【剧情介绍】

Leonard楼上搬来一新邻居Alicia, Leonard他们都殷勤地帮她搬家, 让Penny有些不开心,而且Alicia也是演员,还出演过一些广告和肥皂剧,这让Penny更郁闷了.

ALICIA: The guys have been helping me set up my sound system. I've never had such good-looking technical support.

HOWARD: Oh,pish-posh. I don't know,it means shucks. "Shucks" means shucks. Let one go once in a while.

LEONARD: Hey,uh,Penny,you want to hear something awesome?

PENNY: Yeah.

LEONARD: Alicia is an actress,just like you.

PENNY: That is so awesome.

ALICIA: Well,trying to be,but it's so hard.

PENNY: Yeah,I know,tell me about it.

ALICIA: I've been out here three months, and all I've gotten is a couple of national commercials and this recurring thing on a soap.

PENNY: That's why I work at the Cheesecake Factory. I'm holding out for the right part.

LEONARD: Alicia,what do you want as your default setting for DVDs,5. 1 Dolby or DTS?

ALICIA: Whatever you think is best,cutie.

LEONARD: Well,DTS has more low end,so...

Okay.

PENNY: Uh,hey,guys,guys,you will really appreciate this. I read the best science joke on the Internet.Alicia,you won't get it,but it's right up their alley.Anyway,so,this physicist goes into an ice cream parlor every week and orders an ice cream sundae for himself, and then offers one to the empty stool sitting next to him. This goes on for a while until the owner finally asks him what he's doing. The man says,"Well,I'm a physicist,"and quantum mechanics...teaches us "that it is possible for the matter above this stool"to spontaneously turn into a beautiful woman who might accept my offer and fall in love with me." The owner then says,"Well,lots of single,"beautiful women come in here ever day. "Why don't you buy an ice cream for one of them,and they might fall in love with you?" And the physicist says,"Yeah,but what are the odds of that happening?"

HOWARD: It's a little insulting,don't you think?

PENNY: How would I know? I'm not even sure I get it.
