00:00:00,151 --> 00:00:01,930
Previously on Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:01,933 --> 00:00:03,604
Which bowtie says "mature enough
3
00:00:03,607 --> 00:00:05,302
to be in college, but whimsical enough
4
00:00:05,304 --> 00:00:06,869
to discuss which came first,
5
00:00:06,871 --> 00:00:08,654
the Higgs field or the photon"?
6
00:00:08,656 --> 00:00:10,743
They both say "weird
kid who eats alone."
7
00:00:10,745 --> 00:00:13,354
Hello, Dr. Sturgis. This is Mary Cooper.
8
00:00:13,356 --> 00:00:16,852
Did you know there's a, uh,
supercollider being built
9
00:00:16,855 --> 00:00:19,490
- in Waxahachie, Texas?
- No.
10
00:00:19,492 --> 00:00:21,667
I've taken a job there.
11
00:00:21,669 --> 00:00:24,670
Hold on. You're not gonna be around
12
00:00:24,672 --> 00:00:26,052
when Sheldon starts college?
13
00:00:26,055 --> 00:00:28,151
That's a great question.
14
00:00:28,153 --> 00:00:29,633
No.
15
00:00:31,766 --> 00:00:33,200
JEFF: Since everyone
16
00:00:33,202 --> 00:00:35,388
is going back to school
tomorrow, let's finish up
17
00:00:35,391 --> 00:00:38,508
with a back-to-school prayer. What?
18
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:40,293
Does this prayer just
apply to middle school,
19
00:00:40,295 --> 00:00:42,904
or is it appropriate
for the college-bound?
20
00:00:42,906 --> 00:00:44,297
It's for everyone.
21
00:00:44,299 --> 00:00:46,691
But thank you once
again for reminding us
22
00:00:46,693 --> 00:00:47,996
you're starting college.
23
00:00:47,998 --> 00:00:50,140
Oh, I don't mind. You've
got a lot on your plate.
24
00:00:50,143 --> 00:00:51,777
Just pray.
25
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:55,195
ALL: Dear Heavenly Father,
as we return to school,
26
00:00:55,198 --> 00:00:56,492
we look to your eternal...
27
00:00:56,495 --> 00:00:57,783
Billy, it's not the pledge.
28
00:01:00,797 --> 00:01:03,316
It is clear that we cannot
expect the cooperation...
29
00:01:03,318 --> 00:01:07,537
Normally I don't like facial
hair, but Spock makes it work.
30
00:01:07,539 --> 00:01:08,974
- Hello?
- Sheldon,
31
00:01:08,976 --> 00:01:10,789
it's Dr. Linkletter.
32
00:01:10,792 --> 00:01:13,065
I'm watching Star Trek:
The Original Series.
33
00:01:13,067 --> 00:01:15,601
I'm sorry, I'm not up on my cartoons.
34
00:01:15,604 --> 00:01:17,430
It's not a cartoon. It's a live-action
35
00:01:17,433 --> 00:01:18,823
science fiction show.
36
00:01:18,826 --> 00:01:20,586
Although there is one called Star Trek:
37
00:01:20,589 --> 00:01:22,023
The Animated Series.
38
00:01:22,026 --> 00:01:23,591
I believe you.
39
00:01:23,594 --> 00:01:25,985
I was wondering if I can
speak with your mommy.
40
00:01:25,988 --> 00:01:27,340
Sure. Hold on.
41
00:01:27,342 --> 00:01:29,908
Mom, Dr. Linkletter's on the phone.
42
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:31,505
While we wait, here's a fun fact.
43
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:32,672
In the animated series,
44
00:01:32,675 --> 00:01:34,738
Kukulkan was played by James Doohan.
45
00:01:34,741 --> 00:01:37,045
- Hello?
- James Doohan played Scotty
46
00:01:37,047 --> 00:01:38,438
on Star Trek: The Original Series.
47
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,968
Sheldon, I've got it.
48
00:01:39,971 --> 00:01:42,833
He tried several accents
before settling on Scottish.
49
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:44,866
- MARY: Sheldon, hang up.
- SHELDON: Okay.
50
00:01:44,869 --> 00:01:48,141
He felt the Scots were
excellent engineers. Bye.
51
00:01:48,144 --> 00:01:49,819
Dr. Linkletter,
52
00:01:49,822 --> 00:01:50,991
what can I do for you?
