Young Sheldon...

2
00:00:03,922 --> 00:00:05,632
Your brother is gonna have a baby.

3
00:00:05,715 --> 00:00:06,758
Are they getting married?

4
00:00:06,841 --> 00:00:08,968
It would be better for them
and better for the baby.

5
00:00:09,052 --> 00:00:10,052
And better for you

6
00:00:10,094 --> 00:00:11,947
so your church friends
don't get bent out of shape.

7
00:00:11,971 --> 00:00:14,098
If you ever need anything, call me.

8
00:00:14,182 --> 00:00:16,035
I've already been through this
with my daughter,

9
00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:18,228
so, I know how to do it wrong.

10
00:00:19,729 --> 00:00:20,897
Thanks.

11
00:00:20,980 --> 00:00:23,316
I'm worried that
if he doesn't marry this girl,

12
00:00:24,025 --> 00:00:25,944
<i>the congregation's gonna turn on me.</i>

13
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:29,781
Hey, Joan, just wanted to make sure
that you knew Bible study was today.

14
00:00:30,406 --> 00:00:32,367
Susan, just making sure
everything's okay

15
00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:33,730
since you're not at Bible study.

16
00:00:34,244 --> 00:00:37,163
Of course. No problem. I understand.

17
00:00:37,247 --> 00:00:39,040
Hey, it's Mary.

18
00:00:39,457 --> 00:00:40,917
Do you have time to talk?

19
00:00:41,376 --> 00:00:43,711
For you, always.

20
00:00:49,842 --> 00:00:51,469
- Hey.
- Hi.

21
00:00:51,553 --> 00:00:53,304
Thank you for meetin' with me.

22
00:00:53,388 --> 00:00:55,014
No problem. I got you coffee.

23
00:00:55,098 --> 00:00:56,891
You seemed upset, so,

24
00:00:56,975 --> 00:00:59,227
donut holes,
which I love if you don't want 'em.

25
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:01,439
- I'm good with coffee.
- Okay.

26
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:04,941
- So, what's goin' on?
- Well...

27
00:01:07,026 --> 00:01:10,405
All the things that I was afraid of
are happenin'.

28
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:13,074
Ever since word got out about Georgie,

29
00:01:13,157 --> 00:01:15,994
everyone at my Bible study canceled.

30
00:01:16,077 --> 00:01:18,288
Well, first of all, that sucks,
and I'm sorry.

31
00:01:19,372 --> 00:01:20,516
I also can't say I'm surprised.

32
00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:22,180
This is the part of religion
I don't like.

33
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,044
I know Georgie made a mistake,

34
00:01:25,128 --> 00:01:28,298
but I thought, as Christians,
we're supposed to forgive.

35
00:01:30,633 --> 00:01:32,343
Well, I'm gonna ask you
a tricky question.

36
00:01:33,052 --> 00:01:36,598
If this were happening
to someone else in the congregation,

37
00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:38,683
how would you respond?

38
00:01:44,897 --> 00:01:45,898
Good choice.

39
00:01:46,441 --> 00:01:47,442
That will help.

40
00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:51,069
Mmm.

41
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:03,291
What's going on?

42
00:02:03,374 --> 00:02:06,094
What's going on is people are talking
about my brother behind my back

43
00:02:06,169 --> 00:02:07,670
instead of saying it to my face.

44
00:02:08,087 --> 00:02:09,631
She's talking about Georgie, not me.

45
00:02:09,714 --> 00:02:12,354
People talk about me behind my back,
but it's about how smart I am.

46
00:02:12,842 --> 00:02:14,302
I'll say it to your face.

47
00:02:15,094 --> 00:02:16,554
Your brother's going to hell.

48
00:02:16,929 --> 00:02:17,972
No, he's not.

49
00:02:18,306 --> 00:02:20,058
Primarily because hell isn't real.

50
00:02:20,141 --> 00:02:22,935
My mom said they should kick
your whole family out of the church.

51
00:02:23,019 --> 00:02:24,729
How about I kick your ass?

52
00:02:24,812 --> 00:02:26,230
I'd like to see you try.

53
00:02:27,523 --> 00:02:28,524
How about I help her?

54
00:02:28,941 --> 00:02:30,652
How about I could get Pastor Rob?

55
00:02:31,194 --> 00:02:33,863
Say one more thing about my family
and see what happens.

