I'm glad to see you made it safely.

00:00:05,757 --> 00:00:06,883
How's your hotel?

3
00:00:08,093 --> 00:00:10,261
<i>It's not the best
Best Western I've been to,</i>

4
00:00:10,428 --> 00:00:11,763
<i>but I'd say</i>

5
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:14,516
<i>it's the third-best
Best Western I've been to.</i>

6
00:00:15,809 --> 00:00:16,976
I know how you feel.

7
00:00:17,143 --> 00:00:20,647
The Best Buy by my house
is only the third-best Best Buy.

8
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:24,442
They have the best buys,
but having the best buys

9
00:00:24,609 --> 00:00:27,278
isn't the only thing
that makes a Best Buy the best Best Buy.

10
00:00:29,989 --> 00:00:32,951
<i>What makes a best Best Buy
the best Best Buy?</i>

11
00:00:33,118 --> 00:00:34,953
Hmm. That's a great question.

12
00:00:35,161 --> 00:00:36,788
I like when they're next to a Chipotle.

13
00:00:39,124 --> 00:00:40,792
<i>Okay, well, I should unpack.</i>

14
00:00:40,959 --> 00:00:43,712
All right.
Enjoy the neurobiology conference.

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,921
<i>I will.</i>

16
00:00:45,088 --> 00:00:47,215
<i>I wish you were here.</i>

17
00:00:48,133 --> 00:00:50,885
At a neurobiology conference?
What a mean thing to say.

18
00:00:53,263 --> 00:00:56,141
<i>Okay, I'm glad you're not here?</i>

Amy's at a conference this weekend,

24
00:01:08,153 --> 00:01:10,947
which means I'm available
to be entertained.

As today's youth might put it,
who wants to get their Sheld-on?

Bernie and I are getting the house ready
for the remodel.

27
00:01:19,289 --> 00:01:20,999
We could always use
an extra pair of hands.

28

That sounds awful. Raj?

29

Uh, I've got time booked
in the telescope room all weekend

30
00:01:26,629 --> 00:01:27,881
scanning for rogue planets.

31

You're more than welcome to join me.

32
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:30,675
That's the one to beat. Leonard?

33
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:33,887
Oh. If anything,
I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.

34
00:01:34,721 --> 00:01:37,098
Well, then, it looks like
we have a winner. Congratulations.

35
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,268
Well, I should warn you,
it's just looking at data

36
00:01:40,435 --> 00:01:42,103
for hours and hours on a computer screen.

37
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:44,147
Stop selling it, kid. You won.

Hi. How was your day?

41
00:02:14,928 --> 00:02:17,806
Uh, not good.
Still couldn't get in to see Dr. Gallo.

42
00:02:18,348 --> 00:02:19,599
A doctor? (GRUNTS)

43
00:02:21,392 --> 00:02:22,769
Well, I hope you're not contagious.

44
00:02:22,936 --> 00:02:24,395
I've got a weekend in the telescope room

45
00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:26,481
I've been excited about
for almost three minutes.

46
00:02:28,733 --> 00:02:29,943
I'm not sick. It's for work.

47
00:02:30,109 --> 00:02:32,570
There's this doctor
who refuses to see any sales reps.

48
00:02:32,737 --> 00:02:33,947
I've been trying to get in for months.

49
00:02:34,113 --> 00:02:37,075
Well, did you try wearing the shirt
I said was inappropriate for work?

50
00:02:37,367 --> 00:02:39,494
Well, the doctor's a woman,

51
00:02:40,245 --> 00:02:41,871
but yes, because you never know.

52
00:02:43,331 --> 00:02:44,374
What kind of doctor is she?

53
00:02:44,541 --> 00:02:46,334
Um. A psychiatrist. Why?

54
00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:48,878
Well, what if you make
an appointment as a patient?

55
00:02:49,045 --> 00:02:50,296
Then you'll get to talk to her.

56
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:52,757
Yeah, they already know
I'm a pharmaceutical sales rep.

57
00:02:52,924 --> 00:02:56,386
Oh, what if Leonard made an appointment
and tried to lay some groundwork for you?

