How many is that now?

00:00:10,927 --> 00:00:14,430
Two, and I know what you're
thinking: she's eating them.

00:00:16,808 --> 00:00:18,976
She's just so impossible,
they keep quitting.

I wonder why?

The university
won't let me switch my field

of study to inflationary
cosmology.

33
00:02:01,579 --> 00:02:04,206
They're forcing me
to continue with string theory.

34
00:02:04,374 --> 00:02:07,334
- Why?
- He said it's why they hired me,

35
00:02:07,585 --> 00:02:09,545
it's what my grant
was designated for,

36
00:02:09,712 --> 00:02:13,090
and that everybody has to
do things they don't want to do.

37
00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:15,218
He then gave an example
of something he had to do,

38
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:18,262
even though he didn't want to,
which was look at my stupid face.

That's a rude thing to say out loud.

to get used to the idea

any concerns you have to yourself?

No.

I hate that you talk to him
more than you talk to me.

74
00:04:23,012 --> 00:04:25,347
Would you like for you
and me to talk more?

You know what? It's probably fine.

while I've had my misgivings

00:04:33,898 --> 00:04:36,024
about... Penny...

79
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:41,655

then she's good enough for me.

that she's good enough for me?

00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:53,750
Sure.

approved of your life choices?

00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:05,595
Yes, it would.

00:05:05,763 --> 00:05:09,099
Yeah, well, you should work on that.

No, Mom, it's the same guy I've gone
out with for the past two years.

Yeah, the scientist.

Well, it's complicated. I mean, he
works with lasers and atomic magnets.

No, I did not see it coming.

00:05:30,204 --> 00:05:33,332
No, we did not set a date.
No, I'm not pregnant.

Yeah, this is a first for our family.

All right, tell Dad I love him.
I gotta go. All right, bye.

Little warning before you jump
into this marriage business:

101
00:05:56,564 --> 00:05:58,805
you're not just marrying him,
you're marrying his family.

It doesn't matter if she's okay
with you. The question is:

104
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:05,614
can she go
to the bathroom by herself?

arrangements gonna be?

at some point, I'll move in
with him, or he'll move in with me.

that makes financial sense.

so that I can move
on from string theory.

has that ship sailed,

countless men would perish.

want to live together.

given this some thought,

to let Penny live with us

Now, obviously,
not when she's made cranky

of her uterine lining.

Maybe I'll move in with Penny,

156

or maybe she and I'll take this
place, you can move across the hall.

No, I did not.

- No.
- Well, then, I'm all out of guesses.

What? Me move across the hall... Why
would you even suggest such a thing?

Because I love Penny, and want
to give her the life she deserves.

164

I see.

Well, yeah.

167
00:09:28,192 --> 00:09:29,317
Wow.

168
00:09:35,324 --> 00:09:38,660
How dare the university force me
to go back to string theory!

169
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,495
They just don't appreciate you.

170
00:09:40,663 --> 00:09:43,123
Yeah, and on top of that,
Leonard has the audacity

171
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:45,500
to suggest that now
that he and Penny are engaged,

172
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:47,669
he may not want
to live with me anymore.

173
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:49,588
Here, I made you
some Strawberry Quik.

174
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:51,506
I have real problems here, Amy.

175
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:54,384
I can't be mollified with
a beverage designed for children.

176
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:57,012
Mm. Yummy.

177
00:09:59,056 --> 00:10:00,736
You know,
this might work out for the best.

178
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:04,102
You're always complaining about
what a terrible roommate Leonard is.

179
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,855
Like how he turns up
the thermostat when you're not there.

180
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:10,358
Ugh. It's like
walking into the Amazon.

181
00:10:10,526 --> 00:10:12,569
And not the good Amazon
with one-day shipping.

182
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:15,155
The awful one with birds and snakes.

183
00:10:16,365 --> 00:10:18,783
You hate the sound of all
those keys on his key chain.

184
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:20,869
Four keys!

185
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:23,204
Who does he think he is, a warden?

186
00:10:25,207 --> 00:10:26,916
See? Maybe you'll love living alone.

187
00:10:27,084 --> 00:10:29,711
I don't know. Perhaps.

188
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:34,049
And if it turns out you don't...
you and I could live together.

