1
00:00:02,227 --> 00:00:05,620
It's typical for
young people to admire rock stars.
2
00:00:05,664 --> 00:00:08,490
For my sister,
it was Cyndi Lauper.
3
00:00:11,367 --> 00:00:13,367
For my brother,
it was Bon Jovi.
4
00:00:13,477 --> 00:00:15,443
Well, Jon, we look good.

00:00:15,529 --> 00:00:17,828
♪ Oh, we're livin' on... ♪
6
00:00:18,995 --> 00:00:22,921
For me, the rock star
I admired most was...
7
00:00:23,222 --> 00:00:24,882
Albert Einstein.
8
00:00:27,548 --> 00:00:30,648
Did you know Einstein
loved playing the violin?
9
00:00:30,734 --> 00:00:31,953
So?
10
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:34,992
He believed music helped him
formulate his theories.
11
00:00:35,257 --> 00:00:36,471
So?
12
00:00:36,594 --> 00:00:38,840
Einstein was arguably
the greatest scientific mind
13
00:00:38,925 --> 00:00:40,234
of the 20th century.
14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,719
If music helped him,
maybe it could help me.
15
00:00:42,943 --> 00:00:44,423
So?
16
00:00:45,375 --> 00:00:47,160
I got to go talk to my mom.
17
00:00:47,594 --> 00:00:49,067
- Everything okay?
- Yeah,
18
00:00:49,153 --> 00:00:50,915
she's just got some problems
she's dealing with.
19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,258
Kind of personal.
Will you make the kids lunch?
20
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:55,023
- Ah, do I have to?
- George?
21
00:00:55,109 --> 00:00:56,484
Happy to.
22
00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:57,953
Be right back.
23
00:01:00,178 --> 00:01:01,750
What do y'all want for lunch?
24
00:01:01,836 --> 00:01:03,416
Peanut butter and jelly,
please.
25
00:01:03,502 --> 00:01:04,903
Great. Missy?
26
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:08,130

Two PBJs, got it.

Well... Well, what?

00:01:16,668 --> 00:01:18,817
- I'm trying to say it.
- You woke me up.

Episode Title : " Albert Einstein
and the Story of Another Mary"
41
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:44,950
Are you sure?
42
00:01:45,035 --> 00:01:46,350
Yes. I'm late.
43
00:01:46,456 --> 00:01:48,268
- How late?
- Two days.
44
00:01:48,354 --> 00:01:50,276
Oh, two days.
That's nothing.
45
00:01:50,456 --> 00:01:53,213
Last time I was two days late,
I had the twins.
46
00:01:53,299 --> 00:01:56,370
Last time I was two days late,
I had menopause.
47
00:01:57,269 --> 00:01:59,628
Just trying to lighten the mood.
48
00:02:00,846 --> 00:02:02,237
So do you have...
49
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:05,268
reason to think
that you might be?
50
00:02:05,415 --> 00:02:08,417
Well, we try to be safe,
but... you know,
51
00:02:08,503 --> 00:02:09,678
heat of the moment.
52
00:02:09,785 --> 00:02:12,651
Still? After three kids
and that beer belly
53
00:02:12,737 --> 00:02:14,831
- hanging over his pants?
- Mom?
54
00:02:15,557 --> 00:02:17,860
I think you might be getting way
ahead of yourself.
55
00:02:17,945 --> 00:02:20,246
I'm telling you,
I just know.
56
00:02:20,332 --> 00:02:24,308
You were also convinced that
Georgie was gonna be a girl.
57
00:02:24,534 --> 00:02:25,917
That's true.
58
00:02:26,316 --> 00:02:29,402
Although he does have
very pretty hair.
59
00:02:31,821 --> 00:02:33,083
Hello.
60
00:02:33,169 --> 00:02:34,214
Hi, Sheldon.
61
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,191
I'd like to learn to play
the violin.
62
00:02:36,386 --> 00:02:39,441
Really?
Well, that's terrific.
63
00:02:39,574 --> 00:02:42,363
Do you have any experience
with stringed instruments?
64
00:02:42,457 --> 00:02:43,970
Stringed instruments, no.
65
00:02:44,055 --> 00:02:46,168
String theory, yes.
