00:07:06,164 --> 00:07:08,949
where to get the necessary
radioactive material.
182
00:07:08,992 --> 00:07:12,474
Oh. Do you happen to have
any unexploded atomic bombs?
183
00:07:12,518 --> 00:07:14,172
Not a one.
184
00:07:14,215 --> 00:07:15,173
Shoot.
185
00:07:15,216 --> 00:07:17,610
What about an X-ray machine?
186
00:07:17,653 --> 00:07:19,090
Nope.
187
00:07:19,133 --> 00:07:20,613

You're just a kid.

Interesting.
192

196

a school project,
197
00:07:38,544 --> 00:07:40,285

198

203
00:07:53,167 --> 00:07:55,126
Oh, nothing.
He just had a science query.
204

I called him ten minutes ago.
207

I don't want to talk about it.

to like everybody.
235

I just can't stop thinking
about her with another guy,
236
00:09:10,114 --> 00:09:11,899

something?

Brutal.

to get ahead of myself,

[indistinct chatter]
364
00:14:07,315 --> 00:14:09,056
Champagne?
365
00:14:09,404 --> 00:14:10,928
Oh, I'm fine, thank you.
366
00:14:10,971 --> 00:14:13,060
These are for me.
367
00:14:13,104 --> 00:14:14,496
Are-are you all right?
368
00:14:14,540 --> 00:14:16,411
No, I'm very nervous.
369
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:18,022
That's interesting.
370
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:20,024
Normally, I'm the one
who's unsure of himself
371
00:14:20,067 --> 00:14:21,460
in a social situation,
372
00:14:21,503 --> 00:14:22,853
but tonight, it's you.
373
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:25,029
[chuckles] Yeah.
Frickin' fascinating.
374
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:26,944
Dr. Sturgis, good to see you.
375
00:14:26,987 --> 00:14:28,380
Dr. Linkletter.
376
00:14:28,423 --> 00:14:30,643
Please meet my girlfriend,
377
00:14:30,686 --> 00:14:32,079
Connie Tucker.
378
00:14:32,123 --> 00:14:33,472
Nice to meet you, Dr. Tucker.
379
00:14:33,515 --> 00:14:34,995
I'm not a doctor.
380
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:36,344
But I would like to point out,
381
00:14:36,388 --> 00:14:37,606
she's quite real.
382
00:14:37,650 --> 00:14:38,651
I can see that.
383
00:14:38,694 --> 00:14:39,826
And our relationship
384
00:14:39,870 --> 00:14:41,306
is more
385
00:14:41,349 --> 00:14:43,438
than just friends. That's enough.
386
00:14:43,482 --> 00:14:44,439
In fact,
387
00:14:44,483 --> 00:14:46,311
it's flat-out erotic.
388
00:14:46,354 --> 00:14:47,878
Change the subject, John.
389
00:14:47,921 --> 00:14:50,489
You got it, girlfriend.
390
00:14:50,532 --> 00:14:51,533
Dr. Linkletter
391
00:14:51,577 --> 00:14:54,232
is working on an intriguing theory
392
00:14:54,275 --> 00:14:56,756
of quantum gravity.
393
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,584
Is that so?
He can explain it
394
00:14:58,627 --> 00:15:00,804
much better than I can.
395
00:15:00,847 --> 00:15:01,892
Are you familiar at all
396
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:03,589
with string theory?
397
00:15:03,632 --> 00:15:05,417
Remind me.
398
00:15:05,460 --> 00:15:07,506
Well, basically, it's a string
theoretic interpretation
399
00:15:07,549 --> 00:15:09,638
of the graviton.
400
00:15:09,682 --> 00:15:11,727
Every force is an exchange
of particles.
401
00:15:11,771 --> 00:15:14,469
Gravity is the exchange
of gravitons.
402
00:15:14,513 --> 00:15:16,558
Meemaw, are you even listening?
403
00:15:16,602 --> 00:15:17,646
MEEMAW: What?
404
00:15:17,690 --> 00:15:19,953
The graviton is a massless string.
405
00:15:19,997 --> 00:15:21,868
The graviton is a massless string.
