Mm-hmm. I'll tell him.

Sheldon, you need to go
to the principal's office.

STUDENTS: Ooh...

4
00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:12,899
You do that every time.

5
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:14,389
Why?

6
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:16,860
Uh-huh. Okay. I'll be right there.

7

What's up?

8
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:22,029
Principal wants to talk to me.

00:00:22,030 --> 00:00:24,050
Ooh...

10
00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:25,100
Grow up.

11

00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:31,339
Oh.

13
00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:32,939
What are you doing here?

14
00:00:32,940 --> 00:00:35,079
I got called to the principal's office.

15
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,179
So did I.

17

What, you do something wrong?

18
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,219
Not that I'm aware of.

19
00:00:43,220 --> 00:00:44,780
Did you?

20
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,560
I hope not.

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,929
Maybe it's good news.

22
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:54,330
[SCOFFS] Sheldon, you ever been
called to the principal's office

23
00:00:54,340 --> 00:00:55,340
for good news?

24
00:00:55,341 --> 00:00:57,230
- Never.
- Mm.

25
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,869
Gentlemen, good news.

26
00:00:58,870 --> 00:01:01,469
I had a feeling. What's up?

27
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:04,170
We got the PSAT results
back, and Sheldon

28
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,779
got a perfect score.

29
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:08,679
- Neat.
- Thanks, Tom.

I'll be sure to put
that up on the fridge.

No, you don't understand.

32
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,329
Sheldon's the only kid in
the school to ever do this.

33
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:16,389
At his age, maybe in the whole country.

34
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:18,250
It was fun. I enjoyed it.

35
00:01:18,260 --> 00:01:19,720
So what's this mean?

36
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:22,409
It means he pitched a
perfect game, George.

37
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:25,000
I've already gotten calls from
colleges who want to meet him.

38
00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:26,849
For, like, scholarships and stuff?

around to recruit him.

What do you mean, colleges? He's ten.

Caltech is interested.

California, Mom.

California?!

00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:15,910
It has "Cal" right there in the name.

You're not a part of this conversation.

61
00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:20,449
The "tech" is for "technology."

62
00:02:20,450 --> 00:02:23,589
Shelly, go to your room.
The adults need to talk.

63
00:02:23,590 --> 00:02:26,519
Given the events of the day,
I would argue I <i>am</i> an adult

64
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,689
and should be treated as one.

65

I probably could've
said that differently.

You honestly think that
little boy's ready for college?

00:02:38,170 --> 00:02:40,070
Hey, I didn't think he
was ready for high school,

68
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,939
but here we are, a year and a half in,

69
00:02:41,940 --> 00:02:44,079
- and no one got hurt.
- That is different.

70
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,709
He's got you and Georgie over there,

71
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:49,119
and he's still living at home
with his mother and his sister.

72
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,819
- And me.
- Sure.

73
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:52,219
I understand all that.

74
00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:54,419
Then why are you
pushing so hard for this?

75
00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:57,259
Because these schools
are interested now.

76
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:58,839
It's like football recruitment.

You got to strike while the iron's hot.

Oh, yeah? What if he stops being smart

80

But I have to leave for
college at some point.

you know what would happen?

I'd enjoy higher learning?

91
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:32,329
You would die.

92
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:34,529
You would curl up on the floor and die.

93

That's not true.

94
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,729
You can't even take care
of your own boo-boos.

every college is staffed

for doing so well on that test.

103

- Mom!
- In a few years, sure.

105

But, right now, you can just keep taking

106
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,069
your one college class with Dr. Sturgis.

and forth every day.

How can he be so smart

113
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:21,039
and so clueless at the same time?

114
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,989
Dr. Sturgis lives at the school.
What if he acted as my guardian?

115
00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:26,159
That's an idea.

116
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,369
A crazy one.

117
00:04:27,370 --> 00:04:29,519

Shelly these abilities,

Okay. I'll ask him.

Have him spend a couple days
with me and see how it goes.

A trial run, huh?

141
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,669

And then you can take
care of both of us.

Why?

328
00:13:22,070 --> 00:13:23,809
Well, I was thinking we haven't had

That's 'cause we don't like each other.

Right, so I thought we could sit
down over a slice of rhubarb pie
