triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Leonard: Hey.

Zack: Hey.

Leonard: Hey.

Penny: Hey, your copy of Science magazine was in my mailbox.

Leonard: Oh, thanks.

Penny: Mm-hmm.

Zack: Check it out, all about planets this month.

Leonard: That’s an atom.

Zack: Agree to disagree. That’s what I love about science, there’s no one right answer.

Leonard: So, you and Zack again, huh?

Penny: Yeah, yeah, me and Zack again.

Zack: Were we here earlier?

Penny: Okay, we should, we should go.

Zack: Ah, not yet. I want to talk science with the science dudes.

Howard: Oh, and the science dudes want to talk science with you. What do you want to talk about, rocks, dinosaurs, our friend the beaver?

Zack: You know, I saw this great thing on the Discovery Channel. Turns out that if you kill a starfish, it’ll just come back to life.

Sheldon: Was the starfish wearing boxer shorts? Because you might have been watching Nickelodeon.

Zack: No, I’m almost sure that it was the Discovery Channel. It was a great show. They also said dolphins might be smarter than people.

Leonard: They might be smarter than some people.

Zack: Well, maybe we can do an experiment to find out.

Sheldon: Oh, that’s easy enough. We’d need a large tank of water, a hoop to jump through, and a bucket of whatever bite-sized treats you find tasty.

Zack: I don’t get it.

Leonard: A dolphin might.

Zack: Oh, I see. You guys are inferring that I’m stupid.

Sheldon: That’s not correct. We were implying it. You then inferred it.

Zack: Let’s go.

Penny: You know, for a group of guys who claim they spent most of their lives being bullied, you can be real jerks. Shame on all of you. (Closes door)

Raj: What the hell did I do?

Penny: You laughed.


Leonard: You think Penny’s right? Were we bullying Zack?

Howard: No, I know bullying. He left here unswirlied and his ass crack was underpants-free.

Raj: And nobody drew a penis on his forehead.

Leonard: That happened to you?

Raj: First day of cricket camp. They drew it so the testicles were my eyes.

Leonard: I don’t know, I think we might owe the guy an apology.

Howard: So go apologize.

Leonard: Why me?

Howard: You started it, we just piled on.

Leonard: What would I even say?

Sheldon: Zack, I’m sorry you’re stupid. Have a Milk Dud.

Raj: A Milk Dud?

Sheldon: Yeah, Milk Duds, with their self-deprecating name and remarkably mild flavour, are the most apologetic of the boxed candies.

Leonard: I got a better idea. We’re all responsible. I say we all go. Come on, who’s with me? Free comic books to anyone who comes with me. I might get punched. You really want to miss that?

Raj: Junior Mints are pretty apologetic.

Sheldon: You’re embarrassing yourself.
