Previously onYoung Sheldon...
We've never really discussed

2
00:00:03,205 --> 00:00:05,555
the status
of our relationship.

3
00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:07,210
Men don't break up with me.

4
00:00:07,253 --> 00:00:08,993
Ido the breaking up.

So, uh,

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,300
how's Connie?

7
00:00:11,344 --> 00:00:13,824
Hit him!

8
00:00:13,868 --> 00:00:14,913
Hit him again.

9
00:00:14,957 --> 00:00:16,219
Mom's good.

10
00:00:16,262 --> 00:00:18,612
I'm glad she's doing well.
Tell her I say hi.

11
00:00:18,655 --> 00:00:20,571
Or wait, greetings.

12
00:00:20,614 --> 00:00:22,181
Greetings from John.

13
00:00:22,225 --> 00:00:24,182
Hey, can I talk to you?

14
00:00:24,227 --> 00:00:26,228
You tell my granddaughter
she can't play baseball?

15
00:00:26,271 --> 00:00:28,143
I was just looking out
for her, that's all.

16
00:00:28,186 --> 00:00:30,058
Well, you and me are
gonna have problems.

17
00:00:30,101 --> 00:00:32,061
MISSY:
Meemaw got a date
with the coach.

18
00:00:32,103 --> 00:00:34,976
What?It was a productive afternoon.

00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:36,978

Before that disembodied voice

00:00:42,244 --> 00:00:44,942
on AOL started saying,
"You've got mail,"

22
00:00:44,987 --> 00:00:46,902
we relied on my mom.

23
00:00:46,945 --> 00:00:49,600
Shelly, you've got mail!

24
00:00:49,643 --> 00:00:51,341
ADULT SHELDON:
Some mail brought great joy. Ooh!

25
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,777
Greetings, Mr. Spock.

26
00:00:53,822 --> 00:00:55,954
ADULT SHELDON:
Some mail brought pain.

27
00:00:55,997 --> 00:00:58,043
George, you got jury duty!

28

00:01:02,352 --> 00:01:04,701
Missy, you got something.

of the Klingon Empire

33
00:01:09,968 --> 00:01:13,231
and the Federation, which--
trust me-- was a doozy.

34
00:01:13,275 --> 00:01:14,581
What'd you get?

35
00:01:14,625 --> 00:01:16,713
An invitation
to Billy's birthday party.

36
00:01:16,757 --> 00:01:18,454
That's nice.

37
00:01:18,498 --> 00:01:21,066
I wonder where Sheldon's is.

Hey, Brenda. It's Mary.

40
00:01:23,503 --> 00:01:25,200
Oh, hey.MARY: So,

41
00:01:25,243 --> 00:01:27,724
we got Missy's invitation
to Billy's party.

42
00:01:27,769 --> 00:01:29,292
Great. Hope she can make it.

43
00:01:29,335 --> 00:01:31,598
But Sheldon's didn't arrive
for some reason.

44
00:01:31,641 --> 00:01:33,164
Maybe it got lost in the mail?

45
00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:34,731
It didn't get lost.

46
00:01:34,776 --> 00:01:36,515
What are you saying?

47
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,954
I think you know
what I'm saying.

48
00:01:38,996 --> 00:01:41,521
So Sheldon isn't invited?

49
00:01:41,564 --> 00:01:42,957
See? You knew. Bye.

Aren't you going
to walk me in?

I think you can manage it.

00:02:09,766 --> 00:02:11,725
Is it because you're trying

No.

Oh, hello, John.

It's nice to see you.

It's nice to see you, too.I assumed

66
00:02:24,347 --> 00:02:26,305
you stopped bringing
Sheldon to class

67
00:02:26,348 --> 00:02:29,091
'cause you were worried it would
be awkward running into me

the same question,

69
00:02:30,788 --> 00:02:33,224
but she assured me
that wasn't the case.

70
00:02:33,269 --> 00:02:34,662
What a relief!

71
00:02:34,704 --> 00:02:37,533
So, I suppose I'll
see you after class?

