Sheldon Cooper's
descent into madness...
3
00:00:05,847 --> 00:00:09,315
day two.
4
00:00:09,317 --> 00:00:10,850
It's 2:25 a.m.,
5
00:00:10,852 --> 00:00:14,787
and I feel the urge to urinate.
6
00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:18,090
My normal urination time
is 7:10 a.m.,
7
00:00:18,092 --> 00:00:21,027
but here I am,
in the middle of the night,
8
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:23,195
struggling to keep my mind sharp
9
00:00:23,197 --> 00:00:26,999
and my pajamas dry.
10
00:00:27,001 --> 00:00:28,301
It's only a matter of time
11
00:00:28,303 --> 00:00:32,872
before my tenuous grasp
on reality fades.
12
00:00:32,874 --> 00:00:36,842
I suppose I should pee while
I still know what a toilet is.
13
00:00:39,681 --> 00:00:43,683
(hums tune)
14
00:00:43,685 --> 00:00:47,019
(repeats tune)
15
00:00:47,889 --> 00:00:51,290
(repeats tune)
16
00:00:51,292 --> 00:00:54,160
Since when do you hum songs?
17
00:00:54,162 --> 00:00:55,294
What are you talking
about?
18
00:00:55,296 --> 00:00:56,595
You were just humming.
Are you sure?
19
00:00:56,597 --> 00:00:59,565
Sometimes when my brain
really gets moving,
20
00:00:59,567 --> 00:01:02,134
it makes noise.
21
00:01:02,136 --> 00:01:04,437
How does your brain feel about
calculating the surface tension
22
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:05,705
of the domain walls?
23
00:01:05,707 --> 00:01:08,007
Let's see.
24
00:01:08,009 --> 00:01:09,208
(begins tune)
25
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:12,311
Hey! I was humming.
26
00:01:12,313 --> 00:01:15,514
One point
for Hufflepuff.
27
00:01:15,516 --> 00:01:18,451
(repeats tune)
28
00:01:18,453 --> 00:01:20,386
What song is that?
29
00:01:20,388 --> 00:01:23,222
Well... Hum it again.
30
00:01:23,224 --> 00:01:25,124
(repeats tune)
31
00:01:25,126 --> 00:01:26,926
Is that the SpongeBob song?
32
00:01:26,928 --> 00:01:31,097
(to same tune): ♪ Who lives

33
00:01:31,099 --> 00:01:32,498
Whatever. Can we just
get back to this?
34
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:33,866
I feel like I know
what song that is,
35
00:01:33,868 --> 00:01:36,402
but I can't put
my finger on it.

53
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:27,159
Hello, yes, I was hoping
you could help me.
54
00:02:27,161 --> 00:02:31,731
What song is this?
♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la. ♪
55
00:02:31,733 --> 00:02:33,132
You don't know?

Well, how dare you
call yourselves
57
00:02:34,602 --> 00:02:37,903
a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
58
00:02:37,905 --> 00:02:40,706
My goodness. Do you sing along
to the greatest hits
59
00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:43,009
of Elvis Presley
with that mouth?
60
00:02:43,011 --> 00:02:45,478
Well, they were no help at all.
Which is crazy,
61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,515
since rock and roll is all
about good customer service.
62
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:51,550
Yeah. So you have a song
stuck in your head.
63
00:02:51,552 --> 00:02:52,818
It happens to everybody.
64
00:02:52,820 --> 00:02:54,887
Well, I'm not everybody.
I have an eidetic memory.
65
00:02:54,889 --> 00:02:57,089
I should be able to remember
what song this is,
66
00:02:57,091 --> 00:02:58,024
but I can't.
67
00:02:58,026 --> 00:02:59,892
Something's wrong with me.
68
00:02:59,894 --> 00:03:02,962
I told you if we were patient,
he'd figure it out for himself.
69
00:03:02,964 --> 00:03:05,698
Oh... I was always afraid
this day would come.
70
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,302
This might be the first step
of my descent into madness,
71
00:03:09,304 --> 00:03:12,938
where I gradually test
the limits of public nudity.
72
00:03:13,775 --> 00:03:14,740
Public nudity?
73
00:03:14,742 --> 00:03:17,977
Eh, that just means
going barefoot.
