(birds singing, insects trilling)
SHELDON: It's nice to get back to nature.
Why don't I do this more often?
What a beautiful forest.
(gasps delightedly)
Hello, little butterfly.
What's your Na...
(screams)
Whatcha doing?
I was enjoying some virtual reality,
until you ruined it with your actual face.
What am I smelling?
Oh, it's car air freshener.
I was simulating the smell of the forest.
That's not what the forest smells like.
Well, how would I know?
Why are you pretending to be outdoors?
You hate it.
Hmm? Oh.
Amy showed me a compelling study
that demonstrated the cognitive benefit
of spending time in the wilderness.
Buddy, I am ready to drive you
into the wilderness any time you want
and leave you there.
Well, make your jokes, but some of the participants
who spent four days in the woods away from all technology
reported a 50% gain in reasoning skills upon their return.
Okay, if that's true, why aren't there more genius squirrels?
You may need this more than I do.

Here's your tea.
Oh!
Do not sneak up on a guy when he's sitting on a log.
You know, if you really want to be in nature,
why don't we rent a cabin?
Look, I'm sorry, when did you even get here? I...
You know, there's a cabin in Big Bear
that a doctor I work with keeps offering me.
Because he's hitting on you?
She.
Oh, good.
But I could get her.
We could all go for the weekend.
It'll be fun.
Yeah... (clears throat) Excuse me.
Here, look up "fun," get back to me.
You and I could still go and have a nice weekend.
Sure.
Come on, Sheldon, let's go with them.
I hardly think so.
You be sure and say hello
to all the mosquitoes, bees, bears, snakes,
possums, poison oak,
oh, and last, but not least, teenagers with guitars.
I'll see if it's available.
You know, if that study's real,
Leonard might come back smarter than you.
Are you trying to manipulate me? Yes.
Well done, it worked, we're going.
Yay!
(bags rustling) BERNADETTE: Come on, Raj,
give me a bag.
No, no, you're pregnant.
The only thing you carry
is our hope for a better tomorrow.
Hey, where you been?
Uh, Raj took me to the baby doctor
and then we swung by the grocery store.
(tires screeching on game) Did you get graham crackers?
I mean, are... what... is the baby okay?
Yes and yes.
(sighs)
I didn't know you needed help running errands today.
I didn't, but Raj volunteered.
Really?
Yeah, ever since you told him I was pregnant,
he's really been making a fuss over me.
Oh. Well, I guess that's kind of sweet.
Bernie, I just forwarded you a list
of the top five lactation consultants in Los Angeles.
I know my favorite,
but I'd love to hear what you think.
And it just got weird.
Hey. Amy's downstairs.
Okay, one sec.
Uh, what-what you got goin' on here?
I bought a baseball cap.
I can see that.
What team did you get?
Uh, Hufflepuff, from Harry Potter.
Well, we'll be in the woods.
I'm ready to go.
Anything you'd like to say to him?
Nice hat, Sheldon.
Thanks.
Why are you so mean to me?
(woman screaming in pain)
(screaming continues)
What the hell are you watching?
Raj found all these childbirth videos online.
This one is of a woman giving birth in a river.
Okay, that is the least Jewish thing
I've ever seen in my life.
You feel like Raj is getting a little carried away
with all the baby stuff?
I don't think so.
He just wants to be part of the experience.
All right, if you say so.
What's in the box?
Oh, it's an ultrasonic microphone
so we can hear the baby's heartbeat.
Oh.
That's cool.
Can we try it?
Actually, Raj ordered it.
He made me promise to wait till he was here.
So he can be...
part of the experience?
Yeah.
I'm surprised he let us conceive without him.
It's a sore spot-- don't bring it up.
It's so cute and rustic up here.
I know.
Did you see they still have a video rental place?
it's like Colonial Williamsburg.
Well...
cell service is down to one bar,
so if anyone needs medical attention
or to tell a stranger their political views are stupid,
now's the time.