72
00:02:37,576 --> 00:02:39,710
I suppose you will.

73
00:02:39,753 --> 00:02:42,626
Now, didn't she used to
walk you to your seat?

74
00:02:42,670 --> 00:02:44,497
She did,
but she was younger then.

75
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:46,674
That makes sense. [knock on door]

76
00:02:46,716 --> 00:02:49,110
Sheldon and Billy
are friends.

77
00:02:49,153 --> 00:02:51,242
My son should be at his party.

78
00:02:51,287 --> 00:02:53,115
[sighs]
Look,

79
00:02:53,157 --> 00:02:55,639
I'm not trying
to be mean here.

80
00:02:55,682 --> 00:02:58,120
Billy has a tough enough
time with other kids

81
00:02:58,163 --> 00:03:01,079
without them seeing him pal
around with the local weirdo.

82
00:03:01,122 --> 00:03:03,168
I thought you weren't
trying to be mean.

83
00:03:03,211 --> 00:03:05,343
That was the nicest
way I could say it.

84
00:03:05,388 --> 00:03:08,608
Well, I'm not trying
to be mean here either,

85
00:03:08,651 --> 00:03:12,568
but you are behaving
very unneighborly.

86
00:03:12,611 --> 00:03:14,484
[scoffs] That was mean?

87
00:03:14,526 --> 00:03:16,747
You're darn tootin'.Tootin'?

88
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:19,444

Okay.

So if Einstein's analysis
of time is correct,

90
00:03:22,491 --> 00:03:24,276
the future's already happened,

91
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:27,365
but we'll discuss that
in more detail next week.

92
00:03:27,409 --> 00:03:30,586
Or perhaps we already have.Exactly. [laughs]

93
00:03:30,629 --> 00:03:32,807
Good one. Let's hit the road.

94
00:03:32,849 --> 00:03:34,111
It was nice seeing you, Connie.

95
00:03:34,156 --> 00:03:37,768
Uh, we should get coffee
sometime and catch up.

96
00:03:37,812 --> 00:03:42,076
Maybe, sure, yeah. We'll see.

97
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,034
What about, uh,
tomorrow morning?

98
00:03:44,079 --> 00:03:46,908
Oh, that's not great for me.

99
00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:49,474
Well, what about Sunday?

100
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:52,390
Mm, I can't do that either.
Maybe another time.

101
00:03:52,435 --> 00:03:55,350
Oh, I see.

102
00:03:55,394 --> 00:03:56,656
You should probably settle

103
00:03:56,699 --> 00:03:58,615
on a specific date
because when I want to go

104
00:03:58,657 --> 00:04:00,747
to RadioShack and my dad says,
"Maybe another time,"

105
00:04:00,790 --> 00:04:02,358
we never end up going.

106
00:04:02,401 --> 00:04:04,794
Thank you so much, Sheldon.
I think we got this.

107
00:04:04,838 --> 00:04:09,581
Yes. Well, uh, Sheldon, uh,
s-see you next week.

108
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:13,237
Bye. Can you explain why you
didn't settle on a specific date

109
00:04:13,281 --> 00:04:15,675
for coffee with
Dr. Sturgis?

110
00:04:15,718 --> 00:04:18,374
Maybe another time.
Okay.

111
00:04:18,417 --> 00:04:21,332
And then she said
she didn't want the other kids

112
00:04:21,377 --> 00:04:23,379
to see Billy hanging out
with Sheldon.

113
00:04:23,422 --> 00:04:25,076
That boy's only other friend
is a chicken

114
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,730
and she's worried about Sheldon?

115
00:04:26,774 --> 00:04:29,819
What do we do?
Tell Missy she can't go?

116
00:04:29,863 --> 00:04:31,343
If we're only gonna
let Missy go places

117
00:04:31,387 --> 00:04:32,562
where they want
to have Sheldon,

118
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,042
then she ain't gonna
get out much.

119
00:04:34,084 --> 00:04:35,913
Well, I don't think
it's right that...[TV turns on]

120
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:39,874
Sup.

