you know,I've been thinking about time travel again.

Why,did you hit a roadblock with invisibility?

Put it on the back burner.

Anyway,it occurs to me if I ever did perfect a time machine,

I would just go into the past and give it to myself,

thus eliminating the need for me to invent it in the first place.

Interesting.

Yeah,it really takes the pressure off.

Sounds like a breakthrough.

Should I call science magazine and tell them to hold the cover?

It's time travel,leonard,I will have already done that.

Then I guess congratulations are in order.

No,congratulations will have been in order.

You know,I am not going to enjoy this party.

I know,I'm familiar with you.

The last department party,professor finkleday cornered me

and talked about spelunking for 45 minutes.

Yes,I was there.

You know what's interesting about caves,leonard?

- What? - Nothing.

Well,then we'll avoid finkleday,we'll meet the new department head,

congratulate him,shake his hand and go.

How's this?

"Pleased to meet you,dr.Gablehauser.

"How fortunate for you that the university's "chosen to hire you,

despite the fact "that you've done no original research in 25 years,

"and instead have written a series of popular books "

that reduce the great concepts of science "to a series of anecdotes,

"each one dumbed down to accommodate the duration

of an average bowel movement.

Mahalo.

"Mahalo's" a nice touch.

You know there only eight consonants in the hawaiian language?

Interesting. You should lead with that.

I love america.

You don't have buffets in india?

Of course,but it's all indian food.

You can't find a bagel in mumbai to save your life.

Shmear me.

Well,here's an interesting turn of events.

What?

Howard brought a date?

A more plausible explanation is

that his work in robotics has made an amazing leap forward.

Hey,what up,science bitches?

May I introduce my special lady friend summer?

Howard,I told you touching's extra.

Right. Sorry.

Here comes our new boss. Be polite.

Hi,fellas.

- Eric gablehauser. - Howard wolowitz.

Howard,nice to meet you. And you are?

An actual real scientist.

How was that?

I can't believe he fired me.

Well,you did call him a glorified high school science teacher

whose last successful experiment was lighting his own farts.

In my defense,I prefaced that by saying,"with all due respect."


The.Luminous.Fish.Effect

Morning.

Morning.

You're making eggs for breakfast?

This isn't breakfast,it's an experiment.

'Cause it looks a lot like breakfast.

I finally have time to test my hypothesis about the separation of the water molecules

from the egg proteins and its impact vis-a-vis taste.

Sounds yummy.

I look forward to your work with bacon.

As do I.

You know,I'm sure if you just apologize to gablehauser,

he would give you your job back.

I don't want my job back.

I've spent the past three and a half years staring at grease boards full of equations.

Before that,I spent four years working on my thesis.

Before that,I was in college,and before that,I was in the fifth grade.

This is my first d oayff in decades and I'm going to savor it.

Okay.

I'll let you get back to fixing your eggs.

Not just fixing my eggs,I'm fixing everyone's eggs.

And we all thank you.

use new eggs.

hi. Hey,I'm running out to the market.

Do you guys need anything?

Oh,well,this would be one of those circumstances that

people unfamiliar with the law of large numbers would call a coincidence.
