看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語第一季第十五集

【劇情介紹】

Leonard把Sheldon拉到一邊,慫恿Sheldon干涉Missy的婚姻大事,而自己想坐收漁翁之利.

SHELDON:?Hm.She certainly has the symmetry and low body fat that Western culture deems desirable.It's noteworthy that at other points in history heavier women were the standard for beauty because girth suggested affluence.

LEONARD: That's fascinating

SHELDON: I didn't say fascinating.I said it was noteworthy.

LEONARD: All right. Noted. But my point is that Koothrappali and Wolowitz....They're hitting on your sister. Ugh. It's....

SHELDON: Oh. Okay. You know, I don't want to criticize your rhetorical style but we'd be further along in this conversation if you'd begun with that thought.

LEONARD: That's great, but--

SHELDON: what I'm saying is?We took quite unnecessary detour from what I now understand to be your thesis.

LEONARD: Whatever.You have to do something about it.

SHELDON: Why?

LEONARD: Because she's your sister.

SHELDON: I don't understand.Yes, we shared a uterus for nine months. But since then, we've pretty much gone our own separate ways.

LEONARD: Okay, consider this. With your father gone, it is your responsibility to make sure that Missy chooses a suitable mate.

SHELDON: I hadn't considered that.We do share DNA.So there is the possibility, however remote that resting in her loins is the potential for another individual as remarkable as myself.

LEONARD: Exactly. And you owe it to yourself and ?posterity to protect the genetic integrity of your sister's future offspring.

SHELDON: You're right. If someone wants to get at Missy's fallopian tubes they'll have to go through me.
