00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,480
<i>Previously on</i> The Big Bang Theory...

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,637
So I told my mom
she just needed to back off.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,720
This is our wedding,

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,736
and if anyone's gonna design
the floral arrangements,

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,672
it's going to be my man.

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,519
Thank you.

7
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,796
I mean, I'm not trying
to be a groomzilla,

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,315
but this is my special day.

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,118
Everything okay?

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,759
Yeah, it's just Anu's doorbell camera.

11
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,956
I helped her install it.

12
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,759
You can't look at it. That's spying.

13
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,155
Who the hell is this guy?

14
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,356
Ooh! Let me see.

15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,118
So you're still talking
to your ex-boyfriend?

16
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,396
Yes, and I'm not gonna
apologize for that.

17
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,756
And you need to delete
that app from your phone.

18
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,016
Because you're hiding something from me?

19
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,520
No, because you should trust me!

20
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,638
How can I trust you?
I barely even know you!

21
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,390
Then what are we doing?

22
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,080
I don't know.

23
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,952
Ah! Sad man!

24
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,316
This is so great.

25
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,629
Why don't we do it more often?

26
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,473
Because you have two kids,

27
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,835
I have Sheldon,

28
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,798
and Penny's apparently
in the gym all the time,

29
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,553
'cause, damn, look at her!

30
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,834
Yeah, so impressive how you manage
to bounce back after having no babies.

31
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,595
Ah! Another reason why
we don't do this more often.

32
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,350
You've come to a giant metal door.

33
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,399
I check the door for traps.

34
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,669
There are no traps.

35
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,876
I use my wizard eye

36
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,191
to see
what's on the other side of the door.

37
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,396
Hey, that's sort of like

38
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,678
how you used a doorbell camera
to spy on your fiancée.

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,559
No, it's nothing like that.

40
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,632
Your wizard eye reveals a monster.

41
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,189
- Is it alone and unloved?
- I guess.

42
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,114
I open the door and say, "Hey, Raj."

43
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,439
I have a bottle of champagne for you.

44
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Oh, we didn't order this.

45
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,872
It's from the gentleman
at the end of the bar.

46
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,320
Oh!

47
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,680
If we drink it, does that mean
we're making a promise?

48
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,599
'Cause I am happily married,
although I will watch.

49
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,072
We're not gonna do anything.

50
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Really? So, all that work's for Leonard?

51
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,078
Why don't you just call her?
I'm sure you guys can work this out.

52
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,576
I don't want to talk about it.
Let's just play.

53
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,115
Okay, the cyclops tells you
that the enchantress you seek

54
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,635
is staying
at the Inn of the Dwarven Lords.

55
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,757
Really? An inn?

56
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,593
Anu is a concierge at a hotel.

57
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,115
That's a little insensitive,
don't you think?

58
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,510
I hadn't noticed that
before you mentioned it.

59
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,416
Well, now, that I've mentioned it,
how do you feel?

60
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,113
- Bad.
- Shame on you.

61
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,754
- Hey, ladies.
- Zack!

62
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,399
Hi. You guys know Zack.

63
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,736
- Yeah.
- Of course.

64
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,955
Did you send this over?

65
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,600
I did. I asked for
the most expensive one they have.

66
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,390
They said it was $200,
and I said I want a more expensive one.

67
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,915
And then, they said it was $300.

68
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,072
- But it was the same...
- Don't.

69
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:53,711
Thank you, but you shouldn't
have spent so much.

70
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,350
Nah. It's cool. I sold my company
for a boatload of money.

71
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,840
And then I bought a boat.

72
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,755
Then I got married. Guess where.

73
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,480
On your boat?

74
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,555
No, but that would've been awesome!

75
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,152
Well, congratulations.

76
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,118
Hey, you and Leonard

77
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,431
should come over
and have dinner with us on our boat.

78
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,997
Yeah, that would be so nice.

79
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,959
Leonard was just saying
how he was hoping to have dinner

80
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,794
with one of your ex-boyfriends
on his expensive boat.

81
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,669
- Well, then this worked out perfect!
- Oh, yeah.

