"How much time do we have?" "Uh, t-minus five hours, 37 minutes" "To onset of meteor shower." "Okay, our position is 34.48 degrees north, 118.31 west." "That means the azimuth" "Should be... 168.22 degrees relative to magnetic north" "With an elevation of 49.93." "Anything yet?" "Uh, we have a signal, but there's no frame lock." "Ha." "How about now?" "We did it." "We have the west coast feed of HBO." "Ooh, Real Sex." "Big deal." "Every time I watch that show" "All right, let's see what's on the east coast feed." "Oh, hey." "Dune." "Not a great movie," "But look at that beautiful desert." "(sighs)" "Too bad Sheldon couldn't come with us." "Oh it's just not the same without him." "(all laughing)" "Oh, this sucks I'm switching back to Real Sex." "Sheldon's log." "stardate 63345.3" "While my colleagues are off" "Observing the Leonid meteor shower," "I have remained behind to complete my paper" "On the decays of highly excited massive string states." "Although my research is going well" "I do miss the warmth of human companionship." "Hahaha." "And good evening to you, Siam Palace." "This is Sheldon Cooper." "Yeah, I'm going to be dining alone this evening," "So I'll be reducing my usual order." "I'd like to start with one quarter" "Of the assorted appetizers plate" "And, uh, one half of the golden treasure for two." "Oh, for heaven's sake" "In the mid-18th century," "King Rama IV of Siam divided a huge empire" "Amongst the colonial powers of Europe" "In order to preserve his throne." "Surely, you, his cultural desendant," "Can handle pad thai and dumplings." "Penny (screaming):" "Sheldon help!" "I need to go-- but you keep in mind" "That my sharply worded comments" "Penny." "Penny." "Penny." "Come in!" "Hurry!" "(water running)" "Penny?" "I'm back here." "Penny." "Penny." "Penny." "Oh, for god's sakes, I'm in the bathroom!" "Shall I come back at a better time?" "Get in here!" "Hurry!" "Don't you dare knock." "Hello." "I slipped in the shower," "And I think I dislocated my shoulder." "Not surprising." "You have no safety mat or adhesive stickers" "To allow for purchase on a surface" "With a low coefficient of static friction." "What?" "Tubs are slippery." "I know." "I slipped." "I have a series of whimsical duck stickers" "On the bottom of my tub." "Yeah, okay, whatever." "Will you just turn the water off and help me up?" "They're holding umbrellas." "(groans) what?" "The ducks in my tub." "Uh-huh." "They're whimsical because ducks have neither the need for" "Nor the ability to use umbrellas." "Oh, my god." "I got to go to the emergency room." "Well, assuming you're correct that your right humerus" "Is no longer seated in the glenoid socket," "I would certainly think so." "Okay, can you drive me?" "I don't drive." "Well, I can't drive!" "Well, it seems we've reached an impasse." "Ow." "I could call you a cab or an ambulance." "No, no, no." "I can't wait that long." "You got to help me, please." "All right." "Let it never be said that Sheldon Lee Cooper" "Ignored the pleas of a damsel in distress." "No one's saying that." "Let's go." "Well, it does seem rather ironic" "That for want of 99-cent adhesive ducks," "We both might die in a fiery car crash." "I wish Penny didn't for want didn't have to work." "She loves camping." "Yeah, that would have been great." "You and Penny having sex in the tent" "While I sit out here and watch Howard hump a cactus." "Okay, the best I can tell," "There are eight other campsites nearby." "Mostly science nerds like us," "But just over yon ridge are two" "Not unattractive middle school teachers" "Who reek of desperation." "Wow." "Wonderful." "How old are they?" "Oh I don't know. 50, 55." "Oh, menopause." "Nature's birth control." "Come on." "You guys can't be that hard up." "I am." "Yeah, me, too." "Look-- they gave me homeade cookies of course, they did." "That's what grandmothers do." "So, what are we waiting for?" "(chuckling):" "Relax." "I said we'd stop by a little later" "After they have their nap." "Good idea." "They'll be refreshed." "Cookie?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Not bad." "Yeah, very tasty." "Well, so tell me more about these teachers." "Not much to tell." "They had a VW Microbus" "And were wearing tie-dyed Grateful Dead shirts." "Huh." "Mmm." "Good cookies." "I see no organizational system in here whatsoever." "Which panties do you wear on mondays?" "I don't need panties." "I just need shorts and a shirt." "My mother always told me one should wear clean underpants" "In case one is in an accident." "One was already in an accident." "That doesn't mean one won't be in another," "Especially if I'm driving." "Clothes, Sheldon." "I need clothes!" "Okay." "Here." "Seriously?" "Those shorts with that top?" "All right." "No." "No." "Oh, that's cute." "We should have you checked for a concussion." "(sighs) okay." "Now, you got to help me put these on." "All right." "But don't look." "Don't look?" "I don't want you to see me naked." "Oh." "Well, that's understandable." "You may be interested to know that a prohibition against looking" "Is well established in heroic mythology." "Uh, Lot and his wife, Perseus and Medusa," "Orpheus and Eurydi..." "Yeah, great." "They always look." "It never ends well." "Ok, now you gotta help me get my arm into the sleeve." "Ok." "Is that my arm?" "It doesn't feel like an arm." "Then, maybe you should let it go." "All righty." "Stars are pretty, aren't they?" "Up above the world so high," "Like little diamonds in the sky." "That's beautiful, dude." "You