00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,560
Previously on

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,560
The Big Bang Theory...

3
00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:06,760
I guess I'm still wondering

4
00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:06,760
if Emily and I are right for each other.

5
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,830
Does this have to do with that girl

6
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,830
you had coffee with?

7
00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:13,770
You mean the strong, sexy angel

8
00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:13,770
I can't stop thinking about? Who can say?

9
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:18,300
I need to come up with a big idea

10
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:18,300
to make some money.

11
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,680
- There's no reason you can't.

12
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,680
- That's easy for you to say.

13
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:23,150
You and Sheldon already came up

14
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:23,150
with your superfluid helium model.

15
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,950
That's just research,

16
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,950
we're never gonna make any money from it.

17
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,790
Forget helium. The real superfluid

18
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,790
is the fruit punch in this mug.

19
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:34,360
Reminds me of my daddy's

20
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:34,360
secret don't-tell-mama juice.

21
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,100
Maybe that's an idea.

22
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,100
Guidance systems for drunk people.

23
00:00:40,270 --> 00:00:42,140
They have that, it's called Uber.

24
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:46,030
Hey, in your super-cooled

25
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:46,030
helium experiments,

26
00:00:46,210 --> 00:00:48,270
did you create quantum vortices?

27
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,570
- Yeah, why?

28
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,570
- Well, if you made a guidance system,

29
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:53,080
couldn't you use those vortices

30
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:53,080
as a gyroscope?

31
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,540
Never thought about that.

32
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,980
And since it's in a quantum state,

33
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,980
it would maintain an infinite persistence.

34
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:01,950
Groundbreaking revelations,

35
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:01,950
tropical drinks, tell me

36
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,060
this isn't like the best episode

37
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,060
of Sex and the City.

38
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:15,200
Okay, I gotta ask.

39
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:15,200
Why are you wearing a bow tie?

40
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:17,900
Well, I've never applied

41
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:17,900
for a patent before.

42
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:19,870
I wanted to make a good impression.

43
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:23,410
Is the impression

44
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:23,410
that your first name is Pee-wee?

45
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:32,010
Yeah, well, you're an engineer.

46
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:32,010
End of joke, burn.

47
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:37,050
Come on in, fellas.

48
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:38,750
See, he's not wearing a tie.

49
00:01:38,930 --> 00:01:40,990
Well, he's a patent attorney,

50
00:01:38,930 --> 00:01:40,990
maybe his tie is pending.

51
00:01:43,130 --> 00:01:45,260
So, I've reviewed your paperwork.

52
00:01:45,430 --> 00:01:47,400
It seems like we've got everything we need

53
00:01:47,570 --> 00:01:50,370
to file a patent

54
00:01:47,570 --> 00:01:50,370
for your infinite persistence gyroscope.

55
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:51,870
- That's great!

56
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:51,870
- Excellent.

57
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,060
So what happens next?

58
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,970
Well, the legal team needs to review

59
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,970
existing patents to avoid overlap.

60
00:01:56,140 --> 00:01:57,640
Oh, I don't think there will be.

61
00:01:57,810 --> 00:01:59,370
Yes, we did our own search, so...

62
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,620
That's nice, but I think ours

63
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,620
might be a bit more thorough.

64
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:04,710
Get a load of this guy.

65
00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:08,650
Can you imagine

66
00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:08,650
if we make money with this?

67
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:12,850
Well, if we do, I am splurging

68
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:12,850
on the best sinus irrigator money can buy.

69
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:16,230
That old sad story, guy gets

70
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:16,230
a little money,

71
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,660
- goes straight up his nose.

72
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,370
Just need you to review

73
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,370
and sign this document

74
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:27,100
acknowledging that you understand

75
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:27,100
the university will own 75% of the patent.

76
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:30,680
Seventy-five percent?

77
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:31,940
That's outrageous.

78
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,640
I mean, this is our idea

79
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,640
based on our research.

80
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:37,910
How can you possibly justify

81
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:37,910
owning a majority share?

82
00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:39,420
It's university policy.

83
00:02:40,290 --> 00:02:41,720
I know when I'm beat.

84
00:02:42,590 --> 00:02:45,560
Hold on, hold on.

85
00:02:42,590 --> 00:02:45,560
So the three of us do all the work

86
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:47,460
and only end up with 25%?

87
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:51,900
Dr. Hofstadter, this university's been

88
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:51,900
paying your salaries for over ten years.

