00:06:44,178 --> 00:06:46,949
It's a common argument in marriages.
183
00:06:46,951 --> 00:06:48,584
(door opens)
184
00:06:48,586 --> 00:06:50,252
Lights out.
185
00:06:50,254 --> 00:06:51,798
Big day tomorrow.
186
00:06:52,957 --> 00:06:54,156
Mom?
187
00:06:54,158 --> 00:06:55,424
Hmm?
188
00:06:55,426 --> 00:06:57,726
Do we have financial problems?
189
00:06:57,728 --> 00:07:00,396
Don't you worry about that.
190
00:07:00,398 --> 00:07:01,897
We are fine.
191
00:07:01,899 --> 00:07:04,366
Now, go to sleep.
192
00:07:04,368 --> 00:07:05,709
(sighs)
193
00:07:05,712 --> 00:07:08,637
She's lying. She just said
that to make you feel better.
194
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,006
Mom doesn't lie.
195
00:07:11,008 --> 00:07:12,608
Sure, she thinks
196
00:07:12,610 --> 00:07:14,343
the Earth was made in six days,
197
00:07:14,345 --> 00:07:16,855
but that's 'cause she's
gullible, not a liar.
198
00:07:20,351 --> 00:07:22,351
MISSY: Mom,
199
00:07:22,353 --> 00:07:24,553
Sheldon can't find his bowtie.
200
00:07:24,555 --> 00:07:27,066
Really? I laid it out for him.
201
00:07:27,069 --> 00:07:29,321
Leave it alone, Mary.
He doesn't need a bowtie.
202
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:31,924
It's his first day of school.
Let him wear what he wants.
203
00:07:31,927 --> 00:07:34,584
SHELDON: Mom, I can't find my bowtie!
204
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:36,999
Dear Lord, why's he
got to wear a bowtie?
205
00:07:38,069 --> 00:07:39,468
Can I drive in with you?
206
00:07:39,470 --> 00:07:40,856
Sure.
207
00:07:40,859 --> 00:07:43,037
Everybody's gonna
know he's your brother.
208
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,540
It's gonna be awful for you.
209
00:07:44,542 --> 00:07:45,841
Tell her to shut up.
210
00:07:45,843 --> 00:07:47,543
She's not wrong.
211
00:07:47,545 --> 00:07:49,244
(TV plays quietly)
212
00:07:49,246 --> 00:07:51,113
- It's got to be here.
- SHELDON: It's not.
213
00:07:51,115 --> 00:07:53,982
- It's not!
- Shelly, stay calm. We'll find it.
214
00:07:53,984 --> 00:07:56,284
- My tie is gone! My tie is gone!
- Shelly,
215
00:07:56,287 --> 00:07:57,620
you don't really need a tie.
216
00:07:57,623 --> 00:08:00,828
I have to find my tie.
I have to find my tie.
217
00:08:00,831 --> 00:08:02,303
Be right back.
218
00:08:02,306 --> 00:08:05,526
Professor Proton wears a bowtie!
219
00:08:05,529 --> 00:08:07,514
George Junior,
220
00:08:07,517 --> 00:08:10,393
- give me back that bowtie right now!
- I didn't take it!
221
00:08:10,396 --> 00:08:13,271
- Don't you lie to me!
- I'm not lying!
222
00:08:13,274 --> 00:08:16,672
- We'll see about that.
- Stay out of my room!
223
00:08:16,674 --> 00:08:18,440
She's gonna find your dirty magazines.
224
00:08:18,442 --> 00:08:19,808
Shut up!
225
00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:21,814
You are not having a good day.
226
00:08:21,817 --> 00:08:23,142
(sighs)
227
00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:28,951
(sighs)
228
00:08:30,254 --> 00:08:31,587
Ugh!
229
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:33,522
(sighs)
230
00:08:33,524 --> 00:08:35,824
Hey. Hey, he didn't take it.
231
00:08:35,826 --> 00:08:38,193
- Then what happened to it?!
- SHELDON: Help me find my bowtie!
232
00:08:38,195 --> 00:08:40,229
I'll check in the bathroom!
233
00:08:40,231 --> 00:08:41,663
I took it.
234
00:08:41,665 --> 00:08:43,966
- Why would you do that?
- Mary,
235
00:08:43,968 --> 00:08:46,410
the boy is nine years old
and going into high school.
236
00:08:46,413 --> 00:08:47,813
Isn't that weird enough?
