背景介紹：Penny和Howard陪著Sheldon去車管局考駕照。此刻他們正排隊交申請表。

Woman：Take this to the testing area, put your name at the top, sign the bottom, answer the questions, bring it back. Next. Application?
帶這個去測試區，在上面寫上名字，下面簽字，回答完問題交回來，下一個，申請？
Sheldon：I'm actually more of a theorist.
我實際上更多是理論家。

（application是“申請表”的意思，也有“應用”、“應用學”之意。工作人員是問Sheldon“申請表呢？”，而他卻以為人家再問他是不是搞應用學的。其實他是個理論物理學家。）

Howard：The application in your hand. Give it to her.
是說你手里的申請表。給她。
Woman：Take this to the testing area, Put your name at the top, sign the bottom, answer the questions, bring it back. Next!
帶這個去測試區，在上面寫上名字，下面簽字，回答完問題交回來，下一個！
Sheldon：Excuse me, but I have some concerns about these questions.
抱歉，對這些問題我有些疑問。

Woman：Look at that sign up there.
看看那的牌子。
Sheldon：Yes?
怎么了？
Woman：Does it say "I give a damn"?
上面寫了"我在乎"嗎？
Sheldon：No.
沒。
Woman：That's because I don't.
那是因為我不在乎。

（give a damn 同give a shit，是一個不太禮貌的說法，表示“關心、在乎”）
Sheldon：Just look. See, this first question makes no sense.
看啊，第一個問題就說不通。
“Should you leave in front of you when driving?”
“你開車時車距應該保持幾個車身?”
There's no possible way to answer that. A "car length" is not a standardized unit of measure.
沒有可能能回答這個問題。車身長不是個標準化的度量單位。
Woman：Look at the sign.
看看那個牌子......
Penny：Sheldon, it's "c.”just put down "c."
Sheldon答案是"C" ，就寫"C"。
Sheldon：I don't need your help, penny.
我不需要你的幫忙Penny。
Woman：Listen to that little girl, honey. Put "c." next!
聽那個小姑娘的寶貝寫上"C"。下一個！
Sheldon：No, wait! No, hang on. Look at this next question.
別，等下，等等。看看下一個問題。
Howard：Sheldon, why are you arguing with the DMV?
Sheldon你為何要和車管局爭執？
Sheldon：How else are they going to learn?
否則他們怎么進步？
