00:00Knight to Queen's Bishop, five.
00:04Oh, very nice.
00:05What's Leonard gonna do?
00:06Does he give up the pawn or does he give up the position?
00:08Let's find out.
00:10Leonard?
00:11Ready?
00:12Ready.
00:14Go.
00:39Dammit, I slipped.
00:41Too bad.
00:41You know the rules of secret agent laser-obstacle chess.
00:46Leonard died again, Sheldon.
00:47You're a...
00:48Despite my deep love of chess, lasers, and aerosol disinfectant, I must forfeit.
00:53Why?
00:54Because it's almost 11 o'clock.
00:56So?
00:57So Penny has a don't knock on my door before 11 o'clock
01:00or I punch you in the throat rule.
01:06Hey, you know what would be a great idea?
01:08We get some girls over here and play laser obstacle strip chess.
01:14Believe me, Howard, any girl who would be willing to play that,
01:16you don't want to see naked.
01:20You underestimate me.
01:29Penny? Penny? Penny?
01:33Hey, Sheldon.
01:36It's 11 a.m.
01:37I know. You're safe.
01:40This package came while you were at work.
01:42Oh, great. My rhinestones. Thank you.
01:44Excuse me.
01:44What?
01:45You have to sign this.
01:47What is it?
01:48When I signed for the package,
01:50I was deputized by the United Parcel Service
01:52and entrusted with its final delivery.
01:54I now need you to acknowledge receipt of the package
01:56so that I'm fully indemnified and no longer liable.
02:00Sheldon, it's just a box of rhinestones.
02:02Well, the contents are irrelevant.
02:03Illegal bailment has been created.
02:05Does that mean nothing to you?
02:07It means nothing to anybody.
02:10Come here. Let me show you what I'm doing.
02:12Bailment describes a relationship in common law
02:15where a physical possession of personal property, or chattels,
02:19is transferred from one person, the bailer,
02:21to another person, the bailer.
02:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:23Look, look, look. I started a business.
02:26Obviously not a cleaning business.
02:30No, I'm making flower barrettes.
02:32See?
02:33I call them penny blossoms.
02:34I made one for myself,
02:35and then all the girls at work wanted one,
02:37and then I showed some to this lady
02:38who runs a shop in Old Town.
02:39She sells cards and homemade jewelry.
02:41She said she wanted to sell them.
02:42I said okay,
02:42and in one week, I made $156.
02:45Good for you.
02:47Sign here.
02:50Sheldon, don't you get it?
02:51If this takes off,
02:52I won't have to be a waitress anymore.
02:54But then who will bring me my cheeseburger on Tuesday nights?
02:58Another waitress?
02:59What's her name?
03:01I don't know.
03:02And you're going to let her handle my food?
03:05Nancy.
03:05Her name is Nancy.
03:07I think you're just making that up.
03:10Sheldon, I'm sorry about your hamburger, okay?
03:11I just don't want to be a waitress for the rest of my life.
03:14Cheeseburger?
03:14I get a cheeseburger.
03:16Fine.
03:17Cheeseburger.
03:17Maybe I'd be better off with Nancy.
03:20So, what do you think?
03:22I mean, this could be a business, right?
03:25How many of these can you make a day?
03:27About 20.
03:28And how much profit do you make per penny blossom?
03:32I don't know, like 50 cents?
03:33I'm not sure.
03:34No, of course you're not.
03:35All right.
03:38Ten dollars a day times five days a week times 52 weeks a year is $2,600.
03:44That's all?
03:45Before taxes.
03:46Well, I don't have to pay taxes on this stuff.
03:49I believe the Internal Revenue Service would strongly disagree.
03:53But if you took advantage of modern marketing techniques and you optimized your manufacturing process,
03:58you might be able to make this a viable business.
04:01And you know about that stuff?
04:03Penny.
04:04Penny.
04:07I'm a physicist.
04:09I have a working knowledge of the entire universe and everything it contains.
04:16Who's Radiohead?
04:19Oh.
04:30I have a working knowledge of the important things in the universe.
04:35Good luck.
04:36Sheldon, hold on.
04:38Could you maybe show me how to make more money with this?
04:42Of course I could.
04:44So, wait.
04:46Will you?
04:51Just to be clear here, you're asking for my assistance.
04:56Yes.
04:57And you understand that that will involve me telling you what to do?
