[English]

Sheldon! What do you want on your pizza!?

Still glad you came?

Actually, I am.

I don't want any pizza.

See? Pain in the ass.

Well, we can get something else.

I don't want anything. I'm not hungry.

Well, what's the matter?

My friends were supposed to play

Dungeons & Dragons with me,

but they cancelled.

Aw. Sorry.

We can play it with you.

Really?

Dale, that's nice, but...

I don't think you'll like it.

Afraid I might beat you?

Actually, there's no one winner. It's a cooperative game

where you use your imagination to explore a fantasy world

with the help of the Dungeon Master's preplanned scenarios

and the rolling of polyhedral dice.

Still sound fun?

Yeah.

Sorta.

I got it.

Anybody see you? No. And I didn't

recognize the guy behind the counter,

but I used an Italian accent just in case.

Please tell me you're joking.

(Italian accent): Oh, I'm-a no joking.

Oh, God.

Here. Do it. I can't do it here.

I have to pee on it.

Okay, fine.

Although we've done crazier stuff in this truck.

(starts engine)

Oh, by the way, I made reservations tonight

at that, uh, steakhouse on the Riverwalk.

Ooh, fancy. Well, yeah.

Nothing says fancy like a two-pound slab of meat.

Oh, shoot.

I didn't pack my dress shoes.

See, George? It might be helpful

if you mentioned some of these things ahead of time.

Here we go. Wayne's always doing stuff like this.

I'm glad to know it's not just us.

That's why I packed his shoes last night.

You did? Baby, you're the best.

Well, how can I be the best when you are?

It is just us.

So, how does this work?

You start by creating your character.

I want to be a Ninja Turtle Princess of Power.

Put me down for that, too.

You have to choose from one of the character classes.

There's thief, druid, paladin, wizard...

Ooh, wizard. I want that. All right.

Then I'll use my magic to turn me

into a Ninja Turtle Princess of Power.

No.

W-Wh-- Wait a minute. What's a paladin?

A paladin is a holy knight who crusades in the name of good.

Oh, I like that.

I want to be that.

Really? Yeah, I've been meaning

to do more crusading in the name of good.

Okay.

You say you got thief on that list?

I'll be a thief.

That sounds like fun.

Okay, I think I got it.

It takes ten minutes for the results.

You want me to go in with you?

To watch me pee on a stick?

I'm being supportive right now.

You could try the same.

(sighs)

(clock ticking)

(heart beating)

I'm pregnant. You sure I'm not too heavy?

No, I got it.

I guess it's time to do what people do

on their wedding night.

Georgie, we're gonna be parents.

We don't do that anymore.

Oh, right.

Besides, my water just broke all over your bed.

Dadgum it.

(door opens)

Stop having fun, and help me take care of these babies.

(babies bawling) But I just got home from my day job.

And I only have ten minutes till my night job.

That's ten minutes you could be helping.

No go change whichever this one is.

(babies continue bawling)

Georgie,

there's a band called Guns N' Roses on the phone.

Really?

Yeah. The guitarist hurt his hand,

and they want you to fill in.

Tell them I can't. I'm a dad now.

Okay.

(sighs) This is a long ten minutes.