74
00:03:22,016 --> 00:03:23,516
(sighs)
75
00:03:23,518 --> 00:03:25,785
(phone line ringing)
76
00:03:25,787 --> 00:03:27,887
Hello?
Hi, Dave.
77
00:03:27,889 --> 00:03:29,188
Uh, it's Amy.
78
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:31,791
Oh. How are you?
I'm fine. How are you?
79
00:03:31,793 --> 00:03:34,827
Terrific. And pleasantly
surprised to hear from you,
80
00:03:34,829 --> 00:03:37,363
given how I acted
on our last date.
81
00:03:37,365 --> 00:03:38,397
Yeah, well,
82
00:03:38,399 --> 00:03:39,832
we both made mistakes, you know.
83
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:42,802
I took the last breadstick,
you gushed over my ex-boyfriend
84
00:03:42,804 --> 00:03:47,006
like he was Leonard Nimoy
and you were my ex-boyfriend.
85
00:03:47,008 --> 00:03:49,375
So, to what do I owe
the pleasure?
86
00:03:49,377 --> 00:03:51,310
Well, I was wondering
87
00:03:51,312 --> 00:03:54,046
if you'd like to get dinner
again sometime.
88
00:03:54,048 --> 00:03:55,681
Yes, please.
89
00:03:55,683 --> 00:03:58,551
Great.
Let me just check
90
00:03:58,553 --> 00:04:00,353
my schedule, he said,
91
00:04:00,355 --> 00:04:03,189
trying to seem like a man
with things on his schedule.
92
00:04:03,191 --> 00:04:05,491
How 'bout Saturday?
93
00:04:05,493 --> 00:04:06,859
Uh, hmm...
94
00:04:06,861 --> 00:04:08,361
Let me see. Uh, Friday,
95
00:04:08,363 --> 00:04:10,029
farmers' market with Jay Z.
96
00:04:10,031 --> 00:04:13,032
Sunday, piano shopping
with Elton John.
97
00:04:13,034 --> 00:04:14,700
Saturday works.
98
00:04:16,838 --> 00:04:20,339
Oh. Did you know,
at the United Nations,
99
00:04:20,341 --> 00:04:23,042
there's a Department
for Outer Space Affairs?
100
00:04:23,044 --> 00:04:24,643
Really? Why?
101
00:04:24,645 --> 00:04:26,379
They exist
in case we ever make contact
102
00:04:26,381 --> 00:04:27,780
with an alien civilization.
103
00:04:27,782 --> 00:04:31,317
Mm, boy, that's one of those
jobs that's boring, boring,
104
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,119
boring, then, "Oh, God!
105
00:04:33,121 --> 00:04:36,389
Where's the memo
with what we do now?!"
106
00:04:36,391 --> 00:04:37,423
(phone chimes)
107
00:04:37,425 --> 00:04:39,058
Oh, this is cool.
108
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:41,427
So, a few weeks ago,
I set up a fan page
109
00:04:41,429 --> 00:04:44,163
on Facebook for our band and...
Wait a second.
110
00:04:44,165 --> 00:04:47,600
How could you do that
without consulting me?
111
00:04:47,602 --> 00:04:48,634
It's not a big deal.
112
00:04:48,636 --> 00:04:49,902
It just took, like,
five minutes to set up.
113
00:04:49,904 --> 00:04:51,504
That's not the point.
114
00:04:51,506 --> 00:04:54,340
When we created
Footprints on the Moon,
115
00:04:54,342 --> 00:04:58,043
we agreed that every band
decision would be mutual.
116
00:04:58,045 --> 00:05:00,346
Now you're just trying to
take over the whole thing.
117
00:05:00,348 --> 00:05:03,783
You know,
maybe I should go solo.
118
00:05:03,785 --> 00:05:05,818
But someone joined
our page.
119
00:05:05,820 --> 00:05:07,787
We have an actual fan.
120
00:05:07,789 --> 00:05:09,688
All right.
121
00:05:09,690 --> 00:05:12,024
This thing's bigger than you
and me-- band's back together.
122
00:05:14,162 --> 00:05:15,594
So, listen to what he wrote.
123
00:05:15,596 --> 00:05:18,397
Uh, "I saw you play
at the comic book store.
124
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:19,732
You guys rock."
125
00:05:19,734 --> 00:05:22,034
And then there's
a animated smiley face
126
00:05:22,036 --> 00:05:24,236
raising the roof like this...
