Despite I deep love of chess, lasers and aerosol disinfectant, I must forfeit.
雖然我非常喜歡象棋，激光和空氣清新劑，但我不得不放棄。
Why? Because it's almost 11:00.

So? So Penny has a "Don't knock on my door before 11:00 or I punch you in the throat" rule.

這包裹是你上班時寄來的。太好了，我的人造鉆石，謝謝。

When I signed for the package, I was deputized by the United Parcel Service and entrusted with its final delivery.

I made one for myself. All the girls at work wanted one. I showed some to this lady who runs a shop. She sells cards and jewelry.
我給自己做了一個，結果上班那的女孩們都要。后來，我給奧德城一開鋪子的女士看了，她是賣卡片和自制首飾的。

她說要賣我的發夾，我說好哇，這樣一周我就賺了156美元。
Good for you. Sign here. Sheldon, don't you get it? If this takes off, I won't have to be a waitress anymore.
真不錯。簽字。Sheldon，你不明白嗎？如果這事有起色，我就不用再做服務生了。
But then who will bring me my cheeseburger on Tuesday nights?
那每周二晚誰給我拿芝士漢堡？
Another waitress? What's her name? I don't know.
別的服務生？她叫什么？我不知道呢。
And you're going to let her handle my food? Nancy. Her name is Nancy.
那就讓她給我送餐？南希，她叫南希。
I think you're just making that up.

I don't know. Like, 50 cents. I'm not sure. No, of course you're not. All right.

Ten dollars a day times five days a week times 52 weeks a year is $2600.
一天10塊錢，每周5天，每年52周，那你一年能掙2600塊。
That's all? Before taxes. Well, I don't have to pay taxes on this stuff.
就這么點？還是稅前。這玩意還交什么稅啊。

And you understand that will involve me telling you what to do? I understand.
你要搞清楚，這個過程中我會指導你做事。我明白。
And you're not allowed to be sarcastic or snide to me while I'm doing so. Okay.

You're thinking of the moving assembly line. An understandable, but not excusable, mistake.
