1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:02,601
Previously on Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:02,636 --> 00:00:04,403
I've been corresponding
with Dr. John Sturgis
3
00:00:04,438 --> 00:00:05,804
at East Texas Tech.
4
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:08,306
He said I could audit
his course.
5
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:09,574
I'm John Sturgis.
6
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:11,476
Sheldon invited me to dinner.
7
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:14,346
Spaghetti and hot dogs
is delightful.
8
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:15,647
You're only here temporarily?
9
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:17,582
That's the plan for now,
10
00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:21,319
but I could be enticed to stay.
11
00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:22,554
I do believe there
was subtext there.
12
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:23,922
Did you pick up on it?
13
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:28,660
Okay. I'll see you later.
14
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:30,328
Are you sure
you don't want to stay with me?
15
00:00:30,363 --> 00:00:33,031
I don't think so. I don't really
understand this stuff.
16
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:34,733
That's how I felt
when we watched Dirty Dancing,
17
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:36,034
and I stayed.
18
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:37,869
When Patrick Swayze
takes his shirt off in here,
19
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:39,938
I'll be back.
You have a good one.
20
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:49,347
Hello.
21
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:50,749
Hi.
22
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:53,085
Who are you?
23
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,286
I'm Paige.
24
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,088
I like your bow tie.
25
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:57,355
Thank you.
26
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:58,857
You seem awfully young,
Paige.
27
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:01,059
Are you with an adult
who's taking this class?
28
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:03,728
No. Dr. Sturgis heard
about my research
29
00:01:03,763 --> 00:01:05,897
on quantum chromodynamics
at high temperatures
30
00:01:05,932 --> 00:01:08,300
and invited me
to audit his course.
31
00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:09,501
Is that so?
32
00:01:09,536 --> 00:01:11,870
Yes. He's been super nice.
33
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:14,206
Interesting. Well,
just so we're clear,
34
00:01:14,241 --> 00:01:16,808
he's my mentor,
he's my meemaw's boyfriend,
35
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:19,711
and he had spaghetti
and hot dogs at my house.
36
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:22,848
(chuckling): The spaghetti
goes on the hot dogs?
37
00:01:22,883 --> 00:01:24,049
No.
38
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:25,684
You realize
this is a very advanced class.
39
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:27,119
We'll be discussing
40
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:29,354
deriving nuclear physics
from the quark model.
41
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:32,290
Do you know if he'll be doing
a full color octet calculation
42
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:34,226
with matrix manipulations?
43
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:36,161
I do not.
44
00:01:36,196 --> 00:01:38,930
Do you know how to differentiate
under the integral sign?
45
00:01:38,965 --> 00:01:40,665
No.
46
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,368
(chuckles):
Well, do you know anything?
47
00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:46,105

I'm ten.

I'm ten, too.

March 17.
59
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:21,673
I'm the youngest person
in this class.
60
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,609
(chuckles):
That's funny.
61
00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:28,180
Oh, good.
62
00:02:28,215 --> 00:02:29,514
I see you two have met.
63
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:31,183
I'm younger than him.
64
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:34,052
How come you never mentioned
she was coming to this class?
65
00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:36,421
I thought it would be
a fun surprise.
66
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:37,956
I don't like surprises.
67
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:39,291
Neither do I.
68
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:40,725
Then why did you do it?
69
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,928
Some people like surprises.
70
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:44,329
I love surprises.
71
00:02:44,364 --> 00:02:45,730
Did you enjoy this one?
72
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:49,334
Yes.
A 50% success rate.
73
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:51,403
Not bad. Let's get started.
74
00:02:51,438 --> 00:02:55,073
ADULT SHELDON: Not since sharing
a uterus with my twin sister
75
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:58,476
have I been so unhappy

Awful quiet back there.
80

I'm having an emotion
I'm unfamiliar with.
81
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:16,261
Hmm. Think it might
have something to do
82
00:03:16,296 --> 00:03:17,462
with your new classmate?
83
00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:18,897
It's possible.
84
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:21,233
She's the only variable
in the social equation.
85
00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:23,868
So what are you feeling?
86
00:03:23,903 --> 00:03:25,503
My face is hot,
87
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:27,172
I've a knot in my stomach,
88
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:29,774
and I'm resisting the urge
to kick your seat right now.