406
00:15:21,912 --> 00:15:22,826
Wow!
407
00:15:22,869 --> 00:15:24,784
Well, yes, it is.
408
00:15:24,828 --> 00:15:25,567
[chuckles]
When did
409
00:15:25,611 --> 00:15:26,742
you learn that?
410
00:15:26,786 --> 00:15:29,049
I get around.
411
00:15:29,093 --> 00:15:31,051
In fact,
I would go so far as to say
412
00:15:31,095 --> 00:15:33,053
that every force is an exchange
of particles,
413
00:15:33,097 --> 00:15:35,795
and gravity is
an exchange of gravitons.
414
00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:36,752
Correct!
415
00:15:36,796 --> 00:15:38,624
Yes!
[laughs]
416
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:40,191
John, where have you been hiding her?
417
00:15:40,234 --> 00:15:41,409
I haven't.
418
00:15:41,453 --> 00:15:42,846
I've talked about her quite a bit,
419
00:15:42,889 --> 00:15:45,631
but you all said she was
a figment of my imagination.
420
00:15:45,674 --> 00:15:46,545
[chuckles]
421
00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:47,502
[chuckles]
She's dynamite.
422
00:15:47,546 --> 00:15:49,809
[Linkletter and Sturgis laugh]
423
00:15:49,853 --> 00:15:52,203
Hello. I'd like to speak
to Arthur Jeffries.
424
00:15:52,246 --> 00:15:54,118
He plays Professor Proton.
425
00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:55,902
But you probably know that,
426
00:15:55,946 --> 00:15:57,643
since you answer the phone
at the station
427
00:15:57,686 --> 00:16:01,386
that makes the show,
you lucky duck.
428
00:16:01,429 --> 00:16:03,910
Then I'd like to leave him
another message.
429
00:16:03,954 --> 00:16:05,912
Please tell him Sheldon Cooper
called again
430
00:16:05,956 --> 00:16:07,696
and that
I've successfully obtained
431
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:10,612
the radioactive material
that I'm looking for.
432
00:16:10,656 --> 00:16:12,788
Yes, americium-241.
433
00:16:12,832 --> 00:16:15,704
I have lots of it.
434
00:16:15,748 --> 00:16:18,055
I live at 5501 Grant Avenue,
435
00:16:18,098 --> 00:16:19,578
Medford, Texas.
436
00:16:19,621 --> 00:16:21,667
If you're sending me
an autographed picture,
437
00:16:21,710 --> 00:16:22,929
I already have one.
438
00:16:22,973 --> 00:16:25,714
Ooh, how about one of his bow ties?
439
00:16:25,758 --> 00:16:27,499
And then Bryan Larkin read the letter
440
00:16:27,542 --> 00:16:30,154
- out loud in the hall.
- No.
441
00:16:30,197 --> 00:16:32,330
Georgie used the word "love,"
like, 30 times.
442
00:16:32,373 --> 00:16:33,897
It was pathetic.
443
00:16:33,940 --> 00:16:35,115
That hurts to hear.
444
00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:36,900
Really?
I think it's hilarious.
445
00:16:38,989 --> 00:16:41,034
Also, my math teacher's pregnant.
446
00:16:41,078 --> 00:16:42,296
Well, that's nice.
447
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:45,299
[quietly]: It might not be her husband's.
448
00:16:46,474 --> 00:16:48,607
Whose do you think it is?
449
00:16:54,091 --> 00:16:55,483
Hey.
450
00:16:55,527 --> 00:16:56,745
Hey.
451
00:16:56,789 --> 00:16:57,964
Going somewhere?
452
00:16:58,008 --> 00:16:58,965
Alaska.
453
00:16:59,009 --> 00:17:00,967
Gonna work on the pipeline.
454
00:17:01,011 --> 00:17:01,968
Alaska, huh?
455
00:17:02,012 --> 00:17:03,883
That-That's pretty far.
456
00:17:03,927 --> 00:17:05,885
Not far enough, but it'll have to do.
457
00:17:05,929 --> 00:17:08,279
Look, Georgie,
458
00:17:08,322 --> 00:17:11,108
I know it feels bad right now, but...