89
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:54,130
Do you think we do that

90
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:54,130
out of the goodness of our hearts?

91
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,770
Well, until you just said

92
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,770
that mean thing, kind of.

93
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:01,610
And as far as Mr. Wolowitz is concerned,

94
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:04,580
I'm afraid as a federal employee

95
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:04,580
on loan from NASA,

96
00:03:04,750 --> 00:03:06,650
your name can be on the patent, but...

97
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,510
You're not entitled to an ownership share.

98
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Wait, so this can turn out to be

99
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,720
a financial success and I get nothing?

100
00:03:15,790 --> 00:03:18,760
Well, sometimes they give you a plaque.

101
00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:22,130
Well, that's not fair.

102
00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:22,130
We should all get plaques.

103
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:26,760
Sorry, but we can't sign this.

104
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:28,370
Come on, let's go.

105
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,100
Thank you for your time.

106
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,310
A couple of questions about the plaque--

107
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,400
So, have you been having

108
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,400
any morning sickness?

109
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,040
A little, and it doesn't help that I have

110
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,040
this heightened sense of smell.

111
00:04:09,210 --> 00:04:10,610
What, is that a pregnancy thing?

112
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:14,550
Yeah. The other day I sniffed out

113
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:14,550
where Howie hid the Girl Scout Cookies.

114
00:04:16,950 --> 00:04:18,890
No more Tagalongs, my ass.

115
00:04:20,990 --> 00:04:24,080
But now you'll be able to make

116
00:04:20,990 --> 00:04:24,080
your own milk to eat the cookies with.

117
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:28,400
Hey, guys. Hey, Penny,

118
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,590
I really appreciate you helping me

119
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,590
with this. I don't know what to do.

120
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:33,460
- Sure, let me see it.

121
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:33,460
- See what?

122
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,700
I hadn't spoken to Emily

123
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,700
since I broke up with her,

124
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:37,700
and she left this

125
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:37,700
on my doorstep with a note.

126
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:41,710
"Raj, I got you this before we split up

127
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:41,710
but couldn't return it

128
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,370
"and thought you'd like to have it.

129
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,370
Happy belated Valentine's Day, Emily."

130
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:46,780
That's nice.

131
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:48,580
"Nice," or is she trying

132
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:48,580
to manipulate him?

133
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:51,020
I know. I mean, do I open it?

134
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:51,020
Do I return it?

135
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:52,380
Why wouldn't you open it?

136
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:55,290
Well, she was pretty mad,

137
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:55,290
for all I know it's a voodoo doll of me

138
00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:57,220
with a fork stuck in my junk.

139
00:04:59,630 --> 00:05:03,400
You don't think she'd actually send you

140
00:04:59,630 --> 00:05:03,400
something gross or dangerous, do you?

141
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:05,730
I know one way to find out. Sniff this.

142
00:05:08,170 --> 00:05:10,260
She's pregnant, she's not a bloodhound.

143
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:13,910
Although I am getting

144
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:13,910
a little machine oil, I think it's metal.

145
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,970
Come on, just open it.

146
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:18,680
You know, on Game of Thrones

147
00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:21,870
Balon Greyjoy received

148
00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:21,870
his son's genitals in a box.

149
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:25,090
Oh, never hurts to have a spare.

150
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,290
What is that?

151
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,290
- Wow!

152
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:33,060
It's an antique sextant.

153
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:36,130
Sailors used these

154
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:36,130
to find their positions by the stars.

155
00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:38,490
What a nice gift for an astrophysicist.

156
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:39,790
I know, she's so thoughtful.

157
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:41,490
See, she's trying to get you back.

158
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:43,070
Now that is exactly

159
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:43,070
what I would've gotten you

160
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,230
if I had any idea

161
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,230
what it is or what you do.

162
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,700
You know, I...

163
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,070
I have too much self-esteem

164
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:52,770
to let this girl guilt me

165
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:52,770
into getting back together with her.

166
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
You don't need to be pregnant

167
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
to smell that load of crap.

168
00:06:00,590 --> 00:06:01,650
Well...

169
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,350
What if we go around the university

170
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,350
and just get the patent ourselves?

171
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:06,720
We can't. It says on their website

172
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:06,720
as long as we work there,

173
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:09,300
they have a controlling ownership

174
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:09,300
of anything we come up with.

175
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:14,360
Great. So they own my idea for a T-shirt

176
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:14,360
that says "Dumb as a Bag of Geologists."