127
00:05:26,174 --> 00:05:27,740
We did raise the roof
that night.
128
00:05:27,742 --> 00:05:29,375
Yeah, we totally did.
Why do rock stars
129
00:05:29,377 --> 00:05:32,845

and do something
else for a while?
138
00:05:58,539 --> 00:06:01,674
There was a project I've
been thinking about starting.
139
00:06:01,676 --> 00:06:02,908
Okay, great. What is it?
140
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:05,077
I'll show you.
141
00:06:07,949 --> 00:06:10,683
Dear Crazy Future Sheldon,
142
00:06:10,685 --> 00:06:13,018
you were driven mad
by an earworm.
143
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:15,387
Your mind,
once your most trusted asset,
144
00:06:15,389 --> 00:06:18,357
is now a sack of parrots
and monkeys.
145
00:06:18,359 --> 00:06:19,959
So...
146
00:06:19,961 --> 00:06:21,794
I'm going to tell you
everything you need to know.
147
00:06:21,796 --> 00:06:24,096
Uh, first, music is dangerous.
148
00:06:24,098 --> 00:06:27,333
The movie Footloose tried to
warn us, but we wouldn't listen.

I'll pay $1,000 to watch you
cut footloose.
152
00:06:37,512 --> 00:06:39,678
This is Penny.
153
00:06:40,515 --> 00:06:43,282
She is your friend.
154
00:06:43,284 --> 00:06:45,751
If she offers you food,
it's safe to take it.
155
00:06:45,753 --> 00:06:48,554
You probably
paid for it, anyway.
156
00:06:50,725 --> 00:06:52,758
So, you're really going out
with Dave again?
157
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,993
Why not?
158
00:06:53,995 --> 00:06:55,327
He's actually a very nice guy.
159
00:06:55,329 --> 00:06:57,196
But he spent an entire date
160
00:06:57,198 --> 00:06:59,532
talking about how much
he loves Sheldon.
161
00:06:59,534 --> 00:07:01,667
That's nothing Sheldon
hasn't done before.
162
00:07:03,638 --> 00:07:05,404
Dave's just a big
fan of his work.
163
00:07:05,406 --> 00:07:08,173
Besides, he said he
wouldn't bring it up again.
164
00:07:08,175 --> 00:07:10,409
Okay. So where's he taking you?
165
00:07:10,411 --> 00:07:13,479
Oh, he's coming here.
I'm actually making dinner.
166
00:07:13,481 --> 00:07:15,548
Oh. That's a big step.
167
00:07:15,550 --> 00:07:16,882
It is?
168
00:07:16,884 --> 00:07:19,318
Yeah. You're inviting him
into your home.
169
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,619
It's intimate.
170
00:07:20,621 --> 00:07:23,556
It's where your underpants live.
171
00:07:23,558 --> 00:07:25,891
You know what? Good.
172
00:07:25,893 --> 00:07:29,428
I tried to get back together
with Sheldon; he shot me down;
173
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:30,829
Dave likes me.
174
00:07:30,831 --> 00:07:33,966
Maybe intimate
is what I need.
175
00:07:33,968 --> 00:07:35,267
You sure?
176
00:07:35,269 --> 00:07:38,003
You've never really been
with a man.
177
00:07:38,005 --> 00:07:42,241
Do you really want to start
with one that's six-foot-seven?
178
00:07:42,243 --> 00:07:44,343
Why not?
179
00:07:44,345 --> 00:07:47,646
'Cause it's like taking
your driver's test in a bus.
180
00:07:51,352 --> 00:07:54,720
Maybe we should post a comment
back to our fan and thank him.
181
00:07:54,722 --> 00:07:56,188
What should we write?
182
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:58,924
How 'bout, uh...
Oh, how 'bout,
183
00:07:58,926 --> 00:08:00,726
"We might be
Footprints on the Moon,
184
00:08:00,728 --> 00:08:05,297
but your kind words sent
us over the moon."
185
00:08:05,299 --> 00:08:08,867
Someday you're gonna make
an amazing grandma.
186
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:10,502
What do you
want to write?
187
00:08:10,504 --> 00:08:13,539
Something bad-ass,
you know, like...
188
00:08:13,541 --> 00:08:15,574
"Thanks for diggin' our vibe.
