ADULT SHELDON:
Previously on Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:03,963 --> 00:00:06,090
I've been corresponding
with Dr. John Sturgis
3
00:00:06,173 --> 00:00:07,508
at East Texas Tech.
4
00:00:07,591 --> 00:00:09,260
He said I could audit
his course.
5
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:10,553
I'm John Sturgis.
6
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:12,471
Sheldon invited me to dinner.
7
00:00:12,555 --> 00:00:15,349
Spaghetti and hot dogs
is delightful.
8
00:00:15,433 --> 00:00:16,642
You're only here temporarily?
9
00:00:16,726 --> 00:00:18,060
That's the plan for now,
10
00:00:18,144 --> 00:00:22,273
but I could be enticed to stay.
11
00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:23,796
I do believe there
was subtext there.
12
00:00:23,858 --> 00:00:24,859
Did you pick up on it?
13
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:29,697
Okay. I'll see you later.
14
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:31,500
Are you sure
you don't want to stay with me?
15
00:00:31,532 --> 00:00:33,677
I don't think so. I don't really
understand this stuff.
16
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:35,995
That's how I felt
when we watched Dirty Dancing,
17
00:00:36,078 --> 00:00:37,121
and I stayed.
18
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:38,849
When Patrick Swayze
takes his shirt off in here,
19
00:00:38,873 --> 00:00:40,833
I'll be back.
You have a good one.
20
00:00:48,632 --> 00:00:50,426
Hello.
21
00:00:50,509 --> 00:00:51,509
Hi.
22
00:00:52,762 --> 00:00:53,971
Who are you?
23
00:00:54,055 --> 00:00:55,181
I'm Paige.
24
00:00:55,264 --> 00:00:56,974
I like your bow tie.
25
00:00:57,058 --> 00:00:58,392
Thank you.
26
00:00:58,476 --> 00:00:59,852
You seem awfully young,
Paige.
27
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:02,229
Are you with an adult
who's taking this class?
28
00:01:02,313 --> 00:01:04,690
No. Dr. Sturgis heard
about my research
29
00:01:04,774 --> 00:01:07,026
on quantum chromodynamics
at high temperatures
30
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:09,236
and invited me
to audit his course.
31
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:10,488
Is that so?
32
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:12,948
Yes. He's been super nice.
33
00:01:13,032 --> 00:01:15,451
Interesting. Well,
just so we're clear,
34
00:01:15,534 --> 00:01:17,912
he's my mentor,
he's my meemaw's boyfriend,
35
00:01:17,995 --> 00:01:20,748
and he had spaghetti
and hot dogs at my house.
36
00:01:20,831 --> 00:01:24,085
[chuckling] The spaghetti
goes on the hot dogs?
37
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:25,169
No.
38
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:27,254
You realize
this is a very advanced class.
39
00:01:27,338 --> 00:01:28,254

deriving nuclear physics
from the quark model.
41
00:01:30,633 --> 00:01:32,986
Do you know if he'll be doing
a full color octet calculation
42
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,096
with matrix manipulations?
43
00:01:36,222 --> 00:01:37,264
I do not.
44
00:01:37,348 --> 00:01:39,725
Do you know how to differentiate
under the integral sign?

she was coming to this class?

00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:37,324
I thought it would be
a fun surprise.

I don't like surprises.

Then why did you do it?

It's possible.

00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:24,663

might be jealousy.

Oh, well, maybe you're angry.