237
00:08:47,816 --> 00:08:49,570
- Give it to me.
- Come on.
238
00:08:49,573 --> 00:08:51,039
It's not just Sheldon.
239
00:08:51,041 --> 00:08:52,908
Georgie's gonna be in class with him.
240
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:54,710
Not in the bathroom!
241
00:08:54,712 --> 00:08:56,071
Give it.
242
00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:59,529

243
00:08:59,532 --> 00:09:02,818

246
00:09:10,561 --> 00:09:12,492
Not really. I always lose.
247
00:09:12,495 --> 00:09:14,125
- I know. That's why it's fun.
- (laughs)
248
00:09:14,128 --> 00:09:17,231
How about license
plates with prime numbers
249
00:09:17,234 --> 00:09:19,535
- followed by a cons...?
- Why don't we just talk?
250
00:09:19,537 --> 00:09:20,602
Very well.
251
00:09:22,077 --> 00:09:23,283
You understand
252
00:09:23,286 --> 00:09:25,486
that some people are
gonna be intimidated by you
253
00:09:25,489 --> 00:09:27,222
'cause of how smart you are?
254
00:09:27,225 --> 00:09:29,303
Or maybe they'll recognize my intellect
255
00:09:29,306 --> 00:09:31,280
and make me their leader.
256
00:09:31,282 --> 00:09:33,682
Lord, look after my son.
257
00:09:33,684 --> 00:09:36,718

(distorted speech)
262
00:09:49,433 --> 00:09:50,799
Oh, dear.
263
00:09:50,801 --> 00:09:52,267
Yeah.
264
00:09:52,269 --> 00:09:54,912
That boy has an exposed tattoo.
265
00:09:54,915 --> 00:09:55,971
He does.
266
00:09:55,973 --> 00:09:56,908
I wonder if he knows
267
00:09:56,911 --> 00:09:59,074
that's in violation of the dress code.
268
00:09:59,076 --> 00:10:03,779
Speaking of which, how
about we lose the bowtie?
269
00:10:03,781 --> 00:10:05,547
Why?
270
00:10:05,549 --> 00:10:08,116
Look around, honey. None of
the other kids are wearing one.
271
00:10:08,118 --> 00:10:09,827
Well, perhaps I'll start a fad.
272
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:12,354
No, you won't. Please trust Mommy.
273
00:10:13,290 --> 00:10:14,756
All right, tell you what.
274
00:10:14,758 --> 00:10:17,459
You take it off, and this weekend,
275
00:10:17,461 --> 00:10:19,728
I'll take you to RadioShack.
276
00:10:19,730 --> 00:10:21,163
Hmm?
277
00:10:21,165 --> 00:10:23,332
(bell ringing)
278
00:10:23,334 --> 00:10:25,701
(indistinct chatter)
279
00:10:27,438 --> 00:10:29,304
(growling)
280
00:10:29,306 --> 00:10:30,839
You doing okay?
281
00:10:30,841 --> 00:10:32,455
I guess.
282
00:10:32,458 --> 00:10:34,009
(roars)
283
00:10:34,011 --> 00:10:35,644
I smell ammonia.
284
00:10:35,646 --> 00:10:38,046
They must've done a
thorough cleaning recently.
285
00:10:38,048 --> 00:10:39,815
I like that.
286
00:10:39,817 --> 00:10:43,485
MARY: And remember, if anybody
bothers you, what do you say?
287
00:10:43,487 --> 00:10:45,454
My dad's a football coach.
288
00:10:45,457 --> 00:10:47,692
- And?
- My brother's a football player.
289
00:10:47,695 --> 00:10:48,757
Good.
290
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:50,364
Hey, Mom, look.
291
00:10:50,367 --> 00:10:52,634
That girl's pregnant.
292
00:10:52,637 --> 00:10:54,237
Congratulations.
293
00:11:00,603 --> 00:11:02,796
(toilet flushing)
294
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,299
Well, that was revolting.
295
00:11:05,302 --> 00:11:08,062
All right. This is your homeroom.
296
00:11:08,065 --> 00:11:09,764
Do you want me to go in with you?
297
00:11:09,766 --> 00:11:12,418
No. Although I could've
used you in the restroom.
298
00:11:12,421 --> 00:11:14,802
Okay, well...
299
00:11:14,805 --> 00:11:16,137
You have a good day.
