1
00:00:01,418 --> 00:00:02,962
Previously on Young Sheldon...

2
00:00:03,002 --> 00:00:04,254
I've been corresponding
with Dr. John Sturgis

3
00:00:04,296 --> 00:00:05,631
at East Texas Tech.

4
00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:07,132
He said I could audit
his course.

5
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,383
I'm John Sturgis.

6
00:00:08,425 --> 00:00:10,302
Sheldon invited me to dinner.

7
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:13,180
Spaghetti and hot dogs
is delightful.

8
00:00:13,221 --> 00:00:14,515
You're only here temporarily?

9
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:16,475
That's the plan for now,

10
00:00:16,517 --> 00:00:20,020
but I could be enticed to stay.

11
00:00:20,061 --> 00:00:21,522
I do believe there
was subtext there.

12
00:00:21,563 --> 00:00:22,857
Did you pick up on it?

13
00:00:25,024 --> 00:00:27,444
Okay. I'll see you later.

14
00:00:27,486 --> 00:00:29,404
Are you sure
you don't want to stay with me?

15
00:00:29,446 --> 00:00:31,907
I don't think so. I don't really
understand this stuff.

16
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:33,450
That's how I felt
when we watched Dirty Dancing,

17
00:00:33,492 --> 00:00:34,952
and I stayed.

18
00:00:34,994 --> 00:00:36,787
When Patrick Swayze
takes his shirt off in here,

19
00:00:36,829 --> 00:00:38,831
I'll be back.
You have a good one.

20
00:00:46,421 --> 00:00:48,256
Hello.

21
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:49,508
Hi.

22
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:51,802
Who are you?

23
00:00:51,844 --> 00:00:53,012
I'm Paige.

24
00:00:53,052 --> 00:00:54,805
I like your bow tie.

25
00:00:54,847 --> 00:00:56,139
Thank you.

26
00:00:56,181 --> 00:00:57,808
You seem awfully young,
Paige.

27
00:00:57,850 --> 00:01:00,019
Are you with an adult
who's taking this class?

28
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:02,646
No. Dr. Sturgis heard
about my research

29
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:04,815
on quantum chromodynamics
at high temperatures

30
00:01:04,857 --> 00:01:07,067
and invited me
to audit his course.

31
00:01:07,108 --> 00:01:08,318
Is that so?

32
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,696
Yes. He's been super nice.

33
00:01:10,738 --> 00:01:13,198
Interesting. Well,
just so we're clear,

34
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,743
he's my mentor,
he's my meemaw's boyfriend,

35
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:18,495
and he had spaghetti
and hot dogs at my house.

36
00:01:18,537 --> 00:01:21,582
(chuckling): The spaghetti
goes on the hot dogs?

37
00:01:21,623 --> 00:01:22,958
No.

38
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,626
You realize
this is a very advanced class.

39
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:26,127
We'll be discussing

40
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:28,296
deriving nuclear physics
from the quark model.

41
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:31,132
Do you know if he'll be doing
a full color octet calculation

42
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:32,968
with matrix manipulations?

43
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,094
I do not.

44
00:01:35,136 --> 00:01:37,556
Do you know how to differentiate
under the integral sign?

45
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:39,433
No.

46
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:42,143
(chuckles):
Well, do you know anything?

47
00:01:43,144 --> 00:01:45,022

I'm ten.

55
00:02:10,881 --> 00:02:12,424
I'm ten, too.

56
00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:13,926
When's your birthday?

57
00:02:13,968 --> 00:02:16,011
February 26.

58
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:18,472
March 17.

59
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:20,599
I'm the youngest person
in this class.

60
00:02:20,641 --> 00:02:22,434
(chuckles):
That's funny.

61
00:02:25,062 --> 00:02:26,981
Oh, good.

62
00:02:27,022 --> 00:02:28,482
I see you two have met.

63
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:30,191
I'm younger than him.

64
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:32,903
How come you never mentioned
she was coming to this class?

65
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:35,155
I thought it would be
a fun surprise.

66
00:02:35,196 --> 00:02:36,615
I don't like surprises.

67
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:38,033
Neither do I.

68
00:02:38,075 --> 00:02:39,576
Then why did you do it?

69
00:02:39,618 --> 00:02:41,578
Some people like surprises.

70
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:43,080
I love surprises.

71
00:02:43,122 --> 00:02:44,539
Did you enjoy this one?