53
00:01:50,994 --> 00:01:53,546
Hello, Mrs. Cooper. I just
wanted to let you know,
54
00:01:53,549 --> 00:01:56,019
with Dr. Sturgis away, I'll be available
55
00:01:56,022 --> 00:01:57,866
should Sheldon need anything.
56
00:01:57,869 --> 00:02:02,219
Oh, that is very comforting
to know. Thank you so much.
57
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:04,745
His well-being is important to me,
58
00:02:04,748 --> 00:02:07,531
as was made abundantly clear by my boss.
59
00:02:07,534 --> 00:02:11,366
Okay, well, we are truly grateful.
60
00:02:11,369 --> 00:02:13,874
Now, I'm not terribly
experienced around children.
61
00:02:13,877 --> 00:02:15,964
If he needs to use the
restroom, I don't have to
62
00:02:15,967 --> 00:02:18,257
go in with him, do I?

Bless us, Lord, for the
food we are about to receive,
69
00:02:39,542 --> 00:02:41,242
and bless the hands that prepared it.
70
00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:42,899
And with school starting tomorrow,
71
00:02:42,902 --> 00:02:44,733
please watch over our children.
72
00:02:44,736 --> 00:02:46,446
Pastor Jeff already covered this.
73
00:02:46,449 --> 00:02:48,542
- He did?
- Yeah, we're good. Amen.
74
00:02:48,544 --> 00:02:50,943
ALL: Amen.
75
00:02:50,945 --> 00:02:52,339
Can I take your truck tomorrow?
76
00:02:52,341 --> 00:02:54,433
Well, I think you're riding with me.
77
00:02:54,435 --> 00:02:56,720
Sorry, I'm taking Missy to school,
78
00:02:56,723 --> 00:02:58,903
and Meemaw's taking Sheldon.
79
00:02:58,906 --> 00:03:01,435
- Well, can I at least drive?
- Sure.
80
00:03:01,438 --> 00:03:03,336
While you hide in the back under a tarp?
81
00:03:03,339 --> 00:03:06,217
Stop praying for him and
focus on the other two.
82
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:08,823
Sheldon, good news.
83
00:03:08,826 --> 00:03:10,712
Dr. Linkletter was calling to say
84
00:03:10,715 --> 00:03:13,438
that while you're at
school, if you need anything,
85
00:03:13,441 --> 00:03:14,918
you can go to him.
86
00:03:14,921 --> 00:03:17,171
Starting college and
you need a babysitter.
87
00:03:17,174 --> 00:03:18,263
That's funny.
88
00:03:18,265 --> 00:03:20,027
I don't need a babysitter.
89
00:03:20,030 --> 00:03:24,252
Dr. Linkletter is just around
in case there's a problem.
90
00:03:24,255 --> 00:03:26,261
- Like if he needs a new diaper?
- Ha!
91
00:03:26,264 --> 00:03:29,107
- Enough.
- Can we please have a nice dinner?
92
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:32,511
We could. But you're the one
who wants to eat as a family.
93
00:03:32,514 --> 00:03:34,583
Don't pray for any of 'em.
94
00:03:36,477 --> 00:03:37,614
[knock on door]
95
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:40,345
- Dr. Linkletter.
- Sheldon.
96
00:03:40,348 --> 00:03:42,266
How wonderfully early it is to see you.
97
00:03:42,268 --> 00:03:44,754
If you've come by for
a snack, I picked you up
98
00:03:44,756 --> 00:03:46,456
some crackers shaped like fish.
99
00:03:46,458 --> 00:03:47,971
I just wanted to let you know
100
00:03:47,974 --> 00:03:49,640
that I don't need you to babysit me.
101
00:03:49,643 --> 00:03:51,255
I'm perfectly self-reliant.
102
00:03:51,258 --> 00:03:53,919
Excellent. I'm not very
comfortable around children,
103
00:03:53,922 --> 00:03:55,622
even with your level of maturity.
104
00:03:55,625 --> 00:03:57,412
How old are you? Six? Seven?
105
00:03:57,415 --> 00:03:58,633
Eleven.
106
00:03:58,635 --> 00:04:00,052
I see.
107
00:04:00,055 --> 00:04:01,842
Then it's good I kept
the receipt for this
108
00:04:01,845 --> 00:04:04,767
bottle of bubbles shaped like a bear.
109
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:06,383
I should get going.
110
00:04:06,386 --> 00:04:08,907
My philosophy class
starts in a few minutes.
