1
00:00:01,044 --> 00:00:02,609
Previously on Young Sheldon...

2
00:00:02,612 --> 00:00:05,215
Did we talk about going home
from the bar together? Sure.

3
00:00:05,218 --> 00:00:06,528
But nothing actually happened.

4
00:00:06,531 --> 00:00:07,664
Kind of feels like it.

5
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:09,493
It does feel like it.

6
00:00:09,496 --> 00:00:10,921
Why does it feel like it?

7
00:00:10,924 --> 00:00:13,242
- Hi, Mary.
- Hey, John.

8
00:00:13,245 --> 00:00:14,810
What are you doing here?

9
00:00:14,813 --> 00:00:16,406
Well, I lost my job,

10
00:00:16,409 --> 00:00:19,648
so, while I'm figuring
things out, I'm a bag boy.

11
00:00:19,651 --> 00:00:22,570
Aren't you a little overqualified?

12
00:00:22,573 --> 00:00:23,572
Very.

13
00:00:23,575 --> 00:00:25,242
You've got a PhD.

14
00:00:25,245 --> 00:00:27,093
You're the smartest person here.

15
00:00:27,096 --> 00:00:28,226
Well...

16
00:00:31,668 --> 00:00:32,928
In physics,

17
00:00:32,931 --> 00:00:36,019
potential energy is a fascinating topic.

18
00:00:36,022 --> 00:00:39,720
Objects like springs store
energy when they're coiled,

19
00:00:39,723 --> 00:00:41,992
waiting to unleash their full potential

20
00:00:41,995 --> 00:00:43,997
and soar to the heavens.

21
00:00:45,175 --> 00:00:47,125
Would you look at me go!

22
00:00:48,726 --> 00:00:51,742
Even in toy form, I'm
shooting for the stars.

23
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:55,485
While the potential energy of an object

24
00:00:55,488 --> 00:00:57,184
can be measured in absolutes,

25
00:00:57,187 --> 00:01:00,429
human potential remains more elusive.

26
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:06,142
Sometimes, people seem to have
all the potential in the world,

27
00:01:06,145 --> 00:01:09,104
but for some reason
stay stuck to the ground.

28
00:01:11,164 --> 00:01:13,062
But why are you wasting your time here

29
00:01:13,065 --> 00:01:14,543
when you could be doing science?

30
00:01:14,546 --> 00:01:17,676
I told you, I'm happy here.

31
00:01:17,679 --> 00:01:19,120
How could you be happy?

32
00:01:19,122 --> 00:01:21,190
You have a doctorate in physics,
and you're sticking labels

33
00:01:21,192 --> 00:01:22,606
to a case of beans.

34
00:01:22,609 --> 00:01:24,000
I had to work here a month

35
00:01:24,003 --> 00:01:26,003
before they let me use this thing.

36
00:01:26,006 --> 00:01:29,921
And yet, I could go buy a
real gun on my lunch break.

37
00:01:29,924 --> 00:01:32,359
Ha! Texas, huh?

38
00:01:32,361 --> 00:01:34,414
But don't you miss trying to unlock

39
00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:36,093
the secrets of the universe?

40
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:39,997
Sheldon, I spent my life
chasing theoreticals.

41
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,978
Here, I have tangible accomplishments

42
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:46,504
and I get to listen to
relaxing Top 40 music.

43
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,825
Do you know this band, Air Supply?

44
00:01:49,828 --> 00:01:51,552
They're terrific.

45
00:01:51,554 --> 00:01:53,511
# I'm all out of love #

46
00:01:53,513 --> 00:01:56,093
# I'm so lost without you #

47
00:01:56,096 --> 00:01:57,863
# I know you were right #

48
00:01:57,865 --> 00:01:59,386
# Believing... #

49
00:02:10,453 --> 00:02:16,734

50
00:02:19,756 --> 00:02:21,679
- Hey.
- Hmm?

51
00:02:21,682 --> 00:02:23,715
What kind of things
you and Darlene do when,

52
00:02:23,717 --> 00:02:26,062
- you know, you go out on a date?
- Oh.

53
00:02:26,065 --> 00:02:27,390
All kinds of stuff.

54
00:02:27,393 --> 00:02:28,676
But it doesn't matter what we do

55
00:02:28,679 --> 00:02:30,462
as long as we're together.

56
00:02:30,465 --> 00:02:31,939
Looking for a thing to do here.

57
00:02:31,942 --> 00:02:33,420
All right.

58
00:02:33,422 --> 00:02:35,770
Nice to see you're
thinking about your wife.

59
00:02:35,772 --> 00:02:37,467
I'm trying.

60
00:02:37,469 --> 00:02:39,687
Darlene and I love to go line dancing.

61
00:02:39,689 --> 00:02:41,559
- Next.
- Let's see.

