00:00:01,610 --> 00:00:04,308
ADULT SHELDON: Since the 1970s,
home video games

2
00:00:04,352 --> 00:00:08,138
have been coveted by children
around the world.

3
00:00:08,182 --> 00:00:10,314
I was not one
of those children.

4
00:00:10,358 --> 00:00:12,099
What do you think?
I won it bowling.

5
00:00:12,142 --> 00:00:13,752
It was either that
or a Crock-Pot,

6
00:00:13,796 --> 00:00:15,276
and I already got
three of those,

7
00:00:15,319 --> 00:00:17,539
so I thought I'd surprise you.

8
00:00:17,582 --> 00:00:20,281
No, thank you.
Video games are for children.

9
00:00:20,324 --> 00:00:23,197
Sheldon, you are a child.

10
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:25,590
I just blew the hot
off your SpaghettiOs.

11
00:00:25,634 --> 00:00:27,027
I'm sorry, Meemaw,

12
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:28,854
I just don't think
it's a very productive

13
00:00:28,898 --> 00:00:30,160
use of my time.

14
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:33,033
You're a man of science.
Aren't you interested

15
00:00:33,076 --> 00:00:37,080
in doing a little research here?

16
00:00:37,124 --> 00:00:40,301
"Brave adventurer,
prepare to enter a world

17
00:00:40,344 --> 00:00:41,954
"beyond your imagination.

18
00:00:41,998 --> 00:00:44,131
"Where the only sound you'll
hear is your own heart pounding

19
00:00:44,174 --> 00:00:46,220
as you race through
the dark woods."

20
00:00:46,263 --> 00:00:48,700
This sounds terrifying.Really?

21
00:00:48,744 --> 00:00:50,572
You don't even want to try it?

22
00:00:50,615 --> 00:00:53,270
Honestly, I'd have more fun
with the Crock-Pot.

23
00:00:53,314 --> 00:00:57,535
Fine. I'll just
play by myself.

24
00:00:57,579 --> 00:01:00,016
That's amusing.
Why?

25
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:03,106
I guess it's the juxtaposition
of an old person

26
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:05,978
using new technology;
it tickles me.

27
00:01:06,022 --> 00:01:09,460
What if this old person
really tickles you?

28
00:01:09,504 --> 00:01:11,114
[laughing]:
I'll play! I'll play!

29
00:01:11,158 --> 00:01:14,074
♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪

30
00:01:14,117 --> 00:01:16,946
♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain

31
00:01:16,989 --> 00:01:19,340
♪ I bet I could be your hero

32
00:01:19,383 --> 00:01:21,820

♪ I am a mighty little man.♪

34
00:01:34,311 --> 00:01:36,400
I'm not getting
any younger.

35
00:01:36,444 --> 00:01:39,316
I have to read the
instructions first.

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,667
Did you know this document
gives us specific legal rights?

37
00:01:42,711 --> 00:01:46,062
We may also have other rights
which vary from state to state?

38
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:47,585
I did not.

39
00:01:47,629 --> 00:01:50,197
Well, now you do.

40
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,374
All right, I'm ready.
Great!

41
00:01:53,417 --> 00:01:55,593
To read the
manufacturer's warranty.

42
00:01:55,637 --> 00:01:58,727
Oh, you're killing me.

43
00:02:10,304 --> 00:02:12,958
Hey, George, how y'all been?

44
00:02:13,002 --> 00:02:15,831
Good, good. Hey, fixed your
place up, looking snazzy.

45
00:02:15,874 --> 00:02:18,050
Ah, thanks. Even got
a new water cooler.

46
00:02:18,094 --> 00:02:22,054
It's got those pointy cups,
look like Madonna's bra.

47
00:02:22,098 --> 00:02:23,969
[chuckling]

48
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:26,624
So, what's going on
with your truck,

49
00:02:26,668 --> 00:02:30,889
other than the fact it's
got 130,000 miles on it?

50
00:02:30,933 --> 00:02:33,544
She been running hot. I'm
worried I need a new radiator.

51
00:02:33,588 --> 00:02:36,460
As your friend and neighbor,
I hope not,

52
00:02:36,504 --> 00:02:39,594
but as a businessman,
that'd be pretty sweet.

