看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語第二季第九集

【劇情介紹】

Sheldon走投無路,向Raj和Howard求助如何幫助Leonard和Stephanie走到最后.而Raj和Howard表現(xiàn)得相當(dāng)消極,回顧了Leonard的感情經(jīng)歷,推測(cè)這段戀情只能持續(xù)20分鐘.

SHELDON: Gentlemen,I have a question about dating and relationships.

RAJ: You told me you were going to have the talk with him.

HOWARD: I've been waiting for someone to have the talk with me.

SHELDON: More to the point, it's about finding a way to keep Leonard and Stephanie together.

HOWARD: Oh,I don't think you can.

SHELDON: Well, why not?

HOWARD: Look at Leonard's record. 27 days with Joyce Kim.

RAJ: During which she defected to North Korea.

HOWARD: Two booty calls with Leslie Winkle.

RAJ: For which she awarded him the nickname Speed of Light Leonard.

HOWARD: And the three hour dinner with Penny.

RAJ: Which would have been two and a half if they ordered the souffle when they sat down.

HOWARD: Based on the geometric progression, his relationship with Stephanie should have ended after 20 minutes.

SHELDON: Yes,I'm aware of the math. Y equals 27 days over 12 to the nth.The issue remains. How do we circumvent his inevitable rejection?

RAJ: Well,if you want to guarantee his appeal to Stephanie, your best bet would be to kill all the other men on the planet.

HOWARD: I'll tell you what you shouldn't do. Don't spritz him with that body spray from the commercial where the women undress when they smell it.That doesn't work at all. No matter how much you put on.

SHELDON: So,that's all you've got? Apocalyptic genocide and "go easy on the cologne"?

RAJ: Yeah.

HOWARD: Yes.
