00:00:01,250 --> 00:00:03,800
ADULT SHELDON: In tenth
grade, high school students
2
00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:06,530
are presented with picking a
class of their own choosing.
3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:09,400
This is called an elective.
4
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:12,070
Courses on offer included wood shop...
5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,630
I'm happy with ten fingers, thank you.
6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,330
Introduction to agriculture...
7
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:19,070
I think you know the answer to that.
8
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:20,900
- [MOOS]
- Wrestling...
9
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:23,510
I'd rather milk that cow.
10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,220
All of which led me to the
elective I reluctantly chose...
11
00:00:27,270 --> 00:00:30,260
Psychology 101, an investigation
12
00:00:30,270 --> 00:00:34,070
into why people think and
feel the way they do. Ugh.
13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,410
MR. GIVENS: All right,
14
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:36,990
with Thanksgiving weekend approaching,
15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,070
it's the perfect opportunity to observe
16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,360
family dynamics and how
our parents, relatives
17
00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:43,790
and siblings affect us.
18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,890
Now, the...
19
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:46,530
Yes, Sheldon.
20
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:48,260
I don't find that interesting.
21
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:50,070
Well, tough knuckles,
that's the assignment.
22
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,530
Now, you'll all be expected
to collect data on your family,
23
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:55,810
form a hypothesis,
and make a prediction.
24
00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:58,570
So you're giving us
homework for Thanksgiving?
25
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:00,580
Yes.
26
00:01:00,590 --> 00:01:02,170
Oh, boy!
27
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,650
♪ Nobody else is stronger than I am ♪
28
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:09,490
♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain ♪
29
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,090
♪ I bet I could be your hero ♪
30
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,750
♪ I am a mighty little man ♪

