[George] Previously on Young Sheldon…
[chuckles] Well, I will watch this and let you know.
She was totally hitting on you.
All she did was rent a movie.
And then she laughed and she touched your arm.
That's textbook flirting.
I wasn't trying to.
All I'm saying is you're not tied down.
I'm getting parenting advice from a woman
whose 17-year-old son got my daughter pregnant?
Grow up, call your daughter and make it right.
Now!
-Well, I need-- -I said, now!
I was going to say, I need the phone number.
Do you have a pen?
[adult Sheldon] Every culture has its own traditions
to celebrate important life events.
Bar mitzvahs,
quinceañeras,
baby's first Comic-Con…
My favorites are funeral and baby shower.
They're the only two thrown in your honor you're not expected to attend. Love it!
Oh, and after we do gifts,
we could take pictures holding Mandy's belly.
-No. -Okay.
Here's one.
We can fill baby bottles with juice and see who can drink it the fastest.
Don't go drinking out of my bottle.
-Why? -Because it ain't gonna be juice.
When is this thing, anyways?
Sunday.
Oh, shoot. I got a date with Amber. I got to cancel.
You ain't invited.
But I'm the dad.
No boys allowed. Southern Living says so.
Who is Amber?
A girl I'm seeing.
Does Mandy know?
-Know what? -Uh, nothing.
It was actually her idea.
What, Amber? Oh. Yeah, I know.
-She's divorced. -What?
Don't worry, she ain't old. It's just, she got married too young.
Okay.
Uh…
So, Mandy, have you given any thought
to which friends or family you want to invite?
Well, given the circumstances, I'm thinking maybe we keep it small.
'Cause your friends don't know about this?
They don't know about this, they don't know about that.
They don't know about any of it.
Can I invite your mom?
Um…
That's a no.
Well, we would love to have her, but it's totally up to you.
[sighs]
Fine.
Great!
Is it great?
[theme song playing]
[Missy] Oh, I thought of another game.
First, you melt chocolate in a diaper--
Keep thinking.
We're coming up with games? Because I have a good one.
Intelligent animal technology.
For example,
if rhinoceroses were intelligent, how would they type?
This is for Mandy's baby shower.
Oh, I don't wanna go to that.
[chuckles] Thankfully, it's for ladies only.
Yeah, even if you're the father.
Why do you wanna go?
I'm gonna be at the birth, I can't go to the party?
How do you know she wants you at the birth?
Who's gonna catch the baby?
You may not want to be there. It's a rough one.
George.
You're right, dear.
It's a beautiful event, which I will never forget.
Wait. You said it was beautiful,
and then made a face to imply that it wasn't.
So, which is it?
Oh, my God, Sheldon, it's disgusting.
Could've just said that.
Pretty good game Sunday, if you wanna watch with me.
All right.
You should invite Mandy's dad and brother to join you.
It might be awkward. Don't really know them.
That's how you get to know 'em.
Yeah, yeah.
Wait, I don't have to watch football, do I?
-No. -Please don't.
Sweet.
Hi, Jim.
Hey, Mary. Good to see you. You looking for some tires?
Actually, I'm looking for your wife.
Oh.
You're not gonna yell at her again?
No, no.
Okay, you sure about that? 'Cause I wouldn't mind seeing it.
I just wanted to drop off an invitation to Mandy's baby shower.
Oh, that's real kind of you.
And George is hoping that you'll come over
and watch the game with him and Georgie.
Oh.
That sounds like fun.
And your son is welcome, too.
All right.
Well, you know, Connor ain't all that much into football or baseball,
or, shoot, anything with a ball, really.
Well, if you do come, I know that George is making brisket.
Brisket and football? [chuckles]
You drive a hard bargain.
[chuckling]
Hello, Mary.
Hi.
All right, well, I'm gonna go help, uh…
somebody.
I want to apologize
for getting off on the wrong foot last time.
You mean, when you called me a terrible mother?
The important thing is you and Mandy are talking again.
Mmm-hmm.
Anyway, I just wanted to drop off this invitation
to her baby shower.
Thank you for including me.
Of course.
You'd think her own mother would know she was having a girl.
Well, Georgie wants it to be a surprise,
so she's barely told anyone.
She told you.
Barely. Um…
You know what would be great, is if you could come and help us plan it.
I'd like that. Thank you very much.
Then it's settled.
All right. Please say goodbye to your husband.
You can tell him yourself. He's hiding behind that stack of tires.
Bye.
[knocking on door]
-It's open. -Hello.
[groans]
I was wondering if I could have access to the lab on Sunday.
I'm not here on Sunday.
Where will you be?
If I tell you that, you might go there.
Well, I told you where I'll be. The lab.
How about this? Here's the key. Go nuts.
