1
00:00:01,627 --> 00:00:03,462
Previously on Young Sheldon...
Well, we've covered

2
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:04,755
football and grandkids...

3
00:00:04,797 --> 00:00:06,841
Maybe we've run out of
stuff to talk about.

4
00:00:06,882 --> 00:00:08,592
We forgot about your ex-husband.

5
00:00:08,634 --> 00:00:10,845
(laughs) The one
you're dating.

6
00:00:10,886 --> 00:00:14,055
Well, I know not to piss him off
during a hailstorm.

7
00:00:14,097 --> 00:00:15,975
Well, did he tell you
that I was naked

8
00:00:16,015 --> 00:00:17,351
when he locked me out?

9
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:18,936
(laughing):
What were you doing naked

10
00:00:18,978 --> 00:00:20,980
with a golf club in a hailstorm?

11
00:00:21,062 --> 00:00:24,065
Ah, you know, it was the '70s.

12
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:26,485
I was just calling to let
you know I read your paper.

13
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:28,612
The masses for your neutrinos
are impossible.

14
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:32,783
I completely rewrote the
whole thing from scratch.

15
00:00:32,825 --> 00:00:35,035
I know credits are
usually listed alphabetically,

16
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:37,955
but I'm completely fine
with my name going second.

17
00:00:37,997 --> 00:00:40,582
I'm not putting your name on it
in any way.

18
00:00:40,624 --> 00:00:41,625
Grant Linkletter.

19
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:43,711
Dr. Sturgis has stolen my work

20
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:45,754
and is using it
in his own paper.

21
00:00:45,796 --> 00:00:47,631
How dare you accuse me

22
00:00:47,673 --> 00:00:49,048
of plagiarism!

23
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:50,759
I don't want to see you
in my class anymore.

24
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:52,553
(dial tone drones)

25
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,891
MARY:
I see, Dr. Sturgis.

26
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:01,353
Yes, that is
unforgivable behavior.

27
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:03,605
Okay. Bye.

28
00:01:04,398 --> 00:01:05,691
Did he apologize?

29
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:07,317
No. He is very upset with you.

30
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:09,403
Well, I'm upset with him.

31
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:11,488
That doesn't excuse you
from trying

32
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:13,949
to get him in trouble
by calling Dr. Linkletter.

33
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:16,076
Who else was I supposed
to tattle to?

34
00:01:16,117 --> 00:01:18,161
I doubt his mother's
still alive.

35
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:20,497
Sheldon, I understand
why you're upset,

36
00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:22,917
but you still owe him
an apology.

37
00:01:22,958 --> 00:01:24,919
Then you don't understand.

38
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,671
Well, for now,
it sounds like you two

39
00:01:27,713 --> 00:01:29,548
could use a little quiet time.

40
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,926
Fine. I'll switch over to
Dr. Linkletter's class.

41
00:01:31,967 --> 00:01:33,594
He's a foot taller
than Sturgis

42
00:01:33,635 --> 00:01:35,596
and can reach more
of the chalkboard.

43
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:37,890
What I meant was...

44
00:01:37,932 --> 00:01:41,060
maybe it's time to take a break
from your college classes.

45
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,604
What? Why? I've
gotten straight As.

46
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:46,065
I know you're smart enough
for college.

47
00:01:46,105 --> 00:01:49,150
I'm just not sure
you're mature enough.

48
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:51,486
Well, it appears you've
backed me into a corner.

49
00:01:51,528 --> 00:01:53,530
I would throw a
tantrum right now,

50
00:01:53,572 --> 00:01:56,075
but that would just
prove your point.

51
00:01:56,825 --> 00:01:58,159
Where are you going?

52
00:01:58,201 --> 00:02:00,079
To play with my trains.

53
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:03,916
Which may sound immature, but
it's a hobby many old men enjoy.

54
00:02:05,042 --> 00:02:07,962
♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪

55
00:02:08,003 --> 00:02:11,006
♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain ♪

56
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:13,341
♪ I bet I could be your hero ♪

57
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:15,594
♪ I am a mighty little man ♪

58
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:20,181
♪ I am a mighty little man. ♪

59
00:02:23,018 --> 00:02:25,353
(whistle blows)

60
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,607
(laughing)

61
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,776
I'm the only cheerleader
you should be looking at.

