00:00:02,045 --> 00:00:03,755
[Mary] Previously on
Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:04,130 --> 00:00:06,341
Billy! Mr. Cooper's here!
3
00:00:08,051 --> 00:00:09,051
How you doing?
4
00:00:09,427 --> 00:00:11,429
Do not look under that rock.
5
00:00:13,139 --> 00:00:14,516
But I appreciate you asking.
6
00:00:15,183 --> 00:00:18,728
Hey, you got rejected,
but was it the end of the world?
7
00:00:19,229 --> 00:00:20,230
No.
8
00:00:20,355 --> 00:00:22,524
And that is
extremely valuable information.
9
00:00:23,274 --> 00:00:25,360
And honestly,
you dodged a bullet with Missy.
10
00:00:26,444 --> 00:00:27,820
The girl is mean.
11
00:00:28,738 --> 00:00:29,781
Thanks.
12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,248
- [people clapping]
- [woman] Come on, Missy!
13
00:00:38,957 --> 00:00:40,291
- Hey.
- Hey.
14
00:00:40,375 --> 00:00:43,127
Came to see your man
be a leader of little people, huh?
15
00:00:43,378 --> 00:00:45,797
I came to see my granddaughter pitch.
16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,549
Under my leadership.
17
00:00:47,632 --> 00:00:49,193
All right, Cooper,
let's see what you got.
18
00:00:49,217 --> 00:00:50,497
- Come on, girl.
- Come on, baby.
19
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:55,848
God, shake it off. You got this.
20
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:58,476
[scattered applause]
21
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:00,895
[all groaning]
22
00:01:00,979 --> 00:01:02,689
What the hell was that?
23
00:01:02,772 --> 00:01:04,315
Well, there's some leadership.
24
00:01:04,399 --> 00:01:05,483
[exhales]
25
00:01:07,277 --> 00:01:08,528
[all groaning]
26
00:01:08,611 --> 00:01:09,611
[Dale] Time.
27
00:01:09,779 --> 00:01:10,613
Cooper.
28
00:01:10,697 --> 00:01:11,823
[grunts]
29
00:01:12,282 --> 00:01:13,282
Cooper?
30
00:01:13,491 --> 00:01:14,909
What is the problem?
31
00:01:14,993 --> 00:01:16,911
The ball isn't going
where it's supposed to.
32
00:01:16,995 --> 00:01:18,079
I saw that.
33
00:01:18,454 --> 00:01:19,664
What am I doing wrong?
34
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:22,709
Just a little case of the yips.
It happens.
35
00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:23,668
What's that?
36
00:01:23,751 --> 00:01:27,213
The yips. You know, it's when you're
thinking about stuff in your head,
37
00:01:27,297 --> 00:01:29,132
and something
you've done a million times,
38
00:01:29,215 --> 00:01:30,258
you can't do it anymore.
39
00:01:30,341 --> 00:01:31,676
Even the pros get it.
40
00:01:32,594 --> 00:01:34,053
How do I get rid of it?
41
00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:36,264
Oh, just don't think about it.
42
00:01:37,056 --> 00:01:38,057
Okay.
43
00:01:39,058 --> 00:01:40,143
[Missy exhales]
44
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:42,145
[woman] Come on, girl.
45
00:01:43,605 --> 00:01:45,940
Don't think, just throw.
46
00:01:46,024 --> 00:01:47,191
[woman] Come on, Missy!
47
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,987
[crowd exclaims]
48
00:01:51,321 --> 00:01:52,989
I hate the little people.
49
00:01:54,198 --> 00:01:56,200
[theme song playing]
50
00:02:13,635 --> 00:02:15,219
[scraping]
51
00:02:16,054 --> 00:02:17,722
[car engine stalling]
52
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:21,351
[Brenda] Damn it!
53
00:02:22,226 --> 00:02:23,227
Brenda?
54
00:02:23,645 --> 00:02:24,646
[Brenda] What?
55
00:02:24,771 --> 00:02:26,189
Everything okay over there?
56
00:02:26,814 --> 00:02:27,814
Oh, yeah.
57
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:29,817
Okay.
58
00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:31,337
[car engine continues stalling]
59
00:02:31,361 --> 00:02:32,361
[Brenda] Damn it!
