看生活大爆炸学英语第二季第十集
【剧情介绍】
Sheldon总是神经兮兮地觉得自己这也不舒服那也不舒服,于是跑到医院找Stephanie要求做核磁共振啥的. Stephanie表示很无语.
HOWARD: See the blonde over there? I can hit on her and you can't.
LEONARD: So,go hit on her.
HOWARD: She's not my type.
RAJ: Too bad,'cause she was checking you out before.
HOWARD: She was?
RAJ: Of course not. Look at her.
LEONARD: I don't care what you guys think. Stephanie and I are very happy living together. I will give either of you 20 dollars,right now to trade pants with me.
STEPHANIE: Sheldon,what are you doing here?
SHELDON: Hang on. 130 over 80. A little high. We can attribute that to the stress of sneaking past the security desk.
STEPHANIE: Where did you get the stethoscope and the blood pressure cuff?
SHELDON: My aunt Marion gave them to me for my 12th birthday. She thought if I failed at theoretical physics that I should have a trade to fall back on. And by the way,the blood pressure cuff is called a sphygmomanometer.
STEPHANIE: I know.
SHELDON: Didn't they teach you that in medical school?
STEPHANIE: I'm busy here,Sheldon.
SHELDON: I understand. All I need is for you to authorize these tests. A cardiac stress test, a full body MRI, an electromyogram, a CBC,baseline glucose.
STEPHANIE: Upper GI?
SHELDON: Oh,and an exploratory laparoscopy. Last time I had hiccups,it felt like my diaphragm was just going through the motions.
STEPHANIE: Go home,Sheldon.
SHELDON: Can I at least have the upper GI? I already drank the barium!
