00:00:01,071 --> 00:00:02,759
Previously on" Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:02,802 --> 00:00:04,795
- I've been corresponding
with Dr. John Sturgis
3
00:00:04,838 --> 00:00:06,396
at East Texas Tech.
4
00:00:06,439 --> 00:00:08,130
He said I could audit his course.
5
00:00:08,173 --> 00:00:09,666
- I'm John Sturgis.
6
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,367
Sheldon invited me to dinner.
7
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:14,203
Spaghetti and hot dogs
is delightful.
8
00:00:14,246 --> 00:00:15,371
- You're only here temporarily?
9
00:00:15,414 --> 00:00:18,009
- That's the plan for now, but...uh..
10
00:00:18,053 --> 00:00:21,118
but I could be enticed to stay.
11
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:22,898
- I do believe there
was subtext there.
12
00:00:22,942 --> 00:00:24,399
Did you pick up on it?
13
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:27,217
- Okay.
14
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:28,594
I'll see you later.
15
00:00:28,638 --> 00:00:30,613
- Are you sure
you don't want to stay with me?
16
00:00:30,657 --> 00:00:32,953
- I don't think so. I dont really
understand this stuff.
17
00:00:32,997 --> 00:00:34,972
- That's how I felt when we watched
Dirty Dancing,
18
00:00:35,016 --> 00:00:36,152
and I stayed.
19
00:00:36,196 --> 00:00:38,836
- When Patrick Swayze takes his
shirt off in here, I'll be back.
20
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,368
You have a good one.
21
00:00:48,054 --> 00:00:49,422
- Hello.
22
00:00:49,742 --> 00:00:50,742
- Hi.
23
00:00:51,682 --> 00:00:53,042
- Who are you?
24
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:54,244
- I'm Paige.
25
00:00:54,822 --> 00:00:56,086
I like your bow tie.
26
00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:57,213
- Thank you.
27
00:00:57,547 --> 00:00:59,105
You seem awfully young, Paige.
28
00:00:59,149 --> 00:01:01,151
Are you with an adult
who's taking this class?
29
00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:03,719
- No. Dr. Sturgis heard
about my research
30
00:01:03,762 --> 00:01:06,401
on quantum chromodynamics
at high temperatures
31
00:01:06,445 --> 00:01:08,225
and invited me
to audit his course.
32
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:09,425
- Is that so?
33
00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:11,895
- Yes. He's been super nice.
34
00:01:11,938 --> 00:01:14,330
- Interesting.
Well, just so we're clear,
35
00:01:14,373 --> 00:01:16,833
he's my mentor,
he's my meemaws boyfriend,
36
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:19,702
and he had spaghetti
and hot dogs at my house.
37
00:01:19,745 --> 00:01:23,128
(chuckling) -The spaghetti
goes on the hot dogs?
38
00:01:23,172 --> 00:01:24,140
- No.
39
00:01:24,190 --> 00:01:26,347
You realize
this is a very advanced class.
40
00:01:26,391 --> 00:01:27,308
We'll be discussing

deriving nuclear physics
from the quark model.
42
00:01:29,555 --> 00:01:32,539
- Do you know if he'll be doing
a full color octet calculation
43
00:01:32,583 --> 00:01:34,383
with matrix manipulations?
44
00:01:35,313 --> 00:01:36,252
- I do not.
45
00:01:36,295 --> 00:01:38,615
- Do you know how to differentiate
under the integral sign?
46
00:01:39,921 --> 00:01:40,921
- No.
47
00:01:41,463 --> 00:01:43,430
(chuckles):
- Well, do you know anything?
48
00:01:44,615 --> 00:01:46,416

That's funny.

- How come you never mentioned
she was coming to this class?
67
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:36,378
- I thought it would be
a fun surprise.
68
00:02:36,421 --> 00:02:37,970
- I don't like surprises.

- Some people like surprises.

00:02:42,694 --> 00:02:44,286
- I love surprises.
73
00:02:44,329 --> 00:02:46,701
- Did you enjoy this one?
- Yes.
74
00:02:46,888 --> 00:02:48,959
- A 50% success rate.
75
00:02:49,037 --> 00:02:50,569
Not bad.

