00:00:02,253 --> 00:00:05,047
ADULT SHELDON: Since the 1970s,
home video games
2
00:00:05,131 --> 00:00:08,259
have been coveted by children
around the world.
3
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:11,137
I was not one
of those children.
4
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:12,972
What do you think?
I won it bowling.
5
00:00:13,055 --> 00:00:14,473
It was either that
or a Crock-Pot,
6
00:00:14,557 --> 00:00:15,891
and I already got
three of those,
7
00:00:15,975 --> 00:00:18,310
so I thought I'd surprise you.
8
00:00:18,394 --> 00:00:20,938
No, thank you.
Video games are for children.
9
00:00:21,022 --> 00:00:24,025
Sheldon, you are a child.
10
00:00:24,108 --> 00:00:26,944
I just blew the hot
off your SpaghettiOs.
11
00:00:27,028 --> 00:00:28,154
I'm sorry, Meemaw.
12
00:00:28,237 --> 00:00:29,631
I just don't think
it's a very productive
13
00:00:29,655 --> 00:00:30,990
use of my time.
14
00:00:31,073 --> 00:00:33,743
You're a man of science.
Aren't you interested
15
00:00:33,826 --> 00:00:36,912
in doing a little research here?
16
00:00:38,831 --> 00:00:41,125
"Brave adventurer,
prepare to enter a world
17
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:42,668
beyond your imagination,
18
00:00:42,752 --> 00:00:45,072
where the only sound you'll
hear is your own heart pounding
19
00:00:45,129 --> 00:00:46,756
as you race through
the dark woods."
20
00:00:46,839 --> 00:00:49,467
- This sounds terrifying.
- Really?
21
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:51,343
You don't even want to try it?
22
00:00:51,427 --> 00:00:54,138
Honestly, I'd have more fun
with the Crock-Pot.
23
00:00:55,264 --> 00:00:58,476
Fine. I'll just
play by myself.
24
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:00,686
- That's amusing.
- Why?
25
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:03,981
I guess it's the juxtaposition
of an old person
26
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:06,609
using new technology.
It tickles me.
27
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,237
What if this old person
really tickles you?
28
00:01:10,321 --> 00:01:11,781
[laughing]
I'll play! I'll play!
29
00:01:11,864 --> 00:01:14,742
♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪
30
00:01:14,825 --> 00:01:17,578
♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain ♪
31
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:20,122
♪ I bet I could be your hero ♪
32
00:01:20,206 --> 00:01:22,500

