[whispers]: It's coffee.
363
00:15:23,067 --> 00:15:24,285
Where'd you get it?
364
00:15:24,329 --> 00:15:25,634
The teachers' lounge.
And before you ask,
365
00:15:25,678 --> 00:15:28,550
no, I'm not the world's
greatest grandpa.
366
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,204
Since when do you drink coffee?
367
00:15:30,248 --> 00:15:32,380
I don't, but this job is killing me.
368
00:15:32,424 --> 00:15:33,947
You wouldn't understand.
369
00:15:33,991 --> 00:15:36,210
[sips, coughs]
370
00:15:36,254 --> 00:15:37,821
You realize I have a job.
371
00:15:37,864 --> 00:15:39,735
At your parents' convenience store?
372
00:15:39,779 --> 00:15:41,172
That doesn't count.
373
00:15:41,215 --> 00:15:42,477
Why not?
374
00:15:42,521 --> 00:15:43,827
You get to sit at a cash register
375
00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:45,393
and have the fun of doing math.
376
00:15:45,437 --> 00:15:47,831
Actually, the cash register tells you
377
00:15:47,874 --> 00:15:49,136
how much change to give.
378
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:52,487
Oh. That's too bad.
379
00:15:52,531 --> 00:15:53,445
[sips]
380
00:15:53,488 --> 00:15:55,186
[coughs]
381
00:15:55,229 --> 00:15:59,103
Oh, I hear they're opening
an Olive Garden
382
00:15:59,146 --> 00:16:01,888
where the old Sizzler used to be.
On Hampton Road?
383
00:16:01,932 --> 00:16:03,324
- Yeah.
- GEORGE SR.: I don't think that was a Sizzler.
384
00:16:03,368 --> 00:16:04,935
That was a Chi-Chi's.
385
00:16:04,978 --> 00:16:06,545
No, the Chi-Chi's is on Bedford,
386
00:16:06,588 --> 00:16:08,416
across from the Payless Shoes.
387
00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:10,679
She's right.
Because, one time, we got shoes
388
00:16:10,723 --> 00:16:12,246
and then we got Chi-Chi's.
389
00:16:12,290 --> 00:16:13,769
That was a good day.
390
00:16:13,813 --> 00:16:15,771
GEORGE SR.: Huh.
I guess that was a Sizzler.
391
00:16:15,815 --> 00:16:17,599
I'm sorry they closed that.
392
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:19,471
Oh, there's still
the other one on Route 40.
393
00:16:19,514 --> 00:16:20,864
Who cares?!
394
00:16:24,606 --> 00:16:25,781
You have a problem?
395
00:16:25,825 --> 00:16:27,087
Yes, I do.
I've had a long day.
396
00:16:27,131 --> 00:16:28,523
Is it too much to ask
for a dinner
397
00:16:28,567 --> 00:16:30,221
with a little peace and quiet?
398
00:16:30,264 --> 00:16:31,831
Sheldon, you do not talk
399
00:16:31,875 --> 00:16:33,441
to your father like that.
400
00:16:33,485 --> 00:16:36,618
Fine.
I'd rather not speak to any of you.
401
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:38,185
[grunts]
402
00:16:38,229 --> 00:16:40,361
Maybe I better go talk to him.
403
00:16:40,405 --> 00:16:41,580
No, I got this.
404
00:16:41,623 --> 00:16:43,016
George, maybe you should calm down first.
405
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:44,713
I got this.
406
00:16:51,416 --> 00:16:53,331
You want to explain yourself?
407
00:16:53,374 --> 00:16:54,636
I'd rather just go to bed,
408
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,074
since I have to be up
in a few hours anyway.
409
00:16:57,117 --> 00:16:59,990
Look, I understand you're tired,
but that is no reason for you...
410
00:17:00,033 --> 00:17:02,209
I'm not just tired.
I'm exhausted.
411
00:17:02,253 --> 00:17:03,428
Everything hurts.
412
00:17:03,471 --> 00:17:04,472
I get up in the morning
413
00:17:04,516 --> 00:17:06,735
to do this job
I don't even like.
414
00:17:06,779 --> 00:17:08,389
And I'm doing it
just for the money,
415
00:17:08,433 --> 00:17:10,435
and it's not even
a lot of money.
416
00:17:10,478 --> 00:17:12,828
I keep trying harder and harder,
417
00:17:12,872 --> 00:17:14,918
and it doesn't even
make a difference.
418
00:17:14,961 --> 00:17:16,484
So if you're going to
yell at me or punish me,
419
00:17:16,528 --> 00:17:19,226
let's just get it over with.
420
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:20,662
[sighs]
421
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,451
I'm not gonna punish you.
422
00:17:26,494 --> 00:17:28,670
Why not?
I deserve it.
423
00:17:30,672 --> 00:17:33,719
Let me tell you about myday.
424
00:17:33,762 --> 00:17:35,634
I got yelled at by the principal
425
00:17:35,677 --> 00:17:37,984
for benching a linebacker
who's flunking English.
426
00:17:38,028 --> 00:17:40,726
Then I got yelled at even
more by the kid's parents.
427
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:43,555
Then I had to break up
a fight in the locker room.
428
00:17:43,598 --> 00:17:45,557
Got elbowed in the neck.
429
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,514
That's a rough day.
430
00:17:46,558 --> 00:17:48,603
That was all before 10:00 a.m.
431
00:17:50,127 --> 00:17:52,607
So I get what you're
going through.
432
00:17:52,651 --> 00:17:56,002
But you'll notice, I didn't come
home and take it out on you.
433
00:17:57,047 --> 00:17:59,788
No, you didn't.
434
00:17:59,832 --> 00:18:01,616
I want you to get back in there,
435
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:04,489
apologize to everyone,
and finish your dinner.
436
00:18:04,532 --> 00:18:06,360
Yes, sir.
437
00:18:09,189 --> 00:18:12,018
ADULT SHELDON: My father's
wisdom touched me deeply.
438
00:18:12,062 --> 00:18:13,585
Which is why, to this day,
439
00:18:13,628 --> 00:18:15,326
no matter what I'm going through,
440
00:18:15,369 --> 00:18:17,589
I am never irritating or abusive
441
00:18:17,632 --> 00:18:20,679
to any of my friends or loved ones.
442
00:18:20,722 --> 00:18:21,680
Ask them. They'll tell you.
443
00:18:27,015 --> 00:18:28,320
ADULT SHELDON: For the next several months,
444
00:18:28,364 --> 00:18:30,453
I continued working
my paper route
445
00:18:30,497 --> 00:18:33,630
until I paid my father back.
446
00:18:33,674 --> 00:18:36,241
[thunder rumbling]
447
00:18:36,285 --> 00:18:39,114
And by "working,"
I mean "delegating."
448
00:18:42,987 --> 00:18:45,990
I have no idea where I am.
