看生活大爆炸学英语第一季第一集(2)


【剧情介绍】
Leonard帮Penny去前任男友家搬回电视, Sheldon一直劝Leonard别去。Sheldon是对的,最后他们不但没拿回电视, 反而惨遭"羞辱"...

LEONARD:We're not gonna give up just like that.

SHELDON: Leonard, the TV's in the building. We've been denied access to the building, ergo we are done.

LEONARD:Excuse me. If I were to give up at the first little hitch, I never would be able to have identified the fingerprints of string theory in the aftermath of the big bang.

SHELDON:  My apologies. What's your plan?

LEONARD:It's just a privilege to watch your mind at work.

SHELDON: Come on, we have a combined lQ of 360.We should be able to figure out how to get into a stupid building.
