1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:02,718
You know,
downward-facing dog

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,919
comes from the Sanskrit phrase
adho mukha shvanasana.

3
00:00:06,921 --> 00:00:08,952
Oh, that's beautiful.
What does it mean?

4
00:00:08,954 --> 00:00:11,518
"Downward-facing dog."

5
00:00:12,454 --> 00:00:14,152
Yeah, I guess they
don't have Sanskrit

6
00:00:14,154 --> 00:00:16,952
for "butts up and heads down."

7
00:00:16,954 --> 00:00:18,452
Hey, we wrote the Kama Sutra.

8
00:00:18,454 --> 00:00:21,019
If it involves butts,
there's a word for it.

9
00:00:22,054 --> 00:00:24,351
I thought we were getting
breakfast before work.

10
00:00:24,353 --> 00:00:25,885
Oh, right, sorry.

11
00:00:25,887 --> 00:00:27,885
It's my fault. I asked
Penny to do yoga with me.

12
00:00:27,887 --> 00:00:29,985
If you want, I can get
ready in five minutes.

13
00:00:29,987 --> 00:00:32,086
It's cute that you think that.

14
00:00:32,088 --> 00:00:34,385
Don't worry about it.

15
00:00:34,387 --> 00:00:35,385
Hey, can I ask you a favor?

16
00:00:35,387 --> 00:00:36,752
Would you mind taking
Cinnamon for a walk?

17
00:00:36,754 --> 00:00:38,618
Sure.
You're living here for free.

18
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:39,885
I guess I owe you.

19
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:43,585
Bye, Cinnamon.
Be a good girl.

20
00:00:43,587 --> 00:00:45,452
Yeah, bye, sweetie!
Bye!

21
00:00:45,454 --> 00:00:47,152
Yeah, yeah, bye, Leonard.

22
00:00:48,353 --> 00:00:52,518
Okay, and tree pose.

23
00:00:54,287 --> 00:00:57,351
Well, she's done.

24
00:01:22,069 --> 00:01:27,563
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man

25
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,552
Things have been going
really well

26
00:01:29,554 --> 00:01:31,753
with the infinite
resistance gyroscope.

27
00:01:31,755 --> 00:01:33,686
That's great. How so?

28
00:01:33,688 --> 00:01:35,219
Oh, the project is classified.

29
00:01:35,221 --> 00:01:36,319
I can't tell you.

30
00:01:36,321 --> 00:01:40,486
Oh, I suppose I could redact
the classified parts.

31
00:01:40,488 --> 00:01:44,419
All right, um, I came up
with an elegant solution

32
00:01:44,421 --> 00:01:47,786
to the...

33
00:01:47,788 --> 00:01:49,019
I used the...

34
00:01:50,988 --> 00:01:54,252
And then I...

35
00:01:57,154 --> 00:01:58,919
And that did it.

36
00:02:01,321 --> 00:02:03,819
Wow, I wonder
what they're redacting.

37
00:02:05,122 --> 00:02:07,352
Why don't you ask me
what I'm working on?

38
00:02:07,354 --> 00:02:10,486
Oh, very well.
What have you been working on?

39
00:02:10,488 --> 00:02:12,853
And feel free to honk
during the boring parts.

40
00:02:13,688 --> 00:02:15,419
I'm doing some experiments
to show

41
00:02:15,421 --> 00:02:17,252
that the signal
to move a muscle occurs

42
00:02:17,254 --> 00:02:19,386
before you know
you even decided to move it.

43
00:02:19,388 --> 00:02:21,753
W... So you're attempting
to pinpoint

44
00:02:21,755 --> 00:02:24,452
where consciousness resides
in the brain.

45
00:02:24,454 --> 00:02:26,786
Yes, I'm trying to figure out
the nanometer

46
00:02:26,788 --> 00:02:29,219
and the attosecond,
precisely where and when

47
00:02:29,221 --> 00:02:30,986
an event of awareness
takes place.