189
00:10:34,216 --> 00:10:36,384
You and...
Oh, sure.

190
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,429
And while we're at it,
why don't we get engaged, too?

191
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,514
Why don't we get a little house,
start a family?

192
00:10:41,682 --> 00:10:45,143
Enjoy our sunset years together?
Do you hear yourself, woman?

193
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:49,773
- Sheldon, it was just a thought.
- No. Here's a thought.

194
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:52,067
You're not moving in,
Leonard's not moving out,

195
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:54,402
everything stays
exactly the way it is.

196
00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:57,739
And by the way, I saw you make
this Strawberry Quik with syrup,

197
00:10:57,907 --> 00:11:00,533
and you're supposed
to use the powder!

198
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,495
- It tastes the same.
- No. The syrup tastes better,

199
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,163
and I don't like it.

200
00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:11,336
This is so sweet!
You never cook for me.

201
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:14,297
Well, you cook for me
all the time and...

202
00:11:14,423 --> 00:11:15,632
(GROANS)

203
00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:19,678
If you don't like my cooking,
why haven't you ever said anything?

204
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:23,223
It's hard to talk
with so much heavy chewing to do.

205
00:11:24,975 --> 00:11:28,019
- Sorry. I'll get better.
- I know you'll try.

206
00:11:30,106 --> 00:11:32,649
So, should we talk
about setting a date?

207
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,377
Well, I'd like to pick one that works
with my brother's schedule.

208
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:37,028
Okay, and when would that be?

209
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:40,365
Uh, 12 to 18 months from now,
depending on good behavior.

210
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:42,450
(KNOCKING)

211
00:11:43,327 --> 00:11:45,787
- Hi, is Sheldon here?
- No, I thought he was with you.

212
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:47,831
He was, but he stormed off.

213
00:11:47,998 --> 00:11:50,125
- Now he isn't answering his phone.
- What happened?

214
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:52,377
He was really angry
that you suggested he move out.

215
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:53,795
Oh.

216
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:55,714
I also mentioned
that he and I could live together,

217
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:58,550
but he was too mad at you to realize
what a great idea that is.

218
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:03,138
Well, he's been having
a couple of tough days.

219
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:04,389
I'm sure he's fine.

220
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:07,058
He probably just needs
a little alone time to decompress.

221
00:12:07,226 --> 00:12:09,185
You're probably right.

222
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,146
So, what are you guys doing?

223
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:17,068
Well, Leonard cooked for me and now
we're just having a nice dinner,

224
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:19,654
you know, as a newly engaged couple.

225
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:21,281
That's nice.

226
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:28,872
Anyway, as I was saying,

227
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,750
Sheldon probably just
needs a little alone time.

228
00:12:33,627 --> 00:12:35,920
'Cause that's important.

229
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:40,467
Not just for him, but for...

230
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:43,344
...most anybody, really.

231
00:12:43,512 --> 00:12:45,638
Don't I know it.

232
00:12:45,806 --> 00:12:47,432
- What is that, polenta?
- Amy, get out.

233
00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:48,725
Right.

234
00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:55,398
No.

235
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:00,445
Hey, Sheldon.

236
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,197
What happened?

237
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:04,199
I was cooking
in the back room last night

238
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:08,286
- and the hot plate caught on fire.
- And you couldn't put it out?

239
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:11,080
I was across the street
at the do-it-yourself car wash,

240
00:13:11,248 --> 00:13:12,582
taking a shower.

241
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:17,378
So when will you reopen?

242
00:13:17,671 --> 00:13:22,133
Um, I don't know. I'm waiting to hear
back from the insurance company.

243
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:24,719
So, tomorrow?

244
00:13:26,096 --> 00:13:28,056
I don't mean to be rude,
Sheldon, but,

245
00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:30,225
my life is kind of
falling apart right now.

246
00:13:30,392 --> 00:13:31,643
Your life?

247
00:13:31,811 --> 00:13:34,354
The university is making me
do string theory,

248
00:13:34,522 --> 00:13:37,899
and my girlfriend loves me
so much she wants to live with me.

249
00:13:39,318 --> 00:13:43,571
And now, the place I need to go when
I'm sad is damp and smells funny.

250
00:13:45,616 --> 00:13:47,450
Well, sorry I let you down.

