1
00:00:00.263 --> 00:00:01.954
Previously on
The Big Bang Theory...
2
00:00:02.154 --> 00:00:05.325
Actually, I-I need to talk to
both of you about your paper.
3
00:00:05.326 --> 00:00:07.218
Oh, right, how are
the citations coming?
4
00:00:07.242 --> 00:00:08.280
Um...
5
00:00:08.290 --> 00:00:11.530
We came a-across
a-a Russian paper
6
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:13.766
that seems to disprove
super-asymmetry.
7
00:00:22.443 --> 00:00:24.777
Okay, Sheldon and Amy
are still pretty upset
8
00:00:24.846 --> 00:00:26.512
about their theory
being disproved.
9
00:00:26.581 --> 00:00:29.810
So we have made
a list of subjects
10
00:00:29.150 --> 00:00:30.416
for everyone
to avoid.
11
00:00:30.485 --> 00:00:32.510
- Symmetry.
- Asymmetry.
12
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:33.219
Uh, SimCity--
13
00:00:33.321 --> 00:00:34.887
sounds too much like symmetry.
14
00:00:34.956 --> 00:00:36.756
That also applies
15
00:00:36.824 --> 00:00:38.791
to The Simpsons,
Simba from The Lion King,
16
00:00:38.860 --> 00:00:39.959
and cymbals.
17
00:00:40.270 --> 00:00:42.962
Russia or Russian
in any context.
18
00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:45.164
The country, the dressing,
the roulette.
19
00:00:46.567 --> 00:00:48.968
Uh, also no talk of Rocky IV.
20
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:50.736
Why Rocky IV?
21
00:00:50.805 --> 00:00:52.710
Because he fights
a Russian.
22
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:55.708
I'm sorry about her.
23
00:00:55.777 --> 00:00:57.821
We should just try and avoid
anything that makes them think
24
00:00:57.845 --> 00:00:59.712
of their project
or science
25
00:00:59.781 --> 00:01:02.581
or Nobel Prizes
or successes or failures.
26
00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:04.950
- Hi.
- Hi!
27
00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:06.519
Hey, guys.
Hey-a!
28
00:01:06.587 --> 00:01:07.853
What are you guys doing?
29
00:01:08.890 --> 00:01:10.550
Nothing.
30
00:01:10.124 --> 00:01:11.223
Nothing?
31
00:01:11.292 --> 00:01:15.194
Like what my career
has come to? Thanks a lot.
32
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:18.656
Nice going.

43
00:01:58.824 --> 00:02:00.323
What are you doing?
44
00:02:00.392 --> 00:02:01.958
Eating, reading,
45
00:02:02.270 --> 00:02:03.338
watching television,
listening to the radio.
46
00:02:03.362 --> 00:02:04.728
What does it look
like I'm doing?
47
00:02:06.832 --> 00:02:09.332
Is that asparagus? I thought
you hate asparagus.
48
00:02:09.401 --> 00:02:11.535
I thought so, too, but I also
thought super-asymmetry
49
00:02:11.603 --> 00:02:13.804
was a good idea,
so what else am I wrong about?
50
00:02:13.872 --> 00:02:17.700
Oh, so now you're
reevaluating
51
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:18.709
every opinion you've ever had?
52
00:02:18.777 --> 00:02:20.977
Yes. I am following the example
53
00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:23.180
of 17th century philosopher
René Descartes.
54
00:02:23.248 --> 00:02:24.815
He subjected
all his beliefs
55
00:02:24.883 --> 00:02:27.350
to radical doubt so that he
could build a bedrock belief
56
00:02:27.419 --> 00:02:30.754
and build his cognitive life
back up on firm principles.
57
00:02:30.823 --> 00:02:33.560
Ugh! Still yucky, still yucky.
58
00:02:36.462 --> 00:02:39.129
Sheldon, I know you're upset
about the paper, okay.
59
00:02:39.198 --> 00:02:40.297
I'm upset, too.
60
00:02:40.365 --> 00:02:42.232
I mean, I was so sure
we were right.
61
00:02:42.301 --> 00:02:44.634
Every fiber of my being
felt like this was it.
62
00:02:44.703 --> 00:02:47.671
This was the one. How can I
trust my instincts anymore?
