Died Lenard again, Sheldon, you're up.
Leonard 又死了，Sheldon，轮到你了。
Despite I deep love of chess, lasers and aerosol disinfectant, I must forfeit.
虽然我非常喜欢象棋，激光和空气清新剂，但我不得不放弃。

这包裹是你上班时寄来的。太好了，我的人造钻石，谢谢。

When I signed for the package, I was deputized by the United Parcel Service and entrusted with its final delivery.
我签收这个包裹时，即代表受联合邮递公司委托将其转交给你。
I now need you to acknowledge receipt of the package so that I'm fully indemnified and no longer liable.

A legal bailment has been created. Does that mean nothing to you?
主要是确立合法托管关系。你怎么能满不在乎呢？

谁在乎这个啊。进来，看看我在干什么。
Bailment describes a relationship in common law where a physical possession of personal property,

or chattels is transferred from one person, the bailer, to another person, the bailee. Yeah, yeah.
或者说"动产"的所有权从一人即委托人转给另一人受托者... 好了好了。

不是，我在做小花发夹。瞧见没？它们叫Penny小花。
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.
我给自己做了一个，结果上班那的女孩们都要。后来，我给奥德城一开铺子的女士看了，她是卖卡片和自制首饰的。
She said she wanted to sell them, I said okay, and in one week, I made a $156.
她说要卖我的发夹，我说好哇，这样一周我就赚了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.
真不错。签字。Sheldon，你不明白吗？如果这事有起色，我就不用再做服务生了。
But then who will bring me my cheeseburger on Tuesday nights?
那每周二晚谁给我拿芝士汉堡？
Another waitress? What's her name? I don't know.
别的服务生？她叫什么？我不知道呢。
And you're going to let her handle my food? Nancy. Her name is Nancy.
那就让她给我送餐？南希，她叫南希。
I think you're just making that up.

That's all? Before taxes. Well, I don't have to pay taxes on this stuff.