56
00:02:34,447 --> 00:02:36,115
Y'all are white trash.

57
00:02:36,532 --> 00:02:37,909
Whoa! What's going on here?

58
00:03:02,517 --> 00:03:03,911
Pastor Rob should be here any minute.

59
00:03:03,935 --> 00:03:05,037
Maybe if he was in the classroom

60
00:03:05,061 --> 00:03:06,747
when he was supposed to be,
none of this would've happened.

61
00:03:06,771 --> 00:03:09,524
You can't blame him
for Missy punchin' someone.

62
00:03:09,607 --> 00:03:12,086
If he was there to shut that kid up,
Missy wouldn't have had to.

63
00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:14,946
Sunday School is no place for violence.

64
00:03:15,029 --> 00:03:16,531
The boy's parents are very upset.

65
00:03:16,614 --> 00:03:18,825
- Yeah, well, so am I.
- Sorry I'm late.

66
00:03:20,326 --> 00:03:21,327
Hi.

67
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:23,996
I'm Rob. Nice to meet you.

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,124
Wish it were under better circumstances.

69
00:03:26,207 --> 00:03:27,959
Oh, that's right, you haven't met.

70
00:03:28,042 --> 00:03:30,837
No. But I've seen you around.

71
00:03:32,755 --> 00:03:35,425
So, shall we get
to the business at hand?

72
00:03:35,842 --> 00:03:39,804
Obviously, we're mortified
by Missy's behavior.

73
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:41,865
Even though it sounds
like that punk had it comin'.

74
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:44,392
While his words were out of line,

75
00:03:44,475 --> 00:03:46,394
it brings us to the bigger issue.

76
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:50,231
Which is...
people are talking about Georgie.

77
00:03:50,732 --> 00:03:52,608
Bunch of holy rollers with no lives.

78
00:03:52,692 --> 00:03:55,862
Well, we are a tight-knit community,
and sometimes that means

79
00:03:55,945 --> 00:03:58,197
what happens to one of us
affects all of us.

80
00:03:58,281 --> 00:04:00,241
Whether it's their business or not.

81
00:04:00,324 --> 00:04:04,078
As... As Pastor Rob helped me realize
if I were in their shoes,

82
00:04:04,162 --> 00:04:06,748
I would have been judgmental myself.

83
00:04:06,831 --> 00:04:09,834
Well, it's a mess,
and something needs to be done.

84
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:12,336
I'm glad to hear you say that,
because I was thinkin'

85
00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:14,964
that maybe you could give a sermon

86
00:04:15,047 --> 00:04:17,675
remindin' the congregation
what Jesus said

87
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:21,429
about um, judgment and forgiveness.

88
00:04:21,512 --> 00:04:23,097
Make it a teaching moment. I like it.

89
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:24,932
That's a way to go.

90
00:04:25,433 --> 00:04:28,227
But I was thinkin',

91
00:04:28,311 --> 00:04:30,438
you've got a lot going on right now.

92
00:04:30,521 --> 00:04:33,733
Maybe take some time off,
focus on things at home.

93
00:04:34,859 --> 00:04:36,986
Hold on. Are you firing her?

94
00:04:37,361 --> 00:04:38,362
No, no.

95
00:04:38,446 --> 00:04:41,866
Just a little leave of absence
till things settle down.

96
00:04:42,492 --> 00:04:44,035
Is that really necessary?

97
00:04:44,118 --> 00:04:45,369
I believe it is.

98
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,831
As leaders of this church,
we are held to a higher standard.

99
00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:54,253
Are you asking us to leave the church?

100
00:04:54,337 --> 00:04:55,797
Of course not.

101
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,360
Y'all talk a big game about community

102
00:04:57,423 --> 00:05:00,259
and then you turn your back
when things get a little messy.

103
00:05:00,343 --> 00:05:01,844
Okay, let's just take a breath.

104
00:05:01,928 --> 00:05:04,555
You do that.
We're leavin'. Come on, Mary.

105
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,307
George, let's talk this through.

106
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:07,600
I've heard enough.

107
00:05:08,226 --> 00:05:09,393
I'll be in the truck.

108
00:05:14,607 --> 00:05:16,317
There must be another way.

109
00:05:19,904 --> 00:05:25,535
It's all right. I'll, um...
clean out my office.

110
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:34,961
Movies lie.
Punching people hurts.

111
00:05:35,044 --> 00:05:36,838
Try being the punchee.