89
00:03:29,809 --> 00:03:31,910
I'm thinking it
might be jealousy.
90
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:33,678
No, that's not in my nature.
91
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:35,780
All right, let's go through
all the emotions.
92
00:03:35,815 --> 00:03:37,882
I'm looking at your face,
93
00:03:37,917 --> 00:03:40,118
so I'm gonna rule out happy.
94
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,786
Are you sad?
95
00:03:41,821 --> 00:03:43,622
No, there's too much anger
in there.
96
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:44,990
Oh, well, maybe you're angry.
97
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:46,825
No, there's too much sad
in there.
98
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:48,526
Maybe you got a little crush
on her.
99
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:50,362
Do you want me
to kick your seat?
100
00:03:50,397 --> 00:03:52,264
I don't know, Moonpie.
101
00:03:52,299 --> 00:03:54,799
I'm still thinking
it might be jealousy.
102
00:03:54,834 --> 00:03:58,169
Give me one reason
why I would be jealous.
103
00:03:58,204 --> 00:04:00,772
Well, Dr. Sturgis
means a lot to you,
104
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:02,774
and now he's paying
attention to somebody else.
105
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:04,843
You're used to being
the only smart kid around,
106
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:06,878
and now there's another.
107
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:08,647
Oh, and there's
the possibility...
108
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:10,282
I said one reason, thank you.
109
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:12,717

110
00:04:12,752 --> 00:04:14,886

111
00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:17,522
Hello?
112
00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:18,723
STURGIS (on phone):
Hello, Mary.
113
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,725
This is John Sturgis,
114
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,561
Sheldon's professor
and your mother's lover.
115
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:26,364
Hi. And "John"
was more than enough.
116
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,634
I was calling because there's
a new student in my class
117
00:04:29,669 --> 00:04:31,069
who's Sheldon's age.
118
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:32,437
No kidding.
119
00:04:32,472 --> 00:04:36,508
Her mother wondered if I could
put you two in contact
120
00:04:36,543 --> 00:04:38,443
since you have so much
in common.
121
00:04:38,478 --> 00:04:41,146
Oh, of course.
122
00:04:41,181 --> 00:04:42,447
Excellent.
123
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:44,482
I'll give you the number
when you're ready.
124
00:04:44,517 --> 00:04:46,017
Um...
125
00:04:46,052 --> 00:04:48,586
I am ready.
126
00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:53,525
409-356-6049.
127
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,493
John?
128
00:04:55,528 --> 00:04:56,695
Yes?
129
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:58,096
That's my number.
130
00:04:58,131 --> 00:04:59,297
(laughs)
131
00:04:59,332 --> 00:05:01,199
So it is!
132
00:05:04,270 --> 00:05:05,870
This is so exciting.
133
00:05:05,905 --> 00:05:08,340
Don't you understand
what this means?
134
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:11,710
Rather than me feel dumb,
how about you just tell me?
135
00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:15,146
These are parents
we can actually relate to.
136
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:17,882
Yeah, sure.
All the times we wonder
137
00:05:17,917 --> 00:05:20,385
if we're doing right by Sheldon
or how to handle him,
138
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:22,620
we finally have someone
to compare notes with.
139
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:23,922
There's notes?
140
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:25,357
(chuckles):
I just been winging it.
141
00:05:25,392 --> 00:05:27,726
I'm gonna call her right now.
Sounds good.
142
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:29,060
(squeals)
143
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,895
Oh, thank you, Lord,
for connecting us
144
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:33,332
with the parents
of another special child.
145
00:05:36,536 --> 00:05:39,604
You kids are special, too.
146
00:05:40,473 --> 00:05:42,006
Do you feel special?
147
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:44,209
At least
I'm the only daughter.
148
00:05:44,244 --> 00:05:45,877
You got nothing.
149
00:05:45,912 --> 00:05:47,545
SHELDON:
And she's such a know-it-all.
150
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:48,947
Yeah, you mentioned that.
151
00:05:48,982 --> 00:05:50,648
I'm surprised her
arm wasn't sore
152
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:52,183
from raising her hand so much.
153
00:05:52,218 --> 00:05:53,251
Yep, sure.
154
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,220
And who goes to college
with stickers
155
00:05:55,255 --> 00:05:56,755
on their notepad?