111
00:04:08,909 --> 00:04:12,180
Ah, yes, the great
thinkers. Socrates, Plato.
112
00:04:12,182 --> 00:04:16,154
Speaking of which, I
got you some Play-Doh.
113
00:04:21,275 --> 00:04:23,221
I figure you don't
want me to walk you in?
114
00:04:23,223 --> 00:04:24,793
I've trained you well.
115
00:04:24,795 --> 00:04:27,630
Do you have everything
you need? Lunch money?
116
00:04:27,632 --> 00:04:29,375
- Yep.
- Locker combination?
117
00:04:29,378 --> 00:04:30,785
Right here.
118
00:04:30,788 --> 00:04:33,794
- Why is it there?
- Writing on my hand is so fifth grade.
119
00:04:33,797 --> 00:04:35,616
Of course.
120
00:04:35,618 --> 00:04:37,798
Okay, I'm gonna go in.
121
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,373
I assume you don't want a hug?
122
00:04:40,375 --> 00:04:42,165
Make it quick.
123
00:04:43,954 --> 00:04:45,613
- That's enough.
- Okay.
124
00:04:47,271 --> 00:04:49,758
- Wish me luck.
- Good luck.
125
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:56,174
♪
126
00:05:04,815 --> 00:05:06,384
Hey.
127
00:05:06,386 --> 00:05:07,513
Hey, Brenda.
128
00:05:07,516 --> 00:05:09,047
She didn't want you to walk her in?
129
00:05:09,049 --> 00:05:10,793
No. How about Billy?
130
00:05:10,795 --> 00:05:11,927
Oh, I walked him in.
131
00:05:11,929 --> 00:05:13,106
Found his homeroom.
132
00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:14,808
Explained that "homeroom" is different
133
00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:16,554
than his room at home.
134
00:05:16,556 --> 00:05:18,168
Still not sure he gets it.
135
00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:20,291
- Tough day.
- Yeah.
136
00:05:20,294 --> 00:05:22,257
You want to get some coffee?
137
00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:25,576
I was thinking vodka,
but coffee will do.
138
00:05:28,402 --> 00:05:32,481
ADULT SHELDON: I've always considered
myself a collector of knowledge.
139
00:05:32,484 --> 00:05:35,379
My mind is like the
warehouse at the end of
140
00:05:35,382 --> 00:05:37,317
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
141
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,178
But instead of artifacts,
it's just facts. [chuckles]
142
00:05:41,181 --> 00:05:43,754
And now that I was a
full-time college student,
143
00:05:43,757 --> 00:05:46,536
my collection was about
to grow exponentially.
144
00:05:46,538 --> 00:05:48,825
ERICSON: Welcome to
the world of philosophy.
145
00:05:48,828 --> 00:05:52,387
Most college courses are
about teaching you things
146
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:54,523
that you don't know. Here,
147
00:05:54,525 --> 00:05:57,884
I am going to teach you
that you don't even know
148
00:05:57,886 --> 00:06:00,153
what you think you know.
149
00:06:00,155 --> 00:06:01,188
Oh, boy.
150
00:06:06,419 --> 00:06:08,539
The Chinese philosopher
Chuang Tzu believed
151
00:06:08,541 --> 00:06:11,368
it was possible he didn't
really know anything
152
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:13,051
because he might just be a butterfly
153
00:06:13,054 --> 00:06:16,807
dreaming that he was a philosopher.
154
00:06:16,809 --> 00:06:18,394
- Yes.
- He wasn't a butterfly.
155
00:06:18,397 --> 00:06:20,186
Well, how do you know?
156
00:06:20,189 --> 00:06:22,269
The butterfly brain doesn't
contain enough neurons
157
00:06:22,272 --> 00:06:24,595
to generate a complex dream.
Plus, you referred to him
158
00:06:24,597 --> 00:06:26,205
as Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu,
159
00:06:26,208 --> 00:06:28,400
and not Chinese butterfly Chuang Tzu.
160
00:06:28,403 --> 00:06:31,603
- You must be Sheldon Cooper.
- Yes, ma'am.
161
00:06:31,606 --> 00:06:34,368
Very well, Mr. Cooper, how do you know
162
00:06:34,371 --> 00:06:36,919
you're not just dreaming
butterflies can't dream?
163
00:06:36,921 --> 00:06:38,137
Because I'm awake.
164
00:06:38,139 --> 00:06:39,921
Or are you dreaming you're awake?