62
00:02:41,561 --> 00:02:43,604
There's the Roundabout.

63
00:02:43,606 --> 00:02:44,710
What's that?

64
00:02:44,713 --> 00:02:45,998
It's a roller rink.

65
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,609
They have cool lights and a DJ.

66
00:02:48,611 --> 00:02:49,915
It's like a disco.

67
00:02:49,917 --> 00:02:51,656
So, when I said no to line dancing,

68
00:02:51,658 --> 00:02:53,483
you thought, "Let's
put George on wheels."

69
00:02:53,485 --> 00:02:54,484
Ooh.

70
00:02:54,486 --> 00:02:55,609
Take her bowling.

71
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:01,013
- I don't want to take her bowling.
- Fine.

72
00:03:01,015 --> 00:03:02,211
But it doesn't matter where you go.

73
00:03:02,213 --> 00:03:03,971
She's just gonna be happy you're trying.

74
00:03:03,974 --> 00:03:06,105
I hope so.

75
00:03:06,107 --> 00:03:08,359
It's nice to see I'm
finally rubbing off on you.

76
00:03:08,362 --> 00:03:10,432
I am capable of being a decent husband.

77
00:03:10,435 --> 00:03:11,914
Oh, of course you are.

78
00:03:11,917 --> 00:03:13,939
Don't patronize me.

79
00:03:13,941 --> 00:03:17,292
I could stop, but then
what will we have left?

80
00:03:18,335 --> 00:03:20,770
Well, we don't carry hockey skates.

81
00:03:20,773 --> 00:03:22,990
Uh, heck, I know of a place up north

82
00:03:22,993 --> 00:03:24,210
where you can find them.

83
00:03:24,212 --> 00:03:26,301
It's called Canada.

84
00:03:28,627 --> 00:03:29,930
You're early.

85
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:31,999
I was sitting in algebra and realized,

86
00:03:32,002 --> 00:03:34,873
don't know what "X" is,
don't care what "X" is.

87
00:03:34,875 --> 00:03:37,367
Boy, I hear "ex" and I think of a woman

88
00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:39,050
who took half my stuff.

89
00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:41,967
- That's my problem.
- Mind if I change?

90
00:03:41,969 --> 00:03:43,671
Yeah, please, go right ahead.

91
00:03:43,674 --> 00:03:45,978
Why else would I have
a private bathroom?

92
00:03:45,981 --> 00:03:47,677
Thanks.

93
00:03:49,933 --> 00:03:52,020
- Did you like school?
- Hated it.

94
00:03:52,022 --> 00:03:53,992
I quit and I joined the Army.

95
00:03:53,995 --> 00:03:55,778
How was that?

96
00:03:55,781 --> 00:03:58,521
Less girls, more getting shot at.

97
00:03:58,524 --> 00:04:00,872
Well, at least you made it out alive.

98
00:04:00,875 --> 00:04:02,570
Well, then I got married.

99
00:04:02,573 --> 00:04:04,660
Made me kind of miss getting shot at.

100
00:04:04,663 --> 00:04:06,576
Have you ever been happy?

101
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:08,666
Ooh, let's see.

102
00:04:08,669 --> 00:04:09,975
No.

103
00:04:11,807 --> 00:04:13,940
Could you not do that in front of me?

104
00:04:23,444 --> 00:04:24,922
I need your help.

105
00:04:24,925 --> 00:04:26,507
Why are you in my car?

106
00:04:26,510 --> 00:04:27,710
Well, I was waiting outside,

107
00:04:27,713 --> 00:04:30,362
but then an angry squirrel
forced me to seek shelter.

108
00:04:30,365 --> 00:04:31,773
What do you want?

109
00:04:31,776 --> 00:04:33,558
I need you to talk to Dr. Sturgis.

110
00:04:33,561 --> 00:04:35,866
He's wasting his time
working in a grocery store.

111
00:04:35,869 --> 00:04:37,912
- Oh, then the rumor is true?
- Yes.

112
00:04:37,915 --> 00:04:40,648
Good, I spread it heavily
at the faculty mixer.

113
00:04:40,651 --> 00:04:42,868
Well, please.

114
00:04:42,871 --> 00:04:44,218
He won't listen to me.

115
00:04:44,221 --> 00:04:46,178
I'm hoping you can talk
some sense into him.

116
00:04:46,181 --> 00:04:48,007
Sheldon, he's a grown man.

117
00:04:48,010 --> 00:04:50,053
Perhaps in a little
apron with a nametag...

118
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:51,186
Is how I'm picturing it.

119
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:53,189
That's exactly right.Excellent.

120
00:04:53,192 --> 00:04:54,844
So, will you talk to him?

