看生活大爆炸學英語第二季第十二集

【劇情介紹】

見識到Kripke 機器人的厲害后, Sheldon還不死心說要把Monte打造地更強,結果他只是幫Monte換了電池而已, Kripke給機會讓Sheldon認輸,但是貌似Sheldon也是字典里沒這兩個字的人,硬磕到底了,結果…很慘…

RAJ: But,Sheldon,we don't have a chance.The only improvement you were able to make on the robot was to put fresh batteries in the remote.

SHELDON: What you fail to realize is Kripke suffers from a fatal flaw: overconfidence from his robot's massive size and its overwhelming power.

RAJ: That's not overconfidence. That's observation.

SHELDON: Trust me,Kripke will fall easy prey to my psychological warfare. Observe. Kripke. I would ask if your robot is prepared to meet its maker, but as you are its maker, clearly the two of you have met.

KRIPKE: What is his problem?

RAJ: Way to bust out the Jedi mind tricks, dude.

LEONARD: I just want to make sure that we're all clear. Standard robotic fighting league rules apply.

KRIPKE: Are you crazy? This is a street fight. The street has no rules.

SHELDON: He's right, Leonard. The paradigm is to the death.

KRIPKE: I will, however, give you the opportunity to concede my superiority now and offer me your robot as the spoils of war.

SHELDON: Never. I'd rather see Monte dead than in your hands.

KRIPKE: That could be easily arranged. Ready, set,go?

SHELDON: Do it.
