03:59,622 --> 00:04:01,089
I know, and I'm
proud of you,

92
00:04:01,091 --> 00:04:02,960
but that doesn't mean I
can't do something nice.

93
00:04:02,962 --> 00:04:05,966
Like this.

94
00:04:05,968 --> 00:04:08,003
Okay, I don't want this
to turn into a fight.

95
00:04:08,005 --> 00:04:09,139
I don't, either.
Great.

96
00:04:09,141 --> 00:04:11,093
Thank you.

97
00:04:13,734 --> 00:04:15,852
Can you pass the salt, please?
Sure.

98
00:04:21,950 --> 00:04:24,987
In my mind, that broke
the tension with comedy

99
00:04:24,989 --> 00:04:26,958
and led to sex.

100
00:04:32,053 --> 00:04:34,172
Hey, Sheldon, you busy?

101
00:04:34,174 --> 00:04:36,059
I'm always busy.

102
00:04:36,061 --> 00:04:39,399
This mind is capable
of advanced multitasking.

103
00:04:39,401 --> 00:04:40,368
You know, currently,

104
00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:41,704
I'm attempting to solve

105
00:04:41,706 --> 00:04:42,906
the Penrose conjecture,

106
00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:45,544
I'm composing
my Nobel acceptance speech

107
00:04:45,546 --> 00:04:48,050
for when I've solved
the Penrose conjecture,

108
00:04:48,052 --> 00:04:51,273
and I'm wondering
how mermaids have babies.

109
00:04:52,544 --> 00:04:55,264
Don't they lay eggs on a rock?

110
00:04:56,485 --> 00:04:58,905
Now I've got room
for another thing.

111
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:00,358
What do you want?

112
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,080
So, I did a little
research on what

113
00:05:03,082 --> 00:05:04,917
the conditions are like
in the mines,

114
00:05:04,919 --> 00:05:06,420
and the guys might be right...

115
00:05:06,422 --> 00:05:07,790
sounds pretty rough
down there.

116
00:05:07,792 --> 00:05:09,760
For starters, it's very humid,

117
00:05:09,762 --> 00:05:11,546
and about a hundred degrees.

118
00:05:11,548 --> 00:05:14,386
Well, I'm from Texas
and you're from India...

119
00:05:14,388 --> 00:05:18,527
we're no strangers
to the fragrant armpit. Next.

120
00:05:18,529 --> 00:05:22,218
It's also a live mine, so
there'll be dynamite explosions

121
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:24,489
going off in the distance.
Yeah, I have

122
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:26,326
a lactose-intolerant roommate

123
00:05:26,328 --> 00:05:29,382
with a taste
for ice cream. Next.

124
00:05:29,384 --> 00:05:32,338
Oh, you have to be down there
for 12 hours at a time.

125
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:35,094
Yeah? We have to be somewhere.

126
00:05:35,096 --> 00:05:36,263
Well, there's no toilets...

127
00:05:36,265 --> 00:05:38,016
we'll have to do our business
in a bucket.

128
00:05:38,018 --> 00:05:41,106
So it's settled...
we're not doing it.

129
00:05:42,695 --> 00:05:45,331
Look, I get it, but...
before we pass up

130
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:47,986
on an incredible opportunity,
I was thinking about

131
00:05:47,988 --> 00:05:50,174
when Howard was training
to go to space,

132
00:05:50,176 --> 00:05:52,128
they put him
in a simulated environment.

133
00:05:52,130 --> 00:05:55,434
Interesting. You're
suggesting that we recreate

134
00:05:55,436 --> 00:05:57,271
the conditions
of the mine

135
00:05:57,273 --> 00:05:59,693
to see if we can handle it.
Exactly.

136
00:05:59,695 --> 00:06:01,731
Very well.
So where should we do it?

137
00:06:01,733 --> 00:06:05,070
Well, I'll just Google
"hot, dark and moist,"

138
00:06:05,072 --> 00:06:08,243
see what comes up.

139
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,464
Uh, Sheldon...

140
00:06:10,466 --> 00:06:13,437
Oh, there, well, look,
there's all kinds of videos.

141
00:06:17,063 --> 00:06:18,430
Hey, you got a sec?