121
00:04:54,847 --> 00:04:56,476
Look, if he doesn't want to come back,

122
00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:57,914
I certainly can't force him.

123
00:04:57,917 --> 00:04:59,765
But he's wasting his potential.

124
00:05:01,771 --> 00:05:03,718
I'm just curious, if
he were to come back,

125
00:05:03,721 --> 00:05:05,155
would you spend more time with him,

126
00:05:05,158 --> 00:05:06,897
and therefore less time with me?

127
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:08,445
I suppose so. Why?

128
00:05:08,448 --> 00:05:10,062
No reason. Get out.

129
00:05:13,321 --> 00:05:15,277
John.

130
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,250
Hello, Grant. What brings you here?

131
00:05:18,253 --> 00:05:20,796
Well, I'm here to convince you
to come back to the university.

132
00:05:20,799 --> 00:05:22,494
A mind like yours needs to be working

133
00:05:22,497 --> 00:05:23,757
on the advancement of science.

134
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,152
Well, I did that for 50 years.

135
00:05:26,155 --> 00:05:29,843
Now I'm content just keeping
these cucumbers crunchy.

136
00:05:29,846 --> 00:05:32,296
But exciting new things are
happening in string theory.

137
00:05:32,299 --> 00:05:33,859
Don't you want to be a part of that?

138
00:05:33,862 --> 00:05:38,604
Wasting years scrambling away
at the academic hamster wheel?

139
00:05:38,607 --> 00:05:40,564
Constantly worried

140
00:05:40,567 --> 00:05:43,613
that your life's work
is just one big dead end?

141
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:46,945
Sure, some paths of
research may not pan out,

142
00:05:46,948 --> 00:05:48,861
but we still have to try, right?

143
00:05:48,864 --> 00:05:50,516
Do we?

144
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:52,757
- Of course.
- I don't know.

145
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,674
Einstein spent the last
30 years of his life

146
00:05:55,677 --> 00:05:58,854
on the grand unified field
theory and got nowhere.

147
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:02,107
Well, I wouldn't say nowhere,

148
00:06:02,109 --> 00:06:04,226
but I suppose he never did crack it.

149
00:06:04,229 --> 00:06:06,458
And to this day, no one has.

150
00:06:06,461 --> 00:06:08,093
- True.
- In fact,

151
00:06:08,096 --> 00:06:10,460
most of his major
accomplishments occurred

152
00:06:10,463 --> 00:06:11,812
when he was a young man,

153
00:06:11,815 --> 00:06:14,688
which you and I most certainly are not.

154
00:06:16,162 --> 00:06:19,470
Sometimes I look in the mirror
and I think, "Who is that?"

155
00:06:21,563 --> 00:06:24,955
Would you like to give
these cucumbers a spritz?

156
00:06:24,958 --> 00:06:27,045
No, thank you.

157
00:06:27,048 --> 00:06:29,571
Do you sell liquor here?

158
00:06:31,312 --> 00:06:32,656
You wanted to see me?

159
00:06:32,659 --> 00:06:34,615
Actually, I wanted to see you yesterday,

160
00:06:34,618 --> 00:06:37,184
but you weren't in school.

161
00:06:37,187 --> 00:06:38,953
You noticed that, huh?

162
00:06:38,956 --> 00:06:41,189
I've noticed it a lot lately.

163
00:06:41,191 --> 00:06:42,554
Level with me, son.

164
00:06:42,557 --> 00:06:45,558
Is it drinking? Drugs?

165
00:06:45,561 --> 00:06:47,779
Actually, it's work.

166
00:06:47,782 --> 00:06:51,131
Oh. I don't think I
have a pamphlet for that.

167
00:06:51,134 --> 00:06:54,171
You sure you didn't
get a girl in trouble?

168
00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:57,670
You will at some point, just take it.

169
00:06:57,673 --> 00:07:00,117
My boss has been letting
me pick up some extra hours.

170
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,599
You just can't ditch school.

171
00:07:02,602 --> 00:07:04,117
It's not like I'm going to college.

172
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,570
Son, a diploma's important.

173
00:07:06,573 --> 00:07:07,710
Why?

174
00:07:07,713 --> 00:07:09,796
At least at work I'm
getting actual experience

175
00:07:09,799 --> 00:07:10,972
and making money.

176
00:07:10,975 --> 00:07:13,151
Well, you saying you're gonna drop out?

177
00:07:14,808 --> 00:07:16,416
I guess I am.

178
00:07:16,419 --> 00:07:18,115
Does your father know about this?

179
00:07:18,118 --> 00:07:19,247
No.

180
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:20,946
Don't you think you should tell him?

181
00:07:20,949 --> 00:07:22,209
I don't really want to.

182
00:07:22,212 --> 00:07:25,213
Well, if you don't
tell him, I'm going to.

