I like your suit.

Oh, thanks.
Got a couple new outfits for work.

How's it feel knowing your fiancé's job is to
go out and flirt with doctors looking like that...

...while you sit here,
you know, looking like this?

- She doesn't flirt with doctors.
- Yeah. It's all very professional.

- When you bend over I can see down your shirt.
- Okay, good.

Speaking of new careers,
how are things going with dark matter?

Oh. Yeah. I'd have to say it's the most
exciting time in the history of the field.

Oh. What's going on?

I started doing it.

You know the government funded the biggest
experiment yet to detect dark matter?

I read about that. They're sending research
teams down into abandoned salt mines.

Look. Sheldon, if we apply
to be one of those teams...

...we could be on the ground floor
of something big.

Not just for theoretical physics,
but for astrophysics.

Hang on.

- You guys are gonna work in a mine?
- Why not?

You had a panic attack
when we went through the car wash.

Perhaps the emotion you're referring to
was shock at you having something cleaned.

I think what Penny meant is the thought
of you two in a mine is funny.

It's like a cat riding a Roomba.

If they get scared, they'll have hats with lights
because down there, it's night-night all the time.

Maybe they can ride around
in one of those mine cars that go:

[MIMICS SQUEAKING]

That'll help them get away
when they see a g-g-ghost.

[LAUGHS]

- Are they making fun of us?
- Yup.

I miss the old days when I couldn't tell.

So one of my favorite video games of
all time is called "Shadow of the Colossus."

It was only for PlayStation 2...

...but then they came out with a new version
for PS3 with better graphics.

I finally got a chance to play it, and for some
reason, it just wasn't as good as the first one.

Or something about yoga.

I'm sorry. I was thinking about work.

Oh, I was just saying
there's this video game...

Yeah. That's when I started
thinking about work.

Uh, listen. I've got some good news.

- This is for you.
- Oh.

- What is this?
- You know how they gave me the company car?

Didn't make sense to have
two, so I sold the other one.

- The one I gave you?
- Yeah.

And there's your money back.
Now we're even.

How great is that?

Uh, yeah.

What?

Nothing.

Oh. I know the car was a thoughtful gesture.
I really appreciate it.

- But it doesn't make sense to have both.
- You're right.

What should I have done?
Taken a picture of us in the car...

...put it in a pink frame with puffy paint
around it that says, "Best fiancé ever"?

Doesn't sound that bad.

Well, good, because that's what I did.

Oh, ha, ha.

Thank you. That is so sweet.

Ah, it's not that sweet. I paid for the frame
with your money and then got a massage.

You know what, you don't have to
give me this. You keep it.

- Why?
- The car was a gift.

Something you needed.
I was happy to help you.

And I really appreciate it,
but now I don't need it. So here you go.

This is silly. You don't need the car,
but you could buy something else...

...like a new purse to put all this money in.

Sweetie, I can buy my own stuff.
I have a good job now.

I know, and I'm proud of you, but that doesn't
mean I can't do something nice. Like this.

I don't want this to be a fight.

- I don't either.
- Great. Thank you.

- Can you pass the salt, please?
- Sure.

In my mind, that broke the tension
with comedy and led to sex.

Hey, Sheldon. You busy?

I'm always busy.

This mind is capable
of advanced multi-tasking.

Currently, I'm attempting to solve
the Penrose conjecture.

I'm composing my Nobel acceptance speech
for when I've solved the Penrose conjecture.

And I'm wondering
how mermaids have babies.

Don't they lay eggs on a rock?

Now I've got room for another thing.
What do you want?

So I did a little research on
what the conditions are like in the mines.

The guys might be right.
Sounds rough down there.

For starters, it's very humid
and about a hundred degrees.

Well, I'm from Texas, and you're from India.

We're no strangers
to the fragrant armpit. Next.

It's also a live mine so there'll be
dynamite explosions going off in the distance.

Yeah. I have a lactose-intolerant
roommate with a taste for ice cream. Next.

Oh, you have to be down there
for 12 hours at a time.

We have to be somewhere.

No toilet, so we'll have to do our business
in a bucket.

So it's settled. We're not doing it.

Look. I get it, but...

...before we pass up
on an incredible opportunity...

...I was thinking about when Howard
was training to go into space...

- ...they put him in a simulated environment.
- Interesting.

You're suggesting that we recreate the
conditions of the mine to see if we can handle it.

- Exactly.
- Very well.

- So where should we do it?
- Well, I'll just Google...

..."hot, dark and moist."
See what comes up.

- Uh, Sheldon...
- Look. There's all kinds of videos.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Hey, you got a sec?
- Hi. Sure.

- I was hoping we could talk about the money.
- Oh, sweetie. Just forget about it.

No. Hear me out.
I know things got weird last night.

Well, leaving an envelope full of cash on my
dresser after sex would count as weird.

Well, I think I came up
with a pretty good solution.

Why don't we put the money
in a joint account?

It'll be our first money together.
We can use it for the wedding, the honeymoon.

