00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,576
<i>Previously on</i> The Big Bang Theory...

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,798
Actually, I need to talk
to both of you about your paper.

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,678
Oh, right, how are the citations coming?

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,760
Um...

5
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:14,320
We came across a Russian paper
that seems to disprove super-asymmetry.

7
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,231
Okay, Sheldon and Amy
are still pretty upset

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,913
about their theory being disproved.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,755
So we have made a list of subjects
for everyone to avoid.

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,593
- Symmetry.
- Asymmetry.

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,836
Oh, <i>SimCity.</i>

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,320
Sounds too much like symmetry.

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,198
That also applies

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,237
to <i>The Simpsons,</i>
Simba from <i>The Lion King,</i>

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,436
and cymbals.

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,560
Mmm-hmm.

17
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,473
Russia or Russian in any context.

18
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,552
The country, the dressing, the roulette.

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,429
Uh, also no talk of <i>Rocky IV.</i>

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,159
Why <i>Rocky IV?</i>

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,919
Because he fights a Russian.

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,673
I'm sorry about her.

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,256
We should just try and avoid
anything that makes them think

24
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,192
of their project or science

25
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,114
or Nobel Prizes
or successes or failures.

26
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,276
Hi!

27
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,794
Hey, guys.

28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,354
What are you guys doing?

29
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,678
Nothing.

30
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,680
Nothing?

31
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,320
Like what my career
has come to? Thanks a lot.

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,629
Nice going.

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,917
<i>Our whole universe
was in a hot dense state</i>

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,198
<i>Then nearly fourteen billion years ago
expansion started...</i>

35
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,198
<i>Wait!</i>

36
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,118
<i>The earth began to cool</i>

37
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,474
<i>The autotrophs began to drool</i>

38
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,835
<i>Neanderthals developed tools</i>

39
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,832
<i>We built a wall
We built the pyramids</i>

40
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,754
<i>Math, science, history
Unraveling the mystery</i>

41
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,832
<i>It all started with the Big Bang!</i>

42
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,920
<i>Bang!</i>

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,633
What are you doing?

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Eating, reading,

45
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,456
watching television,
listening to the radio.

46
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,800
What does it look like I'm doing?

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,434
Is that asparagus?
I thought you hate asparagus.

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,637
I thought so, too, but I also
thought super-asymmetry

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,712
was a good idea,
so what else am I wrong about?

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,596
Oh, so now you're reevaluating
every opinion you've ever had?

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,952
Yes. I am following the example

52
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,197
of 17th century philosopher
René Descartes.

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,714
He subjected all his beliefs

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,315
to radical doubt so that he
could build a bedrock belief

55
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,552
and build his cognitive life
back up on firm principles.

56
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,038
Oh! Still yucky.

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,035
Sheldon, I know you're upset
about the paper, okay?

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,236
I'm upset, too.

59
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,152
I mean, I was so sure we were right.

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,391
Every fiber of my being
felt like this was it.

61
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,479
This was the one.
How can I trust my instincts anymore?

62
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,279
Well, just because our theory was wrong,

63
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,551
that doesn't mean you're wrong
about everything.

64
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,678
Doesn't it? I've always thought
I hated jazz, maybe I was wrong.

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,638
Maybe it's great to hear
all the notes at once.

66
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,836
I'm trying, I'm really trying!

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,072
- What you eating?
- Chicken fried steak.

68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,279
What? You can't have chicken fried steak
first thing in the morning.

69
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,159
Hey, you knew I was a bad boy
when you married me.

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Come on, you want a piece of this?

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,235
You or the steak?

72
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Me. I'm not sharing the steak.

73
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,516
Hey, you guys busy?

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,795
No, what's goin' on?

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,520
I'm really worried about Sheldon.

76
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,432
I've never seen him this down.

77
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,398
Have you tried making him a cup of tea?

78
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,878
He's reevaluated tea.

79
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,673
Now he thinks it's nothing
but leaf soup.

80
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,758
That's a good point.

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,479
- No, it's not.
- No, it's not.

82
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,389
He's rethinking everything.

83
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,678
How long is it gonna be
before he gets to me?

84
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Oh.