53
00:02:39,637 --> 00:02:42,074
It could just be the thermostat
not opening right.

54
00:02:42,118 --> 00:02:44,076
That is correct.

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,208
How'd you know that?

56
00:02:45,252 --> 00:02:46,862
I took auto repair last year.

57
00:02:46,905 --> 00:02:48,385
And you actually paid attention?

58
00:02:48,429 --> 00:02:50,996
I'm as surprised as you are.

59
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:55,784
Now we need to put in
a name before we start.

60
00:02:55,827 --> 00:02:57,873
What are you thinking?

61
00:02:57,916 --> 00:03:00,397
We should combine the
letters in our two names,

62
00:03:00,441 --> 00:03:02,182
Sheldon and Meemaw.

63
00:03:02,225 --> 00:03:04,967
Like, uh... ShelMaw?

64
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:08,623
No, using all the
letters, like...

65
00:03:08,666 --> 00:03:10,277
Emelda Showmen.

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,844
Did you just do that
in your head?

67
00:03:12,888 --> 00:03:14,194
Yes, why?

68
00:03:14,237 --> 00:03:17,197
Never mind, just put it down.

69
00:03:20,461 --> 00:03:22,245
All right, here we go.

70
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:23,812
I thought I was playing.

71
00:03:23,855 --> 00:03:26,206
You don't know how to play;
you didn't read the manual.

72
00:03:26,249 --> 00:03:29,165
You're in charge, Emelda.

73
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,210
Thank you.

74
00:03:31,907 --> 00:03:33,735
Should I go left or right?

75
00:03:33,778 --> 00:03:36,999
Why don't you try going
in that cave?

76
00:03:37,042 --> 00:03:39,610
Why would I do that?
It's probably dangerous.

77
00:03:39,654 --> 00:03:41,482
Sheldon, they wouldn't
have put the cave there

78
00:03:41,525 --> 00:03:43,440
if they didn't
want you to go in it.

79
00:03:43,484 --> 00:03:45,834
Seems unnecessarily
reckless, but okay.

80
00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:50,665
Dark and dangerous.

81
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:51,840
I told you.

82
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:53,885
Just keep going.

83
00:03:55,147 --> 00:03:58,238
The box was right,
my heart is pounding.

84
00:03:58,281 --> 00:03:59,935
All right,

85
00:03:59,978 --> 00:04:02,111
good news.

86
00:04:02,154 --> 00:04:03,112
Tell me.

87
00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:05,462
Well, the kid
was right--

88
00:04:05,506 --> 00:04:06,855
it's just the thermostat.

89
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,598
Yeah, yeah.
So how long to fix it?

90
00:04:10,641 --> 00:04:12,513
Nothing, 20 minutes.Can I help?

91
00:04:12,556 --> 00:04:15,733
Well, sure. Grab yourself a pair
of coveralls and have at it.

92
00:04:15,777 --> 00:04:17,082
Thanks.

93
00:04:18,170 --> 00:04:19,389
Really?

94
00:04:19,433 --> 00:04:21,304
I'm paying you
so my own son can fix my truck?

95
00:04:21,348 --> 00:04:23,306
Well, we could have
my son do it,

96
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:26,527
but we know how
that's gonna end.

97
00:04:28,442 --> 00:04:29,530
MEEMAW:
What are you doing?

98
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,227
Kill him!
I'm trying!

99
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,620
Well, what's
the problem?

100
00:04:32,663 --> 00:04:34,535
I seem to have weak thumbs.

101
00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:35,753
Pause it.

102
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:39,540
I'm a little winded.

103
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:41,759
Why don't you let the old person
give it a shot?

104
00:04:41,803 --> 00:04:44,545
Would you like me to give
you a tutorial first?

105
00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:46,982
Give it to me.
I'll figure it out.

106
00:04:47,025 --> 00:04:49,506
We are such different
people, Meemaw.

107
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:51,682
Thank you.

108
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:59,386
Die, you sumbitches, die!

109
00:04:59,429 --> 00:05:02,389
Very different people.Die, you son bitches!