142
00:06:18,432 --> 00:06:19,767
Hi. Sure.

143
00:06:19,769 --> 00:06:21,486
I was hoping we could talk
about the money again.

144
00:06:21,488 --> 00:06:24,275
Oh, sweetie, just forget about it.
No, no, no, no,

145
00:06:24,277 --> 00:06:26,948
hear me out. I know things
got a little weird last night.

146
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:30,204
Well, leaving an envelope full
of cash on my dresser after sex

147
00:06:30,206 --> 00:06:32,843
would count as weird.

148
00:06:32,845 --> 00:06:36,216
Well, I think I came up
with a pretty good solution.

149
00:06:36,218 --> 00:06:36,925
Mm.

150
00:06:36,949 --> 00:06:39,081
Why don't we just put the money
in a joint account?

151
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:40,859
It'll be our first
money together.

152
00:06:40,861 --> 00:06:43,113
We can use it for the wedding,
the honeymoon, whatever.

153
00:06:43,115 --> 00:06:45,067
You know what, that's great.
I love that!

154
00:06:45,069 --> 00:06:48,958
Yeah, of course you do...
I'm not just a genius in bed.

155
00:06:56,174 --> 00:06:59,512
You sure are, baby.

156
00:07:00,349 --> 00:07:02,853
You two want to be alone?

157
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:05,742
I want you to know I get
why you don't want the money...

158
00:07:05,744 --> 00:07:07,445
you've got this new job,
you're excited

159
00:07:07,447 --> 00:07:09,115
about being financially
independent...

160
00:07:09,117 --> 00:07:11,169
and I am nothing
but proud of you.

161
00:07:11,171 --> 00:07:12,538
Oh, thank you so much.

162
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:14,627
It feels so good
to hear you say that.

163
00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:15,845
And I want you
to know

164
00:07:15,847 --> 00:07:17,716
that I get this job
kind of changes

165
00:07:17,718 --> 00:07:19,218
the balance in our relationship,

166
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:21,641
and... I'm trying
to be sensitive to that.

167
00:07:23,647 --> 00:07:26,066
What?

168
00:07:26,068 --> 00:07:28,570
Well, I just think that
maybe you're a little hung up

169
00:07:28,572 --> 00:07:31,126
on the money because
I'm less reliant on you now,

170
00:07:31,128 --> 00:07:32,578
and that's a little scary.

171
00:07:33,415 --> 00:07:35,752
Hmm.

172
00:07:35,754 --> 00:07:37,438
Maybe.

173
00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:41,764
Or maybe I tried
to do something nice

174
00:07:41,766 --> 00:07:44,235
and maybe you had
a problem with it

175
00:07:44,237 --> 00:07:46,957
because of your control issues.

176
00:07:48,462 --> 00:07:50,364
Control issues?

177
00:07:50,366 --> 00:07:53,120
Maybe.

178
00:07:53,122 --> 00:07:55,424
Or... maybe...

179
00:07:55,426 --> 00:07:57,629
now that I'm no longer
an out-of-work actress

180
00:07:57,631 --> 00:07:59,683
who can't pay
for her own dinner,

181
00:07:59,685 --> 00:08:01,804
that makes you
a little insecure.

182
00:08:01,806 --> 00:08:03,407
Well, I can't believe
you'd say that.

183
00:08:03,409 --> 00:08:07,164
You know how insecure I am
about my insecurities.

184
00:08:08,653 --> 00:08:10,237
You know what?
I'm sorry.

185
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:12,074
It's stupid
to fight over money.

186
00:08:12,076 --> 00:08:14,145
Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
We're about to share

187
00:08:14,147 --> 00:08:15,581
the rest of our lives together.

188
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:17,886
It's our money...
who cares who has it?

189
00:08:17,888 --> 00:08:20,759
Ugh! You're right...
who cares? Mm.

190
00:08:21,595 --> 00:08:23,731
Get that money
out of my back pocket

191
00:08:23,733 --> 00:08:26,102
or I will break your fingers.

192
00:08:28,192 --> 00:08:30,194
Huh. All this time
I never knew

193
00:08:30,196 --> 00:08:31,864
there were steam tunnels
down here.

