1
00:00:01,667 --> 00:00:03,600
Hello. I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
2
00:00:03,669 --> 00:00:06,102
And I'm Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler.
3
00:00:06,171 --> 00:00:07,804
And this is:
Dr. Sheldon Cooper
4
00:00:07,873 --> 00:00:09,673
and Dr. Amy Farrah
Fowler present...
5
00:00:09,741 --> 00:00:14,100
BOTH: Dr. Sheldon Cooper's
Fun with Flags.
6
00:00:14,790 --> 00:00:17,800
I'd like to start this episode
by apologizing on behalf
7
00:00:17,149 --> 00:00:19,549
of Dr. Fowler, who made
the wild claim last week
8
00:00:19,618 --> 00:00:21,418
that there was no national
tricolored flag
9
00:00:21,486 --> 00:00:23,486
with a purple stripe,
when, in fact,
10
00:00:23,555 --> 00:00:25,500
the Estonian governorate
inside the Russian Empire
11
00:00:25,524 --> 00:00:30,260
had a purple stripe on their
flag from 1721 to 1917.
12
00:00:32,297 --> 00:00:36,566
See? Right there
in the middle.
13
00:00:36,635 --> 00:00:39,603
And I'd like to apologize
on behalf of Dr. Cooper
14
00:00:39,671 --> 00:00:41,972
for having his zipper down
for the entire segment
15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,542
on the flags of East Africa.
16
00:00:45,611 --> 00:00:49,346
Sorry, Tanzania,
you deserve better.
17
00:00:49,414 --> 00:00:51,414
All right, on today's episode,
18
00:00:51,483 --> 00:00:53,316
we're gonna start
with some viewer e-mails.
19
00:00:53,385 --> 00:00:55,151
Oh, take off your glasses
so people can't see
20
00:00:55,220 --> 00:00:56,553
your password in
the reflection.
21
00:00:56,622 --> 00:00:59,856
Oh, s-sure.
22
00:00:59,925 --> 00:01:03,560
Okay, our first e-mail
is-- mm-- from...
23
00:01:03,629 --> 00:01:06,129
uh, Brad or Brian?
24
00:01:06,198 --> 00:01:09,900
- I don't know, maybe it's Seth.
- All right, put them back on.
25
00:01:09,968 --> 00:01:14,938
Oh. Uh... oh, my gosh,
it's from Fermilab in Chicago.
26
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,674
Ah. Not surprising,
the Windy City.
27
00:01:17,743 --> 00:01:20,243
Great flag town.
28
00:01:20,312 --> 00:01:22,245
No, no, it's about our paper.
29
00:01:22,314 --> 00:01:26,160
A team of physicists confirmed
super-asymmetry.
30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,418
Our paper was right.
31
00:01:28,487 --> 00:01:30,530
We did it.
32
00:01:30,122 --> 00:01:31,788
We did it?
33
00:01:31,857 --> 00:01:34,570
We did it.
34
00:01:34,126 --> 00:01:35,926
We did it.
35
00:01:35,994 --> 00:01:38,695
BOTH:
We did it!
36
00:01:38,764 --> 00:01:43,330
- We did it!
- We did it!
37
00:01:43,101 --> 00:01:45,643
Aw, remember when they only
did it on her birthday?

@elder_man
48
00:02:15,277 --> 00:02:18,946
So, my incredible wife
has some exciting news.
49
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:20,948
Howie, stop.
I don't want to brag.
50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,250
Oh, okay, sorry.
51
00:02:24,286 --> 00:02:26,190
(clears throat)
52
00:02:30,426 --> 00:02:32,893
Really? No one's gonna ask?
53
00:02:32,962 --> 00:02:35,629
Sorry. What's your news?
54
00:02:35,698 --> 00:02:37,778
The drug I've been working on
for the past five years
55
00:02:37,833 --> 00:02:39,433
just got approved by the FDA.
56
00:02:39,501 --> 00:02:41,468
- Wow.
- Oh, congratulations.
57
00:02:41,537 --> 00:02:43,236
Was that the decongestant
you developed?
58
00:02:43,305 --> 00:02:46,573
No, we had to rebrand that as
a solvent for mining equipment.
59
00:02:48,444 --> 00:02:51,111
Is it that anti-itch cream you
were testing on grad students?
60
00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:52,946
It's not, but that's
a really funny story
61
00:02:53,150 --> 00:02:55,482
which I'm legally prevented
from telling you.
62
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:57,959
It's her
anti-inflammatory drug.
63
00:02:57,987 --> 00:02:59,252
Oh.
64
00:02:59,321 --> 00:03:01,366
Yep, three years of testing
and no reported side effects.
