1
00:00:01,436 --> 00:00:03,873
Previously onYoung Sheldon...I'm Georgie.

2
00:00:03,916 --> 00:00:05,048
Mandy.

3
00:00:05,092 --> 00:00:06,180
How about while this runs,

4
00:00:06,223 --> 00:00:07,311
I take you to dinner?

5
00:00:07,355 --> 00:00:08,965
How old are you?

6
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:10,445
GEORGE JR.:
Do not say 17.

7
00:00:10,488 --> 00:00:11,837
Twenty-one.

8
00:00:11,881 --> 00:00:14,623
Well, funny seeing you here.

9
00:00:14,666 --> 00:00:16,494
I'm just taking
a little dinner break.

10
00:00:16,538 --> 00:00:18,627
Here we go. Two margaritas.

11
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:20,672
I love their margaritas.

12
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,284
Well, this was fun.

13
00:00:23,327 --> 00:00:24,981
It was for me.

14
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,678
Nice meeting you.

15
00:00:34,382 --> 00:00:36,297
I don't want
to get ahead of myself,

16
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:38,299
but the strength
of the temperature deviations

17
00:00:38,342 --> 00:00:40,301
is looking rather spicy.

18
00:00:40,344 --> 00:00:42,520
How spicy?Five microkelvin.

19
00:00:42,564 --> 00:00:44,522
Muy caliente.[chuckles]

20
00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:45,828
When should we publish?

21
00:00:45,871 --> 00:00:47,395
Not yet. There's only

22
00:00:47,438 --> 00:00:49,875
a three-sigma significance.
It needs to be higher.

23
00:00:49,919 --> 00:00:52,878
That'd require a much
more robust signal.

24
00:00:52,922 --> 00:00:54,228
And you know
what that means.

25
00:00:54,271 --> 00:00:56,665
Road trip to the
super telescope?

26
00:00:56,708 --> 00:00:58,841
Road trip
to the super telescope, baby.

27
00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:00,060
When are we leaving?

28
00:01:01,104 --> 00:01:03,193
Oh, right. You.

29
00:01:04,151 --> 00:01:07,023
♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪

30
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,852

31
00:01:09,895 --> 00:01:12,463

♪ I am a mighty little man.♪

34
00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:25,259
So far, the data
is extremely promising.

35
00:01:25,302 --> 00:01:27,522
Five microkelvin!

36
00:01:27,565 --> 00:01:28,566
HAGEMEYER: Ah.

37
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:30,220
Well, you seem excited,

38
00:01:30,264 --> 00:01:31,787
so... cool.

39
00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:33,354
[chuckles]
We just need

40
00:01:33,397 --> 00:01:35,617
budget approval
to travel to the radio telescope

41
00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:36,705
in the Davis Mountains.

42
00:01:36,748 --> 00:01:37,923
Fine by me.

43
00:01:37,967 --> 00:01:40,535
Yes!On to more pressing matters.

44
00:01:40,578 --> 00:01:43,277
Does Sheldon Cooper
have to come?STURGIS: Shouldn't he?

45
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:44,930
He is part of the team.

46
00:01:44,974 --> 00:01:47,890
But isn't there some rule
against minors traveling?

47
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:49,892
No.Can there be?

48
00:01:49,935 --> 00:01:52,199
No, it's better for the project
if he's out there

49
00:01:52,242 --> 00:01:53,809
in the field with you.

50
00:01:53,852 --> 00:01:55,158
But isn't it better
for his education

51
00:01:55,202 --> 00:01:57,378
if he stays here in class?HAGEMEYER: Oh, I think

52
00:01:57,421 --> 00:01:59,206
that a trip like this
could be very educational

53
00:01:59,249 --> 00:02:00,946
in its own way.LINKLETTER: Mm.

54
00:02:00,990 --> 00:02:03,253
You just don't want him
around here bugging you.

55
00:02:03,297 --> 00:02:05,908
Winner winner
he's-going-with-you dinner.

56
00:02:12,349 --> 00:02:13,742
Hey, there.

57
00:02:13,785 --> 00:02:16,353
You're Georgie's friend, right?

58
00:02:16,397 --> 00:02:18,399
Yeah. Mandy. Hi.[chuckles]

59
00:02:18,442 --> 00:02:20,966
You grow up around here?I did,

60
00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:23,099
yeah. And then I, uh,
moved to San Antonio

61
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:24,405
for a while after college.

62
00:02:24,448 --> 00:02:27,190
After college.Yeah.