62
00:02:30,818 --> 00:02:33,570
Oh. Hi. Oh, I was
trying to find you.

63
00:02:33,612 --> 00:02:36,323
Just wanted to wish you
a good game.
Thank you.

64
00:02:36,364 --> 00:02:37,866
I'm gonna be cheering for you.

65
00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:40,119
Great.
Unless I catch you
looking at someone else.

66
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,369
Then you'll regret it.

67
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:42,621
(chuckles)

68
00:02:42,663 --> 00:02:44,873
I'm not kidding.

69
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:47,918
Hi, George.

70
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,004
Oh, hey, Ms. Hutchins.

71
00:02:50,045 --> 00:02:52,673
I don't think I've ever seen you
at a game before.

72
00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:55,134
Well, uh, it's Friday, and
I promised my therapist

73
00:02:55,174 --> 00:02:57,928
I'd try one new thing a week.
And you picked football.

74
00:02:57,970 --> 00:02:59,429
Good for you.

75
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:01,849
I don't suppose
Sheldon's here?

76
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,726
Nah, he doesn't much care
for outdoor sports.

77
00:03:04,768 --> 00:03:06,436
Or sports.

78
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:08,063
Or the outdoors.

79
00:03:08,105 --> 00:03:10,357
I was hoping I'd have
someone to sit with.

80
00:03:10,398 --> 00:03:12,359
Ah, sorry.
That's okay.

81
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,570
It was my fault
for letting myself feel hope.

82
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:18,490
You're welcome to watch
from the sidelines.

83
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:21,451
Thanks. Watching life
go by from the sidelines

84
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:23,662
is kind of my thing.

85
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:26,040
Hey, heads up!

86
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:29,835
(whistles blow)
(exclaiming)

87
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:32,046
Oh, my God.
Are you okay?

88
00:03:32,087 --> 00:03:33,588
I don't think so.

89
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,049
Call an ambulance.

90
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:36,550
Don't worry,

91
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:38,010
we're gonna get you
taken care of.

92
00:03:38,052 --> 00:03:42,139
If I die,
tell my therapist I hate him.

93
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:44,307
SHELDON:
And who says

94
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:46,060
you have to be mature
to go to college?

95
00:03:46,101 --> 00:03:47,352
I've seen Animal House.

96
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,479
You have?
Well, I've seen the poster.

97
00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:52,066
Those people are not
college material.

98
00:03:52,107 --> 00:03:54,275
Moon Pie, I know
you don't like to hear this,

99
00:03:54,317 --> 00:03:56,737
but there are some things
in life

100
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,780
that can only be learned
in time.

101
00:03:58,822 --> 00:04:00,991
So you must have learned
them all, huh?

102
00:04:01,033 --> 00:04:03,660
Get out of my house.

103
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:07,915
Hang in there.
I'm hangin'.

104
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:11,334
Hey, this will be quite a story
to tell your grandkids, huh?

105
00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:12,711
I live alone. I'm single.

106
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:14,546
I don't think grandkids are
in the picture.

107
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:17,716
Oh. Well, I...
I got a wife, kids. It's...

108
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:19,634
It's overrated.

109
00:04:20,343 --> 00:04:21,720
And then my mother said

110
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,722
I wasn't mature enough
for college.

111
00:04:23,764 --> 00:04:25,057
Can you believe that?

112
00:04:25,099 --> 00:04:26,641
Absolutely.

113
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:28,143
So you're on their side, too?

114
00:04:28,185 --> 00:04:30,353
I'm Vietnamese.
In my culture,

115
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:31,772
until your parents die,

116
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,941
you're basically a baby.
Really?

117
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:36,610
My grandmother still treats
my dad like a child.

118
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:37,986
At dinner,
he can't sit

119
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:39,404
until she sits,

120
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,698
and he can't speak
until he's spoken to.

121
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:43,742
Well, I'm glad
I'm not Vietnamese.

122
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:45,619
It's not as fun
as I make it look.

123
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,287
Mm.

124
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:50,707
Well, you can't bring her home
to an empty apartment.

125
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:52,459
Bring her here,
and we'll look after her

126
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:53,961
until she's back on her feet.