300
00:11:16,139 --> 00:11:17,606
And I'll pick you up after school,
301
00:11:17,608 --> 00:11:19,274
same door we came in.
302
00:11:19,276 --> 00:11:21,910
Are you crying or
having an allergy attack?
303
00:11:21,912 --> 00:11:24,246
Allergies.
304
00:11:24,248 --> 00:11:25,814
It's probably the ammonia.
305
00:11:25,816 --> 00:11:27,716
Probably. (sniffles)
306
00:11:27,718 --> 00:11:30,714
Okay. Let the learning begin.
307
00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:40,061
(exhales)
308
00:11:40,063 --> 00:11:44,266
All right, everybody,
my name is Ms. MacElroy.
309
00:11:44,268 --> 00:11:46,786
In addition to being
your homeroom teacher,
310
00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:49,237
I'll be seeing some of
you in my English class,
311
00:11:49,239 --> 00:11:51,239
and some of you on the volleyball court.
312
00:11:51,241 --> 00:11:53,074
Just to give you a little history,
313
00:11:53,076 --> 00:11:55,977
I've been here at
Medford for 29 years...
314
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:58,156
I taught some of your
older brothers and sisters,
315
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:00,782
and sadly, some of your parents.
316
00:12:02,319 --> 00:12:03,718
Not much I haven't seen.
317
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,630
Until today.
318
00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:08,734
I'm sure you're well aware
we have a student with us,
319
00:12:08,737 --> 00:12:11,026
who, despite his young age,
320
00:12:11,028 --> 00:12:13,138
is remarkably gifted.
321
00:12:13,141 --> 00:12:16,565
And I expect y'all to
make him feel welcome.
322
00:12:17,634 --> 00:12:18,937
Yes, Sheldon?
323
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:21,369
Per the student dress and grooming code,
324
00:12:21,371 --> 00:12:23,305
this boy's hair is too long,
325
00:12:23,307 --> 00:12:25,097
this boy is wearing sports attire
326
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,147
outside of a designated area
327
00:12:27,150 --> 00:12:29,514
and this girl's blouse is diaphanous,
328
00:12:29,517 --> 00:12:31,775
which means I can see her brassiere.
329
00:12:31,778 --> 00:12:34,182
- (laughter)
- Thank you.
330
00:12:34,184 --> 00:12:36,084
I will take that into account.
331
00:12:36,086 --> 00:12:37,419
All right.
332
00:12:37,421 --> 00:12:39,688
We have a few minutes
before first period.
333
00:12:39,690 --> 00:12:41,829
I need y'all to fill out these forms.
334
00:12:41,832 --> 00:12:42,891
What?
335
00:12:42,893 --> 00:12:44,181
Also in violation
336
00:12:44,184 --> 00:12:46,061
of the grooming code on page 48,
337
00:12:46,063 --> 00:12:48,129
article five, subsection B,
338
00:12:48,131 --> 00:12:50,231
you have a bit of a mustache.
339
00:12:50,233 --> 00:12:51,600
(laughter)
340
00:12:52,611 --> 00:12:54,803
This is a stupid idea. This boy does not
341
00:12:54,805 --> 00:12:56,204
belong in our school.
342
00:12:56,206 --> 00:12:58,073
PETERSEN: Come on Vicky,
it's just the first day.
343
00:12:58,075 --> 00:12:59,908
Why don't we all just
take a deep breath here?
344
00:12:59,911 --> 00:13:02,802
The hell with that. Five
minutes into my math class,
345
00:13:02,805 --> 00:13:04,016
he questioned my credentials.
346
00:13:04,019 --> 00:13:05,981
How am I supposed to control a
classroom when a kid accuses me
347
00:13:05,983 --> 00:13:07,849
of being in breach of the hygiene code?
348
00:13:07,851 --> 00:13:09,651
Well, Hubert, it wouldn't
kill you to shower
349
00:13:09,653 --> 00:13:12,008
a little more often. George,
you want to weigh in here?
350
00:13:12,011 --> 00:13:14,208
- Well...
- INGRAM: Oral Roberts University
351
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:15,323
is a wonderful school.
352
00:13:15,325 --> 00:13:17,092
He said I was intimidated
by his intelligence,
353
00:13:17,094 --> 00:13:18,268
and then,
354
00:13:18,271 --> 00:13:20,929
he offered to be my "leader."