60
00:02:33,363 --> 00:02:34,739
Okay. Give her a go.
61
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:37,158
[car engine starting]
62
00:02:38,242 --> 00:02:39,619
You're a lifesaver.
63
00:02:40,912 --> 00:02:42,038
It's a gift.
64
00:02:42,914 --> 00:02:45,124
Can I offer you a beer
and some thank-you cobbler?
65
00:02:45,792 --> 00:02:47,168
Weren't you on your way somewhere?
66
00:02:47,585 --> 00:02:48,586
Weight Watchers.
67
00:02:48,670 --> 00:02:50,046
[laughs]
68
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,508
- What do you say?
- Sure.
69
00:02:55,718 --> 00:02:57,679
Do guys ever go to those
Weight Watchers meetings?
70
00:02:58,096 --> 00:03:00,098
Yeah, but they're all fat.
71
00:03:00,181 --> 00:03:01,808
[George laughs]
72
00:03:02,058 --> 00:03:04,769
[adult Sheldon]
Of all the tests one takes in school,
73
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:07,105
my favorite was the midterm.
74
00:03:07,188 --> 00:03:10,942
Finals weren't bad, but they also meant
summer was approaching.
75
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:12,527
I don't believe in religion,
76
00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:16,656
but sunshine, picnics, and pool parties
are proof hell exists.
77
00:03:16,739 --> 00:03:17,949
[thud]
78
00:03:21,661 --> 00:03:22,745
[thud]
79
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:28,292
[gasps]
80
00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:30,044
Why are you trying to hit me?
81
00:03:30,294 --> 00:03:31,671
I'm trying to hit the target.
82
00:03:31,921 --> 00:03:32,921
It's over there.
83
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:34,257
I know, dingus.
84
00:03:35,967 --> 00:03:37,301
[clatters]
85
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:39,971
- I thought you were good at this.
- I was.
86
00:03:40,304 --> 00:03:42,515
Coach Dale says I have the yips.
87
00:03:43,015 --> 00:03:44,308
It's not contagious, is it?
88
00:03:45,017 --> 00:03:46,811
No, it happens in sports.
89
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:49,063
Suddenly, you can't do a thing
that used to be easy.
90
00:03:49,731 --> 00:03:50,773
It doesn't sound real.
91
00:03:51,107 --> 00:03:52,692
Then why can't I pitch anymore?
92
00:03:52,817 --> 00:03:54,736
Ooh. Perhaps it's the onset of puberty
93
00:03:54,819 --> 00:03:56,904
and the hysterical mood swings
that go with it.
94
00:03:56,988 --> 00:03:58,614
Dingus, house.
95
00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:00,324
You're only proving my point.
96
00:04:03,411 --> 00:04:04,704
[thud]
97
00:04:05,496 --> 00:04:06,831
Billy won an award?
98
00:04:07,623 --> 00:04:08,624
Participation.
99
00:04:09,167 --> 00:04:10,209
Big whoop.
100
00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:11,502
I guess it's something.
101
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:13,421
Well, he ain't the sharpest
pencil in the box,
102
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:15,089
but he's the sweetest kid I know.
103
00:04:15,381 --> 00:04:17,508
Well, Sheldon is the sharpest pencil.
104
00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:21,345
Sometimes I'd just like
to shove his head in that box.
105
00:04:21,429 --> 00:04:22,429
[scoffs]
106
00:04:22,889 --> 00:04:24,974
- Where's your trash?
- Everywhere.
107
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:27,310
- But the basket's under the sink.
- Hmm.
108
00:04:31,606 --> 00:04:32,982
Do you know your faucet's leaking?
109
00:04:33,065 --> 00:04:35,359
Yeah, this whole place is falling apart.
110
00:04:35,735 --> 00:04:38,696
Yeah, I'll come over another time,
take care of it.
111
00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:40,448
You know, you don't have to do that.
112
00:04:40,907 --> 00:04:41,907
One more?
113
00:04:43,201 --> 00:04:44,452
I should get going.
114
00:04:45,703 --> 00:04:46,788
Well, thanks again.
115
00:04:49,874 --> 00:04:50,874
Want to buy a house?
116
00:04:54,086 --> 00:04:55,421
Hey, where you been?