127
00:04:54,002 --> 00:04:55,045
You sure?

128
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:56,255
Of course.

129
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:57,464
We'll set her up
in Georgie's room.

130
00:04:57,505 --> 00:04:59,340
Thanks, Mare.
See you in a bit.

131
00:04:59,382 --> 00:05:00,926
Hey, George.

132
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:04,554
It's real nice of you,
taking care of her like this.

133
00:05:04,596 --> 00:05:06,431
Well, it was kinda my fault.

134
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,391
Kinda? It was all your fault.

135
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:10,144
Bye.

136
00:05:10,185 --> 00:05:11,645
Hey.

137
00:05:11,686 --> 00:05:13,897
Hey. How'd we do?

138
00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:15,857
You didn't miss anything.
That bad?

139
00:05:15,899 --> 00:05:18,359
I can safely say you saw
the best hit of the night.

140
00:05:18,401 --> 00:05:20,279
(sighs):
Whew.

141
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,613
How's she doing?

142
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,698
Well, not bad.

143
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:25,200
Could be worse.

144
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:27,786
A little whiplash,

145
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,788
couple of bruised ribs,

146
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:31,414
broken arm...

147
00:05:31,456 --> 00:05:33,167
and collarbone.

148
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:34,668
But that's it.

149
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:36,335
Pretty funny
how you jumped out of the way

150
00:05:36,377 --> 00:05:37,504
and let her get clobbered.

151
00:05:37,545 --> 00:05:39,047
I did not jump out of the way!

152
00:05:39,089 --> 00:05:40,339
Oh, yeah, you did.

153
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:41,800
(chuckles):
They got you on tape.

154
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,177
Okay, fine.

155
00:05:43,218 --> 00:05:45,804
But that was
pure instinct.

156
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,765
Besides, she shouldn't have
been standing on the sidelines.

157
00:05:48,807 --> 00:05:50,309
Why was she there?

158
00:05:51,268 --> 00:05:52,894
I told her she could.

159
00:05:52,936 --> 00:05:54,855
(laughing):
Oh, man, you must feel terrible.

160
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:56,064
Yeah, of course I do.

161
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:58,233
I mean, it's all on you.

162
00:05:58,275 --> 00:05:59,818
You done?

163
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:03,655
Oh-ho-ho, baby,
I'm just getting started.

164
00:06:06,158 --> 00:06:09,286
Oh, you poor dear.
Come on in.

165
00:06:09,328 --> 00:06:11,496
Thanks. I hope
I'm not putting you out.

166
00:06:11,538 --> 00:06:13,165
Of course not.

167
00:06:14,373 --> 00:06:15,959
Hi, Sheldon.

168
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:19,087
Can you believe my mother
said I can't go to college?

169
00:06:22,465 --> 00:06:25,260
So you just put her in my room
without consulting me?

170
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:26,803
Consulting you?

171
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:28,138
Who cares what you think?

172
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:29,556
Well, I ain't gonna
sleep on the couch.

173
00:06:29,597 --> 00:06:30,849
It's just for a few nights

174
00:06:30,891 --> 00:06:32,517
until she can take care
of herself.

175
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:34,686
Can I at least
stay at Meemaw's?

176
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:36,688
If you promise

incorporated my math,

181

he refused to give me
a coauthor credit.

182
00:06:48,283 --> 00:06:50,660
Sheldon, she doesn't want
to hear about that.

184
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:54,664

did you hear a crunch?

185

No.

No.

I supposed to do?

215

217

Pretty sad.

Be careful.
You could become addicted

230

00:13:13,792 --> 00:13:15,211
Hey, hey. We
have a guest.

356
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:16,963
Let's pretend like
we like each other.

357
00:13:17,004 --> 00:13:18,005
(chuckles)

358
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:19,882
Mare, do your grace thing.

359
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:22,636
♪ I love the melody... ♪

360
00:13:22,677 --> 00:13:24,137
You okay with Mexican?

361
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:25,388
Oh, yeah.
Terrific.

362
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:26,931
All right.

363
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:28,807
Now, I got Tums in the glovebox
for the ride home.

364
00:13:28,849 --> 00:13:31,269
Great.
(chuckles)
(chuckles softly)

365
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:33,730
So, you talk
to June lately?