63
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:49.339
Well, just because
our theory was wrong,
64
00:02:49.408 --> 00:02:51.541
that doesn't mean you're wrong
about everything.
65
00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:54.644
Doesn't it? I've always thought
I hated jazz, maybe I was wrong.
66
00:02:54.713 --> 00:02:56.713
Maybe it's great to hear
all the notes at once.
67
00:03:01.420 --> 00:03:04.187
I'm trying,
I'm really trying!
68
00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:10.930
- What you eating?
- Chicken fried steak.
69
00:03:10.162 --> 00:03:12.562
What? You can't have
chicken fried steak
70
00:03:12.631 --> 00:03:14.331
first thing in the morning.
- Hey,
71
00:03:14.399 --> 00:03:17.234
you knew I was a bad boy
when you married me.
72
00:03:17.302 --> 00:03:19.870
Come on, you want
a piece of this?
73
00:03:19.938 --> 00:03:22.506
You or the steak?
74
00:03:22.574 --> 00:03:24.400
Me.
I'm not sharing the steak.
75
00:03:25.310 --> 00:03:27.511
Hey, you guys busy?
76
00:03:27.579 --> 00:03:28.979
No, what's going on?
77
00:03:29.470 --> 00:03:31.715
I'm really worried
about Sheldon.
78
00:03:31.784 --> 00:03:33.450
I've never seen him this down.
79
00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:35.418
Have you tried making him
a cup of tea?
80
00:03:35.487 --> 00:03:38.555
He's reevaluated tea.
81
00:03:39.925 --> 00:03:42.893
Now he thinks it's nothing
but leaf soup.
82
00:03:42.961 --> 00:03:44.694
That's a good point.
83
00:03:44.763 --> 00:03:46.696
- No, it's not.
- No, it's not.
84
00:03:46.765 --> 00:03:48.632
He's rethinking everything.
85
00:03:48.700 --> 00:03:50.901
How long is it gonna be
before he gets to me?
86
00:03:50.969 --> 00:03:53.270
- Oh.
- It's that bad, huh?
87
00:03:53.338 --> 00:03:55.972
I'm afraid so. I just...
I don't know what to do.
88
00:03:56.410 --> 00:03:58.909
I have something
that might help.
89
00:03:58.977 --> 00:04:01.912
It's-it's a recording
of the only person
90
00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:04.981
whose opinion Sheldon
actually respects.
91
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:06.249
Hawking?
92
00:04:06.318 --> 00:04:07.484
Feynman?
93
00:04:07.553 --> 00:04:09.352
No, himself.
94
00:04:11.890 --> 00:04:13.290
It's a pep talk he made
when he was a kid.
95
00:04:13.358 --> 00:04:16.260
He gave it to me years ago
and told me to save it
96
00:04:16.128 --> 00:04:17.661
for a real emergency.
97
00:04:17.729 --> 00:04:19.429
What?
You didn't break it out
98
00:04:19.498 --> 00:04:21.464
when he declared his room
a sovereign nation
99
00:04:21.533 --> 00:04:24.401
and waged a trade war
against us?
100
00:04:24.469 --> 00:04:28.138
His major export is talking.
I didn't want that anyway.
101
00:04:33.212 --> 00:04:34.678
Is that a VCR?
102
00:04:34.746 --> 00:04:37.147
Yeah, Amy asked if we
had one she could borrow
103
00:04:37.216 --> 00:04:39.249
and I just want to make sure
it still works.
104
00:04:39.318 --> 00:04:40.784
What's on the tape?
105
00:04:40.853 --> 00:04:43.854
Not sure. I used to record
a lot of Jeopardy! for my mom,
106
00:04:43.922 --> 00:04:45.700
but if I push play
and you see some naked people...
107
00:04:45.724 --> 00:04:48.291
Got it.
What is porn?
108
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.961
Ooh, we were looking
for "vintage '80s erotica,"
109
00:04:51.290 --> 00:04:52.329
but I'll accept it.
110
00:04:52.397 --> 00:04:54.397
Hello, everybody.
111
00:04:56.935 --> 00:05:00.337
I am The Great Howdini.
112
00:05:03.675 --> 00:05:07.100
Put it back on.
You look adorable.
