and a bag full of my baby teeth.

181
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:49,164
Thank you.

182
00:07:49,207 --> 00:07:52,123
Oh. I also hung a cross
over the bed for you.

183
00:07:52,167 --> 00:07:54,386
It's just Popsicle sticks
and glitter. I glued it together

184
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,040
in Sunday school
when I was a kid.

185
00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:58,303
[crying softly]

186
00:07:58,347 --> 00:07:59,783
Is-is it too much?
I can take it down.

187
00:07:59,827 --> 00:08:02,743
[sniffles] No, it's...

188
00:08:02,786 --> 00:08:05,180
it's really sweet. [sniffles]

189
00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:10,315
[crying]Why are you crying?

190
00:08:10,359 --> 00:08:11,621
Did Georgie bring up

191
00:08:11,665 --> 00:08:12,796
your unfortunate home life?

192
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,537
Uh, no.

193
00:08:14,581 --> 00:08:16,191
Good. My mom said not to,

194
00:08:16,234 --> 00:08:17,801
so that you
would be comfortable.

195
00:08:17,845 --> 00:08:20,151
Thank you.

196
00:08:20,195 --> 00:08:22,850
Are you comfortable?

197
00:08:24,416 --> 00:08:27,768
[laughing] And I remember
how cute you looked

198
00:08:27,811 --> 00:08:30,422
in your little pearl snap
shirt with your bolo tie.

199
00:08:30,466 --> 00:08:34,775
Well, I'd say it wasn't
my first rodeo, but it was.[both chuckling]

200
00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:39,693
Thank you for
a wonderful year.

201
00:08:39,736 --> 00:08:43,087
To many more.To many more.

202
00:08:46,090 --> 00:08:49,572
Which leads me
to the final surprise

203
00:08:49,616 --> 00:08:51,182
of the evening.

204
00:08:53,054 --> 00:08:56,840
What are you doing?Hang on, I don't want
to spoil the surprise.

205
00:08:56,884 --> 00:08:59,234
Getting down on one knee,
it makes it pretty damn clear.

206
00:08:59,277 --> 00:09:01,889
Surprise!

207
00:09:10,724 --> 00:09:13,422
Connie, will you
do me the honor

208
00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:16,164
of being my wife?

209
00:09:16,207 --> 00:09:18,514
Oh, John, I don't know.

210
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:22,126
How can you not know?
It's a binary decision.

211
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:24,651
It's more complicated
th-than that.

212
00:09:24,694 --> 00:09:26,740
I don't see why.
We're compatible.

213
00:09:26,783 --> 00:09:29,220
[quietly]: I know.We enjoy each other's company.

214
00:09:29,264 --> 00:09:32,876
I know.And we've become extremely
proficient in the bedroom.

215
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,748
There's very little
wasted effort.

216
00:09:34,791 --> 00:09:36,053
[quietly]:
John, sit back down

217
00:09:36,097 --> 00:09:37,533
and lower your voice.

218
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,666
Little help?

219
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:43,365
Down is easier than up. [groans]Sure.

220
00:09:44,845 --> 00:09:47,238
MARY: Thank you, God, for this
food we're about to receive,

221
00:09:47,282 --> 00:09:49,414
and for the nourishment
of our bodies, and bless

222
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:50,851
the hands that prepared it.

223
00:09:50,894 --> 00:09:53,593
And an extra special thank-you
for allowing us

224
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:56,726
to share our home with
our friend Veronica.

225
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:58,423
ALL: Amen.GEORGE JR.: Oh, yeah.

226
00:09:58,467 --> 00:10:00,382
That's a big amen on that one.

227
00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:02,079
MARY:
All right, everybody, dig in.

228
00:10:02,123 --> 00:10:04,038
Would you like a dinner roll?

229
00:10:04,081 --> 00:10:05,256
Mmm. Sure.

230
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,216
I find it really
rounds out the meal.

231
00:10:09,434 --> 00:10:10,827
Mom?Yes, honey?

232
00:10:10,871 --> 00:10:14,309
Do I have to sit downwind
of Georgie's cologne?

233
00:10:14,352 --> 00:10:17,094
So, Veronica, I understand
that you're a junior?

234
00:10:17,138 --> 00:10:18,400
Mm. Yes, sir.

235
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:20,837
Do you have any plans
for after high school?

236
00:10:20,881 --> 00:10:23,144
I'm hoping for a
scholarship to Baylor

237
00:10:23,187 --> 00:10:24,624
so I can get
a teaching degree.