112
00:05:39,715 --> 00:05:42,051
- What happened to you?
- Nothin'.

113
00:05:42,134 --> 00:05:43,779
She hit a boy in the face
at Sunday School.

114
00:05:43,803 --> 00:05:46,973
- Why?
- He was saying crap about our family.

115
00:05:47,765 --> 00:05:49,100
Is this about me and Mandy?

116
00:05:50,935 --> 00:05:53,646
- Yeah.
- You can't go around hittin' people.

117
00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:54,897
I had to do somethin'.

118
00:05:54,981 --> 00:05:56,732
- Me too.
- What did you do?

119
00:05:56,816 --> 00:05:58,651
I ran and told the nearest adult.

120
00:05:58,734 --> 00:06:00,528
I don't want you
gettin' in trouble for me.

121
00:06:00,736 --> 00:06:02,572
But Danny says
you're going to hell.

122
00:06:02,738 --> 00:06:04,156
I'm there now.

123
00:06:05,825 --> 00:06:06,868
Promise me.

124
00:06:08,536 --> 00:06:09,537
Fine.

125
00:06:10,371 --> 00:06:11,998
And I know you ain't hittin' nobody.

126
00:06:12,081 --> 00:06:13,541
You're correct, sir.

127
00:06:18,004 --> 00:06:19,130
Can we talk?

128
00:06:19,964 --> 00:06:22,717
Of course. Come in.

129
00:06:23,968 --> 00:06:25,928
So I told my folks about the baby.

130
00:06:26,512 --> 00:06:27,430
And?

131
00:06:27,513 --> 00:06:30,474
They told me I'm on my own.
They want nothin' to do with me.

132
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:32,101
Sorry.

133
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,855
Give it a minute,
they still might come around.

134
00:06:36,105 --> 00:06:38,545
I don't even get to the part
where the father is 17 years old.

135
00:06:38,858 --> 00:06:40,693
Something fun for next time.

136
00:06:46,365 --> 00:06:48,159
Just join a new church, Mary.

137
00:06:48,242 --> 00:06:49,785
We're not joinin' another church.

138
00:06:49,869 --> 00:06:52,955
Seriously? After what we just
went through, you want to go back there?

139
00:06:53,289 --> 00:06:54,832
I don't know.

140
00:06:54,916 --> 00:06:57,877
If we're switching religions,
may I recommend Judaism?

141
00:06:58,336 --> 00:06:59,337
Why?

142
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:02,256
Both William Shatner
and Leonard Nimoy are Jewish.

143
00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:05,051
- So?
- Isn't that enough?

144
00:07:05,676 --> 00:07:08,888
When Mary told me she was pregnant,

145
00:07:08,971 --> 00:07:11,766
I reacted pretty much the same way
that your folks did.

146
00:07:11,849 --> 00:07:13,392
Not my finest moment.

147
00:07:13,476 --> 00:07:16,520
Let me guess, they got married
and suddenly you were okay with it.

148
00:07:16,604 --> 00:07:20,274
Hell no, I didn't want my daughter
to marry that fat, dumb ass.

149
00:07:21,025 --> 00:07:22,318
I shouldn't have said that.

150
00:07:22,777 --> 00:07:24,111
He got fat later.

151
00:07:24,195 --> 00:07:28,074
I'd laugh, but my mom gained 70 pounds
when she had my little brother.

152
00:07:29,325 --> 00:07:30,618
But I'll tell you somethin'.

153
00:07:31,911 --> 00:07:35,331
Georgie is gonna be there for you,
whether you like it or not.

154
00:07:35,414 --> 00:07:37,541
You may not know,
but your feet are gonna swell up.

155
00:07:37,625 --> 00:07:40,169
And your boobs.
I'll rub whatever you need rubbed.

156
00:07:41,170 --> 00:07:42,546
I'm gettin' that impression.

157
00:07:45,466 --> 00:07:47,426
What are you doing? Go to your room.

158
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:50,012
- She's fine, Mary.
- She needs to be punished.

159
00:07:50,096 --> 00:07:51,514
For what? Stickin' up for us?

160
00:07:51,597 --> 00:07:54,308
She punched a boy in church.

161
00:07:54,392 --> 00:07:55,643
I'll just go to my room.

162
00:07:55,726 --> 00:07:57,406
Hey, don't you move.
What are you watchin'?