110
00:05:04,086 --> 00:05:07,307
When I grow up, will I be
a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader?

111
00:05:08,264 --> 00:05:10,919
"Not likely." Darn it.

112
00:05:10,962 --> 00:05:12,355
Did you tell her?

113
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:13,356
Why don't you tell her?

114
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,923
Tell me what?

115
00:05:14,966 --> 00:05:16,751
Herschel offered me
a part-time job.

116
00:05:16,794 --> 00:05:18,100
Really?

117
00:05:18,143 --> 00:05:19,580
Between that

118
00:05:19,623 --> 00:05:22,147
and football practice,
when would you do your homework?

119
00:05:22,191 --> 00:05:23,410
When does he do it?

120
00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:25,586
Are you okay with this?

121
00:05:25,629 --> 00:05:27,414
Yeah, I think it'll
be good for him.

122
00:05:27,457 --> 00:05:31,069
I don't know, I think his
education should come first.

123
00:05:31,113 --> 00:05:33,028
Come on, Mom. It's not like
I'm gonna graduate

124
00:05:33,071 --> 00:05:34,725
"val-dictator-torian."

125
00:05:34,769 --> 00:05:36,945
You heard him.

126
00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:40,818
[sighs] Fine, but I want you
here for dinner every night,

127
00:05:40,862 --> 00:05:43,125
and if your grades slip,
you are done.

128
00:05:43,168 --> 00:05:45,301
Thank you.Now go wash up.

129
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:47,390
And don't get grease
all over my towels.

130
00:05:47,434 --> 00:05:51,220
He really did know his stuff
at the shop. It was impressive.

131
00:05:51,263 --> 00:05:54,136
All right, well,
maybe it'll be a good thing.

132
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:58,445
How about a Houston
Oilers cheerleader?

133
00:05:58,488 --> 00:06:01,970
"Signs point to yes."
I'm gonna marry a quarterback.

134
00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:03,363
[sighs]

135
00:06:09,717 --> 00:06:10,892
ADULT SHELDON:
Over the next few days,

136
00:06:10,935 --> 00:06:12,459
I ran to my meemaw's house

137
00:06:12,502 --> 00:06:14,025
so we could save
the 8-bit princess.

138
00:06:14,069 --> 00:06:15,549
And if it's unclear
how important this was,

139
00:06:15,592 --> 00:06:19,770
let me say it again: I ran.

140
00:06:19,814 --> 00:06:22,382
Right behind you,
monster, monster!

141
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:23,513
I see him!

142
00:06:23,557 --> 00:06:25,559
You're losing life points,
do something!

143
00:06:25,602 --> 00:06:27,561
Calm down, I've got this.

144
00:06:27,604 --> 00:06:29,301
No, no, no,
you're going to die!

145
00:06:29,345 --> 00:06:30,868
We're going to have
to restart this level!

146
00:06:32,087 --> 00:06:34,437
Okay, we need to set
a few ground rules.

147
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:35,438
Rules, love 'em.

148
00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:37,397
Mazes, puzzles,
panic attacks,

149
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,573
you're in charge.

150
00:06:39,616 --> 00:06:42,880
Whooping monster butt,
that's my purview.

151
00:06:42,924 --> 00:06:44,360
Understood.
However...

152
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,231
Excuse me. Is there
a monster on that screen?

153
00:06:46,275 --> 00:06:47,624
Yes, ma'am.

154
00:06:47,668 --> 00:06:51,802
And can two players
swing the magic sword?
No.

155
00:06:51,846 --> 00:06:54,457
So what does that mean
as we go forward?

156
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,807
I have to shut my yap.

157
00:06:56,851 --> 00:06:59,070
Attaboy.

158
00:06:59,114 --> 00:07:01,595
Can I still have
a panic attack?

159
00:07:01,638 --> 00:07:04,467
If you do it quietly.

160
00:07:04,511 --> 00:07:06,991
[game beeping]

161
00:07:07,035 --> 00:07:09,037
[whoops]

162
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,953
[laughing]: No, no, no.

163
00:07:11,996 --> 00:07:15,696
So me and Herschel dropped
the engine on this Pacer today.

