00:06:41,594 --> 00:06:45,000
Hey. I just wanted to check in
180
00:06:45,002 --> 00:06:47,363
and see how Sheldon's doing.
181
00:06:47,365 --> 00:06:49,899
He'll be fine. It's
just a little fracture.
182
00:06:49,901 --> 00:06:51,968
Oh. Poor kid.
183
00:06:51,970 --> 00:06:55,740
Please know we feel terrible.
184
00:06:55,742 --> 00:06:57,543
Eh, accidents happen.
185
00:06:57,545 --> 00:06:59,709

187

insurance covers everything, right?
188
00:07:05,183 --> 00:07:07,851
If you're worried about me
sending you a bill, don't be.
189
00:07:07,853 --> 00:07:09,220
Wasn't worried.
190
00:07:09,222 --> 00:07:12,152
I just wanted to bring you
some food as a peace offering
191
00:07:12,154 --> 00:07:14,758
and promise it will never happen again.
192
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,893
Well, thanks.
193
00:07:16,895 --> 00:07:18,796
Ooh, fried chicken.
194
00:07:20,966 --> 00:07:23,300

could have a big heart.

If only that were true of her brain.

00:07:36,448 --> 00:07:37,815
That's the wrong "your".

00:07:37,817 --> 00:07:38,951
What are you talking about?
202
00:07:38,953 --> 00:07:41,017
It's supposed to be Y-O-U-R.
203
00:07:41,019 --> 00:07:43,953
What you wrote means, "I
hope you are arm gets better".
204
00:07:43,955 --> 00:07:45,655
Oh.
205
00:07:45,657 --> 00:07:48,292
You defaced my body
with a grammatical error.
206
00:07:48,294 --> 00:07:51,029
I guess that's your problem. Y-O-U-R.
207
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:58,968
Left-handed knocking. Wild.

- GEORGE JR.: What?
209

You're left-handed. Now
that I've joined your ranks,
210
00:08:04,707 --> 00:08:07,243
I was wondering if you
could tell me what to expect.
211
00:08:07,245 --> 00:08:09,679
I don't know. To me, it's just normal.
212
00:08:09,681 --> 00:08:11,948
But the vast majority of
people are right-handed.
213
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,751
There must be some challenges.
214
00:08:14,918 --> 00:08:16,819
It's hard to cut stuff with scissors.
215
00:08:16,821 --> 00:08:18,688
Mom handles most of my cutting needs.
216
00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:21,624
Uh, when you shake hands,
it's the wrong hand.
217
00:08:21,626 --> 00:08:24,061
I don't shake hands. It's disgusting.
218
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:26,863
Oh! When driving,
219
00:08:26,865 --> 00:08:28,331
the gear shifter's on the right side.
220
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:30,433
And I'm not old enough to drive.
221
00:08:30,435 --> 00:08:31,999
Being a lefty doesn't seem so bad.
222
00:08:32,001 --> 00:08:34,102
I don't know why you complain so much.
223
00:08:38,009 --> 00:08:40,243
Don't worry, baby.
224
00:08:40,245 --> 00:08:42,879
I cut everything into
bite-size pieces for you.
225
00:08:42,881 --> 00:08:45,016
Maybe you could chew it up
and spit it in his mouth.
226
00:08:45,018 --> 00:08:47,386
- Please?
- Let's just say grace.
227
00:08:51,890 --> 00:08:53,857
Will you two help him with his mittens?
228
00:08:53,859 --> 00:08:55,258
Maybe he doesn't wear them.
229
00:08:55,260 --> 00:08:56,726
Then I'm not holding hands.
230
00:08:56,728 --> 00:08:58,529
We ain't got to hold hands? Sweet.
231
00:08:58,531 --> 00:09:01,096
- I like when we hold hands.
- We are holding hands.
232
00:09:01,098 --> 00:09:02,304
Let's go. Mittens.
233
00:09:02,306 --> 00:09:03,804
- Fine.
- Fine.
234
00:09:03,806 --> 00:09:05,807

235
00:09:05,809 --> 00:09:06,936
I'm doing it gently.
236
00:09:06,938 --> 00:09:08,669
Well, your tone suggests otherwise.
237
00:09:08,671 --> 00:09:09,904
Just give me your hand.
238
00:09:11,602 --> 00:09:12,836
Gently.
239

(SIGHS) There.
240
00:09:18,777 --> 00:09:21,384
Bless us, Lord, for the food
we are about to receive,
241
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:22,869
and bless the hands that prepared it.
242
00:09:22,871 --> 00:09:26,055
And bless Sheldon's arm
to heal strong and quick.