183
00:07:25,216 --> 00:07:26,737
That'd be great.

184
00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:27,959
You're the best.

185
00:07:32,373 --> 00:07:33,983
You never know.

186
00:07:39,702 --> 00:07:41,190
Come on, Mom, don't you wish you were

187
00:07:41,193 --> 00:07:42,495
watching television, too?

188
00:07:42,498 --> 00:07:44,202
Clarissa Marie Darling...

189
00:07:44,205 --> 00:07:45,558
You look nice.

190
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,908
Oh, no, are we going to church?

191
00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:50,499
No, your father and I have a date night.

192
00:07:50,502 --> 00:07:52,739
Why? Don't you have enough kids?

193
00:07:52,741 --> 00:07:54,610
That is not what date night means.

194
00:07:55,613 --> 00:07:56,612
Georgie here?

195
00:07:56,614 --> 00:07:57,744
He's in his room.

196
00:07:57,746 --> 00:07:59,354
What's going on?

197
00:07:59,356 --> 00:08:03,358
- George?
- Oh, good, more drama.

198
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,409
What the hell is wrong with you?

199
00:08:05,412 --> 00:08:06,479
What is going on?

200
00:08:06,482 --> 00:08:08,026
He's dropping out of school.

201
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:10,268
What?! Oh, no, you're not.

202
00:08:10,271 --> 00:08:11,690
It's not a big deal.

203
00:08:11,693 --> 00:08:13,479
You better believe it's a big deal.

204
00:08:13,482 --> 00:08:15,987
You are finishing high
school, end of discussion.

205
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:17,250
It's my life.

206
00:08:17,253 --> 00:08:18,276
It's my house.

207
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,573
If you're don't go to
school, you can't live here.

208
00:08:20,576 --> 00:08:22,968
Hold on, we are not kicking him out.

209
00:08:22,971 --> 00:08:24,292
The hell we're not!

210
00:08:24,294 --> 00:08:25,870
I'll pack right now.

211
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:27,862
Stop, you don't have to go.

212
00:08:27,865 --> 00:08:30,330
Yes, he does. My house, my rules.

213
00:08:30,333 --> 00:08:31,971
It is my house, too.

214
00:08:31,974 --> 00:08:34,519
- Oh, really?
- Yes, really.

215
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:37,716
Is Dale here?

216
00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:39,110
Yeah, what's up?

217
00:08:39,113 --> 00:08:41,221
I would like to have a word with him.

218
00:08:41,224 --> 00:08:44,138
Better him than me. Have at it.

219
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:46,541
Dale, Mary coming in hot!

220
00:08:46,544 --> 00:08:49,573
Did you tell Georgie
to drop out of school?

221
00:08:49,576 --> 00:08:51,120
What? No.

222
00:08:51,123 --> 00:08:54,971
Well, he did, and you had
something to do with it.

223
00:08:54,974 --> 00:08:57,148
Well, no, he was just
complaining about school

224
00:08:57,151 --> 00:08:58,799
and I told him I dropped out.

225
00:08:58,802 --> 00:08:59,888
Dale,

226
00:08:59,891 --> 00:09:01,673
you know that he looks up to you.

227
00:09:01,676 --> 00:09:02,745
He does, doesn't he?

228
00:09:02,748 --> 00:09:04,244
Which is why you need to tell him

229
00:09:04,247 --> 00:09:06,508
that he is making a big mistake.

230
00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:08,612
Oh, I don't think I can do that.

231
00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:09,859
Why not?

232
00:09:09,861 --> 00:09:12,079
Well, I don't believe he is.

233
00:09:12,081 --> 00:09:14,346
How could you say that?

234
00:09:14,349 --> 00:09:16,518
I did it, worked out fine.

235
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,217
Will you back me up here, please?

236
00:09:19,219 --> 00:09:21,057
I agree with him.

237
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:22,362
You do?

238
00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:23,557
You do?

239
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:24,820
Yeah.

240
00:09:24,893 --> 00:09:26,501
Yeah.

241
00:09:26,504 --> 00:09:28,445
The kid's a natural salesman.

242
00:09:28,448 --> 00:09:31,073
I mean, school's not
gonna help with that.

243
00:09:31,076 --> 00:09:34,307
So, you are fine with your
grandson throwing his life away

244
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:38,330
so that he can sell fishing
rods and baseball bats?

245
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:40,432
Excuse me, those fishing rods provided

246
00:09:40,435 --> 00:09:42,580
a nice life for me and my family.

247
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:43,887
What family?

248
00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:46,547
You're divorced, and your
kids don't talk to you.

249
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:48,550
Help me out here.

250
00:09:48,552 --> 00:09:51,916
A diploma would not have
made his life better.

251
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,212
Thank you. What she said.