66
00:02:47,214 --> 00:02:49,890
That was a joke.
I'm a joker.
67
00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:52,277
I think I have an old violin
you can take home
68
00:02:52,363 --> 00:02:53,433
and get the feel of.
69
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:54,810
That's great.
70
00:02:54,895 --> 00:02:55,933
Thank you.
71
00:02:56,019 --> 00:02:57,293
But I have to warn you,
72
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:59,621
it can be a frustrating
instrument to learn.
73
00:02:59,707 --> 00:03:01,492
- Can youplay it?
- Yes.
74
00:03:01,578 --> 00:03:03,105
I'll be fine.
75
00:03:13,285 --> 00:03:15,004
I don't see them.
76
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:16,949
Excuse me.
77
00:03:17,035 --> 00:03:18,808
Where do you keep
your pregnancy tests?
78
00:03:18,894 --> 00:03:21,574
Mom. Behind the counter
at the pharmacy.
79
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:22,790
Thank you.
80
00:03:22,875 --> 00:03:24,964
Would you please be
a little more discreet?
81
00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:26,644
She doesn't know
it's for you.
82
00:03:26,808 --> 00:03:28,910
Well, it sure
isn't for you.
83
00:03:29,246 --> 00:03:30,300
Come on.
84
00:03:30,386 --> 00:03:32,165
Ow. No.
85
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:33,816
Well, go ahead.
86
00:03:33,902 --> 00:03:35,077
- I can't.
- Why not?
87
00:03:35,163 --> 00:03:37,480
His daughter goes
to Missy's school.
88
00:03:37,582 --> 00:03:39,449
You are being
ridiculous.
89
00:03:39,535 --> 00:03:41,636
I don't need the world
knowing my business.
90
00:03:41,722 --> 00:03:42,992
Okay, fine.
91
00:03:43,912 --> 00:03:45,527
Hello! Oh!
92
00:03:45,613 --> 00:03:47,210
Excuse me.
93
00:03:47,295 --> 00:03:48,990
- Hi, can I help you?
- Yes.
94
00:03:49,075 --> 00:03:51,535
Uh, I need a...
pregnancy test.
95
00:03:51,621 --> 00:03:52,660
Sure.
96
00:03:52,746 --> 00:03:53,769
We have a few options.
97
00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:55,210
Hey, Connie.
98
00:03:55,449 --> 00:03:57,324
Oh, hey, Brenda.
99
00:03:57,410 --> 00:03:58,985
Oh, you-you pick.
100
00:03:59,265 --> 00:04:00,839
Is that a pregnancy test?
101
00:04:01,152 --> 00:04:03,316
Uh, yeah.
102
00:04:03,456 --> 00:04:04,808
It's for me.
103
00:04:04,918 --> 00:04:07,449
- Really?
- Yes.
104
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:10,527
I come from a long line
of really fertile women.
105
00:04:10,613 --> 00:04:12,360
My mother had me
when she was 57.
106
00:04:12,445 --> 00:04:13,816
Can you believe it?
107
00:04:13,902 --> 00:04:15,644
I don't think I can.
108
00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:17,285
Dr. Sturgis
and I have been dating
109
00:04:17,371 --> 00:04:19,378
for some time and
we really try to be careful,
110
00:04:19,464 --> 00:04:21,949
but you know how it is.
111
00:04:22,099 --> 00:04:23,969
Heat of the moment.
112
00:04:24,272 --> 00:04:25,802
Hi, Mrs. Cooper!
113
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,150
Hi, Billy.
114
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,044
Are you playing
hide-and-seek?
115
00:04:31,386 --> 00:04:33,120
Um, yeah.
116
00:04:33,205 --> 00:04:35,519
Don't tell anybody. Shh.
117
00:04:35,815 --> 00:04:37,504
Bye, Mrs. Cooper!
118
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:38,895
Oh!
119
00:04:39,191 --> 00:04:42,040
Thank you so much. Bye.
120
00:04:42,125 --> 00:04:43,565
Wish me luck.
121
00:04:45,687 --> 00:04:49,529
It's a bit worn.
But it's fine for a beginner.
122
00:04:52,888 --> 00:04:54,496
That was unpleasant.