65
00:03:01,390 --> 00:03:02,656
Ah, so it works.
66
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:03,790
Eh.
67
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,662
Well, congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
68
00:03:08,731 --> 00:03:09,963
Yeah, well, I'm happy for you,
69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,765
because I want you
to head up my sales team.
70
00:03:11,834 --> 00:03:15,200
Really? Me? Don't you want
someone with more experience?
71
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:16,403
Nope. The job's all yours.
72
00:03:16,472 --> 00:03:17,704
(laughs)
Okay, well, thank you.
73
00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:19,413
Why don't we just chat
about this at work?
74
00:03:19,475 --> 00:03:22,476
We can chat about it all you
want, but you're doing it.
75
00:03:22,544 --> 00:03:25,450
(chuckles)
We'll see.
76
00:03:25,114 --> 00:03:27,547
That's a yes.
77
00:03:27,616 --> 00:03:29,783
You guys will never believe
what just happened.
78
00:03:29,852 --> 00:03:31,118
Yeah, we heard.
79
00:03:31,186 --> 00:03:33,200
You did it.
80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,356
We did do it.
81
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:39,359
And we didn't even
know we did it!
82
00:03:40,562 --> 00:03:42,496
Wait, what?
83
00:03:42,564 --> 00:03:46,366
Two physicists in Chicago
had to tell us.
84
00:03:47,736 --> 00:03:50,570
Wait, what?
85
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,340
Their experiment on kaon decay
supported our predictions
86
00:03:53,409 --> 00:03:56,410
on the higher order corrections
pertaining to super-asymmetry.
87
00:03:56,478 --> 00:03:58,912
Wait, what?
88
00:04:00,315 --> 00:04:02,749
I am so proud of you.
89
00:04:02,818 --> 00:04:04,418
Well, I know how
to do the dishes.
90
00:04:04,486 --> 00:04:06,486
Just, sometimes
I'm tired.
91
00:04:09,258 --> 00:04:12,826
No, I-I mean, I'm proud of
how well you're doing at work.
92
00:04:12,895 --> 00:04:14,995
Are you even using soap?
93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,631
- Do you want to do this?
- Yeah, I really do.
94
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:19,633
You know, it was nice
of Bernadette to offer,
95
00:04:19,702 --> 00:04:22,200
but I'm not sure it's
the right move for me.
96
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:23,314
Well, what are you
talking about?
97
00:04:23,338 --> 00:04:24,871
If you were in charge
of her project,
98
00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:26,106
wouldn't that
be a promotion?
99
00:04:26,175 --> 00:04:28,135
Well, yeah, but it's not
the most important thing.
100
00:04:28,177 --> 00:04:29,854
Aren't you always saying
it's about the work,
101
00:04:29,878 --> 00:04:32,120
not more money
or a better title?
102
00:04:32,810 --> 00:04:35,482
All the smart things I say,
and you remember the dumb one.
103
00:04:35,551 --> 00:04:37,818
Plus, I'd be working
for Bernadette.
104
00:04:37,886 --> 00:04:39,453
I don't know
if that's a good idea.
105
00:04:39,521 --> 00:04:41,855
Look, I-I know she
can be difficult,
106
00:04:41,924 --> 00:04:43,557
but she's no match for you.
107
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:46,493
Whatever she dishes out, you
can give it right back double.
108
00:04:46,562 --> 00:04:47,906
What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
109
00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:50,230
There you go.
110
00:04:51,633 --> 00:04:52,999
(intercom beeps)
111
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,212
RECEPTIONIST:
President Siebert,
112
00:04:54,236 --> 00:04:56,303
I have Dr. Cooper
and Dr. Fowler for you.
113
00:04:56,371 --> 00:04:58,138
Great.
114
00:04:58,207 --> 00:05:00,841
You two.
115
00:05:00,909 --> 00:05:03,510
Bring it in.
116
00:05:03,579 --> 00:05:05,345
(stammers) What are
we bringing in?
117
00:05:05,414 --> 00:05:06,780
A hug.
118
00:05:06,849 --> 00:05:09,616
Oh. No, I don't want to.
119
00:05:09,685 --> 00:05:12,419
Well, what you don't want,
you don't get.
120
00:05:12,488 --> 00:05:14,955
Come on. Sit.
121
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:17,491
I hope you know, with these
new data supporting your theory,
122
00:05:17,559 --> 00:05:20,227
we could be looking
at a Nobel-winning achievement.
123
00:05:20,295 --> 00:05:22,229
And by "we,"
124
00:05:22,297 --> 00:05:23,663
you mean "we,"
125
00:05:23,732 --> 00:05:25,866
not "we."