♪ I am a mighty little man ♪
34
00:01:35,346 --> 00:01:37,181
I'm not getting
any younger.
35
00:01:37,723 --> 00:01:40,101
I have to read the
instructions first.
36
00:01:40,184 --> 00:01:43,437
Did you know this document
gives us specific legal rights?
37
00:01:43,521 --> 00:01:46,690
We may also have other rights
which vary from state to state?
38
00:01:46,774 --> 00:01:48,317
I did not.
39
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:51,028
Well, now you do.
40
00:01:51,946 --> 00:01:53,989
- All right, I'm ready.
- Great!
41
00:01:54,073 --> 00:01:56,325
To read the
manufacturer's warranty.
42
00:01:56,408 --> 00:01:59,411
Oh, you're killing me.
43
00:02:10,923 --> 00:02:13,551
Hey, George. How y'all been?
44
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:16,470
Good, good. Hey, you fixed
your place up. Looking snazzy.
45
00:02:16,554 --> 00:02:18,639
Ah, thanks. Even got
a new water cooler.
46
00:02:18,722 --> 00:02:22,643
It's got those pointy cups,
look like Madonna's bra.
47
00:02:22,726 --> 00:02:24,687
[chuckling]
48
00:02:25,604 --> 00:02:27,273
So, what's going on
with your truck,
49
00:02:27,356 --> 00:02:31,485
other than the fact
that it's got 130,000 miles on it?
50
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:34,238
She's been running hot.
I'm worried I need a new radiator.
51
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:37,158
As your friend and neighbor,
I hope not,
52
00:02:37,241 --> 00:02:40,286
but as a businessman,
that'd be pretty sweet.
53
00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:42,621
It could just be the thermostat
not opening right.
54
00:02:43,289 --> 00:02:44,665
That is correct.
55
00:02:44,748 --> 00:02:45,958
How'd you know that?
56
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:47,459
I took auto repair last year.
57
00:02:47,543 --> 00:02:49,128
And you actually paid attention?
58
00:02:49,211 --> 00:02:51,589
I'm as surprised as you are.
59
00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:56,635
Now we need to put in
a name before we start.
60
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:58,679
What are you thinking?
61
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:00,931
We should combine
the letters in our two names,
62
00:03:01,015 --> 00:03:02,600
Sheldon and Meemaw.
63
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:05,477
Like, uh... ShelMaw?
64
00:03:05,561 --> 00:03:08,772
No, using all the
letters, like...
65
00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:10,774
Emelda Showmen.
66
00:03:11,442 --> 00:03:13,402
Did you just do that
in your head?
67
00:03:13,485 --> 00:03:14,695
Yes, why?
68
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:17,698
Never mind. Just put it down.
69
00:03:20,993 --> 00:03:22,745
All right, here we go.
70
00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:24,205
I thought I was playing.
71
00:03:24,288 --> 00:03:26,707
You don't know how to play.
You didn't read the manual.
72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,710
You're in charge, Emelda.
73
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:31,378
Thank you.
74
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,340
Should I go left or right?
75
00:03:35,633 --> 00:03:37,551
Why don't you try going
in that cave?
76
00:03:37,635 --> 00:03:40,221
Why would I do that?
It's probably dangerous.
77
00:03:40,304 --> 00:03:41,990
Sheldon, they wouldn't
have put the cave there
78
00:03:42,014 --> 00:03:43,891
if they didn't
want you to go in it.
79
00:03:43,974 --> 00:03:46,393
Seems unnecessarily
reckless, but okay.
80
00:03:50,105 --> 00:03:51,273
Dark and dangerous.
81
00:03:51,357 --> 00:03:52,399
I told you.
82
00:03:52,483 --> 00:03:54,401
Just keep going.
83
00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:58,739
The box was right.
My heart is pounding.
84
00:03:59,865 --> 00:04:01,784
All right, good news.
85
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:03,577
Tell me.
86
00:04:03,661 --> 00:04:06,038
Well, the kid was right.
87
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:07,373
It's just the thermostat.
88
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:11,001
Yeah, yeah.
So how long to fix it?
89
00:04:11,085 --> 00:04:13,128
- Nothing, 20 minutes.
- Can I help?
90
00:04:13,212 --> 00:04:16,298
Well, sure. Grab yourself a pair
of coveralls and have at it.
91
00:04:16,382 --> 00:04:17,549
Thanks.
92
00:04:18,676 --> 00:04:19,677
Really?
93
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,971
I'm paying you
so my own son can fix my truck?
94
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:23,931
Well, we could have
my son do it,
95
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:27,142
but we know how
that's gonna end.
96
00:04:28,894 --> 00:04:30,104
MEEMAW:
What are you doing?
97
00:04:30,187 --> 00:04:31,647
- Kill him!
- I'm trying!
98
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:33,190
Well, what's
the problem?
99
00:04:33,274 --> 00:04:34,900
I seem to have weak thumbs.
100
00:04:34,984 --> 00:04:36,277
Pause it.
101
00:04:38,529 --> 00:04:39,905
I'm a little winded.
102
00:04:39,989 --> 00:04:42,324
Why don't you let the old person
give it a shot?
103
00:04:42,408 --> 00:04:44,952
Would you like me to give
you a tutorial first?
104
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:47,746
Give it to me.
I'll figure it out.
105
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:50,082
We are such different
people, Meemaw.
106
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:52,251
Thank you.
107
00:04:57,589 --> 00:05:00,009
Die, you sumbitches, die!
