看生活大爆炸学英语第二季第二集

【剧情介绍】

Leonard正在为约会准备,而Sheldon却要打游戏, Leonard委婉地要Sheldon回避. Sheldon只好在楼梯间打游戏.

SHELDON: Great news. My mom sent me my old Nintendo 64.

LEONARD: Terrific.

SHELDON: You know what this means, don't you? Break out the Red Bull, it's time to rock Mario, old school.

LEONARD: I kind of have other plans tonight.

SHELDON: But it's Friday. Friday's always vintage game night. Look, Mom included the memory card. We can pick up right where I left off in 1999 when I had pernicious anemia.

LEONARD: Well, the thing is, someone's coming over.

SHELDON: Okay, no problem. I have three controllers. The more the merrier.

LEONARD: Sheldon, it's a date. I have a date coming over.

SHELDON: Well, you can't blame me for not jumping to that conclusion.

LEONARD: Why? What's so unusual about me having a date?

SHELDON: Well, statistically speaking...

LEONARD: All right, all right. Well, nevertheless, I have one now and I'd appreciate it if you would, you know, make yourself scarce. 

SHELDON: Leonard, I'm a published theoretical physicist with two doctorates and an IQ which can't be accurately measured by normal tests. How much scarcer could I be?

LEONARD: You know what I mean. Could you just give us a little privacy?

SHELDON: You want me to leave the apartment?

LEONARD: Yes.

SHELDON: You mean, just go someplace else and be...someplace else?

LEONARD: Yes.

SHELDON: Well, why should I leave? This is my apartment, too.

LEONARD: I know it is, and if science ever discovers a second member of your species and you two would like some privacy, I'd be more than happy to get out of your way.

SHELDON: Well, all right then.

PENNY: Sheldon, what are you doing?

SHELDON: Playing Super Mario on a poorly coded Nintendo 64 emulator.

PENNY: Yeah, but why are you doing it on the stairs?

SHELDON: I am a modern day Napoleon exiled to the Elba of the staircase because Leonard, get this, has a date.

PENNY:  Oh,well, good for him.