82
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,272
<i>Our whole universe
was in a hot dense state</i>

83
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,512
<i>Then nearly fourteen billion years ago
expansion started...</i>

84
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,518
<i>Wait!</i>

85
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,520
<i>The earth began to cool</i>

86
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,755
<i>The autotrophs began to drool</i>

87
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,433
<i>Neanderthals developed tools</i>

88
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,318
<i>We built a wall
We built the pyramids</i>

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,040
<i>Math, science, history
Unraveling the mystery</i>

90
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,231
<i>It all started with the Big Bang!</i>

91
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,320
<i>Bang!</i>

92
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Hey. How was game night?

93
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,273
Oh. Off the charts.

94
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,079
Literally. Sheldon rolled
a number so high,

95
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,833
it wasn't on any of these charts.

96
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,311
That's funny.
Wow, I should not have driven home.

97
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,915
How was ladies' night?

98
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640
It was fun.
Amy got drunk and kept telling us

99
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
that Sheldon's chest is smooth
like a porpoise.

100
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,873
Well, it does squeak when you touch it.

101
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,756
And we ran into Zack.

102
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,718
Oh. Yeah? How's he doing?

103
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,917
- He got married.
- Oh, well, that's nice.

104
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,198
Yeah, and he sold his company
for a fortune and retired.

105
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Huh.

106
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,436
And you ended up with me,
so, everybody wins.

107
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,317
Wait. You're not
jealous of Zack, are you?

108
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,840
What? Oh, absolutely not.

109
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,230
In fact, he should be jealous of me
because I have you.

110
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,360
And a dungeon
with over 30 rooms left unexplored

111
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,716
because no one thought
to search for secret doors

112
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,553
under the wizard's throne.

113
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,749
Oh. You know, I'd like to go exploring.

114
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:55,634
- Really?
- Mmm-hmm.

115
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,840
Well, I'll get the dice back out.

116
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,510
Go away, Raj!

117
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,717
What are you doing?

118
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,594
<i>I'm winning you back</i>
Love Actually <i>style.</i>

119
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,829
I don't know what that means.

120
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,477
Really? You've never seen <i>Love Actually?</i>

121
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,029
If you want to watch it right now,
I'll just wait.

122
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,794
I have nothing to say to you.

123
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,951
Look, we both made mistakes.

124
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,874
I am so sorry that I spied on you.

125
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,600
I didn't mean to,
but I know it was not okay.

126
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,916
Now, do you want to apologize to me?

127
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,998
You also said you don't trust me
and that you barely know me.

128
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,269
I really thought this would be
more of a back-and-forth thing.

129
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Honestly, Raj,
why do you even want to marry me?

130
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,834
You know,
family and India and stuff.

131
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,480
Here's what I think.

132
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,321
All of your friends are married,
and you don't want to be left behind.

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,951
And honestly,
that's not a good enough reason.

134
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Okay, well, how is that different
than what you're doing? Hmm?

135
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,236
Worried that you wasted

136
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,676
so many years
dating the wrong people, and now,

137
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,515
you're just looking for a shortcut.

138
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,398
You're right. It's not different.

139
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,750
Okay, so, we agree.

140
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,638
- Yeah.
- Great.

141
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,359
Wait. What did we just agree on?

142
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,190
That we shouldn't
see each other anymore.

143
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,959
You know what? Why don't you shut
the door, and I'll just do the cards?

144
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,632
Do you remember
Penny's ex-boyfriend Zack?

145
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,155
Leonard, I remember all
of Penny's ex-boyfriends.

146
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,391
If you'd like,
I could list them alphabetically.

147
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,600
No, thank you.

148
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,559
Uh, fun fact. You would think
Zack would be the last one on the list,

149
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,792
but she also dated two Zekes.

150
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,229
Well, apparently, Zack sold his company
for a ton of money and retired.

151
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,840
And that bothers you?

152
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,360
I don't know. I mean...
I guess so. Yeah.

153
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,400
It doesn't seem fair. I work hard.

154
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,592
I'm really smart.

155
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,034
I've made
substantial contributions to my field.

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,234
But Zack gets to be rich,
while I'm still working for a paycheck?

157
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,438
A lot of people you don't know are rich.

