He explains that Pemberton and Campbell's university is recommending the two of them and Sheldon, and they want Cal Tech to do the same. Sheldon returns home for dinner with Amy and reluctantly tells her that only three people can share a Nobel prize. Little do they know there's still 10 minutes left in the episode, and Sheldon's not going down without a fight. Sheldon storms out, but first he makes Pemberton and Campbell think he's on their side. They reason that they're all physicists since Amy is a neuroscientist, she doesn't belong. Sheldon wants Pemberton or Campbell to leave their names off the discovery, but neither's willing to budge. (Side note: When did this thing turn into a ride at Disneyland, where there's only room for a set amount of people in a row? Glad I never had Nobel ambitions.) But that's when Pemberton and Campbell drop another bombshell: Only three of them can be named to the discovery, not four. Sheldon's not thrilled-but if that's what it takes to win a Nobel, he's not going to say no. They eventually say they understand where Sheldon is coming from, but they're going to be part of this submission anyway. They deserve to live in Oscar the Grouch's trash can. They don't belong in a nice theater balcony. Campbell's all, "Yeah, that's not gonna happen." Pemberton snidely says, "Wouldn't that be something though!" Forget what I said about these two acting like Statler and Waldorf. Sheldon then tells Pemberton and Cambell not to steal his idea they can come up with their own.