252
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,000
She really took his side?

253
00:09:57,003 --> 00:09:58,627
I don't want to talk about that.

254
00:09:58,630 --> 00:10:00,135
I thought you two had date night.

255
00:10:00,138 --> 00:10:01,746
I don't want to talk about that, either.

256
00:10:01,749 --> 00:10:03,440
Why isn't Georgie eating with us?

257
00:10:03,443 --> 00:10:05,276
Let's talk about anything else.

258
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,862
Ooh. Perhaps this is a good
time for a physics joke.

259
00:10:07,865 --> 00:10:08,838
It isn't.

260
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:11,041
That's the cool thing about
physics, time is relative.

261
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:12,409
Okay, here we go.

262
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:15,612
Why was the pirate worried that
his shoes were less than "H"?

263
00:10:17,492 --> 00:10:19,582
Because he had to walk the Planck.

264
00:10:21,378 --> 00:10:22,924
Get it? Because Max Planck is

265
00:10:22,927 --> 00:10:25,049
a famous physicist who
discovered a constant

266
00:10:25,052 --> 00:10:26,878
which is represented
by "H." And then he...

267
00:10:26,881 --> 00:10:29,065
If Georgie's kicked
out, can I have his room?

268
00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:30,589
We are not kicking Georgie out.

269
00:10:30,592 --> 00:10:32,027
You want to start this up again?

270
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:33,812
Or can we just be mad
at your mom and Dale?

271
00:10:33,815 --> 00:10:35,772
- And Georgie.
- Thank you. And Georgie.

272
00:10:35,775 --> 00:10:36,979
Let's just eat.

273
00:10:39,329 --> 00:10:42,291
So can anyone drop out or do
you need to be a certain age?

274
00:10:42,294 --> 00:10:43,870
You are not dropping out of school.

275
00:10:43,873 --> 00:10:46,656
Until you're 16... then
they legally can't stop you.

276
00:10:46,659 --> 00:10:47,815
Good to know.

277
00:10:47,818 --> 00:10:49,799
This is exactly what I was afraid of.

278
00:10:49,802 --> 00:10:51,700
What do you want me to do about it?

279
00:10:51,702 --> 00:10:54,138
I would encourage you to
love and nurture the one child

280
00:10:54,140 --> 00:10:56,444
you have who's destined for success.

281
00:11:01,103 --> 00:11:03,409
Dale, it's for you!

282
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:04,690
What are you thinking?!

283
00:11:04,693 --> 00:11:06,221
I'm thinking I should've went home

284
00:11:06,224 --> 00:11:07,440
after your wife left.

285
00:11:07,443 --> 00:11:09,409
Georgie's only got one
more year of school,

286
00:11:09,412 --> 00:11:10,934
and then he can do whatever he wants.

287
00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:13,415
I don't want to come
between you and your family.

288
00:11:13,418 --> 00:11:14,541
Too late.

289
00:11:14,544 --> 00:11:16,620
Listen, I know you're upset,

290
00:11:16,623 --> 00:11:18,690
but the person you
ought to be yelling at

291
00:11:18,693 --> 00:11:20,541
is Georgie, not us.

292
00:11:20,544 --> 00:11:22,022
I yelled at him... it didn't help!

293
00:11:22,025 --> 00:11:23,557
Is this helping?

294
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,565
A little, yes.

295
00:11:25,568 --> 00:11:27,338
So I'm datin' a dropout?

296
00:11:27,341 --> 00:11:30,173
No, you're datin' a guy
with a full-time job.

297
00:11:30,176 --> 00:11:32,219
And your parents are okay with this?

298
00:11:32,221 --> 00:11:34,223
They'll come around.

299
00:11:35,224 --> 00:11:37,137
By the way, can I crash at your place?

300
00:11:37,139 --> 00:11:38,221
No!

301
00:11:38,224 --> 00:11:40,221
My father already doesn't
think you're good enough for me.

302
00:11:40,223 --> 00:11:41,962
And I don't want him to know he's right.

303
00:11:41,965 --> 00:11:43,225
He's not right!

304
00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:45,098
He might be a little right.

305
00:11:45,101 --> 00:11:47,674
I thought you'd be more supportive.

306
00:11:47,677 --> 00:11:49,979
And I thought we were
gonna be seniors together.

307
00:11:49,982 --> 00:11:52,412
Homecoming court, prom king and queen.

308
00:11:52,415 --> 00:11:54,588
Voted most likely to
stay together forever.

309
00:11:54,591 --> 00:11:56,166
We can still stay together.

310
00:11:56,169 --> 00:11:58,502
They can't vote for you
if you're not a senior!

311
00:12:01,816 --> 00:12:04,033
I don't think this is gonna work out.

312
00:12:04,035 --> 00:12:06,079
You're breakin' up with me?