121
00:04:39,917 --> 00:04:43,615
Excuse me. Can't you see that
your father and I are talking?

122
00:04:43,659 --> 00:04:45,836
Yeah, but you can
talk anywhere,

123
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,057
and this is the only room
in the house with a TV.

124
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:50,622
Get out of here.

125
00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:53,016
Suit yourself.[TV turns off]

126
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:54,802
But I'd like to point out,

127
00:04:54,845 --> 00:04:56,803
if you'd let me buy a TV
for my bedroom,

128
00:04:56,846 --> 00:04:58,848
we wouldn't be in this
situation, now would we?

129
00:04:58,892 --> 00:05:01,329
Go.

130
00:05:01,372 --> 00:05:03,113
I just hate

131
00:05:03,158 --> 00:05:05,028
that our little boy
gets left out.

132
00:05:05,072 --> 00:05:07,858
Me, too, but he should
probably get used to it.

133
00:05:07,901 --> 00:05:10,252
That's a terrible thing to say.

134
00:05:10,295 --> 00:05:13,821
Oh, come on, Mary, the boy's
not exactly a social butterfly.

135
00:05:13,863 --> 00:05:16,257
In fact, he's scared
of butterflies.

136
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:17,519
Besides,
it's their house.

137
00:05:17,562 --> 00:05:18,869
If they don't want him,

138
00:05:18,913 --> 00:05:20,478
there's nothing
you can do about it.

139
00:05:22,524 --> 00:05:26,093
Pastor Jeff, are you
still looking for a topic

140
00:05:26,137 --> 00:05:27,529
for this week's sermon?

141
00:05:27,572 --> 00:05:29,358
You mean the one I'm
doing in 20 minutes?

142
00:05:29,401 --> 00:05:32,490
Sorry, silly question.No.

143
00:05:32,534 --> 00:05:34,579
What do you got?
I was gonna do Noah's ark,

144
00:05:34,624 --> 00:05:36,800
but Sheldon's
gonna eat me alive,

145
00:05:36,843 --> 00:05:39,281
like those two lions would've
done to those two giraffes.

146
00:05:39,324 --> 00:05:42,805
Well, I've been thinking
about the importance

147
00:05:42,850 --> 00:05:44,851

A Pharisee once asked Jesus what

158
00:06:15,665 --> 00:06:18,014
the greatest commandment was,
and do you know what he said?

159
00:06:18,059 --> 00:06:20,670
Sheldon,
it's a rhetorical question.

160
00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:22,932
Aw.
He said it was

161
00:06:22,976 --> 00:06:27,197
to love God and love
your neighbor as yourself.

162
00:06:27,242 --> 00:06:29,548
And that's what I want
to talk about today,

163
00:06:29,591 --> 00:06:32,769
being a good neighbor.
How do we love our neighbors?

164
00:06:32,812 --> 00:06:34,901
We check in on them,

165
00:06:34,944 --> 00:06:36,947
we welcome them
into our homes.

166
00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:39,167
If we're having a party,
we invite them.

167
00:06:39,209 --> 00:06:41,038
Even if they're not
the most popular.Are you kidding me?

168
00:06:41,081 --> 00:06:42,430
Shh.

169
00:06:42,473 --> 00:06:44,389
Some of the Romans
thought he was a little weird,

170
00:06:44,432 --> 00:06:46,956
but if you invite him
into your heart,

171
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,047
you get to go to
the biggest party of all,

172
00:06:50,091 --> 00:06:51,656
the one in the sky.

173
00:06:51,701 --> 00:06:53,790
Ooh, a party
in the sky.

174
00:06:53,833 --> 00:06:55,879
Fun.
He means heaven.

175
00:06:55,923 --> 00:06:57,836
Or a blimp.

176
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,927

00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:19,396
before I bring up
my emotional state?

353
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,268
Oh, still want
to talk about that, huh?

354
00:14:22,311 --> 00:14:23,357
Well, I...

355
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,012
do think it would be
helpful for me.