- I'm having an emotion
I'm unfamiliar with.
84
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:16,252
- Hmm. Think it might
have something to do
85
00:03:16,295 --> 00:03:17,743
with your new classmate?
86
00:03:17,787 --> 00:03:18,787
- It's possible.
87
00:03:18,830 --> 00:03:21,780
She's the only variable
in the social equation.
88
00:03:21,944 --> 00:03:23,560
- So what are you feeling?
89
00:03:24,272 --> 00:03:25,495
- My face is hot,
90

I've a knot in my stomach,

and I'm resisting the urge
to kick your seat right now.
92
00:03:30,022 --> 00:03:31,834
- I'm thinking it
might be jealousy.
93
00:03:31,877 --> 00:03:33,769
- No, that's not in my nature.

Are you sad?
98
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680
- No, there's too much anger
in there.
99
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:45,077
- Oh, well, maybe you're angry.
100
00:03:45,121 --> 00:03:46,750
- No, there's too much sad
in there.
101
00:03:46,793 --> 00:03:48,584
- Maybe you got a
little crush on her.
102
00:03:48,627 --> 00:03:50,353
- Do you want me
to kick your seat?
103
00:03:50,741 --> 00:03:52,488
- I don't know, Moonpie.
104
00:03:52,531 --> 00:03:54,890
I'm still thinking
it might be jealousy.
105
00:03:54,933 --> 00:03:57,792
- Give me one reason
why I would be jealous.
106
00:03:57,836 --> 00:04:00,420
- Well,
Dr. Sturgis means a lot to you,

and now he's paying
attention to somebody else.

- Hi. And "John" was
more than enough.
119
00:04:26,593 --> 00:04:29,619
- I was calling because there's
a new student in my class
120

in common.

Don't you understand
what this means?
137
00:05:09,381 --> 00:05:11,772
- Rather than me feel dumb,
how about you just tell me?
138
00:05:12,147 --> 00:05:15,303
- These are parents
we can actually relate to.
139
00:05:15,347 --> 00:05:16,641
- Yeah, sure.
140
00:05:16,685 --> 00:05:17,983

of another special child.

You kids are special, too.
150
00:05:41,026 --> 00:05:42,495
- Do you feel special?
151
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,367
- At least I'm the only daughter.

00:05:44,419 --> 00:05:45,945
You got nothing.

SHELDON:
- And she's such a know-it-all.
154
00:05:47,846 --> 00:05:49,139
- Yeah, you mentioned that.
155
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:50,839
- I'm surprised her
arm wasn't sore
156
00:05:50,882 --> 00:05:52,334
from raising her hand so much.
157
00:05:52,383 --> 00:05:53,542
- Yep, sure.

- And who goes to college
with stickers

- I don't know.

00:05:57,969 --> 00:06:00,035
- Unicorn stickers.
162
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,048

over tomorrow?

- Come on, Shelly. Maybe
you'll end up being friends.
168
00:06:19,812 --> 00:06:20,655

I'm not going to like her,
and Tam is my friend.