48
00:02:30,988 --> 00:02:33,519
Well, what do you know?

49
00:02:33,521 --> 00:02:36,019
Here I was, waiting
to be bored with biology,

50
00:02:36,021 --> 00:02:38,886
and instead you tickle
my intellectual fancy.

51
00:02:38,888 --> 00:02:42,386
Which, unlike my body,
is an okay place to tickle.

52
00:02:43,855 --> 00:02:45,285
You know, when I was six,

53
00:02:45,287 --> 00:02:48,053
I wanted to marry the gorilla
from Good Night, Gorilla.

54
00:02:49,354 --> 00:02:50,953
Maybe I was onto something.

55
00:02:53,388 --> 00:02:56,419
Gentlemen,
the most interesting thing

56
00:02:56,421 --> 00:02:58,152
just happened with this spoon.

57
00:02:58,154 --> 00:03:01,053
Unless it was singing
"Be Our Guest," I doubt it.

58
00:03:03,121 --> 00:03:05,085
Yeah, I picked it up
without thinking about it.

59
00:03:05,087 --> 00:03:07,285
Which raises a
neuroscientific question,

60
00:03:07,287 --> 00:03:09,586
when did I decide
to pick it up?

61
00:03:09,588 --> 00:03:11,986
The bigger question is, what are
you gonna eat with that spoon?

62
00:03:11,988 --> 00:03:14,419
You didn't get any food.

63
00:03:15,254 --> 00:03:17,319
He does raise
an interesting point.

64
00:03:17,321 --> 00:03:20,886
Amy is studying the time lag
between intent and awareness,

65
00:03:20,888 --> 00:03:22,285
and I realized
that applies

66
00:03:22,287 --> 00:03:24,419
to the measurement problem
in quantum mechanics.

67
00:03:24,421 --> 00:03:26,819
Now, I recognize there
will be a time lag

68
00:03:26,821 --> 00:03:29,085
between me saying that and
you Googling what it means,

69
00:03:29,087 --> 00:03:30,319
so I'll wait.

70
00:03:31,554 --> 00:03:33,419
I understand it, Sheldon.

71
00:03:33,421 --> 00:03:35,052
Yeah, me, too.

72
00:03:35,054 --> 00:03:36,185
I'm sorry, I spaced.

73
00:03:36,187 --> 00:03:38,652
Are we still talking
about the spoon?

74
00:03:39,588 --> 00:03:41,319
It's nice to see you
taking an interest

75
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:42,386
in Amy's work.

76
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:43,652
Well, don't get me wrong.

77
00:03:43,654 --> 00:03:45,586
Neurobiology's nothing more
than the science

78
00:03:45,588 --> 00:03:46,919
of gray squishy stuff.

79
00:03:46,921 --> 00:03:48,986
But, you know,
when it connects to physics,

80
00:03:48,988 --> 00:03:51,652
gas up the Ford, Martha,
we're going for a drive.

81
00:03:55,187 --> 00:03:57,119
So did you
confront Jennifer?

82
00:03:57,121 --> 00:03:58,652
I was going to,
but she called in sick.

83
00:03:58,654 --> 00:04:00,319
And guess who else
called in sick.

84
00:04:00,321 --> 00:04:01,552
Paul.
Paul.

85
00:04:01,554 --> 00:04:03,285
Who's Paul?

86
00:04:03,287 --> 00:04:05,285
Oh, you met him at the
office Christmas party.

87
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:06,152
He's married to Nancy.

88
00:04:06,154 --> 00:04:08,953
Oh, sure.
Wait, Nancy?

89
00:04:08,955 --> 00:04:10,953
I bet Jennifer gets
a promotion out of this,

90
00:04:10,955 --> 00:04:13,452
which is so unfair because I
work twice as hard as she does.

