The Big Bang Theory

Previously on The Big Bang Theory...

Please stop crying.

I'm begging you. I don't know what else to do.

My boobs are empty.

Do you want lasagna?

It's okay, it's okay.

Shh...

What have we done?

What... what's all this?

Well, it sounded like you were having a rough day,

so I wanted you to come home to something nice.

Oh, that is so thoughtful.

Hey, do you remember when we went wine tasting

in Santa Barbara and you said

that was the best rosé you'd ever had?

Yeah, I remember us driving up there,

going to the winery and...

that's it.

And this wine is why.

Oh.

Hey, what smells so good?

I made your favorite: pizza bagels!

Pink wine and pizza bagels?

It's like eighth grade all over again.

I am so lucky to have you.

Well, now be careful, these are hot.

I-I could explain the thermodynamics

of why the cheese seems hotter than the crust,

but instead, I'm gonna keep it to myself.

Oh.

You always know what not to say.

I just, I can't believe you did all this.

Well, you know,

it's easy to take each other for granted and

I never want to do that to you, because

your love,

it's like a river.

It's peaceful and deep.

Your soul is, it's like a secret

that I never could keep.

You did not just quote an NSYNC song.

I quoted your favorite NSYNC song.

Oh...

Mm.

Damn.

I burped so hard, I died in my game.

Leonard, I've been meaning to ask you:

what size shoe do you wear?

Why?

I'm trying to take more of an interest

in other people's lives.

That's nice.

I wear a size eight and a half.

That's small.

So, tell me, do you have any plans for the weekend?

Are you gonna laugh at the answer?

Only if the answer is "shopping for baby shoes."

If you must know,

Penny won a spa weekend from work

and she's taking me.

Oh, well you know, that is interesting.

I wonder what kind of infection you'll come home with.

My money's on fungal.

They're still having girls' night across the hall.

Oh, so, hang out with me and we'll have boys' night.

At our age,

why don't we call it man's night?

Because we just spent our allowance on comic books.

Penny, is it weird that we're having girls' night here,

but you don't live here anymore,

so it's basically my girls' night?

I hadn't really thought about it.

But now you're thinking about it and it bothers you?

I get that.

Things going well with you and Sheldon living together?

Better than ever.

He asks about my day, takes an interest in my life.

He's like my boyfriend in college,

except he's real, so people can see him.

I've been seeing him for years,

I'm still not convinced he's real.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

You've been married for a while.

Is it normal for the husband

to kind of completely stop giving a crap?

Uh-oh, what's going on?

Well, Leonard used to do all these things,

like bring me flowers

and wear pants.

It's okay, Howie never has on pants.

The Domino's guy brings the pizza like this now.

Well, Sheldon always has his pants on.

I don't think I could pick his knees out of a lineup.

Well, it's not just the pants.

Just, it's like since we got married,

he doesn't really try anymore.

Uh, Penny?

I don't know how to say this,

but this is my first girls' night

and you're kind of bumming everybody out.

All right, got Halley to sleep.

Yeah, I heard you on the baby monitor.

Didn't think you could turn the theme from Walking Dead

into a lullaby.

Yeah, got to get her hooked on TV,

or someday, she'll want me to play outside.

Boy, that floor is so squeaky.

I'm surprised I didn't wake her up walking out of the room.

Have you tried anything to fix it?

Well, I put the rug down.

It didn't help.

I know. Blue shag. What were you thinking?

Did try nailing a couple of the boards down.

Did that do anything?

Yeah, it left little holes in the floor,

that's why I bought the rug.

If you do that, I'll win in eight moves.

I'll win in five moves.

I'll win in one move.

Oh, no. Good game.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, Penny, I'm trying

to take an interest in other people.

Uh, how was your girls' night?

Oh, it was fine.

Hmm. Did you have anything to eat?

Uh, chips.

Anything to drink?

Some wine.

Well, I'm just playing tennis against the drapes here.

Just ignore him.

Hmm. At least he took an interest.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Hey, what's going on with you?

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, hey, come on, just tell me.

Fine.

Lately, I kind of feel like

you've been taking me for granted.

Wh-what? Where is this coming from?

Leonard.

She might be drunk.

All she had was chips.

It's just, since we got married you seem to think

you don't have to try anymore.

That is ridiculous.

This is exactly why I didn't want to talk about it.

No, No, no, no. Let's talk about it.

I'm the one who's made all the effort

in this relationship since day one.

Please tell me what more I could do.

Okay. You know what? Maybe I'll take Amy with me

to the spa this weekend instead.

Fine, go ahead.

Amy is free.

She had a harp lesson on Saturday,

but it got canceled...

Boy, when you take an interest in people,

you really uncork a geyser of nonsense.

Okay. Thanks, Daddy.

He said the only way to really fix an old floor like that

is to tear it up and replace the whole thing.

That sounds expensive. Hang on.

No offense to her father,

but he's not an MIT-trained engineer.

Thinking and building is what you do.

MIT's motto is "Mind and hand,"

which just so happens was also my motto as a lonely teenager.

Oh, come on. We just need to be more creative.

What if you didn't step on the floor at all?

Like, what if you...

swung on a rope from the ceiling?

No.

Okay. Um...

Okay. What if you rig up a pulley system

and move yourself across the room in a harness?

No.

I have one.

What if you got a giant slingshot

and flung yourself into the wall?

Is that supposed to be funny?

Hold on.

Yeah, that's funny.

All right, we're heading out. Mm-hmm.

I'll call you when we get to the hotel.

And if they have any of those tiny bottles of shampoo?

I will bring them home so you can show me

how Godzilla takes a shower.

Have fun. Thanks.

Are you ready?

Uh-huh.

Bye, Sheldon.

You know what?
