看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語第二季第十集

【劇情介紹】

Sheldon總是神經(jīng)兮兮地覺得自己這也不舒服那也不舒服,于是跑到醫(yī)院找Stephanie要求做核磁共振啥的. Stephanie表示很無語.

HOWARD: See the blonde over there? I can hit on her and you can't.

LEONARD: So,go hit on her.

HOWARD: She's not my type.

RAJ: Too bad,'cause she was checking you out before.

HOWARD: She was?

RAJ: Of course not. Look at her.

LEONARD: I don't care what you guys think. Stephanie and I are very happy living together. I will give either of you 20 dollars,right now to trade pants with me.

STEPHANIE: Sheldon,what are you doing here?

SHELDON: Hang on. 130 over 80. A little high. We can attribute that to the stress of sneaking past the security desk.

STEPHANIE: Where did you get the stethoscope and the blood pressure cuff?

SHELDON: My aunt Marion gave them to me for my 12th birthday. She thought if I failed at theoretical physics that I should have a trade to fall back on. And by the way,the blood pressure cuff is called a sphygmomanometer.

STEPHANIE: I know.

SHELDON: Didn't they teach you that in medical school?

STEPHANIE: I'm busy here,Sheldon.

SHELDON: I understand. All I need is for you to authorize these tests. A cardiac stress test, a full body MRI, an electromyogram, a CBC,baseline glucose.

STEPHANIE: Upper GI?

SHELDON: Oh,and an exploratory laparoscopy. Last time I had hiccups,it felt like my diaphragm was just going through the motions.

STEPHANIE: Go home,Sheldon.

SHELDON: Can I at least have the upper GI? I already drank the barium!