117
00:04:56,589 --> 00:04:59,258
Brenda was having car trouble,
just giving her a hand.
118
00:04:59,342 --> 00:05:02,178
That's nice.
I'm sure it's hard being by herself.
119
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:04,680
Yeah, that whole house
is in need of repair.
120
00:05:05,014 --> 00:05:06,724
I hope you offered to help her out.
121
00:05:06,808 --> 00:05:08,684
I did. She said no.
122
00:05:08,768 --> 00:05:12,605
Well, that's just her being proud.
Of course she wants your help.
123
00:05:15,274 --> 00:05:16,859
I guess sometime I'll pop over.
124
00:05:16,943 --> 00:05:18,069
Good.
125
00:05:19,195 --> 00:05:22,657
And when you go, hitch up your pants.
There's a lot going on when you squat.
126
00:05:24,075 --> 00:05:26,786
All right, you have 45 minutes
to complete the test.
127
00:05:26,869 --> 00:05:28,329
Eyes on your own paper and...
128
00:05:28,412 --> 00:05:31,165
Yes, Sheldon, if you finish early,
you can take it again.
129
00:05:31,833 --> 00:05:34,001
And begin.
130
00:05:34,252 --> 00:05:35,127
[adult Sheldon] And I was off.
131
00:05:35,211 --> 00:05:37,004
I flew through wave functions.
132
00:05:37,088 --> 00:05:39,006
I dominated harmonic oscillators.
133
00:05:39,090 --> 00:05:41,175
The only challenging part of this exam
134
00:05:41,259 --> 00:05:43,511
was trying to balance
the desire to finish quickly
135
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:46,639
with the urge to stop and smell
my freshly sharpened pencil.
136
00:05:46,722 --> 00:05:47,557
[sniffs]
137
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,640
[adult Sheldon] Mmm.
138
00:05:48,683 --> 00:05:50,226
I was in the zone.
139
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:51,978
Only one question left.
140
00:05:52,061 --> 00:05:55,147
All I needed to do was solve
Schrodinger's equation
141
00:05:55,231 --> 00:05:57,692
in a cylindrical well
by employing the zeroes
142
00:05:57,775 --> 00:06:00,111
of the Bessel function,
which, of course, were...
143
00:06:01,571 --> 00:06:02,989
Wait. What are they?
144
00:06:03,489 --> 00:06:05,241
[adult Sheldon] Come on. You know this.
145
00:06:05,324 --> 00:06:06,868
You've done it a million times.
146
00:06:08,786 --> 00:06:09,787
Oh, dear.
147
00:06:18,713 --> 00:06:21,007
All right, Sheldon,
time to turn in your test.
148
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:22,300
I'm not done yet.
149
00:06:23,634 --> 00:06:26,512
I know you like to add your own
"better" questions at the end,
150
00:06:26,596 --> 00:06:28,306
but for the last time,
I don't count them.
151
00:06:28,890 --> 00:06:30,808
I just need a few more minutes
on this problem.
152
00:06:30,892 --> 00:06:32,184
That's an easy one.
153
00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:34,028
Just apply the zeroes
of the Bessel function.
154
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,479
I know what I have to do.
155
00:06:35,563 --> 00:06:36,856
Is this a tantrum?
156
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:38,858
I've heard children your age
like to throw them.
157
00:06:39,358 --> 00:06:42,486
I can't remember what the zeroes
of the Bessel function are.
158
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:43,738
You didn't memorize them?
159
00:06:43,821 --> 00:06:45,865
Of course I did. October 7th, 1988.
160
00:06:45,948 --> 00:06:47,575
I just had a bowl of Teddy Grahams.
161
00:06:47,658 --> 00:06:48,951
Then what's the problem?
162
00:06:49,911 --> 00:06:52,496
I'm blanking... but I'll get it.
163
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:53,664
Sorry, son, class is over.
164
00:06:53,748 --> 00:06:54,874
No, I can do this.
165
00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:57,251
It's just one question.
You'll still pass.
166
00:06:57,335 --> 00:06:59,503
Sheldon Cooper doesn't just pass.
167
00:07:00,171 --> 00:07:02,256
I have an idea. Let me see the test.
168
00:07:03,466 --> 00:07:04,466
Thank you.