I don't need another one.
171
00:06:23,983 --> 00:06:25,875
- You can have more
than one friend.
172
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:28,043
I'm sure Tam has other friends.
173
00:06:28,086 --> 00:06:29,970
- No, I'm all hes got.
174
00:06:30,014 --> 00:06:32,350
And even I avoid him
half the time.
175
00:06:32,394 --> 00:06:34,011
Also, you don't have
any friends.
176
00:06:34,055 --> 00:06:36,478
Why are you so worried about me?
177
00:06:36,522 --> 00:06:38,319
- I have friends.
178
00:06:38,363 --> 00:06:40,803
- Then how come the only person
who ever comes over is Meemaw?
179
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,158
- Because...
180
00:06:42,467 --> 00:06:44,368
Okay, this isn't about me.
181
00:06:44,412 --> 00:06:47,029
So Paige didn't make a
good first impression,
182
00:06:47,072 --> 00:06:48,936
but that can change.
183
00:06:49,803 --> 00:06:52,053
What's that new Star Trek show?
184
00:06:52,097 --> 00:06:53,512
- Next Generation?
185
00:06:53,556 --> 00:06:56,139
- When that first came on,
you said a new Star Trek
186
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:58,608
without Dr. Spock
could never be good,
187
00:06:58,651 --> 00:07:01,043
but I've seen you watching it.
188
00:07:01,086 --> 00:07:03,334
- Well, first of all, it's Mr. Spock.
189
00:07:03,378 --> 00:07:05,647
Dr. Spock writes books
about babies.
190
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:07,240
- My apologies.
191
00:07:07,284 --> 00:07:09,476
- And second of all,
Paige isn't a TV show.
192
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:12,668
She's a person, and we all know
how I feel about people.
193
00:07:12,712 --> 00:07:14,013
(blows raspberry)
194
00:07:17,302 --> 00:07:18,894
(sighs)
195
00:07:18,937 --> 00:07:20,029
- Okay, look.
196
00:07:20,650 --> 00:07:21,751
You're right.
197
00:07:25,295 --> 00:07:27,654
I don't have many friends,
198
00:07:28,061 --> 00:07:31,334
so I was hoping
to get to know Paige's mom.
199
00:07:35,475 --> 00:07:37,712
But if it makes you
uncomfortable,
200
00:07:37,756 --> 00:07:40,125
then I will call her and cancel.
201
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:46,389
- I'll think about it.
202
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:48,920
- Thank you, baby.
203
00:07:49,795 --> 00:07:52,262
ADULT SHELDON: Guilt and
jealousy in the same day.
204
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,193
I slept hard that night.
205
00:07:57,162 --> 00:07:58,740
- Mmm.
206
00:07:59,076 --> 00:08:02,022
Did you know that there's a type
of vanilla flavoring
207
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:04,358
derived from the anal glands
208
00:08:04,402 --> 00:08:06,261
of the North American beaver?
209
00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:08,310
- That seems like a fact
you could have shared
210
00:08:08,353 --> 00:08:09,812
before we started eating.
211
00:08:10,045 --> 00:08:11,475
- It isn't used very often.
212
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:15,545
I understand it's difficult
to, uh, milk the little sacs.
213
00:08:15,691 --> 00:08:18,250
- Cool. Okay, new topic.
214
00:08:18,490 --> 00:08:20,255
Let's talk about Sheldon.
215
00:08:20,298 --> 00:08:22,256
- Wonderful. What about him?
216
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:25,995
- He's having kind of a hard time
with the new girl in your class.
217
00:08:26,467 --> 00:08:27,998
- Really? Why?
218
00:08:28,042 --> 00:08:30,569
- He's jealous of the attention
you're paying her.
219
00:08:31,131 --> 00:08:33,202
- Well, she's remarkable.
220
00:08:33,245 --> 00:08:35,237
- You see that? Less of that.
221
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,307
- But I think he's remarkable, too.
222
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,348
- Perfect. More of that,
less of the other one.