366
00:13:33,772 --> 00:13:37,024
Uh, not in a couple
of days. Why?

367
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,652
Oh, no reason.

368
00:13:38,693 --> 00:13:40,320
I was just kind of thinking
about calling her myself.

369
00:13:40,361 --> 00:13:42,113
I mean,
if you're okay with that.

370
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:44,783
You want to call my ex-wife,
go ahead.

371
00:13:44,823 --> 00:13:46,159
Call her.

372
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,286
Well, I wouldn't want you
to feel uncomfortable.

373
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:49,579
Yeah, you would.

374
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:50,789
Yeah, I would.
(chuckles)

375
00:13:50,829 --> 00:13:52,624
I think it's nice

376
00:13:52,666 --> 00:13:54,292
that y'all get along
as well as you do.

377
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:55,834
Mm-hmm.

378
00:13:55,876 --> 00:13:57,504
Where are we
going with this?

379
00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:59,756
Oh, just nothing.
Makin' conversation.

380
00:13:59,798 --> 00:14:01,174
Okay.

381
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:02,509
You sleeping with her?

382
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:03,842
Lord, no.

383
00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:05,762
She's my ex-wife. Come on.

384
00:14:05,804 --> 00:14:10,141
Oh, my gosh, what kind of sicko
sleeps with their ex-wife?

385
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,643
Where is this
coming from?

386
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:13,102
Are you jealous?

387
00:14:13,144 --> 00:14:14,853
No.

388
00:14:14,895 --> 00:14:16,731
I'd just like to know, you know,

389
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:18,274
what kind of relationship
we're in.

390
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:21,402
I mean, are we seeing
other people or what?

391
00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:23,404
Connie Tucker,

392
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:26,032
are you asking me
to go steady?

393
00:14:26,073 --> 00:14:28,576
You know what I'm asking,
jackass.
(chuckles)

394
00:14:28,618 --> 00:14:29,994
All right, all right, all right.

395
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:32,163
You listen to me.
Now, I'm 72 years old.

396
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:33,832
Do you think I have
enough stamina

397
00:14:33,872 --> 00:14:36,292
to go playing around
with other women?

398
00:14:36,334 --> 00:14:38,085
You saying the only reason
you're seeing me

399
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:39,920
is you're too old and tired
to see anybody else?
(sighs)

400
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:42,382
(groans softly)
Give me the Tums.

401
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,518
I could kiss you forever.

402
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,436
Uh, that's kind of a long time.

403
00:14:55,478 --> 00:14:57,021
You got somewhere else to be?

404
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,897
No. It's just that,

405
00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:00,817
eventually,
we're gonna get hungry.

406
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:04,028
Why do I keep getting the
feeling you're not into this?

407
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:06,573
Oh, I am into this.

408
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:08,449
But?

409
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:10,243
(exhales)

410
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:13,872
I mean, we're real young, and
who knows what's gonna happen?

411
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:15,915
I know. And you should, too.

412
00:15:15,956 --> 00:15:17,625
Don't feel bad.

413
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:19,419
I don't know lots of stuff.

414
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:21,796
So, as long
as we're on the subject,

415
00:15:21,838 --> 00:15:23,339
are you seeing anybody else?

416
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:25,550
No.

417
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:27,844
How about that
nutty professor?

418
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:29,136
We're just friends.

419
00:15:29,178 --> 00:15:31,556
Yeah, well, that's
what June and I are--

420
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:33,474
just friends.

421
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:37,896
So what are we?

422
00:15:38,855 --> 00:15:40,147
I don't know.

423
00:15:40,189 --> 00:15:41,566
What do you want to call it?

424
00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:46,112
I guess, a...

425
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:48,989
committed relationship.

426
00:15:49,031 --> 00:15:51,492
Mm. Works for me.

427
00:15:51,534 --> 00:15:53,661
Okay.
Hmm.

428
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:55,830
It's settled.

429
00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:02,629
Connie.

430
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:05,506
This relationship
is suffocating me.

431
00:16:06,674 --> 00:16:08,175
(chuckles)

432
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:10,553
What'd I say?

433
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:11,930
I'm not enough for you.
(cries)

434
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,556
I didn't say that.