No, there's too much sad

00:06:56,792 --> 00:06:58,669
without Dr. Spock
could never be good,
182
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:00,963
but I've seen you watching it.
183
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,340
Well, first of all,
it's Mr. Spock.
184
00:07:03,424 --> 00:07:05,634
Dr. Spock writes books
about babies.
185
00:07:05,717 --> 00:07:07,219
My apologies.
186
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:09,555
And second of all,
Paige isn't a TV show.
187
00:07:09,638 --> 00:07:12,683
She's a person, and we all know
how I feel about people.
188
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:14,101
[blows raspberry]
189
00:07:17,521 --> 00:07:18,897
[sighs]
190
00:07:18,981 --> 00:07:20,190
Okay, look.
191
00:07:20,691 --> 00:07:21,984
You're right.
192
00:07:25,237 --> 00:07:27,865
I don't have many friends,
193
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:31,743
so I was hoping
to get to know Paige's mom.
194
00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:37,624
But if it makes you
uncomfortable,
195
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:40,335
then I will call her
and cancel.
196
00:07:44,423 --> 00:07:46,800
I'll think about it.
197
00:07:47,301 --> 00:07:49,970
Thank you, baby.
198
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:52,264
ADULT SHELDON: Guilt
and jealousy in the same day.
199
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:54,600
I slept hard that night.
200
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:58,228
Mmm.
201
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:02,065
Did you know that there's a type
of vanilla flavoring
202
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:04,359
derived from the anal glands
203
00:08:04,443 --> 00:08:06,236
of the North American beaver?
204
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,238
That seems like a fact
you could have shared
205
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:09,698
before we started eating.
206
00:08:09,781 --> 00:08:11,617
It isn't used very often.
207
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:15,579
I understand it's difficult
to, uh, milk the little sacs.
208
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:18,457
Cool. Okay, new topic.
209
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:20,292
Let's talk about Sheldon.
210
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:22,002
Wonderful. What about him?
211
00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:25,881
He's having kind of a hard time
with the new girl in your class.
212
00:08:26,465 --> 00:08:27,758
Really? Why?
213
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:30,552
He's jealous of the attention
you're paying her.
214
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:33,096
Well, she's remarkable.
215
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:35,140
You see that? Less of that.
216
00:08:35,224 --> 00:08:37,184
But I think
he's remarkable, too.
217
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:39,027
Perfect. More of that,
less of the other one.
218
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:40,896
Understood.
219
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:43,649
See, this is why
we're great together.
220
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:46,193
You teach me
about social etiquette,
221
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:48,737
and I teach you
about beaver anuses.
222
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,739
[chuckles]
It is magical.
223
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:54,743
Did you know "ani"
is also acceptable
224
00:08:54,826 --> 00:08:56,411
as the plural of "anus"?
225
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:58,830
And the magic continues.
226
00:08:58,914 --> 00:09:01,416
[chuckles]
227
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,812
SPOCK: Must have been most
difficult for you to share.
228
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:06,564
ADULT SHELDON: The thought
of spending an afternoon
229
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:08,549
with Paige seemed excruciating,
230
00:09:08,632 --> 00:09:10,676
but I wanted
to make my mother happy.
231
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:12,302
I was torn.
232
00:09:12,386 --> 00:09:14,179
The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,
233
00:09:14,263 --> 00:09:16,890
is what keeps us healthy...
234
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:18,767
emotionally healthy, that is.
235
00:09:18,850 --> 00:09:21,812
ADULT SHELDON: Luckily, the wise
words of Gene Roddenberry,
236
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:23,814
flatly delivered
by Leonard Nimoy,
237
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:25,440
resolved my dilemma.
238
00:09:25,524 --> 00:09:27,401
That may be, Doctor.
239
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:30,028
However, I have noted
240
00:09:30,112 --> 00:09:33,782
that the healthy release
of emotion
241
00:09:33,865 --> 00:09:36,326
is frequently very unhealthy.
242
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:39,955
I realized if Mr. Spock
could rise above his emotions
243
00:09:40,038 --> 00:09:42,416
while the fate of the
Enterprise hung in the balance,
244
00:09:42,499 --> 00:09:46,336
certainly I could tolerate
Paige for a few hours.
245
00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:47,963
GEORGE JR.: I'm not
watching this crap.
246
00:09:48,046 --> 00:09:49,715
Why do I listen to you?

to help you choose a major.

TONY: I know, but what if it
says all I'm good at is...
250
00:09:57,514 --> 00:09:58,515
What are you doing?
251
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:00,517
Suppressing my emotions.
252
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:02,561
Oh, yeah? Suppress this.
253

ADULT SHELDON: Vulcans use
a technique called Kolinahr
258
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:16,366
to suppress their emotions.