91
00:04:13,454 --> 00:04:15,119
Don't worry,
Jerry won't be fooled

92
00:04:15,121 --> 00:04:17,352
by that type of behavior.

93
00:04:20,654 --> 00:04:22,886
Jerry?

94
00:04:22,888 --> 00:04:25,919
It didn't work for Randy,
it didn't work for Tina,

95
00:04:25,921 --> 00:04:27,819
it sure as hell isn't
gonna work for Jennifer.

96
00:04:27,821 --> 00:04:30,018
Well, I hope not.
I just hate when

97
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:31,719
people play
those kinds of games.

98
00:04:32,987 --> 00:04:34,319
Tina?

99
00:04:34,321 --> 00:04:37,386
With your sales record,
you have nothing to worry about.

100
00:04:37,388 --> 00:04:39,085
Mm.

101
00:04:39,087 --> 00:04:42,853
I went to your office
Christmas party?

102
00:04:45,654 --> 00:04:48,486
You know, I like harp lessons,

103
00:04:48,488 --> 00:04:51,919
but I'm thinking of switching
to elevator repair lessons.

104
00:04:53,654 --> 00:04:54,586
What are you working on?

105
00:04:54,588 --> 00:04:57,285
I was thinking about
your experiment

106
00:04:57,287 --> 00:04:59,219
on the neuroscience
of decision making,

107
00:04:59,221 --> 00:05:00,552
and I realized,

108
00:05:00,554 --> 00:05:02,586
if we connect it
to the measurement problem

109
00:05:02,588 --> 00:05:04,552
in quantum mechanics,
we have a chance

110
00:05:04,554 --> 00:05:06,185
to disprove the role
of consciousness

111
00:05:06,187 --> 00:05:08,119
in the Copenhagen
Interpretation.

112
00:05:08,121 --> 00:05:11,452
Wait, are you saying if
we combine my experiment

113
00:05:11,454 --> 00:05:12,652
with your calculations,

114
00:05:12,654 --> 00:05:14,719
we can determine
the precise moment in time

115
00:05:14,721 --> 00:05:16,586
when the wave function
collapses?

116
00:05:16,588 --> 00:05:18,419
It could be the most
inspired combination

117
00:05:18,421 --> 00:05:20,486
since I mixed red Icee
into my blue Icee.

118
00:05:23,554 --> 00:05:25,686
It was like drinking
2/7 of the rainbow.

119
00:05:27,654 --> 00:05:28,952
Sheldon, this is
really interesting.

120
00:05:28,954 --> 00:05:32,252
Yeah, and this one won't
stain my teeth purple.

121
00:05:32,254 --> 00:05:34,052
You know, we've never
collaborated

122
00:05:34,054 --> 00:05:35,519
professionally before.

123
00:05:35,521 --> 00:05:37,519
Are you worried it might
affect our relationship?

124
00:05:37,521 --> 00:05:39,753
That is a valid point.

125
00:05:39,755 --> 00:05:42,285
Perhaps we should establish
some ground rules.

126
00:05:42,287 --> 00:05:43,753
Well, that would
make me feel better.

127
00:05:43,755 --> 00:05:44,853
All right, let's
start right now.

128
00:05:44,855 --> 00:05:47,619
Uh, rule number one,
no using sexuality

129
00:05:47,621 --> 00:05:49,486
to get your way.

130
00:05:50,554 --> 00:05:52,185
That's a ridiculous rule.

131
00:05:52,187 --> 00:05:53,985
Is it?

132
00:06:00,421 --> 00:06:03,152
Okay, how is that?

133
00:06:08,821 --> 00:06:10,486
I can actually feel the toxins

134
00:06:10,488 --> 00:06:13,185
being pulled out of my skin.

135
00:06:13,187 --> 00:06:16,018
Well, this is
a moisturizing mask.

136
00:06:16,020 --> 00:06:18,285
Oh, well, then I can
actually feel

137
00:06:18,287 --> 00:06:21,985
the moisture going into my skin.