357
00:13:47,624 --> 00:13:49,657
Well, I don't like that.
358
00:13:49,659 --> 00:13:53,194
I get it, but I just don't like it.
359
00:13:53,196 --> 00:13:57,328
Well, I'd point out, you'll
always have your husband,
360
00:13:57,353 --> 00:14:00,389
but you want me to be "helpful".
361
00:14:02,649 --> 00:14:06,317
Johannes Diderik van der Waals.
362
00:14:06,342 --> 00:14:09,548
Nils Gustaf Dalén.
363
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:11,583
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes.
364
00:14:11,585 --> 00:14:13,047
What are you going?
365
00:14:13,049 --> 00:14:15,650
Listing Nobel Prize winners in physics.
366
00:14:15,652 --> 00:14:17,085
Why?
367
00:14:17,087 --> 00:14:19,321
To keep me from cracking
this cast like a coconut
368
00:14:19,323 --> 00:14:21,322
and scratching my skin off.
369
00:14:21,324 --> 00:14:23,124
I need Mom to sing "Soft Kitty".
370
00:14:23,126 --> 00:14:24,692
Don't do it.
371
00:14:24,694 --> 00:14:26,027
Why?
372
00:14:26,029 --> 00:14:27,528
You're being a baby again.
373
00:14:27,530 --> 00:14:28,729
But I'm injured.
374
00:14:28,731 --> 00:14:31,132
Big deal. You broke your arm.
375
00:14:31,134 --> 00:14:33,301
Look at Stephen Hawking over there.
376
00:14:33,303 --> 00:14:35,270
He's in a wheelchair.
377
00:14:35,272 --> 00:14:37,907
You don't hear him whining
about it with his robot voice.
378
00:14:40,443 --> 00:14:43,227
So you're saying he and
I are brilliant minds
379
00:14:43,229 --> 00:14:46,281
who have both suffered
great physical adversity.
380
00:14:46,283 --> 00:14:48,382
That's not even close
to what I'm saying.
381
00:14:48,384 --> 00:14:49,750
Well, that's what I heard.
382
00:14:49,752 --> 00:14:52,887
And if Hawking doesn't let it stop him,
383
00:14:52,889 --> 00:14:55,056
then I can't let this cast stop me.
384
00:14:55,058 --> 00:14:56,590
Great. Go back to sleep.
385
00:14:56,592 --> 00:14:59,594
I will, and I'll do it all by myself.

392

(GROANS) What?
393
00:15:32,128 --> 00:15:33,775
I slept through the night.

ADULT SHELDON: My sister's crankiness
did not dampen my enthusiasm.
398
00:15:43,606 --> 00:15:46,019
A chicken may have fractured my arm,
399
00:15:46,021 --> 00:15:48,455
but nothing could
break my can-do spirit.

All in the bowl, none on me.

I call that a successful urination.

Watch out, peanut butter. You're next.
407
00:16:06,396 --> 00:16:07,863
Who would like to tell us
408
00:16:07,865 --> 00:16:09,864
how God touched their lives this week?
409
00:16:10,275 --> 00:16:11,499
Sheldon.
410
00:16:11,501 --> 00:16:13,567
He didn't, because He doesn't exist.
411
00:16:13,569 --> 00:16:15,202
Then why raise your hand?
412
00:16:15,204 --> 00:16:17,113
Not just any hand. My left hand.
413
00:16:17,115 --> 00:16:19,473
Because I'm able to
overcome any obstacle.
414
00:16:19,475 --> 00:16:21,208
And maybe God helped you do that.
415
00:16:21,210 --> 00:16:22,746
Actually, it was Stephen Hawking,
416
00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:24,645
and he's better because he exists.
417
00:16:24,647 --> 00:16:27,281
Yes, 'cause God made him. Anybody else?
418
00:16:27,283 --> 00:16:29,717
- Billy.
- Is this gonna be on the test?
419
00:16:29,719 --> 00:16:31,185
Oh, boy.
420
00:16:31,187 --> 00:16:32,421
ADULT SHELDON: I took a moment
421
00:16:32,423 --> 00:16:35,600
to reflect on my journey
of the last two weeks.
422
00:16:35,625 --> 00:16:40,828
Such emotional growth was worthy
of a majestic bubble beard.

425
00:16:46,733 --> 00:16:49,370
This was a time I'd want to remember.
426
00:16:49,372 --> 00:16:51,505
Dad, will you sign my cast?
427
00:16:52,442 --> 00:16:53,475
Sure.
428
00:16:56,615 --> 00:16:59,850
And if you have any grammar
questions, please ask first.
429
00:17:00,016 --> 00:17:01,358
(SIGHS)
430
00:17:04,587 --> 00:17:07,589
"Have a great summer. Georgie".
431
00:17:08,740 --> 00:17:10,708
Normally I'd write,
"Have a bitchin' summer",
432
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:12,158
but I figured you wouldn't like that.
433
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,427
I wouldn't.

00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:15,062

00:17:26,976 --> 00:17:30,711
but I'm so proud of the

ADULT SHELDON: The
next day, I got my cast off.
445
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:49,333
In a world where I valued symmetry,
446
00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:50,644
I was relieved to see
447
00:17:50,646 --> 00:17:53,913
that both my arms were
as pale and skinny as ever.
448
00:17:54,192 --> 00:17:58,360
But this Texan had unfinished
business to tend to.
449
00:17:58,362 --> 00:17:59,761
Want me to get you started?
450
00:17:59,763 --> 00:18:01,998
No, I can do it.
451
00:18:06,337 --> 00:18:08,570
ADULT SHELDON: And I did do it.
452
00:18:08,572 --> 00:18:11,833
I rode my bike without
training wheels like an adult.
453
00:18:11,833 --> 00:18:13,234
It would take more than a chicken
454
00:18:13,236 --> 00:18:15,718
or the threat of a
fractured bone to scare me.
455
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,355
It would take a brown
beast named Scraps.