177
00:06:19,210 --> 00:06:21,300
Well, our choices are

178
00:06:19,210 --> 00:06:21,300
we do this with the university

179
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,470
or we don't do it at all.

180
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,640
Either way, I get nothing.

181
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:27,950
Or if we end up making money from this,

182
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,380
Sheldon and I could

183
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,380
split our shares with you.

184
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:33,780
To be clear,

185
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:33,780
Leonard's referring to the gyroscope,

186
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,550
not the T-shirt and mugs.

187
00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:37,280
Oh!

188
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:38,720
Now they own the mugs.

189
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:44,700
I guess that is a way around this.

190
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:44,700
You guys would be cool doing it like that?

191
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,960
Of course,

192
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,960
we would split any profits three ways.

193
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,400
- I'm fine with that.

194
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,400
- Okay, great.

195
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:53,310
It sounds like a contract

196
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:53,310
might be in order.

197
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:58,340
Sure, we could write something up.

198
00:06:58,510 --> 00:07:00,380
But which one of us

199
00:06:58,510 --> 00:07:00,380
should be the party who--

200
00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:01,540
You can do it, Sheldon.

201
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,880
So stipulated!

202
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,120
Once I found a stash of contracts

203
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,120
under his bed, it was weird.

204
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,830
I wonder how much she spent on this.

205
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,330
Ooh! Let's find out.

206
00:07:18,470 --> 00:07:20,660
It doesn't matter,

207
00:07:18,470 --> 00:07:20,660
it's the thought that counts.

208
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Yeah, yeah, and beauty's on the inside,

209
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,240
size doesn't matter. How much she spend?

210
00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:27,640
Seriously, guys, I don't wanna know.

211
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:29,000
Oh, my.

212
00:07:29,610 --> 00:07:32,010
Well, come on, you can't say,

213
00:07:29,610 --> 00:07:32,010
"Oh, my" and then not tell me!

214
00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:35,680
These things go for $500 and up.

215
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Damn. All I got for Valentine's Day

216
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,080
was a postcard saying

217
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:41,220
my Vermont Teddy Bear was back-ordered.

218
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:44,120
Okay, so she drops off a $500 gift

219
00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:45,920
and she's not trying

220
00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:45,920
to get back together with you?

221
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:47,520
Maybe you're right.

222
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,790
Or she's telling the truth

223
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,790
and just being nice.

224
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,700
Maybe you're right.

225
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,700
Wow, I am easy to manipulate.

226
00:07:57,070 --> 00:07:59,230
Guys, it's Emily. What should I do?

227
00:07:59,410 --> 00:08:01,710
Okay. Answer it.

228
00:07:59,410 --> 00:08:01,710
Just be strong, and if she starts to cry,

229
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,710
don't make any promises,

230
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,710
and most importantly,

231
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,180
put it on speaker so we can hear.

232
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:10,980
- Hello.

233
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:10,980
Hey, it's Emily.

234
00:08:11,150 --> 00:08:12,140
Is this a good time?

235
00:08:15,090 --> 00:08:16,580
Yeah, yeah, sure. What's up?

236
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,090
Was it okay I left that gift?

237
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,090
I'm really hoping we can be friends.

238
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:27,030
Maybe, maybe.

239
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:30,510
Um, you think you'd wanna

240
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:30,510
grab a cup of coffee?

241
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:43,050
Hello?

242
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:46,480
I'm sorry, I seem to be taking

243
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:46,480
an annoying amount of time

244
00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:47,880
deciding how I feel about this!

245
00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:53,420
I just... I miss hanging out with you.

246
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,660
It's not like I lost a friend,

247
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,660
it's like I lost my best friend.

248
00:08:57,170 --> 00:09:00,430
Is there any chance

249
00:08:57,170 --> 00:09:00,430
you'd wanna come over?

250
00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:08,140
I'm sorry.

251
00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:08,140
I don't think that's a good idea.

252
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:11,370
Okay.

253
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:11,370
I'm just, I'm having a really hard time,

254
00:09:11,550 --> 00:09:14,240
but that's not your problem, that's mine.

255
00:09:14,420 --> 00:09:16,180
I won't bother you again,

256
00:09:16,350 --> 00:09:19,880
but please know that you'll

257
00:09:16,350 --> 00:09:19,880
always have a place in my heart.

258
00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:28,260
Bye, Raj. You're a good guy.

259
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:31,060
Goodbye, Emily.

260
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:35,030
That was rough, you guys.