165
00:06:39,923 --> 00:06:42,837
You can see I'm awake and
you can hear me talking.
166
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,073
Yeah... I don't know.
167
00:06:45,076 --> 00:06:48,721
I saw some pretty trippy stuff
at a Grateful Dead concert.
168
00:06:48,724 --> 00:06:51,234
The drummer turned into
a tap-dancing walrus
169
00:06:51,237 --> 00:06:52,758
and floated away.
170
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,284
So we can't really
trust our senses, can we?
171
00:06:56,286 --> 00:06:57,545
We can validate them by
172
00:06:57,547 --> 00:06:59,575
comparing them with other observers.
173
00:06:59,578 --> 00:07:01,288
Mm, but that would mean
174
00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:03,238
we have to hear what they say,
175
00:07:03,241 --> 00:07:07,336
which requires... trusting our senses.
176
00:07:07,338 --> 00:07:10,295
Do you see a problem with
your argument, Mr. Cooper?
177
00:07:10,297 --> 00:07:12,210
I could concentrate
better if you weren't
178
00:07:12,212 --> 00:07:14,168
flashing your toes at me.
179
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:16,343
Billy's a sweet kid.
180
00:07:16,345 --> 00:07:19,912
But these middle schoolers
are gonna eat him alive.
181
00:07:19,914 --> 00:07:23,332
You don't know that.
Maybe they'll be nice.
182
00:07:23,335 --> 00:07:25,177
Boy, if we were in
middle school right now,
183
00:07:25,179 --> 00:07:27,527
I'd have your head in a toilet so fast.
184
00:07:27,529 --> 00:07:30,616
If you want, I can ask
Missy to hang out with him,
185
00:07:30,618 --> 00:07:32,314
make sure things go okay.
186
00:07:32,316 --> 00:07:34,577
- Absolutely not.
- Why?
187
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:37,111
That girl is cute and sassy,
188
00:07:37,114 --> 00:07:39,320
and has a real chance at being popular.
189
00:07:39,322 --> 00:07:42,409
Do not take that from her. Or me.
190
00:07:42,411 --> 00:07:45,150
Popularity isn't that important.
191
00:07:45,152 --> 00:07:47,501
It is the most important.
192
00:07:47,503 --> 00:07:50,083
Look at us. I'm miserable.
193
00:07:50,086 --> 00:07:52,635
You're always worried about something.
194
00:07:52,637 --> 00:07:56,290
I'd like one girl around here to win.
195
00:07:56,292 --> 00:07:59,119
I'm not always worried.
196
00:07:59,121 --> 00:08:01,354
It's Sheldon's first day of college,
197
00:08:01,357 --> 00:08:03,060
and you're not freaking out?
198
00:08:03,063 --> 00:08:04,905
- It's on my mind.
- Mm.
199
00:08:04,908 --> 00:08:07,995
But he's been looking forward
to this for a long time.
200
00:08:07,997 --> 00:08:10,130
I'm sure he's having a wonderful day.
201
00:08:10,133 --> 00:08:12,723
She displayed complete
contempt for science.
202
00:08:12,726 --> 00:08:14,550
She claimed that knowledge was a myth,
203
00:08:14,553 --> 00:08:16,786
and then she told the class
they could take their shoes off.
204
00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:18,353
Some of them did.
205
00:08:18,355 --> 00:08:20,354
Luckily we've established
you're a mature young man
206
00:08:20,356 --> 00:08:22,181
capable of figuring this out on his own,
207
00:08:22,183 --> 00:08:24,183
so, go get 'em, sport.
208
00:08:24,185 --> 00:08:26,414
But as a man of science,
aren't you offended by this?
209
00:08:26,417 --> 00:08:28,317
Sheldon, this is a college campus.
210
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,101
You come across all sorts.
211
00:08:30,103 --> 00:08:31,929
Anarchists, communists, vegans.
212
00:08:31,931 --> 00:08:34,088
There's a fella in the religion
department that believes God is
213
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:36,628
two women, and their
names are Wendy and Claire.
214
00:08:36,631 --> 00:08:38,979
But to say nobody
actually knows anything,
215
00:08:38,981 --> 00:08:41,328
how could she know that?
It's a contradiction.
216
00:08:41,330 --> 00:08:43,528
How about I blow some
bubbles out of a bear's head
217
00:08:43,531 --> 00:08:44,897
and we call it a day?