313
00:12:06,081 --> 00:12:08,516
- Yeah.
- You're serious?

314
00:12:08,518 --> 00:12:10,433
I feel like I don't have a choice.

315
00:12:12,324 --> 00:12:14,611
Fine, as a workin' man I shouldn't be

316
00:12:14,614 --> 00:12:17,315
dating a girl in high school
anyway... it's immature.

317
00:12:18,291 --> 00:12:19,899
Just take me home.

318
00:12:19,902 --> 00:12:21,424
'Cause it's a school night?

319
00:12:21,427 --> 00:12:23,429
How cute.

320
00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:30,295
- Take me back.
- No.

321
00:12:30,298 --> 00:12:31,994
Dang it.

322
00:12:31,997 --> 00:12:33,799
This is Grant Linkletter.

323
00:12:33,802 --> 00:12:36,010
I'm not home, please leave a message.

324
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,189
Dr. Linkletter, Sheldon Cooper.

325
00:12:39,192 --> 00:12:40,541
I haven't heard back from you.

326
00:12:40,544 --> 00:12:43,071
I hope everything went
well with Dr. Sturgis.

327
00:12:43,074 --> 00:12:46,023
Perhaps you two got caught
up discussing physics.

328
00:12:46,026 --> 00:12:48,339
Time does fly when you're having fun.

329
00:12:48,341 --> 00:12:50,384
So what does it all mean, John?

330
00:12:50,386 --> 00:12:52,182
Maybe you should ask someone

331
00:12:52,185 --> 00:12:54,751
who isn't drinking on a park bench.

332
00:12:56,061 --> 00:12:57,408
You work your whole life.

333
00:12:57,411 --> 00:13:00,018
It all seems so important
at the time, but is it?

334
00:13:00,021 --> 00:13:02,108
That's a good question.

335
00:13:02,111 --> 00:13:05,398
It puts me in mind of, uh, Camus'

336
00:13:05,401 --> 00:13:08,452
The Myth of Siphisus...

337
00:13:08,455 --> 00:13:09,776
Siphaphis...

338
00:13:09,779 --> 00:13:12,318
- Sisyphus.
- That's the guy.

339
00:13:12,321 --> 00:13:14,538
Every day

340
00:13:14,541 --> 00:13:17,065
he rolled the rock up the mountain,

341
00:13:17,068 --> 00:13:18,807
and every day

342
00:13:18,810 --> 00:13:21,114
it rolled back down.

343
00:13:21,117 --> 00:13:22,813
That's what it seems like.

344
00:13:22,816 --> 00:13:24,119
But you escaped.

345
00:13:24,122 --> 00:13:25,774
You stopped rolling that rock.

346
00:13:25,777 --> 00:13:27,864
Well, that's what I thought.

347
00:13:27,867 --> 00:13:31,932
But every single bag of groceries

348
00:13:31,935 --> 00:13:35,473
I fill, there's another
one right behind it.

349
00:13:35,475 --> 00:13:38,010
So what do we do about it?

350
00:13:38,013 --> 00:13:39,781
We sing.

351
00:13:39,783 --> 00:13:41,696
What do we sing?

352
00:13:41,698 --> 00:13:45,877
# When you're too old to work #

353
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,925
# And you're too young to die #

354
00:13:48,928 --> 00:13:51,159
# Who will take care of you? #

355
00:13:51,162 --> 00:13:53,119
# How will you get by? #

356
00:13:53,122 --> 00:13:55,905
# When you're too old to work #

357
00:13:55,908 --> 00:13:59,214
# And you're too young to die? #

358
00:13:59,217 --> 00:14:01,033
I don't think I know that one.

359
00:14:02,212 --> 00:14:05,430
Do you know "Lollipop"?

360
00:14:05,433 --> 00:14:09,315
# Lollipop, lollipop, ooh,
lolli, lollipop, lollipop #

361
00:14:09,318 --> 00:14:11,535
# Lollipop, ooh, lolli, lollipop #

362
00:14:11,538 --> 00:14:14,539
# Lollipop, lollipop,
ooh, lolli, lolli, lolli #

363
00:14:14,542 --> 00:14:16,064
# Lollipop #

364
00:14:17,330 --> 00:14:20,113
# Lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli #

365
00:14:20,116 --> 00:14:22,116
# Lolli, lollipop, lollipop #

366
00:14:22,119 --> 00:14:23,824
# Lolli, lolli, lollipop... #

367
00:14:23,827 --> 00:14:26,741
I bet those losers dropped
out of high school, too.

368
00:14:26,743 --> 00:14:29,721
# Lollipop #

369
00:14:32,314 --> 00:14:34,127
Sorry I got riled up.

370
00:14:34,130 --> 00:14:35,393
Don't worry about it.