MARY: Sheldon,
they're here!
260
00:10:18,035 --> 00:10:19,745
Obviously, I wasn't a Vulcan.
261
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:21,413
So I did the next best thing:
262
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:23,957
Took my feelings
and shoved them down so far

00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:25,626

forever.

Hi, Sheldon!

The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,

00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:31,715
is what keeps us healthy.

of the bookkeeping for us.

but this year,

asking for money.

hear that.

Boy, does he.

We can't go to the grocery store
without him making sure

that all the labels
are facing the right way.

- Well,

it wasn't adorable
when we redid our shower
296
00:11:30,857 --> 00:11:33,735
and he wouldn't use it 'cause
two of the tiles were crooked.
297
00:11:33,819 --> 00:11:35,070
He took baths
in the sink

- No.
- Not really.

Oh.

00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:50,252
Now, since we'll be spending
a few hours together,
304
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:52,713
I've created a list of
activities to keep us occupied.
305
00:11:52,796 --> 00:11:54,156
We'll start with
a tour of my room,
306
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:56,174
then board games,
and if time permits,
307
00:11:56,258 --> 00:11:58,510
you can look at
and not touch my trains.
308
00:11:58,593 --> 00:12:00,262
Oh, My Little Pony.
309
00:12:00,345 --> 00:12:02,222
I love My Little Pony.
310
00:12:02,305 --> 00:12:04,474
That's my sister's,
and it's not part of the tour.
311
00:12:04,558 --> 00:12:06,309
I share a room
with my sister, too.
312
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:07,811
It's super fun.
313
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:08,895
You're wrong.
314
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:12,065
Now, over here, we have my desk.
315
00:12:12,149 --> 00:12:14,860
This is my computer.
That's my mouse.
316
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:17,779
This is my printer. This is the
paper that goes in the printer.
317
00:12:17,863 --> 00:12:19,531
This is a box of extra paper
318
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:21,324
that also goes
in the printer.
319
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:27,038
And this is my signed picture
of Professor Proton.
320
00:12:27,122 --> 00:12:28,623
Do you watch his show?
321
00:12:28,707 --> 00:12:30,667
No. I don't
really like it.
322
00:12:31,460 --> 00:12:32,461
You don't?
323
00:12:32,544 --> 00:12:33,670
I think he's boring.
324
00:12:34,963 --> 00:12:37,215
And he dumbs everything down.

Kolinahr, don't fail me now.

we have...

making me feel better.

Their kid is perfect.

00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:53,231
And so is ours.
332
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:55,734
So we're lying to
each other. Fine.
333
00:12:56,234 --> 00:12:58,028
It's just nice to get to know
another family
334
00:12:58,111 --> 00:13:00,447
who's in a similar situation
as us.
335
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:02,574
- And we're still lying.

are you in?

Eighth.

00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:11,541
You?

340
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:14,002
Cool.
341
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:17,088
Nobody asked, but fourth.
342
00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:21,301
Why do grownups do this?
343
00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:23,386
They love to stick random kids
together
344
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:25,263
and expect them
to just be friends.
345
00:13:25,347 --> 00:13:27,474
I know. I hate that.
346
00:13:27,557 --> 00:13:28,725
Fresh Prince is right.
347
00:13:28,809 --> 00:13:30,435

saying stuff
about Sir Isaac Neutron.