223
00:08:39,392 --> 00:08:41,251
- Understood.
224
00:08:41,295 --> 00:08:43,745
See, this is why
we're great together.
225
00:08:43,788 --> 00:08:46,100
You teach me
about social etiquette,
226
00:08:46,144 --> 00:08:49,029
and I teach you
about beaver anuses.
227
00:08:49,443 --> 00:08:50,854
(chuckles):
- It is magical.
228
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:54,823
- Did you know "ani"
is also acceptable
229
00:08:54,866 --> 00:08:56,326
as the plural of "anus"?
230
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:58,894
- And the magic continues.
231
00:08:59,201 --> 00:09:01,037
(chuckles)
232
00:09:02,812 --> 00:09:04,862
SPOCK: Must have been most
difficult for you to share.
233
00:09:04,905 --> 00:09:06,522
ADULT SHELDON: The thought of
Spending an afternoon
234
00:09:06,566 --> 00:09:08,604
with Paige seemed excruciating.
235
00:09:08,648 --> 00:09:10,707
But I wanted to
make my mother happy.
236
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:12,123
I was torn.
237
00:09:12,167 --> 00:09:14,342
The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,
238
00:09:14,386 --> 00:09:16,855
is what keeps us healthy...
239
00:09:16,965 --> 00:09:18,762
emotionally healthy, that is.
240
00:09:18,861 --> 00:09:21,951
ADULT SHELDON: Luckily, the
wise wo rds of Gene Roddenberry
241
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:23,952
flatly delivered
by Leonard Nimoy
242
00:09:23,995 --> 00:09:25,621
Resolved my dilemma.
243
00:09:25,664 --> 00:09:27,205
- That may be, Doctor.
244
00:09:27,642 --> 00:09:29,402
However, I have noted
245
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:33,338
that the healthy release
of emotion
246
00:09:33,923 --> 00:09:36,345
is frequently very unhealthy.
247
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:40,102
- I realized if Mr. Spock
could rise above his emotions
248
00:09:40,145 --> 00:09:42,678
while the fate of the Enterprise
hung in the balance,
249
00:09:42,722 --> 00:09:45,849
Certainly I could tolerate
Paige for a few hours.
250
00:09:46,366 --> 00:09:48,110
GEORGE JR.:
I'm not watching this crap.
251
00:09:48,153 --> 00:09:50,112
- Why do I listen to you?
252
00:09:50,155 --> 00:09:53,283
WOMAN: Tony, this is going
to help you choose a major.
253
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:55,884
This test is designed to help you focus.
(exhales)
254
00:09:55,927 --> 00:09:57,086
TONY: I know, but what if it
says all I'm good at is...
255
00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:58,468
- What are you doing?
256
00:09:58,538 --> 00:10:00,530
- Suppressing my emotions.
257
00:10:00,574 --> 00:10:02,633
- Oh, yeah? Suppress this.
258
00:10:02,677 --> 00:10:03,793
(belches)
259
00:10:03,836 --> 00:10:05,421
(blows)
260
00:10:05,768 --> 00:10:07,503
(whispers):
Hot dogs.
261
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:12,139
♪
262
00:10:12,377 --> 00:10:14,240
ADULT SHELDON: Vulcans
use a technique
263
00:10:14,284 --> 00:10:16,342
called Kolinahr to
suppress their emotions.
264
00:10:16,386 --> 00:10:18,105
MARY: Sheldon,
they're here!
265
00:10:18,149 --> 00:10:19,908
- Obviously, I wasn't a Vulcan.
266
00:10:19,951 --> 00:10:21,778
So I did the next best thing:
267
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:24,112
took my feelings and
shoved them down so far
268
00:10:24,155 --> 00:10:25,782
they may have been lost forever.
269
00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:27,116
- Hi, Sheldon!
270
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,851
- The release of emotions,
Mr. Spock,
271
00:10:29,894 --> 00:10:31,920
is what keeps us healthy.
272
00:10:32,334 --> 00:10:34,399
Dr. McCoy was an idiot.
273
00:10:39,749 --> 00:10:42,731
- Well, you just have a beautiful home.
- Thank you.
274
00:10:43,155 --> 00:10:45,749
- Can I interest anyone in something