169
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,094
Sheldon Cooper
isn't always that gullible.
170
00:07:07,178 --> 00:07:08,387
He was today.
171
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:14,268
All right.
172
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,020
- Almost there.
- [object clatters]
173
00:07:16,604 --> 00:07:18,022
Hand me a screwdriver.
174
00:07:18,606 --> 00:07:20,942
Don't stick this in an outlet,
it really tingles.
175
00:07:21,943 --> 00:07:24,070
- We had an incident.
- [George] Yeah.
176
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,823
You know what? Why don't you fix it?
177
00:07:27,907 --> 00:07:28,908
- Really?
- Really?
178
00:07:28,991 --> 00:07:30,618
Yeah. You see that little screw there?
179
00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:32,495
Just go ahead and tighten her up.
180
00:07:32,995 --> 00:07:34,580
- Like this?
- Yeah.
181
00:07:35,581 --> 00:07:36,581
[Billy] What now?
182
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:38,626
Run outside and turn the water back on.
183
00:07:38,709 --> 00:07:41,003
Here, I'm not allowed to run with this.
184
00:07:42,004 --> 00:07:43,673
We've had a lot of incidents.
185
00:07:45,383 --> 00:07:47,176
Who knew you were so handy?
186
00:07:47,259 --> 00:07:49,428
Yeah. There's just things
guys need to be good at.
187
00:07:49,512 --> 00:07:51,097
What else are you good at?
188
00:07:52,473 --> 00:07:54,266
[faucet sputters]
189
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:55,559
I should go.
190
00:07:59,563 --> 00:08:00,564
[door closes]
191
00:08:01,607 --> 00:08:02,650
Hey, pretty lady.
192
00:08:03,234 --> 00:08:05,069
- Are you drinking already?
- [chuckles] No.
193
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:07,738
Can't a guy give his wife a compliment?
194
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:09,281
Do I have to smell your breath?
195
00:08:09,365 --> 00:08:11,117
How about a kiss instead?
196
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,660
What is with you?
197
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:15,287
I don't know. Kids aren't home.
198
00:08:16,706 --> 00:08:18,791
Now? I'm doing laundry.
199
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:20,334
Laundry can wait.
200
00:08:20,418 --> 00:08:21,585
So can your thing.
201
00:08:21,794 --> 00:08:23,671
I'd like to think of it as our thing,
202
00:08:23,796 --> 00:08:26,465
but if you only have time
for my thing, that's fine, too.
203
00:08:26,549 --> 00:08:27,883
You're being weird.
204
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:30,094
Weird-sexy?
205
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:31,095
No.
206
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:32,388
Headed to the bedroom?
207
00:08:32,471 --> 00:08:33,471
No.
208
00:08:33,889 --> 00:08:34,974
Just checking.
209
00:08:36,809 --> 00:08:38,144
[exhales deeply]
210
00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:39,937
[Sheldon] Missy.
211
00:08:40,563 --> 00:08:41,897
You gave me your yips.
212
00:08:41,981 --> 00:08:42,981
What?
213
00:08:43,024 --> 00:08:45,151
I froze on a test.
That's never happened before.
214
00:08:45,234 --> 00:08:46,235
It's all your fault.
215
00:08:46,318 --> 00:08:47,903
I told you, it's not contagious.
216
00:08:47,987 --> 00:08:50,823
You put the thought in my head.
The power of suggestion is very real.
217
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:52,950
Case in point, Tulip Mania.
218
00:08:53,034 --> 00:08:54,243
Here we go.
219
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:56,037
Tulip Mania was an insane desire
220
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,164
to buy and trade
tulip bulbs in the1600s.
221
00:08:58,247 --> 00:08:59,707
It nearly ruined the Dutch economy.
222
00:08:59,790 --> 00:09:01,959
You would not believe
the guilders they were spending.
223
00:09:02,043 --> 00:09:03,878
How can you remember
this stupid information,
224
00:09:03,961 --> 00:09:05,254
but not the stuff on your test?
225
00:09:05,337 --> 00:09:06,756
You tell me. They're your yips.
226
00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:09,759
Sheldon, if I knew how to make it stop,
I would tell you.
227
00:09:09,842 --> 00:09:10,926
You better.