72
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:48,167
Yes.
A 50% success rate.

73
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:50,295
Not bad. Let's get started.

74
00:02:50,337 --> 00:02:53,841
ADULT SHELDON: Not since sharing
a uterus with my twin sister

75
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:57,302
have I been so unhappy

Awful quiet back there.

80
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:12,191
I'm having an emotion
I'm unfamiliar with.

81
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:15,112
Hmm. Think it might
have something to do

82
00:03:15,154 --> 00:03:16,237
with your new classmate?

83
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:17,781
It's possible.

84
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:19,950
She's the only variable
in the social equation.

85
00:03:19,992 --> 00:03:22,494
So what are you feeling?

86
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,496
My face is hot,

87
00:03:24,538 --> 00:03:26,123
I've a knot in my stomach,

88
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:28,542
and I'm resisting the urge
to kick your seat right now.

89
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:30,836
I'm thinking it
might be jealousy.

90
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:32,462
No, that's not in my nature.

91
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:34,756
All right, let's go through
all the emotions.

92
00:03:34,798 --> 00:03:36,800
I'm looking at your face,

93
00:03:36,842 --> 00:03:38,886
so I'm gonna rule out happy.

94
00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:40,637
Are you sad?

95
00:03:40,679 --> 00:03:42,472
No, there's too much anger
in there.

96
00:03:42,514 --> 00:03:43,849
Oh, well, maybe you're angry.

97
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,600
No, there's too much sad
in there.

98
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:47,144
Maybe you got a little crush
on her.

99
00:03:47,186 --> 00:03:49,104
Do you want me
to kick your seat?

100
00:03:49,146 --> 00:03:51,272
I don't know, Moonpie.

101
00:03:51,314 --> 00:03:53,525
I'm still thinking
it might be jealousy.

102
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:57,071
Give me one reason
why I would be jealous.

103
00:03:57,112 --> 00:03:59,489
Well, Dr. Sturgis
means a lot to you,

104
00:03:59,531 --> 00:04:01,491
and now he's paying
attention to somebody else.

105
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:03,827
You're used to being
the only smart kid around,

106
00:04:03,869 --> 00:04:05,746
and now there's another.

107
00:04:05,787 --> 00:04:07,414
Oh, and there's
the possibility...

108
00:04:07,455 --> 00:04:08,957
I said one reason, thank you.

109
00:04:08,999 --> 00:04:11,543
♪ Yeah... ♪

110
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,754

111
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:16,297
Hello?

112
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:17,632
STURGIS (on phone):
Hello, Mary.

113
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:19,593
This is John Sturgis,

114
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:22,262
Sheldon's professor
and your mother's lover.

115
00:04:22,303 --> 00:04:25,306
Hi. And "John"
was more than enough.

116
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:28,518
I was calling because there's
a new student in my class

117
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,895
who's Sheldon's age.

118
00:04:29,937 --> 00:04:31,479
No kidding.

119
00:04:31,521 --> 00:04:35,150
Her mother wondered if I could
put you two in contact

120
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:37,277
since you have so much
in common.

121
00:04:37,318 --> 00:04:40,030
Oh, of course.

122
00:04:40,072 --> 00:04:41,489
Excellent.

123
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:43,324
I'll give you the number
when you're ready.

124
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:44,659
Um...

125
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:47,454
I am ready.

126
00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:52,375
409-356-6049.

127
00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:54,253
John?

128
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:55,545
Yes?

129
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:56,880
That's my number.

130
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:58,132
(laughs)

131
00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:00,134
So it is!

132
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:04,721
This is so exciting.

133
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:07,224
Don't you understand
what this means?

134
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:10,477
Rather than me feel dumb,
how about you just tell me?

135
00:05:10,518 --> 00:05:14,064
These are parents
we can actually relate to.

136
00:05:14,106 --> 00:05:16,733
Yeah, sure.
All the times we wonder

137
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:19,360
if we're doing right by Sheldon
or how to handle him,

138
00:05:19,402 --> 00:05:21,446
we finally have someone
to compare notes with.

139
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:22,781
There's notes?

140
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:24,241
(chuckles):
I just been winging it.

141
00:05:24,283 --> 00:05:26,534
I'm gonna call her right now.
Sounds good.