218
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:46,767
I don't know how I'm
going to last all semester
219
00:08:46,769 --> 00:08:48,421
with this freewheeling hippy.
220
00:08:48,423 --> 00:08:50,380
Sheldon, I don't know what to tell you.
221
00:08:50,382 --> 00:08:52,555
If you're that unhappy,
just drop the class.
222
00:08:52,557 --> 00:08:55,906
Of course. Drop the class.
223
00:08:55,908 --> 00:08:57,821
This is college. I can do that.
224
00:08:57,823 --> 00:08:59,598
- There you go.
- Thank you.
225
00:08:59,601 --> 00:09:01,644
You're welcome. From now on,
226
00:09:01,647 --> 00:09:03,956
I'm coming to you with all my problems.
227
00:09:03,958 --> 00:09:05,437
Oh...
228
00:09:10,574 --> 00:09:14,140
"The statement on the other
side of this sign is true."
229
00:09:15,049 --> 00:09:16,966
_
230
00:09:16,969 --> 00:09:18,011
Ugh.
231
00:09:18,013 --> 00:09:20,405
Professor Ericson?
232
00:09:20,407 --> 00:09:21,947
ERICSON: Come in.
233
00:09:23,849 --> 00:09:27,018
Mr. Cooper, welcome. How can I help you?
234
00:09:27,021 --> 00:09:28,657
I would like to drop your class.
235
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:30,630
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
236
00:09:30,632 --> 00:09:33,372
I enjoyed our discussion
about skepticism.
237
00:09:33,374 --> 00:09:34,632
And butterflies.
238
00:09:34,635 --> 00:09:36,287
I'm a scientist, and I don't find
239
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:38,289
those types of questions worth my time.
240
00:09:38,291 --> 00:09:40,639
And butterflies are just
worms that can chase you.
241
00:09:40,641 --> 00:09:43,425
[laughs softly]
The questions of philosophy
242
00:09:43,428 --> 00:09:45,295
are extremely challenging.
243
00:09:45,297 --> 00:09:47,428
People have spent 2,000-plus years
244
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:49,560
trying to solve them without success.
245
00:09:49,562 --> 00:09:53,998
So if you feel like giving
up, I don't blame you.
246
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,522
I'm not giving up.
247
00:09:55,524 --> 00:09:57,305
I'm saying they're not important.
248
00:09:57,307 --> 00:10:00,308
Okay, so what is important?
249
00:10:00,310 --> 00:10:02,441
The acquisition of factual knowledge.
250
00:10:02,443 --> 00:10:04,932
And how do you know if
something is factual?
251
00:10:04,935 --> 00:10:07,098
You test it and see if it holds true.
252
00:10:07,101 --> 00:10:09,575
And how do you know that that's factual?
253
00:10:09,578 --> 00:10:12,579
[strains]: You're doing it again.
254
00:10:12,581 --> 00:10:14,929
Maybe you're dreaming I'm doing it.
255
00:10:14,931 --> 00:10:16,321
How was your first day?
256
00:10:16,323 --> 00:10:18,454
Infuriating.
257
00:10:18,456 --> 00:10:20,020
How was your first day?
258
00:10:20,022 --> 00:10:21,457
So good.
259
00:10:21,459 --> 00:10:22,850
How was your first day?
260
00:10:27,166 --> 00:10:30,862
And then she said, "Maybe
you're just dreaming."
261
00:10:30,865 --> 00:10:33,335
- Are you gonna drop the class?
- Yes,
262
00:10:33,338 --> 00:10:35,381
but only after I systematically destroy
263
00:10:35,383 --> 00:10:38,471
her half-baked arguments
in front of everybody else.
264
00:10:38,473 --> 00:10:40,466
It's good to have goals.
265
00:10:40,469 --> 00:10:42,376
And at lunch, an eighth-grade boy said,
266
00:10:42,379 --> 00:10:45,085
and I quote, "I like Funyuns, too."
267
00:10:45,087 --> 00:10:46,478
Wow.
268
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,697
I know.
269
00:10:50,901 --> 00:10:52,831
I stopped at the library
today and picked up
270
00:10:52,833 --> 00:10:55,632
books on epistemology,
Descartes's dream argument
271
00:10:55,635 --> 00:10:58,270
and the foundations of scientific logic.
272
00:10:58,272 --> 00:10:59,837
Do you know what she's going to do?
273
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:01,196
Rue the day?