05:02I understand.
05:04And you're not allowed to be sarcastic or snide to me while I'm doing so.
05:10Okay.
05:11Okay.
05:12Good.
05:14Let's begin with the premise that everything you've done up to this point is wrong.
05:21Oh, imagine that.
05:22Sarcasm.
05:23Goodbye.
05:23No, sorry.
05:24Wait.
05:25Please come back.
05:26Our whole universe was in a hot tent state that nearly 14 million years ago expansion started.
05:33Wait.
05:33The earth began to cool.
05:34The autotrophs began to drool.
05:36Neanderthals developed tools.
05:37We built a wall.
05:38We built a pyramid.
05:39Math, science, history unraveling.
05:41And the mystery that all started with a big bang.
05:44Hey!
05:53There.
05:54Done.
05:54All right.
05:5512 minutes and 17 seconds.
05:57Oh.
05:58Pretty good, right?
05:59That's 4.9 penny blossoms per hour.
06:01Based on your cost of materials and your wholesale selling price, you'll effectively be paying yourself $5.19 a day.
06:09A day?
06:10There are children in a sneaker factory in Indonesia who out-earn you.
06:16That just can't be right.
06:18You're questioning my math?
06:19No, sorry.
06:21You'd like me to show my work?
06:22Oh, God, no.
06:22No.
06:23Just please tell me what to do about it.
06:25All right.
06:26Are you familiar with the development that resulted from Honoré Blanc's 1778 use of interchangeable parts?
06:37The assembly line, of course.
06:39Okay.
06:40You know what?
06:40If I'm not allowed to be snide, you're not allowed to be condescending.
06:43That wasn't a part of our original agreement, and I do not agree to it now.
06:47All right, fine.
06:48How are we supposed to set up machines and conveyor belts in my apartment?
06:51You're thinking of the moving assembly line.
06:53An understandable but not excusable mistake.
06:56No.
06:58The moving assembly line.
06:59That was introduced by Henry Ford in 1908.
07:01That innovation is what made possible our modern consumer culture by enabling a low unit cost for manufactured goods.
07:07I guess that isn't one of the topics discussed on your radio head.
07:16Let's go.
07:16We're going to miss the coming attractions.
07:19What's the matter?
07:24I think I bruised a testicle capturing that last pond.
07:37I'm a deep water sailor just come from Hong Kong.
07:41To be way, hey, blow the man down.
07:44If you give me some whiskey, I'll sing you a song.
07:47Give me some time to blow the man down.
07:50Hello?
07:53Hello?
07:54We'll be late after the break of the poop.
07:57To be way, hey, blow the man down.
08:00Or I'll help you along with the toe of my boot.
08:03Give me some time to blow the man down.
08:06What's going on?
08:08I assume you're referring to the sea shanty.
08:11That's a rhythmic work song designed to increase productivity.
08:13Yeah, it's crazy, but it totally works.
08:15Look, we made this penny blossom in under three minutes.
08:18Terrific, but that kind of raises more questions than it answers.
08:23Penny's making hair accessories.
08:25I'm helping her optimize her manufacturing process.
08:28All right, break's over.
08:28Pay attention to orders now, you one and all.
08:31Hold on.
08:32What are you using as a bonding agent?
08:34Hot glue.
08:35You're kidding.
08:35Any of the cyanoacrylates would do a better job.
08:38It won't work.
08:39The flower's too porous.
08:40What if we infused the bottom layer with silicone RTV
08:43to provide a better mounting surface?
08:45Intriguing.
08:47Good question.
08:48What are your marketing and distribution channels?
08:49Well, they're the waitresses at my work
08:51in this cute little shop in Old Town.
08:52Hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush.
08:53Virtually non-existent.
08:56I'm thinking that we set her up
08:57with a hosted turnkey e-commerce system to start.
09:00Why not eliminate the middleman?
09:01We could install a small server farm
09:03with a static IP in her bedroom.
09:04She'll need some kind of industrial cooling system.
09:06Of course, but before we set up
09:08a marketing and distribution infrastructure,
09:10we should finish optimizing the manufacturing process.
09:12To start with, she has a terrible problem
09:14with moisture-induced glitter clump.
09:18Yeah, it's a bitch.
09:22I've seen this before.
09:25Where?
09:26It's a common stripper problem.
09:30They dance, they sweat, they clump.