355
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:22,864
(clears throat)
356
00:13:22,866 --> 00:13:25,233
(playing Mozart's Sonata in D)
357
00:13:51,461 --> 00:13:53,628
(piano playing)
358
00:14:04,941 --> 00:14:06,141
(stops playing)
359
00:14:06,143 --> 00:14:07,776
Do you know this sonata?
360
00:14:07,778 --> 00:14:09,110
No.
361
00:14:09,112 --> 00:14:11,212
How long have you played the piano?
362
00:14:11,214 --> 00:14:13,882
I don't play piano.
363
00:14:13,884 --> 00:14:16,251
PETERSEN: George,
364
00:14:16,253 --> 00:14:17,719
you got any thoughts here?
365
00:14:17,721 --> 00:14:19,120
I certainly do.
366
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:22,290
Mary, tell him.
367
00:14:22,292 --> 00:14:25,160
It's simple. We don't have a choice.
368
00:14:25,162 --> 00:14:26,728
Well, you gave it a shot.
369
00:14:26,730 --> 00:14:28,630
We wish you luck with
Sheldon elsewhere...
370
00:14:28,632 --> 00:14:30,477
MARY: No, no, no.
371
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,766
We don't have a choice.
372
00:14:31,768 --> 00:14:33,001
He's got to stay here.
373
00:14:33,003 --> 00:14:34,290
We can't afford
374
00:14:34,293 --> 00:14:35,179
private school.
375
00:14:35,182 --> 00:14:36,525
I sure can't homeschool him.
376
00:14:36,528 --> 00:14:38,880
He's doing calculus and
Euclidean something or other.
377
00:14:38,883 --> 00:14:40,183
Euclidean geometry.
378
00:14:40,186 --> 00:14:41,910
Guess where I learned that.
379
00:14:41,912 --> 00:14:43,645
Yeah, yeah, we know.
380
00:14:44,247 --> 00:14:46,081
All I care about is that
381
00:14:46,083 --> 00:14:48,750
my son gets the education
he deserves, so you all
382
00:14:48,753 --> 00:14:50,318
are gonna have to figure this out.
383
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,953
Coach, can you help me out here, please?
384
00:14:51,955 --> 00:14:53,488
'Cause I'm dyin'.
385
00:14:56,993 --> 00:14:58,481
I'd rather not.
386
00:15:02,866 --> 00:15:04,497
G minor.
387
00:15:05,388 --> 00:15:07,622
F.
388
00:15:07,625 --> 00:15:10,472
E flat.
389
00:15:11,308 --> 00:15:12,769
C minor.
390
00:15:15,612 --> 00:15:17,312
You have perfect pitch.
391
00:15:17,314 --> 00:15:18,813
Okay.
392
00:15:18,815 --> 00:15:22,450
Sweetheart, you should
really pursue music.
393
00:15:22,452 --> 00:15:25,353
No, thank you. Musicians take drugs.
394
00:15:26,138 --> 00:15:28,664
Is there a faculty restroom I could use?
395
00:15:30,922 --> 00:15:32,627

Stop! Stop!

What the hell is wrong with you?
412
00:16:17,387 --> 00:16:18,907
You okay?
413
00:16:18,909 --> 00:16:20,958
No, I'm not okay.
414
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,386
Where you think you're going?
415
00:16:31,388 --> 00:16:33,354
I quit. I don't want to play anymore!
416
00:16:33,356 --> 00:16:36,580
- Since when?
- Since right now!
417
00:16:36,583 --> 00:16:38,096
All right, what is going on?
418
00:16:38,099 --> 00:16:40,195
What do you think's going on?!
419
00:16:40,197 --> 00:16:42,351
You mean Sheldon?
420
00:16:45,007 --> 00:16:46,835
You can't let that bother you.
421
00:16:46,838 --> 00:16:48,132
It doesn't bother you?
422
00:16:48,135 --> 00:16:50,249
You got called to the
principal's office.
423
00:16:50,252 --> 00:16:52,440
Yeah, that wasn't so great.
424
00:16:52,442 --> 00:16:54,153
I can't be in the same school as him!
425
00:16:54,156 --> 00:16:55,794
Well, I don't see what choice you have.
426
00:16:55,797 --> 00:16:59,004
Right. Ever since he could
talk, I quit having any choices.
427
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:05,854
(groans)
428
00:17:05,856 --> 00:17:08,289
I know it's hard.