156
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:57,956
I don't know.
157
00:05:57,991 --> 00:05:59,724
Unicorn stickers.
158
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:01,593
And we're home.
159
00:06:01,628 --> 00:06:03,061
Hey, Shelly.
160
00:06:03,096 --> 00:06:04,829
Guess who's coming
over tomorrow?
161
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:07,465
Your new friend Paige.
162
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,634
Okay, I'm gonna go.
163
00:06:14,474 --> 00:06:17,776
Come on, Shelly. Maybe
you'll end up being friends.
164
00:06:17,811 --> 00:06:19,010
I don't like her,
165
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:20,578
I'm not going to like her,
and Tam is my friend.
166
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:21,880
I don't need another one.
167
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:23,815
You can have more
than one friend.
168
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:26,151
I'm sure Tam
has other friends.
169
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:27,685
No, I'm all he's got.
170
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,988
And even I avoid him
half the time.
171
00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:32,190
Also, you don't have
any friends.
172
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:33,958
Why are you so worried about me?
173
00:06:33,993 --> 00:06:36,194
I have friends.
174
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:39,097
Then how come the only person
who ever comes over is Meemaw?
175
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,298
Because...
176
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:41,966
Okay, this isn't about me.
177
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:45,203
So Paige didn't make a
good first impression,
178
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:46,504
but that can change.
179
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:49,874
What's that new Star Trek show?
180
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:51,676
Next Generation?
181
00:06:51,711 --> 00:06:54,045
When that first came on,
you said a new Star Trek
182
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,614
without Dr. Spock
could never be good,
183
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:58,850
but I've seen you watching it.
184
00:06:58,885 --> 00:07:01,352
Well, first of all,
it's Mr. Spock.
185
00:07:01,387 --> 00:07:03,822
Dr. Spock writes books
about babies.
186
00:07:03,857 --> 00:07:05,123
My apologies.
187
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:07,325
And second of all,
Paige isn't a TV show.
188
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,495
She's a person, and we all know
how I feel about people.
189
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:12,097
(blows raspberry)
190
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:17,001
(sighs)
191
00:07:17,036 --> 00:07:18,203
Okay, look.
192
00:07:18,238 --> 00:07:19,571
You're right.
193
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:25,710
I don't have many friends,
194
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:29,848
so I was hoping
to get to know Paige's mom.
195
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,587
But if it makes you
uncomfortable,
196
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:38,523
then I will call her
and cancel.
197
00:07:42,395 --> 00:07:45,029
I'll think about it.
198
00:07:45,064 --> 00:07:47,866
Thank you, baby.
199
00:07:47,901 --> 00:07:50,301
ADULT SHELDON: Guilt
and jealousy in the same day.
200
00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:52,737
I slept hard that night.
201
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,907
Mmm.
202
00:07:55,942 --> 00:08:00,178
Did you know that there's a type
of vanilla flavoring
203
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:02,547
derived from the anal glands
204
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:04,115
of the North American beaver?
205
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:06,284
That seems like a fact
you could have shared
206
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:07,652
before we started eating.
207
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:09,387
It isn't used very often.
208
00:08:09,422 --> 00:08:13,591
I understand it's difficult
to, uh, milk the little sacs.
209
00:08:13,626 --> 00:08:16,294
Cool. Okay, new topic.
210
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:18,396
Let's talk about Sheldon.
211
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:20,365
Wonderful. What about him?
212
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,035
He's having kind of a hard time
with the new girl in your class.
213
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:25,737
Really? Why?
214
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:28,573
He's jealous of the attention
you're paying her.
215
00:08:28,608 --> 00:08:31,209
Well, she's remarkable.
216
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:33,011
You see that? Less of that.
217
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:35,079
But I think
he's remarkable, too.
218
00:08:35,114 --> 00:08:37,115
Perfect. More of that,
less of the other one.
219
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,850
Understood.
220
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:41,619
See, this is why
we're great together.
221
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:44,088
You teach me
about social etiquette,
222
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:46,724
and I teach you
about beaver anuses.
223
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:48,726
(chuckles):
It is magical.
224
00:08:48,761 --> 00:08:52,697
Did you know "ani"
is also acceptable
225
00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:54,465
as the plural of "anus"?
226
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,968
And the magic continues.