But I'm a minor. I require adult supervision.
I won't tell anyone.
I will. I'm quite the tattler.
Then you'll have to wait till Monday.
But I'm trying to get out on Sunday.
-Why? -The father and the brother
of the woman my brother impregnated
are coming over to watch sports with my brother and my father.
So, you're trying to avoid a male bonding experience?
At all costs.
You know, son, as scientists,
we're often teamed with people that we don't know.
The ability to bond and build relationships, that's…
that's an essential skill.
So, you're suggesting I use this gathering as an opportunity to better those skills?
Exactly.
-Very well. I'll give it a go. -Great.
-Would you like to join us? -I can't.
Why? Where will you be?
So, I was thinking we could do something sweet and simple,
like a garden party?
That sounds good.
I know Mandy doesn't like to make a big fuss.
Since when?
That girl has always wanted to be the center of attention.
Oh, well, I guess you would know. [chuckles]
And garden party sounds lovely,
but maybe we could do something a little more fun,
like princess or Around the World.
You know, all the places she was gonna go, but now, she can't,
because she ruined her life.
I like princess.
Great. I know this wonderful bakery that makes a cake
that looks just like a fairy tale castle.
I was going to make my German chocolate cake.
She's having a girl, not starting World War II.
Castle cake it is.
[softly] Yay.
Hello.
[scoffs] Nerd movies are over there.
No, I need to bond with Mandy's father and brother,
so I'm looking for movies they might've seen,
so that we can engage in some testosterone-rich banter.
Okay. I can help you.
A lot of dudes have been renting this.
"Bingo. He's every family's best friend."
Are you tricking me?
No.
Glad I asked. Ring me up.
That was fun. Thanks.
[chuckles]
Are we still on for Sunday?
Sorry, can't. Mandy's having a baby shower.
You're going to that?
No, but I promised I'd hang out with her dad and brother, so…
Is it weird to talk about this stuff?
Would it be weird if I talked about my ex-husband?
Depends. What would you say?
[exhales] I don't know.
Maybe that he's 6'4", weighs about 240 pounds,
got a short fuse…
Yeah, I don't wanna hear that.
Well, I'm fine if you want to talk about your situation.
Great, 'cause I need some advice.
So, should I get Mandy a present?
You mean like a baby gift?
Or for her.
You know, like, "Thanks for making the effort."
I don't think I would engrave that on anything,
but could be sweet.
Cool.
You were just playin' about your ex being that big, right?
But the divorce was a mutual thing, he wanted it, too?
-He ain't in there, is he? -[chuckles]
Hey.
I hate that woman.
Who, your mother? She ain't gonna live forever.
Mandy's mom!
Oh. Yeah. That one, we're stuck with for a while.
I extended an olive branch to make her feel part of the baby shower,
and then, she took over the whole thing.
All right. I'll run her over with my truck.
I'm not ready to laugh yet, George.
When you are ready to laugh, I have got the movie for you, Bingo.
It's for men, but I think you'll get it.
[barking]
Anybody home?
Hey.
What's with all the pink?
Uh, it's 'cause it's my party and I'm a girl.
Makes sense.
So, what are you doing here?
You know you're not invited to the shower.
I know.
It's just, everybody's bringing presents for the baby today,
so, I wanted to bring one for you.
Georgie, thank you.
Open it.
Okay.
Sorry for the Christmas paper, that's all we had.
It's beautiful.
Look inside.
What am I looking at here?
It's a sonogram of our little girl.
I'm not an idiot.
Well…
that is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
I…
I love it.
Good. It was actually Amber's idea.
Oh.
Well, that's very thoughtful. Thank you.
And, thank her.
I will.
I'll let you get back to your party.
Okay.
You look great, by the way.
[sighs]
[door closes]
[knocking on door]
Hey, Jim! Good to see you again.
-Hey, come on in. -Yeah.
Thanks for having us. This here is Connor.
-Hey, Connor. Good to see you. -Hey.
Good to see you again, Mr. McCallister.
Georgie.
Oh, you got some paint on.
You've been doing some work around the house?
[snickers] No.
I'm a painter.
Yeah. Yeah, he's always in his room, painting stuff,
until you ask him to paint the garage.
[chuckles]
You're hilarious.
All right, sorry.
-[clears throat] He's an artist. -Cool.
Like the guy on TV that paints the clouds?
My stuff is a little more, uh, abstract.
Oh. Sure. That means it doesn't look like stuff.
I hope you're a starving artist,
'cause I got a brisket out there
with your name on it.
Connor is also a vegetarian.
No problem. Yeah? We got beans.
That's a vegetable, right?
[chuckles] Come on.
This cake is amazing.
To look at, sure. I prefer cakes for eating.