163
00:07:57,603 --> 00:07:58,604
MTV.

164
00:07:58,688 --> 00:08:00,523
- Watch MTV.
- George.

165
00:08:00,606 --> 00:08:02,334
I'm not punishin' her
for doing the right thing.

166
00:08:02,358 --> 00:08:04,276
Violence is never the right thing.

167
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,903
I'm sorry, are we in California?

168
00:08:08,781 --> 00:08:12,243
Turn that off!

169
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:14,912
So you really think
my folks will come around?

170
00:08:15,663 --> 00:08:19,750
I don't know 'em, but babies have
a magical power over people,

171
00:08:19,834 --> 00:08:21,377
especially grandparents.

172
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:23,170
Is that how you felt
when Georgie was born?

173
00:08:23,254 --> 00:08:25,089
Oh, it was love at first sight.

174
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:27,675
And then, 17 years later,
he got me pregnant.

175
00:08:28,676 --> 00:08:30,720
- You're not gonna let that go, are you?
- Nope.

176
00:08:30,803 --> 00:08:31,803
Hmm.

177
00:08:35,558 --> 00:08:37,893
Should you really be readin'
in the car, baby?

178
00:08:37,977 --> 00:08:38,978
I'll be fine.

179
00:08:39,103 --> 00:08:40,104
Are you sure?

180
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:43,190
You're not the one who will
have to clean up the oatmeal back there.

181
00:08:43,274 --> 00:08:44,942
I said I'll be fine.

182
00:08:45,026 --> 00:08:47,236
And it's the blueberries
you should be worried about.

183
00:08:47,945 --> 00:08:49,405
Well, you're in a mood.

184
00:08:49,488 --> 00:08:51,842
Maybe it's because there was
so much bickering going on at home

185
00:08:51,866 --> 00:08:52,867
that I couldn't study.

186
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:55,703
Oh, I'm sorry if our family problems

187
00:08:55,870 --> 00:08:58,372
are gettin' in the way
of your school work.

188
00:08:58,456 --> 00:08:59,540
I accept your apology.

189
00:09:02,126 --> 00:09:03,627
Oh!

190
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:05,629
Yup. Blueberries.

191
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:09,383
- Where you goin'?
- I got stuff to do.

192
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,969
- Like what?
- Just stuff.

193
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:14,031
Well, can you stop
and get me somethin' to eat?

194
00:09:14,055 --> 00:09:15,222
- No.
- Why not?

195
00:09:15,306 --> 00:09:16,682
'Cause I got stuff to do.

196
00:09:16,766 --> 00:09:17,933
Which you won't tell me.

197
00:09:18,017 --> 00:09:19,643
'Cause it's none of your damn business.

198
00:09:20,269 --> 00:09:21,270
Is it illegal?

199
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,331
I'm not gonna play this game
with you, Georgie.

200
00:09:23,355 --> 00:09:24,648
Just give me the first letter.

201
00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:25,900
Goodbye.

202
00:09:28,069 --> 00:09:29,904
<i>Please, leave.</i>

203
00:09:33,199 --> 00:09:35,201
These people are so lost.

204
00:09:38,037 --> 00:09:39,205
Just a minute.

205
00:09:46,045 --> 00:09:47,046
Oh!

206
00:09:47,797 --> 00:09:49,048
Pastor Rob.

207
00:09:49,173 --> 00:09:50,758
You okay?

208
00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:51,841
Um...

209
00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:53,844
Swallowed a Tic Tac.

210
00:09:54,095 --> 00:09:56,430
Well, I can barely smell
the smoke at all.

211
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,724
What are you doin' here?

212
00:09:59,475 --> 00:10:02,603
I just didn't like the way things
went down the other day

213
00:10:02,686 --> 00:10:04,438
and I came to check on you.

214
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:06,816
Aren't you kind?

215
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:08,400
Can I come in?

216
00:10:08,776 --> 00:10:10,569
Oh. Yeah, of course.

217
00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:18,536
Okay.

218
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:20,621
Marital status.

219
00:10:21,622 --> 00:10:22,706
Single.

220
00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:25,417
Mind your own business.

221
00:10:27,128 --> 00:10:28,629
Name of Father.

222
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:31,632
I can't write "Georgie,"
it sounds like he's 11.

223
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,050
George Marshall Cooper.

224
00:10:33,926 --> 00:10:35,302
Marshall? I didn't know that.