227
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:59,237
(chuckles)
228
00:09:00,873 --> 00:09:02,507
SPOCK: Must have been most
difficult for you to share.
229
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:04,509
ADULT SHELDON: The thought
of spending an afternoon
230
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,544
with Paige seemed excruciating,
231
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:08,546
but I wanted
to make my mother happy.
232
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:10,381
I was torn.
233
00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:12,250
The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,
234
00:09:12,285 --> 00:09:14,385
is what keeps us healthy--
235
00:09:14,420 --> 00:09:16,120
emotionally healthy, that is.
236
00:09:16,155 --> 00:09:19,757
ADULT SHELDON: Luckily, the wise
words of Gene Roddenberry
237
00:09:19,792 --> 00:09:21,759
flatly delivered
by Leonard Nimoy
238
00:09:21,794 --> 00:09:23,494
resolved my dilemma.
239
00:09:23,529 --> 00:09:25,196
That may be, Doctor.
240
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,098
However, I have noted
241
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:31,269
that the healthy release
of emotion
242
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:34,205
is frequently very unhealthy.
243
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,875
I realized if Mr. Spock
could rise above his emotions
244
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:40,244
while the fate of the
Enterprise hung in the balance,
245
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:43,381
certainly I could tolerate
Paige for a few hours.
246
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,084
GEORGE JR.: I'm not
watching this crap.
247
00:09:46,119 --> 00:09:47,518
Why do I listen to you?
248
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:51,022
WOMAN: Tony, this is going
to help you choose a major.
249
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:53,358
This test is designed
to help you focus.
(exhales)
250
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:55,059
TONY: I know, but what if it
says all I'm good at is...
251
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:56,327
What are you doing?
252
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:58,529
Suppressing my emotions.
253
00:09:58,564 --> 00:10:00,565
Oh, yeah? Suppress this.
254
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,966
(belches)
255
00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:03,735
(blows)
256
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,904
(whispers):
Hot dogs.
257
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:10,041
♪ ♪
258
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:12,944
ADULT SHELDON: Vulcans use
a technique called Kolinahr
259
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:14,212
to suppress their emotions.
260
00:10:14,247 --> 00:10:15,880
MARY: Sheldon,
they're here!
261
00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:17,715
Obviously, I wasn't a Vulcan.
262
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,250
So I did the next best thing:
263
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,886
took my feelings
and shoved them down so far
264
00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:23,621
they may have been lost
forever.
265
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:25,723
Hi, Sheldon!
266
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:27,692
The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,
267
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,727
is what keeps us healthy.
268
00:10:29,762 --> 00:10:32,664
Dr. McCoy was an idiot.
269
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,268
Well, you just have
a beautiful home.
270
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,704
Thank you.
Can I interest anyone
271
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:41,506
in something stronger
than iced tea?
272
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:43,441
Oh, well, I'll take a beer
if you have one.
273
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,109
Don't worry.
He's personally keeping
274
00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:47,812
the Lone Star Brewing Company
in business.
275
00:10:47,847 --> 00:10:48,813
(laughing)
276
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:50,415
They did send me a belt buckle.
277
00:10:50,450 --> 00:10:52,417
(chuckling)
Be right back.
278
00:10:52,452 --> 00:10:55,553
So, Barry, uh,
Linda tells me
279
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:57,288
you're a dentist?
Uh, yes.
280
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:58,756
I have a practice up
in Jasper.
281
00:10:58,791 --> 00:11:01,592
Uh, Paige actually does some
of the bookkeeping for us.
282
00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:02,994
That's so funny.
283
00:11:03,029 --> 00:11:04,429
Sheldon does our taxes.
284
00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:06,464
Oh!
(chuckles)
Yeah, we used to pay her
285
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:07,699
in stickers,
but, this year,
286
00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:09,367
she actually started
asking for money.
287
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:10,635
Well, don't let Sheldon
hear that.
288
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:11,936
We pay him in binder clips.
289
00:11:11,971 --> 00:11:13,938
(chuckles)
He loves being
organized.
290
00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:15,339
Boy, does he.
291
00:11:15,374 --> 00:11:17,141
We can't go to the grocery store
without him making sure
292
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,243
that all the labels
are facing the right way.
293
00:11:19,278 --> 00:11:22,847
Oh, the stock boys there
are always so happy to see him.