356
00:14:26,055 --> 00:14:30,016
Uh, we got seven minutes
till kickoff.[TV turns off]

357
00:14:30,059 --> 00:14:32,496
Have at it.Where to begin?
[chuckles]

358
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:35,978
I saw Connie for the first time
since I broke up with her,

359
00:14:36,022 --> 00:14:38,763
and it was harder
than I expected.

360
00:14:38,806 --> 00:14:40,809
[chuckles]:
Well, breakups can be rough.

361
00:14:40,853 --> 00:14:43,333
I thought I was doing
the right thing by her,

362
00:14:43,377 --> 00:14:45,901
but now it seems
that I've lost her,

363
00:14:45,945 --> 00:14:49,643
not only as a romantic partner,
but even as a friend.

364
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:52,473
Women, huh?I've been feeling

365
00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:55,911
the loss very profoundly
and it's making me wonder

366
00:14:55,954 --> 00:14:58,174
if she also is feeling lonely

367
00:14:58,218 --> 00:15:01,525
and I made a bad decision
for both of us.

368
00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:06,355
I hate to be the one
to tell you this, John,

369
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,749
but, uh...

370
00:15:08,794 --> 00:15:11,143
she's kind of been
seeing someone new

371
00:15:11,186 --> 00:15:13,146
and, uh...

372
00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:15,321
she seems to be
doing okay.

373
00:15:15,364 --> 00:15:18,978
I see.

374
00:15:19,021 --> 00:15:20,675
[stammers]

375
00:15:20,719 --> 00:15:22,155
Is she happy?

376
00:15:22,198 --> 00:15:25,331
Hard to tell.
Her face is all scrunched up

377
00:15:25,374 --> 00:15:27,638
and pinched
most of the time.

378
00:15:27,681 --> 00:15:31,555
Well, I hope this man she's
seeing treats her well.

379
00:15:32,730 --> 00:15:34,123
He seems okay.

380
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:37,736
I also hope he gets lost
at sea and never returns.

381
00:15:39,041 --> 00:15:41,913
I'm having a lot
of feelings.

382
00:15:41,956 --> 00:15:44,656
Well, when that happens to me,
I have another beer.

383
00:15:44,699 --> 00:15:47,267
I haven't finished
this one yet.

384
00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:48,571
More for me.

385
00:15:50,357 --> 00:15:53,489
Ensign Sparks, there appears
to be a white object

386
00:15:53,533 --> 00:15:56,276
under this chicken.It's called an egg.

387
00:15:56,319 --> 00:15:59,408
Interesting. What is its
function on this planet?

388
00:15:59,453 --> 00:16:03,195
People eat them and throw them
at me on Halloween.

389
00:16:03,238 --> 00:16:05,546
What are you doing out here?

390
00:16:05,589 --> 00:16:07,026
Playing with Sheldon.

391
00:16:07,069 --> 00:16:08,549
You're missing your party.

392
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:10,028
But I'm having fun.

393
00:16:10,071 --> 00:16:12,378
Do not be alarmed,
our mission is one of peace.

394
00:16:12,421 --> 00:16:15,773
I'm gonna go have a little chat
with your mother.

395
00:16:17,339 --> 00:16:19,473
Seems unlikely;
my mother's on Vulcan.

396
00:16:19,516 --> 00:16:21,517
My mom is on Valium.

397
00:16:35,401 --> 00:16:37,969
Oh, they scored
another touchdown.

398
00:16:38,012 --> 00:16:40,146
That's just
a replay, John.

399
00:16:40,189 --> 00:16:41,581
[laughs]

400
00:16:43,627 --> 00:16:46,674
Hey.Connie.

401
00:16:46,718 --> 00:16:49,416
I saw your bike outside,
so I-I thought I'd just,

402
00:16:49,459 --> 00:16:52,374
uh, say hi.

403
00:16:52,419 --> 00:16:54,160
Well, that's so nice of you.

404
00:16:54,202 --> 00:16:56,248
I don't mean to interrupt
or anything.