108
00:05:00,092 --> 00:05:02,970
- Very different people.
- Die, you sumbitches!
109
00:05:04,555 --> 00:05:07,683
When I grow up, will I be
a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader?
110
00:05:08,726 --> 00:05:11,353
"Not likely." Darn it.
111
00:05:11,437 --> 00:05:12,688
Did you tell her?
112
00:05:12,771 --> 00:05:13,981
Why don't you tell her?
113
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:15,399
Tell me what?
114
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:17,276
Herschel offered me
a part-time job.
115
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:19,278
Really?
116
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:22,573
Between that and football practice,
when would you do your homework?
117
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:23,782
When does he do it?
118
00:05:24,575 --> 00:05:26,118
Are you okay with this?
119
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:27,828
Yeah, I think it'd
be good for him.
120
00:05:27,911 --> 00:05:31,498
I don't know, I think his
education should come first.
121
00:05:31,582 --> 00:05:33,459
Come on, Mom. It's not like
I'm gonna graduate
122
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:35,252
"val-dictator-torian."
123
00:05:36,378 --> 00:05:37,421
You heard him.
124
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:39,006
[sighs]
125
00:05:39,089 --> 00:05:41,383
Fine, but I want you here
for dinner every night,
126
00:05:41,467 --> 00:05:43,594
and if your grades slip,
you are done.
127
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,679
- Thank you.
- Now go wash up.
128
00:05:45,763 --> 00:05:47,973
And don't get grease
all over my towels.
129
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,643
He really did know his stuff
at the shop. It was impressive.
130
00:05:51,727 --> 00:05:54,605
All right, well,
maybe it'll be a good thing.
131
00:05:56,065 --> 00:05:58,817
How about a Houston
Oilers cheerleader?
132
00:05:58,901 --> 00:06:02,363
"Signs point to yes."
I'm gonna marry a quarterback.
133
00:06:02,446 --> 00:06:04,698
[sighs]
134
00:06:10,621 --> 00:06:11,973
ADULT SHELDON:
Over the next few days,
135
00:06:11,997 --> 00:06:13,248
I ran to my meemaw's house
136
00:06:13,332 --> 00:06:15,209
so we could save
the 8-bit princess.
137
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,503
And if it's unclear
how important this was,
138
00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:20,255
let me say it again: I ran.
139
00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:22,692
Right behind you,
monster, monster!
140
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:23,884
I see him!
141
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:26,095
You're losing life points,
do something!
142
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:28,097
Calm down, I've got this.
143
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:29,240
No, no, no,
you're going to die!
144
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:30,904
We're going to have
to restart this level!
145
00:06:32,518 --> 00:06:34,770
Okay, we need to set
a few ground rules.
146
00:06:34,853 --> 00:06:35,938
Rules, love 'em.
147
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:38,148
Mazes, puzzles,
panic attacks,
148
00:06:38,232 --> 00:06:39,525
you're in charge.
149
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:43,320
Whooping monster butt,
that's my purview.
150
00:06:43,404 --> 00:06:44,780
Understood.
However...
151
00:06:44,863 --> 00:06:47,199
Excuse me. Is there
a monster on that screen?
152
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:48,409
Yes, ma'am.
153
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:51,495
And can two players
swing the magic sword?
154
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:53,372
- No.
- So...
155
00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:54,998
what does that mean
as we go forward?
156
00:06:55,874 --> 00:06:57,251
I have to shut my yap.
157
00:06:57,793 --> 00:06:59,503
Attaboy.
158
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:02,381
Can I still have
a panic attack?
159
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:04,425
If you do it quietly.
160
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,386
[game beeping]
161
00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:08,887
[whoops]
162
00:07:09,638 --> 00:07:11,098
[laughs]
163
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:12,891
No, no, no.
164
00:07:12,975 --> 00:07:16,103
So me and Herschel dropped
the engine on this Pacer today.
165
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:18,021
It was so cool.
166
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:20,524
I had a buddy in high school
had a Pacer
167
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,484
with the flames
painted on the side,
168
00:07:22,568 --> 00:07:24,488
which was funny 'cause
the damn thing caught fire
169
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:26,447
during the Homecoming parade.
170
00:07:26,530 --> 00:07:27,757
Too bad he didn't know Herschel.
171
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:30,534
He can fix anything.
Guy's a genius.
172
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:33,495
You mean
a car genius.
173
00:07:33,579 --> 00:07:36,165
Is Dad getting his
feelings hurt?
174
00:07:36,248 --> 00:07:37,624
"Yes."
175
00:07:38,208 --> 00:07:40,127
The ball don't lie.
176
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:42,254
Sorry!
177
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:43,589
MEEMAW:

on this health kick.
352
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:03,672
You are melting away.
353
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:06,257
Shut up. So, listen...
354
00:16:07,217 --> 00:16:10,595
I feel bad about Georgie
and this whole football thing.
355
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:12,389
Thanks, but it's not on you.
356
00:16:12,973 --> 00:16:16,017
I appreciate that,
but you got to know
357
00:16:16,101 --> 00:16:17,852
there's an upside to this.
358
00:16:17,936 --> 00:16:19,312
And that would be?
359
00:16:19,396 --> 00:16:23,441
Your son has got a special gift.
360
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:25,402
A gift?
361
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:26,903
We are talking
about Georgie, right?
362
00:16:26,987 --> 00:16:29,906
Yeah. I mean, first off,
the kid really knows his way
363
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:32,909
around an engine,
which is all well and good.
364
00:16:32,993 --> 00:16:36,246
But when it comes
to fixing tires,
365
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:40,250
I swear, I've never seen
anything like him.
366
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:42,293
Tires? How do you mean?
367
00:16:42,377 --> 00:16:45,338
George, I've been patching flats
for 25 years.
368
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:47,257
You know,
slap some soapy water on them,
369
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:48,883
look for
the air bubble.
370
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:53,471
But your son,
he doesn't need any tricks.
371
00:16:53,555 --> 00:16:56,307
He knows
where the puncture holes are.
372
00:16:56,391 --> 00:16:57,475
He knows?
373
00:16:58,351 --> 00:16:59,769
He knows.
374
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:02,856
He's got a sixth sense
for tire damage.
375
00:17:02,939 --> 00:17:04,333
I mean,
you got to see him in action.
376
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:06,526
It... it'll give you chills.
377
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:07,809
You know, now that you say it,
378
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:09,195
whenever we had
a leaky football,
379
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:11,197
he knew exactly
where the hole was.
380
00:17:11,281 --> 00:17:14,909
I am telling you, your boy's
got a future in the tire business.
381
00:17:14,993 --> 00:17:18,788
Goodyear, Firestone, somebody's
gonna scoop him up first round.
382
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:20,915
Thanks, Herschel.
383
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:22,292
That does my heart good.
384
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:25,045
So I guess you got two geniuses
in the family.
385
00:17:25,128 --> 00:17:26,629
Guess I do.
386
00:17:27,464 --> 00:17:29,758
Who knows,
maybe Missy'll make it three.
387
00:17:30,842 --> 00:17:32,635
Or it's two.
388
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:34,262
[both laugh]
389
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:47,650
I won. I saved the princess.
390
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:50,403
I knew you could do it!
391
00:17:50,487 --> 00:17:52,530
Yes! We saved her!
392
00:17:52,614 --> 00:17:54,407
We saved the princess!
We did it!
393
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:56,576
- We did it.
- Yep.
394
00:17:56,659 --> 00:17:59,412

[music stops]
396
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,751
So now what?
397
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:07,253
We just return
to our ordinary lives?
398
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,048
I guess so.
399
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:17,889
Or... we could just go to
the store and buy another game.

I've battled orcs, zombies,

Nazis, Nazi-zombies,
a dinosaur in a go-kart,
402
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:29,526

"Hot for Teacher"

to that first quest
with my Meemaw.

407
00:18:38,952 --> 00:18:42,247
doing Dance Dance Revolution
was a close second.