138
00:06:21,987 --> 00:06:23,252
Hey, I hope you don't mind,
I used a little

139
00:06:23,254 --> 00:06:24,686
of your eye cream
last night.

140
00:06:24,688 --> 00:06:27,219
I thought someone looked
brighter and tighter.

141
00:06:33,121 --> 00:06:35,885
I'd still like to know
who Jerry is.

142
00:06:35,887 --> 00:06:37,552
Don't worry about it.
Hey, after this,

143
00:06:37,554 --> 00:06:39,252
how about we all go out
and do something together?

144
00:06:39,254 --> 00:06:41,619
That would be great.
Thank you.

145
00:06:41,621 --> 00:06:42,918
You want to go shopping?

146
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,252
Ooh, yes. Fun.

147
00:06:45,254 --> 00:06:46,985
Or we could do something
we'll all enjoy,

148
00:06:46,987 --> 00:06:48,419
like play a board game.

149
00:07:25,087 --> 00:07:27,519
I believe I've
made some progress

150
00:07:27,521 --> 00:07:29,686
on our ground rules.
Oh, good.

151
00:07:29,688 --> 00:07:31,319
What are they?
Okay, uh,

152
00:07:31,321 --> 00:07:33,219
number one:
in matters of physics,

153
00:07:33,221 --> 00:07:34,818
I have the final say.

154
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:37,852
In matters of neuroscience,
you have the final say.

155
00:07:37,854 --> 00:07:39,119
Unless I disagree.

156
00:07:39,121 --> 00:07:41,319
Oh, here.

157
00:07:41,321 --> 00:07:44,419
Number two: when we publish,
my name goes first.

158
00:07:44,421 --> 00:07:47,486
Oh, subsequently, if we win any
awards, I speak first.

159
00:07:47,488 --> 00:07:50,085
I don't want to be talking when
the orchestra plays us off.

160
00:07:50,087 --> 00:07:52,352
Can I see that?

161
00:07:52,354 --> 00:07:53,852
Oh, of course.

162
00:07:59,521 --> 00:08:02,085
I'll get that back.

163
00:08:02,087 --> 00:08:03,719
Like all my underwear,
that notebook says

164
00:08:03,721 --> 00:08:05,818
"Property of Sheldon Cooper."

165
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:08,552
Sheldon, if we're
gonna have ground rules,

166
00:08:08,554 --> 00:08:09,985
I'll tell you
the first ground rule...

167
00:08:09,987 --> 00:08:11,319
I make the ground rules.

168
00:08:11,321 --> 00:08:14,152
I'd write that down,
but I can't now, can I?

169
00:08:17,854 --> 00:08:20,052
I mean, they didn't
say anything,

170
00:08:20,054 --> 00:08:21,552
but I just kind of
felt like I was being

171
00:08:21,554 --> 00:08:23,018
a weird third wheel.

172
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:26,619
Huh, so you can tell
what that feels like.

173
00:08:26,621 --> 00:08:28,119
Interesting.

174
00:08:29,388 --> 00:08:31,785
Anyway, I figured I can
hang out with my friends

175
00:08:31,787 --> 00:08:33,252
and have fun, too.

176
00:08:33,254 --> 00:08:35,952
Well, if your idea of fun
is riding in a minivan

177
00:08:35,954 --> 00:08:37,018
to Target for diapers,

178
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:39,085
things are about
to get nuts.

179
00:08:40,421 --> 00:08:42,252
Oh, it's just nice
to be with people

180
00:08:42,254 --> 00:08:43,818
who are happy to have me around.

181
00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:45,619
Isn't that right, Halley?

182
00:08:48,954 --> 00:08:51,552
Well, at least someone had
the courage to say it.

183
00:08:53,987 --> 00:08:56,219
Thank you, you are
a good citizen.

184
00:08:56,221 --> 00:08:58,486
Told you.