225
00:10:35,386 --> 00:10:37,555
Isn't it nice?
He can still surprise you.

226
00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:40,724
Payment method.

227
00:10:41,851 --> 00:10:43,686
Don't see an option for bad check.

228
00:10:44,186 --> 00:10:45,563
You don't have health insurance?

229
00:10:45,646 --> 00:10:47,064
I don't even have car insurance.

230
00:10:47,148 --> 00:10:48,708
How do you drive without car insurance?

231
00:10:48,732 --> 00:10:49,733
Slowly.

232
00:10:52,111 --> 00:10:54,780
Don't worry about the money. I got you.

233
00:10:55,531 --> 00:10:56,782
I can't ask you to do that.

234
00:10:56,866 --> 00:10:58,951
You're not askin', I'm offerin'.

235
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:03,080
Thank you.

236
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,126
I knew it.

237
00:11:07,459 --> 00:11:08,460
What are you doin' here?

238
00:11:08,544 --> 00:11:09,712
What are you doin' here?

239
00:11:09,795 --> 00:11:11,046
I asked her to be here.

240
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:13,757
- So her and not me?
- Yeah.

241
00:11:15,009 --> 00:11:17,011
Don't make me come over there.

242
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,804
How did you follow me?

243
00:11:19,180 --> 00:11:21,765
It wasn't hard. You can see that
yellow Toyota from outer space.

244
00:11:21,849 --> 00:11:23,184
It is a Mazda.

245
00:11:23,893 --> 00:11:26,645
This is my baby, too.
I think I should be a part of this.

246
00:11:26,937 --> 00:11:28,814
You did your part. Now get.

247
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:33,235
Mandy, please. I want to help.

248
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:36,739
He can stay.

249
00:11:38,073 --> 00:11:39,074
Thanks.

250
00:11:40,201 --> 00:11:42,036
- What can I do?
- Nothin'.

251
00:11:42,119 --> 00:11:43,495
I can do that.

252
00:11:44,288 --> 00:11:47,333
<i>I was struggling
to focus and needed help.</i>

253
00:11:47,416 --> 00:11:49,335
<i>Luckily, there was someone on campus</i>

254
00:11:49,418 --> 00:11:52,504
<i>I could always count on
to lend a friendly ear.</i>

255
00:11:52,838 --> 00:11:54,757
<i>A second mom, if you will.</i>

256
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,841
What now?

257
00:11:55,925 --> 00:11:58,844
You said if I ever had a problem,
I could come to you and you'd fix it.

258
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:00,554
When did I say that?

259
00:12:00,638 --> 00:12:02,640
September 13th, 1991.

260
00:12:02,723 --> 00:12:05,118
You had just eaten a poppy seed bagel
and had one stuck in your teeth.

261
00:12:05,142 --> 00:12:06,769
I'll take your word for it.

262
00:12:06,852 --> 00:12:08,854
It was right here.
How did it not make you crazy?

263
00:12:08,938 --> 00:12:10,981
- It made me crazy.
- What do you want?

264
00:12:11,774 --> 00:12:13,484
My family's falling apart.

265
00:12:13,984 --> 00:12:17,446
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
What do you want me to do?

266
00:12:18,322 --> 00:12:19,323
Fix it.

267
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:23,702
I just can't believe
the church turned its back on us.

268
00:12:23,786 --> 00:12:27,248
The church may have, but God didn't.

269
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:31,585
I don't feel His presence right now.

270
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:34,296
Well, let's invite Him to join us.

271
00:12:36,215 --> 00:12:37,049
Oh.

272
00:12:37,132 --> 00:12:38,133
Okay.

273
00:12:42,888 --> 00:12:45,224
Heavenly Father,
we ask for your guidance

274
00:12:45,307 --> 00:12:47,226
in these troubled times.

275
00:12:47,309 --> 00:12:51,188
Please watch over Mary Cooper
and her family,

276
00:12:51,272 --> 00:12:54,441
let her know that though
this unborn child is out of wedlock,

277
00:12:54,525 --> 00:12:56,151
he or she is a miracle

278
00:12:56,235 --> 00:12:59,280
and your creation
and should be celebrated as such.

279
00:13:00,572 --> 00:13:01,573
Amen.

280
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:03,450
Amen.

281
00:13:08,539 --> 00:13:10,207
- What's going on here?
- Uh, Prayin'.

