The Big Bang Theory

Two one six four two zero

one nine eight nine.

And that, little lady, is pi to a thousand places.

I'd say I'm sorry I asked,

except I didn't.

Oh, look, it's the Scientific American

that covered the paper Leonard and I wrote.

Oh, let me see.

I have mixed feelings about doing interviews.

I like the part where I talk.

I do not like the part where the other man talks.

Sheldon, this article doesn't mention Leonard at all.

Well, that can't be right.

It only refers to “Dr. Cooper and his team.”

Did you even talk about him?

All I did was answer a few questions about the theory.

And then expressed my gratitude that Scientific American

doesn't include any of those smelly perfume cards.

Poor Leonard.

Why? The theory he came up with

just got mentioned in Scientific American.

He ought to be thrilled.

He might not be.

Oh, maybe you're right.

He is kind of a lump.

Think about it.

How would you feel if you were referred to

as part of Leonard's team?

Oh, I'd be incensed.

So you see what I'm getting at?

Squeaky wheel gets the grease?

No.

Grass is always greener?

Try again.

Well, I don't know-- we're all Groot?

Just tell me.

Leonard is as much a part of this paper

as you are, and he was overlooked.

He's going to feel bad.

But it wasn't my fault.

I didn't exclude him.

And I didn't write the article.

Remember that time you didn't get picked to pull the sword out

of the stone at Disneyland and they let that other kid do it?

Oh, that kid!

Poor Leonard.

Exactly.

For the record, that kid was a terrible choice.

If you cry when you drop your churro,

you do not have what it takes to rule England.

Thanks for helping us sort through all my mom's stuff.

Of course.

I know what it's like

having to go through a loved one's possessions.

My uncle was a worshipper of Krishna.

But after he died, you know what we found?

A statue of Shiva.

It may not be Crips and Bloods, okay?

But in India, it's a thing.

Well, it'll be good that you're there.

Howard's been having trouble deciding

what to keep and what to let go.

Well, it's hard.

A lot of Ma's stuff brings back fond memories.

Is that why you couldn't get rid of

her drawer full of ketchup packets?

Yes. It reminds me of us eating out and her saying,

“Quick, nobody's looking, fill your pockets with ketchup”"

Leonard?

Have you ever noticed that

only my name is on the cable bill?

Yeah.

Good, good.

And your name is on the electric bill

and mine isn't.

And I'm okay with that.

Actually, your name is on the electric bill.

Oh, right.

This is a disaster.

I don't even know what you're talking about and I agree.

Okay, I have to tell you something,

but you're not going to like it.

What's going on?

An article was just published

in Scientific American about our theory.

Did they hate it?

No. No, they loved it.

They, uh, couldn't say enough nice things about it.

So what's the problem?

You know how the PennySaver only has my name...

Sheldon!

They didn't mention you in the article.

Only me.

Really?

I know.

It's not fair.

Let the anger go, buddy.

You just...

you relax all your muscles.

Except for your pubococcygeus and anal sphincter.

Let's keep those tight.

Uh, that-that's not necessary.

It is-- they're what hold back the urine and the feces.

Look, maybe-maybe you shouldn't read it.

It'll only make you feel worse.

“Cooper and his team”?

You should know I had nothing to do with that.

Uh...

at least they're talking about the theory.

I mean, that's what's important.

You know, you're right.

Yeah. You know, it's like when Stan Lee and Steve Ditko

created Spider-Man.

Stan Lee may get all the credit,

but Steve Ditko knows he was just as important.

Even though Stan Lee gets to be in all the Marvel movies.

And-and he's far richer.

And he's a household name, you know?

Whereas, you know, you say Ditko,

and that sounds like a company that makes Dits.

That's not helping.

Well, I'd give more examples,

but, well, everyone in your position's so forgettable.

Stuart, we're here.

It's nice of you to let him keep staying at your mom's house.

Yeah, well, I tried putting him out on the curb,

but nobody took him.

Hey.

Just so you know, the power's out.

What happened?

I called, they said a transformer blew.

It's the whole block.

Should be fixed by tomorrow.

Wait, when did it go out?

In the middle of the night.

Oh, my God.

Howie, what's wrong?

It's all defrosting.

It's okay. It's just food.

It's not just food.

This is the last food my mother ever made.

This is her last brisket.

This is her last meatloaf.

This is her last...

I have no idea what this is, but...

it's the last one.

Everything okay?

No.

All Ma's food is gonna be ruined.

Well, why don't we take it home and put it in our freezer?

You don't want to do that.

Refreezing not only removes moisture,

but it creates ice crystals in the fibers of the meat

that can compromise its taste and texture.

What? I saw a teachable moment.

I dropped some culinary science.

What should we do?

I'll tell you exactly what we're gonna do.

We're gonna eat it.

There's, like, 20 pounds of food in there.

All you said

was I had to get rid of things.

You didn't say they couldn't pass through my colon first.

Howie...

Okay.

Then how about this?

Let's invite everyone over to dinner.

It'll be like Ma's feeding us one last time.

I love that.

Me, too.

Oh, look, we've got enough ketchup

to cover every ounce of it.

I mean, who even reads Scientific American?

It's kind of a big deal.

If it's such a big deal, how come the biggest celebrity

they could get for the cover is a molecule?

Can we please just stop talking about it?

I'm sorry. What can I do?

Nothing, I'm fine.

No, no. I'm gonna cheer you up.

Here we go.

What are we doing?

I am taking you shopping. Oh.

My baby is sad, and I'm gonna make him happy again.

Look, I know shopping cheers you up,

but it's just not really my thing.

Well, what about this helicopter

you control with an iPad?

Does it have a camera in it?

It does have a camera in it.

Baby's listening.

Leonard?

- Leonard? - Leonard?

What?

I spoke to the reporter at the magazine.

What happened? Did you tell him it was my idea?

I did.

Thank you. What did he say?

He said they made the editorial decision