142
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:27,995
(squeals)

143
00:05:28,036 --> 00:05:29,830
Oh, thank you, Lord,
for connecting us

144
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:32,291
with the parents
of another special child.

145
00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:38,379
You kids are special, too.

146
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:40,966
Do you feel special?

147
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:43,010
At least
I'm the only daughter.

148
00:05:43,051 --> 00:05:44,636
You got nothing.

149
00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:46,429
SHELDON:
And she's such a know-it-all.

150
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:47,806
Yeah, you mentioned that.

151
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,516
I'm surprised her
arm wasn't sore

152
00:05:49,557 --> 00:05:50,976
from raising her hand so much.

153
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:52,227
Yep, sure.

154
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:54,021
And who goes to college
with stickers

155
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:55,605
on their notepad?

156
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:56,815
I don't know.

157
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,650
Unicorn stickers.

158
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,527
And we're home.

159
00:06:00,568 --> 00:06:01,862
Hey, Shelly.

160
00:06:01,903 --> 00:06:03,655
Guess who's coming
over tomorrow?

161
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,241
Your new friend Paige.

162
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:08,409
Okay, I'm gonna go.

163
00:06:13,581 --> 00:06:15,625
Come on, Shelly. Maybe
you'll end up being friends.

164
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:17,044
I don't like her,

165
00:06:17,085 --> 00:06:18,419
I'm not going to like her,
and Tam is my friend.

166
00:06:18,461 --> 00:06:19,713
I don't need another one.

167
00:06:19,754 --> 00:06:21,756
You can have more
than one friend.

168
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:23,884
I'm sure Tam
has other friends.

169
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:25,552
No, I'm all he's got.

170
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:27,929
And even I avoid him
half the time.

171
00:06:27,971 --> 00:06:30,057
Also, you don't have
any friends.

172
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:31,599
Why are you so worried about me?

173
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:34,102
I have friends.

174
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:36,813
Then how come the only person
who ever comes over is Meemaw?

175
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:38,148
Because...

176
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:39,816
Okay, this isn't about me.

177
00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:43,070
So Paige didn't make a
good first impression,

178
00:06:43,111 --> 00:06:44,238
but that can change.

179
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,532
What's that new Star Trek show?

180
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:49,450
Next Generation?

181
00:06:49,492 --> 00:06:51,953
When that first came on,
you said a new Star Trek

182
00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:54,539
without Dr. Spock
could never be good,

183
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:56,708
but I've seen you watching it.

184
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,127
Well, first of all,
it's Mr. Spock.

185
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:01,462
Dr. Spock writes books
about babies.

186
00:07:01,504 --> 00:07:02,964
My apologies.

187
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:05,384
And second of all,
Paige isn't a TV show.

188
00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:08,427
She's a person, and we all know
how I feel about people.

189
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:10,097
(blows raspberry)

190
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:14,809
(sighs)

191
00:07:14,851 --> 00:07:16,061
Okay, look.

192
00:07:16,103 --> 00:07:17,354
You're right.

193
00:07:20,357 --> 00:07:23,651
I don't have many friends,

194
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:27,739
so I was hoping
to get to know Paige's mom.

195
00:07:31,326 --> 00:07:33,494
But if it makes you
uncomfortable,

196
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:36,331
then I will call her
and cancel.

197
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:42,837
I'll think about it.

198
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,632
Thank you, baby.

199
00:07:45,673 --> 00:07:48,135
ADULT SHELDON: Guilt
and jealousy in the same day.

200
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:50,595
I slept hard that night.

201
00:07:51,512 --> 00:07:53,890
Mmm.

202
00:07:53,932 --> 00:07:57,894
Did you know that there's a type
of vanilla flavoring

203
00:07:57,936 --> 00:08:00,439
derived from the anal glands

204
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:01,982
of the North American beaver?

205
00:08:02,023 --> 00:08:04,151
That seems like a fact
you could have shared

206
00:08:04,192 --> 00:08:05,568
before we started eating.

207
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:07,404
It isn't used very often.

208
00:08:07,446 --> 00:08:11,408
I understand it's difficult
to, uh, milk the little sacs.

209
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:14,161
Cool. Okay, new topic.

210
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:16,121
Let's talk about Sheldon.

211
00:08:16,163 --> 00:08:18,373
Wonderful. What about him?

212
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:21,709
He's having kind of a hard time
with the new girl in your class.

213
00:08:21,751 --> 00:08:23,503
Really? Why?