282
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:12,793
- We're prayin'.
- Just prayin'.

283
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:15,379
Why aren't you in school?

284
00:13:15,671 --> 00:13:17,631
You told me not to punch anyone else,
so I left.

285
00:13:18,048 --> 00:13:20,884
Well, go to your room.

286
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,054
I should probably go.

287
00:13:24,138 --> 00:13:25,139
Of course. Um...

288
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,183
Thank you for stopping by.

289
00:13:28,267 --> 00:13:30,019
'Course. Thank you for the tea and...

290
00:13:30,436 --> 00:13:31,436
Uh...

291
00:13:32,313 --> 00:13:33,605
Bye.

292
00:13:34,398 --> 00:13:36,108
Mmm-hmm.

293
00:13:48,203 --> 00:13:49,997
Mandy, the doctor will see you now.

294
00:13:51,707 --> 00:13:53,000
Where do you think you're goin'?

295
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:55,836
- Going to see the doctor.
- Not you.

296
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:57,880
Why not me? I'm the dad.

297
00:13:57,963 --> 00:13:59,403
Georgie, please don't cause a scene.

298
00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:03,093
All right. I'll wait here for you.

299
00:14:11,393 --> 00:14:12,478
I'm the dad.

300
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:15,939
I know I'm openin' myself up
for cheap shots,

301
00:14:16,023 --> 00:14:18,108
but I'm thinkin' about getting a rug.

302
00:14:18,192 --> 00:14:21,153
Oh, they're called hair systems now.
My brother just got one.

303
00:14:21,236 --> 00:14:23,822
He went from bald
to Rick James like that.

304
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:26,533
I'm just tryin'
to get back out there with the ladies.

305
00:14:26,617 --> 00:14:30,120
Wouldn't hurt having somethin' up here,
you know, for them to hold on to.

306
00:14:30,204 --> 00:14:33,040
Good for you.
Although the right gal wouldn't care.

307
00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:36,377
Says the man who doesn't have
to put sunblock on his head.

308
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:38,980
Hey, you heard from George today?

309
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:41,340
George Cooper? No.

310
00:14:42,132 --> 00:14:43,425
- You?
- No.

311
00:14:44,009 --> 00:14:45,278
Hoping
that he would join us.

312
00:14:45,302 --> 00:14:47,388
Well, he's going through
a tough time at home,

313
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:49,306
you gotta cut him a little slack.

314
00:14:49,390 --> 00:14:51,725
- Are you done?
- I don't know. What do you think?

315
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:53,352
- I can keep going.
- Me too.

316
00:14:53,435 --> 00:14:56,688
You ever wonder how that Sheldon kid
wound up being so smart?

317
00:14:56,772 --> 00:14:59,775
Oh, you mean like,
was there a genius pizza delivery guy

318
00:14:59,858 --> 00:15:02,319
- or a mailman in the mix?
- Exactly.

319
00:15:02,403 --> 00:15:03,570
All right, that's enough.

320
00:15:03,654 --> 00:15:06,740
And for the record,
my grandfather was a brilliant man,

321
00:15:06,824 --> 00:15:08,325
co-invented the traffic cone.

322
00:15:08,409 --> 00:15:10,619
Used to be wood, he made it rubber.

323
00:15:11,995 --> 00:15:12,996
That's right.

324
00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:15,457
- Where are you going?
- Home.

325
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:17,835
This was fun,
let's do it again sometime.

326
00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:19,253
Kiss my ass.

327
00:15:21,171 --> 00:15:23,382
- You think we cheered him up?
- Oh, yeah.

328
00:15:23,715 --> 00:15:24,800
I'm hoping for a boy,

329
00:15:24,883 --> 00:15:27,010
but as long as it's healthy,
that's all that matters.

330
00:15:29,096 --> 00:15:30,222
What are y'all havin'?

331
00:15:34,017 --> 00:15:35,394
- Hey.
- Hey.

332
00:15:35,978 --> 00:15:37,020
How was your day?

333
00:15:37,521 --> 00:15:39,440
Swell. You?

334
00:15:39,523 --> 00:15:43,193
Oh, you know, a little borin'
not havin' work to go to.

335
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:45,070
Yeah, well, I'll trade you.

336
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:48,907
Oh, Pastor Rob dropped by.

337
00:15:50,826 --> 00:15:53,996
- Why?
- Just seein' how we were doin'.

