看生活大爆炸学英语第二季第十二集

【剧情介绍】

Monte被Kripke的机器人砍成碎片,Howard看到后也大为惊讶,而大家似乎对他肿着的眼睛更为关注(摔成这样估计也需要技术技术吧.)Sheldon提议要为Monte举行一个悼念仪式,Penny的一句不就是个机器人吗把Sheldon给伤了,学物理的伤不起啊,有木有?! 有木有?!

LEONARD: Well,so much for making up for the emotional wounds of childhood.

SHELDON: I did this. Monte was killed by my hubris and my pride. No matter what anybody says,this is my fault.

RAJ: No one's arguing with you,dude.

HOWARD: I got your text. How bad is... Oy.

LEONARD: Forget the robot. What happened to you?

PENNY:He slipped and fell.

HOWARD: Yes,I slipped and fell. In the bathroom,bounced right off the tub.

PENNY: Yes,now he knows what bathtubs are capable of doing when you don't treat them with respect.

HOWARD: Yeah. They sucker punch you when your eyes are closed.

SHELDON: So what do you think,Howard? It's not that bad,right?

HOWARD: Oh,no. A little electrical tape,some solder... Are you insane? I've seen space probes that crashed into the desert that were in better shape than this.

SHELDON: You're right. Monte's gone. We'll bury him in the morning. A simple ceremony. I'll speak. Leonard,you'll play your cello.

PENNY:Sheldon,honey,aren't you getting a little carried away? I mean, it's just a toy robot.

SHELDON: Just a toy robot?

LEONARD: Penny.

PENNY:I know,I got it. Sheldon,I'm sorry.