123
00:04:54,646 --> 00:04:56,802
It just takes some practice.
124
00:04:56,888 --> 00:04:59,537
Very well.
When is my first lesson?
125
00:04:59,662 --> 00:05:01,795
I'm... pretty busy
right now.
126
00:05:01,942 --> 00:05:04,771
But I can give you
this in the meantime.
127
00:05:06,099 --> 00:05:07,927
Anyone Can Play Violin.
128
00:05:08,215 --> 00:05:10,175
They don't set the
bar very high.
129
00:05:12,459 --> 00:05:14,420
You know what you need to do?
130
00:05:14,582 --> 00:05:16,240
Yes.
131
00:05:18,086 --> 00:05:19,423
How's it going?
132
00:05:19,509 --> 00:05:22,084
It'd be a lot easier
to pee if you'd stop talking.
133
00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:23,638
Sorry.
134
00:05:27,173 --> 00:05:29,506
Now it's too quiet.
Say something.
135
00:05:31,763 --> 00:05:33,966
I know you didn't expect this,
136
00:05:34,068 --> 00:05:36,302
and you still might not be,
but...
137
00:05:36,904 --> 00:05:39,584
but if it turns out
you are...
138
00:05:40,013 --> 00:05:42,115
I'm here for you.
139
00:05:42,398 --> 00:05:44,490
Thanks, Mom.
140
00:05:44,861 --> 00:05:46,920
You're not the one
I'm worried about.
141
00:05:47,006 --> 00:05:50,162
If I'm pregnant,
George is gonna flip out.
142
00:05:50,248 --> 00:05:52,904
I'm sure he would at first.
143
00:05:53,307 --> 00:05:55,362
Then he would
calm down.
144
00:05:55,615 --> 00:05:57,724
Take a few beers.
145
00:05:58,670 --> 00:06:00,787
Maybe some malt liquor.
146
00:06:01,334 --> 00:06:02,910
I suppose.
147
00:06:04,731 --> 00:06:06,435
The truth is,
he and I were both
148
00:06:06,521 --> 00:06:08,170
freaked out
about having twins.
149
00:06:08,255 --> 00:06:11,130
But now I can't imagine
life without them.
150
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:13,006
Well, see,
there you are.
151
00:06:13,175 --> 00:06:17,177
So, no matter what
that test says,
152
00:06:17,365 --> 00:06:19,154
you're gonna be okay.
153
00:06:19,261 --> 00:06:20,341
You're right.
154
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:22,646
What's it say?
155
00:06:25,053 --> 00:06:27,138
I'm gonna go
buy that malt liquor.
156
00:06:33,844 --> 00:06:35,662
To get started,
place your violin
157
00:06:35,748 --> 00:06:38,834
in rest position.
Your feet should be together.
158
00:06:38,966 --> 00:06:40,490
Your right arm
should be
159
00:06:40,576 --> 00:06:41,904
over your instrument,
160
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:44,709
not touching the strings
or the bridge.
161
00:06:44,935 --> 00:06:47,412
- Put your left hand...
- What are you doing?
162
00:06:47,498 --> 00:06:48,935
What does it look like?
163
00:06:49,052 --> 00:06:51,771
Like you're looking for another
excuse for kids to pick on you.
164
00:06:51,955 --> 00:06:54,220
Now, you are ready
to position your feet.
165
00:06:54,306 --> 00:06:57,068
Zip your feet open
and step forward
166
00:06:57,154 --> 00:06:59,123
with your left foot.
167
00:06:59,209 --> 00:07:00,951
- Your feet should...
- What are youdoing?
168
00:07:01,037 --> 00:07:03,623
I was gonna watch DuckTales,
but this looks funnier.
169
00:07:03,709 --> 00:07:06,240
Procedure for positioning
the violin on your shoulder.
170
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:09,388
Hold your violin
above the left foot
171
00:07:09,474 --> 00:07:11,615
with the neck
of the instrument pointing up.
172
00:07:11,701 --> 00:07:13,310
Left foot, neck up.
173
00:07:13,404 --> 00:07:15,302
Now rotate the neck
of the instrument
174
00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:17,584
counterclockwise,
so that the neck points
175
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:19,076
at your left foot.