214
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:26,381
He's jealous of the attention
you're paying her.

215
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:28,925
Well, she's remarkable.

216
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:30,885
You see that? Less of that.

217
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:32,929
But I think
he's remarkable, too.

218
00:08:32,971 --> 00:08:34,848
Perfect. More of that,
less of the other one.

219
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:36,724
Understood.

220
00:08:36,766 --> 00:08:39,478
See, this is why
we're great together.

221
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,938
You teach me
about social etiquette,

222
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,483
and I teach you
about beaver anuses.

223
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,485
(chuckles):
It is magical.

224
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:50,655
Did you know "ani"
is also acceptable

225
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:52,282
as the plural of "anus"?

226
00:08:52,324 --> 00:08:54,701
And the magic continues.

227
00:08:54,742 --> 00:08:57,204
(chuckles)

228
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:00,457
SPOCK: Must have been most
difficult for you to share.

229
00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:02,417
ADULT SHELDON: The thought
of spending an afternoon

230
00:09:02,459 --> 00:09:04,294
with Paige seemed excruciating,

231
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:06,380
but I wanted
to make my mother happy.

232
00:09:06,421 --> 00:09:08,089
I was torn.

233
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:10,050
The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,

234
00:09:10,091 --> 00:09:12,219
is what keeps us healthy--

235
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:13,970
emotionally healthy, that is.

236
00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:17,598
ADULT SHELDON: Luckily, the wise
words of Gene Roddenberry

237
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,642
flatly delivered
by Leonard Nimoy

238
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:21,269
resolved my dilemma.

239
00:09:21,311 --> 00:09:22,979
That may be, Doctor.

240
00:09:23,021 --> 00:09:25,106
However, I have noted

241
00:09:25,148 --> 00:09:29,069
that the healthy release
of emotion

242
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:32,030
is frequently very unhealthy.

243
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:35,658
I realized if Mr. Spock
could rise above his emotions

244
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,119
while the fate of the
Enterprise hung in the balance,

245
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:41,373
certainly I could tolerate
Paige for a few hours.

246
00:09:41,415 --> 00:09:43,791
GEORGE JR.: I'm not
watching this crap.

247
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,502
Why do I listen to you?

248
00:09:45,544 --> 00:09:48,838
WOMAN: Tony, this is going
to help you choose a major.

249
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,216
This test is designed
to help you focus.
(exhales)

250
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:52,759
TONY: I know, but what if it
says all I'm good at is...

251
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,177
What are you doing?

252
00:09:54,219 --> 00:09:56,346
Suppressing my emotions.

253
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,432
Oh, yeah? Suppress this.

254
00:09:58,473 --> 00:09:59,724
(belches)

255
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:01,560
(blows)

256
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,770
(whispers):
Hot dogs.

257
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,732
♪ ♪

258
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:10,860
ADULT SHELDON: Vulcans use
a technique called Kolinahr

259
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:12,153
to suppress their emotions.

260
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,780
MARY: Sheldon,
they're here!

261
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:15,574
Obviously, I wasn't a Vulcan.

262
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,158
So I did the next best thing:

263
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,744
took my feelings
and shoved them down so far

264
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:21,496
they may have been lost
forever.

265
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:23,457
Hi, Sheldon!

266
00:10:23,498 --> 00:10:25,625
The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,

267
00:10:25,666 --> 00:10:27,544
is what keeps us healthy.

268
00:10:27,586 --> 00:10:30,464
Dr. McCoy was an idiot.

269
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:34,842
Well, you just have
a beautiful home.

270
00:10:34,884 --> 00:10:37,137
Thank you.
Can I interest anyone

271
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:38,637
in something stronger
than iced tea?

272
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,515
Oh, well, I'll take a beer
if you have one.

273
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:42,392
Don't worry.
He's personally keeping

274
00:10:42,434 --> 00:10:44,936
the Lone Star Brewing Company
in business.

275
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,020
(laughing)

276
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:47,439
They did send me a belt buckle.

277
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:49,399
(chuckling)
Be right back.

278
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:52,693
So, Barry, uh,
Linda tells me

279
00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:54,362
you're a dentist?
Uh, yes.

280
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,030
I have a practice up
in Jasper.

281
00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:58,825
Uh, Paige actually does some
of the bookkeeping for us.

282
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:00,076
That's so funny.