238
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:25,668
Mm.

239
00:10:25,712 --> 00:10:27,409
I like kids. [chuckles]

240
00:10:27,452 --> 00:10:29,933
Really? Kids? Ugh.

241
00:10:29,977 --> 00:10:32,762
You're so tall and pretty,
you should be Vanna White.

242
00:10:32,806 --> 00:10:34,285
How can she be Vanna White?

243
00:10:34,329 --> 00:10:35,722
Vanna White is Vanna White.

244
00:10:35,765 --> 00:10:37,767
Fine. She can be Vanna Blue.

245
00:10:37,811 --> 00:10:39,682
See? This is the kind
of nonsense you have

246
00:10:39,726 --> 00:10:41,510
to deal with when
you're around kids.

247
00:10:41,553 --> 00:10:43,033
He does have a point.

248
00:10:43,077 --> 00:10:45,557
No. I-I love this.

249
00:10:45,601 --> 00:10:47,821
We never eat dinner
together at my house.

250
00:10:47,864 --> 00:10:49,300
You eat alone?

251
00:10:50,824 --> 00:10:53,522
Mostly. Yeah.

252
00:10:53,565 --> 00:10:55,698
[quietly]:
Lucky duck.

253
00:10:55,742 --> 00:10:58,658
[indistinct chatter]

254
00:10:58,701 --> 00:11:00,224
John...

255
00:11:00,268 --> 00:11:01,704
I've already been
married once.

256
00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:04,576
I wasn't really planning
on ever doing it again.

257
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:05,839
Why not?

258
00:11:05,882 --> 00:11:08,624
I was somebody's wife
for a long time.

259
00:11:09,930 --> 00:11:13,673
I just like being...
Connie Tucker now.

260
00:11:13,716 --> 00:11:15,239
Not Mrs....

261
00:11:15,283 --> 00:11:16,676
somebody else's name.

262
00:11:16,719 --> 00:11:19,330
Well, what if I took your name?

263
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:22,159
John Tucker, it sounds great.

264
00:11:22,203 --> 00:11:25,336
Like a football player
or an astronaut.

265
00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:26,686
You're missing the point.

266
00:11:26,729 --> 00:11:29,079
I just think it's important
for people to know

267
00:11:29,123 --> 00:11:30,777
that we're an official couple.

268
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:32,822
We don't have to be married
for that.

269
00:11:32,866 --> 00:11:35,564
Buy a billboard,
take an ad out in the paper.

270
00:11:37,218 --> 00:11:39,873
I understand. Thank you.

271
00:11:42,353 --> 00:11:44,007
Are we good?

272
00:11:44,051 --> 00:11:45,966
Yes.

273
00:11:47,968 --> 00:11:50,231
But if I should
pre-decease you...

274
00:11:52,233 --> 00:11:54,017
[voice breaking]:
I want you to have the ring.

275
00:11:54,061 --> 00:11:55,976
Fine.It'll be in the...

276
00:11:56,019 --> 00:11:59,762
top right corner
of my dresser drawer.

277
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:02,634
Got it.
[crying]:
Under my tube socks.

278
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:12,470
Veronica. Veronica.

279
00:12:12,514 --> 00:12:13,994
VERONICA:
Come in.

280
00:12:15,691 --> 00:12:16,997
Hey, Sheldon, what's up?

281
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,781
I printed out
my bathroom schedule.

282
00:12:18,825 --> 00:12:20,696
I can't speak for anyone else
in this family,

283
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,393
but you can count on it
being occupied

284
00:12:22,437 --> 00:12:23,743
during these times.

285
00:12:23,786 --> 00:12:25,745
Thank you.

286
00:12:25,788 --> 00:12:27,659
This is very helpful.

287
00:12:27,703 --> 00:12:29,705
I know.

288
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:34,231
Is there anything else?

289
00:12:34,275 --> 00:12:37,495
There is, but...
I'm not allowed to ask about it.

290
00:12:37,539 --> 00:12:39,802
Oh, it's okay.
You can ask me anything.

291
00:12:39,846 --> 00:12:41,804
Oh, good.
I don't like cats,

292
00:12:41,848 --> 00:12:43,675
but I share
their curious nature.

293
00:12:43,719 --> 00:12:45,677
[laughs]
What do you want to know?

294
00:12:45,721 --> 00:12:47,592
Your mom has
a boyfriend.

295
00:12:47,636 --> 00:12:48,768
Yeah.