435
00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:15,642
Just be honest.

436
00:16:15,683 --> 00:16:17,602
You want to date other girls.

437
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:19,479
I don't want to date
other girls instead of you,

438
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,690
just... in addition to you.

439
00:16:22,732 --> 00:16:25,318
Drop dead.

440
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:29,322
(starts engine)

441
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:37,121
Okay, but I'm gonna follow you
and make sure you get home safe!

442
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:38,997
Do whatever you want.

443
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:41,835
If you walk to Dairy Queen,
I'll buy you a Blizzard.

444
00:16:42,961 --> 00:16:45,421
Want me to turn
on some music?

445
00:16:45,463 --> 00:16:48,925
(rock music playing)

446
00:16:52,595 --> 00:16:55,348
Well, this is
just delicious, Mary.

447
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:56,724
Thank you.

448
00:16:57,558 --> 00:16:59,059
Bite-sized enough for you?

449
00:16:59,101 --> 00:17:01,061
Oh. Perfect.
(chuckles)

450
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:03,564
(sighs)

451
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:05,023
How long do I
have to sit here

452
00:17:05,065 --> 00:17:07,276
and sulk before someone
asks me what's wrong?

453
00:17:07,318 --> 00:17:09,612
Maybe people are tired
of hearing about it.

454
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:11,781
Ms. Hutchins, would
you care to chime in?

455
00:17:11,823 --> 00:17:14,116
Oh, I-I don't want
to get in the middle

456
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:15,994
of a family
issue, but...

457
00:17:16,034 --> 00:17:18,162
I will say that I once had
a falling out

458
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:19,956
with someone very close to me.

459
00:17:19,998 --> 00:17:21,207
What happened?

460
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:24,251
We ended up parting ways
on bad terms.

461
00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:27,005
I-I still regret it.

462
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:29,007
But you were right
and they were wrong?

463
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,257
You know what,

464
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:32,010
it doesn't feel
like it matters anymore.

465
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:34,971
And not a day goes by
that I don't miss them.

466
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:40,852
Perhaps I do owe
Dr. Sturgis an apology.

467
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:43,187
I was talking about your mother.

468
00:17:43,229 --> 00:17:45,481
I'll circle back to her.

469
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:49,318
Thank you.

470
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,111
I can't believe
you got through to him.

471
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:52,572
Happy to help.

472
00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:54,949
So, who was the person
you had the fight with?

473
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:56,409
It was my cat, Poe.

474
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:59,620
She ran away when I switched
to dry food.

475
00:18:00,747 --> 00:18:03,290
It was cheaper.

476
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:09,505
Good night, baby.
Night, Mama.

477
00:18:10,882 --> 00:18:12,926
I'm really sorry, Mom.

478
00:18:12,967 --> 00:18:15,469
(exhales)
I forgive you.

479
00:18:15,511 --> 00:18:17,638
But just because
you straightened things out

480
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,558
with Dr. Sturgis doesn't mean
you're going back to college.

481
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,268
Yes, it does.
No, it doesn't.

482
00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:25,187
I hope you know you're
jeopardizing our relationship.

483
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:27,440
I will take that risk.

484
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:29,191
(kiss)
Good night.

485
00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:32,319
You know
I'll eventually wear you down.

486
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:34,238
We'll see.

487
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,407
I'm pretty tough.

488
00:18:37,825 --> 00:18:40,327
ADULT SHELDON:
I eventually wore her down.

489
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:42,538
There's just so much of me
anybody can take.

490
00:18:47,085 --> 00:18:48,294
NEWSCASTER: In local news,
Friday night's football game

491
00:18:48,335 --> 00:18:50,797
was marred by a brutal injury,

492
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:53,591
when football coach
George Cooper saved himself

493
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:57,720
at the expense of beloved school
librarian Cheryl Hutchins.

494
00:18:57,762 --> 00:18:59,346
Oh, no.

495
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:03,059
We warn you, the following
footage is hard to watch.

496
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:04,518
Well, then, don't show it.

497
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,604
(grunting)

498
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:08,773
(whistle blows)

499
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:11,400
Let's see it again
in slow motion.

500
00:19:11,442 --> 00:19:13,653
GEORGE SR.:
This is not news.
ion.
