Upon hearing that he and his girlfriend have won the Nobel Prize for physics, “Big Bang Theory” protagonist and notable worrywart Sheldon Cooper begins to panic that he might be dreaming.
So, his roommate slaps his face to prove that he is awake — and Cooper’s reaction while clasping his cheek is to scream, “We won the Nobel Prize!”