What's your problem?
So, Audrey, is this your first grandkid?
-Yep. -You must be excited?
Sure.
Can't say I'm thrilled with the circumstances,
but Amanda's always done things her way.
I have a lot of grandkids.
At some point, you just stop caring how they got here.
I'm gonna get some punch.
It's nonalcoholic.
Oh.
-You coming down? -In a sec.
You're not missing much. It's real awkward down there.
[chuckles softly]
Is something wrong?
No.
Is it your mom?
Because something's definitely wrong with mine.
No, she's fine.
Well, she's a nightmare, but that's not it.
-Pretty. -Yeah, Georgie got it for me.
There's a sonogram of our baby inside.
Good for Georgie.
Yeah, good for Georgie.
I gotta tell you,
I think the Cowboys are going to take it all the way this year.
I'm not really into football.
Seriously?
That's cool. Do you like cars?
Not really.
Music?
Yeah.
Great. Who do you like?
-The Smiths. -I don't know them.
Guns N' Roses?
[scoffs]
Corporate rock sellouts.
Yeah, well, sellouts who kick-ass, so…
Hello.
Sheldon, this is Mandy's brother, Connor.
Are you watching the game?
I heard the Cowboys are gonna go all the way, this year.
It's okay. He don't watch football, either.
Great. I learned who Troy Aikman is for nothing.
[George] So, Connor seemed like a good kid.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's a good kid… from another planet.
Ooh! I got one of those. Yeah, Georgie's little brother.
Is he a 22-year-old art school graduate
with no prospects of holding down a real job?
[chuckles]
Actually, he's a science genius who started college when he was 11.
Let's just talk about the brisket.
All right, Missy, you're first.
How much do you think the baby's going to weigh?
Uh, I'm going to say…
Eighteen pounds.
-[women chuckle] -Ouch!
-Too much? -"Too much?"
But then again, Georgie was a big'un.
How big?
-Almost 10 pounds. -Ten pounds?
She walked like a cowboy for months.
[chuckles]
Both my children were normal weight.
Well, good job.
[Meemaw] My turn.
Okay, the belly button still got a little give…
so I'm going to say a quick and easy 6 lbs 2 oz,
gonna slide right out of there.
-I love you. -[chuckles]
So, Connor, what was your sister like as a kid?
Um…
We really didn't get along.
She was older and loved picking on me.
The same thing with me and Georgie.
Once, she replaced my toothpaste with a tube of hemorrhoid cream.
[chuckles]
Remember, I used to sit on your head when you'd watch Star Trek?
I do.
Guess what I'd do when they'd fire their phasers.
You don't need to say it.
I farted.
[Georgie chuckles]
Hilarious.
Okay…
Oh, a nursing bra!
"Includes removable pads to prevent leakage."
Wow. Thanks. That's really thoughtful.
Mine dripped like a faucet.
-I have a question. -Please ask it later.
All right. Next present.
-Okay. -That one's from me.
-What leaks? The boob? -Later.
[chuckles] What's this?
We set up a nursery in the guest room. You can move back in.
Can we not talk about this now?
What's the problem? You're going to need help.
Who do you think's been helping her this whole time?
And I appreciate it, but you're not her family.
We're that baby's family. Georgie is right across the street.
Oh, yes. I'm sure a teenage boy is gonna be a lot of help.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Georgie has been there for me the whole time,
and you come in at the last minute with a store-bought castle cake
and you think that's gonna make up for everything?
Okay. I can see you're a little emotional.
Yeah, I am a little emotional right now, and you being here isn't helping.
You do not get to bad-mouth Georgie.
He's gonna be a better parent than you ever were.
Damn.
Now, if someone would help me up, I would like to storm out.
Thank you.
So, who wants cake?
-[man on TV] Bingo, it's a subpoena. -[chuckles]
How's the dog supposed to write a subpoena?
Look how gritty this is.
Frank Miller really brought a whole new aesthetic to comic books.
Hmm. I've never really thought of it that way.
[adult Sheldon] I was doing it. I was bonding.
Now, would you please put it back in the bag?
-Sure. -[adult Sheldon] And I was great at it.
[chuckles] Yeah, 14 hours of smoke and love.
I'm trying not to drool.
Jim! Connor! We're leaving!
-All right, hon, but the brisket-- -Now!
I'll make you a doggy bag.
[Audrey] Jim!
Poor bastard.
Hey!
-I didn't know you were here. -Just checkin' out the loot.
This is amazing. Why don't all bras do this?
Take that off.
Well, that's what's great, you don't have to. Look at this.
The father of my child!
Ooh. Nipple cream. Maybe I should've went to this party.
[Georgie] Sounds fun.
[theme music playing] be I should've went to this party.