58
00:02:56,928 --> 00:02:57,971
That's interesting.

59
00:02:58,429 --> 00:03:00,974
Well, I'm not gonna make
a fake appointment with a psychiatrist.

60
00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:02,392
What would I say is wrong with me?

61
00:03:02,559 --> 00:03:03,768
- Low self-esteem.
- Social anxiety.

62
00:03:03,935 --> 00:03:04,978
Sexual insecurity.

63
00:03:07,647 --> 00:03:08,773
None of that is true.

64
00:03:09,107 --> 00:03:11,109
Denial. See, sweetie,
the list goes on and on.

65
00:03:12,318 --> 00:03:13,361
This is crazy.

66
00:03:13,528 --> 00:03:15,029
How would my going in there even help you?

67
00:03:15,196 --> 00:03:17,407
I don't know. You could talk to her,
and maybe if it comes up,

68
00:03:17,574 --> 00:03:18,700
you could ask if she's heard
about the drug.

69

(SCOFFS) What if I get caught?

70
00:03:20,201 --> 00:03:21,452
- Fear of failure!
- Lack of confidence!

71
00:03:21,619 --> 00:03:22,662
Kind of a wuss!

72
00:03:25,206 --> 00:03:26,291
Fine, I'll do it.

73
00:03:26,457 --> 00:03:28,209
But not because of them,
because I love you.

the remodel is coming up,

95

on you guys and find my own place.

00:07:05,051 --> 00:07:06,302
Really?

162
00:07:06,886 --> 00:07:09,514
Any chance you find them
cold, cruel, and unsuitable

163
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,808
for innocent little boys
who just want to be happy?

164
00:07:13,184 --> 00:07:14,227
Well, I didn't want to say it...

165
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,187
No, no, say it. Sing it.

166
00:07:16,354 --> 00:07:18,022
Rent a plane, write it in the sky.

167
00:07:20,024 --> 00:07:22,610
Sounds like you're holding on
to quite a bit of anger towards her.

168
00:07:22,777 --> 00:07:25,029
No, I've worked through
a lot of that stuff. I'm better now.

169
00:07:25,196 --> 00:07:26,322
Hmm. Good for you.

170
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:28,616
Do you know she never let me
celebrate my birthday

171
00:07:28,783 --> 00:07:30,868
because being born
was her achievement, not mine?

172
00:07:32,537 --> 00:07:33,579
That's heartbreaking.

173
00:07:33,746 --> 00:07:37,041
Right? To this day,
I send her a card every year

174
00:07:37,208 --> 00:07:38,292
with a little money in it.

175
00:07:41,712 --> 00:07:44,090
You know, once we get
the house back to ourselves,

176
00:07:44,257 --> 00:07:47,135
we can be romantic in any room we want.

177
00:07:47,593 --> 00:07:50,138
Great. I can finally show you
where the laundry room is.

178
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:54,433
Boy, who would've thought

179
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,686
when you asked me to move in
and help take care of your mom,

180
00:07:56,853 --> 00:07:58,396
I'd still be here two years later?

181
00:07:58,938 --> 00:08:00,356
- No one.
- Nobody thought that.

182
00:08:02,775 --> 00:08:04,152
Well, that's it.

183
00:08:04,318 --> 00:08:05,611
I guess so.

184
00:08:07,989 --> 00:08:09,157
This is weird.

185
00:08:09,323 --> 00:08:13,870
(CHUCKLES) Yeah. A grown man
moving into his own apartment.

186
00:08:14,036 --> 00:08:15,496
It's crazy times. See ya!

187
00:08:18,124 --> 00:08:19,250
Ignore him.

188
00:08:19,417 --> 00:08:22,712
He's just using humor to express
how happy he is.

189
00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:26,007
It's okay. I know he loves me.

190
00:08:26,716 --> 00:08:27,842
Sure he does.

191
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:33,181
Well, let us know
when you're all settled in.

192
00:08:33,347 --> 00:08:37,059
I will. And I really can't
thank you guys enough.

193
00:08:37,393 --> 00:08:38,853
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- Our pleasure.

194
00:08:39,478 --> 00:08:41,105
- Bye.
- Good luck!

