Script 대본 Roteiro Texto

Sheldon: Good morning, Leonard.

Leonard: Uh-huh.

Sheldon: Yeah, we’re going to have to stop by a Pottery Barn on the way to work. I bought these Star Wars sheets, but they turned out to be much too stimulating to be compatible with a good night’s sleep. I don’t like the way Darth Vader stares at me.

Leonard: I’m not going to work. Didn’t I tell you I’d be working nights, and that you’d have to make other arrangements.

Sheldon: You did.

Leonard: And?

Sheldon: I didn’t. Let’s go.

Leonard: Goodnight, Sheldon.

Sheldon: But how am I going to get to work?

Leonard: Take the bus.

Sheldon: I can’t take the bus any more. They don’t have seatbelts.

Leonard: Oh, you’re a big boy. you’ll figure it out.

Sheldon: Don’t talk to me like I’m a child. Now, take me to return my Star Wars sheets!

Sheldon: Penny. Penny. Penny.

Penny: Sheldon, what is it?

Sheldon: Leonard is asleep.

Penny: Thanks for the update.

Sheldon: No, wait. You have to drive me to work.

Penny: Yeah, I really don’t think I do.

Sheldon: But I don’t drive. Didn’t you recently state that you and I are friends?

Penny: Yes, Sheldon, we are friends. Oh, dear God.

Sheldon: Thank you for driving me to work.

Penny: You know this is my day off, Sheldon.

Sheldon: Oh, good. I’m not keeping you from anything. Your check-engine light is on.

Penny: Mm-hmm.

Sheldon: Typically, that’s an indicator to, you know, check your engine.

Penny: It’s fine. It’s been on for, like, a month.

Sheldon: Well, actually, that would be all the more reason to, you know, check your engine.

Penny: Sheldon, it’s fine.

Sheldon: If it were fine, the light wouldn’t be on. That’s why the manufacturer installed that light. To let you know it’s not fine.

Penny: Maybe the light’s broken.

Sheldon: Is there a “check the check-engine light light”? O-o-o-oh!

Penny: What?

Sheldon: Studies have shown that performing tasks such as eating, talking on a cell phone, or drinking coffee while driving reduces one’s reaction time by the same factor as an ounce of alcohol.

Penny: Do you have any alcohol?

Sheldon: Of course not.

Penny: Too bad.

Sheldon: You’re going up Euclid Avenue?

Penny: Mm-hmm.

Sheldon: Leonard takes Los Robles Avenue.

Penny: Well, good for Leonard.

Sheldon: Euclid Avenue is shorter as the crow flies, but it has speed bumps, which appreciably increase point-to-point drive time, making it the less efficient choice. But you have the conn. Of course, if you’re not going to slow down for the speed bumps, I withdraw my previous objection.

Penny: How about we just have a little quiet time now?

Sheldon: Alright. I’m sorry. I’m finding your reckless nonchalance regarding the check-engine light to be very troubling.

Penny: Get out.