283
00:11:00,118 --> 00:11:01,453
Sheldon does our taxes.

284
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,580
Oh!
(chuckles)
Yeah, we used to pay her

285
00:11:03,622 --> 00:11:04,872
in stickers,
but, this year,

286
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:06,374
she actually started
asking for money.

287
00:11:06,416 --> 00:11:07,875
Well, don't let Sheldon
hear that.

288
00:11:07,917 --> 00:11:09,127
We pay him in binder clips.

289
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:11,045
(chuckles)
He loves being
organized.

290
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:12,713
Boy, does he.

291
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:14,466
We can't go to the grocery store
without him making sure

292
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:16,510
that all the labels
are facing the right way.

293
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:20,013
Oh, the stock boys there
are always so happy to see him.

294
00:11:20,054 --> 00:11:21,055
(laughing)

295
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:22,474
That's adorable.
Well,

296
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:24,559
it wasn't adorable
when we redid our shower

297
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:27,479
and he wouldn't use it 'cause
two of the tiles were crooked.

298
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:28,896
He took baths
in the sink

299
00:11:28,938 --> 00:11:30,231
until we got it fixed.

300
00:11:30,273 --> 00:11:32,066
(laughing)

301
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:35,320
So does Paige do
any quirky stuff like that?

302
00:11:36,237 --> 00:11:38,615
No.
Not really.

303
00:11:38,657 --> 00:11:40,033
Oh.

304
00:11:41,742 --> 00:11:43,995
Now, since we'll be spending
a few hours together,

305
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,498
I've created a list of
activities to keep us occupied.

306
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:47,915
We'll start with
a tour of my room,

307
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,001
then board games,
and, if time permits,

308
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:52,337
you can look at
and not touch my trains.

309
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:53,963
Oh, My Little Pony.

310
00:11:54,005 --> 00:11:55,965
I love My Little Pony.

311
00:11:56,007 --> 00:11:58,301
That's my sister's,
and it's not part of the tour.

312
00:11:58,343 --> 00:12:00,220
I share a room
with my sister, too.

313
00:12:00,261 --> 00:12:01,638
It's super fun.

314
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,014
You're wrong.

315
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:05,559
Now, over here, we have my desk.

316
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,687
This is my computer.
That's my mouse.

317
00:12:08,727 --> 00:12:11,398
This is my printer. This is the
paper that goes in the printer.

318
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,274
This is a box of extra paper

319
00:12:13,316 --> 00:12:15,026
that also goes
in the printer.

320
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:19,406
And this is my signed picture
of Professor Proton.

321
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:22,200
Do you watch his show?

322
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:24,494
No. I don't
really like it.

323
00:12:24,536 --> 00:12:26,287
You don't?

324
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:27,664
I think he's boring.

325
00:12:28,747 --> 00:12:30,875
And he dumbs everything down.

326
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:33,920
ADULT SHELDON: Come on,
Kolinahr, don't fail me now.

327
00:12:33,961 --> 00:12:36,797
And next on the tour,
we have...

328
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:38,633
a lamp.

329
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:41,720
(sighs)

330
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,305
(quietly): This is not
making me feel better.

331
00:12:44,347 --> 00:12:45,682
Their kid is perfect.

332
00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:46,974
And so is ours.

333
00:12:47,016 --> 00:12:49,477
So we're lying to
each other. Fine.

334
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,812
It's just nice to get to know
another family

335
00:12:51,854 --> 00:12:54,232
who's in a similar situation
as us.

336
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,568
And we're still lying.
(sighs)

337
00:12:59,778 --> 00:13:01,906
What grade
are you in?

338
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:03,658
Eighth.

339
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:04,909
You?

340
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:06,578
Tenth.

341
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,995
Cool.

342
00:13:08,996 --> 00:13:11,082
Nobody asked, but fourth.

343
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:14,919
Why do grownups do this?

344
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:17,171
They love to stick random kids
together

345
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:19,132
and expect them
to just be friends.

346
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:21,301
I know. I hate that.

347
00:13:21,342 --> 00:13:22,594
Fresh Prince is right.

348
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:24,220
Parents just don't understand.

349
00:13:24,262 --> 00:13:26,013
(chuckles)
I love that song.

350
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:27,390
MISSY: I have a
cassette of it,

351
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:29,643
but I recorded it off the radio.