195
00:08:43,733 --> 00:08:44,775
HOWARD: <i>He's gone!</i>

196
00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:46,235
Let's start in the garage!

197
00:08:48,404 --> 00:08:49,405
(CHUCKLES)

198
00:08:56,871 --> 00:08:59,665
Okay, so, once we receive the next image

199
00:08:59,832 --> 00:09:01,918
and compare it to the ones
we've already collected,

200
00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:03,294
we'll know what it is that we found.

201
00:09:03,961 --> 00:09:06,964
Ooh, perhaps
it's a heliosheath scintillation.

202
00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:09,133
Yeah, it could be
a trans-Neptunian object.

203
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,260
(GASPS) Maybe it's a new planet.

204
00:09:11,427 --> 00:09:13,679
Unlikely, but it could be a dwarf planet.

205
00:09:13,846 --> 00:09:16,807
Well, as long as it has a healthy gravity
and all its moons, I'll be happy.

206
00:09:17,934 --> 00:09:21,145
Okay, the final image is coming in.

207
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,147
And the object we discovered is...

208
00:09:23,314 --> 00:09:24,315
Come on,

209
00:09:24,523 --> 00:09:27,235
Daddy needs a livable planet
he can rule with an iron fist.

210
00:09:29,487 --> 00:09:30,780
A medium-sized asteroid.

211
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:33,699
That's it? How common.

212
00:09:33,991 --> 00:09:36,744
That's the chicken fingers
on the menu of space.

213
00:09:38,037 --> 00:09:39,121
I kind of like chicken fingers.

214
00:09:39,288 --> 00:09:40,957
Yeah, me, too. I was stuck for a metaphor.

215
00:09:41,916 --> 00:09:46,087
Come on, a medium-sized asteroid
is still an interesting discovery.

216
00:09:46,462 --> 00:09:47,505
I suppose it could end up

217
00:09:47,672 --> 00:09:50,675
on a collision course with Earth
and destroy life as we know it.

218
00:09:52,301 --> 00:09:53,719
You dream different than me.

219
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:58,015
It is kind of cute.

220
00:09:58,182 --> 00:10:00,017
Yeah, it is.
And you know we get to name it.

221
00:10:00,184 --> 00:10:03,104
(EXCLAIMS) We better choose a name
no one can make fun of.

222
00:10:03,271 --> 00:10:06,190
Sir Friedrich William Herschel
didn't do Uranus any favors.

223
00:10:11,153 --> 00:10:13,281
- Hi.
- Hey, how'd it go?

224
00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:16,325
Great. Dr. Gallo is terrific.

225
00:10:16,492 --> 00:10:18,286
You know, I've always been insecure

226
00:10:18,452 --> 00:10:20,705
that no one cares about what I have
to say, but she made me see--

227
00:10:20,871 --> 00:10:22,707
Yeah, no one cares.
Did you help me out or not?

228
00:10:23,499 --> 00:10:25,710
Okay, now, what I'm hearing

229
00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:28,879
is that you feel that I sometimes
take too long to express myself,

230
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:30,756
and you wish I'd be more succinct.

231
00:10:30,923 --> 00:10:33,801
You're only hearing that
because I cannot roll my eyes any louder.

232
00:10:34,719 --> 00:10:37,638
All right, well, after we talked about
my issues with my mother,

233
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,807
nothing too deep,
just how she ruined my life,

234
00:10:40,766 --> 00:10:43,519
I told her about you and your drug.
She said she'd be happy to meet you.

235
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:47,189
Really?
Oh! You're the best husband ever!

236
00:10:47,565 --> 00:10:50,609
So, you'll go to the <i>Doctor Who</i> convention
with me next week?

237
00:10:51,986 --> 00:10:52,945
I guess.

238
00:10:53,112 --> 00:10:55,990
Oh, I actually did hear
your eyes roll that time. (CHUCKLES)

239
00:10:58,367 --> 00:10:59,410
(WHIRRING)

240
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:03,205
Boy, when was the last time
Stuart cleaned this place?

241
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:04,373
No kidding.

242
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:06,125
Oh. Okay, I'm about to suck something up.

