Step 1.

Watch scene with subtitles:

-keep an eye out for the other one.

• Hey, guys, this is my friend Zack.

• Hey.

• Hello.

• Whoa! Is that the laser?

It’s bitchin’.

• yes. In 1917, when Albert Einstein established the theoretic foundation for the laser in his paper Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung,;

his fondest hope was that the resultant device be bitchin’.

• Well, mission accomplished.

• Let me explain what we’re doing here.

Um, in 1969, the astronauts on Apollo 11 positioned reflectors on the surface of the moon, and we’re going to shoot a laser off one of them and let the light bounce back into this photomultiplier.

• Oh! That’s very cool.

• One question. How can you be sure it won’t blow up?

-The laser?

-The moon.

• See, now this is a man for Penny.

• Uh, that’s a great question,  Zack.

No, it’s not.

• Sheldon!  Play nice.

-Well it’s not a great question.

How could somebody possibly think we’re going to blow up the moon?

That’s a great question.

• Don’t worry about the moon.

We, we set our laser to stun.

• Smart.

• Now, we’ll be able to see the beam when it leaves, but it won’t be strong enough when it comes back to be seen by the naked eye.

• Naked.

• Right. Uh yeah, funny. Uh, that device there will measure the photons that return and let us see it on this computer.

• Raj, get them some glasses.

• Cool, it’s gonna be in 3-D?

• Preparing to fire laser at the moon.

• Make it so.

• There it is. There’s the spike!

• 2.5 seconds for the light to return.

That’s the moon!

We hit the moon!

• That’s your big experiment?

• All that for a line on the screen?

• Yeah, but, uh, think about what this represents.

The fact that we can do this is the only way of definitively proving that there are man-made objects on the moon, put there by a member of a species that only 60 years before had just invented the airplane.

• What species is that?

• I was wrong. Penny can do better.

Okay, guys, thank you, it’s been fun.

• Yeah, thanks. Should we invite them to the party?

• No, just keep walking.

He must be very skilled at coitus.