stronger than iced tea?
275
00:10:45,889 --> 00:10:47,687
- Oh, well, I'll take a beer
if you have one.
276
00:10:47,746 --> 00:10:49,338
- Don't worry.
He's personally keeping
277
00:10:49,381 --> 00:10:51,874
the Lone Star Brewing Company
in business.
278
00:10:51,917 --> 00:10:53,209
(laughing)
279
00:10:53,335 --> 00:10:54,594
- They did send me a belt buckle.
280
00:10:54,637 --> 00:10:55,529
(chuckling)
281
00:10:55,573 --> 00:10:56,814
Be right back.
282
00:10:57,459 --> 00:10:59,716
- So, Barry, uh, Linda tells me
283
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:01,149
- you're a dentist?
- Uh, yes.
284
00:11:01,192 --> 00:11:02,884
I have a practice up in Jasper.
285
00:11:02,927 --> 00:11:05,755
Uh, Paige actually does some
of the bookkeeping for us.
286
00:11:05,798 --> 00:11:06,788
- That's so funny.
287
00:11:06,831 --> 00:11:09,514
Sheldon does our taxes.
288
00:11:09,647 --> 00:11:11,308
- Oh! (chuckles) Yeah, we used
to pay her In stickers,
289
00:11:11,351 --> 00:11:13,462
but, this year, she actually
started asking for money.
290
00:11:13,505 --> 00:11:15,205
- Well, don't let Sheldon
hear that.
291
00:11:15,249 --> 00:11:16,611
We pay him in binder clips.
292
00:11:16,655 --> 00:11:19,402
(chuckles)- He loves being organized.
- Boy, does he.
293
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:21,736
We can't go to the grocery store
without him making sure
294
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:23,740
that all the labels
are facing the right way.
295
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:26,808
- Oh, the stock boys there
are always so happy to see him.
296
00:11:26,851 --> 00:11:28,043
(laughing)
297
00:11:28,086 --> 00:11:29,338
- That's adorable.
298
00:11:29,382 --> 00:11:32,406
- Well, it wasn't adorable
when we redid our shower
299
00:11:32,450 --> 00:11:34,835
and he wouldn't use it cause
two of the tiles were crooked.
300
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:35,884
- He took baths in the sink
301
00:11:35,927 --> 00:11:37,019
until we got it fixed.
302
00:11:37,062 --> 00:11:39,121
(laughing)
303
00:11:39,164 --> 00:11:41,933
- So does Paige do
any quirky stuff like that?
304
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,584
(both)
- No. Not really.
305
00:11:46,525 --> 00:11:47,525
- Oh.
306
00:11:48,974 --> 00:11:51,067
- Now, since we'll be spending
a few hours together,
307
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:53,535
I've created a list of
activities to keep us occupied.
308
00:11:53,578 --> 00:11:55,284
We'll start with
a tour of my room,
309
00:11:55,328 --> 00:11:56,972
then board games,
and, if time permits,
310
00:11:57,015 --> 00:11:59,186
you can look at
and not touch my trains.
311
00:11:59,250 --> 00:12:01,283
- Oh, My Little Pony.
312
00:12:01,327 --> 00:12:03,111
I love My Little Pony.
313
00:12:03,154 --> 00:12:05,347
- That's my sisters,
and it's not part of the tour.
314
00:12:05,390 --> 00:12:07,472
- I share a room
with my sister, too.
315
00:12:07,516 --> 00:12:09,009
It's super fun.
316
00:12:09,053 --> 00:12:10,277
- You're wrong.
317
00:12:10,451 --> 00:12:12,920
Now, over here, we have my desk.
318
00:12:13,155 --> 00:12:14,486
This is my computer.
319
00:12:14,530 --> 00:12:15,694
That's my mouse.
320
00:12:15,738 --> 00:12:16,923
This is my printer.
321
00:12:16,967 --> 00:12:18,853
This is the paper that
goes in the printer.
322
00:12:18,897 --> 00:12:20,429
This is a box of extra paper
323
00:12:20,472 --> 00:12:22,164
that also goes in the printer.
324
00:12:23,129 --> 00:12:26,966
And this is my signed picture
of Professor Proton.
325
00:12:28,439 --> 00:12:29,697
Do you watch his show?
326
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:31,788
- No. I don't really like it.
327
00:12:32,482 --> 00:12:33,607
- You don't?
328
00:12:33,651 --> 00:12:35,380
- I think he's boring.
329
