看生活大爆炸學英語第二季第十七集

【劇情介紹】

Raj發(fā)現(xiàn)終結(jié)者中的女主角竟然在火車上, Leonard打趣地說她是來保護男主角的,而Sheldon一邊一本正經(jīng)地提醒Leonard 那是電視情節(jié),一邊自導自演地起來.

RAJ: Holy crap! Look!

LEONARD: Is that who I think it is?

HOWARD: It can't be. What would Summer Glau be doing riding the train?

LEONARD: Maybe John Connor's aboard and she's protecting him from an evil Terminator.

SHELDON: Unlikely. That's a television show,Leonard.

LEONARD: Thank you.

SHELDON: Of course,if SkyNet actually did exist in the future, a perfect way toinfiltrate and destroy mankind would be to send Terminators back posing as actors who have played Terminators in popular films and television series, lulling us into a false sense of security,i.e.,"That's Summer Glau "from The Sarah Connor Chronicles. No,Summer,don't kill me!" I'm pro-robot! Ahh!"

LEONARD: At least he's off the train crap.

SHELDON: Whee!

HOWARD: Sheldon,I owe you an apology. Taking the train was a stroke of brilliance! I've actually got a shot at a Terminator.

RAJ: Oh,please.When it comes to Terminators, you've got a better shot of scoring with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

HOWARD: You're overlooking something. I have 11 hours with her in a confined space. Unless she's willing to jump off a moving train,tuck and roll down the side of a hill, she will eventually succumb to the acquired taste that is ward Wolowitz.

LEONARD: My money's on tuck and roll.
