1
00:00:01,463 --> 00:00:03,021
Previously on Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:05,615
Did we talk about going home
from the bar together? Sure.
3
00:00:05,618 --> 00:00:06,922
But nothing actually happened.
4
00:00:06,925 --> 00:00:08,053
Kind of feels like it.
5
00:00:08,056 --> 00:00:09,873
It does feel like it.
6
00:00:09,876 --> 00:00:11,295
Why does it feel like it?
7
00:00:11,298 --> 00:00:13,605
- Hi, Mary.
- Hey, John.
8
00:00:13,608 --> 00:00:15,166
What are you doing here?
9
00:00:15,169 --> 00:00:16,755
Well, I lost my job,
10
00:00:16,758 --> 00:00:19,982
so, while I'm figuring
things out, I'm a bag boy.
11
00:00:19,985 --> 00:00:22,891
Aren't you a little overqualified?
12
00:00:22,894 --> 00:00:23,888
[whispers]: Very.
13
00:00:23,891 --> 00:00:25,550
You've got a PhD.
14
00:00:25,553 --> 00:00:27,393
You're the smartest person here.
15
00:00:27,396 --> 00:00:28,526
Well...
16
00:00:31,968 --> 00:00:33,228
ADULT SHELDON: In physics,
17
00:00:33,231 --> 00:00:36,309
potential energy is a fascinating topic.
18
00:00:36,312 --> 00:00:39,998
Objects like springs store
energy when they're coiled,
19
00:00:40,001 --> 00:00:42,262
waiting to unleash their full potential
20
00:00:42,265 --> 00:00:44,261
and soar to the heavens.
21
00:00:45,435 --> 00:00:47,379
Would you look at me go!
22
00:00:48,974 --> 00:00:51,980
Even in toy form, I'm
shooting for the stars.
23
00:00:53,154 --> 00:00:55,711
While the potential energy of an object
24
00:00:55,714 --> 00:00:57,405
can be measured in absolutes,
25
00:00:57,408 --> 00:01:00,639
human potential remains more elusive.
26
00:01:02,092 --> 00:01:06,333
Sometimes, people seem to have
all the potential in the world,
27
00:01:06,336 --> 00:01:09,286
but for some reason
stay stuck to the ground.
28
00:01:11,339 --> 00:01:13,231
But why are you wasting your time here
29
00:01:13,234 --> 00:01:14,707
when you could be doing science?
30
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:17,830
I told you, I'm happy here.
31
00:01:17,833 --> 00:01:19,269
How could you be happy?
32
00:01:19,271 --> 00:01:21,332
You have a doctorate in physics,
and you're sticking labels
33
00:01:21,334 --> 00:01:22,743
to a case of beans.
34
00:01:22,746 --> 00:01:24,133
I had to work here a month
35
00:01:24,136 --> 00:01:26,129
before they let me use this thing.
36
00:01:26,132 --> 00:01:30,035
And yet, I could go buy a
real gun on my lunch break.
37
00:01:30,038 --> 00:01:32,465
Ha! Texas, huh?
38
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:34,513
But don't you miss trying to unlock
39
00:01:34,516 --> 00:01:36,186
the secrets of the universe?
40
00:01:36,189 --> 00:01:40,078
Sheldon, I spent my life
chasing theoreticals.
41
00:01:40,081 --> 00:01:43,049
Here, I have tangible accomplishments
42
00:01:43,051 --> 00:01:46,563
and I get to listen to
relaxing Top 40 music.
43
00:01:46,565 --> 00:01:49,873
Do you know this band, Air Supply?
44
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:51,625

What kind of things
you and Darlene do when,
56

- Oh.
57

All kinds of stuff.
58
00:02:27,873 --> 00:02:29,149
But it doesn't matter what we do
59
00:02:29,152 --> 00:02:30,926
as long as we're together.

Looking for a thing to do here.

