1
00:00:01,044 --> 00:00:02,609
Previously on Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:02,612 --> 00:00:05,215
Did we talk about going home
from the bar together? Sure.
3
00:00:05,218 --> 00:00:06,528
But nothing actually happened.
4
00:00:06,531 --> 00:00:07,664
Kind of feels like it.
5
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:09,493
It does feel like it.
6
00:00:09,496 --> 00:00:10,921
Why does it feel like it?
7
00:00:10,924 --> 00:00:13,242
- Hi, Mary.
- Hey, John.
8
00:00:13,245 --> 00:00:14,810
What are you doing here?
9
00:00:14,813 --> 00:00:16,406
Well, I lost my job,
10
00:00:16,409 --> 00:00:19,648
so, while I'm figuring
things out, I'm a bag boy.
11
00:00:19,651 --> 00:00:22,570
Aren't you a little overqualified?
12
00:00:22,573 --> 00:00:23,572
[whispers]: Very.
13
00:00:23,575 --> 00:00:25,242
You've got a PhD.
14
00:00:25,245 --> 00:00:27,093
You're the smartest person here.
15
00:00:27,096 --> 00:00:28,226
Well...
16
00:00:31,668 --> 00:00:32,928
ADULT SHELDON: In physics,
17
00:00:32,931 --> 00:00:36,019
potential energy is a fascinating topic.
18
00:00:36,022 --> 00:00:39,720
Objects like springs store
energy when they're coiled,
19
00:00:39,723 --> 00:00:41,992
waiting to unleash their full potential
20
00:00:41,995 --> 00:00:43,997
and soar to the heavens.
21
00:00:45,175 --> 00:00:47,125
Would you look at me go!
22
00:00:48,726 --> 00:00:51,742
Even in toy form, I'm
shooting for the stars.
23
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:55,485
While the potential energy of an object
24
00:00:55,488 --> 00:00:57,184
can be measured in absolutes,
25
00:00:57,187 --> 00:01:00,429
human potential remains more elusive.
26
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:06,142
Sometimes, people seem to have
all the potential in the world,
27
00:01:06,145 --> 00:01:09,104
but for some reason
stay stuck to the ground.
28
00:01:11,164 --> 00:01:13,062
But why are you wasting your time here
29
00:01:13,065 --> 00:01:14,543
when you could be doing science?
30
00:01:14,546 --> 00:01:17,676
I told you, I'm happy here.
31
00:01:17,679 --> 00:01:19,120
How could you be happy?
32
00:01:19,122 --> 00:01:21,190
You have a doctorate in physics,
and you're sticking labels
33
00:01:21,192 --> 00:01:22,606
to a case of beans.
34
00:01:22,609 --> 00:01:24,000
I had to work here a month
35
00:01:24,003 --> 00:01:26,003
before they let me use this thing.
36
00:01:26,006 --> 00:01:29,921
And yet, I could go buy a
real gun on my lunch break.
37
00:01:29,924 --> 00:01:32,359
Ha! Texas, huh?
38
00:01:32,361 --> 00:01:34,414
But don't you miss trying to unlock
39
00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:36,093
the secrets of the universe?
40
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:39,997
Sheldon, I spent my life
chasing theoreticals.
41
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,978
Here, I have tangible accomplishments
42
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:46,504
and I get to listen to
relaxing Top 40 music.
43
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,825
Do you know this band, Air Supply?
44
00:01:49,828 --> 00:01:51,552

What kind of things
you and Darlene do when,
56

- Oh.
57
00:02:26,065 --> 00:02:27,390
All kinds of stuff.
58
00:02:27,393 --> 00:02:28,676
But it doesn't matter what we do
59
00:02:28,679 --> 00:02:30,462
as long as we're together.

Looking for a thing to do here.