158
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,950
That doesn't seem to bother you.
Mark Zuckerberg,

00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,680
- Sultan of Brunei, Gordon Letwin.
- Who's that?

160
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,551
He's one of the first
11 employees of Microsoft.

161
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,678
Yeah, I don't have to
hang out with Gordon Letwin.

162
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,678
Well, that's too bad.

163
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,435
He helped create the HPFS file system.
Oh, the stories he could tell.

164
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,160
Penny told him we'd go have dinner with
him and his wife on their stupid boat.

165
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,993
Hmm, just tell her you don't want to go.

166
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,800
Then she'll think
I'm being jealous and petty.

167
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,476
So, you want to seem
mature and confident.

168
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,478
I make one mistake, and she says
she doesn't want to marry me.

169
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,831
- Like she never screwed up.
- Did she?

170
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,840
She agreed to marry me.

171
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,830
Honestly, I think you dodged a bullet.
I don't think she was right for you.

172
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,115
Howie... Shh.

173
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,200
What?

174
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,152
You can't bad-mouth Anu.

175
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,896
They're gonna get back together,
and you're gonna look like a jerk.

176
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,673
I mean, remember when we broke up,

177
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,600
and Penny said
all those mean things about you?

178
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,356
What did she say?

179
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,669
I don't want to get into it.

180
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,513
Some of it was hurtful,
most of it was true.

181
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,496
So, I'm just supposed
to lie to my friend?

182
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,352
I don't want you to lie to me.

183
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,874
No one's gonna lie to you.

184
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,715
Lie.

185
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,216
She says the only reason
I'm marrying her

186
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,233
is because all my friends are married,
and I don't want to feel left out.

187
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,879
Oh, that's nonsense.

188
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,633
No. She's right.

189
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,080
Now, what do I say?

190
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,758
So, Marissa, how did you guys meet?

191
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,877
Oh, it's a pretty funny story.

192
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,111
We met in a bookstore.

193
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,199
That is funny.

194
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,397
Yeah, I was just there
using the bathroom,

195
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,234
but this one had a stack of books,
like, this tall.

196
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,073
Oh, so, you really like to read?

197
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,992
Oh, no. I work there.

198
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,989
Yeah, she is super smart.

199
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,152
Seriously, you name, like, any book,
she'll tell you if she's heard of it.

200
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,989
Go on, try her.

201
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,230
Oh, uh...

202
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,320
<i>Catcher in the Rye.</i>

203
00:09:47,321 --> 00:09:48,321
Nope.

204
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,560
Look at that, Penny.
I guess we both like nerds.

205
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,357
So, we gonna take this thing out?

206
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,796
Nah. It's a little choppy tonight.

207
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,315
Yeah, that's okay, this is nice,
sitting under the stars.

208
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,153
It's actually kind of peaceful.

209
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,357
Well, it's a beautiful boat.

210
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Thanks, man. We love it.

211
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,037
Although, he's so tall,
he bangs his head

212
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,679
almost every time he goes downstairs.

213
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,230
After the first couple,
you don't even feel it.

214
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,840
Where are our manners?

215
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,536
Zack, let's get our guests
something to drink.

216
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:20,960
You got it, babe.

217
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,234
I can't believe that guy's rich.

218
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,840
- Ooh! Watch your head.
- That was a close one.

219
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,636
Are you jealous?

220
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,920
I know. I know I shouldn't be.

221
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,077
He's super sweet.
I should be happy for them.

222
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,833
It's driving me crazy, too.

223
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,877
- Really?
- Yes. I was trying to pretend

224
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,395
like it wasn't, so,
you wouldn't think I was petty.

225
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,073
Turns out we're both petty.

226
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,193
- I love you so much.
- Aww.

227
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,718
Cheers, guys.

228
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,234
- Thank you.
- Oh, thanks.

229
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,678
So, listen, I got to be honest.

230
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,992
Uh, we sort of have another reason
for asking you here.

231
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,114
We want to have a baby,
but we can't do it on our own.

232
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,920
It could be because of the game me
and my frat brothers used to play

233
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,310
where we kicked each other
in the balls over and over.

