00:04Go!
00:06Come on, Raj!
00:07You can do this!
00:08There's no way.
00:09What is happening?
00:10This is an Euler's disk.
00:11It's a physics toy that demonstrates angular momentum,
00:14potential energy, and kinetic energy.
00:15Aw, look at you watching sports.
00:19We're betting to see if Kuthur Pali can hold his breath
00:21longer than the disk can spin.
00:22Its weight and smoothness along with a slight concavity
00:25of the mirror means it can spin for a long time.
00:27But Raj is from India,
00:28which means he's no slouch at holding his breath.
00:32Okay, I want in.
00:34Ten bucks says I'll lose interest
00:35before that thing stops spinning.
00:38Hey, Sheldon, I found a great restaurant for date night.
00:40We're kind of busy right now.
00:42Oh, an Euler's disk. Fun.
00:44You know, we're saying if Raj can hold his breath longer than it.
00:46Oh, immature.
00:49How you doing?
00:51He's not gonna make it.
00:53Yes, he is!
00:54You know, deep sea divers holding their breath for several minutes
00:57have shown elevated markers of a protein that can signal brain damage.
01:01Yeah, see, what's happening here signals brain damage.
01:05Oh, my God, how long does this thing spin for?
01:08Ah, you're interested. You're at ten bucks.
01:11It's slowing down.
01:12Dig deep like when we bet you couldn't fit into Howard's pants.
01:18He's not gonna make it.
01:19Yes, he is!
01:20Come on, Raji, it's like your favorite movie.
01:22You're just waiting to exhale.
01:33Just so you know, my favorite movie is Princess Bride.
01:40Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
01:43that nearly 14 million years ago expansion started way around.
01:48The Earth began to cool.
01:49The autotrophs began to drool.
01:50The Androthals developed tools.
01:52We built a wall.
01:53We built a pyramid.
01:54Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery.
01:56That all started with a big bang.
02:08Hey!
02:09Hello, Rajesh. How are things by you?
02:12Good, good.
02:13Listen, I just wanted to let you know
02:15when you get my credit card bill, it might be a little high this month.
02:18Well, you're a grown man with a steady job.
02:20Why wouldn't you spend all your father's money?
02:25Oh, Daddy, you're so rich and funny.
02:29Yeah.
02:30So, what else is going on with your life?
02:32Uh, well, I was dating a woman at the university, but we broke up.
02:36I'm sorry to hear that.
02:37I know you are.
02:38That's why you just bought me a new iPad.
02:42And before you start,
02:44I am not interested in you arranging a marriage for me.
02:47Oh, I gave up on that a long time ago.
02:49You did?
02:50It's too much work.
02:52You're an adult who can't get by without an allowance from his parents.
02:55Women don't want that.
02:56What are you saying?
02:59That you're giving up on me?
03:00What kind of father gives up on his son?
03:02I have six children, five of whom are married and self-sufficient.
03:06I don't think I'm the problem.
03:10I can't believe what I'm hearing.
03:12This is deeply hurtful.
03:13You're also too sensitive.
03:15Women don't want that either.
03:22The food here is supposed to be great.
03:24Don't fill up on chips.
03:25Oh, I won't.
03:26I have a trick.
03:26I only eat equilateral triangles.
03:31Isosceles.
03:32Isosceles.
03:33Oh, scalene.
03:37You didn't see that.
03:41Oh, look.
03:42It's Bert at the bar.
03:43We should go say hi.
03:45Why?
03:47Because that's what you do when you see someone you know in a public place.
03:52I have multiple restraining orders that say otherwise.
03:58Sheldon, there's a difference between greeting a friend and following a celebrity into a bathroom.
04:04If the judge couldn't explain it to me, I don't see how you will.
04:10Hi, Bert.
04:11Hello.
04:12Oh, hey, guys.
04:13What brings you here?
04:14Oh, we're having date night.
04:15Nice.
04:16I'm meeting someone, too.
04:17Oh, really?
04:18Anybody we know?
04:19I doubt it.
04:20I met her on G Harmony.
04:22That's a website for geologists to find love.
04:26That's a real thing?
04:28Yeah.
04:28Their slogan is, we're all about dating and not the carbon-14 kind.
04:35Well, have a lovely evening.
04:37Thanks.
04:38You, too.
04:40If you think that's more fun than talking to Zachary Quinto through a stall door, you're crazy.
04:47You know, we couldn't come to you guys. You didn't have to bring the baby here.
04:50Oh, it's okay. It's good to get out of the house.
04:52When the car ride puts her to sleep.
04:53Oh, not used to work with Sheldon.
04:57Not until someone left him in the drugstore parking lot and he freaked out.
05:00Who forgot to crack the window?
05:03Hello?
05:05Oh, someone's been shopping at Gucci.
05:07Yeah, I saw something for Hallie and I couldn't resist.