176
00:07:19,162 --> 00:07:21,755
- Oh, boy.
- I was right.
177
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,190
Bend your left elbow
so that the violin
178
00:07:24,276 --> 00:07:25,911
rests on your shoulder
179
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:28,153
and place your head
on the chin rest.
180
00:07:28,263 --> 00:07:30,833
Now try dropping
your left hand.
181
00:07:30,989 --> 00:07:32,513
See if you can
hold your instrument
182
00:07:32,607 --> 00:07:34,068
without your hands.
183
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:36,326
- Time yourself at this...
- What's going on?
184
00:07:36,669 --> 00:07:39,201
I'm learning
to play the violin.
185
00:07:39,342 --> 00:07:40,978
It's my new favorite show.
186
00:07:41,064 --> 00:07:43,545
Once you feel you have control
of your instrument,
187
00:07:43,654 --> 00:07:46,193
try moving your hands
around.
188
00:07:54,642 --> 00:07:56,396
Repeat this procedure
until you can position
189
00:07:56,482 --> 00:07:59,732
your instrument
comfortably and quickly.
190
00:08:04,562 --> 00:08:06,214
He'll just be
another minute.
191
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:07,599
Thank you.
192
00:08:11,787 --> 00:08:13,756
- What's that about?
- Oh...
193
00:08:13,842 --> 00:08:16,537
just trying not
to breathe the smoke in.
194
00:08:16,802 --> 00:08:17,880
Come on.
195
00:08:17,981 --> 00:08:20,412
It already went through
the filter and my lungs.
196
00:08:20,498 --> 00:08:22,803
This stuff is squeaky clean.
197
00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:25,045
Well, still.
198
00:08:25,615 --> 00:08:28,232
He's all yours,
your highness.
199
00:08:28,438 --> 00:08:29,958
All right.
200
00:08:31,530 --> 00:08:35,026
Hey, Mare, what's up?
Other than the big guy.
201
00:08:35,185 --> 00:08:36,297
God joke.
202
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:40,678
Actually, um,
I could use some guidance.
203
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:42,345
I got some news today,
204
00:08:42,431 --> 00:08:45,166
and I'm not quite sure
how I feel about it.
205
00:08:45,420 --> 00:08:47,099
Of course. Sit.
206
00:08:50,871 --> 00:08:53,920
Well... I am...
207
00:08:54,792 --> 00:08:56,435
um...
208
00:08:57,139 --> 00:08:58,389
with child.
209
00:08:58,482 --> 00:08:59,943
That's wonderful!
210
00:09:00,029 --> 00:09:01,256
Congratulations!
211
00:09:01,404 --> 00:09:03,021
How far along are you?
212
00:09:03,107 --> 00:09:04,951
Uh, could you keep it down
just a little?
213
00:09:05,037 --> 00:09:06,826
I haven't exactly
told George yet.
214
00:09:06,912 --> 00:09:08,756
Got it. And why not?
215
00:09:08,936 --> 00:09:10,662
It is his, right?
216
00:09:10,889 --> 00:09:12,271
Of course.
217
00:09:12,357 --> 00:09:13,657
Apologies.
218
00:09:13,743 --> 00:09:15,857
Hey, I'm a pastor
in a small town.
219
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:19,545
You wouldn't believe
the juicy things I hear.
220
00:09:20,942 --> 00:09:23,498
This just wasn't
part of our plan.
221
00:09:23,682 --> 00:09:26,709
Well, luckily...
it's part of God's plan.
222
00:09:26,849 --> 00:09:28,477
And let me tell you
about another Mary
223
00:09:28,562 --> 00:09:31,326
who didn't know how to tell
her husband she was expecting.
224
00:09:31,420 --> 00:09:34,678
And her story is way weirder
than yours.
225
00:09:36,739 --> 00:09:39,670
In order to practice this,
move your bow
226
00:09:39,756 --> 00:09:42,747
in a counterclockwise direction.
227
00:09:43,037 --> 00:09:46,302
Keep your hand moving right
with the tip of the bow.