296
00:12:48,811 --> 00:12:50,117
Where is your father?

297
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,293
I don't know.

298
00:12:52,336 --> 00:12:54,425
Why do you not know?

299
00:12:54,469 --> 00:12:56,732
Well, he left
when I was really young

300
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:58,429
and I never
heard from him again.

301
00:12:58,473 --> 00:13:00,301
And why are you staying here?

302
00:13:00,344 --> 00:13:03,217
My mom's boyfriend
isn't very nice.

303
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:06,481
I understand.
My sister isn't very nice.

304
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:08,526
[chuckles] So you get it?

305
00:13:08,570 --> 00:13:10,093
I do, thank you.

306
00:13:10,137 --> 00:13:12,617
Okay, well,
talk to you later.

307
00:13:12,661 --> 00:13:14,794
But not between
7:00 and 7:12.

308
00:13:14,837 --> 00:13:17,448
Yup, I see it right here.

309
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:26,936
[drops keys]

310
00:13:26,980 --> 00:13:28,851
So... how about

311
00:13:28,895 --> 00:13:31,636
I make us a pot of tea
and we'll get cozy?

312
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,029
Sure, sounds good.

313
00:13:33,073 --> 00:13:35,553
Just make yourself comfy,
I-I'll be right back.

314
00:13:39,862 --> 00:13:41,472
Mint tea?

315
00:13:41,516 --> 00:13:44,562
Or would you like to go crazy
and have a little hibiscus?

316
00:13:44,606 --> 00:13:46,564
[door closes]

317
00:13:46,608 --> 00:13:48,349
[water turns off]

318
00:13:54,877 --> 00:13:56,618
Ah, damn it.

319
00:13:56,661 --> 00:13:58,185
BOY [over TV]: Buddy,
they let you out?

320
00:13:58,228 --> 00:14:00,187
BUDDY: Yeah, but
they let Charles in.

321
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:02,319
Hey, can I join you?

322
00:14:02,363 --> 00:14:03,712
Sure.

323
00:14:03,755 --> 00:14:05,845
What you watching?

324
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:07,542
Charles in Charge.

325
00:14:07,585 --> 00:14:10,719
It's kind of like Who's
the Boss?but with Chachi.

326
00:14:10,762 --> 00:14:13,287
They should have called it
Chachi in Charge.

327
00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:15,506
Cha-Chi in Charge.

328
00:14:15,550 --> 00:14:17,160
That's three cha's. I like it.

329
00:14:17,204 --> 00:14:18,640
[laughs]

330
00:14:18,683 --> 00:14:21,817
Georgie, you're so funny.

331
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:23,210
Really?

332
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:24,689
Not everybody gets me.

333
00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:27,431
I get you.

334
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:33,742
♪

335
00:14:36,832 --> 00:14:38,007
Uh-oh.

336
00:14:43,665 --> 00:14:45,928
Oh, Mom. If you're sleeping
with the man,

337
00:14:45,972 --> 00:14:47,190
you should be married to him.

338
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:48,800
Why do I come here?

339
00:14:48,844 --> 00:14:50,890
I got to find
a cooler chick to talk to.

340
00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:53,153
You know I'm right.

341
00:14:53,196 --> 00:14:54,371
I know no such thing.

342
00:14:54,415 --> 00:14:55,807
It's my life,
I don't have to do

343
00:14:55,851 --> 00:14:57,548
anything 'cause
I'm "supposed to."

344
00:14:57,592 --> 00:14:59,202
I do it because I want to,
and right now,

345
00:14:59,246 --> 00:15:01,074
I don't want to, end of story.

346
00:15:01,117 --> 00:15:03,250
Good morning.Can I get you
some breakfast, honey?

347
00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:04,991
Yes, please.

348
00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:07,907
How was your anniversary date
with Dr. Sturgis?

349
00:15:07,950 --> 00:15:09,647
You knew about that?

350
00:15:09,691 --> 00:15:12,085
Yes.So you knew
he was gonna propose?

351
00:15:12,128 --> 00:15:14,217
Propose? No, that's wonderful.

352
00:15:14,261 --> 00:15:16,959
Although, it's a little
disconcerting he didn't tell me.

353
00:15:17,003 --> 00:15:19,179
I thought we were
closer than that.

354
00:15:19,222 --> 00:15:20,920
Well, we're not
getting married any time soon.

355
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:23,792
You should. You're old;
you don't have many years left.

356
00:15:23,835 --> 00:15:27,100
I really need to meet