274
00:11:01,199 --> 00:11:02,838
The day, the night. If it's rue-able,
275
00:11:02,841 --> 00:11:04,782
she's going to rue it.
276
00:11:04,785 --> 00:11:06,711
And in math class, I sit right between
277
00:11:06,714 --> 00:11:08,147
Heather M. and Heather B.
278
00:11:08,149 --> 00:11:10,063
It's nice you're with your friends.
279
00:11:10,066 --> 00:11:12,542
It's more than nice.
All notes go through me.
280
00:11:12,545 --> 00:11:14,501
That's power.
281
00:11:14,503 --> 00:11:17,242
♪ She's my cherry pie ♪
282
00:11:17,244 --> 00:11:20,068
♪ Cool drink of water,
such a sweet surprise ♪
283
00:11:20,071 --> 00:11:22,865
♪ Tastes so good, make a grown man cry ♪
284
00:11:22,868 --> 00:11:26,381
♪ Sweet cherry pie, yeah. ♪
285
00:11:30,603 --> 00:11:32,107
ADULT SHELDON: The good
name of Lady Science
286
00:11:32,109 --> 00:11:35,764
had been besmirched and it was
up to me to defend her honor.
287
00:11:35,766 --> 00:11:38,439
I had a lot of ground
to cover in one night.
288
00:11:38,442 --> 00:11:41,468
Thankfully, 11 years of my
family's incessant yammering
289
00:11:41,470 --> 00:11:44,472
had given me an extraordinary
ability to focus.
290
00:11:44,474 --> 00:11:46,474
But I want to watch Fresh Prince.
291
00:11:46,476 --> 00:11:48,015
Too bad. The game is on.
292
00:11:48,018 --> 00:11:50,043
There's always a game on. Dad?
293
00:11:50,045 --> 00:11:51,586
Sorry, kid, it's the Cowboys.
294
00:11:51,589 --> 00:11:52,960
But it's the season premiere.
295
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:54,398
Fresh Prince's family gets tickets
296
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,014
to the People's Choice Awards.
297
00:11:56,024 --> 00:11:57,127
I'm not missing it.
298
00:11:57,130 --> 00:11:58,751
"Present investigations aim to establish
299
00:11:58,753 --> 00:12:00,449
a constructional system.
300
00:12:00,451 --> 00:12:03,366
That is, an epistemic,
logical system of objects..."
301
00:12:03,368 --> 00:12:05,325
My show's only 30 minutes.
302
00:12:05,327 --> 00:12:07,099
Yours is three hours.
303
00:12:07,102 --> 00:12:08,416
But yours don't have them cheerleaders
304
00:12:08,418 --> 00:12:10,264
- jumping up and down.
- Mom?
305
00:12:10,267 --> 00:12:13,813
What if we don't turn the TV on
at all and we play a board game?
306
00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:14,859
- Come on.
- Seriously?
307
00:12:14,861 --> 00:12:15,889
SHELDON: "So that a genealogy
308
00:12:15,891 --> 00:12:17,485
of concepts results, in which each one
309
00:12:17,488 --> 00:12:18,792
has its definite place."
310
00:12:18,795 --> 00:12:20,186
MARY: Shelly, it's your turn.
311
00:12:20,189 --> 00:12:21,737
Shelly?
312
00:12:21,739 --> 00:12:23,479
What's happening?
313
00:12:23,481 --> 00:12:25,253
We're playing a board game.
314
00:12:25,256 --> 00:12:26,353
Before dinner?
315
00:12:26,355 --> 00:12:28,398
You ate dinner.
316
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,444
[doorbell rings]
317
00:12:29,446 --> 00:12:30,706
Did I like it?
318
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,447
You said the meat loaf was dry.
319
00:12:32,449 --> 00:12:33,842
That sounds right.
320
00:12:37,176 --> 00:12:40,352
- Hi, Brenda.
- I just wanted to see how today went.
321
00:12:40,355 --> 00:12:42,352
Oh. [clears throat]
322
00:12:44,726 --> 00:12:46,549
[groans] Not great.
323
00:12:46,552 --> 00:12:48,467
Sheldon is already in some sort of fight
324
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:50,471
with his philosophy professor.
325
00:12:50,473 --> 00:12:53,235
- About what?
- Currently, he's plotting
326
00:12:53,238 --> 00:12:55,478
"the destruction of her worldview,"
327
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,809
- whatever that means.