251
00:13:47,618 --> 00:13:50,245
No, I do not accept this.

252
00:13:50,412 --> 00:13:52,580
Everything is changing and I hate it.

253
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:55,416
It stops now. I'm helping you
get back on your feet.

254
00:13:57,795 --> 00:14:00,338
I would like to purchase
this comic book, please.

255
00:14:02,466 --> 00:14:03,675
That'll be $2.99.

256
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,427
Really? It's soaking wet.

257
00:14:07,471 --> 00:14:08,471
Fine, a dollar.

258
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:14,686
- Can you break a 20?
- No, I only have hundreds.

259
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,356
You know what?

260
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:20,817
I don't always recognize sarcasm,
but I do right now,

261
00:14:20,985 --> 00:14:22,944
and I don't appreciate it.

262
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:24,612
I'm sorry for your loss.

263
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:27,615
But you're not the only one
whose day has been a disaster.

264
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:36,624
That could have killed me.

265
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,628
I can't catch a break.

266
00:14:42,131 --> 00:14:43,171
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV)

267
00:14:43,173 --> 00:14:45,717
I haven't heard from Sheldon
in a while. You think he's okay?

268
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,135
Oh, I'm sure he's fine.

269
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:50,179
I'm gonna see where he is.

270
00:14:50,347 --> 00:14:51,347
How?

271
00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:53,641
I know his password,
so I can track his phone.

272
00:14:53,809 --> 00:14:55,226
You do that?

273
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:58,396
Not always, but ever since
he wandered off at the swap meet

274
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:00,565
chasing a balloon, I get worried.

275
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:03,192
He can take care of himself.

276
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,988
Look, we went over stranger danger
and gave him that whistle.

277
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:09,157
That's weird.

278
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:11,784
- What?
- He's at the train station.

279
00:15:11,952 --> 00:15:13,161
So? He loves trains.

280
00:15:13,329 --> 00:15:16,497
It's dark out and he's alone,
I don't like it. Let's go get him.

281
00:15:16,665 --> 00:15:20,001
Oh, it's sweet how you look out
for him. You're a good guy.

282
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:23,630
Not just that. My mother would kill
me if I let something happen to him.

283
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:32,430
- Dude, I'm so sorry.
- Don't take this the wrong way,

284
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:35,183
but did you do this
for the insurance money?

285
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:38,561
No. God, you sound
like the police, the firemen,

286
00:15:38,729 --> 00:15:41,439
my parents, my therapist
and the insurance company.

287
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:45,360
We're here for you, man.
Whatever you need, okay?

288
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:48,237
Actually, I was wondering if I could
crash at your place for a few nights.

289
00:15:48,405 --> 00:15:51,407
Sure, of course. Oh, actually,
Emily was gonna spend the night.

290
00:15:52,284 --> 00:15:54,410
You slept with her? Nice.

291
00:15:54,578 --> 00:15:58,164
Well, I can't take all the credit.
She let me do it to her, but...

292
00:16:01,251 --> 00:16:02,919
But I can always
call her and cancel.

293
00:16:03,087 --> 00:16:05,380
Hang on.
I know a place you can stay,

294
00:16:05,547 --> 00:16:07,548
and earn some money at the same time.

295
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:09,550
- Great.
- I just have to warn you,

296
00:16:09,718 --> 00:16:13,554
it'll involve humiliation,
degradation and verbal abuse.

297
00:16:14,848 --> 00:16:16,933
So what's the catch?

298
00:16:23,023 --> 00:16:24,107
Sheldon.

299
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:26,651
You tracked my phone?

300
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,069
Yeah.

301
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:31,906
Boy, you chase one balloon
for three miles.

302
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,077
We were worried about you.

303
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:38,329
Don't be melodramatic.

304
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:41,416
I'm just getting on a train
and leaving forever.

305
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,254
Seriously? You don't even have
a change of clothes or a toothbrush.

306
00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:49,257
My plan is to stop
at malls and buy what I need.

307
00:16:49,425 --> 00:16:51,300
It's called living off the land.

308
00:16:52,261 --> 00:16:55,596
Okay, I know you're upset
and there's a lot of stuff going on,

309
00:16:55,764 --> 00:16:58,766
but it's nothing we can't work out.
Come on, let's get you home.