00:02:32,398 --> 00:02:33,868
All right.
62
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:36,205
Nice to see you're
thinking about your wife.
63
00:02:36,207 --> 00:02:37,893
I'm trying.
64
00:02:37,895 --> 00:02:40,101
Darlene and I love to go line dancing.
65
00:02:40,103 --> 00:02:41,963
- Next.
- Let's see.
66
00:02:41,965 --> 00:02:43,997
There's the Roundabout.
67
00:02:43,999 --> 00:02:45,097
What's that?
68
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:46,378
It's a roller rink.
69

They have cool lights and a DJ.
70
00:02:48,977 --> 00:02:50,274
It's like a disco.
71
00:02:50,276 --> 00:02:52,006
So, when I said no to line dancing,
72
00:02:52,008 --> 00:02:53,823
you thought, "Let's
put George on wheels."
73
00:02:53,825 --> 00:02:54,819
Ooh.
74
00:02:54,821 --> 00:02:55,938

But it doesn't matter where you go.
79

She's just gonna be happy you're trying.
80
00:03:04,258 --> 00:03:06,377
I hope so.
81

It's nice to see I'm
finally rubbing off on you.
82
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:10,681
I am capable of being a decent husband.

Yeah, please, go right ahead.

I quit and I joined the Army.

Well, then I got married.

No.

Well, I was waiting outside,
117
00:04:27,547 --> 00:04:30,181
but then an angry squirrel
forced me to seek shelter.
118
00:04:30,184 --> 00:04:31,585
What do you want?
119
00:04:31,588 --> 00:04:33,360
I need you to talk to Dr. Sturgis.

He's wasting his time
working in a grocery store.

- Yes.

Good, I spread it heavily

Well, please.
124
00:04:42,623 --> 00:04:43,963
He won't listen to me.
125
00:04:43,966 --> 00:04:45,912
I'm hoping you can talk
some sense into him.

Sheldon, he's a grown man.

- That's exactly right.
- Excellent.
130
00:04:52,889 --> 00:04:54,532
So, will you talk to him?
131

Look, if he doesn't want to come back,
132
00:04:56,158 --> 00:04:57,585
I certainly can't force him.

I'm just curious, if
he were to come back,

would you spend more time with him,

and therefore less time with me?

00:05:06,523 --> 00:05:08,060
I suppose so. Why?

Well, I'm here to convince you

on the grand unified field
theory and got nowhere.

