【劇情介紹】

Sheldon和Raj正在爭(zhēng)論星際1和星際5哪個(gè)好看,Howard打電話來(lái)求救,1.他發(fā)現(xiàn)火星探測(cè)器卡住,2他把女孩帶入實(shí)驗(yàn)室,而這是不允許的.

LEONARD:How can 5 not be worse than 1?

RAJ: Yeah,Star Trek V worse thanI.

SHELDON:Okay,first of all,that's a comparison of quality, not intensity. Secondly,Star Trek I is orders-of-magnitude worse than Star Trek V.

RAJ: Are you joking? Star Trek Vis the standard against which all badness is measured.

SHELDON:No,no. Star Trek V has specific failures in writing and direction, While Star Trek I fails across the board: art direction, costuming, music, sound editing.

LEONARD:Can we just forget I said Defcon and go?

RAJ: Star Trek V.

SHELDON: All right,will you at least stipulate that Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is inarguably the best?

RAJ:I have three words for you: Wrath of Khan.

HOWARD: Oh,thank God,you're here.

LEONARD:What's the emergency?

HOWARD: I got the Mars Rover stuck in a ditch.

SHELDON: Where?

HOWARD: On a dusty highway just outside Bakersfield. Where do you think? On Mars!

STEPHANIE: Howard,is everything okay?

HOWARD: Yeah,baby,I'll be right in.

SHELDON: You brought a girl to the Mars Rover control room?

HOWARD: Yeah,I picked her up in the bar. She's a doctor. One free barium enema,and my mother won't care she's not Jewish.

LEONARD:Wait a minute. So the eye patch and the insults worked?

HOWARD: No,there were three other guys with eye patches. It was a fiasco. What did work was,"How'd you like to visit a secret government facility?"

SHELDON: ?So what exactly do you want us to do?

HOWARD: I need you and Raj to help me get the Rover out of the ditch and I need you to get Stephanie out before somebody notices she's here. She doesn't exactly have clearance.

SHELDON: Really? They don't let strange women from honky-tonks come in and play with $200 million government projects on distant planets?

HOWARD: Yes,I was bad. Maybe she'll spank me. Can we please move on?

STEPHANIE: Hey,Howard,you know,it's getting late,so do I get to drive this thing or what?

HOWARD: Yeah. No. I'm sorry,but something's come up. Kind of a Mars Rover Mars Rover can Howard come over situation. So my friend Leonard is gonna take you home.

STEPHANIE: Oh,okay. Let's go, friend Leonard.

LEONARD: Okay.

HOWARD: I'll call ya.

STEPHANIE: Yeah. So are you a scientist like Howard?

LEONARD:No one's a scientist like Howard.

HOWARD: My mother is so gonna love her.

SHELDON:How nice. Maybe they can carpool when they visit you in federal prison.