194
00:08:31,866 --> 00:08:33,751
Most universities
have them.

195
00:08:33,753 --> 00:08:36,539
When I was an undergrad,
I spent three days in one

196
00:08:36,541 --> 00:08:37,959
pledging a sorority.

197
00:08:38,847 --> 00:08:40,865
Did you get in?

198
00:08:40,867 --> 00:08:42,384
No. They forgot I was there.

199
00:08:42,386 --> 00:08:44,857
But it really opened up
my pores.

200
00:08:46,144 --> 00:08:47,729
Well, according
to my research,

201
00:08:47,731 --> 00:08:50,702
the steam tunnels
below this access point

202
00:08:50,704 --> 00:08:53,958
should be the closest
analog to the mines.

203
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,377
This is gonna be
so much more accurate

204
00:08:55,379 --> 00:08:56,496
than the steam room at the gym.

205
00:08:56,498 --> 00:08:57,749
Plus, there's almost no chance

206
00:08:57,751 --> 00:09:00,470
we'll see any
of our coworkers half naked.

207
00:09:00,472 --> 00:09:03,728
Or totally naked.
I love Howard,

208
00:09:03,730 --> 00:09:05,849
but the dude needs
a little shame.

209
00:09:05,851 --> 00:09:09,272
All right, Amy, this
walkie-talkie is yours.

210
00:09:09,274 --> 00:09:11,777
If we run into any problems,
I'll contact you.

211
00:09:11,779 --> 00:09:13,948
And if anything bad happens,
what's the rule?

212
00:09:13,950 --> 00:09:17,538
Save you first; come back
for Raj only if there's time.

213
00:09:17,540 --> 00:09:20,127
We're going
to be fine.

214
00:09:20,129 --> 00:09:22,131
Sheldon, I'm really impressed

215
00:09:22,133 --> 00:09:23,885
you're willing to try this.

216
00:09:23,887 --> 00:09:25,638
Well, admittedly,
this brushes up

217
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,028
against my well-known aversions
to heat, small places,

218
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:30,615
going below floor-level,

219
00:09:30,617 --> 00:09:32,986
dampness, hatches,
ladders,

220
00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:34,873
darkness, echoes,

221
00:09:34,875 --> 00:09:38,296
and eliminating in
Home Depot buckets.

222
00:09:38,298 --> 00:09:41,002
That last one is quite new,
but I have a feeling

223
00:09:41,004 --> 00:09:43,423
that's gonna rocket
to the top of the list.

224
00:09:56,304 --> 00:10:00,227
I'm sweating already.

225
00:10:00,229 --> 00:10:05,320
Yeah, as the person beneath you,
allow me to say, I know.

226
00:10:08,362 --> 00:10:10,197
How hot is it?

227
00:10:10,199 --> 00:10:12,869
Uh, let's see.
704?

228
00:10:12,871 --> 00:10:15,290
No, wait, it's on "clock."

229
00:10:15,292 --> 00:10:17,712
No, the real answer
isn't much better.

230
00:10:17,714 --> 00:10:19,883
102 degrees.

231
00:10:19,885 --> 00:10:21,219
Well, that's what we wanted.

232
00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:22,936
This is as hot
as the mines will be.

233
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,977
True.

234
00:10:23,977 --> 00:10:29,068
Sheldon's Mine Simulation Log,
entry one.

235
00:10:29,070 --> 00:10:31,740
Koothrappali's restating
of the obvious

236
00:10:31,742 --> 00:10:34,495
is already getting on my nerves.

237
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:38,553
Thanks again
for having us.

238
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:41,226
Oh, of course. What did
you guys want to talk about?

239
00:10:41,228 --> 00:10:43,230
Well, you know, now
that we're engaged,

240
00:10:43,232 --> 00:10:46,737
we had some questions about how
you handle money as a couple.

241
00:10:46,739 --> 00:10:50,277
I told you they weren't gonna
ask us to swing with them.

242
00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:53,784
I didn't think
they were going to.

243
00:10:53,786 --> 00:10:55,370
I just wanted to have
a way to say no

244
00:10:55,372 --> 00:10:57,424
without hurting
Leonard's feelings.

