看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語第一季第十四集

【劇情介紹】

時光機終于搬回來了, 大家又開始糾結(jié)時光機的歸屬問題, 然后又討論想去哪個時間, 其實想去什么時間還不都去不了,自娛自樂也不錯.

HOWARD: You can't just keep it here. What if I meet a girl and say:” You wanna come up and see my time machine? It's at my friend's house." How lame is that?

RAJ:He’s got a point.

SHELDON: All right. I think we're going to need some ground rules. In addition to the expected “No shoes in the time machine." and "No eating in the time machine." I propose that we add:" Pants must be worn at all times in the time machine."

LEONARD: Seconded.

HOWARD: I was gonna put down a towel.

RAJ: I still want it on my balcony. I say we move it on a bimonthly basis.

LEONARD: That sounds fair.

SHELDON: Hold on. Bimonthly is an ambiguous term. Do you mean move it every other month or twice a month?

RAJ:Twice a month.

SHELDON: Then no.

RAJ:Okay, every other month.

SHELDON: No.

LEONARD: Sheldon, you can't be selfish. We all paid for it, so it belongs to all of us. Now get out of the way so I can sit in my time machine. Okay. I am setting the dials for March 10th, 1876.

HOWARD: Good choice. Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone and calls out for Doctor Watson.

SHELDON: Wait a minute. I wanna see that too.

LEONARD: so when it's your turn, you can.

SHELDON: But if we all go back to the same point of time, Bell's lab's going to get very crowded. He'll know something's up.

RAJ:Since the time machine doesn't move in space. You’ll end up in 1876 Pasadena.