234
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,919
But the doc says there's no telling.

235
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,989
We just don't know.

236
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,200
Huh.

237
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,675
You went to college.

238
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,513
And Zack's always admired you

239
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,990
because you're
the smartest person he knows.

240
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,998
Okay.

241
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,229
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

242
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,318
This has been such a nice evening.

243
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,040
Let's all just stop before
anyone says any more things.

244
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,696
Leonard, would you be
the father of our baby?

245
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,632
Oh, you said a thing.

246
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,157
Wow. This is really flattering.

247
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,632
And also, really weird, right?

248
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,076
Oh, just to be clear,
you don't get to... You know.

249
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,440
No, I...

250
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,080
I got it.

251
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,160
Just because I slept with your wife,
doesn't mean you get to sleep with mine.

252
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,158
We get it,
but thank you for saying it out loud.

253
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,760
You're welcome.

254
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,312
I know it's a big ask,
but it would mean so much to us.

255
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,514
Yeah, and we really don't want
a stranger's, you know...

256
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,750
- I know.
- ...sperm.

257
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,832
And Zack's always talked about
what a great guy Leonard is.

258
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,237
I really don't know
what to say.

259
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,874
Really? You don't know what to say?

260
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,351
I think
we should talk about this.

261
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,191
Oh, yeah. Definitely,
you guys should talk, yeah.

262
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,431
Take your time.

263
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,474
He means privately.

264
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:42,676
- Right. Sorry.
- Sure. Yep.

265
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,353
- Come on, Zack.
- Okay. Yeah.

266
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,320
You really think
those two should be parents?

267
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,999
There's nothing wrong with them.

268
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,200
Ow!

269
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,549
Hello, Daddy.

270
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,553
<i>Did you install a camera
to spy on your fiancée?</i>

271
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,519
What? No!

272
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,674
<i>That's what her parents told me</i>

273
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,456
<i>when they said they
were calling off the wedding.</i>

274
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,473
<i>But I told them you would never
do such a thing.</i>

275
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,760
Thank you.

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,079
I mean, I did install a camera,

277
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,517
and I did spy on her, but
I did not install it to spy on her.

278
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,190
<i>That's not going to be our story.</i>

279
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,751
<i>Our story is that she's a liar.
And, old.</i>

280
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,194
<i>An old, dirty liar.</i>

281
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,911
Oh, no. She's actually great.
I'm the one who screwed up.

282
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,839
<i>Well, don't say that to them.</i>

283
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,553
<i>She's bad. You're good.</i>

284
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,110
<i>They have to pay me back
for my wedding deposits.</i>

285
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,637
This is all my fault.
I should have just trusted her.

286
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,520
<i>So, you're saying
you still want to get married?</i>

287
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,240
<i>Fine. Then I'll call her parents</i>

288
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,073
<i>and we'll straighten
this whole thing out.</i>

289
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,040
I don't think she wants to marry me.

290
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,838
And honestly,
she deserves someone better.

291
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,875
<i>Rajesh, you need to stop
being so hard on yourself.</i>

292
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,394
<i>You're a good man.</i>

293
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,554
Wow.

294
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,279
You've never told me that.

295
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,874
<i>You're also a dope.</i>

296
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:11,830
That you've said.

297
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,998
<i>But your heart's in the right place,
and you deserve happiness.</i>

298
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,960
<i>So, you just need to figure out
what you want,</i>

299
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,238
<i>and if that means canceling
the wedding, we cancel the wedding.</i>

300
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,718
Thank you.

301
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,757
<i>But figure it out quickly,
or I'll be celebrating</i>

302
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,752
<i>my next birthday
with a lot more elephants</i>

303
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,593
<i>and marigolds than I expected.</i>

304
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,914
And Leonard just stood there
with a big, dumb smile on his face,

305
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,913
like he was watching a puppy
and a monkey make friends.

306
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,070
I can see
how he'd be flattered to be asked.

307
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,514
It's not flattering. It's creepy.

308
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,680
Well, something can be
both flattering and creepy.

309
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,311
Just the other night,
Sheldon said that my feet

310
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,312
looked like Richard Feynman's hands.

311
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,198
Really?