- Sounds exciting.
328
00:12:57,812 --> 00:13:00,745
It's mostly him reading a
book and giggling to himself.
329
00:13:00,747 --> 00:13:02,574
How about Billy?
330
00:13:02,576 --> 00:13:03,662
Not much better.
331
00:13:03,664 --> 00:13:05,203
- Oh.
- In Spanish class,
332
00:13:05,206 --> 00:13:07,927
every time the teacher said
"Sí,"Billy said, "See what?"
333
00:13:07,930 --> 00:13:09,670
Oh, Billy.
334
00:13:09,672 --> 00:13:12,885
I know, but if I don't
laugh about it I'll cry.
335
00:13:12,888 --> 00:13:14,143
I'm sorry.
336
00:13:14,146 --> 00:13:15,558
How did Missy do?
337
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:17,779
I think Missy had the
best day of her life.
338
00:13:17,782 --> 00:13:20,335
[exhales]: Oh, thank
God. Tell me everything.
339
00:13:20,338 --> 00:13:24,515
Well, in one class she
sits between her friends,
340
00:13:24,517 --> 00:13:26,381
so the note-passing goes through her.
341
00:13:26,384 --> 00:13:29,247
She's gonna get the dirt
firsthand. That's huge.
342
00:13:29,250 --> 00:13:31,872
And then an eighth-grade
boy talked to her at lunch.
343
00:13:31,875 --> 00:13:33,614
- On the first day?
- Uh-huh.
344
00:13:33,616 --> 00:13:35,545
She's gonna be prom
queen. I'm calling it.
345
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,264
- [laughs]
- That's fun,
346
00:13:37,267 --> 00:13:39,796
but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
347
00:13:39,798 --> 00:13:42,016
Mary, it'll be a miracle
348
00:13:42,018 --> 00:13:44,324
if Billy even makes it to high school.
349
00:13:44,326 --> 00:13:45,806
Don't take this away from me.
350
00:13:47,224 --> 00:13:49,660
Missy is gonna look
so cute in that tiara.
351
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:50,679
Yes, she is.
352
00:13:50,681 --> 00:13:52,465
That's the Fresh Prince.
353
00:13:52,467 --> 00:13:54,076
He's from West Philadelphia.
354
00:13:54,078 --> 00:13:55,558
Born and raised.
355
00:13:57,517 --> 00:13:59,474
ADULT SHELDON: It was past my bedtime,
356
00:13:59,476 --> 00:14:01,477
but who could sleep with a page-turner
357
00:14:01,479 --> 00:14:04,698
like Meditations on First
Philosophy by René Descartes?
358
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:06,874
Descartes was more
than just a philosopher.
359
00:14:06,876 --> 00:14:08,877
He was also the mathematician
360
00:14:08,879 --> 00:14:11,141
who invented the Cartesian plane.
361
00:14:11,143 --> 00:14:13,013
If you've ever enjoyed that X squared
362
00:14:13,015 --> 00:14:15,233
plus Y squared equals K is a circle,
363
00:14:15,235 --> 00:14:17,827
you can say merci beaucoup
to Monsieur Descartes.
364
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:26,263
Hello?
365
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:28,032
Bonjour, Sheldon.
366
00:14:28,035 --> 00:14:29,712
Bonjour, René Descartes.
367
00:14:29,715 --> 00:14:31,457
Please, sit.
368
00:14:35,044 --> 00:14:38,612
I see you're reading a book
on philosophy by Aristotle.
369
00:14:38,614 --> 00:14:42,094
I am. And it is garbage!
370
00:14:42,096 --> 00:14:46,276
Aristotle is, how you say, a punk!
371
00:14:48,714 --> 00:14:52,194
I'm also having trouble
with my philosophy professor.
372
00:14:52,196 --> 00:14:54,674
She says that we don't
know if science is true.
373
00:14:54,677 --> 00:14:56,548
Mon dieu!
374
00:14:56,551 --> 00:14:59,246
Without science, we know nothing.
375
00:14:59,249 --> 00:15:02,644
No different than the dogs
and kitties in the street
376
00:15:02,646 --> 00:15:05,690
wandering around in a fog of ignorance
377
00:15:05,692 --> 00:15:07,748
with the woofings and the meowings.
378
00:15:07,751 --> 00:15:09,566
So how do I get her to
understand that science
379
00:15:09,568 --> 00:15:12,742
can form true beliefs about
reality as it really is?
