TEXT: Scene: The cafeteria. Sheldon: Gentlemen, I think I've come up with a fun way to get young people interested in science. Physics Mad-Libs. Now, give me a number. Leonard: Five. Sheldon: Uh-huh. And an irrational constant. Howard: E. Sheldon: And a funny Greek letter. Raj: Gamma. Sheldon: I said funny. Raj: Upsilon? Sheldon: Good one. And an electrical charge. Leonard: Positive. Sheldon: Ha. Perfect. Okay. Get this. Professor Jones told the symposium he had a new method for calculating the mass of a muon. Five times the limit of E to the upsilon as in a (laughs uncontrollably). Okay. No, no. I'll start over. Professor (laughs again) Howard: I haven't seen him laugh that hard since the day Leonard made that multiplication error. Sheldon: Oh, Oh, Lord, that multiplication error! He thought he carried the one. But he didn't. Leonard: It's not funny. That mistake got published. Sheldon: Stop! I'm going to wet myself! Raj: Hey, guys, guys, President Siebert is headed this way. Howard: I wonder what he wants. Leonard: Doesn't look happy, so I'm guessing he wants to talk to Sheldon. Seibert: Dr. Cooper? Leonard: Told ya. Sheldon: Oh, President Siebert, I assume you'd like to respond to one of the suggestions I put in the box by your office. Seibert: No, and stop installing suggestion boxes everywhere. Sheldon: You don't like written suggestions. You don't like when I give them to you while we're urinating in the men's room. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you're one of those stubborn people who are not open to suggestions. Seibert: Dr. Cooper, the physics department chair tells me you're refusing to take your vacation. Sheldon: I don't need a vacation. Sei
SUMMARY:
After being forced to take a vacation by President Siebert, Sheldon decides to spend it working with Amy in her neurobiology lab. However he refuses to do even basic work for Amy properly, such as cleaning beakers or counting bacterial spores, and instead forces her to allow him to do brain dissection. When Amy eventually allows Sheldon to perform brain dissection, he cuts his thumb accidentally and faints after seeing it bleed. Meanwhile, Bernadette's father wants Howard to sign a prenuptial agreement. Howard, unwilling to sign any prenup, is upset that Bernadette did not tell him directly about the prenup. Later Penny confronts both Sheldon and Howard at the Cheesecake Factory bar for their behavior towards their girlfriends. The next day, Sheldon goes over to Amy's lab again to apologize for his behavior the previous day. She then invites him to work with her again, but gives him the same basic work of cleaning beakers. Meanwhile, Bernadette tells Howard that her father is insistent on him signing the prenup, at which Howard says that he would talk it out with her father. But when Bernadette reveals that her father is a far right ideologue who hates Jews, Howard decides to put off the talk until he is in the space.