429
00:17:08,291 --> 00:17:12,227
I'm telling you, as your
coach, quit your whining,
430
00:17:12,229 --> 00:17:14,596
get your uniform on and you
get your ass back out there.
431
00:17:14,598 --> 00:17:17,599
But what about as my dad?
432
00:17:17,601 --> 00:17:20,168
Your dad is having a bad day.
433
00:17:20,170 --> 00:17:21,719
Listen to your coach.
434
00:17:27,804 --> 00:17:32,112
Can a clock be powered
by an ordinary potato?
435
00:17:32,115 --> 00:17:34,148
I hope so, boys and girls,
436
00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:37,516
or this is going to be
a really boring episode.
437
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:39,386
The supplies you'll need...
438
00:17:39,389 --> 00:17:41,322
Why can't we watch DuckTales?
439
00:17:41,324 --> 00:17:44,492
'Cause we don't learn anything
watching DuckTales.
440
00:17:44,494 --> 00:17:47,918
It's TV, we aren't supposed to learn.
441
00:17:47,921 --> 00:17:50,831
Two alligator grips and, let's see...
442
00:17:50,834 --> 00:17:53,097
Of course, a clock.
443
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:55,469
Missy, go somewhere else. I
need to talk to your brother.
444
00:17:55,472 --> 00:17:58,039
Why don't you go somewhere
else and I can watch Duck...
445
00:17:58,041 --> 00:17:59,307
Go!
446
00:17:59,309 --> 00:18:01,697
I hate everybody.
447
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:04,568
It's time for science.
448
00:18:06,883 --> 00:18:10,207
Hey, he was about to power
a clock with a potato.
449
00:18:10,210 --> 00:18:11,418
Not possible.
450
00:18:11,421 --> 00:18:13,354
- Now, listen...
- Am I in trouble?
451
00:18:13,356 --> 00:18:15,234
No.
452
00:18:15,237 --> 00:18:17,234
Maybe. Just listen.
453
00:18:18,695 --> 00:18:21,329
You're not gonna make it in this school
454
00:18:21,331 --> 00:18:23,012
if you keep ratting people out.
455
00:18:23,015 --> 00:18:24,745
But they were breaking
the grooming codes
456
00:18:24,748 --> 00:18:26,153
and the dress codes.
457
00:18:26,156 --> 00:18:29,591
I saw one boy with
a T-shirt that said...
458
00:18:29,594 --> 00:18:30,989
(whispering): "Bite me."
459
00:18:30,992 --> 00:18:33,341
Yeah. That-that's terrible.
460
00:18:33,343 --> 00:18:35,783
Sheldon, let me tell you a little story.
461
00:18:35,786 --> 00:18:38,179
Did you ever wonder why we
moved from Galveston to Medford?
462
00:18:38,181 --> 00:18:41,783
No. I tend to wonder
about the bigger questions.
463
00:18:41,785 --> 00:18:44,118
Okay, well, here's why.
464
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,921
Your dad had a real good coaching job
465
00:18:46,923 --> 00:18:49,457
and I saw some
grown-ups breaking rules.
466
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:50,468
What'd they do?
467
00:18:50,471 --> 00:18:52,705
I-It's kind of complicated, but...
468
00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:54,859
football coaches aren't
allowed to recruit kids
469
00:18:54,862 --> 00:18:57,304
from other high schools
to play on their teams.
470
00:18:57,307 --> 00:18:58,567
And you told on them?
471
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:00,551
Yeah. You know what happened?
472
00:19:00,554 --> 00:19:03,571
Justice descended
upon the rule breakers?
473
00:19:03,573 --> 00:19:07,141
I got fired, Sheldon.
474
00:19:07,143 --> 00:19:09,177
And I got a bad reputation.
475
00:19:09,179 --> 00:19:12,080
Oh. That's why you drink so much beer.
476
00:19:15,950 --> 00:19:17,482
Just do yourself a favor.
477
00:19:17,485 --> 00:19:19,477
Okay? Go to school tomorrow,
478
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,223
and mind your own business.
479
00:19:22,226 --> 00:19:23,329
All right?
480
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:26,470
Dad.
481
00:19:27,931 --> 00:19:30,064
Are you sad that you got fired?
482
00:19:32,635 --> 00:19:35,903
Mostly angry.
483
00:19:35,905 --> 00:19:38,627
But yeah.
484
00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:40,797
Maybe a little sad.
485
00:19:48,418 --> 00:19:50,687
All right, let's say grace.