352
00:13:29,684 --> 00:13:31,060
You can hear Sheldon
in the background

353
00:13:31,102 --> 00:13:34,105
saying stuff
about Sir Isaac Neutron.

354
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:37,191
Ugh, my sister's
always talking about him.

355
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:38,735
I don't know why.

356
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:40,403
I think he's dead.

357
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:42,614
You have no idea
how much it sucks

358
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:44,198
to have a brother
like him.

359
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,367
Believe it or not,
he's in my class.

360
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:49,287
My parents sent Paige
to a private school.

361
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:52,332
Cool. We're too
poor for that.

362
00:13:55,710 --> 00:13:57,044
(sighs)

363
00:13:57,086 --> 00:14:00,423
Does Sheldon
make you feel stupid?

364
00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:02,467
Nah, I'm smart in other ways.

365
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,968
Me, too.

366
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:05,804
Hey, I saw an old TV
in the alley.

367
00:14:05,844 --> 00:14:06,971
Want to go throw rocks at it?

368
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:09,557
Cool!
Hell yeah!
Let's do it.

369
00:14:10,975 --> 00:14:12,851
We could play traditional chess.

370
00:14:12,893 --> 00:14:14,354
Or if you're interested,
we could play a variant

371
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:16,481
with a new piece I invented.

372
00:14:16,523 --> 00:14:17,816
That sounds fun.

373
00:14:17,856 --> 00:14:19,734
What's the new piece?

374
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:21,152
A wizard.

375
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:22,903
The wizard cannot be taken,
and, at any point,

376
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:26,282
he can teleport and switch
places with any other piece.

377
00:14:26,324 --> 00:14:28,368
Yes, but there's
an obvious flaw.

378
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:31,329
What flaw?
Well, any time
anyone is checkmated,

379
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:33,956
they can simply have the wizard
and their king switch places.

380
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:36,000
So the game will never end.

381
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:39,212
I knew that.
You passed my test.

382
00:14:40,463 --> 00:14:42,131
We told Paige
that if she won

383
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,758
the regional spelling bee,
she could get a puppy.

384
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,092
We ended up with two,

385
00:14:45,134 --> 00:14:47,094
'cause she won twice.
(chuckles)

386
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:49,263
(chuckles):
Fun! That-That's fun.

387
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:51,516
BARRY:
All right,

388
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:52,684
that's enough about Paige.

389
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:54,686
So, George, I know you're

390
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:55,978
a football coach.

391
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,271
What about you, Mary?

392
00:14:57,313 --> 00:14:58,981
I work part-time at the church.

393
00:14:59,023 --> 00:15:00,441
Oh.
Oh, that's so nice.

394
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:01,901
I used to work at the
practice with Barry,

395
00:15:01,942 --> 00:15:04,111
but I had to quit
once Paige's schedule

396
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:05,279
started to get busy.
Mm.

397
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:06,781
Well, that's understandable.

398
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:09,492
A unique child
can require a lot of attention.

399
00:15:09,534 --> 00:15:10,618
(Barry chuckles)

400
00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:12,911
Mm. Try all
the attention. Hmm?

401
00:15:12,953 --> 00:15:15,707
(chuckles): Okay. You know
that's not true, Barry.
Well...

402
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,291
(chuckles)
She's...

403
00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:18,710
she's right. It's not.

404
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:20,545
Although I did spend
Father's Day alone

405
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:22,630
'cause she took Paige
to a robotics show.

406
00:15:22,672 --> 00:15:24,090
Okay. That's
enough, Barry.

407
00:15:24,131 --> 00:15:25,884
They don't need
to hear all this.

408
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,510
(chuckles)
GEORGE SR.: That's okay.

409
00:15:27,552 --> 00:15:28,969
(stammers) That's why
we're getting together,

410
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:31,639
you know, talk about
this kind of stuff.

411
00:15:31,681 --> 00:15:34,475
Barry, it sounds like
you might be feeling left out.

412
00:15:34,517 --> 00:15:35,935
Oh.
(chuckles) No.

413
00:15:35,976 --> 00:15:37,228
(laughs)

414
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,605
Sometimes I do.

415
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:40,523
And it's not just me.
It's Erica, too.

416
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:43,067
Oh, now he's just
being dramatic.

417
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,444
Erica gets a lot
of attention,

418
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:46,821
and she's just a joy.
(chuckles)

419
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:50,742
Dang it, the
screen won't break.