312
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,040
So, you'd be okay if someone wanted
to use Sheldon as their sperm donor?

313
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,079
Oh, absolutely not.
I am the only handmaid in this tale.

314
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,113
So, Leonard's really considering this?

315
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,680
Yes. We got in a huge fight about it.

316
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,296
He said,
well, if I don't want to have his baby,

317
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,936
then why shouldn't
someone else be able to?

318
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Do you believe that?

319
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,798
What?

320
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,431
Well, there is a deep-seated
biological drive to pass on your genes.

321
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,795
It's only natural.

322
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,394
So, you're on his side?

323
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,630
Well, viewing Leonard as a mammal,
it's perfectly understandable.

324
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,712
But viewing him
as your husband, he stinks.

325
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,995
And we hate him.

326
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,358
Really?

327
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,480
Zack wanted you to donate
your genetic material for his baby?

328
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,792
Yeah. So, I'd be helping out a couple
who really want a baby,

329
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,799
and they were gonna pay us,
and Penny freaked out about it.

330
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,336
- That doesn't make any sense.
- I know.

331
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,794
They wanted you?

332
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,232
Yes, Sheldon, they wanted me.

333
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,994
- I'm smart. I'm nice.
- I'm smart. I'm nice.

334
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,390
And I can eat cheese
without clearing out a room.

335
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,952
Are you upset he didn't ask you?

336
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,111
Of course, not.
I just think it's interesting

337
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,477
that of all the people he knows,
he thinks you're the best choice.

338
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,472
Well, he does.

339
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,155
I don't see why
Penny is so against this.

340
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,357
Perhaps, Penny's worried
that you haven't considered

341
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,875
the emotional toll of knowing
there's a child out there

342
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,032
who is biologically yours,
but not actually yours.

343
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,079
Well, that's really insightful.

344
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,231
Yeah, I'm taller than you
and I don't have asthma.

345
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,470
Those people are crazy.

346
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,592
<i>Come on, I know you're there,
and I know you know it's me.</i>

347
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Ugh.

348
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,272
- You're just making this harder.
- Look,

349
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,437
you were right.
I was doing this for the wrong reasons.

350
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,469
You deserve to marry someone
who knows how amazing you are

351
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,634
and who proposes because he doesn't
want to spend a single day without you.

352
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,556
Not because he wants
to catch up to his friends.

353
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,710
Thank you.

354
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,190
And I want you to know,
I think I could be that man.

355
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,912
Raj, I'm not gonna marry you.

356
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,515
- I'm not asking you to.
- Then why are you here?

357
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,911
Because I like you. Okay? I like you.

358
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,515
I like you enough
to start this relationship

359
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,717
at the beginning, not in the middle.

360
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,510
So, will you go out on a date with me?

361
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,080
I don't know.

362
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,876
Okay.

363
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,155
But I warn you,

364
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,833
I just got out of a weird relationship,
and I might complain about my ex a lot.

365
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,029
Maybe he's being weird because

366
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,952
he doesn't know
how to ask for his ring back.

367
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,318
- Hey.
- Hi.

368
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,595
- Where you been?
- Just out.

369
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,711
All right, look,
I'm sorry that we fought before.

370
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,679
I know
this is a really unusual situation,

371
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,877
and if you don't want me to do it,
I won't.

372
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,839
- Really?
- Yeah.

373
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,593
We're a team. We're in this together.

374
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,520
I'll be right back.

375
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,720
What is that?

376
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,712
It's a sample cup.

377
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,278
Really? 'Cause it looks like
the top off the NyQuil bottle.

378
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:49,600
It's the closest thing I could find.

379
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,070
- It's a gesture. Shut up.
- All right, sorry.

380
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,231
So, are you saying
you're okay with this?

381
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,198
I don't know,

382
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,616
but when I told you
I didn't want to have kids,

383
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,519
you didn't have a say in that, so...

384
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,876
Maybe I don't need
to have a say in this.

385
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Thank you.

386
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,720
They couldn't have picked
a better person.

387
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,036
Are you calling Zack?

388
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,760
No, Sheldon. Would you say
that last part one more time?

389
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,520
Come on.