00:02:31,942 --> 00:02:33,420
All right.
62
00:02:33,422 --> 00:02:35,770
Nice to see you're
thinking about your wife.
63
00:02:35,772 --> 00:02:37,467
I'm trying.
64
00:02:37,469 --> 00:02:39,687
Darlene and I love to go line dancing.
65
00:02:39,689 --> 00:02:41,559
- Next.
- Let's see.
66
00:02:41,561 --> 00:02:43,604
There's the Roundabout.
67
00:02:43,606 --> 00:02:44,710
What's that?
68
00:02:44,713 --> 00:02:45,998
It's a roller rink.
69
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,609
They have cool lights and a DJ.
70
00:02:48,611 --> 00:02:49,915
It's like a disco.
71
00:02:49,917 --> 00:02:51,656
So, when I said no to line dancing,
72
00:02:51,658 --> 00:02:53,483
you thought, "Let's
put George on wheels."
73
00:02:53,485 --> 00:02:54,484
Ooh.
74
00:02:54,486 --> 00:02:55,609

But it doesn't matter where you go.
79
00:03:02,213 --> 00:03:03,971
She's just gonna be happy you're trying.
80
00:03:03,974 --> 00:03:06,105
I hope so.
81
00:03:06,107 --> 00:03:08,359
It's nice to see I'm
finally rubbing off on you.
82
00:03:08,362 --> 00:03:10,432
I am capable of being a decent husband.

Oh, of course you are.

where you can find them.
89

Yeah, please, go right ahead.

I quit and I joined the Army.

Well, at least you made it out alive.

Well, then I got married.

No.

Well, I was waiting outside,
117
00:04:27,713 --> 00:04:30,362
but then an angry squirrel
forced me to seek shelter.
118
00:04:30,365 --> 00:04:31,773
What do you want?
119
00:04:31,776 --> 00:04:33,558
I need you to talk to Dr. Sturgis.

He's wasting his time
working in a grocery store.

- Yes.

Good, I spread it heavily

Well, please.
124
00:04:42,871 --> 00:04:44,218
He won't listen to me.
125
00:04:44,221 --> 00:04:46,178
I'm hoping you can talk
some sense into him.

Sheldon, he's a grown man.

- That's exactly right.
- Excellent.
130
00:04:53,192 --> 00:04:54,844
So, will you talk to him?
131
00:04:54,847 --> 00:04:56,476
Look, if he doesn't want to come back,
132
00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:57,914
I certainly can't force him.

I'm just curious, if
he were to come back,

would you spend more time with him,
137

and therefore less time with me?
138
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:08,445
I suppose so. Why?

No reason. Get out.

Well, I'm here to convince you
to come back to the university.

Now I'm content just keeping
these cucumbers crunchy.

- I don't know.

30 years of his life

on the grand unified field
theory and got nowhere.

And to this day, no one has.
161

- True.
- In fact,

accomplishments occurred

have a pamphlet for that.