63
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:30,411
A&M. Then I got an internship
at Good Morning San Antonio.

64
00:02:30,454 --> 00:02:31,934
Uh-oh.MANDY: Then I worked my way up

65
00:02:31,977 --> 00:02:33,588
to doing
the morning weather report.Hey, y'all.

66
00:02:33,631 --> 00:02:34,937
Well,

67
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:36,939
speak of the devil.

68
00:02:36,982 --> 00:02:39,202
What's going on, ladies?MEEMAW: Just

69
00:02:39,246 --> 00:02:40,943
getting to know Mandy here.

70
00:02:40,986 --> 00:02:43,250
Yeah, I was telling her
about San Antonio.

71
00:02:43,293 --> 00:02:45,861
Oh, she's from Texas. She
knows all about that stuff.

72
00:02:45,904 --> 00:02:48,342
Anyways, I'll let you
get back to work.MEEMAW: Well,

73
00:02:48,385 --> 00:02:49,952
I'll leave you two kids be.

74
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:53,216
And listen to me,
calling you young adults "kids."

75
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:57,829
[chuckles] Like you were
still teenagers or something.

76
00:02:57,873 --> 00:02:59,309
I wish.
[chuckles]

77
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,141
Mom, can I have your AAA card?

78
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:07,012
Why?I need to order

79
00:03:07,056 --> 00:03:09,363
a TripTik
for my road trip to Fort Davis.

80
00:03:09,406 --> 00:03:11,278
Who said you could
go to Fort Davis?

81
00:03:11,321 --> 00:03:12,627
President Hagemeyer.

82
00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:14,977
Well, I didn't say you could go.

83
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:17,458
It's fine. I'll be with
Dr. Sturgis and Dr. Linkletter.

84
00:03:17,501 --> 00:03:18,894
For how long?

85
00:03:18,937 --> 00:03:20,025
Three days.

86
00:03:20,069 --> 00:03:21,810
And they're okay with this?

87
00:03:21,853 --> 00:03:23,246
Why wouldn't they be?

88
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:24,987
No reason.

89
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:26,162
Hmm.Just the same,

90
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:27,816
I'm gonna check in with them.

91
00:03:27,859 --> 00:03:29,644
In the meantime, can I call AAA?

92
00:03:29,687 --> 00:03:32,342
Can it please wait?No.

93
00:03:33,387 --> 00:03:35,780
[sighs] Card is in my purse.

94
00:03:35,824 --> 00:03:38,392
You're what guys call
"a keeper."

95
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,837
Mandy seems nice.

96
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,186
She's all right.

97
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:51,840
Things getting serious?

98
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:53,885
I don't know. Why?Just wondering

99
00:03:53,929 --> 00:03:56,497
when you were gonna tell her
your real age.

100
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:58,716
Age ain't nothing but a number.Yeah,

101
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,589
well, her number's
way bigger than your number.

102
00:04:01,632 --> 00:04:03,373
You ain't never lied
about your age?

103
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:05,201
I'm a lady. Different rules.

104
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,073
It's not a big deal.
We're just having fun.Yeah,

105
00:04:08,117 --> 00:04:09,814
well, before you have
too much fun,

106
00:04:09,858 --> 00:04:11,207
you better tell her.

107
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,078
That sounds less fun.

108
00:04:13,122 --> 00:04:14,863
Welcome to being an adult.

109
00:04:14,906 --> 00:04:16,647
It sucks.

110
00:04:18,910 --> 00:04:20,956
Dr. Linkletter? Mary Cooper.

111
00:04:20,999 --> 00:04:22,523
Ah, Mrs. Cooper.

112
00:04:22,566 --> 00:04:24,568
I assume
this is about the upcoming trip

113
00:04:24,612 --> 00:04:27,179
and perhaps your
very understandable reluctance

114
00:04:27,223 --> 00:04:28,703
to let Sheldon come.

115
00:04:28,746 --> 00:04:32,054
I have to admit
I do have some concerns.

116
00:04:32,097 --> 00:04:33,577
As you should.

117
00:04:33,621 --> 00:04:34,665
So, you're saying you'd prefer

118
00:04:34,709 --> 00:04:36,450
he not go with us?[Mary sighs]

119
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:39,104
But he'd be so disappointed.

120
00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:41,063
Not more disappointed than me.

121
00:04:41,106 --> 00:04:44,109
So, you feel good
about him going?

122
00:04:45,154 --> 00:04:47,156
Only if you feel good about it.