126
00:05:25,934 --> 00:05:28,335
"We," "we," whatever.
127
00:05:28,403 --> 00:05:29,703
Whee!
128
00:05:29,772 --> 00:05:32,720
Just a heads-up.
129
00:05:32,141 --> 00:05:36,910
Doctors Pemberton and Campbell
from Fermilab
130
00:05:36,979 --> 00:05:39,412
Confirming my theory,Angeles,
eager to meet me.
131
00:05:39,481 --> 00:05:41,915
They are checking
all my boxes.
132
00:05:41,984 --> 00:05:44,117
You know,
Caltech has 38 Nobel laureates.
133
00:05:44,186 --> 00:05:47,821
If you win, you and Amy
will be 39 and 40.
134
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:50,590
Ooh! Dibs on 39.
135
00:05:50,659 --> 00:05:52,225
What's the difference?
136
00:05:52,294 --> 00:05:54,494
Wha... You are right,
there is no difference at all.
137
00:05:58,634 --> 00:06:01,201
Thank you. It is exciting.
138
00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:03,103
Oh, that's very sweet.
139
00:06:03,172 --> 00:06:04,571
I'm gonna remember
you said that.
140
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,940
Just like I remember how
you tried to take my office
141
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:08,542
when I was on maternity leave.
142
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:10,410
(laughs)
143
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:12,479
Of course I'm not angry.
144
00:06:12,548 --> 00:06:14,481
Bye-bye.
145
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:16,683
How can I be angry
at a dead man?
146
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:20,200
Hey, you got a sec?
147
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,210
Sure. What's up?
148
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:22,956
Uh, bad news.
149
00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:24,457
I spoke to my supervisor
150
00:06:24,526 --> 00:06:26,237
about heading up
your sales team, and she said
151
00:06:26,261 --> 00:06:27,661
she just can't
lose me right now.
152
00:06:27,729 --> 00:06:30,664
Do you want me to call her?
I could rip her a new one.
153
00:06:30,732 --> 00:06:32,532
No, no. No ripping.
154
00:06:32,601 --> 00:06:34,801
Um, anyway, I-I don't want
to leave her shorthanded,
155
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:35,969
so I'm sorry.
156
00:06:36,380 --> 00:06:37,871
I respect that.
157
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:39,573
That's what makes you
a good employee.
158
00:06:39,641 --> 00:06:40,674
Oh, thank you.
159
00:06:40,742 --> 00:06:42,142
It's just such a bummer.
160
00:06:42,211 --> 00:06:45,312
I know. Just, ugh!
161
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:47,581
You sure you don't want me
to call her?
162
00:06:47,649 --> 00:06:49,616
Oh, no, I'm sure, definitely
sure. Don't call her.
163
00:06:49,685 --> 00:06:52,352
But, you know, just, ugh, why?
164
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,258
The last time we were in this
room, we were getting married.
165
00:06:58,327 --> 00:06:59,593
I remember.
166
00:06:59,661 --> 00:07:04,300
It's a lot less impressive
without Mark Hamill in it.
167
00:07:04,990 --> 00:07:05,832
That's what you said
about our honeymoon.
168
00:07:05,901 --> 00:07:08,134
And I stand by it.
169
00:07:08,203 --> 00:07:09,502
Doctors Cooper and Fowler,
170
00:07:09,571 --> 00:07:11,338
these are Doctors Pemberton
and Campbell,
171
00:07:11,406 --> 00:07:13,730
whose experiment
confirmed your work.
172
00:07:13,141 --> 00:07:15,475
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. Hi.
173
00:07:18,981 --> 00:07:21,248
Okay, I'll leave you all to it.
174
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:23,550
Remember about
the hugging.
175
00:07:25,587 --> 00:07:28,355
It is such a pleasure
to meet you.
176
00:07:28,423 --> 00:07:30,223
Oh, it's really nice
to meet you, too.
177
00:07:30,292 --> 00:07:32,192
I mean, we thought we'd
have to wait decades
178
00:07:32,261 --> 00:07:33,693
to get confirmation
for our theory.
179
00:07:33,762 --> 00:07:36,620
Yes, thanks to you,
I'll get to eat my Nobel dinner
180
00:07:36,131 --> 00:07:37,731
with my original teeth.
181
00:07:37,799 --> 00:07:40,734
Well, this certainly is a thrill
for us. Lunch with you two,
182
00:07:40,802 --> 00:07:43,303
and, uh, tomorrow, we're gonna
see a taping of Ellen.