228
00:09:12,053 --> 00:09:14,513
Maybe it's puberty
making you all emotional.
229
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:16,599
I checked my armpits.
Smooth as balloons.
230
00:09:16,682 --> 00:09:18,017
Ugh.
231
00:09:19,685 --> 00:09:21,520
- Hey.
- [Sheldon grunts softly]
232
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,106
What's your problem?
233
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:26,400
- I don't want to talk about it.
- Great.
234
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:28,277
I had a mental block on a test,
235
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,488
and it was something
that I absolutely know how to do.
236
00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:33,074
You know, that sort of thing
happens in sports, too.
237
00:09:33,157 --> 00:09:34,366
I know, it's called the yips,
238
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:36,952
and it's a very silly name
for a very serious problem.
239
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:40,206
Well, the best thing to do
is get out of your head.
240
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:42,291
How do I do that?
241
00:09:42,374 --> 00:09:43,834
You just turn your brain off.
242
00:09:44,877 --> 00:09:46,420
It's like I'm not even your son.
243
00:09:47,088 --> 00:09:49,965
Look, I know you don't
respect what I do as a coach...
244
00:09:50,049 --> 00:09:51,425
Maybe you do know me.
245
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:52,468
[exhales]
246
00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:54,311
...but this is a thing
I actually know about.
247
00:09:54,637 --> 00:09:56,263
I've seen it happen to my players,
248
00:09:56,347 --> 00:09:59,225
I've seen it happen to pros
in golf, in baseball.
249
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,227
The answer's always the same.
250
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:03,771
Stop thinking
and get out of your own way.
251
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:06,023
I don't know how to do that.
252
00:10:07,149 --> 00:10:09,443
Have you ever heard
the Nike slogan, "Just do it"?
253
00:10:09,944 --> 00:10:12,947
I'm familiar with the phrase
"Let's do it" uttered by Gary Gilmore,
254
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:15,991
the last person to be executed
by firing squad in America.
255
00:10:17,701 --> 00:10:22,373
Okay, well, it's a shoe slogan,
and it's good advice.
256
00:10:22,498 --> 00:10:24,291
The answer's already in your head.
257
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,670
Don't think so hard. Just do it.
258
00:10:29,672 --> 00:10:30,672
I'll try.
259
00:10:31,382 --> 00:10:32,383
Good man.
260
00:10:32,967 --> 00:10:35,469
Another fun footwear slogan
is, "I'm Buster Brown.
261
00:10:35,553 --> 00:10:38,889
I live in a shoe. That's my dog Tige.
Look for him there, too."
262
00:10:39,014 --> 00:10:40,933
Hmm. I think mine's more helpful.
263
00:10:41,016 --> 00:10:42,518
Well, mine rhymes, so...
264
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:48,440
[adult Sheldon] I decided
to heed my father's advice.
265
00:10:48,524 --> 00:10:51,068
I wasn't sure how to turn off my brain.
266
00:10:51,152 --> 00:10:53,529
Thankfully, I lived with an expert.
267
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,280
What's up?
268
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:57,700
I've never really thought
about not thinking before.
269
00:10:57,783 --> 00:10:59,451
Well, I'm asking you to think about it.
270
00:10:59,910 --> 00:11:01,871
But I thought
you were interested in not thinking.
271
00:11:01,954 --> 00:11:03,714
I am. I want you to think
about not thinking,
272
00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:04,987
and then teach me how to do it.
273
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,916
Do what?
274
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,084
Not think.
275
00:11:07,877 --> 00:11:08,878
All right.
276
00:11:12,047 --> 00:11:13,132
This is tough.
277
00:11:13,883 --> 00:11:16,218
I'm good at not thinking,
but I don't think I can teach you
278
00:11:16,302 --> 00:11:17,720
how to not think without thinking.
279
00:11:18,637 --> 00:11:20,097
Well, thank you for trying.
280
00:11:20,181 --> 00:11:23,225
Hold on. What if you're thinking
about something else instead?
281
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:25,186
Would that count as thinking,
or not thinking?
282
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:29,190
I suppose it's similar to the mantras
extolled by the sages of the East.