245
00:10:58,462 --> 00:11:01,299
Well... nailed it.

246
00:11:01,301 --> 00:11:02,802
So what did you
want to know?

247
00:11:02,804 --> 00:11:05,858
Well, do you guys ever
fight over money?

248
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:07,361
Sure, sometimes.

249
00:11:07,363 --> 00:11:08,530
I mean, it can be
a little awkward

250
00:11:08,532 --> 00:11:11,152
since I make so much more money
than Howie.

251
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:15,243
You didn't have to say
"so much more."

252
00:11:15,245 --> 00:11:16,830
Well, I didn't have to,
but for the sake of accuracy

253
00:11:16,832 --> 00:11:18,968
I felt that I should.

254
00:11:19,805 --> 00:11:21,472
I brought a lot of
significant assets

255
00:11:21,474 --> 00:11:23,043
into the
relationship, too.

256
00:11:23,045 --> 00:11:27,184
Like what? Your incomplete set
of Star Trek collector plates?

257
00:11:28,288 --> 00:11:29,505
For your information,
I just bought the last one

258
00:11:29,507 --> 00:11:31,827
I needed on eBay.

259
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:33,513
Without asking me?

260
00:11:33,515 --> 00:11:36,602
There were only three minutes
left in the auction

261
00:11:36,604 --> 00:11:40,962
and it was a mint condition
Scotty from a smoke-free home.

262
00:11:43,218 --> 00:11:44,185
How much, Howie?

263
00:11:44,187 --> 00:11:45,137
Not a lot.

264
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:47,041
How much?

265
00:11:47,043 --> 00:11:50,230
Let's not talk about this
in front of our friends.

266
00:11:50,232 --> 00:11:53,738
Was it more or less
than falconry school?

267
00:11:55,492 --> 00:12:00,100
For the tenth time,
that was a Groupon.

268
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,106
Like I would swing
with him.

269
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,485
How you feeling?

270
00:12:09,487 --> 00:12:10,922
Good.

271
00:12:10,924 --> 00:12:13,778
Little claustrophobic.

272
00:12:13,780 --> 00:12:15,163
Let's set up
the equipment.

273
00:12:15,165 --> 00:12:17,451
It'll help take
your mind off of it.

274
00:12:17,453 --> 00:12:21,509
Miners often sang mining songs
to keep their spirits up.

275
00:12:21,511 --> 00:12:23,263
Do you know any
mining songs?

276
00:12:23,265 --> 00:12:25,300
Just the hits.

277
00:12:31,397 --> 00:12:32,481
That's pretty.

278
00:12:48,348 --> 00:12:50,517
It's a little more
bleak than I thought.

279
00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:04,428
Getting kind
of grim.

280
00:13:17,741 --> 00:13:22,047
Okay. How 'bout
a little Miley Cyrus next?

281
00:13:22,049 --> 00:13:23,717
Who's he?

282
00:13:27,426 --> 00:13:29,646
Talk about wasted money.

283
00:13:29,648 --> 00:13:31,984
What about the late fees
on our credit card

284
00:13:31,986 --> 00:13:33,687
because somebody didn't pay
the bill on time?

285
00:13:33,689 --> 00:13:34,990
Well, maybe I would have paid it

286
00:13:34,992 --> 00:13:37,527
if I wasn't also doing
everything else around here.

287
00:13:37,529 --> 00:13:39,749
Oh, you're saying I don't do
anything around here.

288
00:13:41,537 --> 00:13:44,843
Look at my chore chart.

289
00:13:44,845 --> 00:13:48,299
She made him a chore chart.
I see it.

290
00:13:48,301 --> 00:13:51,807
"Do the dishes."
There's a star right there.

291
00:13:51,809 --> 00:13:54,813
That was a pity star. Putting
water in the roasting pan

292
00:13:54,815 --> 00:13:57,785
and leaving it in the sink
is not doing the dishes.

293
00:13:57,787 --> 00:14:01,994
That pan had to soak
and you know it.

294
00:14:01,996 --> 00:14:04,081
Well, don't come crying to me

295
00:14:04,083 --> 00:14:05,801
when you don't get
your allowance.