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,280
It's that bad, huh?

86
00:03:56,281 --> 00:03:58,875
I'm afraid so. I just...
I don't know what to do.

87
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,591
I have something that might help.

88
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,871
It's a recording of the only person
whose opinion Sheldon actually respects.

89
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,318
Hawking?

90
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,549
Feynman?

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,120
No, himself.

92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,276
It's a pep talk he made
when he was a kid.

93
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,915
He gave it to me years ago
and told me to save it

94
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,514
for a real emergency.

95
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,360
What? You didn't break it out

96
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,397
when he declared his room
a sovereign nation

97
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,676
and waged a trade war against us?

98
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,352
His major export is talking.
I didn't want that anyway.

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,630
Is that a VCR?

100
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,951
Yeah, Amy asked if we
had one she could borrow,

101
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,111
and I just wanna make sure
it still works.

102
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,874
What's on the tape?

103
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,634
Not sure. I used to record
a lot of <i>Jeopardy!</i> for my mom,

104
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,696
but if I push play
and you see some naked people...

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,394
Got it. What is porn?

106
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,989
Ooh, we were looking
for "vintage '80s erotica,"

107
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,480
but I'll accept it.

108
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,830
<i>Hello, everybody.</i>

109
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,440
<i>I am The Great Howdini.</i>

110
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,120
Put it back on. You look adorable.

111
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,759
It's just a practice tape

112
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,992
from when I was trying to become
a member of the Magic Castle.

113
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,912
I didn't know you auditioned there.

114
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,559
Oh, I never went through with it.

115
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,314
I watched the tape and realized
I wasn't good enough.

116
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,518
You know that trick where
you saw a mannequin in half?

117
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,354
- Don't you mean a lady?
- Thank God it was not a lady.

118
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,238
I'd just be getting out of jail.

119
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,079
Come on, you're a good magician.

120
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,438
Really? You always called magic dumb.

121
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,239
You can be good at something dumb.

122
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,076
- You know what, you should audition now.
- It's fine.

123
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,676
I don't need to be a member
of the most elite magical society

124
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,989
on the face of the earth.

125
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,719
Sounds like you still want it.

126
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,118
And I don't want our kids

127
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,680
to see this tape one day
and think their dad is a quitter.

128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,037
Oh, we don't have to show it to them.

129
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,998
Oh, I'm definitely showing it to them.

130
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,600
Hey.

131
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,110
Hello.

132
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,912
"Fine with flags"?

133
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,117
Yes, flags...

134
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,677
Up there flapping around on poles.

135
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,296
If you think about it,
they're just the strippers

136
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,720
of the emblem world.

137
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,196
Well, I got something
that I think might cheer you up.

138
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,597
It is the emergency pep talk
you made when you were a kid.

139
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Oh, that.

140
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,836
I was saving it for the day they
stop making <i>Star Wars</i> movies.

141
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,392
But I don't think
that's ever gonna happen.

142
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,510
How long has it been
since you've seen it?

143
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,398
Not since the day I recorded it.

144
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,676
No, I had just watched
<i>Back to the Future Il,</i>

145
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,315
where Marty McFly gets a glimpse
of his future self,

146
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,834
and that got me thinking,

147
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,310
the day may come where I needed my help,

148
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,437
like they did with that movie.
That was not great.

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,911
Okay, all hooked up.

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,480
Here we go.

151
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,916
Oh, look how cute you were.

152
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,240
Amy, please, of course I was cute.
Look how I turned out.

153
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,153
<i>Hello, Sheldon.</i>

154
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,754
Hello, Sheldon.

155
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,160
<i>If you're watching this,</i>

156
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,870
<i>I assume something bad has happened.</i>

157
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,600
<i>Something unfortunate and unforeseen.</i>

158
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,673
<i>Something that's making you
question everything.</i>

159
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,078
I'm so smart.

160
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,869
<i>Now just to make sure
it's really you watching this</i>

161
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,510
<i>and not an imposter,
what am I thinking of?</i>

162
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,994
<i>On the count of three.</i>

163
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,749
<i>One, two, three.</i>

164
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,718
- Robot monkey butler.
<i>- Robot monkey butler.</i>

165
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,789
<i>Okay, good.</i>

166
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,554
Should I leave you two alone?