09:35Ew.
09:37Are you thinking about adding a desiccant
09:39like calcium sulfate?
09:41Actually, I'm thinking about this one stripper named Vega.
09:47But sure, calcium sulfate could work.
09:50Let's think out of the box for a moment.
09:53How about a molecular sieve?
09:56Oh.
09:57I've got a spaghetti strainer in the kitchen.
10:03Wow.
10:08Hey, we could liberate some microporous charcoal
10:10from the chem lab.
10:12Great.
10:13Raj, why don't you and Howard go get the charcoal?
10:15Leonard, why don't you start working
10:16on some preliminary website designs?
10:18I'll make some space in our apartment
10:20so we can move the manufacturing process.
10:22Well, what's wrong with my apartment?
10:24It's not my apartment.
10:26Wait, wait, what am I going to do?
10:27Uh, hey, it's your business.
10:29Do whatever you want.
10:30Oh.
10:33Okay, cool.
10:36I'm going to take a nap.
10:43I'm still tweaking things a little bit,
10:44but this will give you the general idea of the website.
10:52So, what do you guys think?
10:54Uh, pretty much any way I say that
10:57is going to hurt his feelings.
11:03Okay, what's wrong with it?
11:04What's wrong with it?
11:05Not you.
11:06I wasn't asking you.
11:09Penny?
11:10Uh, well, it's a little juvenile.
11:12I mean, it kind of looks like the MySpace page
11:14of a 13-year-old girl.
11:17No, it doesn't.
11:18Oh, please.
11:19Dateline could use it to attract predators.
11:25Penny, this is your enterprise,
11:28so it's ultimately your decision,
11:29but based on the quality of his work,
11:31I'd strongly recommend that we let Leonard go.
11:34You want to fire me?
11:36What I want is irrelevant.
11:38This is Penny's decision.
11:40Penny?
11:42Excuse me, but if I did such a bad job,
11:44then why do we already have orders?
11:45We do?
11:46Uh-huh.
11:47Look.
11:49Mrs. Fiona Fondell from Huntsville, Alabama
11:51has ordered two.
11:52No kidding, two?
11:54Uh-huh.
11:55Look at the comments.
11:57Thank you, Penny Blossoms.
11:58These will be perfect to cover my bald spots.
12:01Aw.
12:04That is so sweet.
12:06Camouflaging bald spots?
12:07It's primarily a male concern.
12:09Perhaps we could expand our market.
12:11Well, how are flower barrettes going to appeal to men?
12:18We add Bluetooth.
12:22Brilliant.
12:22Men love Bluetooth.
12:24Wait a minute, wait a minute.
12:25You want to make a hair barrette with Bluetooth?
12:27Penny, everything is better with Bluetooth.
12:34Holy crap, someone just ordered 1,000 Penny Blossoms.
12:38Get out!
12:40Who needs 1,000 sparkly flower barrettes with rhinestones?
12:43The 5th annual East Rutherford, New Jersey Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Alliance Luau.
12:51Oh, another market to expand into, balding gay men.
12:55And I'll bet lesbians love Bluetooth.
12:59We should get to work.
13:01Wait, wait, wait.
13:01Why does it say One Day Rush?
13:03Since when do we offer a One Day Rush?
13:05Amazon offers One Day Rush.
13:07Yeah, but they don't have to glue the books together.
13:11How the hell are we going to make 1,000 Penny Blossoms in one day?
13:14Don't yell at me.
13:15I'm not manufacturing.
13:16I'm just web design.
13:18Okay, well, I'm going to have to call them and cancel that order.
13:20Excuse me, but was this not your goal?
13:24Financial independence or entrepreneurial brilliance and innovation?
13:28Yeah, my brilliance and innovation, of course, but still.
13:32I just don't see how we can pull this off.
13:34Okay, that right there, that equivocation and self-doubt, that is not the American spirit.
13:40Did Davy Crockett quit at the Alamo?
13:43Did Jim Bowie?
13:44They didn't quit.
13:46They were massacred.
13:48By, like, a gazillion angry Mexicans.
13:54All right, let me put it this way.
13:56Your grocery seats on this one order will be over $3,000 for one night's work.
14:02You guys get started.
14:05What are you doing?
14:06Going online to buy shoes.
14:11She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes.
14:14When she comes?
14:14She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes.
14:17When she comes?