Yeah. That's great. I love that.

Of course you do.
I'm not just a genius in bed.

[IN HIGH PITCH VOICE]
"You sure are, baby."

You two wanna be alone?

I want you to know I get why
you don't want the money.

The new job. You're excited
about being financially independent.

I am nothing but proud of you.

Oh, thank you so much.
It feels so good to hear you say that.

I want you to know that I get this job
changes the balance in our relationship.

And I'm trying to be sensitive to that.

What?

Well, I just think that you're hung up on the
money because I'm less reliant on you now...

...and that's a little scary.

Hmm.

Maybe.

Or maybe I tried to do something nice...

...and maybe you had a problem with it
because of your control issues.

"Control issues."

Maybe.

Or maybe...

...now that I'm no longer an out-of-work actress
who can't pay for her own dinner...

...that makes you a little insecure.

I can't believe you'd say that. You know
how insecure I am about my insecurities.

You know what, I'm sorry.
It's stupid to fight over money.

I'm sorry too. We're about to share
the rest of our lives together.

It's our money. Who cares who has it?

Ugh. You're right. Who cares?

Get that money out of my back pocket,
or I'll break your fingers.

Huh. I never knew there were
steam tunnels down here.

Most universities have them.

When I was an undergrad,
I spent three days in one pledging a sorority.

- Did you get in?
- No. They forgot I was there...

...but it really opened up my pores.

According to my research...

...the steam tunnels below this access point
should be the closest analog to the mines.

It'll be more accurate
than the steam room at the gym.

Plus there's almost no chance
we'll see any of our co-workers half-naked.

Or totally naked.

I love Howard,
but the dude needs a little shame.

Amy, this walkie-talkie is yours.

If we run into any problems, I'll contact you.

If anything bad happens, what's the rule?

Save you first,
come back for Raj only if there's time.

We're going to be fine.

[SHELDON EXHALES SHARPLY]

Sheldon, I'm really impressed
you're willing to try this.

Admittedly, this brushes up against
my well-known aversions to heat...

...small places, going below floor level,
dampness, hatches, ladders, darkness, echoes...

...and eliminating in Home Depot buckets.

That last one is quite new, but I have a feeling
that's gonna rocket to the top of the list.

RAJ:
I'm sweating already.

As the person beneath you,
allow me to say, "I know."

- How hot is it?
- Let's see.

Seven-hundred and four...?
No. Wait. it's on "clock."

Uh, the real answer isn't much better,
102 degrees.

That's what we wanted.
This is as hot as the mines will be.

True.

Sheldon's mine-simulation log. Entry one.

Koothrappali's restating of the obvious
is already getting on my nerves.

- Thanks again for having us.
- Of course.

What did you wanna talk about?

Now that we're engaged, we had questions
about how you handle money as a couple.

I told you they weren't gonna
ask us to swing with them.

I didn't think they were going to.

I just wanted to have a way to say no
without hurting Leonard's feelings.

Well, nailed it.

What did you wanna know?

Well, do you guys ever fight over money?

Sure. Sometimes.

It can be a little awkward since
I make so much more money than Howie.

You didn't have to say, "So much more."
Heh.

I didn't have to, but for the sake of accuracy,
I felt that I should.

I brought significant assets
into the relationship too.

Like what? Your incomplete set
of Star Trek collector plates?

For your information,
I just bought the last one I needed on eBay.

Without asking me?

There were only three minutes
left in the auction.

It was a mint-condition
"Scotty" from a smoke-free home.

- How much, Howie?
- Not a lot.

How much?

Let's not talk about this
in front of our friends.

Was it more or less than falconry school?

For the 10th time, that was a Groupon.

Like I would swing with him.

How you feeling?

Good.

A little claustrophobic.

Let's set up the equipment.
It'll help take your mind off of it.

Miners often sing mining songs
to keep their spirits up.

- Do you know any mining songs?
- Just the hits.

[SINGING] Where it's dark as a dungeon
And as damp as the dew

That's pretty.

Where the dangers are double
And the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls
And the sun never shines

Yes, it's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mines

It's a little more bleak than I thought.

Well, I pray when I'm dead
And the ages shall roll

That my body will blacken
And turn into coal

We're getting kind of grim.

Then I'll look from the door
Of my heavenly home

And pity the miner
That mines my poor bones

Okay. How about a little Miley Cyrus next?

Who's he?

Talk about wasted money,
what about the late fees on our credit card...

- ...because somebody didn't pay on time?
- I would've paid it...

...if I wasn't doing everything else
around here.

You're saying
I don't do anything around here?

Look at my chore chart.

- She made him a chore...
- I see it.

"Do the dishes."
There's a star right there.

That was a pity star.
Putting water in the roasting pan...

...and leaving it in the sink
is not doing the dishes.

That pan had to soak, and you know it.

Don't come crying to me
when you don't get your allowance.

It's not an allowance. It's a stipend.

And we said we weren't gonna
call it an allowance in front of my friends.