164
00:07:15,739 --> 00:07:17,567
It was so cool.[chuckles]

165
00:07:17,611 --> 00:07:20,309
I had a buddy in high school
had a Pacer

166
00:07:20,352 --> 00:07:22,137
with the flames
painted on the side,

167
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:24,095
which was funny 'cause
the damn thing caught fire

168
00:07:24,139 --> 00:07:26,141
during the Homecoming parade.

169
00:07:26,184 --> 00:07:27,447
Too bad he didn't know Herschel.

170
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:30,232
He can fix anything.
Guy's a genius.

171
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:33,148
You mean
a car genius.

172
00:07:33,191 --> 00:07:36,456
Is Dad getting his
feelings hurt? "Yes."

173
00:07:37,369 --> 00:07:39,676
The ball don't lie.

174
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,417
Sorry!

175
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:42,505
MEEMAW:
Excuse us.

176
00:07:44,289 --> 00:07:46,509
Thank you.

177
00:07:46,553 --> 00:07:48,424

00:16:03,527 --> 00:16:06,226
Shut up. So, listen...

354
00:16:06,269 --> 00:16:10,404
I feel bad about Georgie
and this whole football thing.

355
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:12,406
Thanks, but it's not on you.

356
00:16:12,449 --> 00:16:15,931
I appreciate that,
but you got to know

357
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:17,715
there's an upside to this.

358
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:19,282
And that would be?

359
00:16:19,326 --> 00:16:23,417
Your son has got a special gift.

360
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:25,201
A gift?

361
00:16:25,245 --> 00:16:26,811
We are talking
about Georgie, right?

362
00:16:26,855 --> 00:16:29,814
Yeah. I mean, first off,
the kid really knows his way

363
00:16:29,858 --> 00:16:32,817
around an engine,
which is all well and good.

364
00:16:32,861 --> 00:16:36,212
But when it comes
to fixing tires,

365
00:16:36,256 --> 00:16:40,216
I swear, I've never seen
anything like him.

366
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:42,262
Tires? How do you mean?

367
00:16:42,305 --> 00:16:45,352
George, I've been patching flats
for 25 years.

368
00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:47,223
You know,
slap some soapy water on them,

369
00:16:47,267 --> 00:16:48,746
look for
the air bubble.

370
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:52,750
But your son,
he doesn't need any tricks.

371
00:16:52,794 --> 00:16:56,276
He knows
where the puncture holes are.

372
00:16:56,319 --> 00:16:57,581
He knows?

373
00:16:57,625 --> 00:16:59,714
He knows.

374
00:16:59,757 --> 00:17:02,804
He's got a sixth sense
for tire damage.

375
00:17:02,847 --> 00:17:04,197
I mean,
you got to see him in action.

376
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,634
I-It'll give you chills.

377
00:17:06,677 --> 00:17:07,678
You know, now that you say it,

378
00:17:07,722 --> 00:17:09,071
whenever we had
a leaky football,

379
00:17:09,115 --> 00:17:11,204
he knew exactly
where the hole was.

380
00:17:11,247 --> 00:17:14,903
I am telling you, your boy's got
a future in the tire business.

381
00:17:14,946 --> 00:17:18,733
Goodyear, Firestone, somebody's
gonna scoop him up first round.

382
00:17:18,776 --> 00:17:20,735
Thanks, Herschel.

383
00:17:20,778 --> 00:17:22,345
That does my heart good.

384
00:17:22,389 --> 00:17:25,044
So I guess you got two geniuses
in the family.

385
00:17:25,087 --> 00:17:26,523
Guess I do.

386
00:17:26,567 --> 00:17:29,657
Who knows,
maybe Missy'll make it three.

387
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:32,529

I knew you could do it!

391
00:17:49,677 --> 00:17:52,636
Yes! We saved her!

392
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,464
We saved the princess!
We did it!

393
00:17:54,508 --> 00:17:56,466

So now what?

397
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:07,347
We just return
to our ordinary lives?

398
00:18:07,390 --> 00:18:10,698
I guess so.

399
00:18:12,569 --> 00:18:17,966
Or... we could just go to
the store and buy another game.
