【劇情介紹】

Sheldon媽媽回憶Sheldon小時候的種種趣事,無意提起Leonard和Penny很配, Leonard和Penny尷尬地否認.

MARY: Anyway, when he went on the internet to get some, a man from the government came by and sat him down real gentle and told him it's against the law to have yellow cake uranium in a shed.

Penny: Well, what happened?

MARY: Well, poor boy had a fit, locked himself in his room and built a sonic death ray.

LEONARD:A death ray?

MARY: Well, that's what he called it. it didn't even slow down the neighbor kids. Heh.

It pissed our dog off to no end.

MARY: You know, you two make a cute couple.

LEONARD: I-- No, no. No, we're not a couple. We're singles. Two singles. Like those individually wrapped slices of cheese or we are friends.

MARY: Did I pluck a nerve there?

HOWARD: Oh, yeah.

MARY: Okay. All right, everybody, it's time to eat. Oh, Lord, we thank you for this meal and for all your bounty. And we pray that you help Sheldon get back on his rocker.

MARY: Now, after a moment of silent meditation, I'm gonna end with "in Jesus' name". but you two don't feel any obligation to join in.Unless, of course, the Holy Spirit moves you.
