[first lines]

Howard Wolowitz:
[phone rings, Howard presses speaker-phone] Howard Wolowitz.

Dave Roeger:
Hey, Howard. Dave Roeger here at NASA. We need to talk about your upcoming mission.

Howard Wolowitz:
Yes, yes! I've been doing my pushups. I'm still stuck at nine, but... that's going all the way down with no-one holding me.

Dave Roeger:
That's great, uh, but that's not why I called. We've run into a bit of a snafu. Your Soyuz capsule failed the pressurization test, so, bottom line, mission's been scrubbed.

Howard Wolowitz:
[picks up handset] You're kidding. So what does that mean?

Howard Wolowitz:
Uh-huh.

Howard Wolowitz:
Uh-huh.

Howard Wolowitz:
Boy, I gotta tell you I'm really disappointed. This was my dream ever since I was a little kid.

Howard Wolowitz:
Okay, thanks for the call.

Howard Wolowitz:
Yeah, you too. [he hangs up]

Howard Wolowitz:
Yes! thank heavens! [laughs hysterically] I'm not going to die in space! Whoo, now I can die the way God intended; in my late fifties with a heartful of pastrami.