00:06:57,673 --> 00:07:00,117
My boss has been letting
me pick up some extra hours.
182
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,599
You just can't ditch school.
183
00:07:02,602 --> 00:07:04,117
It's not like I'm going to college.
184
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,570
Son, a diploma's important.
185
00:07:06,573 --> 00:07:07,710
Why?
186
00:07:07,713 --> 00:07:09,796
At least at work I'm
getting actual experience
187
00:07:09,799 --> 00:07:10,972
and making money.
188
00:07:10,975 --> 00:07:13,151
Well, you saying you're gonna drop out?
189
00:07:14,808 --> 00:07:16,416
I guess I am.
190
00:07:16,419 --> 00:07:18,115
Does your father know about this?
191
00:07:18,118 --> 00:07:19,247
No.
192
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:20,946
Don't you think you should tell him?
193
00:07:20,949 --> 00:07:22,209
I don't really want to.
194
00:07:22,212 --> 00:07:25,213
Well, if you don't
tell him, I'm going to.
195
00:07:25,216 --> 00:07:26,737
That'd be great.
196
00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:27,959
You're the best.
197
00:07:32,373 --> 00:07:33,983
You never know.
198
00:07:39,702 --> 00:07:41,190
Come on, Mom, don't you wish you were
199
00:07:41,193 --> 00:07:42,495
watching television, too?
200
00:07:42,498 --> 00:07:44,202
JANET [on TV]: Clarissa Marie Darling...
201
00:07:44,205 --> 00:07:45,558
You look nice.
202
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,908
Oh, no, are we going to church?
203
00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:50,499
No, your father and I have a date night.
204
00:07:50,502 --> 00:07:52,739
Why? Don't you have enough kids?
205
00:07:52,741 --> 00:07:54,610
That is not what date night means.
206
00:07:54,612 --> 00:07:55,611
[door closes]
207
00:07:55,613 --> 00:07:56,612
Georgie here?
208
00:07:56,614 --> 00:07:57,744
He's in his room.
209
00:07:57,746 --> 00:07:59,354
What's going on?
210
00:07:59,356 --> 00:08:03,358
- George?
- Oh, good, more drama.
211
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,409
What the hell is wrong with you?
212
00:08:05,412 --> 00:08:06,479
MARY: What is going on?
213
00:08:06,482 --> 00:08:08,026
He's dropping out of school.
214
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:10,268
What?! Oh, no, you're not.
215
00:08:10,271 --> 00:08:11,690
It's not a big deal.
216
00:08:11,693 --> 00:08:13,479
You better believe it's a big deal.
217
00:08:13,482 --> 00:08:15,987
You are finishing high
school, end of discussion.
218
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:17,250
It's my life.
219
00:08:17,253 --> 00:08:18,276
It's my house.
220
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,573
If you're don't go to
school, you can't live here.
221
00:08:20,576 --> 00:08:22,968
Hold on, we are not kicking him out.
222
00:08:22,971 --> 00:08:24,292
The hell we're not!
223
00:08:24,294 --> 00:08:25,870
I'll pack right now.
224
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:27,862
Stop, you don't have to go.
225
00:08:27,865 --> 00:08:30,330
Yes, he does. My house, my rules.
226
00:08:30,333 --> 00:08:31,971
It is my house, too.
227
00:08:31,974 --> 00:08:34,519
- Oh, really?
- Yes, really.
228
00:08:34,522 --> 00:08:35,674
[knocking]
229
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:37,716
Is Dale here?
230
00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:39,110
Yeah, what's up?
231
00:08:39,113 --> 00:08:41,221
I would like to have a word with him.
232
00:08:41,224 --> 00:08:44,138
Better him than me. Have at it.
233
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:46,541
Dale, Mary coming in hot!
234
00:08:46,544 --> 00:08:49,573
Did you tell Georgie
to drop out of school?
235
00:08:49,576 --> 00:08:51,120
What? No.
236
00:08:51,123 --> 00:08:54,971
Well, he did, and you had
something to do with it.
237
00:08:54,974 --> 00:08:57,148
Well, no, he was just
complaining about school
238
00:08:57,151 --> 00:08:58,799
and I told him I dropped out.
239
00:08:58,802 --> 00:08:59,888
Dale,
240
00:08:59,891 --> 00:09:01,673
you know that he looks up to you.
241
00:09:01,676 --> 00:09:02,745
He does, doesn't he?
242
00:09:02,748 --> 00:09:04,244
