Lyrics & Translation

[English]

7 o' clock. Right on time.

It's not an accident.

I waited outside your door for 20 minutes.

Well, dinner's almost ready.

I must say, I was surprised you chose to

spend our date night in your apartment.

But as I mentioned, the Pasadena City Council

is debating longer crosswalk times.

And later, the Lego store is having a

midnight madness sale.

You ask anyone that's a hot date.

Tempting choices, but

I have something special planned for tonight.

What can be more special than having an

adequate amount of time to cross the street

on your way to buy a tiny Lego Indiana Jones?

With our friends moving forward in their relationships,

I've decided that we should make progress in ours as well.

Oh dear Lord.

Two years ago, we didn't even know each other.

And now I'm in your apartment after dark.

How much faster can this thing go?

I had a feeling you'd be reluctant.

Which is why I'm going to dip into my neurobiological bag of tricks.

Oh, you brain monkeys kill me. Dip away.

I have devised an experiment that I believe

will increase your feelings for me in an

accelerated time frame.

And how do you propose to do that?

I hope you're not thinking about some sort

of LSD thought control.

Because there's only one mind expanding drug

that this man enjoys.

And that's called school.

Human beings form emotional attachments as they grow up.

In your case, to your mother, superheroes, etc..

I'm going to attempt an experiment that will

get you to transfer those feelings to me.

Wow. Seems what's on the menu tonight is

malarkey with a big side of poppycock.

We'll see.

Let's start with a little romantic dinner music, shall we?

[Super Mario Brothers theme song plays]

Super Mario Brothers theme?

Yes.

I see what you're doing.

You're attempting to build on the work of Ebbinghaus's

by triggering an involuntary memory of me playing that game.

Admittedly, the happiest 600 hours of my childhood.

But it won't work.

Fine. There's no reason we still can't have a lovely dinner.

Why don't you have a seat?

Bu a dun dun dun dun dun.

Boing boing.

May I offer you something to drink?

You know I don't drink.

Not even Strawberry Quik.

I love Strawberry Quik.

That's my favorite pink fluid.

Narrowly beating out Pepto-Bismol.

Oh I know.

I think it will go nicely with what I have prepared

for dinner.

Spaghetti with little pieces of hot dog cut up in it!

Just like your mommy used to make.

Yummy, yummy.

We should do this more often.

Uh oh.

I'm sorry I did.

I crossed the line. I didn't mean to.

Who says something like that right in the middle of sex?

I don't know, it just came out.

People say weird things during sex all the time.

Okay, well, they sure as hell don't say that.

It was the heat of the moment.

No!

The heat of the moment is, "Oh, yeah, just like that."

Not, "Will you marry me?"

I'm sorry.

Just give me another chance.

Why? So you can crawl under the covers and go,

"Hey, baby. Want to go look for houses in neighborhoods with good schools?"

Again. I'm sorry.

You know, with Howard and Bernadette getting married,

I got caught up in a little wedding fever.

I take it back.

You can't take something like that back.

I mean, what are we even supposed to do now?

Okay. At some point, we'll look back.

And this is going to be a funny story.

Why don't we just start doing that now?

You're kidding.

No.

Do you remember

that time when I proposed to you in bed?

And you were all like, "What are you doing?"

That was so funny.

So funny.

It's not funny.

Give it a minute.