167
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,072
No, this is gonna be inspiring.
You should watch.

168
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,800
<i>Sheldon, never forget,</i>

169
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,031
<i>no matter how bad things seem,</i>

170
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,480
<i>you can...</i>

171
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,754
What? What... No.

172
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,235
My dad taped over it

173
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,835
with one of his stupid
high school football games.

174
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,036
Sorry.

175
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,634
It doesn't matter, nothing matters.

176
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,632
Is there anything I can do?

177
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,991
Yes. You can build me a time machine

178
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,197
so I can go back and tell my
younger self to give up,

179
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,240
because nothing's gonna work out
the way he wants.

180
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,672
I was thinkin' a nice cup of leaf soup.

181
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,355
What's all this?

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,432
Your magic tricks from the garage.

183
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,150
Your wands, your top hat
with the stuffed mouse inside.

184
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,879
I never had a stuffed mouse.

185
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Okay, do not wear this hat.

186
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,550
Why is it all in the living room?

187
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,438
Because I think The Great Howdini

188
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,876
deserves to be a member
of the Magic Castle.

189
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,192
That's sweet,
but I'm not that guy anymore.

190
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,272
I've outgrown it.

191
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,150
Have you?

192
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,599
Look, I know you still want this,
and I can help you.

193
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,512
All those pageants I did as a kid...

194
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,512
I could teach you
how to present yourself,

195
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,717
connect with the judges,
sabotage the competition.

196
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,951
Whoa, whoa, no one's sabotaging anybody.

197
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,315
Of course not.

198
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,676
Little girls in ball gowns trip,
it happens.

199
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,914
Trust me, I'm gonna be
the pageant mom to you

200
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,360
that my mom was to me.

201
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,591
I thought you hated your mom
for making you do that.

202
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,800
More talk like that
and you're not getting any dinner.

203
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,032
Amazing how it all comes back.

204
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,790
<i>Yes?</i>

205
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,236
- Hello, Mother.
- Hey, Beverly.

206
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,118
<i>Hello, Leonard. Hello, Penny.</i>

207
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,157
<i>To what do I owe this call?</i>

208
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,720
I need your professional advice.

209
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,191
<i>Well, I'd love to help you out, dear,
but I'm very busy at the moment.</i>

210
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,516
<i>Perhaps we can schedule
a time next week.</i>

211
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,600
It's about Sheldon.

212
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,957
<i>Oh, well, I suppose
I can spare a minute or two.</i>

213
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,714
Why did you just say
you're too busy, but...

214
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,077
<i>Leonard, please,
not everything is about you.</i>

215
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,396
<i>Penny, go on.</i>

216
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,075
Well, ever since his
paper got disproven,

217
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,160
he's been a wreck.

218
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,991
He's been sad and angry.

219
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,037
He just seems kind of broken.

220
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,237
<i>Well, it sounds like he may be grieving.</i>

221
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,238
Really?

222
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,416
- Over a theory?
<i>- Of course.</i>

223
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,716
<i>You can grieve over any emotional loss.</i>

224
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,510
<i>The more you care about something,
the greater the trauma of losing it.</i>

225
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,512
Oh, boy. He cared about this a lot.

226
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,671
Yeah. What can we do to help him?

227
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,877
<i>Well, grieving is a process.</i>

228
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,873
<i>Every culture has its own
rituals and traditions</i>

229
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,872
<i>to facilitate mourning.</i>

230
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,873
<i>The ancient Egyptians
had their mummification,</i>

231
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,395
<i>the Tibetans had their sky funerals...</i>

232
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,120
And when I was little and my dog died,
my mom sat me down

233
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,237
and very gently told me
that she wished the truck

234
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,959
had hit my dad instead.

235
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,239
<i>I was trying to lighten the mood.</i>

236
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,913
<i>Your dog had just died.</i>

237
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,800
Howard and I have been working
really hard on his audition,

238
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,031
so it'll be helpful to get
another set of eyes on it.

239
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,998
Well, as someone who has
watched every episode

240
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,150
of <i>America's Got Talent,</i>

241
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,551
I'm getting pretty good at telling
when some American's got talent.