Which is why you need to tell him
243
00:09:04,247 --> 00:09:06,508
that he is making a big mistake.
244
00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:08,612
Oh, I don't think I can do that.
245
00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:09,859
Why not?
246
00:09:09,861 --> 00:09:12,079
Well, I don't believe he is.
247
00:09:12,081 --> 00:09:14,346
How could you say that?
248
00:09:14,349 --> 00:09:16,518
I did it, worked out fine.
249
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,217
Will you back me up here, please?
250
00:09:19,219 --> 00:09:21,057
I agree with him.
251
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:22,362
You do?
252
00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:23,557
You do?
253
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:24,820
Yeah.
254
00:09:24,893 --> 00:09:26,501
Yeah.
255
00:09:26,504 --> 00:09:28,445
MEEMAW: The kid's a natural salesman.
256
00:09:28,448 --> 00:09:31,073
I mean, school's not
gonna help with that.
257
00:09:31,076 --> 00:09:34,307
So, you are fine with your
grandson throwing his life away
258
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:38,330
so that he can sell fishing
rods and baseball bats?
259
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:40,432
Excuse me, those fishing rods provided
260
00:09:40,435 --> 00:09:42,580
a nice life for me and my family.
261
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:43,887
What family?
262
00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:46,547
You're divorced, and your
kids don't talk to you.
263
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:48,550
Help me out here.
264
00:09:48,552 --> 00:09:51,916
A diploma would not have
made his life better.
265
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,212
Thank you. What she said.
266
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,000
GEORGE SR.: She really took his side?
267
00:09:57,003 --> 00:09:58,627
I don't want to talk about that.
268
00:09:58,630 --> 00:10:00,135
I thought you two had date night.
269
00:10:00,138 --> 00:10:01,746
I don't want to talk about that, either.
270
00:10:01,749 --> 00:10:03,440
Why isn't Georgie eating with us?
271
00:10:03,443 --> 00:10:05,276
Let's talk about anything else.
272
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,862
Ooh. Perhaps this is a good
time for a physics joke.
273
00:10:07,865 --> 00:10:08,838
It isn't.
274
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:11,041
That's the cool thing about
physics, time is relative.
275
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:12,409
Okay, here we go.
276
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:15,612
Why was the pirate worried that
his shoes were less than "H"?
277
00:10:17,492 --> 00:10:19,582
Because he had to walk the Planck.
278
00:10:21,378 --> 00:10:22,924
Get it? Because Max Planck is
279
00:10:22,927 --> 00:10:25,049
a famous physicist who
discovered a constant
280
00:10:25,052 --> 00:10:26,878
which is represented
by "H." And then he...
281
00:10:26,881 --> 00:10:29,065
If Georgie's kicked
out, can I have his room?
282
00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:30,589
We are not kicking Georgie out.
283
00:10:30,592 --> 00:10:32,027
You want to start this up again?
284
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:33,812
Or can we just be mad
at your mom and Dale?
285
00:10:33,815 --> 00:10:35,772
- And Georgie.
- Thank you. And Georgie.
286
00:10:35,775 --> 00:10:36,979
Let's just eat.
287
00:10:39,329 --> 00:10:42,291
So can anyone drop out or do
you need to be a certain age?
288
00:10:42,294 --> 00:10:43,870
You are not dropping out of school.
289
00:10:43,873 --> 00:10:46,656
Until you're 16... then
they legally can't stop you.
290
00:10:46,659 --> 00:10:47,815
Good to know.
291
00:10:47,818 --> 00:10:49,799
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
292
00:10:49,802 --> 00:10:51,700
What do you want me to do about it?
293
00:10:51,702 --> 00:10:54,138
I would encourage you to
love and nurture the one child
294
00:10:54,140 --> 00:10:56,444
you have who's destined for success.
295
00:10:56,446 --> 00:10:58,448
[knocking]
296
00:11:01,103 --> 00:11:03,409