261
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000
I know, but you did it.

262
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000
I'm so proud of you.

263
00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:39,660
Well, anyway,

264
00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:39,660
I'll leave you to your girls' night.

265
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,670
Are you sure you

266
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,670
don't wanna stay here with us?

267
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,610
No, I kind of

268
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,610
feel like being alone right now.

269
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:45,880
Well, if you change your mind,

270
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:45,880
we'll be here.

271
00:09:46,050 --> 00:09:47,350
Thank you.

272
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,310
Say hi to Emily for us.

273
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,680
Will do.

274
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,190
Yeah, this contract looks good to me.

275
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,630
I'll say it looks good.

276
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,630
It's in my proprietary font, Shelvetica.

277
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360
I wanna say something obnoxious,

278
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360
but it is easy on the eyes.

279
00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:14,300
I'm a little tired, Howie,

280
00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:14,300
you ready to go?

281
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,670
Yeah, one sec.

282
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,670
I just need to sign this contract.

283
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:17,840
What is it?

284
00:10:18,010 --> 00:10:19,710
Well, we ran into a problem

285
00:10:18,010 --> 00:10:19,710
about my share of the patent,

286
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,220
so we're forming a partnership

287
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,220
to split anything we make equally.

288
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,080
Sheldon, did you draft the contract?

289
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:26,590
You bet I did.

290
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
You're gonna make out so hard tonight.

291
00:10:33,930 --> 00:10:36,420
So, you're just gonna sign this

292
00:10:33,930 --> 00:10:36,420
without having a lawyer look at it?

293
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Excuse me, I've been drafting contracts

294
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,560
since kindergarten.

295
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:42,360
Didn't need a lawyer to get me

296
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:42,360
out of finger painting,

297
00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:43,600
don't need one now.

298
00:10:45,210 --> 00:10:46,200
I know, but--

299
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:49,670
Bernie, the guys were nice enough to find

300
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:49,670
a way to keep me from being cut out.

301
00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:53,310
Well, I should hope so.

302
00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:53,310
The whole thing was your idea.

303
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,220
Well, to be fair,

304
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,220
Howard's idea was based on Sheldon's math.

305
00:10:58,390 --> 00:11:00,910
Guys, everyone is involved in this, okay?

306
00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:03,250
Howard's invention, Sheldon's math,

307
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:06,550
my original theory that space time

308
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:06,550
was like a super-cooled liquid,

309
00:11:06,730 --> 00:11:08,320
which I'm sure Penny would've mentioned

310
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,520
if she wasn't working on

311
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,520
that hangnail right now.

312
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,890
What?

313
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:17,930
- Honey, this is fine.

314
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:17,930
- Okay.

315
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:20,970
You wanna sign a contract

316
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:20,970
that Sheldon whipped up, go ahead.

317
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,840
Can I talk to you in the hall?

318
00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:24,740
- Sure.

319
00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:24,740
- Excuse us.

320
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,310
Hey, Leonard.

321
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,540
What?

322
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,980
If she doesn't think

323
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,980
that we should apply for this patent,

324
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:34,750
she's being patently absurd.

325
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:38,820
Good one.

326
00:11:39,830 --> 00:11:42,350
Okay, you got it.

327
00:11:39,830 --> 00:11:42,350
See, I was afraid it was a thinker.

328
00:11:45,370 --> 00:11:46,430
What are you doing?

329
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,370
I just wanna make sure

330
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,370
you've thought this through.

331
00:11:48,540 --> 00:11:49,530
What's to think about?

332
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,800
We have an invention

333
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,800
and wanna move forward.

334
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:56,640
Howie, you're about to form

335
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:56,640
a legal partnership with Sheldon Cooper.

336
00:11:59,410 --> 00:12:02,010
All right, if you're gonna

337
00:11:59,410 --> 00:12:02,010
calmly make excellent points

338
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:03,740
then I don't know if I wanna talk to you.

339
00:12:07,020 --> 00:12:08,650
Okay, I get it.

340
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:12,780
And it's sweet that you're worried

341
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:12,780
about me, but I can take care of myself.

342
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,900
I'm not worried about you,

343
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,900
I'm worried about me.

344
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:19,190
I don't wanna go through this pregnancy

345
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:19,190
listening to you complain about Sheldon

346
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:21,770
driving you crazy

347
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:21,770
more than you already do.

348
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:24,740
Here we go with the ironclad logic again.

349
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,940
You've tried to work with him before,

350
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,940
it hasn't gone well.