113
00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:08.445
It's just a practice tape
114
00:05:08.513 --> 00:05:11.882
from when I was trying to become
a member of the Magic Castle.
115
00:05:11.950 --> 00:05:13.817
I didn't know
you auditioned there.
116
00:05:13.886 --> 00:05:15.352
Oh, I never went
through with it.
117
00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:18.154
I watched the tape and realized
I wasn't good enough.
118
00:05:18.223 --> 00:05:21.324
You know that trick where
you saw a mannequin in half?
119
00:05:21.393 --> 00:05:24.194
- Don't you mean a lady?
- Thank God it was not a lady.
120
00:05:24.263 --> 00:05:26.620
I'd just be getting
out of jail.
121
00:05:27.165 --> 00:05:30.660
Come on, you're
a good magician.
122
00:05:30.135 --> 00:05:33.236
Really? You always
called magic dumb.
123
00:05:33.305 --> 00:05:35.710
You can be good
at something dumb.
124
00:05:36.608 --> 00:05:39.900
- You know what, you should audition now.
- It's fine.
125
00:05:39.770 --> 00:05:42.646
I don't need to be a member of
the most elite magical society
126
00:05:42.714 --> 00:05:45.448
on the face
of the earth.
127
00:05:45.517 --> 00:05:47.484
Sounds like you still want it.
128
00:05:47.552 --> 00:05:49.119
And I don't want our kids
129
00:05:49.187 --> 00:05:51.655
to watch this tape one day and
think their dad is a quitter.
130
00:05:51.723 --> 00:05:53.924
Oh, we don't have to
show it to them.
131
00:05:53.992 --> 00:05:56.259
Oh, I'm definitely
showing it to them.
132
00:05:58.897 --> 00:06:00.664
Hey.
133
00:06:00.732 --> 00:06:01.965
Hello.
134
00:06:03.902 --> 00:06:05.502
"Fine with flags"?
135
00:06:07.906 --> 00:06:09.940
Yes, flags--
136
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.375
up there flapping around
on poles.
137
00:06:12.444 --> 00:06:14.355
If you think about it,
they're just the strippers
138
00:06:14.379 --> 00:06:16.513
of the emblem world.
139
00:06:16.581 --> 00:06:18.848
Well, I got something
140
00:06:18.917 --> 00:06:21.510
that I think
might cheer you up.
141
00:06:21.119 --> 00:06:24.321
It is the emergency pep talk
you made when you were a kid.
142
00:06:24.389 --> 00:06:27.570
Oh, that.
143
00:06:27.125 --> 00:06:30.460
I was saving it for the day they
stop making Star Wars movies.
144
00:06:32.970 --> 00:06:34.497
I don't think that's
ever gonna happen.
145
00:06:34.566 --> 00:06:38.268
How long has it been
since you've seen it?
146
00:06:38.337 --> 00:06:40.170
Not since the day I recorded it.
147
00:06:40.238 --> 00:06:42.405
No, I had just watched
Back to the Future II,
148
00:06:42.474 --> 00:06:45.141
where Marty McFly gets a glimpse
of his future self
149
00:06:45.210 --> 00:06:46.509
and that got me thinking,
150
00:06:46.578 --> 00:06:49.312
the day may come
where I needed my help,
151
00:06:49.381 --> 00:06:52.315
like they did with that movie.
That was not great.
152
00:06:52.384 --> 00:06:55.785
Okay, all hooked up.
153
00:06:55.854 --> 00:06:58.288
Here we go.
154
00:07:01.226 --> 00:07:03.526
Oh, look how cute you were.
155
00:07:03.595 --> 00:07:07.163
Amy please, of course I was
cute. Look how I turned out.
156
00:07:07.232 --> 00:07:08.898
Hello, Sheldon.
157
00:07:08.967 --> 00:07:10.600
Hello, Sheldon.
158
00:07:10.669 --> 00:07:11.935
If you're watching this,
159
00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:14.504
I assume something bad
has happened.
160
00:07:14.573 --> 00:07:16.172
Something unfortunate
and unforeseen.
161
00:07:16.241 --> 00:07:19.542
Something that's making you
162
00:07:19.611 --> 00:07:21.211
question everything.
163
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.581
I'm so smart.