Dale, it's for you!
297
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:04,690
What are you thinking?!
298
00:11:04,693 --> 00:11:06,221
I'm thinking I should've went home
299
00:11:06,224 --> 00:11:07,440
after your wife left.
300
00:11:07,443 --> 00:11:09,409
Georgie's only got one
more year of school,
301
00:11:09,412 --> 00:11:10,934
and then he can do whatever he wants.
302
00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:13,415
I don't want to come
between you and your family.
303
00:11:13,418 --> 00:11:14,541
Too late.
304
00:11:14,544 --> 00:11:16,620
Listen, I know you're upset,
305
00:11:16,623 --> 00:11:18,690
but the person you
ought to be yelling at
306
00:11:18,693 --> 00:11:20,541
is Georgie, not us.
307
00:11:20,544 --> 00:11:22,022
I yelled at him... it didn't help!
308
00:11:22,025 --> 00:11:23,557
Is this helping?
309
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,565
A little, yes.
310
00:11:25,568 --> 00:11:27,338
So I'm datin' a dropout?
311
00:11:27,341 --> 00:11:30,173
No, you're datin' a guy
with a full-time job.
312
00:11:30,176 --> 00:11:32,219
And your parents are okay with this?
313
00:11:32,221 --> 00:11:34,223
They'll come around.
314
00:11:35,224 --> 00:11:37,137
By the way, can I crash at your place?
315
00:11:37,139 --> 00:11:38,221
No!
316
00:11:38,224 --> 00:11:40,221
My father already doesn't
think you're good enough for me.
317
00:11:40,223 --> 00:11:41,962
And I don't want him to know he's right.
318
00:11:41,965 --> 00:11:43,225
He's not right!
319
00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:45,098
He might be a little right.
320
00:11:45,101 --> 00:11:47,674
I thought you'd be more supportive.
321
00:11:47,677 --> 00:11:49,979
And I thought we were
gonna be seniors together.
322
00:11:49,982 --> 00:11:52,412
Homecoming court, prom king and queen.
323
00:11:52,415 --> 00:11:54,588
Voted most likely to
stay together forever.
324
00:11:54,591 --> 00:11:56,166
We can still stay together.
325
00:11:56,169 --> 00:11:58,502
They can't vote for you
if you're not a senior!
326
00:12:01,816 --> 00:12:04,033
I don't think this is gonna work out.
327
00:12:04,035 --> 00:12:06,079
You're breakin' up with me?
328
00:12:06,081 --> 00:12:08,516
- Yeah.
- You're serious?
329
00:12:08,518 --> 00:12:10,433
I feel like I don't have a choice.
330
00:12:12,324 --> 00:12:14,611
Fine, as a workin' man I shouldn't be
331
00:12:14,614 --> 00:12:17,315
dating a girl in high school
anyway... it's immature.
332
00:12:18,291 --> 00:12:19,899
Just take me home.
333
00:12:19,902 --> 00:12:21,424
'Cause it's a school night?
334
00:12:21,427 --> 00:12:23,429
How cute.
335
00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:30,295
- Take me back.
- No.
336
00:12:30,298 --> 00:12:31,994
- Dang it.
- [phone ringing]
337
00:12:31,997 --> 00:12:33,799
This is Grant Linkletter.
338
00:12:33,802 --> 00:12:36,010
I'm not home, please leave a message.
339
00:12:36,013 --> 00:12:37,317
[machine beeps]
340
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,189
SHELDON: Dr. Linkletter, Sheldon Cooper.
341
00:12:39,192 --> 00:12:40,541
I haven't heard back from you.
342
00:12:40,544 --> 00:12:43,071
I hope everything went
well with Dr. Sturgis.
343
00:12:43,074 --> 00:12:46,023
Perhaps you two got caught
up discussing physics.
344
00:12:46,026 --> 00:12:48,339
Time does fly when you're having fun.
345
00:12:48,341 --> 00:12:50,384
So what does it all mean, John?
346
00:12:50,386 --> 00:12:52,182
Maybe you should ask someone
347
00:12:52,185 --> 00:12:54,751
who isn't drinking on a park bench.
348
00:12:54,754 --> 00:12:56,058
[both laugh]
349
00:12:56,061 --> 00:12:57,408
You work your whole life.
350
00:12:57,411 --> 00:13:00,018
It all seems so important
at the time, but is it?
351
00:13:00,021 --> 00:13:02,108
That's a good question.
352
00:13:02,111 --> 00:13:05,398
It puts me in mind of, uh, Camus'
353
00:13:05,401 --> 00:13:08,452
The Myth of Siphisus...
354
00:13:08,455 --> 00:13:09,776
Siphaphis...
355
00:13:09,779 --> 00:13:12,318
- Sisyphus.
- That's the guy.
356
00:13:12,321 --> 00:13:14,538
Every day
357
00:13:14,541 --> 00:13:17,065
he rolled the rock up the mountain,
358
00:13:17,068 --> 00:13:18,807