243
00:11:06,334 --> 00:11:08,044
What do you think this object sounds like?

244
00:11:08,252 --> 00:11:11,088
Howie, I don't want to play
Lego, Toenail or Pill anymore.

245
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:15,634
So, what do you think
we should do with this room?

246
00:11:15,801 --> 00:11:18,220
Well, I was thinking
a home theater or a gaming room,

247
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:20,181
you know, like a man cave.

248
00:11:20,348 --> 00:11:21,724
Why can't it be a woman cave?

249
00:11:21,891 --> 00:11:23,726
As long as it has a home
theater, a video game system

250
00:11:23,893 --> 00:11:24,894
and you're not allowed in it,

251
00:11:25,061 --> 00:11:26,354
you can call it whatever you want.

252
00:11:27,938 --> 00:11:29,231
I'm being serious.

253
00:11:29,482 --> 00:11:31,484
Well, what do you think we should do?

254
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:34,612
I don't know, maybe a home office or...

255
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:36,447
Oh... (EXHALES)

256
00:11:36,989 --> 00:11:38,115
Look.

257
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:41,035
The teddy bear Stuart won
the night we took him to the fair.

258
00:11:41,202 --> 00:11:42,578
(CHUCKLES)

259
00:11:43,079 --> 00:11:44,789
He was so excited.

260
00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:46,415
Yeah.

261
00:11:46,624 --> 00:11:48,042
You know, no matter how hard they tried,

262
00:11:48,209 --> 00:11:49,794
they could not guess his age.

263
00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:53,631
I'll give it to him next time I see him.

264
00:11:54,298 --> 00:11:56,342
- Have you heard from him since he left?
<i>- No.</i>

265
00:11:56,634 --> 00:11:59,470
You'd think he would've called
once he got settled in.

266
00:12:00,096 --> 00:12:02,139
- Maybe he's busy.
- Too busy to call?

267
00:12:02,306 --> 00:12:05,643
He wasn't too busy to binge-watch
<i>Hot in Cleveland</i> with my Hulu password.

268
00:12:08,979 --> 00:12:10,106
What is happening?

269
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:12,483
Are we missing him?

270
00:12:12,942 --> 00:12:15,486
No, that's not what this feeling is.

271
00:12:16,529 --> 00:12:17,696
Is it?

272
00:12:18,739 --> 00:12:20,783
Of course not. He drove us crazy.

273
00:12:20,991 --> 00:12:23,369
Like when you were gonna make that pie

274
00:12:23,536 --> 00:12:26,080
and Stuart ate all the blueberries. God!

275
00:12:26,247 --> 00:12:29,041
And he tried to deny it,
but his teeth were all purple.

276
00:12:31,335 --> 00:12:33,170
- That was pretty cute.
- (CHUCKLES)

277
00:12:33,629 --> 00:12:34,713
Yeah.

278
00:12:35,631 --> 00:12:37,007
Ew, we are missing him!

279
00:12:41,011 --> 00:12:43,389
So I was thinking,
maybe we can come up with a name

280
00:12:43,556 --> 00:12:45,850
for the asteroid by combining our names.

281
00:12:46,016 --> 00:12:47,351
That's a great idea.

282
00:12:47,685 --> 00:12:48,727
I've got it.

283
00:12:48,894 --> 00:12:50,729
We'll call it Cooper.

284
00:12:53,816 --> 00:12:55,276
How is that both our names?

285
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:58,529
"Koo" from Koothrappali
and "per" from Cooper.

286
00:12:59,947 --> 00:13:01,866
Yeah, so it's, like, Kooper with a "K"?

287
00:13:02,366 --> 00:13:03,534
Nah, you're right, that's dumb.

288
00:13:05,369 --> 00:13:07,413
- Hey.
- Leonard, great news.

289
00:13:07,580 --> 00:13:10,875
We discovered
a medium-sized asteroid together.

290
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:12,543
Wow! That's amazing!

291
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:14,628
I'm in a pretty great mood today myself.

292
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:16,839
Okay. Guess we're gonna
talk about you now.