should..." "You should write that down" "Before someone steals it." "So, when do the meteors get here?" "The meteors don't get here." "The earth is moving into their path." "I can feel it." "I can feel the earth moving." "It's moving too fast." "Raj, slow it down." "Okay, how's that?" "Better." "Thanks." "Stars are pretty, aren't they?" "(laughing)" "What's so funny?" "It's your American accent." "Everything you say sounds stupid." "(laughing)" "(american accent):" ""stars are pretty, aren't they?"" "(laughing)" "(all laughing)" "For the record, I should let you know" "This is my first time driving an actual motor vehicle." "You have your learner's permit, right?" "Yes, and I have logged" "A considerable number of hours on a simulator." "Good." "Didn't work out well." "All right, can we please go?" "One moment." "According to my driver's ed book, a side mirror is properly adjusted" "When a portion of the is driver's door handle" "Is visible in the lower right corner." "There's the handle." "Oh, no, too far." "Bringing it back." "Optimized." "Now, where is the switch" "To adjust the passenger side mirror?" "It's right there." "Where is the passenger side mirror?" "In a parking lot in Hollywood." "Now, can we please go?" "Yes." "As soon as I adjust my seat." "Whee!" "Oh, dear." "I'm going to have start again." "If I could speak the language of rabbits," "They would be amazed, and I would be their king." "I hate my name." "It has "nerd" in it." "Len-nerd." "I lost my virginity to my cousin Jeanie." "I would be kind to my rabbit subjects." "At first." "You know what's a cool name?" "Angelo." "That has angel and jell-o in it." "It was my Uncle Murray's funeral." "We were all back at my Aunt Barbara's house." "Our eyes locked over the pickled herring." "We never meant for it to happen." "One day, I hold a great ball for the President of France," "But the rabbits-- they hate me and don't come." "I am embarrassed, so I eat all the lettuce in the world" "And make them watch." "People could call me Angie." "(Ã  la Sylvester Stallone):" "Yo, angie, how's it goin'?" "To this day, I can't look at pickled herring without being arroused." "That is a shame." "oh!" "Cousin Jeanie." "(sighs)" "Could you please drive a little faster?" "Oh, I think we're going sufficiently fast." "(mechanical clunking)" "What's that?" "Nothing." "The engine does that sometimes." "It can't be nothing." "The check engine light is on." "We need to find a service station." "No." "The light has been on since I bought the car." "All the more reason" "To consult with a mechanic before it explodes." "It's not going to explode." "Just keep driving." "Warp speed ahead, Mr. Spock." "Mr. Spock did not pilot the Enterprise." "He was the science officer, and I guarantee you that" "If he ever saw the Enterprise's check engine light blinking," "He would pull the ship over immediately." "Oh, god, I'm gonna lose the arm." "Oh, oh, red light." "Release accelerator" "And slowly apply..." "the... brake." "Nailed it." "While we have a moment, may I ask you a question?" "What?" "Why do you have the Chinese character for soup" "Tattooed on your right buttock?" "It's not soup." "It's courage." "No, it isn't." "But I suppose it does take courage" "To demonstrate that kind of commitment to soup." "How did you see it?" "You said you wouldn't look." "Sorry." "As I told you, the hero always peeks." "Anything?" "No." "That was the last pudding cup." "No!" "What about Slim Jims?" "That's what he used to eat his pudding, remember?" "Right!" "That was so good!" "Sweety and meaty at the same time." "Wait." "Wait, wait." "So you're saying" "We're out of food?" "The only thing in here are blue ice packs." "I know they're poison," "But they look like big, yummy otter pops." "Oh, god, I am so hungry." "Me, too." "Check and see if we have any more pudding." "All right, there's no need to bark at me." "According to the inexplicably irritable nurse behind the desk," "You'll be seen after the man who claims to be having a heart attack," "But appears to be well enough" "To play Doodle Jump on his iphone."

"Could you please just take a break from being you and try being" "I don't know-- comforting?" "I'm sorry." "There, there." "Everything's going to be fine." "Sheldon's here." "Thanks." "That's much better." "Oh, I'm so hungry!" "Will you shut up?" "We're all hungry." "Okay, our objective is" "The boy scout campsite to the east." "Easy target." "Big doughy scout master, couple of cubs, most webelos." "What kind of score we looking at?" "Hot dogs, buns, s'mores." "I mean, it's a freaking 7-11."

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Now remember, you were given powerful pain medication" "And a muscle relaxer," "So, uh, don't operate heavy machinery." "Try not to choke on your own drool." "Wait." "You have" "To help me get into bed." "(laughs)" "Sheldon has to get me into bed." "Bet you never thought I'd say that." "Yes." "The charm of your drug addled candor knows no bounds." "You know, people think you're this weird robot man" "Who's so annoying all the time, and you totally are." "But then it's like that movie Wall-e at the end." "You're so full of love," "And you can save a plant" "And get fat people out of the floaty chairs." "That's a fairly labored metaphor, but I apprecte the sentiment behind it." "Sing "Soft Kitty" to me." ""Soft Kitty" is for when you're sick." "You're not sick." "Injured and drugged is a kind of sick." "âª soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur... âª" "Wait, wait."