185
00:08:59,621 --> 00:09:00,985
Go ahead, throw
my underwear out the window.

186
00:09:00,987 --> 00:09:02,152
Same thing's gonna happen.

187
00:09:02,154 --> 00:09:04,552
Terrific.

188
00:09:04,554 --> 00:09:06,085
Do you want to hear our
new set of ground rules?

189
00:09:06,087 --> 00:09:07,352
Fire away.

190
00:09:07,354 --> 00:09:10,519
Number one:
we're on the same team,

191
00:09:10,521 --> 00:09:11,752
we're not in competition.

192
00:09:11,754 --> 00:09:15,686
That's smart, because
0.

193
00:09:16,854 --> 00:09:19,718
Number two: disagreements
can happen politely.

194
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,319
There's no need
to call an idea stupid.

195
00:09:22,321 --> 00:09:25,785
Aw, someone drew
a penis in it.

196
00:09:26,887 --> 00:09:28,818
Are you listening?

197
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:30,185
I'm sorry,
go ahead.

198
00:09:30,187 --> 00:09:31,386
Number three.

199
00:09:31,388 --> 00:09:34,018
To avoid getting frustrated,
we take built-in breaks

200
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:36,352
and reward our successes
with a small treat.

201
00:09:36,354 --> 00:09:37,952
Ooh, that sounds fun.

202
00:09:37,954 --> 00:09:39,852
Now, we're talking about
real treats, right?

203
00:09:39,854 --> 00:09:43,219
Not Bible verses like my
mother used to give me.

204
00:09:43,221 --> 00:09:45,586
Whatever you want.

205
00:09:45,588 --> 00:09:48,018
So, shall we get to work?

206
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:50,152
Biology and physics
coming together...

207
00:09:50,154 --> 00:09:53,018
this is like the peanut
butter cup of the mind.

208
00:09:53,020 --> 00:09:55,586
Oh, I know what I
want my treat to be!

209
00:10:39,887 --> 00:10:42,052
Wow.
Look at that.

210
00:10:42,054 --> 00:10:44,752
Yes, this is remarkable.

211
00:10:44,754 --> 00:10:47,552
So we're agreed:
it's complete garbage.

212
00:10:50,454 --> 00:10:52,252
By the way,
your name can go first.

213
00:11:02,282 --> 00:11:04,190
I mean, I'm glad
they're getting along,

214
00:11:04,191 --> 00:11:06,056
but it's starting to
make me uncomfortable.

215
00:11:06,058 --> 00:11:08,456
Well, are you worried he's
like another man in her life?

216
00:11:08,458 --> 00:11:11,423
A little, until I saw them
in matching tops, so...

217
00:11:12,924 --> 00:11:15,223
Nice. 174 diapers.

218
00:11:15,225 --> 00:11:17,423
That ought
to get us to Wednesday.

219
00:11:19,291 --> 00:11:21,056
Well, have you talked
to them about it?

220
00:11:21,058 --> 00:11:22,722
Well, what am I
supposed to say...

221
00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:24,289
"Stop having fun without me"?

222
00:11:24,291 --> 00:11:26,956
This one says that
every time I go out.

223
00:11:27,591 --> 00:11:29,589
See? I listen to you.

224
00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:34,056
Look, Raj just
gets along with women.

225
00:11:34,058 --> 00:11:35,256
I-I know,

226
00:11:35,258 --> 00:11:36,789
but he was my friend first.

227
00:11:36,791 --> 00:11:38,223
It's like she's stealing him

228
00:11:38,225 --> 00:11:39,856
and they're just
having the best time

229
00:11:39,858 --> 00:11:42,722
doing all their dumb
girly stuff together.

230
00:11:42,724 --> 00:11:43,889
You sure you don't fit in?

231
00:11:43,891 --> 00:11:46,123
You sound like
a catty bitch to me.

232
00:11:52,058 --> 00:11:53,722
I don't know where
we went wrong.