14:18She'll be coming round the mountain.
14:20She'll be coming round the mountain.
14:21You know, if I wanted to spend my Saturday nights doing this, I could have stayed in India.
14:28Oh, stop with the fake third world crap.
14:31Your father's a gynecologist and you had a house full of servants.
14:34You only had four servants.
14:35And two of them were children.
14:40How are we doing?
14:42We have 128 assorted penny blossoms ready to ship.
14:45Oh, God.
14:46We're never going to finish in time.
14:47When she comes.
14:48Hold.
14:49I mean, shut down the boss anyway.
14:50I believe I'm hearing some negativity on the factory floor.
14:56Penny.
14:57Penny, the labor force is a living organism that must be carefully nurtured.
15:01Any counterproductive grumbling must be skillfully headed off by management.
15:05Observe.
15:05Hey!
15:07Less talk.
15:08More work.
15:12Nicely done.
15:14You hear any union talk?
15:16You let me know.
15:19Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.
15:25Someone's in the kitchen I know.
15:28Ho, ho, ho.
15:30Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.
15:34Sheldon.
15:36Sheldon.
15:36God's a soul, my soul, to the company store.
15:43Honey, do you want some coffee?
15:45No, I don't drink coffee.
15:46Come on, but if you don't stay awake, we'll never finish in time.
15:49I'm sorry.
15:50Coffee's out of the question.
15:51When I moved to California, I promised my mother that I wouldn't start doing drugs.
15:55Leonard, help.
15:56Sheldon, we still have 380 of these things to make.
15:59But I have complete faith that you will make them.
16:01Good night.
16:02Leonard.
16:03I didn't know.
16:04But Sheldon, without your insight and leadership, this entire enterprise will surely fail.
16:12You're right, of course.
16:15Here, this will help.
16:19Very well.
16:21But if this leads to opiates or hallucinogenics, you're going to have to answer to my mother.
16:28Look at Planck's constant.
16:30People say that's arbitrary.
16:32That could not be less arbitrary.
16:33If it varied even slightly, life as we know would not exist.
16:37Bam!
16:41Now, now, let's reconsider the entire argument with entropy reversed and effect-proceeding
16:47cause.
16:47So, you are thinking of a universe that's not expanding from the center.
16:51No, it is retreating from a, from a possibility space.
16:55Bam!
16:58This is a space where we are all essentially Alice through the looking glass, standing in
17:03front of the Red Queen, and we're being offered a cracker to quench our thirst.
17:08Bam!
17:10And of course, in another universe, that's how that universe climbed, there's another
17:13shell there.
17:14I should have let him go to bed.
17:16Bam!
17:20I can't believe we actually did it.
17:24One thousand friggin' penny blossoms.
17:28I just want you guys to know I am really grateful for your help, and for every dollar I make,
17:33I'm going to give you 20 cents.
17:35That's your entire profit margin.
17:38That's your entire profit margin.
17:38Oh.
17:39Then never mind.
17:42I'll print out the shipping label.
17:47Uh-oh.
17:49What?
17:50What?
17:50We got an email from the East Rutherford, New Jersey Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender
17:55Alliance.
17:57They want another thousand penny blossoms.
18:00Really?
18:02One day rush.
18:04I really need to take that off the website.
18:08Okay, well, I guess we better get started.
18:11You can't be serious.
18:14Come on, what about the living organism of the workforce, and the American spirit, and Jiminy
18:21Crockett at the Alamo?
18:25Davy Crockett.
18:26Jiminy Crockett was a cricket.
18:28Yes, yes, I know that.
18:30Okay, I'm tired.
18:31I've had like 18 cups of coffee.
18:32The point is, if we all just pull together, we can do this.
18:36Who's with me?
18:41Penny, although you may find it hard to believe, we do have lives.
18:47Leonard?
18:53Sorry.
18:55My apologies to the gay community of East Rutherford, New Jersey.
19:04Zoom, zoom, zoom.
19:11Where's the coffee?
19:13We're all out.
19:17No problem.
19:19I'll be back before this banana hits the ground.
19:23Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
19:25Zoom, zoom, zoom.
19:27Zoom, zoom.
19:28Zoom, zoom, zoom.
19:42Zoom, zoom.
19:49Yes!
19:53Sorry, guys, but secret agent laser obstacle launch is just stupid.
19:58pity.
