00:00 Thank you for driving me to work.
00:02 You know this is my day off, Sheldon.
00:04 Oh, good. I'm not keeping you from anything.
00:06 Your check engine light is on.
00:12 Mm-hmm.
00:14 Typically that's an indicator to, you know, check your engine.
00:17 It's fine. It's been on for like a month.
00:20 Well, actually, that would be all the more reason to, you know, check your engine.
00:26 Sheldon, it's fine.
00:28 If it were fine, the light wouldn't be on.
00:30 That's why the manufacturer installed that light, to let you know it's not fine.
00:33 I don't know. Maybe the light's broken.
00:36 Is there a check the check engine light light?
00:39 Oh.
00:43 What?
00:44 Studies have shown that performing tasks, such as eating, talking on a cell phone,
00:48 or drinking coffee while driving, reduces one's reaction time by the same factor as an ounce of alcohol.
00:53 Do you have any alcohol?
00:55 Of course not.
00:56 Too bad.
00:58 How about we just have a little quiet time now?
01:00 All right.
01:02 I'm sorry. I'm finding your reckless nonchalance regarding the check engine light to be very troubling.
01:12 Get out.
01:18 Well, I have to tell you that while I do have a theoretical understanding of the workings of an internal combustion engine,
01:25 I'm not sure I'm capable of performing diagnostics.
01:27 I said get out.
01:29 Okay. I'll give it a shot.
01:33 Okay. I'll give it a shot.