164
00:07:24.649 --> 00:07:26.916
Now just to make sure
it's really you watching this
165
00:07:26.985 --> 00:07:30.453
and not an imposter,
what am I thinking of?
166
00:07:30.522 --> 00:07:32.550
On the count of three.
167
00:07:32.124 --> 00:07:34.924
One, two, three.
168
00:07:34.993 --> 00:07:38.228
Robot monkey butler.
Robot monkey butler.
169
00:07:38.296 --> 00:07:40.960
Okay, good.
170
00:07:40.165 --> 00:07:43.466
Should I leave
you two alone?
171
00:07:43.535 --> 00:07:46.936
No, this is gonna be inspiring.
You should watch.
172
00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:49.706
Sheldon, never forget,
173
00:07:49.775 --> 00:07:51.908
no matter how bad things seem,
174
00:07:51.977 --> 00:07:53.209
you can Al...
175
00:07:56.615 --> 00:07:59.682
- What? What...
- No. N...
176
00:07:59.751 --> 00:08:01.170
My dad taped over it
177
00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:03.653
with one of his stupid
high school football games.
178
00:08:03.722 --> 00:08:04.921
Sorry.
179
00:08:04.990 --> 00:08:06.734
You know, it doesn't matter,
nothing matters.
180
00:08:06.758 --> 00:08:08.491
Is there anything
I can do?
181
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.493
Yes. You can build me
a time machine
182
00:08:10.562 --> 00:08:13.329
so I can go back and tell my
younger self to give up, because
183
00:08:13.398 --> 00:08:15.380
nothing's gonna work out
the way he wants.
184
00:08:19.104 --> 00:08:21.370
I was thinking a nice cup
of leaf soup.
185
00:08:28.455 --> 00:08:29.706
What's all this?
186
00:08:29.707 --> 00:08:31.707
Your magic tricks
from the garage.
187
00:08:31.776 --> 00:08:35.477
Your wands, your top hat
with the stuffed mouse inside.
188
00:08:35.546 --> 00:08:37.279
I never had a stuffed mouse.
189
00:08:37.348 --> 00:08:39.715
Okay, do not wear this hat.
190
00:08:39.784 --> 00:08:43.180
Why is it all
in the living room?
191
00:08:43.870 --> 00:08:44.920
Because I think
The Great Howdini
192
00:08:44.989 --> 00:08:47.256
deserves to be a member
of the Magic Castle.
193
00:08:47.324 --> 00:08:50.659
That's sweet, but I'm
not that guy anymore.
194
00:08:50.728 --> 00:08:52.661
I've outgrown it.
195
00:08:54.398 --> 00:08:56.365
Have you?
196
00:08:57.802 --> 00:09:01.360
Look, I know you still
want this, and I can help you.
197
00:09:01.105 --> 00:09:02.938
All those pageants
I did as a kid--
198
00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:04.907
I could teach you
how to present yourself,
199
00:09:04.975 --> 00:09:07.409
connect with the judges,
sabotage the competition.
200
00:09:07.478 --> 00:09:09.778
Whoa, whoa, no one's
sabotaging anybody.
201
00:09:09.847 --> 00:09:11.460
Of course not.
202
00:09:11.115 --> 00:09:14.683
Little girls in ball gowns
trip, it happens.
203
00:09:14.752 --> 00:09:18.253
Trust me, I'm gonna be
the pageant mom to you
204
00:09:18.322 --> 00:09:19.588
that my mom was to me.
205
00:09:19.657 --> 00:09:22.224
I thought you hated your mom
for making you do that.
206
00:09:22.293 --> 00:09:25.600
More talk like that and
you're not getting any dinner.
207
00:09:25.129 --> 00:09:27.696
Amazing how it all comes back.
208
00:09:34.338 --> 00:09:35.604
Yes?
209
00:09:35.673 --> 00:09:38.140
- Hello, Mother.
- Hey, Beverly.
210
00:09:38.209 --> 00:09:39.842
Hello, Leonard.
Hello, Penny.
211
00:09:39.910 --> 00:09:41.877
To what do I owe this call?
212
00:09:41.946 --> 00:09:43.345
I need your
professional advice.
213
00:09:43.414 --> 00:09:44.980
Well, I'd love
to help you out, dear,
214
00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:46.915
but I'm very busy at the moment.