351
00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:32,440
Why is this time gonna be any different?

352
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,840
Is the fetus helping you?

353
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,840
'Cause that's cheating.

354
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,020
- Hello.

355
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,020
- Hey, Raj. It's Claire, how are you?

356
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:47,590
Hi, I'm good. Really good.

357
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,230
Well, I don't know why I said

358
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,230
"really good," I'm just regular good.

359
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,090
I really just wanted to sound confident.

360
00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:53,700
And that "really" was a real really,

361
00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:55,730
not a fake "really"

362
00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:55,730
like the first "really."

363
00:12:57,170 --> 00:12:58,160
Really?

364
00:12:58,340 --> 00:13:01,140
I don't know,

365
00:12:58,340 --> 00:13:01,140
I lost track and I missed my exit.

366
00:13:01,610 --> 00:13:03,640
So,uh, so what's up?

367
00:13:03,810 --> 00:13:07,540
Well, last time we talked I had just

368
00:13:03,810 --> 00:13:07,540
gotten back together with my boyfriend

369
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,010
and I wanted to let you know

370
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,010
that things didn't work out.

371
00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:12,980
Really?

372
00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:12,980
I'm sorry, I swear I know other words.

373
00:13:14,820 --> 00:13:16,090
So if you were still interested--

374
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:19,020
Yes! Indeed. Absolutely. Indubitably.

375
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:22,190
I'm not even sure what the last one means,

376
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:22,190
but it's another word and I know it.

377
00:13:23,530 --> 00:13:25,360
So, when do you wanna meet up?

378
00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:28,330
Um, I'm almost off work,

379
00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:28,330
what are you doing now?

380
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,500
Right now? Well...

381
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:32,830
Well, actually, to be completely honest,

382
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:36,270
I'm stopping by to see my ex-girlfriend

383
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:36,270
because she's having a tough time,

384
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,350
but it's not like

385
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,350
we're getting back together or anything.

386
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:41,110
Let me guess,

387
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:41,110
the worst part about breaking up

388
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,050
is that she doesn't have

389
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,050
her best friend to talk to anymore?

390
00:13:44,350 --> 00:13:46,950
That's exactly what she said!

391
00:13:44,350 --> 00:13:46,950
How do you know that?

392
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:49,990
I'm a girl,

393
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:49,990
that's like page one out of the playbook.

394
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:53,490
Any chance

395
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:53,490
you could send me a PDF of that playbook?

396
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:57,730
Been out there awhile.

397
00:13:57,900 --> 00:13:59,130
Hope everything's okay.

398
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:00,770
I wonder what they're talking about.

399
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:02,960
If you guys would shut up,

400
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:02,960
I could tell you.

401
00:14:04,740 --> 00:14:06,170
Oh, be cool, be cool, be cool.

402
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,610
- Hey.

403
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,610
- Hello.

404
00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:10,770
Hey. You guys all right?

405
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:15,010
Yeah. But, um, we were talking and...

406
00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:19,440
I'm a little concerned about

407
00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:19,440
the three of us forming a partnership.

408
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:24,110
Are you suggesting

409
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:24,110
a limited liability corporation?

410
00:14:25,330 --> 00:14:27,920
'Cause I did not L-L-see that coming.

411
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:36,160
Sheldon, my concern is not with the money

412
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:36,160
or anything, it's with how you treat me.

413
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:39,500
Well, I believe

414
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:39,500
I'm treating you generously.

415
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:42,640
That's why I've stipulated

416
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:42,640
in the contract that your contributions

417
00:14:42,810 --> 00:14:45,210
to our invention

418
00:14:42,810 --> 00:14:45,210
are as valuable as my own.

419
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:48,950
Are you saying that his contributions

420
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:48,950
aren't as valuable as yours?

421
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:53,480
No, I'm not saying that,

422
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:53,480
because I kept saying that this morning

423
00:14:53,650 --> 00:14:55,120
and Leonard said stop saying that.

424
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,390
See, this is what happens

425
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,390
every time we work together.

426
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,230
You know, hang on. What if Sheldon

427
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,230
had no choice but to be respectful?

428
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:08,400
What? Is there a switch on the back

429
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:08,400
of his neck we don't know about?

430
00:15:10,170 --> 00:15:12,570
No. What I'm saying is,

431
00:15:10,170 --> 00:15:12,570
you could add a clause to the contract

432
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:13,970
that he can't make fun of Howard.