310
00:16:58,934 --> 00:17:02,770
No. I've reached my breaking point.
I need to leave. Now.

311
00:17:02,938 --> 00:17:05,523
- And go where?
- It doesn't matter.

312
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:08,818
So a few things don't go your way,

313
00:17:08,986 --> 00:17:12,780
and your best decision
is to ride the rails like a hobo?

314
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:16,617
I suppose it is.

315
00:17:16,785 --> 00:17:18,619
Except I have a credit card.

316
00:17:18,787 --> 00:17:21,831
And I refuse to carry
my laptop at the end of a stick.

317
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:27,795
And I'd sooner die
than eat beans out of a can.

318
00:17:29,298 --> 00:17:32,008
Come on, come home with us and
tomorrow I'll take you to Legoland.

319
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:34,844
Legoland is not
the solution to everything.

320
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:39,223
And it's too much of a scene
since that movie came out.

321
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:44,562
- Then what can I do?
- Leonard, I am overwhelmed.

322
00:17:45,647 --> 00:17:48,524
Everything is changing
and it's simply too much.

323
00:17:48,692 --> 00:17:50,193
I need to get away and think.

324
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:53,112
Oh, come on,
you know you're overreacting.

325
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,074
Leonard, hang on.
Just... come here for a second.

326
00:17:58,494 --> 00:17:59,994
Maybe we need to let him go.

327
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:02,997
- What! Why?
- It might be good for him.

328
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:06,000
You know he can't
take a trip like this by himself.

329
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:09,253
- He's a grown man.
- No, he looks like a grown man.

330
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:14,008
You've seen Freaky Friday,
sometimes little kids

331
00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:16,177
end up in big person bodies.

332
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:19,388
Leonard,
we can't protect him forever.

333
00:18:19,556 --> 00:18:22,725
- I know, but...
- He'll be okay.

334
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:24,519
You taught him well, Padawan.

335
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:29,107
Good Lord! Padawan's the student,
not the teacher.

336
00:18:31,026 --> 00:18:32,693
Seriously, let him go.

337
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:41,869
Sheldon, if you really need to
do this, I won't stand in your way.

338
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:44,205
I do.

339
00:18:45,541 --> 00:18:48,376
Okay. Good luck.

340
00:18:52,923 --> 00:18:54,715
Be safe and call us.

341
00:18:57,970 --> 00:18:59,053
I will.

342
00:19:01,515 --> 00:19:02,515
Bye, buddy.

343
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,106
- Sheldon...
- Yes?

344
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:12,650
I'm gonna miss you.

345
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,195
Of course you are.

346
00:19:18,782 --> 00:19:20,616
He just made that easier.

347
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,251
Hey!

348
00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:36,299
What are you guys still doing here?
I got this, go. Go home.

349
00:19:38,093 --> 00:19:39,886
You sure?

350
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:44,060
Yeah, she's fed, she took her pills,
she's all tucked in and watching TV.

351
00:19:44,641 --> 00:19:46,184
So, she's not too much for you?

352
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:49,145
Are you kidding?
I love her, she's great.

353
00:19:50,814 --> 00:19:53,316
WOMAN: Stewie, you gonna watch
Wheel of Fortune with me?

354
00:19:53,483 --> 00:19:55,443
Coming, Debbie.

355
00:19:57,446 --> 00:20:00,198
- You call her Debbie?
- She insisted.

356
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:02,825
So, hey, guys, thank you so much.

357
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:04,827
This job is a dream come true.

358
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:13,461
Was that a little weird?

359
00:20:13,629 --> 00:20:14,754
Yeah.

360
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:18,341
I don't know why,
but something about it feels...

361
00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:20,134
...unnatural.

362
00:20:22,638 --> 00:20:24,305
- Okay, let's go.
- Yep.

363
00:20:26,975 --> 00:20:28,976
Okay, Sheldon,
thanks for checking in.

364
00:20:29,144 --> 00:20:31,062
Talk to you tomorrow?

365
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,730
Okay, bye.

366
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:35,316
He's okay?

367
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:37,235
Actually sounds like
he's doing pretty well.

368
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,612
I really think
this is gonna be for the best.

369
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:43,115
Me too. And he was able
to take a sabbatical from...

370
00:20:43,283 --> 00:20:45,660
How could you let him go!