294
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:23,848
(laughing)
295
00:11:23,883 --> 00:11:25,216
That's adorable.
Well,
296
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:27,251
it wasn't adorable
when we redid our shower
297
00:11:27,286 --> 00:11:30,455
and he wouldn't use it 'cause
two of the tiles were crooked.
298
00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:31,723
He took baths
in the sink
299
00:11:31,758 --> 00:11:33,191
until we got it fixed.
300
00:11:33,226 --> 00:11:34,892
(laughing)
301
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:38,096
So does Paige do
any quirky stuff like that?
302
00:11:39,232 --> 00:11:41,466
No.
Not really.
303
00:11:41,501 --> 00:11:42,834
Oh.
304
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:46,871
Now, since we'll be spending
a few hours together,
305
00:11:46,906 --> 00:11:49,407
I've created a list of
activities to keep us occupied.
306
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:50,775
We'll start with
a tour of my room,
307
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:52,777
then board games,
and, if time permits,
308
00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:55,279
you can look at
and not touch my trains.
309
00:11:55,314 --> 00:11:56,714
Oh, My Little Pony.
310
00:11:56,749 --> 00:11:58,649
I love My Little Pony.
311
00:11:58,684 --> 00:12:01,018
That's my sister's,
and it's not part of the tour.
312
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:03,087
I share a room
with my sister, too.
313
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:04,522
It's super fun.
314
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:05,723
You're wrong.
315
00:12:05,758 --> 00:12:08,226
Now, over here, we have my desk.
316
00:12:08,261 --> 00:12:11,329
This is my computer.
That's my mouse.
317
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:14,232
This is my printer. This is the
paper that goes in the printer.
318
00:12:14,267 --> 00:12:16,300
This is a box of extra paper
319
00:12:16,335 --> 00:12:17,902
that also goes
in the printer.
320
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:22,140
And this is my signed picture
of Professor Proton.
321
00:12:23,709 --> 00:12:24,909
Do you watch his show?
322
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:27,378
No. I don't
really like it.
323
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:29,247
You don't?
324
00:12:29,282 --> 00:12:30,548
I think he's boring.
325
00:12:31,617 --> 00:12:33,818
And he dumbs everything down.
326
00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:36,754
ADULT SHELDON: Come on,
Kolinahr, don't fail me now.
327
00:12:36,789 --> 00:12:39,791
And next on the tour,
we have...
328
00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:41,526
a lamp.
329
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,595
(sighs)
330
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:47,198
(quietly): This is not
making me feel better.
331
00:12:47,233 --> 00:12:48,499
Their kid is perfect.
332
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:49,867
And so is ours.
333
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:52,270
So we're lying to
each other. Fine.
334
00:12:52,305 --> 00:12:54,672
It's just nice to get to know
another family
335
00:12:54,707 --> 00:12:57,041
who's in a similar situation
as us.
336
00:12:57,076 --> 00:12:59,277
And we're still lying.
(sighs)
337
00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:04,916
What grade
are you in?
338
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:06,484
Eighth.
339
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:07,885
You?
340
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,420
Tenth.
341
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:10,822
Cool.
342
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,858
Nobody asked, but fourth.
343
00:13:16,295 --> 00:13:17,728
Why do grownups do this?
344
00:13:17,763 --> 00:13:19,964
They love to stick random kids
together
345
00:13:19,999 --> 00:13:22,066
and expect them
to just be friends.
346
00:13:22,101 --> 00:13:24,235
I know. I hate that.
347
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:25,436
Fresh Prince is right.
348
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:27,038
Parents just don't understand.
349
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:28,873
(chuckles)
I love that song.
350
00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:30,308
MISSY: I have a
cassette of it,
351
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:32,577
but I recorded it off the radio.
352
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:33,878
You can hear Sheldon
in the background
353
00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:36,948
saying stuff
about Sir Isaac Neutron.
354
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,184
Ugh, my sister's
always talking about him.
355
00:13:40,219 --> 00:13:41,519
I don't know why.
356
00:13:41,554 --> 00:13:43,120
I think he's dead.
357
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:45,456
You have no idea
how much it sucks
358
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,058
to have a brother
like him.
359
00:13:47,093 --> 00:13:49,126
Believe it or not,
he's in my class.
360
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:52,063
My parents sent Paige
to a private school.