00:12:36,045 --> 00:12:38,081
- And he dumbs everything down.
330
00:12:38,733 --> 00:12:41,561
ADULT SHELDON: Come on,
Kolinahr, don't fail me now.
331
00:12:41,733 --> 00:12:43,983
- And next on the tour, we have...
332
00:12:44,370 --> 00:12:45,412
a lamp.
333
00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:48,590
(sighs)
334
00:12:49,655 --> 00:12:51,767
(quietly): - This is not
making me feel better.
335
00:12:51,811 --> 00:12:52,962
Their kid is perfect.
336
00:12:53,006 --> 00:12:54,642
- And so is ours.
337
00:12:54,686 --> 00:12:56,832
- So we're lying to each other.
Fine.
338
00:12:57,303 --> 00:12:59,235
- It's just nice to get to know
another family
339
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,404
who's in a similar situation
as us.
340
00:13:01,830 --> 00:13:03,665
- And we're still lying.
(sighs)
341
00:13:07,811 --> 00:13:09,517
- What grade are you in?
342
00:13:09,561 --> 00:13:10,846
- Eighth.
343
00:13:11,498 --> 00:13:12,590
You?
344
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,064
- Tenth.
345
00:13:14,108 --> 00:13:15,110
- Cool.
346
00:13:16,299 --> 00:13:17,866
- Nobody asked, but fourth.
347
00:13:20,616 --> 00:13:22,375
Why do grownups do this?
348
00:13:22,420 --> 00:13:24,293
They love to stick random kids
together
349
00:13:24,336 --> 00:13:26,259
and expect them
to just be friends.
350
00:13:26,303 --> 00:13:27,303
- I know.
351
00:13:27,561 --> 00:13:28,720
I hate that.
352
00:13:28,764 --> 00:13:31,358
- Fresh Prince is right.
Parents just don't understand.
353
00:13:31,402 --> 00:13:33,801
(chuckles)
- I love that song.
354
00:13:33,845 --> 00:13:35,080
MISSY:
I have a cassette of it,
355
00:13:35,124 --> 00:13:36,639
but I recorded it off the radio.
356
00:13:37,414 --> 00:13:38,939
You can hear Sheldon
in the background
357
00:13:38,983 --> 00:13:41,277
saying stuff
about Sir Isaac Neutron.
358
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,112
- Ugh, my sister's
always talking about him.
359
00:13:44,897 --> 00:13:46,290
I don't know why.
360
00:13:46,483 --> 00:13:47,516
I think he's dead.
361
00:13:48,233 --> 00:13:50,228
- You have no idea
how much it sucks
362
00:13:50,272 --> 00:13:51,419
to have a brother like him.
363
00:13:51,774 --> 00:13:53,801
Believe it or not,
he's in my class.
364
00:13:53,845 --> 00:13:56,231
- My parents sent Paige
to a private school.
365
00:13:56,966 --> 00:13:59,603
- Cool. We're too poor for that.
366
00:14:02,674 --> 00:14:04,167
(sighs)
367
00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:07,403
- Does Sheldon
make you feel stupid?
368
00:14:07,446 --> 00:14:09,471
- Nah, I'm smart in other ways.
369
00:14:09,514 --> 00:14:11,240
- Me, too.
370
00:14:11,283 --> 00:14:12,908
- Hey, I saw an old TV
in the alley.
371
00:14:12,951 --> 00:14:14,309
Want to go throw rocks at it?
372
00:14:14,352 --> 00:14:15,578
- Cool!
- Hell yeah!
373
00:14:15,622 --> 00:14:16,657
- Let's do it.
374
00:14:18,123 --> 00:14:20,048
- We could play traditional chess.
375
00:14:20,091 --> 00:14:22,040
Or if you're interested,
we could play a variant
376
00:14:22,084 --> 00:14:23,702
with a new piece I invented.
377
00:14:23,773 --> 00:14:25,232
- That sounds fun.
378
00:14:25,276 --> 00:14:26,505
What's the new piece?
379
00:14:26,897 --> 00:14:28,191
- A wizard.
380
00:14:28,241 --> 00:14:30,158
The wizard cannot be taken,
and, at any point,
381
00:14:30,201 --> 00:14:33,461
he can teleport and switch
places with any other piece.
382
00:14:33,504 --> 00:14:35,697
- Yes, but there's
an obvious flaw.
383
00:14:35,740 --> 00:14:36,828
- What flaw?
384
00:14:36,872 --> 00:14:38,533
- Well, any time anyone
is checkmated,
385
00:14:38,576 --> 00:14:41,271
they can simply have the wizard
and their king switch places.
386
00:14:41,315 --> 00:14:43,474
So the game will never end.
387
00:14:44,033 --> 00:14:46,703
- I knew that.
You passed my test.