371
00:14:35,396 --> 00:14:37,440
Mary's over here all the time yellin'

372
00:14:37,443 --> 00:14:39,830
about something... it was
a pleasant change of pace.

373
00:14:43,693 --> 00:14:45,171
What are you doin' here?

374
00:14:45,245 --> 00:14:46,823
What are you doin' here?

375
00:14:46,826 --> 00:14:48,299
I was hopin' to stay here tonight.

376
00:14:48,302 --> 00:14:49,431
Well, you can't.

377
00:14:49,434 --> 00:14:50,565
This ain't your house.

378
00:14:50,568 --> 00:14:51,654
It ain't yours, either.

379
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:53,362
It's my house, and I get to say

380
00:14:53,365 --> 00:14:55,049
who stays and who goes.

381
00:14:55,052 --> 00:14:56,312
Okay, well, I'll be going.

382
00:14:56,315 --> 00:14:57,967
Oh, you're staying.

383
00:14:57,970 --> 00:15:00,100
You can go.

384
00:15:00,103 --> 00:15:01,973
Lucky.

385
00:15:01,976 --> 00:15:04,330
How come Sheldon doesn't
help with the dishes?

386
00:15:04,333 --> 00:15:06,464
When you do their taxes,
I'll do the dishes.

387
00:15:06,467 --> 00:15:08,049
If you don't like washing dishes,

388
00:15:08,052 --> 00:15:09,807
that is a good reason to stay in school

389
00:15:09,810 --> 00:15:11,462
and get your diploma.

390
00:15:11,465 --> 00:15:14,292
You have a high school diploma,
and you wash dishes every day.

391
00:15:14,295 --> 00:15:16,051
Thank you. Helpful.

392
00:15:16,053 --> 00:15:18,666
Although I do think Missy
should stay in school.

393
00:15:18,669 --> 00:15:20,502
You think everyone
should stay in school.

394
00:15:20,505 --> 00:15:23,112
Well, I understand why someone
like Georgie would rather work,

395
00:15:23,115 --> 00:15:25,593
but if you drop out, I
think you would regret it.

396
00:15:25,596 --> 00:15:26,769
Why?

397
00:15:26,772 --> 00:15:28,343
Historically, women in the workplace

398
00:15:28,346 --> 00:15:29,630
have been undervalued.

399
00:15:29,632 --> 00:15:30,762
You don't want to make it easier

400
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:32,174
for people to do that to you.

401
00:15:32,177 --> 00:15:33,306
He's right.

402
00:15:33,309 --> 00:15:35,159
Not a problem if I marry a rich guy.

403
00:15:35,162 --> 00:15:37,268
You should marry someone for love.

404
00:15:37,271 --> 00:15:40,026
You married Dad for love and
there's a lot of bickering.

405
00:15:40,029 --> 00:15:42,203
- That's not true.
- Thank you.

406
00:15:42,206 --> 00:15:44,162
She married him 'cause she was pregnant.

407
00:15:44,165 --> 00:15:46,112
I can finish these up on my own.

408
00:15:46,115 --> 00:15:48,158
Good, I have a date with Fresh Prince

409
00:15:48,161 --> 00:15:50,509
who by the way is so rich.

410
00:15:51,601 --> 00:15:52,955
Okay, here's the deal.

411
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:55,635
You get one night here, then you're out.

412
00:15:55,638 --> 00:15:58,002
You're not being very
grandmotherly right now.

413
00:15:58,005 --> 00:15:59,815
Where's the milk? Where's the cookies?

414
00:15:59,818 --> 00:16:01,514
Do you believe this kid?

415
00:16:01,517 --> 00:16:03,495
I could go for a cookie.

416
00:16:03,498 --> 00:16:05,107
No one's gettin' a cookie!

417
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:06,549
One night here is fine.

418
00:16:06,552 --> 00:16:08,232
I'll be workin' more
hours now so I'll be able

419
00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:10,801
- to get my own place soon.
- Yeah, about that.

420
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:13,587
I can't let you work
full-time at the store.

421
00:16:13,589 --> 00:16:14,987
What? Why not?

422
00:16:14,990 --> 00:16:16,791
Well, your parents are pretty upset.

423
00:16:16,794 --> 00:16:19,026
I'm not gonna get in the middle of that.

424
00:16:19,029 --> 00:16:21,205
I'll just get a job somewhere else.

425
00:16:21,208 --> 00:16:22,635
That's your business.

426
00:16:22,638 --> 00:16:25,557
For God's sake.

427
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,823
Who's left that I know?

428
00:16:29,332 --> 00:16:30,909
Finally!

429
00:16:30,912 --> 00:16:32,643
The right house!

430
00:16:37,629 --> 00:16:39,269
Kids in bed?