283
00:11:29,273 --> 00:11:32,067
It's a practice
that Swami Vivekananda called japa yoga,
284
00:11:32,151 --> 00:11:35,654
and it's intended to bring out
a single-pointedness of concentration.
285
00:11:38,073 --> 00:11:39,158
Sorry, I zoned out.
286
00:11:39,241 --> 00:11:40,534
Ooh, tell me how.
287
00:11:40,618 --> 00:11:42,369
Let's see, you were blabbering,
288
00:11:42,453 --> 00:11:45,164
it all started to blur together,
and I was gone.
289
00:11:45,247 --> 00:11:47,124
At what point did it start to happen?
290
00:11:47,666 --> 00:11:48,792
I don't know, say it again.
291
00:11:48,876 --> 00:11:51,003
I said, I suppose
it's similar to the mantras
292
00:11:51,086 --> 00:11:52,922
extolled by the sages of the East.
293
00:11:53,005 --> 00:11:56,133
It's a practice that Swami Vivekananda
called japa yoga... [echoes]
294
00:11:56,342 --> 00:11:59,136
- [voice slows down]
- [Indian traditional music playing]
295
00:12:05,517 --> 00:12:07,186
That is wild.
296
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:14,610
[adult Sheldon] The next day,
297
00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:19,156
armed with the sage advice of my father,
my brother, and an executed murderer,
298
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,560
I was allowed to retake the test.
299
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:24,078
You have 45 minutes starting now.
300
00:12:25,496 --> 00:12:26,705
[Sheldon] Okay, just do it.
301
00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:27,915
Just do it.
302
00:12:27,998 --> 00:12:29,875
Just turn your brain off and do it.
303
00:12:30,709 --> 00:12:32,378
Is it off? Am I doing it?
304
00:12:32,461 --> 00:12:34,922
Wait, if I'm thinking it's off,
then it must still be on.
305
00:12:35,005 --> 00:12:36,131
I'm trying too hard.
306
00:12:36,215 --> 00:12:37,967
Don't overthink. Just do it.
307
00:12:38,384 --> 00:12:40,261
Just do it. Just...
308
00:12:40,344 --> 00:12:41,637
Time's up.
309
00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:44,598
But I didn't do it.
310
00:12:44,682 --> 00:12:46,725
Waste my morning? You did it.
311
00:12:47,726 --> 00:12:49,728
That toilet won't stop running.
312
00:12:49,812 --> 00:12:51,063
You tried jiggling the handle?
313
00:12:51,146 --> 00:12:52,690
I jiggled it, wiggled it,
314
00:12:52,773 --> 00:12:54,275
damn-near had a baby with it.
315
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:56,257
[chuckles] Yeah, let me take a look.
316
00:12:56,318 --> 00:12:58,599
I was fixing to put some dinner on
if you care to join me.
317
00:13:00,322 --> 00:13:01,448
I don't wanna put you out.
318
00:13:01,532 --> 00:13:03,158
It's just frozen lasagna.
319
00:13:03,242 --> 00:13:07,246
But I'm going oven instead of microwave,
because you're company.
320
00:13:08,497 --> 00:13:09,540
What are you doing?
321
00:13:09,873 --> 00:13:10,873
What do you mean?
322
00:13:11,709 --> 00:13:12,876
You know what I mean.
323
00:13:14,712 --> 00:13:17,673
I was just trying to thank you.
324
00:13:17,756 --> 00:13:20,276
And you're the one who offered
to come over here and fix things.
325
00:13:20,342 --> 00:13:21,552
I was being nice.
326
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:22,636
So was I.
327
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,305
Maybe a little too nice.
328
00:13:24,722 --> 00:13:26,265
There is no pleasing you.
329
00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:28,508
I don't need this here.
I can get fighting at my house.
330
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,352
Then maybe you should
go back to your house.
331
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,522
[Billy] Mom,
can you help with my homework?
332
00:13:33,605 --> 00:13:34,898
There in a sec.
333
00:13:36,442 --> 00:13:37,609
You leaving?
334
00:13:37,943 --> 00:13:39,503
- Are you going to fix the toilet?
- No.
335
00:13:39,528 --> 00:13:41,322
- Then I guess I'm not leaving.
- Thank you.
336
00:13:41,405 --> 00:13:43,365
- Lasagna?
