Sheldon Cooper: I guess I'm watching Star Trek.
Mary Cooper: Want me to watch with you?
Sheldon Cooper: Sure. Let me catch you up. The Enterprise is traveling to miniar VII to resolve their war with the neighboring Vendikar.
Mary Cooper: Uh-huh.
Sheldon Cooper: But Kirk suspects that instead of having a real war, the miniaries and the Vendikaries are having a computer-simulated conflict.
Mary Cooper: Uh-huh.
Sheldon Cooper: In Kirk's opinion, by keeping the horrors of war at arm's length, they're simply prolonging it.
Mary Cooper: Let me ask you something.
Sheldon Cooper: Answers are my thing. Go for it.
Mary Cooper: Do you really believe in all this space alien stuff?
Sheldon Cooper: Well, it's simple probability theory. There are over a hundred billion stars in our galaxy. So it's likely that a few of them could support life, or even technological civilization.
Mary Cooper: And did Jesus die for their sins as well?
Sheldon Cooper: You have your stories, I have mine.
Mary Cooper: [door closes] Whew. Sounds like Georgie's home. George, wake up. Watch Star Trek with your son.