- True.
- In fact,

accomplishments occurred

00:06:56,701 --> 00:06:59,132
My boss has been letting
me pick up some extra hours.
182
00:06:59,134 --> 00:07:01,600
You just can't ditch school.
183
00:07:01,603 --> 00:07:03,110
It's not like I'm going to college.
184
00:07:03,113 --> 00:07:05,550
Son, a diploma's important.
185
00:07:05,553 --> 00:07:06,684
Why?
186
00:07:06,687 --> 00:07:08,758
At least at work I'm
getting actual experience
187
00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:09,928
and making money.
188
00:07:09,931 --> 00:07:12,095
Well, you saying you're gonna drop out?
189
00:07:13,744 --> 00:07:15,343
I guess I am.
190
00:07:15,346 --> 00:07:17,033
Does your father know about this?
191
00:07:17,036 --> 00:07:18,159
No.
192
00:07:18,162 --> 00:07:19,849
Don't you think you should tell him?
193
00:07:19,852 --> 00:07:21,105
I don't really want to.
194
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:24,093
Well, if you don't
tell him, I'm going to.
195
00:07:24,096 --> 00:07:25,608
That'd be great.
196
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:26,824
You're the best.
197
00:07:31,214 --> 00:07:32,816
You never know.
198
00:07:38,504 --> 00:07:39,984
Come on, Mom, don't you wish you were
199
00:07:39,987 --> 00:07:41,282
watching television, too?
200
00:07:41,285 --> 00:07:42,980
JANET [on TV]: Clarissa Marie Darling...
201
00:07:42,983 --> 00:07:44,328
You look nice.
202
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:46,666
Oh, no, are we going to church?
203
00:07:46,668 --> 00:07:49,243
No, your father and I have a date night.
204
00:07:49,246 --> 00:07:51,471
Why? Don't you have enough kids?
205
00:07:51,473 --> 00:07:53,332
That is not what date night means.
206
00:07:53,334 --> 00:07:54,327
[door closes]
207
00:07:54,329 --> 00:07:55,323
Georgie here?
208
00:07:55,325 --> 00:07:56,449
He's in his room.
209
00:07:56,451 --> 00:07:58,050
What's going on?
210
00:07:58,052 --> 00:08:02,033
- George?
- Oh, good, more drama.
211
00:08:02,035 --> 00:08:04,073
What the hell is wrong with you?
212
00:08:04,076 --> 00:08:05,137
MARY: What is going on?
213
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:06,676
He's dropping out of school.
214
00:08:06,679 --> 00:08:08,905
What?! Oh, no, you're not.
215
00:08:08,908 --> 00:08:10,320
It's not a big deal.
216
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:12,099
You better believe it's a big deal.
217
00:08:12,102 --> 00:08:14,594
You are finishing high
school, end of discussion.
218
00:08:14,597 --> 00:08:15,850
It's my life.
219
00:08:15,853 --> 00:08:16,870
It's my house.
220
00:08:16,873 --> 00:08:19,155
If you're don't go to
school, you can't live here.
221
00:08:19,158 --> 00:08:21,537
Hold on, we are not kicking him out.
222
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:22,854
The hell we're not!
223
00:08:22,856 --> 00:08:24,424
I'll pack right now.
224
00:08:24,427 --> 00:08:26,405
Stop, you don't have to go.
225
00:08:26,408 --> 00:08:28,860
Yes, he does. My house, my rules.
226
00:08:28,863 --> 00:08:30,492
It is my house, too.
227
00:08:30,495 --> 00:08:33,026
- Oh, really?
- Yes, really.
228
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:34,175
[knocking]
229
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:36,206
Is Dale here?
230
00:08:36,209 --> 00:08:37,592
Yeah, what's up?
231
00:08:37,595 --> 00:08:39,692
I would like to have a word with him.
232
00:08:39,695 --> 00:08:42,593
Better him than me. Have at it.
233
00:08:42,595 --> 00:08:44,984
Dale, Mary coming in hot!
234
00:08:44,987 --> 00:08:47,999
Did you tell Georgie
to drop out of school?
235
00:08:48,002 --> 00:08:49,538
What? No.
236
00:08:49,541 --> 00:08:53,368
Well, he did, and you had
something to do with it.
237
00:08:53,371 --> 00:08:55,534
Well, no, he was just
complaining about school
238
00:08:55,537 --> 00:08:57,176
and I told him I dropped out.
239
00:08:57,179 --> 00:08:58,259
Dale,
240
00:08:58,262 --> 00:09:00,034
you know that he looks up to you.
241