- Small piece. Mary's making tacos.
337
00:13:43,449 --> 00:13:44,449
Okay.
338
00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:47,286
[adult Sheldon] Trying to
outsmart my own thought patterns
339
00:13:47,369 --> 00:13:48,912
proved to be challenging.
340
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:50,748
It's understandable.
341
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:53,792
As smart as I was,
I was also that smart.
342
00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:57,755
I wondered if I could invent
a mind control device,
343
00:13:57,838 --> 00:14:01,342
but that sounded a little too
"mwahahaha" even for me.
344
00:14:01,425 --> 00:14:04,178
It turned out,
the device I was looking for
345
00:14:04,261 --> 00:14:06,555
had been in my presence the entire time.
346
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:07,723
Television.
347
00:14:07,806 --> 00:14:11,518
It had been tranquilizing the minds
of America's youth for generations.
348
00:14:11,602 --> 00:14:13,312
And it was just what I needed.
349
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:14,396
[man 1 on TV] Lift off.
350
00:14:14,897 --> 00:14:16,065
Too interesting.
351
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:18,650
Too violent.
352
00:14:18,734 --> 00:14:19,860
Why, you...
353
00:14:20,652 --> 00:14:22,154
Huh. I don't think so.
354
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:25,574
[man 2 on TV] Now then,
let's build us a little cloud.
355
00:14:26,241 --> 00:14:27,493
Clouds are very free.
356
00:14:27,868 --> 00:14:28,952
Very, very free.
357
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:32,790
Tell you what. Shoot, that was
so much fun, let's get crazy.
358
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:35,709
- Maybe...
- Who's this bohemian?
359
00:14:36,752 --> 00:14:40,005
If you can have any job
in the high school, what would it be?
360
00:14:40,881 --> 00:14:42,341
I don't know. Why?
361
00:14:42,424 --> 00:14:46,470
Sometimes I look at the janitor
pushing around that buffing machine.
362
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:48,347
That thing looks like a blast.
363
00:14:48,472 --> 00:14:49,556
[chuckles]
364
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,974
He doesn't wear a tie,
365
00:14:51,058 --> 00:14:52,768
no fights with the school board.
366
00:14:53,936 --> 00:14:57,189
Vomit and feces aside, he's...
he's living the dream.
367
00:14:58,857 --> 00:15:00,651
Hello. Am I boring you?
368
00:15:01,235 --> 00:15:03,779
Sorry. I'm a little distracted.
369
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:05,531
Trouble at home?
370
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:08,450
Something like that.
371
00:15:08,534 --> 00:15:09,774
Mmm. You want to talk about it?
372
00:15:11,537 --> 00:15:12,538
No.
373
00:15:13,038 --> 00:15:15,082
Tell me about your fun bachelor life.
374
00:15:15,416 --> 00:15:19,545
Well, as of last week,
I officially tasted every Campbell soup.
375
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:23,215
[chuckles] Come on, Tom.
I'm trying to live vicariously here.
376
00:15:23,298 --> 00:15:24,800
There's got to be something good.
377
00:15:24,883 --> 00:15:28,137
Let's see. I go hunting and fishing
whenever I feel like it.
378
00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:29,388
Now you're getting somewhere.
379
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:32,599
Spend my money on whatever I want.
380
00:15:33,142 --> 00:15:34,435
What was the last thing you got?
381
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:36,645
Foreman fight on pay-per-view.
382
00:15:37,438 --> 00:15:40,399
I ate a bucket of chicken
and watched it in my underwear.
383
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,151
- You lucky bastard.
- Uh-huh.
384
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:44,570
What about women?
385
00:15:44,736 --> 00:15:45,863
[sighs]
386
00:15:45,946 --> 00:15:46,947
Honestly...
387
00:15:47,823 --> 00:15:50,409
it's tough to meet people at this age.
388
00:15:50,492 --> 00:15:52,744
Come on, charming fellow like you?
389
00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:53,829
[scoffs]
390
00:15:53,954 --> 00:15:56,915
Sadly, this is the best night out
I've had in a long time.
391
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,417
[chuckling] Yeah, me, too.
392
00:16:00,043 --> 00:16:03,172
But if you know anybody,
send them my way.
