-Penny：Okay, you guys, look, I know this is none of my business,
伙计们，听着，我知道这事压根跟我没关系，
but I just... I have to ask-- what's Sheldon's deal?
但是我还是要忍不住想问，Sheldon的取向是什么?
-Leonard：What do you mean "deal"?
你说的取向是什么?
-Penny：You know, like what's his deal?
你知道的，就是他的取向嘛。
Is it girls...? Guys...? Sock puppets...?
女人，男人，还是仿真娃娃?
-Leonard：Honestly, we've been operating under the assumption that he has no deal.
老实说，我们的假设是——他没有取向。

-Penny：Come on, everybody has a deal.
得了吧，每个人都有的。
-Howard：Not Sheldon.
但Sheldon除外。
Over the years, we've formulated many theories about how he might reproduce.
多年来，我们列出了很多假设，一直潜心试图探究他将如何繁衍后代。
I'm an advocate of mitosis.
我认为是有丝分裂。
-Penny：I'm sorry?
什么?
-Howard：I believe one day Sheldon will eat an enormous amount of Thai food and split into two Sheldons.
我相信总有一天，当Sheldon吃到一定量的泰国菜他就会分裂成两个Sheldon。
-Leonard：On the other hand, I think Sheldon might be the larval form of his species, and someday he'll spin a cocoon and emerge two months later with moth wings and an exoskeleton.
另一方面，我在想Sheldon可能处于他这个物种的幼虫状态，有一天他会结一个茧，两个月后带着翅膀和外骨骼破茧而出。
-Penny：Okay, well, thanks for the nightmares.
谢谢你俩给我讲恐怖故事。