00:09:00,037 --> 00:09:01,100
He does, doesn't he?
242
00:09:01,103 --> 00:09:02,591
Which is why you need to tell him
243
00:09:02,594 --> 00:09:04,843
that he is making a big mistake.
244
00:09:04,845 --> 00:09:06,936
Oh, I don't think I can do that.
245
00:09:06,939 --> 00:09:08,176
Why not?
246
00:09:08,178 --> 00:09:10,384
Well, I don't believe he is.
247
00:09:10,386 --> 00:09:12,639
How could you say that?
248
00:09:12,642 --> 00:09:14,799
I did it, worked out fine.
249
00:09:14,801 --> 00:09:17,484
Will you back me up here, please?
250
00:09:17,486 --> 00:09:19,314
I agree with him.
251
00:09:19,317 --> 00:09:20,612
You do?
252
00:09:20,677 --> 00:09:21,801
You do?
253
00:09:21,804 --> 00:09:23,057
Yeah.
254
00:09:23,129 --> 00:09:24,729
Yeah.
255
00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:26,662
MEEMAW: The kid's a natural salesman.
256
00:09:26,665 --> 00:09:29,276
I mean, school's not
gonna help with that.
257
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,493
So, you are fine with your
grandson throwing his life away
258
00:09:32,496 --> 00:09:36,494
so that he can sell fishing
rods and baseball bats?
259
00:09:36,497 --> 00:09:38,585
Excuse me, those fishing rods provided
260
00:09:38,588 --> 00:09:40,721
a nice life for me and my family.
261
00:09:40,724 --> 00:09:42,021
What family?
262
00:09:42,024 --> 00:09:44,667
You're divorced, and your
kids don't talk to you.
263
00:09:44,670 --> 00:09:46,659
Help me out here.
264
00:09:46,661 --> 00:09:50,007
A diploma would not have
made his life better.
265
00:09:50,010 --> 00:09:52,291
Thank you. What she said.
266
00:09:53,334 --> 00:09:55,064
GEORGE SR.: She really took his side?
267
00:09:55,067 --> 00:09:56,682
I don't want to talk about that.
268
00:09:56,685 --> 00:09:58,182
I thought you two had date night.
269
00:09:58,185 --> 00:09:59,784
I don't want to talk about that, either.
270
00:09:59,787 --> 00:10:01,469
Why isn't Georgie eating with us?
271
00:10:01,472 --> 00:10:03,295
Let's talk about anything else.
272
00:10:03,298 --> 00:10:05,867
Ooh. Perhaps this is a good
time for a physics joke.
273
00:10:05,870 --> 00:10:06,838
It isn't.
274
00:10:06,841 --> 00:10:09,029
That's the cool thing about
physics, time is relative.
275
00:10:09,032 --> 00:10:10,390
Okay, here we go.
276
00:10:10,393 --> 00:10:13,576
Why was the pirate worried that
his shoes were less than "H"?
277
00:10:15,446 --> 00:10:17,524
Because he had to walk the Planck.
278
00:10:19,311 --> 00:10:20,849
Get it? Because Max Planck is
279
00:10:20,852 --> 00:10:22,962
a famous physicist who
discovered a constant
280
00:10:22,965 --> 00:10:24,781
which is represented
by "H." And then he...
281
00:10:24,784 --> 00:10:26,957
If Georgie's kicked
out, can I have his room?
282
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,472
We are not kicking Georgie out.
283
00:10:28,475 --> 00:10:29,903
You want to start this up again?
284
00:10:29,906 --> 00:10:31,678
Or can we just be mad
at your mom and Dale?
285
00:10:31,681 --> 00:10:33,627
- And Georgie.
- Thank you. And Georgie.
286
00:10:33,630 --> 00:10:34,828
Let's just eat.
287
00:10:37,165 --> 00:10:40,111
So can anyone drop out or do
you need to be a certain age?
288
00:10:40,114 --> 00:10:41,682
You are not dropping out of school.
289
00:10:41,685 --> 00:10:44,453
Until you're 16... then
they legally can't stop you.
290
00:10:44,456 --> 00:10:45,606
Good to know.
291
00:10:45,609 --> 00:10:47,579
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
292
00:10:47,582 --> 00:10:49,470
What do you want me to do about it?
293
00:10:49,472 --> 00:10:51,895
I would encourage you to
love and nurture the one child
294
00:10:51,897 --> 00:10:54,188
you have who's destined for success.
295
00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:56,182
[knocking]
296
00:10:58,822 --> 00:11:01,116
Dale, it's for you!
297
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:02,390
What are you thinking?!
298
00:11:02,393 --> 00:11:03,913
I'm thinking I should've went home
299
00:11:03,916 --> 00:11:05,125