215
00:09:46.984 --> 00:09:49.151
Perhaps we can schedule
a time next week.
216
00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.252
It's about Sheldon.
217
00:09:50.321 --> 00:09:51.854
Oh, well, I-I suppose
218
00:09:51.922 --> 00:09:53.722
I can spare a minute or two.
219
00:09:53.791 --> 00:09:56.358
Wh-Why did you just say
you're too busy, but...
220
00:09:56.427 --> 00:09:59.528
Leonard, please,
not everything is about you.
221
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.650
Penny, go on.
222
00:10:03.133 --> 00:10:05.601
Well, ever since his
paper got disproven,
223
00:10:05.669 --> 00:10:06.869
he's been a wreck.
224
00:10:06.937 --> 00:10:09.538
He's been sad
and... and angry.
225
00:10:09.607 --> 00:10:11.573
He just seems
kind of broken.
226
00:10:11.642 --> 00:10:13.153
Well, it sounds
like he may be grieving.
227
00:10:13.177 --> 00:10:14.276
Really?
228
00:10:14.345 --> 00:10:16.110
- Over a theory?
- Of course.
229
00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:18.146
You can grieve
over any emotional loss.
230
00:10:18.215 --> 00:10:19.781
The more you care
about something,
231
00:10:19.850 --> 00:10:21.950
the greater the trauma
of losing it.
232
00:10:22.190 --> 00:10:23.952
Oh, boy.
He cared about this a lot.
233
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:26.880
Yeah. What can we do
to help him?
234
00:10:26.156 --> 00:10:28.290
Well, grieving is a process.
235
00:10:28.359 --> 00:10:31.293
Every culture has its own
rituals and traditions
236
00:10:31.362 --> 00:10:33.295
to facilitate mourning.
237
00:10:33.364 --> 00:10:36.298
The ancient Egyptians
had their mummification,
238
00:10:36.367 --> 00:10:39.201
the Tibetans had
their sky funerals...
239
00:10:39.270 --> 00:10:41.481
And when I was little and my dog
died, my mom sat me down
240
00:10:41.505 --> 00:10:43.739
and very gently told me
that she wished the truck
241
00:10:43.807 --> 00:10:45.941
had hit my dad instead.
242
00:10:47.978 --> 00:10:49.745
I was trying
to lighten the mood.
243
00:10:49.813 --> 00:10:52.180
Your dog had just died.
244
00:10:55.419 --> 00:10:58.587
Howard and I have been working
really hard on his audition,
245
00:10:58.656 --> 00:11:00.734
so it'll be helpful to get
another set of eyes on it.
246
00:11:00.758 --> 00:11:02.502
Well, as someone who has
watched every episode
247
00:11:02.526 --> 00:11:03.792
of America's Got Talent,
248
00:11:03.861 --> 00:11:05.171
I'm getting pretty good
at telling
249
00:11:05.195 --> 00:11:07.129
when some American's got talent.
250
00:11:07.197 --> 00:11:08.797
Seriously,
251
00:11:08.866 --> 00:11:11.199
Heidi and I agree,
like, 90% of the time.
252
00:11:11.268 --> 00:11:12.868
All right.
253
00:11:12.937 --> 00:11:15.404
Don't be afraid to be
brutally honest.
254
00:11:15.472 --> 00:11:17.806
Like my mom used to say
when I was doing pageants,
255
00:11:17.875 --> 00:11:20.842
"Tears only make your eyes
sparkle brighter."
256
00:11:20.911 --> 00:11:23.178
That is both sad and true.
257
00:11:23.247 --> 00:11:25.681
Half my Instagram
is after a good cry.
258
00:11:25.749 --> 00:11:28.160
Howie, you ready?
259
00:11:28.850 --> 00:11:29.685
Yeah.
260
00:11:29.753 --> 00:11:34.560
I now present The Great Howdini.

Hello. I'm The Great Howdini
from Altadena, California.
268
00:12:14.832 --> 00:12:16.698
I have no brothers or sisters
269
00:12:16.767 --> 00:12:21.370
and my favorite thing to eat
is grilled cheese.
270
00:12:21.438 --> 00:12:22.871
When does the magic start?
271
00:12:22.973 --> 00:12:26.341
It already started.
272
00:12:27.778 --> 00:12:29.544
Hey.
