Why are you crying?
Because I'm stupid.
Well, that's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.
“The Gorilla Experiment” · Season 3, Episode 10
In this episode: Sheldon Cooper (3), Penny (3), Leonard Hofstadter (1), Bernadette Rostenkowski (1)
It's a warm summer evening, circa 600 BC. You've finished your shopping at the local market, or agora... and you look up at the night sky. There you notice some of the stars seem to move, so you name them planetes or wanderer
[Penny puts her hand up]
Yes Penny.
Um, does this have anything to do with Leonard's work?"
This is the beginning of a 2,600-year journey we're going to take together from the ancient Greeks through Isaac Newton to Niels Bohr to Erwin Schrodinger to the Dutch researchers that Leonard is currently ripping off.
2,600 years?
Yeah, give or take. As I was saying: It's a warm summer evening in ancient Greece... Yes, Penny?
I have to go to the bathroom.
Can't you hold it?
Not for 2,600 years...
Alright go then.
[Penny goes off and Sheldon goes to his computer]
[voice-over] Project Gorilla: Entry Two. I am exhausted.
Oh, yeah, you can't sit there.
Why not?
That's where Sheldon sits.
He can't sit somewhere else?
Oh no, you see in the winter, that seat is close enough the the radiator so he's warm yet not so close that he sweats. In the summer it's directly in the path of a cross-breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that isn't direct so he can still talk to everybody yet not so wide that the picture looks distorted.
Perhaps there's hope for you after all.
