看生活大爆炸学英语第二季第十一集
【剧情介绍】
Leonard四人一起造了个机器人, Kripke(Leonard的同事,口齿不清+自大狂,忽略他说的话,连Raj也不禁要问 “他说哪里的方言” )前来挑衅要跟Leonard他们的机器人比,Sheldon义气之下迎战,还学专业选手说“挑衅话”, 戳Kripke的痛处----嘲笑Kripke的母亲胖,哎,人胖受人欺啊…
KRIPKE:Hey,Hofstadter. Word around the plasma lab is you built a robot?
LEONARD: Yes,we did,Kripke.
SHELDON: His name is Monte.
KRIPKE: Well,if you have any delusions about entering him against my robot, the Kwipke Kwippler in the Southern California Robot Fighting League Wound Wobin Invitational, aka the S.C.R.F.L.R.R.I., his name is gonna be Swrap Metal.
LEONARD: Come on, is that really necessary?
SHELDON: Leonard,I believe it is. This is trash talk, and trash talk is a traditional component in all sporting events. Kripke, your robot is inferior and it will be defeated by ours because ours exceeds yours in both design and execution. Also, I'm given to understand that your mother is overweight.
RAJ: Oh,snap.
SHELDON: Now,of course,if that is the result of a glandular condition and not sloth and gluttony, I withdraw that comment.
RAJ: What difference does it make? Fat is fat.
SHELDON: There are boundaries.
KRIPKE: Tell you what, forget the S.C.R.F.L.R.R.I. Wet's settle this robot a robot.
LEONARD:What do you mean?
KRIPKE: There's no guarantee we're gonna go against each other in the Wound Wobin, so let's throw down. You know,unless you're afraid.
SHELDON: We accept your challenge. Name a time and place.
KRIPKE: Tomorrow,3:00,the kinetics wab.
SHELDON: Make it so.
LEONARD: No,don't make it so. Barry,we can't fight you tomorrow. Our engineer is incapacitated.
KRIPKE: What's wrong with him?
RAJ:He's depressed because he's pathetic and creepy and can't get girls.
KRIPKE: We're all pathetic and creepy and can't get girls. That's why we fight robots.