228
00:09:46,458 --> 00:09:47,607
For our next song,
229
00:09:47,693 --> 00:09:49,107
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,"
230
00:09:49,193 --> 00:09:52,058
remember, posture
is our most important thing.
231
00:09:52,144 --> 00:09:53,982
Set, play.
232
00:10:06,054 --> 00:10:08,357
Did you hear that?
I did it!
233
00:10:08,568 --> 00:10:09,997
I don't think you did.
234
00:10:10,732 --> 00:10:13,862
And now we see how
it helps my science.
235
00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:16,328
Hmm.
236
00:10:17,432 --> 00:10:19,052
Hmm...
237
00:10:22,888 --> 00:10:24,662
Come on, think.
238
00:10:26,318 --> 00:10:28,341
Probably needs more
"Twinkle, Twinkle."
239
00:10:28,473 --> 00:10:29,763
for
learning new songs.
240
00:10:29,849 --> 00:10:32,326
You can play them
along with me.
241
00:10:41,282 --> 00:10:43,146
What the hell is that?
242
00:10:43,677 --> 00:10:45,897
Sheldon's learning
to play the violin.
243
00:10:46,154 --> 00:10:47,951
Oh. Well,
that's unfortunate.
244
00:10:48,037 --> 00:10:49,349
Mm-hmm.
245
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:51,472
I'm gonna go change.
246
00:10:54,196 --> 00:10:55,331
Hey, Dad.
247
00:10:55,417 --> 00:10:57,943
Can you believe I only
started playing today?
248
00:10:58,108 --> 00:10:59,841
I really can.
249
00:11:11,794 --> 00:11:13,848
Hey, so there's something
250
00:11:13,934 --> 00:11:15,716
I've been meaning
to talk to you about.
251
00:11:15,802 --> 00:11:17,098
Sure, what's up?
252
00:11:17,302 --> 00:11:19,794
Now, before I say it, um,
253
00:11:20,817 --> 00:11:23,958
I want to tell you a story
of another Mary.
254
00:11:24,222 --> 00:11:25,251
Um...
255
00:11:25,462 --> 00:11:26,987
Okay, anytime...
256
00:11:27,072 --> 00:11:28,778
Are you kidding me?
257
00:11:29,642 --> 00:11:31,207
Keep your voice down.
258
00:11:31,341 --> 00:11:32,458
Are you kidding me?
259
00:11:32,544 --> 00:11:35,296
Look, I was a little thrown,
too, but Pastor Jeff said...
260
00:11:35,382 --> 00:11:36,997
Pastor Jeff?
261
00:11:37,255 --> 00:11:38,653
Pastor Jeff knows before me?
262
00:11:38,739 --> 00:11:41,484
Well, yeah, I needed
someone to talk to,
263
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:43,676
- and, you know, my mom...
- Your mom?
264
00:11:43,762 --> 00:11:46,458
- Shh!
- Does the whole damn town know?
265
00:11:46,544 --> 00:11:49,677
No. Just my mom
and Pastor Jeff.
266
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:52,692
And maybe Brenda Sparks.
267
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,458
Probably Peg...
268
00:11:56,450 --> 00:11:59,012
and whoever she told,
but that is it.
269
00:11:59,098 --> 00:12:00,247
Oh, is that it?
270
00:12:00,442 --> 00:12:01,942
Great news!
271
00:12:02,028 --> 00:12:03,708
Not a good time,
Sheldon.
272
00:12:03,997 --> 00:12:05,287
But it's
really important.
273
00:12:05,372 --> 00:12:06,672
Ugh.
274
00:12:09,192 --> 00:12:11,958
I figured out why the violin
worked for Einstein
275
00:12:12,044 --> 00:12:13,145
and not for me.
276
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,718
I need to become
a Jewish person.
277
00:12:22,114 --> 00:12:25,426
- Sheldon, dinner!
- Coming.
278
00:12:27,306 --> 00:12:29,800
Sorry I'm late.
Shalom.
279
00:12:33,707 --> 00:12:34,972
What's on your head?
280
00:12:35,058 --> 00:12:37,152
- A yarmulke.
- A yama-what?
281
00:12:37,308 --> 00:12:38,887
It's a special Jewish hat.
282
00:12:38,973 --> 00:12:41,980
It reminds the wearer
that God is always over you.
