 Oh, here's a fun postal¹ fact.The inside of our mailbox is under federal jurisdiction², so if you broke my right thumb,that's the Pasadena City Police. 有趣邮政小知识,邮箱的内部是受联邦政府管辖,所以如果你伤了我的右拇指是帕萨迪纳市警局抓你

If I'm going to jail,I'm killing³ him, not breaking his thumb.Yeah. 如果我真要犯事入狱,那怎么也得杀了他，而不是伤他拇指,没错

I got a letter from my meemaw.Smell this.What is that? 我收到我姥姥给我寄的信，闻闻，什么味道

Fun.Like your ComicCon Spock ears, and your aroundthehouse Spock ears.I park fine. 有意思，就像你的漫展史波克耳朵跟在家戴的史波克耳朵一样，我停车技术明明还行

Oh, you are going to love her.She is the kindest, sweetest woman you'll ever meet. 你们绝对会爱死她，她会是你们见过最善良最贴心的女人

Yeah, unless you're a gopher digging up her vegetable garden.In that case, you can expect to have your head bashed in with a shovel⁴. 除非你是挖她菜园的地鼠，那样的话，就等着脑袋被她用铲子打爆吧

That's not her. That's not her.That's not her. That's not her.That's not her.That's not her. That's not her.That's not her. 不是她，不是她，这也不是她，不是她，不是她，不是她，不是她，那也不是她

Sorry, Leonard. Can you please live with us forever? 莱纳德，对不起，您能在我们那里长住下去吗

I'm sorry, and how much money did your version of Frozen make?! 真是不好意思，请问你这版本的《冰雪奇缘》赚了多少钱呢

SiSize me up? Sheldon's mother may be okay with you, but I'm not so easy. 掂掂...我的斤两，谢尔顿的母亲或许对你没意见，但我可没这么好说话