388
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:49,245
- We told Paige that if she won
389
00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:51,047
the regional spelling bee,
she could get a puppy.
390
00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:52,527
We ended up with two,
391
00:14:52,571 --> 00:14:54,664
'cause she won twice.
(chuckles)
392
00:14:54,871 --> 00:14:56,473
(chuckles):
- Fun! That-That's fun.
393
00:14:57,462 --> 00:14:58,520
BARRY: All right...
394
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:00,337
- That's enough about Paige.
395
00:15:00,381 --> 00:15:01,725
So, George, I know you're
396
00:15:01,769 --> 00:15:02,961
a football coach.
397
00:15:03,376 --> 00:15:04,822
What about you, Mary?
398
00:15:04,866 --> 00:15:06,529
- I work part-time at the church.
399
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:07,689
- Oh.
- Oh, that's so nice.
400
00:15:07,733 --> 00:15:09,164
- I used to work at the
practice with Barry,
401
00:15:09,207 --> 00:15:11,333
but I had to quit
once Paige's schedule
402
00:15:11,376 --> 00:15:12,534
- started to get busy.
- Mm.
403
00:15:12,577 --> 00:15:14,035
- Well, that's understandable.
404
00:15:14,078 --> 00:15:17,072
A unique child
can require a lot of attention.
405
00:15:17,115 --> 00:15:18,017
(Barry chuckles)
406
00:15:18,061 --> 00:15:18,648
- Mm.
407
00:15:18,692 --> 00:15:20,069
- Try all the attention. Hmm?
408
00:15:20,113 --> 00:15:22,857
(chuckles): -Okay. You know
that's not true, Barry.
409
00:15:22,901 --> 00:15:25,648
- Well... (chuckles) She's...
she's right. Its not.
410
00:15:25,691 --> 00:15:27,716
Although I did spend
Father's Day alone
411
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,652
'cause she took Paige
to a robotics show.
412
00:15:29,695 --> 00:15:31,756
- Okay.
That's enough, Barry.
413
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,819
They don't need
to hear all this.
414
00:15:33,863 --> 00:15:35,422
(chuckles)
GEORGE SR.: That's okay.
415
00:15:35,466 --> 00:15:36,677
(stammers) That's why
we're getting together,
416
00:15:36,723 --> 00:15:38,764
talk about this kind of stuff.
417
00:15:38,808 --> 00:15:41,200
Barry, it sounds like
you might be feeling left out.
418
00:15:41,673 --> 00:15:43,164
- Oh.
(chuckles) No.
419
00:15:43,207 --> 00:15:44,207
(laughs)
420
00:15:44,514 --> 00:15:46,067
- Sometimes I do.
421
00:15:46,110 --> 00:15:48,037
And it's not just me.
It's Erica, too.
422
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,372
- Oh, now he's just
being dramatic.
423
00:15:50,415 --> 00:15:51,774
Erica gets a lot of attention,
424
00:15:51,817 --> 00:15:53,652
and she's just a joy.
(chuckles)
425
00:15:56,084 --> 00:15:58,014
- Dang it, the screen won't break.
426
00:15:58,057 --> 00:16:00,249
- Bet it'll break
if we blow it up.
427
00:16:05,241 --> 00:16:07,356
(whispers):
- I love her.
428
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:08,540
- Fine, you're right.
429
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,150
Erica's doing just great.
430
00:16:10,194 --> 00:16:12,173
Nothing to worry about there.
431
00:16:12,217 --> 00:16:13,284
(chuckles)
432
00:16:15,750 --> 00:16:17,452
ERICA:
Oh, come on.
433
00:16:19,340 --> 00:16:20,797
You got any matches?
434
00:16:20,841 --> 00:16:22,084
- Be right back.
435
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:29,217
- While she's gone,
you want to make out?
436
00:16:30,361 --> 00:16:31,361
- Sure.
437
00:16:32,557 --> 00:16:34,683
- You actually believe
in the multiverse theory?
438
00:16:34,726 --> 00:16:36,118
- Very much so.
439
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:38,009
- It's the most elegant
interpretation
440
00:16:38,053 --> 00:16:39,587
of quantum mechanics.
441
00:16:39,630 --> 00:16:43,125
- So you really think there are
an infinite number of universes?
442