283
00:12:43,425 --> 00:12:44,471
Mom.
284
00:12:44,557 --> 00:12:46,171
Oh, come on, it's funny.
285
00:12:46,256 --> 00:12:48,417
It's not funny
and it's not a yarmulke.
286
00:12:48,503 --> 00:12:51,573
It is a coaster I crocheted
at Bible camp.
287
00:12:52,284 --> 00:12:54,159
Are you gonna say
something to him?
288
00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:57,097
Normally I would, but I got
bigger problems right now.
289
00:12:59,394 --> 00:13:01,644
- Let's just say grace.
- Hold on.
290
00:13:01,730 --> 00:13:04,003
Are these
hot dogs kosher?
291
00:13:09,085 --> 00:13:10,480
Over the next few days,
292
00:13:10,566 --> 00:13:12,542
I continued to play the violin
293
00:13:12,628 --> 00:13:16,503
in an effort to replicate
the mental prowess of Einstein.
294
00:13:16,706 --> 00:13:19,421
I was asked to confine
my practice to the garage
295
00:13:19,506 --> 00:13:22,269
by my father, mother,
sister and brother.
296
00:13:22,596 --> 00:13:24,948
Meemaw was fine with me
practicing in the house,
297
00:13:25,034 --> 00:13:27,464
but why would she care?
She doesn't live with us.
298
00:13:29,878 --> 00:13:31,058
Hey, George.
299
00:13:31,213 --> 00:13:32,519
Hey, Herschel.
300
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:34,402
Let me guess,
you're here to complain
301
00:13:34,488 --> 00:13:35,839
about Sheldon's violin playing.
302
00:13:35,992 --> 00:13:38,104
Under normal circumstances,
I'd say yeah,
303
00:13:38,190 --> 00:13:39,230
but since he started,
304
00:13:39,316 --> 00:13:42,402
my chickens been
dropping eggs like crazy.
305
00:13:43,836 --> 00:13:45,581
- That's weird.
- Hey, uh,
306
00:13:45,737 --> 00:13:47,933
I hear congratulations
are in order.
307
00:13:48,034 --> 00:13:49,425
What's that you hear?
308
00:13:49,581 --> 00:13:51,386
Maybe I didn't hear it.
Never mind.
309
00:13:51,667 --> 00:13:53,214
It's all right.
310
00:13:53,432 --> 00:13:55,066
Seems like everybody knows.
311
00:13:55,152 --> 00:13:57,636
You don't seem
terribly enthusiastic.
312
00:13:58,964 --> 00:14:00,591
It's the money, Herschel.
313
00:14:01,105 --> 00:14:02,753
It's all about the money.
314
00:14:03,745 --> 00:14:05,777
Well, there's only one
solution to that.
315
00:14:05,917 --> 00:14:08,964
- Which is?
- You got to make more money.
316
00:14:09,066 --> 00:14:10,917
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
317
00:14:11,003 --> 00:14:12,714
Hey, I got to ask,
318
00:14:12,863 --> 00:14:16,034
did that fiddle playing increase
the fertility in all the females
319
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,300
around here or just
my chickens?
320
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:21,311
I was just throwing it out there,
never mind.
321
00:14:21,738 --> 00:14:23,870
Wait here,
I'm-a go get you some eggs.
322
00:14:23,956 --> 00:14:26,581
- That's okay.
- You're getting eggs.
323
00:14:26,808 --> 00:14:28,402
Guess I'm getting eggs.
324
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,714
All right, George,
325
00:14:31,808 --> 00:14:34,480
- what's so damn important?
- Well...
326
00:14:34,566 --> 00:14:36,551
I don't want to get into
the why's and wherefore's,
327
00:14:36,636 --> 00:14:39,620
but...
I'm gonna need a raise.
328
00:14:40,110 --> 00:14:41,765
Is this 'cause Mary's pregnant?
329
00:14:41,941 --> 00:14:43,433
You got to be kidding me.
330
00:14:43,635 --> 00:14:45,791
Does everybody in this damn town
know my business?
331
00:14:45,877 --> 00:14:48,105
I just... it was taking a guess.
332
00:14:48,276 --> 00:14:50,363
- Tom.
