The Big Bang Theory

Go!

Come on, raj!

Leonard: You can do this!

There's no way.

What is happening?

This is an Euler's disk.

It's a physics toy

that demonstrates angular momentum,

potential energy, and kinetic energy.

Aw, look at you watching sports.

We're betting to see if Koothrappali

can hold his breath

longer than the disk can spin.

Its weight and smoothness,

along with the slight concavity of the mirror, means it can spin

for a long time.

But raj is from India, which means

he's no slouch at holding his breath.

Okay, I want in. Ten bucks says I'll lose interest

before that thing stops spinning.

Hey, Sheldon, I found a great restaurant for date night.

Kind of busy right now.

Oh, an Euler's disk! Fun! Yeah, we're seeing

if raj can hold his breath longer than it.

Oh. Immature.

How ya doing?

Mm.

He's not gonna make it.

Yes, he is! You know,

deep-sea divers holding their breath for several minutes

have shown elevated markers of a protein

that can signal brain damage.

Yeah, see, what's happening here signals brain damage.

My god, how long does this thing spin for?

Ha! You're interested! You're out ten bucks!

It's slowing down! Dig deep!

Like when we bet you couldn't fit into Howard's pants!

He's not gonna make it!

Yes, he is!

Come on, raj! It's like

your favorite movie! You're just waiting to exhale!

Yeah! I knew you could do it!

And j.. And just so you know,

my favorite movie...

Is Princess bride.

Hello, Rajesh. How are things by you?

Good, good.

Uh, listen, I just wanted to let you know

when you get my credit card bill,

it might be a little high this month.

Well, you're a grown man with a steady job.

Why wouldn't you spend all your father's money?

Oh, daddy, you're so rich and funny.

Yeah. So what else is going on with your life?

Uh, well, I was dating a woman at the university,

but we broke up.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I know you are. That's why you just bought me a new iPad.

And before you start,

I am not interested in you arranging a marriage for me.

Oh, I gave up on that a long time ago.

You did?

It's too much work.

You're an adult who can't get by

without an allowance from his parents.

Women don't want that.

Wh-what are you saying, that y-you're giving up on me?

What kind of father gives up on his son?

I have six children,

five of whom are married and self-sufficient.

I don't think I'm the problem.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

This is deeply hurtful.

You're also too sensitive.

Women don't want that either.

The food here's supposed to be great.

Don't fill up on chips.

Oh, I won't. I have a trick.

I only eat equilateral triangles.

Isosceles, isosceles,

oh, scalene...

You didn't see that.

Oh, look.

It's Bert, at the bar.

We should go say hi.

Why?

Because that's what you do

when you see someone you know in a public place.

I have multiple restraining orders that say otherwise.

Sheldon, there's a difference between greeting a friend

and following a celebrity into a bathroom.

If the judge couldn't explain it to me,

I don't see how you will.

Hi, Bert. Hello.

Oh, hey, guys.

What brings you here?

Oh, we're having date night. Nice.

I'm meeting someone, too.

Oh, really. Anybody we know?

I doubt it. I met her on g-Harmony.

That's a web site for geologists to find love.

That's a real thing?

Yeah. Their slogan is "we're all about dating

and not the carbon-14 kind."

Well, have a lovely evening.

Thanks. You, too.

If you think that's more fun than talking

to Zachary Quinto through a stall door, you're crazy.

You know, we could've come to you guys.

You didn't have to bring the baby here.

Oh, it's okay. It's good to get out of the house.

And the car ride puts her to sleep.

Aw, that used to work with Sheldon.

Yeah, until someone left him in the drugstore parking lot

and he freaked out.

Who forgot to crack the window?

Hello!

Leonard: Hey. Penny: Oh,

someone's been shopping at Gucci.

Yeah, I saw something for Halley and I couldn't resist.

That's so sweet of you.

Yeah, it's a crushed velvet baby cape.

Oh, no, now we have two.

That must've been expensive. Yeah, it was.

But it's my father's money and I'm mad at him.

What's going on with your dad?

And if you really want to hurt him,

I look great in Chanel.

It turns out he doesn't care if I'm married or if I'm single.

He's basically given up on me.

Oh, I'm sure that's not true.

It is. He stopped trying to find Indian girls for me to marry.

All you did was complain when he did that.

Leonard, he's hurting. Let him feel how he feels.

Thank you, penny. Yeah.

Shoes, I'm a seven-and-a-half; Boots, I'm an eight.

MSN search,

Altavista,

and... ask Jeeves.

You?

Sorry, I don't have a list

of defunct search engines that I miss.

Hey. Looks like I got stood up,

so I'm gonna head out.

Oh, no. Are you sure you don't want to give her

a few more minutes?

Nah, g-Harmony recommends after two hours,

it's time to cut bait.

I'm so sorry.

Bert, I insist that you join us.

You really wouldn't mind?

Not at all. Amy?

Fine with me.

Thanks. I'll go grab a chair.

Sheldon, that was so sweet of you.

Well, I could deduce by his facial expression

and body language that he was sad.

So the part where he got stood up didn't clue you in?

You want me to look at him and listen to him?

My father thinks the reason I can't make a relationship work

is because I'm spoiled.

I'm sorry, is he waiting for someone to disagree?

Just because he helps me out

doesn't automatically mean that I'm spoiled.

All right, how much exactly does he pay for?

Okay, I'll tell you,

but please don't judge me.

He pays for my car, my rent, and my credit cards.

I'm trying, but I'm judging.

Maybe your dad's right.

Yeah, women do like a man that can support himself.

But Bernadette makes more money than Howard.

She basically supports him.

Yeah, maybe your dad's right.

Good question. Let's see.

Infoseek,

webcrawler,

oh, hotbot.

Okay, literally any other topic.

All right. How did you guys meet?

Actually, we met online.

Our-our first date was at a coffee shop.

Although, unlike your date, she actually showed up.

Oh, he looks sad again.

Well, I really envy your relationship.

Other than you two only having sex once a year,

you're the perfect couple.

You-you know about that?

Uh, yeah, everyone at the university does.