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:46,227
- Stephen Hawking believes it,
so, yes, I do.
443
00:16:46,270 --> 00:16:49,432
- Well, if there are
an infinite number of universes,
444
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:51,766
I think that theory's dumb
in all of them.
445
00:16:51,809 --> 00:16:53,217
(chuckles)
446
00:16:54,211 --> 00:16:55,603
This is fun.
447
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:57,273
I don't get to have
discussions like this
448
00:16:57,316 --> 00:16:58,881
with kids at my school.
449
00:16:59,012 --> 00:17:00,288
Do you?
450
00:17:00,970 --> 00:17:02,350
- No.
451
00:17:09,977 --> 00:17:12,725
- Do you ever wish you were
just like everyone else?
452
00:17:14,225 --> 00:17:15,720
- Not at all.
453
00:17:15,764 --> 00:17:17,030
(chuckles)
- Me neither.
454
00:17:17,074 --> 00:17:19,167
I love being smarter
than everyone. (chuckles)
455
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:21,162
- Me, too.
456
00:17:21,205 --> 00:17:23,131
ADULT SHELDON: I started to
Think that Paige and I
457
00:17:23,174 --> 00:17:25,133
might have more in common
than I thought.
458
00:17:25,176 --> 00:17:26,830
Maybe my mother was right.
459
00:17:26,874 --> 00:17:29,491
I really did just need to
get to know her better.
460
00:17:31,065 --> 00:17:32,333
- Checkmate!
461
00:17:32,396 --> 00:17:33,774
You lose. (chuckles)
462
00:17:33,818 --> 00:17:35,610
KIRK: Red alert.
(alarm sounding)
463
00:17:35,653 --> 00:17:37,713
Phasers stand by to fire on
my order.
464
00:17:37,756 --> 00:17:40,448
- Guess that makes
me the smartest.
465
00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:42,601
ADULT SHELDON: I don't
know if ten-year-old Spock
466
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:43,937
ever flipped a chess board,
467
00:17:43,981 --> 00:17:45,983
but ten-year-old
Sheldon sure did.
468
00:17:46,027 --> 00:17:47,321
(alarm sounding)
469
00:17:47,512 --> 00:17:49,506
(Star Trek fight music playing)
470
00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:52,441
(Barry and Linda
bickering indistinctly)
471
00:17:52,671 --> 00:17:55,531
- Got to say,
I'm glad we invited 'em over.
472
00:17:55,574 --> 00:17:57,889
(clinking)
- Don't you get him another beer.
473
00:17:57,942 --> 00:17:59,735
- Come on. You love this
and you know it.
474
00:17:59,778 --> 00:18:01,975
They're as messed up as we are.
475
00:18:02,795 --> 00:18:05,140
- Fine. But one more
and that's it.
476
00:18:05,456 --> 00:18:07,091
(loud boom)
(gasps)
477
00:18:07,135 --> 00:18:08,427
GEORGE JR.: -Whoa!
ERICA: -Yes!
478
00:18:08,522 --> 00:18:10,646
MISSY:
Holy crap!
479
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:13,295
- Don't you...
Go out there and check!
480
00:18:17,298 --> 00:18:20,821
- Now, does anyone know
what happens to quarks
481
00:18:20,865 --> 00:18:22,224
when we combine them
482
00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:24,470
to make mesons and baryons?
483
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:27,522
- Yes, Paige.
484
00:18:27,566 --> 00:18:28,967
- We can ignore
the particle masses
485
00:18:29,011 --> 00:18:30,741
at the individual quark level.
486
00:18:30,785 --> 00:18:31,966
- Correct.
487
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:34,804
(chuckles): You are really...
488
00:18:36,010 --> 00:18:38,889
- He's jealous of you
paying attention to her.
489
00:18:40,881 --> 00:18:42,945
- That was correct, Paige.
490
00:18:43,311 --> 00:18:44,947
And, Sheldon,
491
00:18:45,108 --> 00:18:47,522
is that a new bow tie?
492
00:18:48,506 --> 00:18:49,918
- It is.
493
00:18:49,961 --> 00:18:51,413
Lookin' sharp!
494
00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:52,819
- Thanks.
495
00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:54,883
- That was a close one.
496
00:18:54,943 --> 00:18:57,264
As I was saying, we only...