Have you ever been off the grid before?
Once.
The battery ran out on my phone.
I had to wait for my iPad to turn on.
I was afraid he was gonna eat me.
Raj just pulled up.
I'm gonna say something to him.
Leave it alone. He means well.
So you don't think he needs to rein it in a little?
No, not really.
And you're not concerned
he's acting like somehow this is his kid, too?
He's just trying to be supportive.
Just supportive.
Not over-the-top in any way?
No.
KOOTHRAPPALI: Hello!
You saw him carrying that.
Astronauts saw him carrying that.
(gasps)
This place is great!
So nice of that doctor to just let you use it.
Well, she is taking me to an Indigo Girls concert,
so hold that thought.
Okay.
Well,
should we check each other for ticks?
Sheldon, all we did was walk in from the car.
Oh. Well, suit yourself.
Who wants to check me?
On the other hand, safety first.
(rain falling loudly)
Wow, it's really coming down.
This sucks.
And there goes our hike.
Oh, not our hike!
Now we have
to stay safe and warm.
You know, we could still go.
A little rain isn't gonna kill us.
Have you been outside in the rain with Sheldon?
No. You'll wish it would kill you.
So what do we do now?
They have some board games.
Eh, most of the Jenga pieces are missing
and the Scrabble only has seven tiles,
so unless you want to build an unimpressive structure
with the word "SHNERPF" next to it, move on.
Hey, let's light a fire.
Ooh, that sounds cozy.
I don't think I've lit a real fire before.
Ah, it's basic thermodynamics.
I'm sure we can figure that out.
I could stack the logs conically to facilitate airflow.
That would maximize oxygen for optimal combustion.
(fire whooshes) Right. So all we need is to...
Got it.
A scientist made that.
Look, Raj, you're my best friend in the world
and I really appreciate your enthusiasm about the baby.
Please, my pleasure.
And, of course, Howie and I
both want you to be a part of all this.
But we have to set some boundaries.
I don't understand.
The three of us aren't having this baby.
Just the two of us.
Oh...
Okay. Yeah, I get it.
I'll back off.
Thanks for understanding.
Of course.
I'll give you guys some space.
Let me just get this out of your way.
You need some help?
No, I got it.
(clattering)
(grunts)
Raj... Raj, wait.
Please, Bernadette.
Let me leave with my dignity.
(thumps)
Hey, you guys want to play a drinking game?
Oh, well now, well now, we'll never win.
You always play the drinking game.
Not the drinking game, a drinking game.
To be fair, good at both.
What's the game?
All right, it's called Never Have I Ever.
The rules are simple.
Someone says something they've never done,
but if you have done it, you take a drink.
I've never played that before.
(stammers) Hey, now, wait.
Have we started? Do I drink?
What is happening? Okay.
Calm down. I'll go first.
All right, let's see.
Never have I ever...
She's trying to think of something
she's never done before.
This could take a while.
Very funny.
Okay, never have I ever...
Yeah, you know what?
Let's just circle back.
Okay, I'll go.
Never have I ever been arrested.
So I drink.
No, it's only if you've done it.
Got it.
I can't believe you've been arrested.
I can't believe Penny hasn't.
Sheldon, what did you do?
Well, I'm not proud of it,
but... I jaywalked.
Oh, no, it's like a horror movie.
We're trapped in a cabin with a maniac.
I'm surprised you would do that.
No, I crossed in the middle of the street.
And normally, I wouldn't,
but I saw an aggressive-looking Girl Scout,
and it was the heart of cookie season.
Anyway, there was a police officer,
and he witnessed the whole thing.
What-- he arrested you for that?
(stammers) No, he didn't do anything.
So I said, "You just saw me jaywalk.
Why aren't you doing your job?"
You know?
"M-Maybe I should arrest you
for-for impersonating a police officer."
And then you got arrested.
Oh, and how.
I feel like I just made a horrible mistake.
Yeah.
But on the other hand,
I didn't kick him out of our lives.