338
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:57,082
You mean to see how you were doin'.

339
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:00,603
What's that supposed to mean?

340
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:03,464
Come on, Mary,
you're not foolin' anybody.

341
00:16:03,547 --> 00:16:06,133
- We were just prayin'.
- Oh, is that what we're callin' it?

342
00:16:06,216 --> 00:16:08,469
- Yes, because that's what it was.
- All right.

343
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:11,345
I've had enough of this.

344
00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:13,533
Where are you goin'? I'm makin' dinner.

345
00:16:13,557 --> 00:16:15,184
Yeah, well,
maybe Pastor Rob will eat it.

346
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:16,268
George!

347
00:16:23,317 --> 00:16:24,318
Hello?

348
00:16:24,401 --> 00:16:26,612
Mrs. Cooper, it's Linda Hagemeyer.

349
00:16:26,987 --> 00:16:28,405
Is everything okay?

350
00:16:28,489 --> 00:16:30,949
Well, I was hoping
that you could tell me.

351
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:32,910
Uh, Sheldon was in my office earlier

352
00:16:32,993 --> 00:16:35,537
and was pretty upset
about the situation at home.

353
00:16:36,872 --> 00:16:38,123
What did he tell you?

354
00:16:38,207 --> 00:16:42,044
Nothing much, really. Just that
his parents are fighting all the time,

355
00:16:42,127 --> 00:16:43,962
his older brother got a girl pregnant,

356
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:47,257
and his sister punched
a little boy in Sunday School.

357
00:16:47,633 --> 00:16:48,467
Oh.

358
00:16:48,592 --> 00:16:53,013
Well, it's been
a busy couple of days.

359
00:16:53,096 --> 00:16:56,391
Just, you know, life.
One thing after another.

360
00:16:56,475 --> 00:16:58,519
Oh, ain't that the truth?

361
00:16:58,894 --> 00:17:03,440
Anyway, I'm sure that you know,
this university has invested quite a bit

362
00:17:03,524 --> 00:17:06,360
in Sheldon's progress, and, um, well,

363
00:17:06,777 --> 00:17:08,820
not to be critical, but

364
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:11,365
he didn't come to you
complaining about me.

365
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:14,034
What are you sayin'?

366
00:17:14,535 --> 00:17:18,539
Are you sayin' that I'm not doin'
a good job as his mother?

367
00:17:19,248 --> 00:17:22,417
Because I am doin' the best that I can
to hold this family together,

368
00:17:22,501 --> 00:17:24,836
and I am tired of everyone blamin' me.

369
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,882
I have half a mind to get in my car
and drive until I run out of road

370
00:17:28,966 --> 00:17:31,468
and then start my life over again
with a different name.

371
00:17:32,594 --> 00:17:38,600
Okay. Sure. So, uh... sounds like
you've got a handle on this.

372
00:17:39,101 --> 00:17:41,562
So good to talk to you.
Um, have a lovely evening.

373
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:42,980
You too!

374
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:54,575
Oh!

375
00:18:00,038 --> 00:18:01,623
It's okay.

376
00:18:11,925 --> 00:18:13,010
Where's Dad?

377
00:18:14,303 --> 00:18:16,054
- Well...
- He had to work late.

378
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:20,517
Georgie, how was your day?

379
00:18:20,601 --> 00:18:21,893
Very good, actually.

380
00:18:21,977 --> 00:18:23,812
Me and Mandy went to the baby doctor.

381
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:25,606
She actually wanted you there?

382
00:18:25,689 --> 00:18:27,733
Not at first, but I wore her down.

383
00:18:27,816 --> 00:18:30,611
- Let's say grace.
- Hang on, safety first.

384
00:18:30,694 --> 00:18:32,154
When are you gonna get over that?

385
00:18:32,237 --> 00:18:34,424
I would think recent events
would make you value protection.

386
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:35,532
Enough.

387
00:18:36,158 --> 00:18:38,368
Bless us, Lord,
for the food we are about to receive

388
00:18:38,452 --> 00:18:40,203
and bless the hands that prepared it.

389
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:41,872
And bless Mom.

390
00:18:43,248 --> 00:18:44,249
Thank you.

391
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,501
- Amen.
- Amen.

392
00:18:46,585 --> 00:18:48,896
She's the hands that prepared it,
your blessing is redundant.

393
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:49,921
Let's eat.