433
00:15:14,340 --> 00:15:15,370
How would you enforce it?

434
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:17,770
Oh, please, any contract I sign

435
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:20,470
is enforced by my own personal code

436
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:20,470
of ethics.

437
00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:22,950
- And his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

438
00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:22,950
- Yeah, that, too.

439
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:27,420
And scoot over,

440
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:27,420
part of your shadow is on my spot. Move.

441
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:32,790
Howard, what do you think?

442
00:15:34,030 --> 00:15:35,020
I'm on board.

443
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,260
Good. I'll add it right now.

444
00:15:36,430 --> 00:15:38,300
Oh, baby, it's addendum time!

445
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640
Hello?

446
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640
- Hey, Emily, listen.

447
00:15:48,010 --> 00:15:51,710
I've been thinking and I'm not sure

448
00:15:48,010 --> 00:15:51,710
it's a good idea that I come over.

449
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,870
Oh.

450
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,810
Okay, I understand.

451
00:15:56,250 --> 00:15:57,880
No, no. Please don't cry.

452
00:15:58,050 --> 00:15:59,610
Okay, I'll stop!

453
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:04,820
- Hello?

454
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:04,820
- Hey, so listen, Claire, change of plans.

455
00:16:07,130 --> 00:16:09,620
Fine, do what you want,

456
00:16:07,130 --> 00:16:09,620
but she's playing you.

457
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,490
I don't think so,

458
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,490
she sounded pretty upset.

459
00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:15,930
You mean like, "I was just really

460
00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:15,930
looking forward to seeing you."

461
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,800
"I'm having such a rough day."

462
00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:20,100
Emily, listen.

463
00:16:23,410 --> 00:16:26,440
I'm sorry, but I can't come by.

464
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:27,670
Why not?

465
00:16:27,850 --> 00:16:31,750
I think we both know if I come over

466
00:16:27,850 --> 00:16:31,750
we're gonna get back together and--

467
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,850
I told you I needed a friend.

468
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:36,080
What do you think is happening here?

469
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:38,380
Call you right back.

470
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,130
The revisions I made start on page four.

471
00:16:47,130 --> 00:16:49,370
That is a lot of "whereupons."

472
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,460
You should see

473
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,460
the Valentine's Day card he gave me.

474
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,970
"Article three.

Hang on, maybe there should be

487
00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:19,400
a no insult clause about me, too?

00:17:19,570 --> 00:17:21,870

489
00:17:19,570 --> 00:17:21,870
- Yeah.

490
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,330
You're tying my hands here.

491
00:17:25,870 --> 00:17:26,860
All right, let's sign this.

492
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,270
Wait, wait, wait.

493
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,270
What are these changes on page six?

494
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Sheldon, what did you do?

495
00:17:30,780 --> 00:17:32,080
I should've known.

496
00:17:32,250 --> 00:17:34,720

501
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:43,580
Sheldon, that's so nice.

502
00:17:44,590 --> 00:17:47,290
That beats the onesie

503
00:17:44,590 --> 00:17:47,290
I was gonna get them from babyGap.

504
00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:52,300
That's very generous, Sheldon.

505
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:54,900
Oh, I've always valued education

506
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:54,900
over money.

507
00:17:55,070 --> 00:17:58,300
And the very fact that you needed

508
00:17:55,070 --> 00:17:58,300
a written guarantee of respect

509
00:17:58,470 --> 00:18:01,410
made me realize how dismissive

510
00:17:58,470 --> 00:18:01,410
I've been of your contributions.

511
00:18:02,580 --> 00:18:03,770
I appreciate that.

512
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:08,040
And I just hope that this scholarship

513
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:08,040
can rescue your child

514
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:11,950
from the subpar education

515
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:11,950
and menial life of an engineer.

516
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,020
- Sheldon.

517
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,020
- What? I didn't sign it yet.

518
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:28,530
I hear what you're saying,

519
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:28,530
but I've known Emily a long time

520
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:30,870
and think she deserves

521
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:30,870
the benefit of the doubt.

522
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:34,800
All right, it's your life,

523
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:34,800
but you know how this is gonna end.

524
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:36,640
As a matter of fact, I do.

525
00:18:36,810 --> 00:18:39,470
I'm gonna comfort her

526
00:18:36,810 --> 00:18:39,470
because I'm a caring and decent friend

527
00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:43,050
who's happy to be there

528
00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:43,050
when she needs someone to talk to.

529
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,910
Good talk.