05:10That's so sweet of you.
05:11Yeah, it's a crushed velvet baby cape.
05:17Oh, no. Now we have two.
05:21That must have been expensive.
05:23Yeah, it was. But it's my father's money and I'm mad at him.
05:27What's going on with your dad?
05:28And if you really want to hurt him, I look great in Chanel.
05:32It turns out he doesn't care if I'm married or if I'm single. He's basically given up on me.
05:37Oh, I'm sure that's not true.
05:39It is. He stopped trying to find Indian girls for me to marry.
05:42But all you did was complain when he did that.
05:44Right, Leonard. He's hurting. Let him feel how he feels.
05:47Well, thank you, Benny.
05:49Yeah. Shoes, I'm a seven and a half. Boots, I'm an eight.
05:55MSN Search, Alta Vista, and Ask Jeeves.
06:01You?
06:03Sorry, I don't have a list of defunct search engines that I miss.
06:09Hey, looks like I got stood up, so I'm gonna head out.
06:12Oh, no. Are you sure you don't want to give her a few more minutes?
06:15Nah. G Harmony recommends after two hours, it's time to cut date.
06:22I'm so sorry.
06:23Bert, I insist that you join us.
06:26You really wouldn't mind?
06:28Not at all, Amy.
06:30Fine with me.
06:31Thanks. I'll go grab a chair.
06:35Sheldon, that was so sweet of you.
06:37I could deduce by his facial expression and body language that he was sad.
06:42So the part where he got stood up didn't clue you in?
06:46You want me to look at him and listen to him?
06:51My father thinks the reason I can't make a relationship work is because I'm spoiled.
07:01I'm sorry, is he waiting for someone to disagree?
07:05Just because he helps me out doesn't automatically mean that I'm spoiled.
07:09Alright, how much exactly does he pay for?
07:13Okay, I'll tell you, but please don't judge me.
07:16He pays for my car, my rent, and my credit cards.
07:23I'm trying, but I'm judging.
07:28Maybe your dad's right.
07:29Yeah, women do like a man that can support himself.
07:31Well, but Bernadette makes more money than Howard. She basically supports him.
07:36Yeah, maybe your dad's right.
07:41That's a good question.
07:43Let's see, Infoseek, Webcrawler, oh, Hotbot.
07:50Okay, literally any other topic.
07:54Alright, how did you guys meet?
07:57Actually, we met online.
07:59Our first date was at a coffee shop.
08:01Although, unlike your date, she actually showed up.
08:05Oh, he looks sad again.
08:09Well, I really envy your relationship.
08:12Other than you two only having sex once a year, you're the perfect couple.
08:18You know about that?
08:20Yeah, everyone at the university does.
08:24Were you aware of this?
08:25No. No, I only told Leonard, Howard, Raj, Kripke, Professor Wu, Professor Klein.
08:33And a lunch lady in the cafeteria.
08:36How everyone else found out is a mystery to me.
08:47Why aren't you talking to me?
08:48Because I'm mad at you.
08:50Oh, well, now I'm sorry I asked.
08:54Sheldon, it's humiliating.
08:56Thanks to you, my colleagues are gossiping about our sex life.
08:59What is there to gossip about?
09:00We barely have one.
09:04That's why they're doing it.
09:09Is it safe to assume you're not speaking to me again?
09:15If you're not answering because you're not speaking to me, perhaps we could come up with a signal.
09:24That works.
09:28You don't need your dad's money. You can get by on your salary.
09:31Yeah, we work at the same place as you and we've always been fine.
09:35Oh, please, look in the mirror. You both look ten years older than I do.
09:41All right, hang on, we can figure this out. Let's just go over your expenses. How much is your rent?
09:46I don't want to stay.
09:48Is he really that high?
09:50I don't want to stay because I don't know how much it is.
09:54You don't know how much your rent is?
09:55My father pays for it. Do you know how much your rent is?
09:57Yeah.
09:58Well, then double it because my building's a lot nicer than this dump.
10:03Do you know how much your car costs?
10:05Not really.
10:07How much do you spend on food?
10:09The housekeeper does the shopping.
10:13Oh, my God, you really are spoiled.
10:15I'm spoiled? Your baby has a kid that costs $300.
10:26I'm going to bed.
10:27Well, wait.
10:29This is our first fight as a couple who live together.
10:33So?
10:34I'm not sure of the protocol.
10:36Television teaches us that the man's supposed to sleep on the couch,
10:39but of the two of us, you're clearly more sofa-sized.
10:43I'm not sleeping on the couch
10:44because you don't know what's private and what's not.
10:47This isn't fair.
10:49You've discussed aspects of our physical relationship with Penny.
10:52That's different.
10:53She's a close friend.
10:55Not the lady in the cafeteria who cuts the crust off your sandwiches.
10:58That lady has a name.