273
00:12:29.613 --> 00:12:31.713
Hi. How are
you guys doing?
274
00:12:31.782 --> 00:12:33.382
A little better,
if you can believe it.
275
00:12:40.457 --> 00:12:41.323
Sheldon?
276
00:12:41.392 --> 00:12:43.492
Go away.
277
00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:45.560
Buddy, come on, let us help you.
278
00:12:45.629 --> 00:12:47.562
The only person
who could help me was erased
279
00:12:47.631 --> 00:12:49.765
by the Medford High Wolves.
280
00:12:49.833 --> 00:12:52.334
Oh, that's funny. My high
school was also the wolves.
281
00:12:52.403 --> 00:12:54.770
No? Not now? Okay.
282
00:12:54.838 --> 00:12:56.805
Look,
t-this might
283
00:12:56.874 --> 00:12:58.640
seem strange, but, uh,
284
00:12:58.709 --> 00:13:01.154
we thought it might help you get
some closure if you had a chance
285
00:13:01.178 --> 00:13:03.110
to properly say good-bye
to your paper.
286
00:13:03.800 --> 00:13:04.657
Yeah, you know, we
could say a few words,
287
00:13:04.681 --> 00:13:06.126
you could talk about
what it meant to you
288
00:13:06.150 --> 00:13:08.150
and-and we could
bury it somewhere.
289
00:13:08.218 --> 00:13:10.519
You mean have a funeral
for our theory?
290
00:13:10.587 --> 00:13:11.753
Yeah.
291
00:13:11.822 --> 00:13:13.210
That's ridiculous.
292
00:13:13.900 --> 00:13:15.657
I thought so, too, but my mom
thought it might work.
293
00:13:15.726 --> 00:13:18.493
Beverly thought it would help?
We should try it.
294
00:13:18.562 --> 00:13:20.929
Wha-- How come when you thought
it was my idea...
295
00:13:20.998 --> 00:13:22.264
Leonard,
296
00:13:22.332 --> 00:13:24.660
please, this is not about you.
297
00:13:26.203 --> 00:13:28.336
I guess we could bury it
in the park.
298
00:13:28.405 --> 00:13:30.338
Yeah, where dogs do their
business and other dogs
299
00:13:30.407 --> 00:13:32.441
sniff that business?
- I don't think so.
300
00:13:32.509 --> 00:13:34.943
What would you
like to do, Sheldon?
301
00:13:37.810 --> 00:13:39.781
The only fitting send-off:
302
00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:41.490
a Viking funeral.
303
00:13:41.118 --> 00:13:42.884
You mean, like,
push it out into a lake
304
00:13:42.953 --> 00:13:44.453
and shoot it
with a flaming arrow?
305
00:13:44.521 --> 00:13:47.522
This guy gets it.
306
00:13:47.591 --> 00:13:49.391
How about a bathtub
and a match?
307
00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:52.194
How about a bathtub
and a flaming arrow?
308
00:13:52.262 --> 00:13:55.530
How about a bathtub, a match
and an ice-cold Yoo-hoo after?
309
00:13:55.599 --> 00:13:58.133
Sold.
310
00:14:01.738 --> 00:14:04.306
Would you like to say something?
311
00:14:04.374 --> 00:14:06.308
Y-Yes, thank you.
312
00:14:06.376 --> 00:14:10.745
I know this is just
a scientific theory,
313
00:14:10.814 --> 00:14:12.714
but to me, it was
more than that.
314
00:14:12.783 --> 00:14:16.218
It described the universe
in a new and beautiful way.
315
00:14:16.286 --> 00:14:19.554
I want that to be the
universe we live in,
316
00:14:19.623 --> 00:14:22.230
but I guess it's not.
317
00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:25.961
Amy, would you like
to shoot the arrow?
318
00:14:39.810 --> 00:14:41.877
It's kind of beautiful,
isn't it?
319
00:14:41.945 --> 00:14:44.646
Yeah, it is.
320
00:14:48.619 --> 00:14:50.619
It's getting kind of
close to the curtain.
321
00:14:50.687 --> 00:14:51.887
It's in water, it's fine.
322
00:14:51.955 --> 00:14:54.890
- Oh!
- Oh!