183
00:07:44,339 --> 00:07:45,972
She's having John Stamos on.
184
00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:47,474
Uncle Jesse!
185
00:07:47,542 --> 00:07:50,110
Sounds fun.
186
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:53,780
So, um, listen, we just
published a few months ago.
187
00:07:53,849 --> 00:07:56,283
How did you have time to
design an experiment?
188
00:07:56,351 --> 00:08:00,754
We didn't. This whole thing
is actually a gigantic accident.
189
00:08:00,822 --> 00:08:02,433
CAMPBELL: Yeah, we've been
working with kaons,
190
00:08:02,457 --> 00:08:04,557
and our data made
absolutely no sense.
191
00:08:04,626 --> 00:08:06,660
A few weeks ago, someone
told us about your paper,
192
00:08:06,728 --> 00:08:08,762
and we realized
that our failed experiment
193
00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:10,563
confirmed your theory.
194
00:08:10,632 --> 00:08:12,650
And now,
instead of losing our jobs,
195
00:08:12,134 --> 00:08:14,434
Fermilab flew us to L.A.
Economy Plus.
196
00:08:16,471 --> 00:08:18,438
Free headphones.
197
00:08:19,942 --> 00:08:22,442
Looks like my wife left me
a month too soon.
198
00:08:22,511 --> 00:08:23,610
(laughs)
199
00:08:25,614 --> 00:08:29,482
(stammers) So you weren't even
thinking about super-asymmetry?
200
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,217
Thinking about it?
(chuckles)
201
00:08:31,286 --> 00:08:33,253
We don't even
understand it.
202
00:08:33,322 --> 00:08:35,221
(both laugh)
PEMBERTON: And now look at
203
00:08:35,290 --> 00:08:37,657
the four of us,
changing the face of physics!
204
00:08:37,726 --> 00:08:39,292
Ooh, I got to do it.
205
00:08:47,776 --> 00:08:51,377
Oh, man, that last episode of
Star Trek: Discovery was crazy.
206
00:08:51,446 --> 00:08:53,900
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I-I'm actually one behind.
207
00:08:53,114 --> 00:08:54,781
I haven't started
the new season yet.
208
00:08:56,885 --> 00:08:58,296
Ooh, uh, how about
this week's Walking Dead?
209
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,419
Two behind.
210
00:08:59,487 --> 00:09:00,687
Three behind.
211
00:09:02,657 --> 00:09:04,123
- Black Mirror?
- No.
212
00:09:04,192 --> 00:09:05,792
No.
213
00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:08,270
Come on, there must be
something we've all seen.
214
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,363
Oh, how about that video
of my dog I sent you,
215
00:09:10,432 --> 00:09:13,266
where she's growling
at a pinecone?
216
00:09:13,335 --> 00:09:14,934
I actually hadn't
watched it yet,
217
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:16,736
but thanks
for ruining the ending.
218
00:09:17,772 --> 00:09:19,339
Uh, can you believe this?
219
00:09:19,407 --> 00:09:22,410
Doctors Pemberton and Campbell
have been doing a press tour
220
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:23,943
trying to take credit
for super-asymmetry.
221
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,656
They didn't even know
what they were finding.
222
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,810
So what? I mean, no one's
gonna give them credit
223
00:09:28,149 --> 00:09:29,327
for accidentally
discovering something.
224
00:09:29,351 --> 00:09:31,417
WOLOWITZ:
Yeah, who remembers the guy
225
00:09:31,486 --> 00:09:34,253
who was trying to find India
and discovered America instead?
226
00:09:34,322 --> 00:09:35,955
What was his name again?
(chuckles)
227
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,891
But this is different.
228
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,600
Sheldon, super-asymmetry
is your paper.
229
00:09:41,129 --> 00:09:42,729
Everyone knows
you were there first.
230
00:09:42,797 --> 00:09:46,399
Mm, actually, the Nobel
Committee has sometimes favored
231
00:09:46,468 --> 00:09:49,702
experimentalists like them
over theoreticians like you.
232
00:09:49,771 --> 00:09:52,500
No, that's just
a scary campfire story
233
00:09:52,730 --> 00:09:53,606
like the guy with the hook.
234
00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:57,760
No, i-it's true.
235
00:09:57,145 --> 00:09:58,711
The scientists
that proved the big bang,
236
00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:01,481
they thought their sensors
needed cleaning
237
00:10:01,549 --> 00:10:03,783
until someone pointed out
that they were picking up
238
00:10:03,852 --> 00:10:06,452
cosmic background radiation
from the singularity.
239
00:10:06,521 --> 00:10:07,887
They won the Nobel.