233
00:11:53,724 --> 00:11:56,189
Yeah, the math is so inelegant.

234
00:11:56,191 --> 00:11:59,289
I'm not even sure
it makes sense.

235
00:11:59,291 --> 00:12:01,856
Well, don't give up.
Maybe we can fix it.

236
00:12:07,591 --> 00:12:09,589
Can you stop breathing
so loud?

237
00:12:09,591 --> 00:12:12,722
I can hear your nose
whistling.

238
00:12:12,724 --> 00:12:15,856
I can hear your face
talking, so we're even.

239
00:12:21,091 --> 00:12:23,822
All right,
either blow your nose

240
00:12:23,824 --> 00:12:25,522
or teach it to play
"Camptown Races."

241
00:12:27,058 --> 00:12:29,289
Fine. Fine.
You want me to blow my nose?

242
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:30,589
Here, I'll blow it.

243
00:12:36,425 --> 00:12:37,789
Better?

244
00:12:37,791 --> 00:12:40,123
No, I can still hear it.

245
00:12:40,125 --> 00:12:42,956
Oh, wait, that's me.
Never mind, it's fine.

246
00:12:42,958 --> 00:12:44,189
You know, you're
exhausting.

247
00:12:44,191 --> 00:12:45,922
I knew working together
was a bad idea.

248
00:12:45,924 --> 00:12:47,656
Hold on.

249
00:12:47,658 --> 00:12:50,622
I see what's wrong here.
We did the propagation only to

250
00:12:50,624 --> 00:12:53,256
the occipital lobe, not
to the prefrontal cortex.

251
00:12:53,258 --> 00:12:56,789
That would mean that
this delayed parameter

252
00:12:56,791 --> 00:12:59,922
should be increased
250 milliseconds.

253
00:12:59,924 --> 00:13:02,456
Oh, that is much better.

254
00:13:02,458 --> 00:13:05,056
Yeah, boy, if good ideas
came out of your brain the way

255
00:13:05,058 --> 00:13:07,223
mucus comes out of your nose,
we'd be in good shape.

256
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:14,256
Now, take a sip,

257
00:13:14,258 --> 00:13:16,123
swirl it around
your mouth,

258
00:13:16,125 --> 00:13:17,922
and try to notice
the flavors,

259
00:13:17,924 --> 00:13:21,256
the tannins,
the textures.

260
00:13:23,991 --> 00:13:24,989
Well?

261
00:13:24,991 --> 00:13:26,789
I probably should have

262
00:13:26,791 --> 00:13:29,023
spit out my gum first.

263
00:13:33,191 --> 00:13:35,555
Yeah. You know,

264
00:13:35,557 --> 00:13:37,390
the last couple of weeks
have been pretty rough,

265
00:13:37,392 --> 00:13:38,756
but, uh, staying
here with you guys

266
00:13:38,758 --> 00:13:40,363
has really helped take
my mind off of it.

267
00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:41,090
Mm. Well,

268
00:13:41,091 --> 00:13:43,223
we've loved having you around.
Right, sweetie?

269
00:13:45,691 --> 00:13:47,256
Leonard?

270
00:13:47,258 --> 00:13:49,056
Yeah, when
did he leave?

271
00:13:49,058 --> 00:13:51,423
Yeah, that's rude.

272
00:13:53,557 --> 00:13:55,922
You know, it's nice
to spend time with people

273
00:13:55,924 --> 00:13:59,522
who don't talk about work like
it's some kind of soap opera.

274
00:13:59,524 --> 00:14:02,455
Jennifer still trying
to sleep her way to the top?

275
00:14:04,325 --> 00:14:06,189
Yeah.

276
00:14:06,191 --> 00:14:09,522
You should be happy someone
wants to do the stuff with Penny

277
00:14:09,524 --> 00:14:10,756
you don't want to.