[DOOR SLAMS]

I usually don't like lemon bars,
but these are really good.

So as Hannah Montana...

...Miley was a world-famous pop star.

She would take off her wig
and go to school like a normal girl.

Which, I don't have to tell you,
at that age, is its own headache.

That's preposterous. How would she go
unrecognized just by wearing a wig?

But you're okay with Superman
concealing his identity with glasses?

He doesn't just put on a pair of glasses.

He combs back his curlicue
and affects a mild-mannered personality.

AMY:
You guys doing okay down there?

I told you to use the walkie-talkie.

AMY [OVER RADIO]:
You guys doing okay down there?

Please keep this channel clear
for emergencies. Thank you.

I'm going to the vending machine.
Do you want anything?

This is a simulation. We have to survive
on the supplies we brought.

Okay. Just checking.

We should have asked her
to get some Funyuns.

You're not going to have Funyuns
when we're a mile below the Earth.

What if we brought them down with us?

We'll take some Funyuns.

Anything else?

Some York Peppermint Patties,
a couple of Dr. Peppers...

...and run to Best Buy and see if
they have a portable DVD player...

...and season one of a show
called Hannah Montana.

Have her get season two.
Season one it was still finding itself.

Sorry you guys had to see that.

- Don't apologize.
- It makes it harder...

...to pretend it never happened.

Money's a sensitive subject for Howie
because of the difference in our income.

It really bothers him?

Sure. There's still a lot of pressure
on guys to be providers.

So even though he's happy for me,
it's just a little tough on him.

Uh-oh.

- What?
- Well...

...if I do well in sales, I could end up
making more than you.

Not a problem. I grew up with a mother...

...who emasculated my father financially
and in every other aspect of his life.

Really, it's what I think love looks like.

I'll be right back.
I'm gonna go check on him.

Maybe it's a good thing we came here.
It's like a lesson in what not to do.

I don't want money to come between us.

It won't. Let's promise to figure
this stuff out before we get married.

HOWARD: Why are you being so bossy?
BERNADETTE: Why are you being a baby?

HOWARD: I'm not a baby. I'm a grown man,
and I made the bed. Now where's my star?

- Should we go?
- Hang on. I wanna see if he gets the star.

This heat is brutal.

As someone from the
tropical subcontinent of India...

...you should know fanning yourself in a humid
environment raises your body temperature.

Huh. That does explain why the servants used
to look so hot while they were fanning me.

Let's get our minds off
how uncomfortable we are.

We could take some more
simulated instrument readings.

My major focus at the moment
is keeping my claustrophobia at bay.

- How's that going?
- You tell me.

I feel like I can't breathe,
and I am tempted to crack you open...

...and suck the air right out of your lungs.

Sheldon, if this is too much, we can stop.

- We're not stopping.
- You don't have to bite my head off.

I apologize. I just...

I'm plagued by an internal struggle.

If you would just use the bucket,
you'd be so much more comfortable.

My struggle is emotional.

- Is it Amy?
- It's dark matter.

When I entered the field of string theory,
I was a prodigy.

I rose to a position of respect...

...and I assumed my career would
continue on that upward trajectory.

Now here I am in my 30s.

I'm back at square one.

And frankly, it's frightening.

Sheldon, you know what
I think of when I'm scared?

Voyager.

Voyager the space probe,
or Voyager the Star Trek TV show?

- The space probe.
- Good.

I am too hot and tired to go on about
how much I hate Voyager the TV show.

By the time I was born, Voyager 1's
mission was supposed to be over.

It had seen Jupiter
and Saturn and all their moons...

...but it kept going.

When I left India for America,
I was never more scared in my life.

I had no idea what lay ahead.

Whenever I feel that way,
I think about how Voyager is...

...still out there.

Somewhere beyond our solar system.

Going further than anyone
ever thought it could.

Don't leave. You can do this.

Sheldon, is everything okay?

It's too late for Koothrappali. Let's go.

Eleven minutes.
That's longer than I thought.

RAJ: They're in my shirt.
They're in my shirt. They're in my shirt!

Okay, this is definitely the most fun thing
we can do with the money.

I've never done it on
a big old pile of cash before.

"Me neither, Leonard.
It's my first time too."

I'm so sorry I made you
feel bad about the money stuff.

- It's okay.
- No. It's not okay.

I want us to be partners. Equals.

Adults in a mature relationship.

I want that too.

Now, let's talk about your birthday party.

Ooh, Laser tag. Laser tag.

- Do you really need me to transcribe this?
- You're not doing it for me.

You're doing it for future generations
who will benefit from my struggle.

SHELDON [ON RECORDING]:
Sheldon's mine simulation log.

Entry four.

My Kit Kat has melted.

All is lost.

You call yourself a friend?

I was trying to help you,
and at the first sign of trouble...

...you ran away,
leaving me to fend off a family of rats.

You're a completely selfish human being
and a physical and moral coward.

His statements of the obvious
continue to annoy.