242
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,200
Seriously,

243
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,630
Heidi and I agree,
like, 90% of the time.

244
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,440
All right.

245
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,916
Don't be afraid to be brutally honest.

246
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,196
Like my mom used to say
when I was doing pageants,

247
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,239
"Tears only make your eyes
sparkle brighter."

248
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,596
That is both sad and true.

249
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,036
Half my Instagram is after a good cry.

250
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,434
Howie, you ready?

251
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,036
Yeah.

252
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,517
I now present The Great Howdini.

253
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,353
<i>I've got magic to do, just for you</i>

254
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,235
<i>I've got miracle plays to play</i>

255
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,071
<i>I've got parts to perform,
hearts to warm</i>

256
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,232
<i>Kings and things to take by storm</i>

257
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:11,438
<i>As we go along our way</i>

258
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,393
Hello. I'm The Great Howdini
from Altadena, California.

259
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,312
I have no brothers or sisters,

260
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,156
and my favorite thing to eat
is grilled cheese.

261
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,560
When does the magic start?

262
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,040
It already started.

263
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:36,478
Hey.

264
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,358
Hi. How are you guys doing?

265
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,238
A little better, if you can believe it.

266
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,878
Sheldon?

267
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,996
Go away.

268
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,152
Buddy, come on, let us help you.

269
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,152
The only person
who could help me was erased

270
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,152
by the Medford High Wolves.

271
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,960
Oh, that's funny.
My high school was also The Wolves.

272
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,236
No? Not now? Okay.

273
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,074
Look, this might seem strange,

274
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,576
but we thought it might help you get
some closure if you had a chance

275
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,398
to properly say goodbye to your paper.

276
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,914
Yeah, we could say a few words,

277
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,576
you could talk about
what it meant to you,

278
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,592
and we could bury it somewhere.

279
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,036
You mean, have a funeral for our theory?

280
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,120
Yeah.

281
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,160
That's ridiculous.

282
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,954
I thought so, too,
but my mom thought it might work.

283
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,271
Beverly thought it would help?
We should try it.

284
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,216
How come when you thought
it was my idea...

285
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,630
Leonard, please, this is not about you.

286
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,759
I guess we could bury it in the park.

287
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,674
Where dogs do their business
and other dogs sniff that business?

288
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,760
I don't think so.

289
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,080
What would you like to do, Sheldon?

290
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
The only fitting send-off:

291
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,429
a Viking funeral.

292
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,957
You mean, like, push it out into a lake
and shoot it with a flaming arrow?

293
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,235
This guy gets it.

294
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,839
How about a bathtub and a match?

295
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,151
How about a bathtub and a flaming arrow?

296
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,992
How about a bathtub,
a match and an ice-cold Yoo-hoo after?

297
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Sold.

298
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,190
Would you like to say something?

299
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,795
Yes, thank you.

300
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,154
I know this is just a scientific theory,

301
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,118
but to me, it was more than that.

302
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,671
It described the universe
in a new and beautiful way.

303
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,160
I want that to be
the universe we live in,

304
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,875
but I guess it's not.

305
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,234
Amy, would you like to shoot the arrow?

306
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,557
It's kind of beautiful, isn't it?

307
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,073
Yeah, it is.

308
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,232
It's getting kind of close
to the curtain.

309
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,436
It's in water, it's fine.

310
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,556
Oh.

311
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,189
Looks like we both had theories
that were wrong.

312
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,440
Are you getting sick?

313
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,830
No, I have glitter in my nose.

314
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Just your nose?

315
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,319
Consider yourself lucky.

316
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,792
Hey, I'm gonna take tomorrow off

317
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,837
so we can spend the whole day
running the act.

318
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,429
You know what, it has been
so much fun working on this

319
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,715
- with you, but...
- But what?

320
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,234
It hasn't.

321
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,080
I'm not gonna audition.

322
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,318
Hey, I didn't raise a quitter.

323
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,914
You didn't raise me at all.

324
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,999
Look, I get that you're scared,
but we just have to push past that.

325
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,231
I'm not scared. I don't like the act.