240
00:10:07,956 --> 00:10:10,230
Not the scientists
that came up with the theory.
241
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:12,925
So you're saying they could
steal our Nobel Prize?
242
00:10:12,994 --> 00:10:15,294
- Yes.
- That's terrible.
243
00:10:16,998 --> 00:10:18,970
Good news, though:
244
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:20,660
Now we have something
we can talk about.
245
00:10:23,905 --> 00:10:25,271
Hey, you wanted
to see me?
246
00:10:25,340 --> 00:10:27,206
- Yeah, come on in.
- Okay.
247
00:10:27,275 --> 00:10:28,941
Close the door.
248
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,676
Okay.
249
00:10:33,648 --> 00:10:34,747
Have a seat.
250
00:10:34,816 --> 00:10:36,582
Do I have to?
251
00:10:36,651 --> 00:10:38,317
You really do.
252
00:10:41,122 --> 00:10:43,790
So, I talked
to your supervisor,
253
00:10:43,858 --> 00:10:46,125
and she said that she
never stopped you
254
00:10:46,194 --> 00:10:48,861
from working on my team,
because you never asked her.
255
00:10:48,930 --> 00:10:50,430
Really?
256
00:10:50,498 --> 00:10:51,931
Oh, you know, you should know,
257
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,766
she's been taking
our new antidepressant,
258
00:10:53,835 --> 00:10:57,300
and lying is one
of the main side effects.
259
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,505
Why don't you want
to work with me?
260
00:10:59,574 --> 00:11:01,674
I know I can be tough,
but that's just 'cause
261
00:11:01,743 --> 00:11:04,143
I'm surrounded by
useless idiots.
262
00:11:04,212 --> 00:11:06,179
No, it's not that.
263
00:11:06,247 --> 00:11:07,513
Then why?
264
00:11:07,582 --> 00:11:10,183
Honestly, I don't know
if I'm up to it.
265
00:11:10,251 --> 00:11:12,180
You know,
the last project I managed
266
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:14,187
was my high school yearbook.
- And?
267
00:11:14,255 --> 00:11:17,390
And that was the year
we didn't have one.
268
00:11:17,459 --> 00:11:19,300
Apparently, the printers
won't make them
269
00:11:19,270 --> 00:11:20,560
without getting paid.
270
00:11:20,628 --> 00:11:22,950
What happened to the money?
271
00:11:22,163 --> 00:11:24,964
Uh, if I didn't know then, I'm
not gonna magically know now.
272
00:11:25,330 --> 00:11:27,533
Plus, you know,
I didn't go to college.
273
00:11:27,602 --> 00:11:29,647
I'd be in charge of people
that are far more educated
274
00:11:29,671 --> 00:11:31,838
with more experience;
what if they don't listen to me?
275
00:11:31,906 --> 00:11:33,539
Then you be really mean to them.
276
00:11:33,608 --> 00:11:35,740
Have I taught you nothing?
277
00:11:36,344 --> 00:11:38,311
Penny, everybody
feels like you do.
278
00:11:38,379 --> 00:11:39,745
Like they're not good enough,
279
00:11:39,814 --> 00:11:41,614
not smart enough.
- What, even you?
280
00:11:41,683 --> 00:11:43,916
- Of course.
- Dr. Rostenkowski, you wanted me...
281
00:11:43,985 --> 00:11:46,452
Hey, did they not teach
knocking at Stanford? Get out!
282
00:11:49,357 --> 00:11:50,890
(chuckles) I love that kid.
283
00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:56,629
There you are.
284
00:11:56,698 --> 00:11:58,397
Dr. Cooper, hello.
285
00:11:58,466 --> 00:12:01,234
Hello to you, too. Now stop
trying to steal our Nobel Prize.
286
00:12:01,302 --> 00:12:02,668
You come up with your own idea.
287
00:12:02,737 --> 00:12:04,670
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
288
00:12:05,807 --> 00:12:07,607
Wouldn't that
be something, though?
289
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:09,738
Well, too bad.
290
00:12:09,739 --> 00:12:11,566
This discovery belongs
to Amy and me.
291
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:12,579
(sighs)
292
00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:13,713
Look, Dr. Cooper,
293
00:12:13,781 --> 00:12:15,114
we all want a Nobel Prize.
294
00:12:15,183 --> 00:12:17,428
Super-asymmetry could be the
breakthrough that gets us there.
295
00:12:17,452 --> 00:12:20,153
But we can't fight over credit;
we have to work together.
296
00:12:20,221 --> 00:12:22,555
So...
297
00:12:22,624 --> 00:12:24,457
you're saying
that the four of us
298
00:12:24,526 --> 00:12:27,760
should just agree
to share this discovery?