I just asked him to back off a little.
Yeah.
What? Are you gonna cry?
(crying): Yeah!
Is it baby hormones or actually sad?
I can't tell anymore!
I'll go get him.
And bring back the bear!
This game's dangerous.
I could get you in trouble.
How?
Well, never have I ever
used Sheldon's toothbrush to clean the sink.
Fine, is that how you want to play this?
All right, never have I ever come up
with a nickname for my own genitals.
Never should've told you about Alvin and the Chipmunks.
AMY: Okay.
My turn.
Um...
Never have I ever
completely rocked my girlfriend's world in bed.
(stammers) Amy...
You know the rules.
Drink.
(clears throat)
Yeah, go ahead.
That's right.
All right, my turn.
Mm...
Oh, I know.
Never have I ever kept a secret bank account,
because I think my wife can't handle money.
Did I win?
I feel like I won.
I can't believe this.
You realize I make more money than you?
I don't, I know, but this isn't a big deal.
It's just a little savings I put aside.
We're married.
We're supposed to share everything.
What-- you mean, like, your massive credit card debt?
(door slams)
I'm calling it.
I won.
I appreciate the apology,
but it's really not necessary.
I overstepped my bounds.
No, Raj, you've been great.
I just, I need to start doing my part around here.
BERNADETTE: I hear that.
Well, if that's the case,
is there anything I can do to help?
Well, not right now.
But we could try out that microphone you got us,
and listen to the baby's heartbeat.
Really?
It's okay if I listen with you?!
Of course.
Can I squirt the ultrasound jelly on your stomach?
Hey, look at that.
It's weird again.
(door opens)
Okay, you have
every right to be mad.
And what you said is true.
You do make more money than me.
So I had no right to do what I did.
And I'm so sorry.
I hope you can forgive me.
How long have you had this secret account?
A couple years, but I just put a few bucks aside
every month for emergencies.
Well, how much you got in there?
$6,427.
$47 once my nana's birthday check gets here.
My God, Leonard, do you know
what I could do with that kind of money?
No, I do, and that's why I hid it.
What good is it if you don't use it?
Uh, uh, you have shoes you love, but never wear.
I have money I love,
but never spend.
We're kind of a cute couple that way.
Again,
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have kept it a secret.
Well, I have a secret I've been keeping from you, too.
Is it a secret bank account?
Because that would be awesome.
I hate my job.
Really?
Why?
Because I don't feel good
flirting with doctors for sales.
I mean, I know I make a lot of money.
But I haven't been happy for a while.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I know how important it is to you
that I'm having some success.
That's not true.
Okay, really? So you'd be fine if I went
back to acting and waiting tables again?
If that's what you want to do, yes.
Well, it's not what I want to do.
Oh, yes.
Doesn't matter what I want.
Look, this job is gonna get me out of debt.
So I'm gonna do the grown-up thing and see it through.
Well, that is the grown-up thing.
I guess.
I love you.
I love you, too.
You know,
never have I ever made love
in the forest while it was raining.
Well, guess I gotta drink.
All right, here we go.
(microphone droning)
I'm not hearing anything.
Well, give me a second.
Are you sure you can do this?
Hey, who found four dollars and change
on the beach with his metal detector?
I buried it there, so we could go home.
(heartbeat echoing, gasps)
Wait, that's it.
Wow.
Isn't that the best?
You guys made a person.
We did.
And I like to think I helped.
(whispering): You didn't.
SHELDON: Oh, let me see.
Oh, um, never have I ever
drunk milk past its expiration date.
Never have I ever
cancelled a dentist appointment.
Oh, uh, never have I ever
put my foot in the ocean.
Never have I ever
honked if I liked anything.
Oh!
Uh... never have I ever
thrown, caught or touched a Frisbee.
Never have I ever
put salt on my food
without trying it first.
Yeah...
Oh!
Never have I ever
pushed all the buttons in an elevator.
(gasps)
Well, we all have a past.