293
00:13:17,798 --> 00:13:20,593
Well, we are,
because Dr. Gallo made me realize

294
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:23,387
that I'm a worthwhile person
and that my feelings matter.

295
00:13:23,721 --> 00:13:26,474
I learned that for free
from a cat poster, but good for you.

296
00:13:29,602 --> 00:13:30,603
Okay, back to me.

297
00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:33,481
I discovered an asteroid,
and now I get to name it.

298
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:35,107
Wait, what happened to us?

299
00:13:35,357 --> 00:13:36,400
Now, this isn't about us,

300
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:38,402
this is about what's best
for the asteroid.

301
00:13:40,863 --> 00:13:42,072
What are you thinking of naming it?

302
00:13:42,239 --> 00:13:43,866
I haven't settled on anything yet.

303
00:13:44,033 --> 00:13:45,618
We haven't settled on anything yet.

304
00:13:45,826 --> 00:13:47,453
All right, way to go, Cat Poster.
You hang in there.

305
00:13:50,206 --> 00:13:52,082
You know what'd be nice?
Name it after your girlfriends.

306
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:53,334
Show them how much you care.

307
00:13:54,877 --> 00:13:56,921
- That is a great idea.
- It's perfect.

308
00:13:57,087 --> 00:13:59,256
It appears romantic, but it's really just

309
00:13:59,423 --> 00:14:02,051
a rock in space that gets me
out of Valentine's Day forever.

310
00:14:04,595 --> 00:14:06,889
So, uh, what were you thinking?
Combine their names?

311
00:14:07,056 --> 00:14:08,182
Mmm. I like it.

312
00:14:08,349 --> 00:14:11,268
Yeah, we'll take the "A-M" from Amy

313
00:14:11,435 --> 00:14:12,937
and the "Y" from Emily.

314
00:14:15,439 --> 00:14:16,649
That's just Amy.

315
00:14:16,815 --> 00:14:18,567
Exactly. See how well we work together?

316
00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:22,780
And in double-blind studies,

317
00:14:22,947 --> 00:14:25,074
Placinex proved
extremely effective in treating

318
00:14:25,241 --> 00:14:26,784
all kinds of anxiety.

319
00:14:26,951 --> 00:14:28,994
Actually, funny story, the boys in the lab

320
00:14:29,161 --> 00:14:31,830
were worried about getting
FDA approval for Placinex.

321
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:33,874
They started taking it, stopped worrying.

322
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:35,042
So...

323
00:14:35,626 --> 00:14:36,794
Got it.

324
00:14:36,961 --> 00:14:38,128
Do you have any questions?

325
00:14:38,295 --> 00:14:39,547
<i>- Just one.</i>
- Mmm-hmm.

326
00:14:40,673 --> 00:14:42,466
When you made your husband
pretend to be a patient

327
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:46,637
so you could get access to me,
what were you thinking there?

328
00:14:48,681 --> 00:14:51,392
I just meant a question about the drug.

329
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:54,311
Yeah, I know what you meant.

330
00:14:54,478 --> 00:14:58,566
Let's put that aside for a minute
and talk about why you married Leonard.

331
00:14:59,650 --> 00:15:00,818
(SOFTLY) I don't wanna.

332
00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:05,281
Here is a man
raised by an overbearing woman

333
00:15:05,447 --> 00:15:08,826
who completely dominated
every aspect of his formative years.

334
00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:10,703
Do you think

335
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:15,165
he's perpetuating that relationship
by seeking out a partner like you?

336
00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:20,087
You know, I used to wear tank tops a lot.

337
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:21,839
That was a big selling point.

338
00:15:25,301 --> 00:15:26,510
<i>Hi, Sheldon. What's up?</i>

339
00:15:27,136 --> 00:15:29,388
Good news. You're an asteroid.

340
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,352
<i>Uh. Please tell me what to say next.</i>

341
00:15:37,021 --> 00:15:38,272
Perhaps I should explain.

342
00:15:38,439 --> 00:15:39,857
While working with Koothrappali,

343
00:15:40,024 --> 00:15:43,319
we discovered an asteroid,
and I named it after you.