380
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:14,873
Ah, young man.
381
00:15:14,876 --> 00:15:17,663
You are you asking
what is the foundation
382
00:15:17,665 --> 00:15:19,307
of knowledge, huh?
383
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:22,300
- Yes.
- Well, hold on to your chapeau.
384
00:15:22,303 --> 00:15:23,503
I'm not wearing a chapeau.
385
00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:25,370
It is just an expression.
386
00:15:25,373 --> 00:15:26,631
Sorry.
387
00:15:26,633 --> 00:15:28,633
All knowledge must rest
388
00:15:28,635 --> 00:15:33,642
on a foundation that we can
never doubt and that is...
389
00:15:34,643 --> 00:15:36,343
Of course.
390
00:15:36,346 --> 00:15:38,371
ERICSON: So we learned
that the theory of knowledge
391
00:15:38,374 --> 00:15:40,562
poses some very serious problems.
392
00:15:40,564 --> 00:15:42,913
Excuse me, Professor Ericson.
393
00:15:42,915 --> 00:15:46,439
I've done a little reading since
last we spoke, and I'm prepared
394
00:15:46,441 --> 00:15:49,618
to show you that everything
we know about science is true.
395
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:51,402
Well, I am all ears.
396
00:15:51,404 --> 00:15:54,496
You said I couldn't truly know anything,
397
00:15:54,499 --> 00:15:56,148
but there is one thing that I do know.
398
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:58,639
If I question, I must think;
399
00:15:58,642 --> 00:16:00,631
if I think, I must exist.
400
00:16:00,638 --> 00:16:06,414
Cogito, ergo sum: I
think, therefore I am.
401
00:16:08,558 --> 00:16:10,122
You're right.
402
00:16:10,124 --> 00:16:11,864
You're darn right I'm right.
403
00:16:11,866 --> 00:16:15,129
Guys, g-give it up for Sheldon.
404
00:16:15,131 --> 00:16:16,698
[applause]
405
00:16:17,918 --> 00:16:19,989
Now for a job well done...
406
00:16:21,447 --> 00:16:24,096
...here is a flower
full of sweet nectar.
407
00:16:24,099 --> 00:16:25,665
Why would I want that?
408
00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:28,320
Because you're a butterfly
and this is just your dream.
409
00:16:28,323 --> 00:16:30,117
I'm not a butterfly.
410
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,498
Are you sure? [laughs]
411
00:16:32,501 --> 00:16:33,851
[laughter echoing]
412
00:16:35,392 --> 00:16:36,722
[gasps]
413
00:16:36,724 --> 00:16:40,335
[sighs] It was a dream.
414
00:16:40,337 --> 00:16:41,555
Oh, no.
415
00:16:41,557 --> 00:16:44,124
[grunts] Help!
416
00:16:44,126 --> 00:16:45,598
I'm a butterfly!
417
00:16:45,601 --> 00:16:48,498
Nothing I know is real!
Everything is a dream!
418
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:50,155
Missy, help!
419
00:16:52,742 --> 00:16:54,830
No!
420
00:16:54,833 --> 00:16:56,357
[gasps]
421
00:16:57,953 --> 00:16:59,170
Missy,
422
00:16:59,173 --> 00:17:01,668
am I awake or is this a dream?
423
00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:03,178
Shut up, dingus.
424
00:17:03,180 --> 00:17:04,030
Okay, I'm awake.
425
00:17:08,717 --> 00:17:11,047
Shelly, you feeling all right?
426
00:17:11,050 --> 00:17:12,396
Yes.
427
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:13,928
How come you're not dressed?
428
00:17:13,931 --> 00:17:15,278
Why should I?
429
00:17:15,281 --> 00:17:17,864
'Cause you're gonna be late for school.
430
00:17:17,867 --> 00:17:20,691
- I'm not going to school.
- Why not?
431
00:17:20,694 --> 00:17:22,455
Because I don't know what's real.
432
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:23,767
What does that mean?
433
00:17:23,770 --> 00:17:25,399
Dreaming and waking,
434
00:17:25,402 --> 00:17:29,097
life and death,
philosophers and butterflies,
435
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:31,752
they're all the same.
436
00:17:31,755 --> 00:17:34,189
Nothing matters.
437
00:17:34,192 --> 00:17:37,801
That's an interesting
way of looking at things.
438
00:17:37,804 --> 00:17:39,761
George?
439
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:50,317