after your wife left.
300
00:11:05,128 --> 00:11:07,084
Georgie's only got one
more year of school,
301
00:11:07,087 --> 00:11:08,600
and then he can do whatever he wants.
302
00:11:08,603 --> 00:11:11,068
I don't want to come
between you and your family.
303
00:11:11,071 --> 00:11:12,188
Too late.
304
00:11:12,191 --> 00:11:14,256
Listen, I know you're upset,
305
00:11:14,259 --> 00:11:16,315
but the person you
ought to be yelling at
306
00:11:16,318 --> 00:11:18,156
is Georgie, not us.
307
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:19,629
I yelled at him... it didn't help!
308
00:11:19,632 --> 00:11:21,156
Is this helping?
309
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:23,153
A little, yes.
310
00:11:23,156 --> 00:11:24,916
So I'm datin' a dropout?
311
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:27,736
No, you're datin' a guy
with a full-time job.
312
00:11:27,739 --> 00:11:29,771
And your parents are okay with this?
313
00:11:29,773 --> 00:11:31,764
They'll come around.
314
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,663
By the way, can I crash at your place?
315
00:11:34,665 --> 00:11:35,741
No!
316
00:11:35,744 --> 00:11:37,730
My father already doesn't
think you're good enough for me.
317
00:11:37,732 --> 00:11:39,462
And I don't want him to know he's right.
318
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:40,718
He's not right!
319
00:11:40,721 --> 00:11:42,581
He might be a little right.
320
00:11:42,584 --> 00:11:45,143
I thought you'd be more supportive.
321
00:11:45,146 --> 00:11:47,436
And I thought we were
gonna be seniors together.
322
00:11:47,439 --> 00:11:49,856
Homecoming court, prom king and queen.
323
00:11:49,859 --> 00:11:52,020
Voted most likely to
stay together forever.
324
00:11:52,023 --> 00:11:53,589
We can still stay together.
325
00:11:53,592 --> 00:11:55,913
They can't vote for you
if you're not a senior!
326
00:11:59,209 --> 00:12:01,414
I don't think this is gonna work out.
327
00:12:01,416 --> 00:12:03,449
You're breakin' up with me?
328
00:12:03,451 --> 00:12:05,873
- Yeah.
- You're serious?
329
00:12:05,875 --> 00:12:07,780
I feel like I don't have a choice.
330
00:12:09,661 --> 00:12:11,935
Fine, as a workin' man I shouldn't be
331
00:12:11,938 --> 00:12:14,625
dating a girl in high school
anyway... it's immature.
332
00:12:15,595 --> 00:12:17,195
Just take me home.
333
00:12:17,198 --> 00:12:18,712
'Cause it's a school night?
334
00:12:18,715 --> 00:12:20,706
How cute.
335
00:12:26,195 --> 00:12:27,535
- Take me back.
- No.
336
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:29,225
- Dang it.
- [phone ringing]
337
00:12:29,228 --> 00:12:31,020
This is Grant Linkletter.
338
00:12:31,023 --> 00:12:33,219
I'm not home, please leave a message.
339
00:12:33,222 --> 00:12:34,519
[machine beeps]
340
00:12:34,522 --> 00:12:36,381
SHELDON: Dr. Linkletter, Sheldon Cooper.
341
00:12:36,384 --> 00:12:37,726
I haven't heard back from you.
342
00:12:37,729 --> 00:12:40,242
I hope everything went
well with Dr. Sturgis.
343
00:12:40,245 --> 00:12:43,178
Perhaps you two got caught
up discussing physics.
344
00:12:43,181 --> 00:12:45,482
Time does fly when you're having fun.
345
00:12:45,484 --> 00:12:47,516
So what does it all mean, John?
346
00:12:47,518 --> 00:12:49,304
Maybe you should ask someone
347
00:12:49,307 --> 00:12:51,860
who isn't drinking on a park bench.
348
00:12:51,863 --> 00:12:53,160
[both laugh]
349
00:12:53,162 --> 00:12:54,502
You work your whole life.
350
00:12:54,505 --> 00:12:57,098
It all seems so important
at the time, but is it?
351
00:12:57,101 --> 00:12:59,177
That's a good question.
352
00:12:59,180 --> 00:13:02,449
It puts me in mind of, uh, Camus'
353
00:13:02,452 --> 00:13:05,487
The Myth of Siphisus...
354
00:13:05,490 --> 00:13:06,804
Siphaphis...
355
00:13:06,807 --> 00:13:09,332
- Sisyphus.
- That's the guy.
356
00:13:09,335 --> 00:13:11,540
Every day
357
00:13:11,543 --> 00:13:14,054
he rolled the rock up the mountain,
358
00:13:14,057 --> 00:13:15,786