189
00:08:15,576 --> 00:08:17,343
"We'll keep rockin'
190
00:08:17,345 --> 00:08:20,679
if you keep rollin'."
191
00:08:20,681 --> 00:08:22,181
Dude, if I was wearing a bra,
192
00:08:22,183 --> 00:08:24,984
I'd throw it at
your head right now.
193
00:08:24,986 --> 00:08:27,753
I'll keep rockin'.
You don't do that.
194
00:08:29,757 --> 00:08:31,991
Okay. I posted it.
195
00:08:31,993 --> 00:08:33,492
So, who is this guy?
196
00:08:33,494 --> 00:08:37,129
Let's see.
Uh, his name is Trent Monaco.
197
00:08:37,131 --> 00:08:39,298
Cool name.
Yeah.
198
00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:41,934
He's 24. He's a deejay.
199
00:08:41,936 --> 00:08:44,136
He brews his own beer.
He's got
200
00:08:44,138 --> 00:08:47,906
awesome tattoos. Dude, he's
got a hot girlfriend, too.
201
00:08:47,908 --> 00:08:52,111
Damn. I don't know if he's
our biggest fan or I'm his.
202
00:08:52,113 --> 00:08:53,712
(phone chimes)
203
00:08:53,714 --> 00:08:55,881
Hey, Trent just liked
our comment.
204
00:08:55,883 --> 00:08:58,050
He is so cool!
205
00:08:58,052 --> 00:08:59,385
No hard feelings,
206
00:08:59,387 --> 00:09:01,987
but I'm throwing my
hypothetical bra at him.
207
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,828
(tune playing on keyboard
in distance)
208
00:09:10,665 --> 00:09:14,266
(tune repeating, slower)
209
00:09:14,268 --> 00:09:17,569
Oh, my God, he won't stop.
210
00:09:17,571 --> 00:09:21,240
How does he keep coming up
with new ways to be annoying?
211
00:09:21,242 --> 00:09:24,643
Nobody knows.
That's why he's number one.
212
00:09:25,946 --> 00:09:28,047
Can you please go talk
to him?
213
00:09:28,049 --> 00:09:30,883
Come on. I take care of him all
day long. You do it for once.
214
00:09:30,885 --> 00:09:33,952
Once? Who got the gum
out of his hair?
215
00:09:33,954 --> 00:09:37,656
What do you want, a medal?
It was your gum.
216
00:09:37,658 --> 00:09:40,659
Fine.
(groans)
217
00:09:40,661 --> 00:09:41,794
I love you.
218
00:09:41,796 --> 00:09:43,162
Who cares?
219
00:09:43,164 --> 00:09:45,931
(tune repeating)
220
00:09:45,933 --> 00:09:47,900
SHELDON: What are you
doing in my room? I...
221
00:09:47,902 --> 00:09:50,769
(banging on keys; discordant notes sounding)
Stop it! That's mine!
222
00:09:50,771 --> 00:09:53,672
Why are you so strong?!
223
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:58,410
(keyboard plays discordant notes)
Problem solved.
224
00:09:58,412 --> 00:10:00,145
(groans)
225
00:10:00,147 --> 00:10:02,047
(grunts)
226
00:10:02,049 --> 00:10:03,182
(sighs)
227
00:10:03,184 --> 00:10:07,786
(tune playing on tuba
in distance)
228
00:10:09,356 --> 00:10:11,190
Oh, yeah,
he got a tuba.
229
00:10:11,192 --> 00:10:13,392
(tune repeats)
230
00:10:20,562 --> 00:10:24,564
Dear Crazy Future Sheldon...
231
00:10:24,566 --> 00:10:26,566
this is a thermostat.
232
00:10:26,568 --> 00:10:29,803
It controls the temperature
of the apartment.
233
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:33,540
The ideal setting is 72 degrees.
234
00:10:33,542 --> 00:10:36,576
If you find this too cold,
then put on a jacket.
235
00:10:36,578 --> 00:10:40,413
A straitjacket, 'cause 72's
the best and you're crazy.
236
00:10:41,283 --> 00:10:43,449
Now... this...
237
00:10:43,451 --> 00:10:45,318
is your spot.
238
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,554
You're very protective of it.
239
00:10:47,556 --> 00:10:49,522
When anyone else tries
to sit here,
240
00:10:49,524 --> 00:10:51,457
you berate them relentlessly.