326
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,595
It's over-the-top

327
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,560
and weird and has more
jazz hands than magic.

328
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,576
Why didn't you say something earlier?

329
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,990
You seemed like you were so happy,

330
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,313
and then when I tried to say something,
you seemed like you were so mad.

331
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,274
Hey, this isn't about me.

332
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,558
I just wanted you to have your dream,
and I wanted to control everything

333
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,599
about how you looked and acted
so that your victory was mine.

334
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,720
Well, that's honest.

335
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,552
But if I'm gonna go through with this,
I have to do it my own way.

336
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,509
I respect that,

337
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,576
and I'm glad that I helped
lead you to this moment.

338
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,159
Stop trying to make this your victory!

339
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,715
Why are you watching that?

340
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,793
I'm just looking to see
if there's anything left of your speech.

341
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,551
It's not important.
I remember everything I said.

342
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,600
And?

343
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,231
It was good, it just would've
meant more coming from me.

344
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,717
<i>All right, bring it in.</i>

345
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,870
Is that your dad?

346
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,235
It is.

347
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,991
I've only seen pictures of him.

348
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,954
<i>I know we're down, by a lot.</i>

349
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,313
<i>But if I'm bein' honest with you,
we're probably not gonna win this one.</i>

350
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,150
<i>In fact, we're definitely not
gonna win this one.</i>

351
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,715
Do you want me to turn it off?

352
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,056
<i>But we're not gonna quit, either.</i>

353
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,400
<i>And if we do lose,</i>

354
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,439
<i>you need to know
that doesn't make you losers.</i>

355
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,516
<i>You learn as much about who you
are and what you're made of</i>

356
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,035
<i>from failin' as you do from success.</i>

357
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,834
<i>Maybe more.</i>

358
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,592
<i>So you can spend the next half
feelin' sorry for yourselves,</i>

359
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,240
<i>or you can get out there
and give 'em hell.</i>

360
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,993
<i>Yeah! Let's give them hell!</i>

361
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,319
<i>Watch your mouth, your mom might...</i>

362
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,470
I remember that game.

363
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Did they win?

364
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,910
Oh, no.

365
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,480
No, they lost so bad, the other team

366
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,995
let one of their cheerleaders
try to kick a field goal.

367
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,111
Well, that was a nice speech.
Too bad it didn't work.

368
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,390
Maybe it did.

369
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,760
What do you mean?

370
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,360
I've been acting like the game is over,
but it's only half-time.

371
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,077
And there's a lot more physics
left to play.

372
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,520
Wow! Was that your first ever
sports metaphor?

373
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,354
It was.

374
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,597
And I think it was a home run.

375
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,080
That's two.

376
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,673
It's interesting.

377
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,079
I've always thought that
my father's journey and my own

378
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,440
were so different,
but he also faced failure and setbacks.

379
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,639
Maybe our lives mirrored each
other more than I thought.

380
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,394
So, from one viewpoint,

381
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,880
you and your father's lives
are asymmetrical,

382
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,514
but from another vantage point,
they're symmetrical.

383
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,715
Sheldon,

384
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,155
what if symmetry and asymmetry
are observer-relative?

385
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,358
That would mean that
the Russian paper was right...

386
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,636
But only from one perspective.

387
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,233
If we look at it from a deeper
view in more dimensions,

388
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,152
our theory still stands.

389
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,631
Not only stands,
it might be an even bigger idea

390
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,871
than the one we were
originally proposing.

391
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,997
Go get your laptop.
We have a paper to fix.

392
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,596
Okay.

393
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,320
Thanks, Dad.

394
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,120
We're gonna give them hell.

395
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,272
Hi, I'm The Great Howdini,

396
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,591
and it's an honor to be
auditioning at the Magic Castle.

397
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,070
Could I borrow your watch, sir?

398
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,038
- Sure.
- Thank you.

399
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,557
Ooh. Rolex, fancy.
I'll get it right back to you.

400
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,953
Observe. One very expensive watch,

401
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,794
one wooden mallet.

402
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,836
Do I dare? I do.

403
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,915
Would you be amazed if your
watch survived that pounding?

404
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,912
I think you would... Behold!

405
