看生活大爆炸学英语第六季第一集
【剧情介绍】
Leonard放风筝时心不在焉,担心是不是自己让Penny觉得难堪了,Sheldon教育他“你一堂堂男子汉斗风筝的时候居然担心这种无聊的事情.” 因为Howard被美女吸引而弃赛导致Raj输了比赛,Raj非常生气说 “你才73斤,哪来的肌肉!”(比Howard还重的小编表示压力很大)
LEONARD: Why wouldn't Penny want her friends to meet me?
SHELDON:Focus,Leonard,focus! The heat of battle is upon us. The dogs of war are unleashed.
LEONARD: Maybe Koothrappali's right. Maybe I embarrass her.
SHELDON: You're embarrassing me right now. A grown man worrying about such nonsense when in the middle of flying kites.
LEONARD: Sorry.
SHELDON: Sorry won't bring their kites down. String burn! String burn!
RAJ: Oh,they think we're flanking. They're playing right into our hands. On the count of three,we execute the flying scissor. One,two...
HOWARD: Whoa! Did you see that?
RAJ: See what?
HOWARD: That chick-- she smiled at me.
RAJ: No,she didn't.
HOWARD: Yes,she did.
RAJ: Come on,scissors,scissors!
HOWARD: Hold my line. Wait.
RAJ: What are you doing? I can't scissors by myself! Howard! Come back!
SHELDON: Victory!
RAJ: Son of a bitch. You're a sucky friend,you know that? A sucky,sucky friend.
HOWARD: What was supposed to do? She gave me that "come-hither" look.
RAJ: If she gave you any look at all. it was a "you suck" look.
HOWARD: I would've caught up to her if I hadn't pulled a hammy.
RAJ: Oh,please,you weigh 80 pounds. You don't have a hammy.
LEONARD:So,Penny doesn't want me around her friends. I embarrass her. What else could it be?
SHELDON: Well,her actions could be out of concern for your feelings Perhaps she's excluded you from these gatherings because she's scouting for a new mate and don't want to do it in front of you.
LEONARD:Oh... how kind of her.
SHELDON: Agreed.