278
00:14:10,758 --> 00:14:12,483
Yeah, I wish I had that
with Howard.

279
00:14:12,507 --> 00:14:13,324
Wait.

280
00:14:13,325 --> 00:14:15,789
What? What do I make you do?

281
00:14:15,791 --> 00:14:17,689
Let's see:
the magic store,

282
00:14:17,691 --> 00:14:19,223
the Doctor Who
convention,

283
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:22,422
the National Belt Buckle
Collector's meet and greet.

284
00:14:22,424 --> 00:14:25,522
It said right there
on the invitation,

285
00:14:25,524 --> 00:14:26,622
"Buckle up for fun."

286
00:14:26,624 --> 00:14:28,323
It's not my fault
you didn't listen.

287
00:14:29,924 --> 00:14:32,256
I'm sure I'm overreacting.

288
00:14:32,258 --> 00:14:34,256
You're entitled
to feel how you feel.

289
00:14:34,258 --> 00:14:36,455
If you don't like it,
you should just talk to her.

290
00:14:36,457 --> 00:14:38,822
I don't want to sound
like a jealous baby.

291
00:14:38,824 --> 00:14:41,656
Oh, then maybe
you shouldn't talk to her.

292
00:14:43,924 --> 00:14:45,056
You know, I
had a feeling

293
00:14:45,058 --> 00:14:46,656
you were using the wrong
computational model,

294
00:14:46,658 --> 00:14:48,822
but I didn't say anything
'cause you're so sensitive.

295
00:14:48,824 --> 00:14:50,489
Just because
I am easily bothered

296
00:14:50,491 --> 00:14:52,922
by light, heat, sound, smell
and the way birds look at me

297
00:14:52,924 --> 00:14:54,223
does not mean
I'm sensitive!

298
00:14:56,491 --> 00:14:57,956
Hey,

299
00:14:57,958 --> 00:15:00,455
I wonder what kind of success
we'd have

300
00:15:00,457 --> 00:15:03,589
if we defined measurement
as the first moment

301
00:15:03,591 --> 00:15:06,323
that an action potential
is seen by the visual cortex.

302
00:15:06,325 --> 00:15:10,289
That is a daring
and insightful solution.

303
00:15:10,291 --> 00:15:11,822
We're finally making progress.

304
00:15:11,824 --> 00:15:13,656
I wish we could do it
without fighting.

305
00:15:13,658 --> 00:15:17,656
What if the fighting is the
reason we're making progress?

306
00:15:18,858 --> 00:15:21,756
I suppose it's conceivable
that the hormones associated

307
00:15:21,758 --> 00:15:23,656
with our fight-or-flight
response

308
00:15:23,658 --> 00:15:26,123
could be sharpening
our cognitive processes.

309
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:28,189
Well, if that's the case,

310
00:15:28,191 --> 00:15:32,089
then your grandparents mumble
and have bad posture.

311
00:15:33,858 --> 00:15:35,989
How dare you speak that way
about my Grammy...

312
00:15:35,991 --> 00:15:37,622
hey, wait a second. Wait.

313
00:15:40,691 --> 00:15:44,789
Delta "T" could equal
alpha sub-zero.

314
00:15:45,557 --> 00:15:49,123
It seems we have
a choice to make.

315
00:15:49,125 --> 00:15:52,656
Abandon all ground rules
in the name of science,

316
00:15:52,658 --> 00:15:56,889
or... give up collaborating for
the sake of our relationship.

317
00:15:56,891 --> 00:16:00,156
There's only one
clear choice.

318
00:16:00,158 --> 00:16:02,956
Science it is.
No, you bonehead!

319
00:16:02,958 --> 00:16:05,422
Name-calling,
that is perfect.

320
00:16:05,424 --> 00:16:07,056
Now, when I get
to this equation here,

321
00:16:07,058 --> 00:16:08,389
really let me have it.
You know?

