Hello Sun - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bernard is trying to convince Manny he is insane, cornflakes suddenly appear stuck to Manny's dressing between shots. This is due to a short gag which was cut. (00:13:20)

Chalkboard: Can't.

Show generally

Question: Is there an episode where Bernard can't think of the word for a scanner or card reader or something and refers to it as a "beepitibeep"? Might have the wrong show entirely.

Chosen answer: You may be thinking of S3E1, "Manny Come Home", when Manny quits and gets a job at Goliath Books next door. The device they use to scan books, look up items, or even order muffins is referred to as the "Doo-Deedee-Doo," after the sound it makes when employees scan their cards in it.