431
00:16:39,272 --> 00:16:40,749
Not all of 'em.

432
00:16:40,752 --> 00:16:43,405
Mary, if we let Georgie stay here,

433
00:16:43,408 --> 00:16:46,279
we're just makin' this
all too easy for him.

434
00:16:46,282 --> 00:16:48,621
I don't want to fight.

435
00:16:48,624 --> 00:16:51,937
I just want to know
that our son is okay.

436
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:53,549
He's fine.

437
00:16:53,552 --> 00:16:55,857
He's stayin' at your mom's.

438
00:16:55,860 --> 00:16:58,515
Well, that's something.

439
00:16:59,851 --> 00:17:02,243
Although, where does she get off

440
00:17:02,246 --> 00:17:03,799
thinking that it's a good idea

441
00:17:03,802 --> 00:17:05,725
for him to drop out of school

442
00:17:05,728 --> 00:17:07,026
and then lettin' him

443
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:08,893
live with her after he does it.

444
00:17:08,896 --> 00:17:10,722
- That's what I said.
- Good!

445
00:17:10,725 --> 00:17:12,899
Maybe they'll learn to
mind their own business!

446
00:17:12,902 --> 00:17:14,467
Will you please stop fighting?

447
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:15,556
Oh, no.

448
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:17,112
Sweetie, no, we're not fighting.

449
00:17:17,115 --> 00:17:20,292
We're just agreeing
with each other angrily.

450
00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:26,901
Here's the deal... you get one
night here, then you're out.

451
00:17:26,904 --> 00:17:28,377
And don't ask for cookies.

452
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:30,041
She is in no mood.

453
00:17:30,044 --> 00:17:31,695
Well...

454
00:17:31,698 --> 00:17:34,624
You know who's at my place?

455
00:17:34,627 --> 00:17:36,182
No one.

456
00:17:36,185 --> 00:17:39,977
I think I should stay here
and keep an eye on these two.

457
00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:41,807
It wasn't an invite.

458
00:17:41,810 --> 00:17:44,376
Just something I was looking forward to.

459
00:17:44,379 --> 00:17:46,409
Later.

460
00:17:46,412 --> 00:17:48,629
Bye.

461
00:17:48,632 --> 00:17:50,502
Did he get a haircut?

462
00:17:50,505 --> 00:17:52,416
It looks really nice.

463
00:17:58,022 --> 00:18:00,049
So how come you're here tonight?

464
00:18:00,052 --> 00:18:01,276
Were you too drunk

465
00:18:01,279 --> 00:18:03,261
to ride your bike home, too?

466
00:18:03,264 --> 00:18:05,917
My father's mad 'cause
I dropped out of school.

467
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:07,502
Ironic.

468
00:18:07,505 --> 00:18:09,331
Sheldon's upset

469
00:18:09,334 --> 00:18:12,009
'cause I'm not going
back to the university.

470
00:18:12,012 --> 00:18:13,228
Look at us.

471
00:18:13,230 --> 00:18:15,579
A couple of dropouts.

472
00:18:15,581 --> 00:18:17,581
Don't you have a PhD?

473
00:18:17,583 --> 00:18:20,182
Two, but I was trying to find

474
00:18:20,185 --> 00:18:21,745
common ground

475
00:18:21,748 --> 00:18:24,229
over which we could bond.

476
00:18:25,333 --> 00:18:26,551
All right.

477
00:18:29,246 --> 00:18:31,986
You wouldn't believe the day I had.

478
00:18:31,988 --> 00:18:33,948
My dad kicked me out.

479
00:18:33,951 --> 00:18:35,685
My girlfriend broke up with me.

480
00:18:35,688 --> 00:18:37,730
And now I got to find a second job.

481
00:18:37,733 --> 00:18:39,907
I drank hooch on a park bench

482
00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:41,698
and sang "Lollipop."

483
00:18:41,701 --> 00:18:43,745
It was tremendous.

484
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:45,617
I think I saw you.

485
00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:47,490
Were you with some other guy?

486
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:48,960
Yes.

487
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:50,701
What happened to him?

488
00:18:52,873 --> 00:18:55,657
Hey, pal, wake up.

489
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,273
What's happening?

490
00:18:58,275 --> 00:19:00,143
You can't sleep there.

491
00:19:00,146 --> 00:19:02,322
Right, sorry.

492
00:19:06,632 --> 00:19:08,651
Excuse me.

493
00:19:08,654 --> 00:19:12,112
You didn't happen to see a small
bald man around here, did you?

494
00:19:12,115 --> 00:19:14,289
Possibly singing "Lollipop"?

495
00:19:14,291 --> 00:19:15,721
What?

496
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:18,573
Never mind.

497
00:19:23,975 --> 00:19:26,002
Where the hell am I?