- My wife told me.
333
00:14:51,152 --> 00:14:53,627
Doesn't matter.
What do you say?
334
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:55,885
Are you threatening to quit
if you don't get it?
335
00:14:55,971 --> 00:14:57,979
No, Tom, I'm threatening
to rob a bank.
336
00:14:58,065 --> 00:15:00,885
Okay. All right, well,
let's not do that.
337
00:15:02,845 --> 00:15:04,596
$100 a week do the trick?
338
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:06,799
Yes. Thanks. Bye.
339
00:15:13,721 --> 00:15:14,705
Temple Judea,
340
00:15:14,791 --> 00:15:15,806
how can I help you?
341
00:15:15,892 --> 00:15:17,659
Hello, I'd like
to become Jewish.
342
00:15:17,799 --> 00:15:19,518
Who would be in charge of that?
343
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:21,018
How old are you?
344
00:15:21,104 --> 00:15:23,721
I'm ten. Please hold.
345
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:31,518
Hello, this is
Rabbi Schneiderman.
346
00:15:31,604 --> 00:15:32,885
To whom am I speaking?
347
00:15:32,971 --> 00:15:34,908
Hello, this is Sheldon Cooper.
348
00:15:34,994 --> 00:15:38,463
Hello, Sheldon.
Um, how can I help you?
349
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:42,041
I'm currently a Baptist and
I'd like to convert to Judaism.
350
00:15:42,471 --> 00:15:44,291
A Baptist named Sheldon.
351
00:15:45,143 --> 00:15:46,393
Okay.
352
00:15:47,276 --> 00:15:49,034
And why do you want to convert?
353
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,377
Very simple. It's my intention
to become a great scientist
354
00:15:52,463 --> 00:15:54,746
and I couldn't help but notice
most of the great scientists
355
00:15:54,831 --> 00:15:58,862
are Jewish, so logic dictates
it's time to switch teams.
356
00:15:58,948 --> 00:16:00,557
Well, I'm sure there are
357
00:16:00,643 --> 00:16:03,901
many Baptist scientists
you could emulate.
358
00:16:03,987 --> 00:16:05,034
That's kind of you to say,
359
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,735
but other than Cornelis Drebbel
in the 1500s,
360
00:16:07,821 --> 00:16:09,301
it's pretty slim pickings.
361
00:16:10,752 --> 00:16:13,659
Well, Sheldon, you sound like
a very smart young man.
362
00:16:13,745 --> 00:16:15,393
Oh, you have no idea.
363
00:16:15,776 --> 00:16:18,307
Can I ask how your parents
feel about this?
364
00:16:18,518 --> 00:16:20,901
Well, when I presented them
with my plan,
365
00:16:20,987 --> 00:16:23,791
the words "over my dead body"
were used.
366
00:16:24,706 --> 00:16:26,026
I'm not surprised.
367
00:16:26,112 --> 00:16:28,018
But they were
similarly resistant
368
00:16:28,104 --> 00:16:29,557
when I wanted to get an ant farm
369
00:16:29,643 --> 00:16:31,409
and eventually they came around.
370
00:16:32,221 --> 00:16:34,901
All right, here's what
I'm gonna tell you to do.
371
00:16:35,510 --> 00:16:36,893
Read your Bible.
372
00:16:37,049 --> 00:16:38,752
Already did, cover to cover.
373
00:16:38,838 --> 00:16:40,752
- Really?
- Quiz me.
374
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:43,190
No, that's okay,
I believe you.
375
00:16:44,165 --> 00:16:47,112
All right, my advice to you
376
00:16:47,502 --> 00:16:50,393
is to stay with the faith
of your parents.
377
00:16:50,979 --> 00:16:52,909
- What else you got?
- Okay.
378
00:16:53,001 --> 00:16:54,940
Then I'm gonna tell you
379
00:16:55,323 --> 00:16:57,088
to be your own man.
380
00:16:57,534 --> 00:17:00,307
But I want to be a great
scientist like Albert Einstein.
381
00:17:00,401 --> 00:17:01,449
Sheldon,
382
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:03,431
when your days are over,
383
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:06,440
God will never ask you,
384
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:08,995
"Why weren't you Einstein?"