393
00:16:06,884 --> 00:16:08,385
Yeah, I'll think about it.
394
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:12,556
Do you ever eat chicken
in your underwear?
395
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:13,765
What do you think?
396
00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:15,893
- Yes.
- Yes.
397
00:16:16,268 --> 00:16:18,068
[man on TV]
Making a gorgeous little mountain.
398
00:16:18,729 --> 00:16:21,565
Little stand of evergreens
that lives right in here.
399
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:23,442
I didn't know Richard Simmons can paint.
400
00:16:23,859 --> 00:16:26,737
His name's Bob Ross,
and he's oddly hypnotic.
401
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:28,197
You're gonna paint?
402
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,781
No, I just like watching him.
403
00:16:29,865 --> 00:16:32,743
I can't explain it, but his voice
and demeanor are comforting.
404
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:34,161
Like a hot beverage.
405
00:16:34,244 --> 00:16:35,245
[Ross] Let's get crazy.
406
00:16:35,704 --> 00:16:38,749
And once again, just pull it out.
Just like we did the other one.
407
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:40,333
Yawn.
408
00:16:41,376 --> 00:16:43,337
[Ross] Barely touch. Whisper.
409
00:16:44,129 --> 00:16:46,590
Just whisper-light. Let it go.
410
00:16:46,965 --> 00:16:49,092
Let it go. No pressure.
411
00:16:49,176 --> 00:16:51,720
[adult Sheldon]
The yips are a cruel mistress,
412
00:16:51,803 --> 00:16:55,140
but thanks to a magical man
with a halo of curls,
413
00:16:55,224 --> 00:16:59,061
I was finally able to relax
and get out of my own head.
414
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:02,981
Instead of freezing up,
I thought about happy integers,
415
00:17:03,899 --> 00:17:05,609
fluffy little formulas,
416
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:08,820
and a sweet Bessel function
thatjust wants me to do my very best.
417
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:09,947
Done.
418
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:11,865
Great. I can still
make my doubles match.
419
00:17:11,949 --> 00:17:12,949
Get out.
420
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:21,291
[indistinct chatter]
421
00:17:21,375 --> 00:17:22,417
[sighs] Damn it.
422
00:17:22,501 --> 00:17:24,127
Hold it. Time. Time. Time.
423
00:17:25,379 --> 00:17:26,880
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
424
00:17:26,964 --> 00:17:28,764
Oh, don't worry about it,
it's not your fault.
425
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:29,925
It isn't?
426
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:32,844
No, I'm the one that let a girl pitch.
It's my mistake.
427
00:17:32,928 --> 00:17:35,305
What? I've won so many games.
428
00:17:35,389 --> 00:17:36,557
Oh, that was then.
429
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,350
Why are you being so mean?
430
00:17:38,433 --> 00:17:41,061
Well, why are you getting so emotional,
like women do?
431
00:17:41,603 --> 00:17:43,188
Maybe you ought to be a cheerleader.
432
00:17:43,647 --> 00:17:44,982
You trying to make me mad?
433
00:17:45,065 --> 00:17:46,692
- Is it working?
- Yeah.
434
00:17:47,025 --> 00:17:50,153
Well, I'll tell you what.
Picture my face in the catcher's mitt.
435
00:17:50,612 --> 00:17:52,573
- What?
- Do I have to dumb it down for you?
436
00:17:52,656 --> 00:17:54,908
Just do what I tell you.
437
00:17:55,284 --> 00:17:56,326
[exhales]
438
00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:57,410
[woman] Okay!
439
00:17:57,578 --> 00:17:58,662
Come on, girl, let's do it!
440
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:00,905
- [man] Hey, batter, batter, batter!
- [woman] Come on!
441
00:18:04,001 --> 00:18:05,335
- [umpire] Strike!
- Yes!
442
00:18:05,419 --> 00:18:08,463
- Don't get all hysterical, little girl.
- [crowd applauding]
443
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:11,091
- You suck.
- You suck.
444
00:18:11,425 --> 00:18:12,926
No, you suck!
445
00:18:14,136 --> 00:18:15,345
[umpire] Strike.
446
00:18:16,013 --> 00:18:18,265
I am the leader of the little people.
447
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:27,566
[theme music playing]