323
00:14:54.158 --> 00:14:56.191
Oh!
324
00:14:56.260 --> 00:14:57.701
Looks like we both had theories
that were wrong.
325
00:14:57.725 --> 00:14:58.951
Okay...
326
00:15:03.367 --> 00:15:04.799
Are you getting sick?
327
00:15:04.868 --> 00:15:08.103
No, I have glitter in my nose.
328
00:15:08.172 --> 00:15:10.105
Just your nose?
329
00:15:10.174 --> 00:15:12.730
Consider yourself lucky.
330
00:15:12.142 --> 00:15:13.975
Hey, I'm gonna
331
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:15.143
take tomorrow off
332
00:15:15.212 --> 00:15:17.279
so we can spend the whole day
running the act.
333
00:15:17.347 --> 00:15:21.917
You know what, it has been
so much fun working on this
334
00:15:21.985 --> 00:15:23.585
with you, but...
- But what?
335
00:15:23.654 --> 00:15:25.120
It hasn't.
336
00:15:26.323 --> 00:15:28.560
I'm not gonna audition.
337
00:15:28.125 --> 00:15:29.891
Hey, I didn't raise a quitter.
338
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:31.626
You didn't raise me at all.
339
00:15:31.695 --> 00:15:33.995
Look,
340
00:15:34.640 --> 00:15:36.665
I get that you're scared, but
we just have to push past that.
341
00:15:36.733 --> 00:15:38.833
I'm not scared.
I don't like the act.
342
00:15:38.902 --> 00:15:40.135
It's over-the-top
343
00:15:40.204 --> 00:15:44.105
and weird and has more
jazz hands than magic.
344
00:15:44.174 --> 00:15:46.740
Why didn't you say
something earlier?
345
00:15:46.143 --> 00:15:48.677
You seemed like
you were so happy,
346
00:15:48.745 --> 00:15:50.560
and then when I tried
to say something,
347
00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:52.847
you seemed like you were so mad.
348
00:15:52.916 --> 00:15:54.816
Hey, this isn't about me.
349
00:15:54.885 --> 00:15:56.325
I just wanted you
to have your dream,
350
00:15:56.386 --> 00:15:57.986
and I wanted
to control everything
351
00:15:58.550 --> 00:16:01.656
about how you looked and acted
so that your victory was mine.
352
00:16:01.725 --> 00:16:05.694
Well, that's honest.
353
00:16:05.762 --> 00:16:08.163
But if I'm gonna
go through with this,
354
00:16:08.232 --> 00:16:10.310
I have to do it my own way.
355
00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:12.000
I respect that,
356
00:16:12.690 --> 00:16:14.470
and I'm glad that I helped
lead you to this moment.
357
00:16:14.710 --> 00:16:16.471
Stop trying to make this
your victory!
358
00:16:29.786 --> 00:16:32.153
Why are you watching that?
359
00:16:32.222 --> 00:16:33.321
I'm just looking to see
360
00:16:33.390 --> 00:16:35.490
if there's anything left
of your speech.
361
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.293
It's not important.
I remember everything I said.
362
00:16:38.362 --> 00:16:40.610
And?
363
00:16:40.130 --> 00:16:43.898
It was good, it just would've
meant more coming from me.
364
00:16:45.769 --> 00:16:48.303
All right, bring it in.
365
00:16:48.372 --> 00:16:49.638
Is that your dad?
366
00:16:49.706 --> 00:16:51.206
It is.
367
00:16:51.275 --> 00:16:53.475
I've only seen pictures of him.
368
00:16:53.543 --> 00:16:56.411
I know we're down, by a lot.
369
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.847
And if I'm being
honest with you,
370
00:16:58.915 --> 00:17:00.915
we're probably not
gonna win this one.
371
00:17:00.984 --> 00:17:05.420
In fact, we're definitely not
gonna win this one.
372
00:17:05.489 --> 00:17:08.189
Do you want me to turn it off?
373
00:17:08.258 --> 00:17:10.659
But we're not
gonna quit, either.
374
00:17:10.727 --> 00:17:11.993
And if we do lose,
375
00:17:12.620 --> 00:17:15.230
you need to know
that doesn't make you losers.
