        PENNY:All right, you guys. Good luck.
        LEONARD: Thanks, Penny. Break a leg.
        SHELDON: Yeah, break a leg.
        HOWARD: So road trip to Long Beach.
        LEONARD: We're not going to Long Beach.
        RAJ:　Why not?
        LEONARD: Because Sheldon doesn't have a drug-addicted cousin Leopold.
        RAJ:　Oh, too bad. I've always wanted to go to Long Beach.
        SHELDON: It's a very nice community. The Queen Mary is docked there. Once the largest liner in the world, it's now a hotel and restaurant where they host a surprisingly gripping murder-mystery dinner.
        RAJ:　Sounds fun.
        HOWARD: I'm game.
        RAJ:　Shotgun.
        HOWARD: No, no, no.
        SHELDON: Leonard gets nauseous unless he sits in front, and even then it's iffy.
        LEONARD: Wait, are we really going to Long Beach?
        SHELDON:Leonard? Leonard? Leonard?
        LEONARD: Let it go, Sheldon.　The murderer was the first mate whether it makes sense to you or not.
        SHELDON:No, that's the least of our worries.　I've been doing research on addiction　both the biochemical and behavioral aspects　and I think there's a problem with the current version of our lie.
        LEONARD: What are you talking about? It's fine, she bought it, it's over.
        SHELDON:Sadly, it's not.
        【口语讲解】
        1. break a leg祝好运；大获成功（用于祝愿演员演出成功）
        2. I'm game的完整说法是I'm game if you are.：你敢的话，我就敢啊。(谁怕谁啊)
        3. call shotgun 坐副驾驶座. 这种说法起源于美国西部历史,那时驾马车的人坐在右边,路上会经常有劫匪,所以,总要有一个人坐在左边副驾驶位置手里拿一杆枪,以防万一.从此以后，坐副驾驶位就叫做ride shotgun.
        副驾驶叫shotgun.在美国似乎大家都很喜欢副驾驶座,所以如果有好几个人坐车的话,你如果想抢副驾驶的位子,就要call shotgun, 即：我做副驾驶位子！
        4. makes sense有意义;讲得通;言之有理.
        5. least of our worries最不用担心的问题.
        6. buy it 相信…的话,除此之外还有放弃，认输的意思