Ugh, my sister's
always talking about him.
354
00:13:43,865 --> 00:13:45,158
I don't know why.
355
00:13:45,242 --> 00:13:46,576
I think he's dead.
356
00:13:47,118 --> 00:13:48,912
You have no idea
how much it sucks
357
00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:50,455
to have a brother
like him.
358
00:13:50,539 --> 00:13:52,541
Believe it or not,
he's in my class.
359
00:13:52,624 --> 00:13:55,669
My parents sent Paige
to a private school.
360
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:58,338
Cool. We're too
poor for that.
361
00:14:01,883 --> 00:14:03,176
[sighs]
362
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:06,596
Does Sheldon
make you feel stupid?
363
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,640
Nah, I'm smart in other ways.
364
00:14:08,723 --> 00:14:10,225
Me, too.
365
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:11,935
Hey, I saw an old TV
in the alley.
366
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:13,270
Want to go throw rocks at it?
367
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:14,311
- Cool!
- Hell yeah!
368
00:14:14,312 --> 00:14:15,564
Let's do it.
369
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:19,025
We could play traditional chess.
370
00:14:19,109 --> 00:14:21,069
Or if you're interested,
we could play a variant
371
00:14:21,152 --> 00:14:22,612
with a new piece I invented.
372
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,197
That sounds fun.
373
00:14:24,281 --> 00:14:25,866
What's the new piece?
374
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,033
A wizard.
375
00:14:27,117 --> 00:14:28,952
The wizard cannot be taken,
and at any point,
376
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:32,455
he can teleport and switch
places with any other piece.
377
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:34,708
Yes, but there's
an obvious flaw.
378
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,711
- What flaw?
- Well, any time anyone is checkmated,
379
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:40,147
they can simply have the wizard
and their king switch places.
380
00:14:40,171 --> 00:14:42,257
So the game will never end.
381
00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:45,218
I knew that.
You passed my test.
382
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:48,221
We told Paige
that if she won
383
00:14:48,305 --> 00:14:49,949
the regional spelling bee,
she could get a puppy.
384
00:14:49,973 --> 00:14:51,308
We ended up with two,
385
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,351
'cause she won twice.
[chuckles]
386
00:14:53,435 --> 00:14:55,270
[chuckles]
Fun! That... that's fun.
387
00:14:56,688 --> 00:14:58,815
All right,
that's enough about Paige.
388
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:02,110
So, George, I know you're
a football coach.
389
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:03,403
What about you, Mary?
390
00:15:03,486 --> 00:15:05,447
I work part-time at the church.
391
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,073
- Oh.
- Oh, that's so nice.
392
00:15:07,157 --> 00:15:08,467
I used to work at the
practice with Barry,
393
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:10,243
but I had to quit
once Paige's schedule
394
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:11,453
- started to get busy.
- Mm.
395
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:12,996
Well, that's understandable.
396
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:15,999
A unique child
can require a lot of attention.
397
00:15:16,082 --> 00:15:17,334
[Barry chuckles]
398
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,169
Mm. Try all
the attention. Hmm?
399
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:21,922
- [chuckles] Okay. You know that's not true, Barry.
- Well...
400
00:15:22,005 --> 00:15:23,423
[chuckles]
She's...
401
00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:24,841
she's right. It's not.
402
00:15:24,925 --> 00:15:26,676
Although I did spend
Father's Day alone
403
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,803
'cause she took Paige
to a robotics show.
404
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:30,889
Okay. That's
enough, Barry.
405
00:15:30,972 --> 00:15:32,474
They don't need
to hear all this.
406
00:15:32,557 --> 00:15:33,618
[chuckles]
GEORGE SR.: That's okay.
407
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:35,402
[stammers] That's why
we're getting together,
408
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:37,896
you know, talk about
this kind of stuff.
409
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:40,732
Barry, it sounds like
you might be feeling left out.
410
00:15:40,815 --> 00:15:42,192
Oh.
[chuckles] No.
411
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:43,318
[laughs]
412
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:44,778
Sometimes I do.
413
00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:46,738
And it's not just me.
It's Erica, too.
414
00:15:46,821 --> 00:15:49,282
Oh, now he's just
being dramatic.
415
00:15:49,366 --> 00:15:50,700
Erica gets a lot
of attention,
416
00:15:50,784 --> 00:15:52,827
and she's just a joy.
[chuckles]
417
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:56,915
Dang it, the
screen won't break.
418
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,459
Bet it'll break
if we blow it up.
419
