Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій

Penny: What the hell? What? She’s not working late.

Sheldon: And Amy doesn’t look sick.

Penny: Why would they lie to us?

Sheldon: That’s a good question. Amy and Bernadette. Amy and Bernadette. Amy and Bernadette. Why did you lie to us?

Penny: You’re not working late. Why did you lie to me?

Sheldon: And Amy, you told me you were sick, but you look just as pale and tired as always.

Amy: I’m sorry, I just needed a break from hearing you obsess about what to do after string theory.

Bernadette: We kind of just wanted one night where we didn’t have to hear about how miserable you are making this movie.

Amy: But none of that means we don’t love you.

Penny: I haven’t been complaining that much about the movie. Have I?

Leonard: I also love you.

Penny: Well you know what? Maybe I need a break from all of you. Come on, Sheldon.

Sheldon: Where are we going?

Penny: We’re going to have Anything Can Happen Thursday, you’re going to tell me all about your science stuff and I’m going to complain about my movie, and we’re going to support each other because that’s what friends do.

Sheldon: Okay. ‘Cause if I had to pick now, I’d probably go with dark matter because...

Penny: Shut up.


Penny: Oh, I think I see our next stop.

Sheldon: You can’t be serious. If I wanted to waste my time on nonsense, I’d follow Leonard on Instagram.

Penny: No, come on, tonight we are trying new things.

Sheldon: Oh. That’s a lot of incense. Or someone set a hippie on fire.


Sheldon: I don’t mean to be rude or discourteous, but before we begin, I’d just like to say there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support clairvoyance of any kind. Which means, and again, no insult intended, that you’re a fraud, your profession is a swindle, and, uh, your livelihood is dependent on the gullibility of stupid people. Again, no offence.

Penny: All right, Sheldon, just ask your question.

Sheldon: Okay, I just did. What was it?

Penny: Oh, for God’s sake. Look, he’s a physicist who’s trying to figure out what his next field of study should be.

Sheldon: For your information, I was asking her about the next Star Trek movie.

Penny: Okay, I can answer that one, I’ll be bored.

Psychic: All right, why don’t we begin? Your spirit guides are telling me that there’s a woman in your life you’re having problems with.

Sheldon: That’s an easy guess. I’m clearly an annoying person and have problems with both genders.

Psychic: Yes, you clearly are. But I’m seeing a specific woman that you’re in a romantic relationship with.

Penny: Oh, oh, here we go.

Psychic: Does she have dark hair?

Penny: Yes, yes, your spirit guides are on fire.

Sheldon: The majority of people have dark hair. Even you, at one time.

Psychic: Does she work in a similar field to you?

Sheldon: Ha. The opposite. She’s a neurobiologist, and I’m a theoretical physicist. My spirit guides can go suck an egg.

Psychic: They’re telling me that you have difficulty being close with her.

Penny: Oh, he does. He so does. What should he do?

Psychic: He should give himself to this relationship. Once he does, all his other pursuits will come into focus.

Penny: Sheldon, do you hear that? I mean, Amy is the key to your happiness.

Psychic: Exactly. Personally and professionally, everything will fall into place once you commit to her.

Sheldon: You know what this is? Yeah, and I reserve this word for those rare instances when it’s truly deserved. This is malarkey.

Penny: Wow, you really struck a nerve. I’ve never heard him use the M word before.
