看生活大爆炸学英语第一季第十集

【剧情介绍】

Sheldon的谎言越说越当真了,还真请了个业余演员, Leonard对此很是无语啊. 这个临时演员让我想起<>里面的Barney.

SHELDON: I've hesitated to point this out but I must remind you we are in our predicament because of your initial and inadequate deceit. I'm just trying to clean up after your mess. We'll talk in the morning.

TOBY: Morning.

LEONARD:Who are you?

TOBY: I am Sheldon's cousin Leo.

LEONARD:Oh, God. Sheldon does not have a cousin Leo.

TOBY: Au contraire, I'm 26 years old. I'm originally from "Denton, Texas," but I was a Navy brat. I was brought up on a variety of military bases around the world. As a result, I've often felt like an outsider, never really fitting in probably the reason for my substance-abuse problem.

SHELDON: Excuse me, we just went over this. As the middle child, your addiction is rooted in your unmet need for attention.

TOBY: Oh, Sheldon, are we really gonna go with pop psychology?

SHELDON: For your information, this is all based on solid research. Just stick with the character profile I wrote for you.