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:06,383
[whispering]
I love her.
420
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:07,676
Fine, you're right.
421
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:08,927
Erica's doing just great.
422
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:11,054
Nothing to worry about there.
423
00:16:11,137 --> 00:16:12,639
[chuckles]
424
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:16,226
ERICA:
Oh, come on.
425
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:19,729
You got any matches?
426
00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:21,106
Be right back.
427
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:29,072
While she's gone,
you want to make out?
428
00:16:29,155 --> 00:16:30,657
Sure.
429
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:33,743
You actually believe
in the multiverse theory?
430
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:34,995
Very much so.
431
00:16:35,078 --> 00:16:36,579
It's the most elegant
interpretation
432
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,456
of quantum mechanics.
433
00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:41,960
So you really think there are
an infinite number of universes?
434
00:16:42,043 --> 00:16:44,879
Stephen Hawking believes it,
so, yes, I do.
435
00:16:44,963 --> 00:16:48,591
Well, if there are
an infinite number of universes,
436
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,802
I think that theory's dumb
in all of them.
437
00:16:50,885 --> 00:16:52,345
[chuckles]
438
00:16:53,304 --> 00:16:54,681
This is fun.
439
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,200
I don't get to have
discussions like this
440
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:57,767
with kids at my school.
441
00:16:57,851 --> 00:16:58,852
Do you?
442
00:16:59,894 --> 00:17:01,479
No.
443
00:17:08,862 --> 00:17:11,531
Do you ever wish you were
just like everyone else?
444
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:14,451
Not at all.
445
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:15,744
[chuckles]
Me neither.
446
00:17:15,827 --> 00:17:18,079
I love being smarter
than everyone. [chuckles]
447
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:19,873
Me, too.
448
00:17:19,956 --> 00:17:21,809
ADULT SHELDON: I started
to think that Paige and I
449
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:24,085
might have more in common
than I thought.
450
00:17:24,169 --> 00:17:25,253
Maybe my mother was right.
451
00:17:25,879 --> 00:17:28,965
I really did just need
to get to know her better.
452
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:31,342
Checkmate!
453
00:17:31,426 --> 00:17:32,719
You lose.
[chuckles]
454
00:17:32,802 --> 00:17:34,429
KIRK: Red alert. [alarm sounding]
455
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:36,514
Phasers stand by to fire
on my order.
456
00:17:36,598 --> 00:17:39,642
Guess that makes
me the smartest.
457
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:41,162
ADULT SHELDON: I don't know
if ten-year-old Spock
458
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:42,771
ever flipped a chess board,
459
00:17:42,854 --> 00:17:45,356
but ten-year-old Sheldon
sure did.
460
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,318
[alarm sounding]
[Star Trek fight music playing]
461
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:51,738
BARRY: You know Paige
always comes first...
462
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:54,324
Got to say, I'm glad
we invited 'em over.
463
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,701
[clinking]
Don't you get him another beer.
464
00:17:56,785 --> 00:17:58,661
Come on. You love this
and you know it.
465
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:01,915
- [Barry and Linda arguing]
- They're as messed up as we are.
466
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:03,833
Fine. But one more
and that's it.
467
00:18:04,459 --> 00:18:05,460
[loud boom]
[gasps]
468
00:18:05,543 --> 00:18:07,087
- GEORGE JR.: Whoa!
- ERICA: Yes!
469
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,380
MISSY:
Holy crap!
470
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:12,884
Don't you...
Go out there and check!
471
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:18,640
Now, does anyone know
what happens to quarks
472
00:18:18,723 --> 00:18:22,018
when we combine them
to make mesons and baryons?
473
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:24,979
Yes, Paige.
474
00:18:25,063 --> 00:18:26,689
We can ignore
the particle masses
475
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:28,608
at the individual quark level.
476
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,401
Correct.
[chuckles]
477
00:18:30,485 --> 00:18:32,695
You are really...
478
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:36,991
He's jealous of you
paying attention to her.
479
00:18:38,743 --> 00:18:40,453
That was correct, Paige.
480
00:18:41,246 --> 00:18:42,997
And, Sheldon,
481
00:18:43,081 --> 00:18:45,291
is that a new bow tie?
482
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:47,460
It is.
483
00:18:47,544 --> 00:18:49,045
Lookin' sharp!
484
00:18:49,587 --> 00:18:51,005
Thanks.
485
00:18:51,089 --> 00:18:52,757
That was a close one.
486
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:54,717
As I was saying,
the only...
