__**Introduction **__ 　　Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both brilliant physicists working at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best friends and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues, mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science fiction movies or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with "popular" women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment next to Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend. __**Today's Episode **__ 　　The gang goes on a road trip to Big Sur where the guys, Bernadette and Amy are speaking at a symposium. Penny tags along as Amy's plus one for the free spa weekend that's promised. When Howard meets Bernadette's hulk of an ex-boyfriend, he becomes really insecure and they have a fight, throwing the hotel room arrangements into chaos. Rick Fox guest stars in this on as Bernadette's ex-boyfriend. __**Characters ** __ **Sheldon Cooper ** (played by //Jim Parsons //) ||< **Leonard Hofstadter **<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Johnny Galecki //) || **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Howard Wolowitz **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Simon Helberg //) || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Rajesh Koothrappali ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Kunal Nayyar //) ||< <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Penny ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Kaley Cuoco //) || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Bernadette Rostenkowski ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Melissa Rauch //) || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Amy Farrah Fowler ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Mayim Bialik //) ||< <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 新細明體; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Glenn ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">(played by //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Rick Fox //) ||   ||