123
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,941
You're his parent. I'm just
an absentminded academic

124
00:04:49,985 --> 00:04:51,552
who's never had children.

125
00:04:51,595 --> 00:04:52,944
Come on, now.

126
00:04:52,988 --> 00:04:54,381
You've been such a great help

127
00:04:54,424 --> 00:04:56,557
looking after him at college.

128
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,560
Yes, but college isn't the same
as three days in a van.

129
00:04:59,603 --> 00:05:00,735
Huh.

130
00:05:00,778 --> 00:05:03,433
Sheldon can be
a nervous traveler.

131
00:05:03,477 --> 00:05:06,741
Ah. Sounds like
you don't want him to go.

132
00:05:06,784 --> 00:05:09,352
No, I do want him to go.
I just want to make sure

133
00:05:09,396 --> 00:05:12,268
that you and Dr. Sturgis
are okay with it.

134
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,097
We're okay with it.

135
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:17,317
If you're okay with it.

136
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,493
If you're okay with it,
I'm okay with it.

137
00:05:19,536 --> 00:05:22,322
Then it would seem
we're both okay with it.

138
00:05:22,365 --> 00:05:23,323
Okay.

139
00:05:23,366 --> 00:05:25,412
Okay.MARY: Oh,

140
00:05:25,455 --> 00:05:27,152
he's gonna be so happy.

141
00:05:28,197 --> 00:05:29,241
Uh-huh.

142
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,859
You ready
for your road trip?

143
00:05:37,902 --> 00:05:39,991
Yes. I'm plotting
bathroom breaks.

144
00:05:40,035 --> 00:05:41,645
It's tricky because I'm not sure

145
00:05:41,689 --> 00:05:44,431
how frequently Dr. Linkletter
and Dr. Sturgis need to urinate.

146
00:05:44,474 --> 00:05:46,433
Maybe I should call them.

147
00:05:46,476 --> 00:05:48,609
Ooh, I wouldn't. You ask
old guys about their bladder,

148
00:05:48,652 --> 00:05:50,698
you're in for
a long conversation.

149
00:05:50,741 --> 00:05:52,003
What's with the maps?

150
00:05:52,047 --> 00:05:54,136
I'm going with Dr. Sturgis
and Dr. Linkletter

151
00:05:54,179 --> 00:05:56,530
to a radio telescope
in the Davis Mountains.

152
00:05:56,573 --> 00:05:58,096
[sighs]
Of course you are.

153
00:05:58,140 --> 00:06:00,708
Problem?Nope. He gets to do

154
00:06:00,751 --> 00:06:02,405
whatever he wants, and
I'm not even allowed

155
00:06:02,449 --> 00:06:04,059
to go the beach
with my friends.

156
00:06:04,102 --> 00:06:05,843
It's just a school trip.

157
00:06:05,887 --> 00:06:07,845
It's fine.

158
00:06:07,889 --> 00:06:10,152
SHELDON:
Oh. Says here Fort Stockton

159
00:06:10,195 --> 00:06:12,197
is home to the world's
largest roadrunner statue,

160
00:06:12,241 --> 00:06:13,634
which is the stuff
of nightmares.

161
00:06:13,677 --> 00:06:15,679
But they do have a restroom.

162
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,029
[knock on door]

163
00:06:18,073 --> 00:06:19,814
Can I talk to you?

164
00:06:19,857 --> 00:06:21,642
Am I in trouble?No.

165
00:06:21,685 --> 00:06:22,686
It's about a girl.

166
00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:24,601
Oh. You'rein trouble.

167
00:06:24,645 --> 00:06:26,081
Yeah, sure.

168
00:06:26,124 --> 00:06:29,084
I'm not really in trouble.
I'm just dating this girl,

169
00:06:29,127 --> 00:06:30,651
and she's a little older
than me.

170
00:06:30,694 --> 00:06:32,348
What's the problem?

171
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:35,090
She doesn't exactly know
how much older than me she is.

172
00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:36,657
How much older is she?

173
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:37,919
Like ten years.

174
00:06:37,962 --> 00:06:40,704
But she's blond
and she's really hot.

175
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:43,098
Well, that doesn't matter.

176
00:06:43,141 --> 00:06:45,709
I mean, if you're lying to her,
that's not okay.

177
00:06:45,753 --> 00:06:47,276
Hold on.

178
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,496
You're saying if you were my age
and dating this hot girl,

179
00:06:49,539 --> 00:06:51,846
you'd tell her the truth
