They were old and full of holes.
179
00:07:44,465 --> 00:07:45,507
And it worked out great.
180
00:07:45,591 --> 00:07:48,260
I found some firecrackers
and a bag full of my baby teeth.
181
00:07:49,011 --> 00:07:50,012
Thank you.
182
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:52,931
Oh. I also hung a cross
over the bed for you.
183
00:07:53,015 --> 00:07:55,243
It's just Popsicle sticks
and glitter. I glued it together
184
00:07:55,267 --> 00:07:56,894
in Sunday school
when I was a kid.
185
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:58,562
[crying softly]
186
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,647
Is... is it too much?
I can take it down.
187
00:08:01,732 --> 00:08:03,567
[sniffles] No, it's...
188
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:05,986
it's really sweet.
[sniffles]
189
00:08:07,863 --> 00:08:11,074
- [crying]
- Why are you crying?
190
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:13,577
Did Georgie bring up
your unfortunate home life?
191
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:15,329
Uh, no.
192
00:08:15,787 --> 00:08:16,955
Good. My mom said not to,
193
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:18,624
so that you
would be comfortable.
194
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,959
Thank you.
195
00:08:22,252 --> 00:08:23,629
Are you comfortable?
196
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:28,717
[laughing] And I remember
how cute you looked
197
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,512
in your little pearl snap
shirt with your bolo tie.
198
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:35,891
- Well, I'd say it wasn't my first rodeo, but it was.
- [both chuckling]
199
00:08:39,228 --> 00:08:40,979
Thank you for
a wonderful year.
200
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:44,233
- To many more.
- To many more.
201
00:08:47,236 --> 00:08:51,073
Which leads me
to the final surprise
202
00:08:51,156 --> 00:08:52,282
of the evening.
203
00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:57,955
- What are you doing?
- Hang on, I don't want to spoil the surprise.
204
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,374
Getting down on one knee,
it makes it pretty damn clear.
205
00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:02,918
Surprise!
206
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:13,345
Connie, will you
do me the honor
207
00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:15,138
of being my wife?
208
00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:18,433
Oh, John, I don't know.
209
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:22,062
How can you not know?
It's a binary decision.
210
00:09:22,145 --> 00:09:24,565
It's more complicated
th-than that.
211
00:09:24,648 --> 00:09:26,692
I don't see why.
We're compatible.
212
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:29,152
- [quietly] I know.
- We enjoy each other's company.
213
00:09:29,236 --> 00:09:32,823
- I know.
- And we've become extremely proficient in the bedroom.
214
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,700
There's very little
wasted effort.
215
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:35,993
[quietly]
John, sit back down
216
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:37,411
and lower your voice.
217
00:09:38,662 --> 00:09:39,746
Little help?
218
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,708
- Down is easier than up. [groans]
- Sure.
219
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:47,155
MARY: Thank you, God,
for this food we're about to receive,
220
00:09:47,212 --> 00:09:49,339
and for the nourishment
of our bodies, and bless
221
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:51,008
the hands that prepared it.
222
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:53,677
And an extra special thank you
for allowing us
223
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,805
to share our home
with our friend Veronica.
224
00:09:56,888 --> 00:09:58,515
- ALL: Amen.
- GEORGE JR.: Oh, yeah.
225
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:00,434
That's a big amen on that one.
226
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:02,185
All right, everybody, dig in.
227
00:10:02,728 --> 00:10:04,146
Would you like a dinner roll?
228
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:05,355
Mmm. Sure.
229
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:08,317
I find it really
rounds out the meal.
230
00:10:09,568 --> 00:10:10,944
- Mom?
- Yes, honey?
231
00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:13,488
Do I have to sit downwind
of Georgie's cologne?
232
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:17,200
So, Veronica, I understand
that you're a junior?
233
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:18,452
Mm. Yes, sir.
234
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:20,954
Do you have any plans
for after high school?
235
00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:23,332
I'm hoping for a
scholarship to Baylor
236
00:10:23,415 --> 00:10:25,375
- so I can get a teaching degree.
- Mm.
237
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:27,127
I like kids.
[chuckles]
238
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:29,630
Really? Kids? Ugh.
239
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:32,799
You're so tall and pretty.
You should be Vanna White.
240
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:34,259
How can she be Vanna White?
241
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:35,761
Vanna White is Vanna White.
242
00:10:35,844 --> 00:10:37,846
Fine. She can be Vanna Blue.
243
00:10:37,929 --> 00:10:39,640
See? This is the kind
of nonsense you have
244
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:41,475
to deal with
when you're around kids.
245
00:10:41,933 --> 00:10:43,018
He does have a point.
246
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:45,771
No. I-I love this.
247
00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:47,856
We never eat dinner
together at my house.
248
00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:49,316
You eat alone?
249
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,653
Mostly. Yeah.
250
00:10:53,612 --> 00:10:55,072
[quietly]
Lucky duck.
251
00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:58,617
[indistinct chatter]
252
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:00,118
John...
253
00:11:00,202 --> 00:11:01,703
I've already been
married once.
254
00:11:01,787 --> 00:11:04,539
I wasn't really planning
on ever doing it again.
255
00:11:04,623 --> 00:11:05,749
Why not?
256
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:08,919
I was somebody's wife
for a long time.
257
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:13,590
I just like being...
Connie Tucker now.
258
00:11:13,674 --> 00:11:15,425
Not Mrs...
259
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:16,843
somebody else's name.
260
00:11:17,302 --> 00:11:19,262
Well, what if I took your name?
261
00:11:20,097 --> 00:11:22,307
John Tucker, it sounds great.
262
00:11:22,391 --> 00:11:25,519
Like a football player
or an astronaut.
263
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:26,895
You're missing the point.