385
00:17:10,221 --> 00:17:12,331
But he might ask you,
386
00:17:13,338 --> 00:17:15,495
"Why weren't you Sheldon?"
387
00:17:23,790 --> 00:17:26,190
What's going on?
You all right?
388
00:17:26,362 --> 00:17:28,579
I'm not feeling great.
389
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:30,094
Is it a pregnant thing?
390
00:17:30,188 --> 00:17:32,641
'Cause I got
some good news on that.
391
00:17:33,015 --> 00:17:34,815
I got a decent raise.
392
00:17:35,344 --> 00:17:36,844
It doesn't matter.
393
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:38,290
What do you mean
it doesn't matter?
394
00:17:38,376 --> 00:17:40,026
We can pull this off now.
395
00:17:41,404 --> 00:17:43,321
I lost the baby.
396
00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:48,657
Oh.
397
00:17:59,829 --> 00:18:01,999
You're probably relieved,
huh?
398
00:18:03,229 --> 00:18:04,758
Actually...
399
00:18:07,023 --> 00:18:08,446
no.
400
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:16,375
I love the first three.
401
00:18:16,689 --> 00:18:18,532
Fourth one's a charm, right?
402
00:18:24,438 --> 00:18:25,821
Dad?
403
00:18:26,071 --> 00:18:27,461
Mom?
404
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:31,762
Yeah, Shelly?
405
00:18:32,188 --> 00:18:35,110
I just thought you should know
I'm not going to be Jewish.
406
00:18:35,196 --> 00:18:38,649
I'm going to remain the atheist
Baptist you've come to love.
407
00:18:41,211 --> 00:18:42,689
Good to hear.
408
00:18:43,304 --> 00:18:45,084
Are you crying?
409
00:18:46,876 --> 00:18:49,743
Yeah, but don't worry,
everything's okay.
410
00:18:52,273 --> 00:18:53,735
Good.
411
00:18:59,026 --> 00:19:01,941
Once again,
I brought my mother so much joy
412
00:19:02,063 --> 00:19:05,586
she was moved to tears.
I don't know how I do it.
413
00:19:12,508 --> 00:19:14,520
Tom,
George Cooper's here for you.
414
00:19:14,722 --> 00:19:16,035
Send him in.
415
00:19:17,324 --> 00:19:19,167
Hey, Tom, you got a minute?
416
00:19:19,253 --> 00:19:20,817
Pretty busy.
417
00:19:21,128 --> 00:19:22,517
Make it quick.
418
00:19:23,574 --> 00:19:26,011
It turns out I don't
need that raise.
419
00:19:26,097 --> 00:19:27,738
What happened,
you win the lottery?
420
00:19:27,855 --> 00:19:29,542
No, no.
421
00:19:35,191 --> 00:19:38,417
Aw, George, I am so sorry.
422
00:19:38,777 --> 00:19:40,581
Well, what can you do?
423
00:19:41,993 --> 00:19:44,159
Listen, I cleared
your raise already,
424
00:19:44,245 --> 00:19:45,573
why don't you just
keep the money.
425
00:19:45,659 --> 00:19:47,327
- Oh, no, I couldn't do that.
- No.
426
00:19:47,412 --> 00:19:50,192
No, I mean it.
It's yours.
427
00:19:51,675 --> 00:19:53,234
Okay.
428
00:19:53,733 --> 00:19:55,173
Thanks. Bye.
429
00:19:58,745 --> 00:20:01,417
Thank you, but I will
no longer be needing these.
430
00:20:01,503 --> 00:20:03,152
You're giving up
so soon?
431
00:20:03,238 --> 00:20:05,480
What happened?
Did it hurt your fingers?
432
00:20:05,566 --> 00:20:08,761
No. I'm following the advice of
a very wise Rabbi Schneiderman
433
00:20:08,902 --> 00:20:10,925
from Temple Judea in Houston.
434
00:20:11,652 --> 00:20:13,527
Is this another one
of your jokes?
435
00:20:13,612 --> 00:20:16,230
No. If it were a joke,
your mouth would be open
436
00:20:16,339 --> 00:20:18,449
and the sound "ha-ha"
would be coming out.
