Oh, thanks.
Got a couple new outfits for work.

00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,122
How's it feel knowing your fiancé's job is to
go out and flirt with doctors looking like that...

00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,001
...while you sit here,
you know, looking like this?

00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,842

- Yeah. It's all very professional.

- Okay, good.

Speaking of new careers,
how are things going with dark matter?

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,725
Oh. Yeah. I'd have to say it's the most
exciting time in the history of the field.

Oh. What's going on?

I started doing it.

You know the government funded the biggest
experiment yet to detect dark matter?

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,686
I read about that. They're sending research
teams down into abandoned salt mines.

00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,451
Look. Sheldon, if we apply
to be one of those teams...

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,007

of something big.

- Why not?

You had a panic attack
when we went through the car wash.

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,201
Perhaps the emotion you're referring to
was shock at you having something cleaned.

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,122
I think what Penny meant is the thought
of you two in a mine is funny.

21

So one of my favorite video games of
all time is called "Shadow of the Colossus."

30
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,849
It was only for PlayStation 2...

31
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,487
...but then they came out with a new version
for PS3 with better graphics.

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,129
I finally got a chance to play it, and for some
reason, it just wasn't as good as the first one.

- You know how they gave me the company car?

I really appreciate it.

but now I don't need it. So here you go.

is already getting on my nerves.

163
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,928
- Thanks again for having us.
- Of course.

164
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,724
What did you wanna talk about?

165
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:42,245
Now that we're engaged, we had questions
about how you handle money as a couple.

166
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,531
I told you they weren't gonna
ask us to swing with them.

167
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,684
I didn't think they were going to.

168
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,407
I just wanted to have a way to say no
without hurting Leonard's feelings.

169
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,811
Well, nailed it.

170
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,286
What did you wanna know?

171
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:01,251
Well, do you guys ever fight over money?

172
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,805
Sure. Sometimes.

173
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,402
It can be a little awkward since
I make so much more money than Howie.

174
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,687
You didn't have to say, "So much more."
Heh.

175
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,163
I didn't have to, but for the sake of accuracy,
I felt that I should.

176
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,086
I brought significant assets
into the relationship too.

177
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,450
Like what? Your incomplete set
of <i>Star Trek</i> collector plates?

178
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,923
For your information,
I just bought the last one I needed on eBay.

179
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,930
Without asking me?

180
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,527
There were only three minutes
left in the auction.

181
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,167
It was a mint-condition
"Scotty" from a smoke-free home.

182
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,484
- How much, Howie?
- Not a lot.

183
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,449
How much?

184
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,691
Let's not talk about this
in front of our friends.

185
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,965
Was it more or less than falconry school?

186
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,246
For the 10th time, that was a Groupon.

187
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,329
Like I would swing with him.

188
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,005
How you feeling?

189
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,287
Good.

190
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,168
A little claustrophobic.

191
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,081
Let's set up the equipment.
It'll help take your mind off of it.

192

Miners often sing mining songs
to keep their spirits up.

193

- Just the hits.

<i>Yes, it's dark as a dungeon

199
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,287
It's a little more bleak than I thought.

205
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,881
Okay. How about a little Miley Cyrus next?

206
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,605

207
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,365
Talk about wasted money,
what about the late fees on our credit card...

208
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,404
- ...because somebody didn't pay on time?
- I would've paid it...

209
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:32,801
...if I wasn't doing everything else
around here.

210
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,606
You're saying
I don't do anything around here?

211
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,888
Look at my chore chart.

212
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,446
- She made him a chore...
- I see it.

213
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,169
"Do the dishes."
There's a star right there.

214
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,204
That was a pity star.
Putting water in the roasting pan...

215
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,085
...and leaving it in the sink
is not doing the dishes.

216
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,202
That pan had to soak, and you know it.

217
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,605
Don't come crying to me
when you don't get your allowance.

218
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,202
It's not an allowance. It's a stipend.

219
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,729
And we said we weren't gonna
call it an allowance in front of my friends.

I usually don't like lemon bars,
but these are really good.

00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,130
So as Hannah Montana...

223
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,607
...Miley was a world-famous pop star.

224
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,644
She would take off her wig
and go to school like a normal girl.

225
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,680
Which, I don't have to tell you,
at that age, is its own headache.

226
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,204
That's preposterous. How would she go
unrecognized just by wearing a wig?

227
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,643
But you're okay with Superman
concealing his identity with glasses?

228
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,768
He doesn't just put on a pair of glasses.

229
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,124

they have a portable DVD player...

Sorry you guys had to see that.

247

- Don't apologize.
- It makes it harder...

...to pretend it never happened.

249
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,807
Money's a sensitive subject for Howie
because of the difference in our income.

It really bothers him?

251
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,204
Sure. There's still a lot of pressure
on guys to be providers.

252
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,483
So even though he's happy for me,
it's just a little tough on him.

253
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,687
Uh-oh.

...if I do well in sales, I could end up
making more than you.

256
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,648
Not a problem. I grew up with a mother...

257
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,010
...who emasculated my father financially
and in every other aspect of his life.

258
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,730

- Should we go?
- Hang on. I wanna see if he gets the star.

266
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,362
This heat is brutal.

267
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,086
As someone from the
tropical subcontinent of India...

268
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,842
...you should know fanning yourself in a humid
environment raises your body temperature.

269
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:09,603
Huh. That does explain why the servants used
to look so hot while they were fanning me.

Let's get our minds off
how uncomfortable we are.

00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,091
We could take some more
simulated instrument readings.

272
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,682
My major focus at the moment
is keeping my claustrophobia at bay.

- How's that going?
- You tell me.

00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,801

- Is it Amy?
- It's dark matter.

283
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,331
When I entered the field of string theory,
I was a prodigy.

284
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,041
I rose to a position of respect...

285
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,450
...and I assumed my career would
continue on that upward trajectory.

286
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,688
Now here I am in my 30s.

287
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,406
I'm back at square one.

288
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,682
And frankly, it's frightening.

289
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,370

I think of when I'm scared?

00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,168
- The space probe.
- Good.

293
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:32,887
I am too hot and tired to go on about
how much I hate <i>Voyager the</i> TV show.

294
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,646
By the time I was born, <i>Voyager 1's</i>
mission was supposed to be over.

295
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,680
It had seen Jupiter
and Saturn and all their moons...

296
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,882
...but it kept going.

297
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:50,570
When I left India for America,
I was never more scared in my life.

298
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,922
I had no idea what lay ahead.

299
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,725
Whenever I feel that way,
I think about how <i>Voyager</i> is...