405
00:16:56,292 --> 00:16:59,948
I just wanted to... check in.

406
00:17:01,383 --> 00:17:03,690
Would it be awkward
if I asked her to join us?

407
00:17:03,735 --> 00:17:06,432
Oh, couldn't be
any more awkward.

408
00:17:06,476 --> 00:17:09,087
Would you like to, uh,
watch the game with us?

409
00:17:09,131 --> 00:17:10,524
It's-it's football.

410
00:17:10,566 --> 00:17:13,047
Well, sure. [chuckles]

411
00:17:13,092 --> 00:17:14,484
I guess a...

412
00:17:14,527 --> 00:17:16,529
little visit wouldn't hurt.

413
00:17:17,835 --> 00:17:19,924
Excellent.

414
00:17:19,968 --> 00:17:23,189
Let me guess,
you brought the grapes.

415
00:17:23,231 --> 00:17:25,364
I did.
[laughs]

416
00:17:30,936 --> 00:17:32,459
Hey, how many of those
have you had?

417
00:17:32,501 --> 00:17:34,373
So many!

418
00:17:35,548 --> 00:17:36,854
[door closes]

419
00:17:36,898 --> 00:17:38,639
Hope you're happy.

420
00:17:38,681 --> 00:17:41,423
Billy's missing his own party
'cause he's playing spaceman

421
00:17:41,468 --> 00:17:43,513
in the chicken coop
with your son.

422
00:17:45,950 --> 00:17:48,823
You were right. I shouldn't have
made you invite him.

423
00:17:48,866 --> 00:17:50,084
I'm sorry.

424
00:17:52,784 --> 00:17:54,915
Okay.

425
00:17:54,959 --> 00:17:57,266
Well, good.

426
00:17:57,309 --> 00:18:00,966
It's just hard
to see him be left out.

427
00:18:01,008 --> 00:18:04,664
And I worry it's not gonna
get better when he grows older.

428
00:18:06,884 --> 00:18:09,975
Can't say that Billy
is exactly Mr. Popular either.

429
00:18:12,019 --> 00:18:13,978
I'm sure this kind of stuff
bothers me

430
00:18:14,021 --> 00:18:15,806
way more than
it bothers Sheldon.

431
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,202
Doesn't make it any easier,
does it?

432
00:18:21,247 --> 00:18:23,596
No.

433
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,686
I'm gonna take Shelly back home

434
00:18:25,728 --> 00:18:29,297
so that Billy can
get back to his party.
Eh.

435
00:18:29,342 --> 00:18:31,997
You know, they're
having fun out there.

436
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:33,519
[door opens]

437
00:18:33,563 --> 00:18:35,957
SHELDON:
Gallus gallus domesticus
pooped on my uniform!

438
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,612
The mission
is compromised!

439
00:18:39,655 --> 00:18:41,833
Maybe take him home.Yeah.

440
00:18:44,398 --> 00:18:47,228
I've got something here for
both of you. It's from Billy.

441
00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:49,185
I hope it's not
another invitation.

442
00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:51,797
It's probably a thank you note.

443
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,669
So now I have to write
a you're welcome note?

444
00:18:53,711 --> 00:18:55,236
You people are killing me.

445
00:18:55,278 --> 00:18:56,540
"Dear Sheldon
and Missy,

446
00:18:56,585 --> 00:18:58,194
"thank you for coming
to my party.

447
00:18:58,239 --> 00:19:00,022
"I liked playing with Mr. Spock

448
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:02,286
and watching Missy throw up
Kool-Aid in the bushes."

449
00:19:02,329 --> 00:19:04,244
Still tasted like cherry.

450
00:19:04,288 --> 00:19:07,943
"My mother also threw up,
but that was because of wine.

451
00:19:07,987 --> 00:19:10,511
My dad says she
drinks because..."Okay, that's nice.

452
00:19:10,555 --> 00:19:12,991
But there's more.No, there's not.

453
00:19:13,036 --> 00:19:15,951
Guess we'll never know
why she drinks.