299
00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:29,662
Well, no,
unfortunately,
300
00:12:29,731 --> 00:12:31,531
only three people
can share a Nobel.
301
00:12:31,599 --> 00:12:33,650
Oh, that's right.
302
00:12:35,370 --> 00:12:36,569
So he's out?
303
00:12:37,939 --> 00:12:39,972
No, I'm not out.
304
00:12:41,409 --> 00:12:43,809
So he's out?
305
00:12:43,878 --> 00:12:45,178
Neither of us is out.
306
00:12:45,246 --> 00:12:46,946
We think that
the three physicists
307
00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:49,682
should be the ones to win
the Nobel Prize for physics.
308
00:12:50,952 --> 00:12:52,785
Wait, so you want
to cut Amy out?
309
00:12:52,854 --> 00:12:54,353
No, of course not.
310
00:12:54,422 --> 00:12:56,489
We don't want to,
but we're going to.
311
00:12:57,759 --> 00:12:59,258
But she's my wife.
312
00:12:59,327 --> 00:13:01,600
Yes, exactly,
she's your wife.
313
00:13:01,129 --> 00:13:02,495
And she's a neuroscientist.
314
00:13:02,564 --> 00:13:05,198
It's like, what's she
even doing on this paper?
315
00:13:06,968 --> 00:13:10,360
It just raises questions.
316
00:13:10,104 --> 00:13:11,804
Look, Fermilab
is going to recommend
317
00:13:11,873 --> 00:13:13,439
the three of us
to the Nobel Committee.
318
00:13:13,508 --> 00:13:16,342
The best chance we have is if
your university does the same.
319
00:13:18,379 --> 00:13:20,379
I see.
320
00:13:21,883 --> 00:13:23,961
So you really think that
I'm the kind of man who would
321
00:13:23,985 --> 00:13:25,296
sell out his partner
for the chance
322
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,586
of winning a Nobel Prize?
323
00:13:26,654 --> 00:13:27,987
Are you?
324
00:13:29,230 --> 00:13:30,656
Boy, I hope not.
325
00:13:33,895 --> 00:13:35,461
I can't believe
Penny doesn't want
326
00:13:35,530 --> 00:13:37,797
to head up my sales team.
- That's too bad.
327
00:13:37,865 --> 00:13:40,990
But it's her decision,
not yours.
328
00:13:40,168 --> 00:13:42,368
Do you hear how dumb you sound?
329
00:13:43,538 --> 00:13:45,905
Why does this matter
to you so much?
330
00:13:45,974 --> 00:13:47,974
Because I believe in her,
and I make people better.
331
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:49,175
It's what I do.
332
00:13:49,244 --> 00:13:50,509
Against their will?
333
00:13:50,578 --> 00:13:52,178
It's no fun if they want to.
334
00:13:52,247 --> 00:13:53,746
That's just called watching.
335
00:13:54,849 --> 00:13:56,249
Look at Howard.
336
00:13:56,317 --> 00:13:57,984
He was a disaster
when I met him.
337
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Now he's a foxy astronaut
with a hot wife.
338
00:14:01,589 --> 00:14:03,689
Wait, he always wanted
to be an astronaut.
339
00:14:03,758 --> 00:14:05,224
He thinks that, too.
340
00:14:05,293 --> 00:14:07,126
That's how good I am.
341
00:14:08,429 --> 00:14:09,795
Wait, so what
are you gonna do?
342
00:14:09,864 --> 00:14:11,297
Just badger her
until she says yes?
343
00:14:11,366 --> 00:14:14,700
Mm, that may have worked on you,
but she's too smart for that.
344
00:14:16,404 --> 00:14:18,315
Well, if you like fixing people,
I could use some help.
345
00:14:18,339 --> 00:14:19,872
Raj.
346
00:14:19,941 --> 00:14:22,275
Why do you think you stopped
wearing Crocs and socks?
347
00:14:22,343 --> 00:14:26,145
Uh, well, one day I just woke up
and realized they looked silly.
348
00:14:26,214 --> 00:14:28,614
Yes, you did.
All on your own.
349
00:14:30,251 --> 00:14:32,118
(whispering):
That's how good I am.
350
00:14:36,257 --> 00:14:37,623
(clucking tongue)
351
00:14:37,692 --> 00:14:39,492
What's wrong?
352
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,460
Why do you assume
something's wrong?
353
00:14:41,529 --> 00:14:43,396
Because you haven't
touched your dinner,
354
00:14:43,464 --> 00:14:47,199
and you're literally ticking
like a bomb about to go off.