296
00:14:06,672 --> 00:14:07,722
It's not an allowance.

297
00:14:07,724 --> 00:14:09,008
It's a stipend!

298
00:14:09,010 --> 00:14:10,928
And we said we weren't gonna
call it an allowance

299
00:14:10,930 --> 00:14:12,264
in front of my friends.

300
00:14:16,357 --> 00:14:19,194
I usually don't like
lemon bars,

301
00:14:19,196 --> 00:14:21,700
but Th-these are really good.

302
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:27,712
So, as Hannah
Montana, Miley

303
00:14:27,714 --> 00:14:29,298
was a world-famous pop star.

304
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,302
But then she would take off
her wig and go to school

305
00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:32,521
like a
normal girl.

306
00:14:32,523 --> 00:14:33,556
Which, I don't have to tell you,

307
00:14:33,558 --> 00:14:36,562
at that age,
is its own headache.

308
00:14:36,564 --> 00:14:38,867
That's preposterous.

309
00:14:38,869 --> 00:14:41,990
How would she go unrecognized
just by wearing a wig?

310
00:14:41,992 --> 00:14:44,078
But you're okay with Superman
concealing his identity

311
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,330
with a pair of glasses?

312
00:14:45,332 --> 00:14:47,250
He doesn't just put on a pair
of glasses.

313
00:14:47,252 --> 00:14:48,887
He combs back his curlicue

314
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:52,060
and affects
a mild-mannered personality.

315
00:14:52,062 --> 00:14:54,431
You guys doing
okay down there?

316
00:14:54,433 --> 00:14:57,487
I told you to use
the walkie-talkie!

317
00:14:57,489 --> 00:15:01,947
You guys doing okay down there?

318
00:15:01,949 --> 00:15:06,539
Please keep this channel clear
for emergencies. Thank you.

319
00:15:06,541 --> 00:15:10,263
I'm going to the vending
machine. Do you want anything?

320
00:15:10,265 --> 00:15:12,885
This is a simulation.
We have to survive

321
00:15:12,887 --> 00:15:14,221
on the supplies we brought.

322
00:15:14,223 --> 00:15:16,810
Okay, just checking.

323
00:15:16,812 --> 00:15:19,783
We should have asked her
to get some Funyuns.

324
00:15:19,785 --> 00:15:21,703
You're not going to have Funyuns

325
00:15:21,705 --> 00:15:24,041
when we're a mile
below the surface of the Earth.

326
00:15:24,043 --> 00:15:25,828
What if we brought them down
with us?

327
00:15:26,665 --> 00:15:29,334
We'll take some Funyuns.

328
00:15:29,336 --> 00:15:31,338
Anything else?

329
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:34,011
Some York Peppermint Patties,

330
00:15:34,013 --> 00:15:35,681
a couple
of Dr. Peppers, and...

331
00:15:35,683 --> 00:15:38,436
run to Best Buy and see if
they have a portable DVD player

332
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:42,077
and season one of a show
called Hannah Montana.

333
00:15:42,079 --> 00:15:44,448
Have her get season two.

334
00:15:44,450 --> 00:15:47,370
Season one,
it was still finding itself.

335
00:15:48,458 --> 00:15:50,878
Sorry you guys had to see that.
Oh,

336
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,214
don't apologize.
Yeah.

337
00:15:52,216 --> 00:15:55,603
It just makes it a lot harder
to pretend it never happened.

338
00:15:55,605 --> 00:15:57,725
Money's a sensitive subject
for Howie

339
00:15:57,727 --> 00:15:59,696
because of the difference
in our income.

340
00:15:59,698 --> 00:16:00,948
It really bothers him?

341
00:16:00,950 --> 00:16:02,200
Well, sure.
There's still a lot of pressure

342
00:16:02,202 --> 00:16:03,569
on guys to be providers.

343
00:16:03,571 --> 00:16:05,540
So even though
he's happy for me,

344
00:16:05,542 --> 00:16:07,344
it's just a little tough on him.

345
00:16:07,346 --> 00:16:09,047
Uh-oh.
What?

346
00:16:09,049 --> 00:16:10,250
Well,

347
00:16:10,252 --> 00:16:11,418
if I do well in sales,

348
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:13,256
I could end up making a
lot more money than you.