241
00:10:51,459 --> 00:10:55,161
It sounds mean, but
somehow you make it adorable.
242
00:10:56,898 --> 00:10:59,799
People are also delighted
by your love of pranks.
243
00:11:00,936 --> 00:11:03,436
(quietly):
For example, Leonard has no idea
244
00:11:03,438 --> 00:11:04,904
what I did to his coffee.
245
00:11:07,042 --> 00:11:09,175
It wasn't "replace it
with Folger's crystals,"
246
00:11:09,177 --> 00:11:11,211
I'll tell you that much.
247
00:11:11,213 --> 00:11:13,847
Hey, can we please
get back to work?
248
00:11:13,849 --> 00:11:15,548
This is Leonard.
249
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:17,383
He's your best friend
in the world.
250
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,786
All right, just stop.
This is ridiculous.
251
00:11:21,356 --> 00:11:23,857
Sometimes he gets cranky,
252
00:11:23,859 --> 00:11:26,693
but you can trust him
with your life.
253
00:11:26,695 --> 00:11:30,063
And he does more things for you
than I can even begin to list.
254
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:33,266
Thank you.
255
00:11:33,268 --> 00:11:35,501
Oh, no, he's drinking it.
256
00:11:38,506 --> 00:11:39,739
(gunfire sounding on videogame)
257
00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:40,940
Look at this.
258
00:11:40,942 --> 00:11:43,776
Trent is rebuilding
a vintage motorcycle.
259
00:11:43,778 --> 00:11:46,512
Hmm.
That is so cool!
260
00:11:46,514 --> 00:11:48,481
Old broken things
are so much better
261
00:11:48,483 --> 00:11:51,584
than new things that work.
262
00:11:51,586 --> 00:11:53,052
Who's Trent?
263
00:11:53,054 --> 00:11:54,287
Oh, he's our fan.
264
00:11:54,289 --> 00:11:56,389
Fan of what?
WOLOWITZ: Uh...
265
00:11:56,391 --> 00:11:59,893
(laughs): Did you forget?
We're in a band.
266
00:11:59,895 --> 00:12:02,629
You mean because you played one
time in the comic book store?
267
00:12:02,631 --> 00:12:06,566
And at the children's hospital
until they asked us to leave.
268
00:12:06,568 --> 00:12:08,034
KOOTHRAPPALI:
Hey,
269
00:12:08,036 --> 00:12:11,070
dude, Trent just checked in at
the coffee shop on Fair Oaks.
270
00:12:11,072 --> 00:12:14,040
Really? You want to go
down there and meet him?
271
00:12:14,042 --> 00:12:16,309
Are you stalking him?
That's creepy.
272
00:12:16,311 --> 00:12:17,677
It's not creepy.
273
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,013
I built a Footprints on the Moon
fan page, Trent joined it.
274
00:12:20,015 --> 00:12:22,048
After that, all I did was
check out his profile,
275
00:12:22,050 --> 00:12:23,549
go back in the archive
of his feed
276
00:12:23,551 --> 00:12:24,984
until I found
his Twitter handle.
277
00:12:24,986 --> 00:12:27,253
From there, it was easy to find
him on Instagram, Snapchat
278
00:12:27,255 --> 00:12:28,788
and pretty much track
his every movement.
279
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,858
So if you think that's creepy,
you married the wrong guy.
280
00:12:32,694 --> 00:12:34,694
Maybe I should marry Trent.
281
00:12:34,696 --> 00:12:37,897
Yeah, like she
could get Trent.
282
00:12:37,899 --> 00:12:39,565
(laughing)
283
00:12:40,735 --> 00:12:42,101
This is delicious.
284
00:12:42,103 --> 00:12:43,336
Thank you.
285
00:12:43,338 --> 00:12:45,939
Been a long time since
I had a home-cooked meal.
286
00:12:45,941 --> 00:12:48,141
When you were married,
did your wife cook?
287
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:49,809
Not at first, no.
288
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:52,412
But when she began cheating
on me with a French chef,
289
00:12:52,414 --> 00:12:54,714
she became quite the wiz
in t kitchen.
290
00:12:54,716 --> 00:12:56,282
So, a little silver lining.
291
00:12:56,284 --> 00:12:57,650
I suppose.