376
00:17:15.299 --> 00:17:19.234
You learn as much about who you
are and what you're made of
377
00:17:19.303 --> 00:17:22.671
from failing as you do
from success.
378
00:17:22.739 --> 00:17:25.674
Maybe more.
379
00:17:25.742 --> 00:17:29.100
So you can spend the next half
feeling sorry for yourselves,
380
00:17:29.790 --> 00:17:31.713
or you can get out there
and give them hell.
381
00:17:31.782 --> 00:17:33.448
Yeah! Let's give them hell!
382
00:17:33.517 --> 00:17:36.751
Oh-- watch your mouth,
your mom might...
383
00:17:36.820 --> 00:17:39.120
I remember that game.
384
00:17:39.189 --> 00:17:41.656
Did they win?
385
00:17:41.725 --> 00:17:43.425
Oh, no.
386
00:17:43.493 --> 00:17:45.260
No, they lost so bad,
the other team
387
00:17:45.950 --> 00:17:49.130
let one of their cheerleaders
try to kick a field goal.
388
00:17:49.199 --> 00:17:52.534
Well, that was a nice speech.
Too bad it didn't work.
389
00:17:52.602 --> 00:17:54.936
Maybe it did.
390
00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:57.539
What do you mean?
391
00:17:57.607 --> 00:17:59.274
I've been acting
like the game is over,
392
00:17:59.343 --> 00:18:01.910
but it's only halftime.
393
00:18:01.978 --> 00:18:04.713
And there's a lot more physics
left to play.
394
00:18:04.781 --> 00:18:09.617
Wow, was that your first ever
sports metaphor?
395
00:18:09.686 --> 00:18:12.687
It was.
396
00:18:12.756 --> 00:18:15.230
And I think it was a home run.
397
00:18:18.195 --> 00:18:20.395
That's two.
398
00:18:20.464 --> 00:18:23.164
It's interesting.
399
00:18:23.233 --> 00:18:26.668
I've always thought that
my father's journey and my own
400
00:18:26.737 --> 00:18:31.973
were so different, but he also
faced failure and setbacks.
401
00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:36.478
Maybe our lives mirrored each
other more than I thought.
402
00:18:36.546 --> 00:18:40.949
So, from one viewpoint,
403
00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:44.319
you and your father's lives
are asymmetrical,
404
00:18:44.388 --> 00:18:49.624
but from another vantage point,
they're symmetrical.
405
00:18:49.693 --> 00:18:51.126
Sheldon,
406
00:18:51.194 --> 00:18:55.463
what if symmetry and asymmetry
are observer-relative?
407
00:18:55.532 --> 00:18:58.867
That would mean that
the Russian paper was right...
408
00:18:58.935 --> 00:19:01.770
But only from one perspective.
409
00:19:01.838 --> 00:19:04.773
If we look at it from a deeper
view in more dimensions,
410
00:19:04.841 --> 00:19:06.708
our theory still stands.
411
00:19:06.777 --> 00:19:10.780
Not only stands, i-it might be
an even bigger idea
412
00:19:10.147 --> 00:19:12.414
than the one we were
originally proposing.
413
00:19:12.482 --> 00:19:14.482
Go get your laptop.
We have a paper to fix.
414
00:19:14.551 --> 00:19:15.551
Okay.
415
00:19:20.424 --> 00:19:23.958
Thanks, Dad.
416
00:19:24.270 --> 00:19:25.460
We're gonna give them hell.
417
00:19:31.373 --> 00:19:33.473
Hi, I'm The Great Howdini,
418
00:19:33.541 --> 00:19:35.975
and it's an honor to be
auditioning at the Magic Castle.
419
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.844
Could I borrow your watch, sir?
420
00:19:37.912 --> 00:19:39.779
- Sure.
- Thank you.
421
00:19:39.848 --> 00:19:43.483
Ooh, Rolex, fancy.
I'll get it right back to you.
422
00:19:43.551 --> 00:19:47.854
Observe:
one very expensive watch,
423
00:19:47.922 --> 00:19:50.456
one wooden mallet.
424
00:19:52.794 --> 00:19:55.610
Do I dare? I do.
425
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.902
Would you be amazed if your
watch survived that pounding?
426
00:20:02.971 --> 00:20:05.972
I think you would-- behold.
427
00:20:14.370 --> 00:20:21.370