361
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:55,099
Cool. We're too
poor for that.
362
00:13:58,571 --> 00:13:59,804
(sighs)
363
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:03,140
Does Sheldon
make you feel stupid?
364
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:05,409
Nah, I'm smart in other ways.
365
00:14:05,444 --> 00:14:06,878
Me, too.
366
00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:08,613
Hey, I saw an old TV
in the alley.
367
00:14:08,648 --> 00:14:09,914
Want to go throw rocks at it?
368
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:12,283
Cool!
Hell yeah!
Let's do it.
369
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:15,720
We could play traditional chess.
370
00:14:15,755 --> 00:14:17,321
Or if you're interested,
we could play a variant
371
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:19,357
with a new piece I invented.
372
00:14:19,392 --> 00:14:20,625
That sounds fun.
373
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,426
What's the new piece?
374
00:14:22,461 --> 00:14:23,895
A wizard.
375
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:25,563
The wizard cannot be taken,
and, at any point,
376
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:29,033
he can teleport and switch
places with any other piece.
377
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,235
Yes, but there's
an obvious flaw.
378
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:34,105
What flaw?
Well, any time
anyone is checkmated,
379
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:36,741
they can simply have the wizard
and their king switch places.
380
00:14:36,776 --> 00:14:38,910
So the game will never end.
381
00:14:38,945 --> 00:14:42,013
I knew that.
You passed my test.
382
00:14:43,282 --> 00:14:44,949
We told Paige
that if she won
383
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:46,584
the regional spelling bee,
she could get a puppy.
384
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:47,919
We ended up with two,
385
00:14:47,954 --> 00:14:49,987
'cause she won twice.
(chuckles)
386
00:14:50,022 --> 00:14:52,056
(chuckles):
Fun! That-That's fun.
387
00:14:53,025 --> 00:14:54,325
BARRY:
All right,
388
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,593
that's enough about Paige.
389
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:57,595
So, George, I know you're
390
00:14:57,630 --> 00:14:58,796
a football coach.
391
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:00,064
What about you, Mary?
392
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:01,832
I work part-time at the church.
393
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:03,167
Oh.
Oh, that's so nice.
394
00:15:03,202 --> 00:15:04,769
I used to work at the
practice with Barry,
395
00:15:04,804 --> 00:15:06,871
but I had to quit
once Paige's schedule
396
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,072
started to get busy.
Mm.
397
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:09,473
Well, that's understandable.
398
00:15:09,508 --> 00:15:12,343
A unique child
can require a lot of attention.
399
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:13,544
(Barry chuckles)
400
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,613
Mm. Try all
the attention. Hmm?
401
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:18,649
(chuckles): Okay. You know
that's not true, Barry.
Well...
402
00:15:18,684 --> 00:15:20,051
(chuckles)
She's...
403
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:21,352
she's right. It's not.
404
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:23,220
Although I did spend
Father's Day alone
405
00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:25,523
'cause she took Paige
to a robotics show.
406
00:15:25,558 --> 00:15:26,991
Okay. That's
enough, Barry.
407
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:28,726
They don't need
to hear all this.
408
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:30,261
(chuckles)
GEORGE SR.: That's okay.
409
00:15:30,296 --> 00:15:31,829
(stammers) That's why
we're getting together,
410
00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:34,432
you know, talk about
this kind of stuff.
411
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:37,501
Barry, it sounds like
you might be feeling left out.
412
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:38,736
Oh.
(chuckles) No.
413
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:40,137
(laughs)
414
00:15:40,172 --> 00:15:41,339
Sometimes I do.
415
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:43,307
And it's not just me.
It's Erica, too.
416
00:15:43,342 --> 00:15:45,943
Oh, now he's just
being dramatic.
417
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,244
Erica gets a lot
of attention,
418
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,714
and she's just a joy.
(chuckles)
419
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:53,651
Dang it, the
screen won't break.
420
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,420
Bet it'll break
if we blow it up.
421
00:16:00,493 --> 00:16:03,027
(whispers):
I love her.
422
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:04,428
Fine, you're right.
423
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:05,629
Erica's doing just great.
424
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:07,331
Nothing to worry about there.
425
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:08,766
(chuckles)
426
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:13,037
ERICA:
Oh, come on.
427
00:16:13,939 --> 00:16:16,474
You got any matches?