459
00:17:11,151 --> 00:17:13,023
I promise it'll get better.
460
00:17:13,066 --> 00:17:14,720
How's it gonna get better?
461
00:17:14,763 --> 00:17:16,200
Veronica thinks I'm a jerk,
462
00:17:16,243 --> 00:17:18,637
and everyone in the school's
calling me Lovey Cooper.
463
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,552
Ooh, that is not a good name.
464
00:17:20,595 --> 00:17:23,163
It doesn't matter, 'cause I'm
never going back to that school.
465
00:17:23,207 --> 00:17:24,164
Listen to me.
466
00:17:24,208 --> 00:17:25,426
Hey.
467
00:17:27,907 --> 00:17:29,082
You're a good-looking kid,
468
00:17:29,126 --> 00:17:32,085
and you got a big heart.
469
00:17:32,129 --> 00:17:34,696
Once we get you
on a daily shower schedule,
470
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:36,524
the girls are gonna be lining up.
471
00:17:36,568 --> 00:17:37,699
I don't want girls.
472
00:17:37,743 --> 00:17:39,223
I want Veronica.
473
00:17:39,266 --> 00:17:41,138
Yeah, maybe you'll get her
and maybe you won't.
474
00:17:41,181 --> 00:17:43,140
But someday,
you'll find the woman
475
00:17:43,183 --> 00:17:44,663
who was really meant for you.
476
00:17:44,706 --> 00:17:46,317
You mean like Kathryn Dempsey?
477
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,709
Alaska's beautiful.
478
00:17:47,753 --> 00:17:49,450
How 'bout I go with you?
479
00:17:49,494 --> 00:17:51,800
Who's Kathryn Dempsey?
480
00:17:51,844 --> 00:17:52,976
I was 15 years...
481
00:17:53,019 --> 00:17:55,717
I was 15 years old!
482
00:17:55,761 --> 00:17:57,154
[Meemaw and Sturgis laugh]
483
00:17:57,197 --> 00:17:59,112
Connie, tell me,
484
00:17:59,156 --> 00:18:00,505
did you grow up in Texas?
485
00:18:00,548 --> 00:18:03,290
Took my first bath in a ten-gallon hat.
[Laughs]
486
00:18:03,334 --> 00:18:04,683
[laughs]
That's wonderful.
487
00:18:04,726 --> 00:18:07,599
My goodness, you're as funny
as you are beautiful.
488
00:18:07,642 --> 00:18:09,949
[stammers] That's a nice thing to say
489
00:18:09,993 --> 00:18:11,385
to your friend's girlfriend.
490
00:18:11,429 --> 00:18:12,821
STURGIS: Actually, I don't think
491
00:18:12,865 --> 00:18:13,822
it isso nice.
492
00:18:13,866 --> 00:18:15,476
If I didn't know any better,
493
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,740
I'd say you were sweet-talking
my date right in front of me.
494
00:18:18,784 --> 00:18:19,741
You're a pretty smart man, John.
495
00:18:19,785 --> 00:18:20,786
Trust your gut.
496
00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:23,093
Oh, look!

Shrimp cocktail.
Let's get some.
498
00:18:25,051 --> 00:18:26,792
Now, hang on.Hey. Take your hand off her,
499
00:18:26,835 --> 00:18:29,795
or there are gonna be
some severe consequences.
500
00:18:29,838 --> 00:18:31,536
Whoa, John, calm down.
501
00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:32,711
What do you see in this guy?
502
00:18:32,754 --> 00:18:33,625
All right, that's it!

Oh! [gasping]
506
00:18:38,456 --> 00:18:39,544
That's enough!
Both of you,

00:18:39,587 --> 00:18:41,067
just cool your jets.

00:18:41,111 --> 00:18:43,809
This isn't over, Dr. Linkletter!
509

Anytime, anyplace, Dr. Sturgis.
510
00:18:46,812 --> 00:18:49,336
And your graviton research
511
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:51,947
is mediocre at best!

Good morning, Mary.

I'm punishing him.

00:19:14,091 --> 00:19:14,831
What for?
523
00:19:14,874 --> 00:19:15,962
Nothing, really.

I couldn't stop.