292
00:12:57,652 --> 00:13:00,653
Yeah. Nothing takes the sting
out of a shattered life
293
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:04,157
like a properly-seasoned
bowl of onion soup.
294
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:06,793
How long have you,
uh, lived here?
295
00:13:06,795 --> 00:13:08,795
About five years.
296
00:13:08,797 --> 00:13:11,097
I'm actually thinking
of moving to a better place
297
00:13:11,099 --> 00:13:13,466
now that I don't need
to be so close to...
298
00:13:13,468 --> 00:13:14,968
Well, you know.
299
00:13:14,970 --> 00:13:16,869
I do. The brilliant physicist
300
00:13:16,871 --> 00:13:20,139
that I now know lives
in the area, not that I care.
301
00:13:20,141 --> 00:13:22,775
Yeah. Anyway, he doesn't drive,
302
00:13:22,777 --> 00:13:25,278
so, I pretty much had
to take him everywhere.
303
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,046
Had to or got to?
304
00:13:27,048 --> 00:13:28,214
Sorry.
305
00:13:28,216 --> 00:13:30,717
My fault. I brought him up.
Yeah.
306
00:13:30,719 --> 00:13:32,051
Well, let's change the subject.
307
00:13:32,053 --> 00:13:34,020
No more mentions
of you-know-who.
308
00:13:34,022 --> 00:13:35,755
(laughs)
That's a cool train.
309
00:13:35,757 --> 00:13:37,924
Where did you get that?
310
00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:41,928
♪ Bah, bah, bum-bum,
bah, bum, bum. ♪
311
00:13:43,765 --> 00:13:46,432

312
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:52,138
(gargling song)
313
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:53,673
This song
314
00:13:53,675 --> 00:13:54,874
is never going to stop.
315
00:13:54,876 --> 00:13:56,409
Have you ever dealt
with something
316
00:13:56,411 --> 00:13:59,012
so relentlessly irritating?
317
00:13:59,881 --> 00:14:03,449
That's a trick
question, right?
318
00:14:03,451 --> 00:14:04,984
Well, I shouldn't
be surprised.
319
00:14:04,986 --> 00:14:06,486
There's a rich history of
320
00:14:06,488 --> 00:14:08,154
brilliant minds
descending into madness.
321
00:14:08,156 --> 00:14:09,655
PENNY:
Come on, Sheldon.
322
00:14:09,657 --> 00:14:12,358
There are plenty of smart people
who don't have mental problems.
323
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,493
Yup, she's right.
324
00:14:13,495 --> 00:14:15,461
For every Newton who had
a psychological issue,
325
00:14:15,463 --> 00:14:17,363
there's an Edison
who was just a jerk.
326
00:14:17,365 --> 00:14:19,766
That could
totally be you.
327
00:14:19,768 --> 00:14:23,636
Empedocles thought he was a god
and jumped into a volcano.
328
00:14:23,638 --> 00:14:25,204
And Pythagoras had
329
00:14:25,206 --> 00:14:26,873
an irrational fear of beans.
330
00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:29,242
Tesla fell madly in love
with a pigeon
331
00:14:29,244 --> 00:14:32,378
who he claimed loved him back.
332
00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:35,515
Maybe he just had bread
in his pocket.
333
00:14:36,851 --> 00:14:38,785
The list extends
outside of science.
334
00:14:38,787 --> 00:14:41,754
Painters like Van Gogh
and Pollock,
335
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:43,623
chess champion Bobby Fischer,
336
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:46,592
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boy...
337
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:50,063

340
00:14:57,505 --> 00:14:59,038
I remember the song!
341
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,907
It's called
"Darlin'" by the Beach Boys!
342
00:15:00,909 --> 00:15:02,408
Oh, thank goodness!
343
00:15:02,410 --> 00:15:04,811
I'm not crazy!
344
00:15:04,813 --> 00:15:07,480
I don't have
to take a pigeon as my bride!
345
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:13,052
There goes our shot at
him living on the roof.
346
00:15:15,256 --> 00:15:18,458
So, all right, there he is.
347
00:15:19,294 --> 00:15:21,461
So, should we
introduce ourselves?
348
00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:24,030
No! Let him spot us.
349
00:15:24,032 --> 00:15:25,565
KOOTHRAPPALI:
I wonder
350
00:15:25,567 --> 00:15:28,034
if he's listening
to our music right now.