11:00I don't know what it is, but one time I accidentally called her mom.
11:08Sounds like you're going to need a cheaper place to live.
11:10When you moved here, you didn't have a lot of money.
11:12How'd you get by?
11:13Well, sometimes you can get free food and Wi-Fi from the neighbors.
11:19Just know you might have to marry one of them.
11:23Hey, you guys let Stuart live with you. Why not Raj, too?
11:27What are you doing? I...
11:31I slept the baby over. I brought imported beer.
11:34Why don't you like me?
11:36What? I thought we were best friends.
11:38No, we are.
11:39That's why I'm sad my best friend's going to be homeless.
11:45I'm sorry, Raj. We really just don't have the space.
11:48What if he lives in your garage?
11:49What if you stop helping?
11:53Guys, I'm not living in a garage.
11:55Wait, why are we talking about our place when Sheldon's old room is sitting there perfectly empty?
12:03That's a great idea.
12:07Raj, if you need a place to stay, of course you are welcome here.
12:12Thank you, but if I'm going to just take advantage of my friends, I might as well keep on relying
12:17on my father.
12:18Okay, only if you're sure.
12:21Yeah.
12:25Amy?
12:27Amy?
12:28Amy?
12:29Amy?
12:29Yeah?
12:31Not exactly the welcome wagon, but I'll take it.
12:36What is this?
12:38I'm mapping basic topics of conversation and with whom they can be discussed.
12:44I call these circles zones of privacy.
12:48Don't Google that unless you want to see pictures of people's genitals.
12:52This circle contains only me and you.
12:55It represents subjects we only share with each other.
12:59Details of physical intimacy, bathroom habits.
13:02Although, as I'm saying it, I may need to add Dr. Fink in here.
13:08Are you really worried about revealing secrets to Stephen Hawking?
13:12Oh, no. I was just excited to list him as a friend.
13:16Well, I do appreciate you working on this.
13:21I'm sorry you were embarrassed.
13:23And now I understand that some things are just between you and me.
13:27And in the event of redness and swelling, Dr. Fink.
13:34What's that little dot in the middle?
13:36That's reserved for thoughts I don't share with anyone.
13:40Interesting.
13:41You really have secrets you don't tell me?
13:44Of course.
13:45Can I hear one?
13:47No. They're private.
13:49Why? Are they naughty?
13:54A little.
13:56Please?
13:59Fine.
14:00Two years ago,
14:04I got my driver's license.
14:09What?
14:12Why didn't you say anything?
14:14I like being chauffeured around.
14:17It makes me feel important.
14:20So when I got up at 4am to drive you across the desert to an antique train museum,
14:26I didn't have to?
14:27No, you didn't.
14:28Do you keep in mind?
14:30I felt extremely important.
14:39What?
14:42Hello, Father. We need to talk.
14:44All right.
14:45I have come to an important decision.
14:47I will not be accepting your money anymore.
14:49I'm a man and I can take care of myself.
14:52That's wonderful.
14:53Yes, that is wonderful.
14:54You will no longer be able to accuse me of being spoiled.
14:57I'm so proud of you.
14:59Dad, I'm trying to tell you off and you're ruining it with your delight and relief.
15:04Sorry.
15:05Oh, no. My grown son is going to stop spending all my money.
15:09Where did I fail as a father?
15:13Yeah, that's right. Keep asking yourself that.
15:17But I still love you very much, so don't cut me out of the will.
15:26You brought your own lunch. Good for you.
15:29Yeah, I'm making a bunch of changes. This morning I fired my dog walker.
15:33How's the dog going to go to the bathroom?
15:35Ah, I gave her an imodium. That's tomorrow's problem.
15:40Excuse me. May I have your attention, please?
15:44I have recently been made aware that my personal relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler
15:49has become water cooler gossip.
15:51And I just want to say, shame on all of you.
15:55Now, we're scientists.
15:57Our minds should be focused on the advancement of human knowledge,
16:01not the intimate details of other people's lives.
16:04He's right.
16:06And I'm sorry for the part I played in this.
16:09Thank you, Bert. You're a good man.
16:12That woman who stood you up and humiliated you last night really missed out.
16:18That doesn't paint me in the best light.
16:21Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
16:23Correction. That woman not only had vigorous coitus with Bert,
16:28but she also tipped him a dollar for a job well done.
16:35Better?
16:36Not really.
16:39All right. Well, to sum up, focus on science,
16:42keep your nose out of other people's business,
16:44and, uh, whoa, for a good time, call Bert.
16:54What brought that on?
16:56Well, last night, Amy was angry with me because I'd been foolishly telling people about certain personal matters.
17:03That's understandable.
17:05Oh, I know that now.
17:06At first, I thought she was cranky because of her horrific menstrual cramps, but...
17:12It turns out, no, she was genuinely mortified.