322
00:16:08,391 --> 00:16:10,389
I-If it helps,
I'm not the sharpest dresser.

323
00:16:13,891 --> 00:16:17,689
Anyway, I know it's silly,
but since Raj moved in,

324
00:16:17,691 --> 00:16:19,656
I've been feeling
a little left out.

325
00:16:22,491 --> 00:16:26,023
Well, sweetie,
that's crazy.

326
00:16:26,025 --> 00:16:28,189
No, no, Penny,
don't dismiss his feelings.

327
00:16:28,191 --> 00:16:29,123
Thank you. I just feel...

328
00:16:29,125 --> 00:16:30,922
Hang on,
I'm not saying

329
00:16:30,924 --> 00:16:32,589
that his feelings
aren't crazy.

330
00:16:32,591 --> 00:16:34,256
I just don't want him
to think that

331
00:16:34,258 --> 00:16:35,589
this isn't
a safe place.

332
00:16:35,591 --> 00:16:36,856
Well, to be truthful...

333
00:16:36,858 --> 00:16:38,223
Well, why wouldn't
this be a safe place? I mean,

334
00:16:38,225 --> 00:16:40,355
he's surrounded by his wife
and one of his best friends.

335
00:16:40,357 --> 00:16:41,856
I don't want to
speak for Leonard.

336
00:16:41,858 --> 00:16:42,889
Thank you. I...

337
00:16:42,891 --> 00:16:43,889
But when
you're insecure,

338
00:16:43,891 --> 00:16:45,489
no amount
of external validation

339
00:16:45,491 --> 00:16:47,679
can ever make you
feel safe.

340
00:16:47,703 --> 00:16:49,455
Yeah, you're right. You know,
you're really sensitive

341
00:16:49,457 --> 00:16:51,056
about this
kind of stuff.

342
00:16:51,058 --> 00:16:53,989
I'm a good listener.
Yeah.

343
00:16:53,991 --> 00:16:55,756
Hey, Olsen twins...

344
00:16:57,591 --> 00:16:58,722
What?

345
00:16:58,724 --> 00:17:01,156
Well, I-I mean, I'm
sitting right here.

346
00:17:01,158 --> 00:17:02,522
You're talking about my feelings

347
00:17:02,524 --> 00:17:04,789
and somehow leaving me
out of the conversation.

348
00:17:04,791 --> 00:17:07,156
I'm sorry.
What did you want to say?

349
00:17:07,158 --> 00:17:10,223
I don't know,
you pretty much covered it.

350
00:17:17,758 --> 00:17:19,355
Heigh!

351
00:17:21,128 --> 00:17:23,492
Can you
read them back?

352
00:17:23,494 --> 00:17:25,625
"Revised ground
rule number one:

353
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:29,258
We are on the same team,
but it is a competition."

354
00:17:31,128 --> 00:17:32,425
Excellent. Excellent.

355
00:17:32,427 --> 00:17:35,093
And on a related point,
you're going down, punk.

356
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:38,325
"Revised ground rule number two:

357
00:17:38,327 --> 00:17:41,093
"There are definitely
stupid questions.

00:17:41,095 --> 00:17:42,992
"And those who ask them
can be told so

00:17:42,994 --> 00:17:45,859
right to their stupid face."

360
00:17:46,728 --> 00:17:49,192
I love that one.

361
00:17:49,194 --> 00:17:51,625
Thanks, babe.

362
00:17:51,627 --> 00:17:54,192
"Number three:

363
00:17:54,194 --> 00:17:56,425
"Fair topics for
insult include

364
00:17:56,427 --> 00:17:58,959
"educational pedigree,
scientific field,

365
00:17:58,961 --> 00:18:03,159
intellectual prowess,
and mamas."

366
00:18:03,161 --> 00:18:05,792
Yeah, that list is strong.

367
00:18:06,398 --> 00:18:09,463
Like your mother's urge
to be promiscuous with sailors.