351
00:15:28,036 --> 00:15:29,335
Could you imagine?
352
00:15:29,337 --> 00:15:31,270
What a cool way
for us to meet.
353
00:15:31,272 --> 00:15:34,740
He's playing our song and
looks up, and there we are--
354
00:15:34,742 --> 00:15:38,945
his favorite two-piece acoustic
sci-fi novelty rock band.
355
00:15:38,947 --> 00:15:40,413
And he's, all, like,
356
00:15:40,415 --> 00:15:43,583
"Aren't you the guys from
Footprints on the Moo...?"
357
00:15:43,585 --> 00:15:45,451
Ooh, what is he doing?!
358
00:15:48,823 --> 00:15:50,089
I can't watch.
359
00:15:50,091 --> 00:15:51,691
I-I-It's okay.
360
00:15:51,693 --> 00:15:53,559
Oh, it's okay.
He's done.
361
00:15:53,561 --> 00:15:55,761
Why is he looking at it?!
362
00:15:56,831 --> 00:16:00,199
Eh, no, he's not going
to eat it, is he?
363
00:16:00,201 --> 00:16:01,834
Come on, Trent,
you're better than...
364
00:16:01,836 --> 00:16:04,070
(both groaning)
365
00:16:06,474 --> 00:16:09,175
Let's just go.
366
00:16:09,177 --> 00:16:12,211
Hey, aren't you
the guys...?
367
00:16:12,213 --> 00:16:15,281
Nope!
Never heard of 'em!
368
00:16:16,384 --> 00:16:19,385
♪ ...Know if words could say ♪
369
00:16:19,387 --> 00:16:20,820
♪ But darlin',
I'll find a way... ♪
370
00:16:20,822 --> 00:16:22,722
I wonder why it was
this particular song
371
00:16:22,724 --> 00:16:24,257
that was stuck
in my head.
372
00:16:24,259 --> 00:16:25,958
I don't know.
It's pretty catchy.
373
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,560
Do you even like the Beach Boys?
374
00:16:27,562 --> 00:16:29,529
They have "beach"
right in the name.
375
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:31,898
What do you think?
376
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:34,233
Well, now that you can focus
again, what do you say
377
00:16:34,235 --> 00:16:36,169
we get back to surface tension
of domain walls?
378
00:16:36,171 --> 00:16:38,838
Of course. I'm already
seeing a more efficient way
379
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,174
of taming the ultravi...
380
00:16:41,176 --> 00:16:43,609
I know why
the song was in my head.
381
00:16:43,611 --> 00:16:46,179
Why?
It's about Amy.
382
00:16:46,181 --> 00:16:48,548
Okay, look, I know
Amy's like an old lady,
383
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:50,716
but she's not old enough
to have a song
384
00:16:50,718 --> 00:16:52,818
from the '60s written about her.
385
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:54,854
It's about
how she made my life better.
386
00:16:54,856 --> 00:16:56,222
Consider the lyrics.
387
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:58,391
"I was living like half a man.
388
00:16:58,393 --> 00:17:00,860
"Then I couldn't love,
but now I can.
389
00:17:00,862 --> 00:17:02,061
"More soul than
390
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:03,062
"I ever had.
391
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:05,631
I love the way
you soften my life."
392
00:17:05,633 --> 00:17:08,568
Well, she did soften your life,
didn't she?
393
00:17:08,570 --> 00:17:09,936
Yes!
394
00:17:09,938 --> 00:17:12,505
She's like
the dryer sheets of my heart!
395
00:17:14,909 --> 00:17:16,108
I have to go.
396
00:17:18,313 --> 00:17:20,246
Aw.
397
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:22,882
Am I like the dryer
sheets of your heart?
398
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,553
Better. You're the
lint trap of my love.
399
00:17:27,555 --> 00:17:29,555
Aw.
400
00:17:38,066 --> 00:17:39,732
That's an interesting
tie clip.
401
00:17:39,734 --> 00:17:40,900
Oh, thanks.
402
00:17:40,902 --> 00:17:42,668
It's, uh, Avogadro's constant.
403
00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:45,571
It's useful for calculating the
number of atoms in a substance,
404
00:17:45,573 --> 00:17:49,475
or causing regret
in anyone who asks about it.
405
00:17:49,477 --> 00:17:50,977
Oh, I...
406
00:17:50,979 --> 00:17:53,646
I think it's neat.