420
00:15:50,784 --> 00:15:52,702
Bet it'll break
if we blow it up.

421
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,251
(whispers):
I love her.

422
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:01,586
Fine, you're right.

423
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:02,837
Erica's doing just great.

424
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:04,464
Nothing to worry about there.

425
00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:05,882
(chuckles)

426
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,219
ERICA:
Oh, come on.

427
00:16:11,178 --> 00:16:13,556
You got any matches?

428
00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:15,099
Be right back.

429
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:22,523
While she's gone,
you want to make out?

430
00:16:22,565 --> 00:16:23,942
Sure.

431
00:16:25,192 --> 00:16:27,612
You actually believe
in the multiverse theory?

432
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:28,863
Very much so.

433
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:30,490
It's the most elegant
interpretation

434
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:32,241
of quantum mechanics.

435
00:16:32,283 --> 00:16:35,703
So you really think there are
an infinite number of universes?

436
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:38,665
Stephen Hawking believes it,
so, yes, I do.

437
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:42,084
Well, if there are
an infinite number of universes,

438
00:16:42,126 --> 00:16:44,629
I think that theory's dumb
in all of them.

439
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:47,047
(chuckles)

440
00:16:47,089 --> 00:16:48,633
This is fun.

441
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,008
I don't get to have
discussions like this

442
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:51,302
with kids at my school.

443
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:52,679
Do you?

444
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,473
No.

445
00:17:02,229 --> 00:17:05,525
Do you ever wish you were
just like everyone else?

446
00:17:06,484 --> 00:17:07,902
Not at all.

447
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:09,529
(chuckles)
Me neither.

448
00:17:09,570 --> 00:17:11,906
I love being smarter
than everyone. (chuckles)

449
00:17:11,948 --> 00:17:13,616
Me, too.

450
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:15,493
ADULT SHELDON: I started
to think that Paige and I

451
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,453
might have more in common
than I thought.

452
00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:19,079
Maybe my mother was right.

453
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:22,792
I really did just need
to get to know her better.

454
00:17:22,834 --> 00:17:24,502
Checkmate!

455
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:26,754
You lose.
(chuckles)

456
00:17:26,796 --> 00:17:28,172
KIRK: Red alert.
(alarm sounding)

457
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,341
Phasers stand by to fire
on my order.

458
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:32,677
Guess that makes
me the smartest.

459
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:34,929
ADULT SHELDON: I don't know
if ten-year-old Spock

460
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:36,347
ever flipped a chess board,

461
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:39,141
but ten-year-old Sheldon
sure did.

462
00:17:39,183 --> 00:17:42,311
(alarm sounding)
(Star Trek fight music playing)

463
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:45,272
(Barry and Linda
bickering indistinctly)

464
00:17:45,314 --> 00:17:48,067
Got to say, I'm glad
we invited 'em over.

465
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:50,486
(clinking)
Don't you get him another beer.

466
00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:52,321
Come on. You love this
and you know it.

467
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,949
They're as messed up as we are.

468
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:57,618
Fine. But one more
and that's it.

469
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:58,953
(loud boom)
(gasps)

470
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:00,538
GEORGE JR.:
Whoa!
ERICA: Yes!

471
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:03,207
MISSY:
Holy crap!

472
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,835
Don't you--
Go out there and check!

473
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:10,006
Now, does anyone know
what happens to quarks

474
00:18:10,048 --> 00:18:11,131
when we combine them

475
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,010
to make mesons and baryons?

476
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:16,721
Yes, Paige.

477
00:18:16,763 --> 00:18:18,556
We can ignore
the particle masses

478
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:20,391
at the individual quark level.

479
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:22,226
Correct.
(chuckles): You

480
00:18:22,268 --> 00:18:23,853
are really...

481
00:18:25,897 --> 00:18:28,983
He's jealous of you
paying attention to her.

482
00:18:29,984 --> 00:18:32,236
That was correct, Paige.

483
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:34,280
And, Sheldon,

484
00:18:34,321 --> 00:18:37,116
is that a new bow tie?

485
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:39,243
It is.

486
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:40,870
Lookin' sharp!

487
00:18:40,912 --> 00:18:42,789
Thanks.

488
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:44,498
That was a close one.

489
00:18:44,540 --> 00:18:46,709
As I was saying,
we only...
ttention to her.