355
00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:49,268
Oh, Amy.
356
00:14:49,337 --> 00:14:52,405
You see through me
like one of Penny's shirts.
357
00:14:53,975 --> 00:14:55,508
Just tell me.
358
00:14:57,912 --> 00:15:00,790
I talked to Doctors Pemberton
and Campbell today.
359
00:15:00,148 --> 00:15:03,849
They reminded me that only three
people can share a Nobel Prize.
360
00:15:03,918 --> 00:15:05,818
Their university
is recommending
361
00:15:05,887 --> 00:15:07,687
the two of them and me.
362
00:15:07,755 --> 00:15:09,755
And they want Caltech
to do the same.
363
00:15:12,393 --> 00:15:13,559
Oh.
364
00:15:13,628 --> 00:15:15,695
They say, if we present
a united front,
365
00:15:15,763 --> 00:15:17,830
we have a much better shot
at winning.
366
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,667
Well, you know,
367
00:15:21,736 --> 00:15:23,350
that makes sense.
368
00:15:23,104 --> 00:15:25,338
Oh, but don't worry.
I won't do that to you.
369
00:15:29,143 --> 00:15:30,509
Maybe you should.
370
00:15:30,578 --> 00:15:32,111
What?
371
00:15:33,681 --> 00:15:35,881
This has been
your lifelong dream.
372
00:15:35,950 --> 00:15:38,751
And you may not get
another chance.
373
00:15:38,820 --> 00:15:41,854
I don't want to be the reason
that you don't win a Nobel.
374
00:15:41,923 --> 00:15:45,291
You're the only
reason I deserve one.
375
00:15:48,763 --> 00:15:50,763
But if your best shot
is with them,
376
00:15:50,832 --> 00:15:52,331
I think you should take it.
377
00:15:54,135 --> 00:15:56,669
Is this really
what you want me to do?
378
00:15:57,972 --> 00:16:00,706
I just want you to be happy.
379
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:03,209
Thank you.
380
00:16:06,214 --> 00:16:08,214
(clicking tongue)
381
00:16:13,154 --> 00:16:15,454
Hey. How long have you
been sitting there?
382
00:16:15,523 --> 00:16:16,963
Long enough for two
of your neighbors
383
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,425
to ask if I was lost
and looking for my mother.
384
00:16:19,494 --> 00:16:21,927
I'm not changing my mind,
Bernie.
385
00:16:21,996 --> 00:16:23,562
That's okay. I'm sorry.
386
00:16:23,631 --> 00:16:26,198
It was wrong of me to badger you
into doing something
387
00:16:26,267 --> 00:16:27,600
that made you uncomfortable.
388
00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:28,601
Thank you.
389
00:16:28,669 --> 00:16:30,836
Mm, it's probably
for the best.
390
00:16:30,905 --> 00:16:32,638
I need someone
who's strong and confident
391
00:16:32,707 --> 00:16:35,408
to head up my sales team,
so I'm giving it to Karen.
392
00:16:35,476 --> 00:16:37,843
What... Karen?
Well, what's the job?
393
00:16:37,912 --> 00:16:41,347
Eating my yogurt and
then lying about it?
394
00:16:41,416 --> 00:16:42,848
I'm just saying.
395
00:16:42,917 --> 00:16:44,850
She went to college.
She's really smart.
396
00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:46,485
Well, I'm smarter than Karen.
397
00:16:46,554 --> 00:16:50,623
I can read the word "Penny"
on a cup of yogurt.
398
00:16:50,691 --> 00:16:51,957
Why are you getting so upset?
399
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:53,959
I'm agreeing with you.
This is a big job,
400
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,939
and I need someone
who's up to it.
401
00:16:54,940 --> 00:16:57,408
I am up to it.
I'm just nervous about it.
402
00:16:57,432 --> 00:16:58,832
I know.
403
00:16:58,833 --> 00:17:00,633
And that's why
I don't want to pressure you
404
00:17:00,701 --> 00:17:02,861
into doing something that you
clearly don't want to do.
405
00:17:02,904 --> 00:17:04,637
I know what you're up to.
406
00:17:04,705 --> 00:17:06,605
Is it working?
407
00:17:06,674 --> 00:17:08,407
Yes.
408
00:17:10,511 --> 00:17:14,180
- So I'll see you Monday morning?
-Yes.
409
00:17:14,248 --> 00:17:16,849
I bet I can make
that girl president.
410
00:17:19,187 --> 00:17:20,686
(intercom beeps)
411
00:17:20,755 --> 00:17:22,232
RECEPTIONIST: Uh, President Siebert,
Dr. Cooper is...