407
00:17:53,648 --> 00:17:55,448
Oh!
Sorry. Sorry.
408
00:17:55,450 --> 00:17:57,416
No one's ever liked
the tie clip before,
409
00:17:57,418 --> 00:18:00,253
so I just lost
all control. I...
410
00:18:00,255 --> 00:18:02,855
No, it... it's okay,
and we are on a date.
411
00:18:02,857 --> 00:18:05,291
I'm... I'm just
a little nervous.
412
00:18:05,293 --> 00:18:08,427
Well, no need
to be nervous with me.
413
00:18:08,429 --> 00:18:11,464
I'm just a harmless giant
from a foreign land.
414
00:18:14,402 --> 00:18:16,636
You know, I'm just
being silly. I...
415
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:19,372
I don't know what
I'm waiting for.
416
00:18:22,043 --> 00:18:22,942
(knocking)
SHELDON: Amy?
417
00:18:22,944 --> 00:18:24,510
(knocking)
Amy.
418
00:18:24,512 --> 00:18:25,778
(knocking)
Amy?
419
00:18:26,848 --> 00:18:28,881
That's Sheldon.
420
00:18:28,883 --> 00:18:30,983
You're kidding!
How's my hair?
421
00:18:36,791 --> 00:18:39,191
Sheldon, this-this isn't
a good time.
422
00:18:39,193 --> 00:18:40,760
I don't care.
423
00:18:40,762 --> 00:18:43,329
Amy, there was a song I
couldn't get out of my head.
424
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:46,532
Eventually, I realized
the song was about you,
425
00:18:46,534 --> 00:18:51,237
and like that earworm, I can't
get you out of my heart.
426
00:18:51,239 --> 00:18:54,006
So, what I'm trying to say is,
427
00:18:54,008 --> 00:18:57,076
you're my heartworm.
428
00:18:58,246 --> 00:19:02,615
The metaphorical kind, not-not
the poodle-killing kind.
429
00:19:02,617 --> 00:19:04,817
W-W-W-What?
430
00:19:04,819 --> 00:19:06,886
If I may...
431
00:19:06,888 --> 00:19:09,021
I believe
what he's saying,
432
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:10,790
in a charming
and delightful way,
433
00:19:10,792 --> 00:19:12,792
is that he loves you
and wants you back.
434
00:19:12,794 --> 00:19:14,327
Dave Gibbs,
huge fan of your work.
435
00:19:14,329 --> 00:19:16,162
Oh.
Don't mind me.
436
00:19:19,367 --> 00:19:22,501
I'm-I'm sorry; I didn't
realize you were on a date.
437
00:19:22,503 --> 00:19:25,237
No, it-it... it's okay.
Keep going?
438
00:19:25,239 --> 00:19:27,873
Amy, if you want to be
my girlfriend again,
439
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:30,242
I really want to
be your boyfriend.
440
00:19:30,244 --> 00:19:33,012
I really want that, too.
441
00:19:33,014 --> 00:19:36,682
Good. Because I love you.
442
00:19:37,552 --> 00:19:40,653
I love you, too.
443
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:44,857
Kiss her,
you brilliant fool!
444
00:19:58,906 --> 00:20:01,307
Well...
445
00:20:01,309 --> 00:20:03,776
I'll let you get
back to your date.
446
00:20:03,778 --> 00:20:05,978
Get back here!
447
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:08,814
♪ Oh, oh, oh, darlin' ♪
448
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:12,118
♪ I dream about you often,
my pretty darlin' ♪
449
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,687
♪ I love the way
you soften my... ♪
450
00:20:30,696 --> 00:20:32,228
Okay, then.
451
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:36,533
I'll, uh, see myself out.
452
00:20:37,602 --> 00:20:39,169
Amy, thank you for dinner.
453
00:20:40,605 --> 00:20:43,573
Dr. Cooper, pleasure
to meet you, sir.
454
00:20:45,377 --> 00:20:48,378
Uh, if perhaps sometime
you have a spare moment,
455
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:51,014
I'd, uh, love-love
to discuss physics,
456
00:20:51,016 --> 00:20:53,383
or "shoot the breeze,"
as you Yanks say.
457
00:20:59,094 --> 00:21:01,223
Ah. What a lovely evening.
458
00:21:03,524 --> 00:21:10,024