349
00:16:13,258 --> 00:16:15,260
Not a problem.
I grew up with a mother

350
00:16:15,262 --> 00:16:16,930
who emasculated
my father financially

351
00:16:16,932 --> 00:16:19,351
and in every other aspect
of his life, so...

352
00:16:20,623 --> 00:16:23,777
really, it's what I think
love looks like.

353
00:16:25,215 --> 00:16:27,584
I'll be right back.
I'm gonna go check on him.

354
00:16:29,841 --> 00:16:31,496
Maybe it's a good
thing we came here.

355
00:16:31,497 --> 00:16:33,535
It's like a lesson
in what not to do.

356
00:16:33,536 --> 00:16:36,302
Yeah I don't want something dumb
like money to come between us.

357
00:16:36,304 --> 00:16:38,472
It won't. Let's just promise
to figure this kind of stuff out

358
00:16:38,474 --> 00:16:39,558
before we get married.

359
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,947
Why are you
being so bossy?

360
00:16:41,949 --> 00:16:43,850
Why are you
being a baby?

361
00:16:43,852 --> 00:16:46,455
I'm not a baby!
I'm a grown man,

362
00:16:46,457 --> 00:16:49,996
and I made the bed.
Now where's my star?

363
00:16:52,185 --> 00:16:54,221
Should we go?
Hang on.

364
00:16:54,223 --> 00:16:56,977
I want to see if
he gets the star.

365
00:16:59,149 --> 00:17:02,237
Oh, this heat is brutal.

366
00:17:02,239 --> 00:17:04,742
As someone from the tropical
subcontinent of India,

367
00:17:04,744 --> 00:17:07,247
you should know that fanning
yourself in a humid environment

368
00:17:07,249 --> 00:17:09,786
only raises
your body temperature.

369
00:17:09,788 --> 00:17:12,758
Huh. That does explain why
the servants used to look so hot

370
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,511
while they were fanning me.

371
00:17:14,513 --> 00:17:18,269
Let's get our minds off
how uncomfortable we are.

372
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:20,606
We could take some more
simulated instrument readings.

373
00:17:20,608 --> 00:17:21,893
My major focus

374
00:17:21,895 --> 00:17:24,615
at the moment is keeping
my claustrophobia at bay.

375
00:17:24,617 --> 00:17:26,201
How's that going?
You tell me.

376
00:17:26,203 --> 00:17:28,072
I feel like I can't breathe,

377
00:17:28,074 --> 00:17:30,744
and I am tempted
to crack you open

378
00:17:30,746 --> 00:17:33,717
and suck the air
right out of your lungs.

379
00:17:34,637 --> 00:17:37,307
Sheldon, if this is
too much, we can stop.

380
00:17:37,309 --> 00:17:38,392
We're not stopping.

381
00:17:38,394 --> 00:17:40,179
You don't have to
bite my head off.

382
00:17:40,181 --> 00:17:41,766
I apologize.

383
00:17:41,768 --> 00:17:43,152
I j...

384
00:17:43,154 --> 00:17:46,075
I'm plagued
by an internal struggle.

385
00:17:46,077 --> 00:17:47,778
If you would just use
the bucket,

386
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:50,249
you'd be
so much more comfortable.

387
00:17:50,251 --> 00:17:53,372
My struggle is emotional.

388
00:17:53,374 --> 00:17:55,126
Oh. Is it Amy?

389
00:17:55,128 --> 00:17:57,297
It's dark matter.

390
00:17:57,299 --> 00:17:59,534
When I entered
the field

391
00:17:59,536 --> 00:18:01,973
of string theory,
I was a prodigy.

392
00:18:01,975 --> 00:18:06,064
I rose to a position of respect,

393
00:18:06,066 --> 00:18:08,452
and I assumed
my career would continue

394
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:10,523
on that upward trajectory.

395
00:18:10,525 --> 00:18:13,329
Now here I am in my 30s,

396
00:18:13,331 --> 00:18:16,335
I'm back at square one.

397
00:18:16,337 --> 00:18:19,859
And, frankly, it's frightening.