32
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:26,500
Hey, listen, something came up today
33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,570
- that we need to talk about.
- What's that?
34
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:31,510
I maybe have a shot at a better job.
35
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,180
Oh, George, they're finally
gonna make you head coach?
36
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:36,440
Better than that.
37
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:38,890
Special Teams Coach,
University of Tulsa.
38
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:40,930
In Oklahoma?
39
00:01:40,940 --> 00:01:43,440
That is where they're
keeping Tulsa these days.
40
00:01:43,450 --> 00:01:44,910
No need to be lippy.
41
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,520
You're not seriously
thinking about moving
42
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:49,990
this whole family to Oklahoma, are you?
43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,260
GEORGE SR.: It's 400 miles
away, I wasn't gonna commute.
44
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:54,110
MARY: Well, that's not gonna work.
45
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,130
The kids are all settled
in with school and friends,
46
00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:58,870
and I've got my job at the church,
47
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,400
and then there's Mom.
48
00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:02,270
Am I supposed to just
walk away from her?
49
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,820
GEORGE SR.: No, what
you're supposed to do
50
00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:05,760
is support my efforts
to improve our life.
51
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:15,890
Notes for psychology paper.
52
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,060
What you doing?
53
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,620
Shh. Family conflict has been observed.
54
00:02:19,630 --> 00:02:23,530
Subject M and Subject D have
opposing views on relocating.
55
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:27,060
You better not be recording
over my Janet Jackson tape.
56
00:02:27,070 --> 00:02:28,800
Would you please?
57
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:30,700
Who's Subject M and Subject D?
58
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:33,400
I can't tell you that,
you might skew the results.
59
00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:36,310
Okay, then tell me what skew means.
60
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,170
Are you going to talk the whole time?
61
00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:41,420
It seems to be annoying you, so, yeah.
62
00:02:45,890 --> 00:02:49,450
Mary, I just can't thank you
enough for inviting me today.
63
00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:52,590
You're very welcome,
John. Love having you here.
64
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,330
Last Thanksgiving, I just sat
in my apartment all by myself
65
00:02:56,340 --> 00:02:58,360
and ate a turkey sandwich.
66
00:02:58,370 --> 00:02:59,730
That is so sad.
67
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:01,510
Well, it wasn't at the time,
68
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,930
but now that I have
something to compare it to,
69
00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:06,600
I realize what a pathetic loser I was.
70
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:08,910
You were never a loser.
71
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,340
Yeah, you were.
72
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:13,540
Hey, Georgie,
73
00:03:13,550 --> 00:03:15,850
you have any sentimental
attachment to this town?
74
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:18,210
- I don't know, why?
- I'm just curious if,
75
00:03:18,220 --> 00:03:20,750
you know, we ever did pick
up and live somewhere else,
76
00:03:20,770 --> 00:03:21,800
how you'd feel about it.
77
00:03:22,450 --> 00:03:24,990
Well, if it was Hawaii,
I'd feel pretty great.
78
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,580
That's where they make Magnum, P.I.
79
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:28,960
I don't think Hawaii's in the cards.
80
00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:30,230
How about Miami?
81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,360
Let me guess, 'cause of Miami Vice?
82
00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:33,930
Golden Girls.
83
00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:35,570
Course.
84
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:36,820
Car.
85
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,410
I saw this one
86
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:41,400
where Blanche dates this little guy
87
00:03:41,410 --> 00:03:45,410
who breaks up with her 'cause
she's not Jewish. So good.
88
00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:48,910
Forget about Miami
and Hawaii and Blanche.
89
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,750
I mean, how do you feel about
not staying in Medford forever?
90
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,650
Well, I guess I'd be okay with it.
91
00:03:53,660 --> 00:03:55,520
All right.
92
00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:57,020
Good to know.
93
00:03:57,030 --> 00:04:00,060
Subject D is attempting
to influence Subject G
94
00:04:00,070 --> 00:04:01,390
regarding relocating.
95
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,630
What about you, Sheldon?
96
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,230
What about me what?
97
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,330
Could you ever see
yourself leaving Medford?
98
00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:11,170
I'm sorry, Dad, but
I'm unable to express
99
00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:12,900
an opinion at this time.
100
00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:13,970
Why not?
101
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:15,670
In the interest of science,
102
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,770
I have to remain a neutral observer.
103
00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:20,800
Glad I asked.
104
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:23,910
Hey, fellows, may I join?
105
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Sure. Here you go.
106
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:29,730
GEORGE JR.: Dang, nice catch.
107
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,200
SHELDON: Car.
108
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:38,530
Listen, I'm gonna need
your help with something.
109
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:40,400
- Is it about money?
- No.
110
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:42,280
Then I'm your gal. What's up?
111
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:45,700
George is up for a coaching
job at the University of Tulsa.
112
00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:47,960
Tulsa? Ugh.
113
00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:51,170
Last year, I lost
$800 on that damn team.
114
00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:52,650
I'm sorry to hear that.
115
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:55,110
I'm fine with most of
the Division I stuff,
116
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,580
but these independent teams,
117
00:04:57,590 --> 00:05:00,180
I j... I just can't seem
to get a handle on it.
118
00:05:00,190 --> 00:05:03,220
You think if George got that job
he might give me an inside line?
119
00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:04,330
Mom.
120
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:06,160
Well, I'd cut him in,
121
00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:07,960
make it look like a Christmas present.
122
00:05:07,970 --> 00:05:09,460
Would you please listen to me?
123
00:05:09,470 --> 00:05:11,060
If we move up there,
124
00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:12,330
other than holidays,
125
00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:14,370
you're not gonna see your grandkids.
126
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:17,070
Oh, that's a point.
127
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,240
You make it sound like a
Sophie's Choice kind of deal.
128
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:23,530
During dinner, maybe you could express
129
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:27,310
how devastating it would
be to be away from the kids.
130
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,890
Well, I don't think I'd
use the word "devastating."
131
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:31,350
That doesn't sound like me.
132
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,150
Okay, well, use whatever word you want.
133
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,150
I might use... "heartbroken."
134
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160
Good, use that.
135
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:42,800
Yeah, maybe. Have you got a thesaurus?
136
00:05:47,770 --> 00:05:49,230
Oh, dear.
137
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,530
Don't be scared, Sheldon,
it's just a parade.
138
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:53,060
I already don't like dogs.
139
00:05:53,070 --> 00:05:55,500
Gigantic and floating does not help.
140
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:58,440
- Hey, how's the parade?
- MISSY: Great.
141
00:05:58,450 --> 00:06:00,180
Alf is one of the hosts.
142
00:06:00,190 --> 00:06:04,310
Alf, cool. Hey, so listen,
143
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,720
how attached are you to
living here in Medford?
144
00:06:06,730 --> 00:06:08,320
I don't know what that means.
145
00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:09,670
If we moved away,
146
00:06:09,690 --> 00:06:12,660
do you have really good
friends that you'd miss a lot?
147
00:06:12,670 --> 00:06:14,020
I have really good friends,
148
00:06:14,030 --> 00:06:15,860
but I think they would mostly miss me.
149
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:17,730
'Cause you make friends wherever you go.
150
00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:19,800
I do. People are drawn to me.
151
00:06:19,810 --> 00:06:20,900
Ugh.
152
00:06:21,940 --> 00:06:24,270
Sorry, I'm neutral.
153
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,890
Okay, so what I'm hearing is that
154
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:28,930
you'd be happy no matter where we lived.
155
00:06:28,940 --> 00:06:31,640
I guess. Dad, please,
I'm trying to watch TV.
156
00:06:31,650 --> 00:06:34,690
Sorry. I'll leave you to it.
157
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,860
Oh dear, Big Bird.
158
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,780
You're making a sandwich?
159
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:56,200
- I'm a creature of habit.
- [CHUCKLES]
160
00:06:56,210 --> 00:06:58,870
Hey, why don't we all
go around the table
161
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,000
and say what we're thankful for?
162
00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:02,400
Come on, really?
163
00:07:02,410 --> 00:07:03,700
Yes, really.
164
00:07:03,710 --> 00:07:05,040
I'll start.
165
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:09,080
I'm thankful to be surrounded
by my loving family.
166
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:10,540
What about that guy?
167
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:12,410
That guy... Dr. Sturgis...
168
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,350
Is part of our extended family.
169
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,539
Mm, thank you.
170
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:19,870
And I'm also thankful for
this warm and comfy home
171
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,260
that God has blessed us with
and this great neighborhood
172
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:24,610
with my mom living
173
00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:26,230
right across the street,
174
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,950
and of course our excellent
175
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,350
school system that provides our children
176
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,520
with a world-class education.
177
00:07:33,530 --> 00:07:35,420
Missy?
178
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:38,420
I'm thankful that there's two
different Ghostbuster cartoons.
179
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:39,660

and the new house would
probably have a different smell,

and I probably wouldn't like that smell
407
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,590
because I don't like new smells,
408
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,440
and I'd be going to a new school