344
00:15:43,986 --> 00:15:45,321
Oh. (CHUCKLES)

345
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:49,450
<i>Sheldon, thank you. That's so romantic.</i>

346
00:15:49,617 --> 00:15:50,993
<i>But what about Rajesh?</i>

347
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,037
<i>He was okay with you choosing the name?</i>

348
00:15:53,245 --> 00:15:55,956
Well, it took a little negotiating,
but I wore him down.

349
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:57,374
<i>We get the asteroid,</i>

350
00:15:57,541 --> 00:15:59,251
and if you and I have children,

351
00:15:59,418 --> 00:16:01,295
they all have to be named Rajesh.

352
00:16:04,006 --> 00:16:05,049
<i>All of them?</i>

353
00:16:05,215 --> 00:16:06,300
Even the girls.

354
00:16:09,178 --> 00:16:11,055
<i>Okay, I think I know what to say now.</i>

355
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:15,100
How can I not sound like his mother

356
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:17,394
when our entire bedroom
is filled with <i>Star Wars</i> toys?

357
00:16:17,561 --> 00:16:20,397
I mean, have you ever had sex
with a stuffed Wookiee watching you?

358
00:16:21,815 --> 00:16:24,360
I went to college in the '70s.
It was a hairier time.

359
00:16:24,526 --> 00:16:25,736
I'm gonna say yes.

360
00:16:27,237 --> 00:16:29,531
You know, if anything,
he's turning me into his mother.

361
00:16:29,698 --> 00:16:31,909
Before I did pharmaceutical sales,
I was an actress.

362
00:16:32,242 --> 00:16:33,619
You know, I was pretty good.

363
00:16:33,786 --> 00:16:36,246
You know, girl-next-door type, but hot.

364
00:16:36,497 --> 00:16:37,623
Doable.

365
00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:39,541
Hmm.

366
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:41,293
And not only am I Leonard's mother,

367
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:44,088
but we have this man-child
living with us named Sheldon.

368
00:16:44,505 --> 00:16:47,007
Oh, Leonard talked a lot about him.

369
00:16:47,466 --> 00:16:48,926
I wasn't sure if he was real.

370
00:16:51,095 --> 00:16:52,763
Yeah, he's as real as the fine I get

371
00:16:52,930 --> 00:16:54,682
when I use too much toilet paper.

372
00:16:56,517 --> 00:16:59,436
Wow. You really do have
a lot on your plate.

373
00:16:59,603 --> 00:17:01,188
(SIGHS) I do.

374
00:17:02,356 --> 00:17:04,400
You know, Leonard's right.

375
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:06,110
Talking to you is really helping.

376
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:07,778
Oh, I'm glad.

377
00:17:07,945 --> 00:17:11,782
You know, you might also benefit
from a prescription for anxiety.

378
00:17:12,116 --> 00:17:13,617
Okay, if you think it'll help.

379
00:17:13,784 --> 00:17:15,369
Oh! Just don't make it Placinex.

380
00:17:15,536 --> 00:17:17,746
I do not need
sudden fits of homicidal rage.

381
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:23,460
<i>I miss you.</i>

382
00:17:23,752 --> 00:17:25,129
I miss you as well.

383
00:17:25,546 --> 00:17:27,297
I can't believe I miss Stuart.

384
00:17:28,006 --> 00:17:30,008
I guess I just miss when life was simpler.

385
00:17:30,175 --> 00:17:32,344
ALL: Go, Leonard! Go, Leonard!

386
00:17:32,511 --> 00:17:34,054
Go, Leonard! Go, Leonard!

387
00:17:34,221 --> 00:17:36,390
Remember, girls,
you decide what makes you happy,

388
00:17:36,557 --> 00:17:38,559
not your emotionally withholding mothers.

389
00:17:39,143 --> 00:17:41,270
Go, Leonard! Go, Leonard!

390
00:17:41,437 --> 00:17:44,148
Go, Leonard! Go, Leonard! Go, Leonard!

391
00:17:56,702 --> 00:17:57,828
(INHALES DEEPLY)

392
00:17:57,995 --> 00:17:59,204
(SOFTLY) I really miss this.

393
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:29,943