398
00:18:20,963 --> 00:18:24,317
Sheldon, you know
what I think of when I'm scared?

399
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:25,687
Voyager.

400
00:18:25,689 --> 00:18:27,908
Voyager the space probe

401
00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:31,699
or Voyager
the Star Trek TV show?

402
00:18:31,701 --> 00:18:33,169
The space probe.

403
00:18:33,171 --> 00:18:34,789
Good.
Because I am too hot and tired

404
00:18:34,791 --> 00:18:38,045
to go on about how much
I hate Voyager the TV show.

405
00:18:39,266 --> 00:18:41,051
By the time
I was born,

406
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,472
Voyager 1's mission
was supposed to be over.

407
00:18:43,474 --> 00:18:44,608
It had seen

408
00:18:44,611 --> 00:18:47,698
Jupiter and Saturn
and all their moons,

409
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:50,069
but it kept going.

410
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,875
When I left India for America,

411
00:18:52,877 --> 00:18:55,546
I was never more scared
in my life.

412
00:18:55,548 --> 00:18:57,918
I had no idea
what lay ahead.

413
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,691
Whenever I feel that way,
I think about how...

414
00:19:00,693 --> 00:19:04,598
Voyager is still out there

415
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,237
somewhere
beyond our solar system,

416
00:19:07,239 --> 00:19:10,109
going further than anyone
ever thought it could.

417
00:19:13,417 --> 00:19:16,204
Don't leave!
You can do this!

418
00:19:18,044 --> 00:19:20,096
Sheldon,
is everything okay?

419
00:19:20,098 --> 00:19:21,633
It's too late for Koothrappali.

420
00:19:21,635 --> 00:19:22,651
Let's go!

421
00:19:25,108 --> 00:19:28,980
11 minutes.
That's longer than I thought.

422
00:19:29,817 --> 00:19:31,285
They're in my shirt!

423
00:19:42,278 --> 00:19:44,615
Okay, this is definitely
the most fun thing we can do

424
00:19:44,617 --> 00:19:45,784
with the money.

425
00:19:48,625 --> 00:19:52,748
I've never done it on
a big old pile of cash before.

426
00:19:54,754 --> 00:19:59,344
"Me neither, Leonard.
It's my first time, too."

427
00:20:02,820 --> 00:20:05,941
I'm so sorry I made you feel bad
about the money stuff.

428
00:20:05,943 --> 00:20:09,130
It's okay.
No, it's not okay.

429
00:20:09,132 --> 00:20:11,451
I want us to be
partners, equals.

430
00:20:11,453 --> 00:20:14,207
Adults in a mature
relationship.

431
00:20:14,209 --> 00:20:16,378
I want that, too.

432
00:20:17,767 --> 00:20:19,969
Now, let's talk about
your birthday party.

433
00:20:19,971 --> 00:20:22,473
Ooh, laser tag, laser tag.
Oh!

434
00:20:24,529 --> 00:20:26,899
Do you really need me
to transcribe this?

435
00:20:26,901 --> 00:20:28,202
You're not doing it for me.

436
00:20:28,204 --> 00:20:30,206
You're doing it
for future generations

437
00:20:30,208 --> 00:20:32,878
who will benefit
from my struggle.

438
00:20:34,099 --> 00:20:36,585
Sheldon's Mine Simulation Log,

439
00:20:36,587 --> 00:20:39,090
entry four:

440
00:20:39,092 --> 00:20:42,931
my Kit Kat has melted.

441
00:20:42,933 --> 00:20:46,438
All is lost.

442
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,993
You call yourself
a friend?

443
00:20:48,995 --> 00:20:50,196
I was trying

444
00:20:50,198 --> 00:20:52,533
to help you!
And at the first sign of trouble

445
00:20:52,535 --> 00:20:57,711
you ran away, leaving me
to fend off a family of rats!

446
00:20:57,713 --> 00:20:59,949
You're a completely selfish
human being

447
00:20:59,951 --> 00:21:03,790
and a... and a physical
and a moral coward!

448
00:21:05,094 --> 00:21:07,196
His statements of the obvious
continue to annoy.

449
00:21:07,198 --> 00:21:13,705