264
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,272
I just think it's important
for people to know
265
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:30,982
that we're an official couple.
266
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:32,859
We don't have to be married
for that.
267
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:35,696
Buy a billboard,
take an ad out in the paper.
268
00:11:37,364 --> 00:11:40,075
I understand. Thank you.
269
00:11:43,245 --> 00:11:44,246
Are we good?
270
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:46,123
Yes.
271
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,335
But if I should
pre-decease you...
272
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,315
[voice breaking]
I want you to have the ring.
273
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:56,425
- Fine.
- It'll be in the...
274
00:11:56,508 --> 00:11:59,928
top right corner
of my dresser drawer.
275
00:12:00,011 --> 00:12:02,764
- Got it.
- [crying] Under my tube socks.
276
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:11,732
Veronica.
277
00:12:11,815 --> 00:12:13,024
Veronica.
278
00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:14,109
VERONICA:
Come in.
279
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:17,112
Hey, Sheldon, what's up?
280
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:18,864
I printed out
my bathroom schedule.
281
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:20,782
I can't speak for anyone else
in this family,
282
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:22,534
but you can count on it
being occupied
283
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:23,869
during these times.
284
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:25,996
Thank you.
285
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,748
This is very helpful.
286
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:28,999
I know.
287
00:12:33,003 --> 00:12:34,337
Is there anything else?
288
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:37,632
There is, but...
I'm not allowed to ask about it.
289
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:39,926
Oh, it's okay.
You can ask me anything.
290
00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:41,928
Oh, good.
I don't like cats,
291
00:12:42,012 --> 00:12:43,764
but I share
their curious nature.
292
00:12:43,847 --> 00:12:45,766
[laughs]
What do you want to know?
293
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,684
Your mom has a boyfriend.
294
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:50,270
- Yeah.
- Where's your father?
295
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:52,397
I don't know.
296
00:12:53,398 --> 00:12:54,524
Why do you not know?
297
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:56,818
Well, he left
when I was really young
298
00:12:56,902 --> 00:12:58,528
and I never
heard from him again.
299
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,363
And why are you staying here?
300
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,283
My mom's boyfriend
isn't very nice.
301
00:13:03,825 --> 00:13:06,536
I understand.
My sister isn't very nice.
302
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,580
[chuckles]
So you get it?
303
00:13:08,663 --> 00:13:10,165
I do, thank you.
304
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:12,667
Okay, well,
talk to you later.
305
00:13:12,751 --> 00:13:14,795
But not between
7:00 and 7:12.
306
00:13:14,878 --> 00:13:17,506
Yup, I see it right here.
307
00:13:26,264 --> 00:13:27,265
[drops keys]
308
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:28,892
So... how about
309
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:31,520
I make us a pot of tea
and we'll get cozy?
310
00:13:31,603 --> 00:13:33,104
Sure, sounds good.
311
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:36,107
Just make yourself comfy,
I'll... I'll be right back.
312
00:13:39,945 --> 00:13:41,238
Mint tea?
313
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:44,616
Or would you like to go crazy
and have a little hibiscus?
314
00:13:44,699 --> 00:13:45,992
[door closes]
315
00:13:47,410 --> 00:13:48,411
[water turns off]
316
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,670
Ah, damn it.
317
00:13:56,753 --> 00:13:58,273
BOY [over TV]:
Buddy, they let you out?
318
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:00,340
BUDDY: Yeah,
but they let Charles in.
319
00:14:00,423 --> 00:14:02,300
Hey, can I join you?
320
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:03,718
Sure.
321
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,054
What you watching?
322
00:14:06,137 --> 00:14:07,848
Charles in Charge.
323
00:14:07,931 --> 00:14:09,933
It's kind of like Who's the Boss?
but with Chachi.
324
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:13,186
They should have called it
Chachi in Charge.
325
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:15,689
Chachi in Charge.
326
00:14:15,772 --> 00:14:17,691
That's three cha's. I like it.
327
00:14:17,774 --> 00:14:19,401
[laughs]
328
00:14:19,484 --> 00:14:21,653
Georgie, you're so funny.
329
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,405
Really?
330
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:24,573
Not everybody gets me.
331
00:14:25,824 --> 00:14:27,242
I get you.
332
00:14:31,621 --> 00:14:33,540
♪♪♪♪
333
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:38,879
Uh-oh.
334
00:14:42,716 --> 00:14:45,051
Oh, Mom. If you're sleeping
with the man,
335
00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:46,303
you should be married to him.
336
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:47,762
Why do I come here?
337
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:50,015
I got to find
a cooler chick to talk to.
338
00:14:50,932 --> 00:14:52,267
You know I'm right.
339
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:53,518
I know no such thing.
340
00:14:53,602 --> 00:14:54,895
It's my life,
I don't have to do
341
00:14:54,978 --> 00:14:56,605
anything 'cause
I'm "supposed to."
342
00:14:56,688 --> 00:14:58,356
I do it because I want to,
and right now,
343
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,275
I don't want to, end of story.
344
00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:02,444
- Good morning.
- Can I get you some breakfast, honey?
345
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:04,195
Yes, please.
346
00:15:05,322 --> 00:15:07,699
How was your anniversary date
with Dr. Sturgis?
347
00:15:07,782 --> 00:15:08,825
You knew about that?
348
00:15:08,909 --> 00:15:11,286
- Yes.
- So you knew he was gonna propose?
349
00:15:11,369 --> 00:15:13,538
Propose? No, that's wonderful.
350
00:15:13,622 --> 00:15:16,082
Although it's a little disconcerting
he didn't tell me.
351
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:17,834
I thought we were
closer than that.
352
00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:20,260
Well, we're not
getting married any time soon.