412
00:17:22,256 --> 00:17:24,190
I need to talk to
you about the paper
413
00:17:24,258 --> 00:17:26,492
that Dr. Fowler
and I published.
414
00:17:26,561 --> 00:17:28,494
Send him in.
415
00:17:28,563 --> 00:17:30,620
Amy and I did this together,
416
00:17:30,131 --> 00:17:32,310
and I will not
be part of an award
417
00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:34,770
that does not recognize
the value of her contributions.
418
00:17:34,101 --> 00:17:36,635
So you either include both of us
in the recommendation letter,
419
00:17:36,704 --> 00:17:38,170
or don't bother writing one.
420
00:17:38,239 --> 00:17:40,473
I hope you know
that's going to cause a fight
421
00:17:40,541 --> 00:17:42,341
between us
and the Fermilab team.
422
00:17:42,410 --> 00:17:44,743
If it's a fight that doesn't
involve any touching,
423
00:17:44,812 --> 00:17:46,979
risk of physical harm
or uncomfortable eye contact
424
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,959
'cause it's happening online
or through intermediaries,
425
00:17:48,983 --> 00:17:50,749
I say bring it.
426
00:17:50,818 --> 00:17:53,185
All right.
I respect your decision.
427
00:17:53,254 --> 00:17:55,254
You do?
428
00:17:55,323 --> 00:17:57,890
Yes. You and Dr. Fowler
have my full support.
429
00:17:57,959 --> 00:18:00,250
Oh, okay.
430
00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:02,595
I anticipated
a little more pushback.
431
00:18:02,663 --> 00:18:04,997
Sorry, my job here
is to serve your needs,
432
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:06,499
both academic and personal.
433
00:18:06,567 --> 00:18:09,134
Huh.
434
00:18:09,203 --> 00:18:11,114
Well, now I'm filled with
all this nervous energy.
435
00:18:11,138 --> 00:18:13,720
I don't know quite
what to do with it.
436
00:18:13,140 --> 00:18:15,241
We have a fully equipped
gymnasium.
437
00:18:15,309 --> 00:18:16,976
Yeah... Really?
438
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,780
Where's that?
439
00:18:19,146 --> 00:18:20,713
It's part of the new
sports complex.
440
00:18:20,781 --> 00:18:22,681
Oh.
441
00:18:22,750 --> 00:18:24,450
And where is that?
442
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:26,510
Come on, I'll show you.
443
00:18:28,589 --> 00:18:30,222
Are there monkey bars?
444
00:18:35,702 --> 00:18:37,301
All right, now,
I'm sure some of you
445
00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:38,681
are wondering,
"Who is this woman?
446
00:18:38,705 --> 00:18:41,439
"How did she get to be
in charge of the sales team?
447
00:18:41,507 --> 00:18:44,241
Is it because she's friends
with Dr. Rostenkowski?"
448
00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:46,644
Because she is.
449
00:18:46,713 --> 00:18:49,180
"Is it because she was
Miss Cornhusker 2001
450
00:18:49,248 --> 00:18:51,515
and still fits
in those very same jeans?"
451
00:18:51,584 --> 00:18:53,150
'Cause she was, and she does,
452
00:18:53,219 --> 00:18:54,752
and they're actually
a little baggy.
453
00:18:56,489 --> 00:18:58,956
Or is it because she's
the best damn salesperson here?
454
00:18:59,250 --> 00:19:00,324
Because I am.
455
00:19:00,393 --> 00:19:03,961
Now that we're clear on that,
here are the drug specs
456
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:05,730
and marketing strategy
for Inflamminex.
457
00:19:05,798 --> 00:19:09,300
Which, now that I say it out
loud, might be a placeholder.
458
00:19:09,368 --> 00:19:11,969
By tomorrow, I want everyone to
have this committed to memory.
459
00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:13,971
Do you have it
committed to memory?
460
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,600
You want to have
a contest, Karen?
461
00:19:16,750 --> 00:19:18,750
Winner gets a yogurt.
462
00:19:19,345 --> 00:19:20,845
No, boss.
463
00:19:20,913 --> 00:19:23,214
All right, now we all know
what we need to do.
464
00:19:23,282 --> 00:19:24,448
Let's go do it.
465
00:19:25,518 --> 00:19:28,385
R-Right now.
Get out of here. Go.
466
00:19:30,423 --> 00:19:32,289
That was
really impressive.
467
00:19:32,358 --> 00:19:33,791
Damn right it
was impressive.
468
00:19:33,860 --> 00:19:36,460
- Okay, that tone doesn't work with me.
- Sorry, boss.