428
00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:17,909
Be right back.
429
00:16:23,049 --> 00:16:25,416
While she's gone,
you want to make out?
430
00:16:25,451 --> 00:16:26,784
Sure.
431
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:30,488
You actually believe
in the multiverse theory?
432
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:31,689
Very much so.
433
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:33,357
It's the most elegant
interpretation
434
00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:35,059
of quantum mechanics.
435
00:16:35,094 --> 00:16:38,496
So you really think there are
an infinite number of universes?
436
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:41,432
Stephen Hawking believes it,
so, yes, I do.
437
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:44,935
Well, if there are
an infinite number of universes,
438
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:47,571
I think that theory's dumb
in all of them.
439
00:16:47,606 --> 00:16:49,907
(chuckles)
440
00:16:49,942 --> 00:16:51,375
This is fun.
441
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:52,810
I don't get to have
discussions like this
442
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,245
with kids at my school.
443
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,613
Do you?
444
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:58,249
No.
445
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:08,292
Do you ever wish you were
just like everyone else?
446
00:17:09,395 --> 00:17:10,795
Not at all.
447
00:17:10,830 --> 00:17:12,329
(chuckles)
Me neither.
448
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:14,799
I love being smarter
than everyone. (chuckles)
449
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:16,400
Me, too.
450
00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:18,302
ADULT SHELDON: I started
to think that Paige and I
451
00:17:18,337 --> 00:17:20,204
might have more in common
than I thought.
452
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,972
Maybe my mother was right.
453
00:17:22,007 --> 00:17:25,676
I really did just need
to get to know her better.
454
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:27,278
Checkmate!
455
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:29,447
You lose.
(chuckles)
456
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,048
KIRK: Red alert.
(alarm sounding)
457
00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:33,117
Phasers stand by to fire
on my order.
458
00:17:33,152 --> 00:17:35,553
Guess that makes
me the smartest.
459
00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:37,788
ADULT SHELDON: I don't know
if ten-year-old Spock
460
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:39,190
ever flipped a chess board,
461
00:17:39,225 --> 00:17:41,992
but ten-year-old Sheldon
sure did.
462
00:17:42,027 --> 00:17:45,129
(alarm sounding)
(Star Trek fight music playing)
463
00:17:46,298 --> 00:17:48,065
(Barry and Linda
bickering indistinctly)
464
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,968
Got to say, I'm glad
we invited 'em over.
465
00:17:51,003 --> 00:17:53,270
(clinking)
Don't you get him another beer.
466
00:17:53,305 --> 00:17:55,039
Come on. You love this
and you know it.
467
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:57,842
They're as messed up as we are.
468
00:17:57,877 --> 00:18:00,578
Fine. But one more
and that's it.
469
00:18:00,613 --> 00:18:01,912
(loud boom)
(gasps)
470
00:18:01,947 --> 00:18:03,514
GEORGE JR.:
Whoa!
ERICA: Yes!
471
00:18:03,549 --> 00:18:06,016
MISSY:
Holy crap!
472
00:18:06,051 --> 00:18:08,553
Don't you--
Go out there and check!
473
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,492
Now, does anyone know
what happens to quarks
474
00:18:14,527 --> 00:18:15,693
when we combine them
475
00:18:15,728 --> 00:18:18,596
to make mesons and baryons?
476
00:18:19,798 --> 00:18:21,232
Yes, Paige.
477
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:22,967
We can ignore
the particle masses
478
00:18:23,002 --> 00:18:24,935
at the individual quark level.
479
00:18:24,970 --> 00:18:26,770
Correct.
(chuckles): You
480
00:18:26,805 --> 00:18:28,272
are really...
481
00:18:30,342 --> 00:18:33,377
He's jealous of you
paying attention to her.
482
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,780
That was correct, Paige.
483
00:18:36,815 --> 00:18:38,782
And, Sheldon,
484
00:18:38,817 --> 00:18:41,652
is that a new bow tie?
485
00:18:41,687 --> 00:18:43,787
It is.
486
00:18:43,822 --> 00:18:45,489
Lookin' sharp!
487
00:18:45,524 --> 00:18:47,424
Thanks.
488
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:49,026
That was a close one.
489
00:18:49,061 --> 00:18:51,162
As I was saying,
we only...
