00:08:02,115 --> 00:08:03,617
Oh, sure.

187
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:09,056
George Cooper?

188
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:10,157
Yes, ma'am.

189
00:08:10,257 --> 00:08:12,760
Looks a little big for you.

190
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:14,728
(chuckles) It's my dad's.

191
00:08:14,828 --> 00:08:16,564
Nice of you
to pick it up for him.

192
00:08:16,664 --> 00:08:19,232
That'll be
eight dollars.

193
00:08:24,805 --> 00:08:25,839
(sighs)

194
00:08:25,939 --> 00:08:27,107
What you doing?

195
00:08:27,207 --> 00:08:30,510
Trying to write my speech
for the funeral.

196
00:08:30,611 --> 00:08:31,745
Mmm.

197
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:32,980
Not easy, is it?

198
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,615
No.

199
00:08:34,715 --> 00:08:35,448
Where's Dale?

200
00:08:35,549 --> 00:08:37,284
Oh, he was wandering around,

201
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:39,820
afraid to sit anywhere,
so I sent him home.

202
00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:43,490
Anyway, you want to
read me what you got?

203
00:08:43,591 --> 00:08:45,125
(exhales):
Uh...

204
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,327
(sighs)

205
00:08:47,427 --> 00:08:49,196
George was a good husband,

206
00:08:49,296 --> 00:08:51,765
a good father
and a good coach.

207
00:08:52,766 --> 00:08:54,334
Keep going.

208
00:08:54,434 --> 00:08:56,704
No, that's
all I got.
Oh.

209
00:08:56,804 --> 00:08:57,871
Short and sweet.

210
00:08:57,971 --> 00:08:59,139
Leave 'em
wanting more.

211
00:08:59,239 --> 00:09:02,009
I don't know
how to do this.

212
00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:03,944
Oh, honey,

213
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:05,713
why would you?

214
00:09:06,947 --> 00:09:09,249
How did you get through
Dad's funeral?

215
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:11,819
You're gonna think less of me.

216
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:13,020
I won't.

217
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,221
I drank tequila and smoked

218
00:09:14,321 --> 00:09:15,856
a marijuana cigarette.

219
00:09:15,956 --> 00:09:17,257
Oh, Mom.

220
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:19,860
Don't knock it
till you try it.

221
00:09:21,328 --> 00:09:23,764
I'll have you know

222
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:26,967
that I took a couple of puffs
my senior year of high school.

223
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:28,401
The devil's lettuce?

224
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:30,237
George gave it to me.

225
00:09:30,337 --> 00:09:32,706
I knew he was
a bad influence.

226
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:34,141
(laughs)

227
00:09:34,975 --> 00:09:38,345
It was the night before
he shipped out to Vietnam.

228
00:09:39,446 --> 00:09:41,348
And we snuck
into my bedroom

229
00:09:41,448 --> 00:09:43,116
and we... you know.

230
00:09:43,216 --> 00:09:45,518
Mary Tucker.
(chuckles)

231
00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:48,822
I wanted to make sure he knew
what he was fighting for.

232
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:52,459
See, that's a story
you should tell at the service.

233
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,195
In my church,
in front of my children?

234
00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:57,197
It's patriotic.

235
00:09:58,632 --> 00:10:01,268
I can't help feeling like

236
00:10:01,368 --> 00:10:02,903
something's wrong with me.

237
00:10:03,003 --> 00:10:04,004
What are you talking about?

238
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:05,105
(sighs)

239
00:10:05,205 --> 00:10:06,674
I know it doesn't make sense,

240
00:10:06,774 --> 00:10:10,610
but... I am mad at him
for leaving me.

241
00:10:10,711 --> 00:10:13,246
Yeah, I get that.
You do?

242
00:10:14,047 --> 00:10:16,083
I was mad at your daddy
when he passed.

243
00:10:16,183 --> 00:10:18,051
How did you get over it?

244
00:10:18,151 --> 00:10:19,953
Time.

245
00:10:20,921 --> 00:10:23,791
And Dale helps.
Don't tell him, please.

246
00:10:23,891 --> 00:10:24,692
(chuckles)

247
00:10:24,792 --> 00:10:26,593
I'm happy you found each other.

248
00:10:26,694 --> 00:10:29,229
You're still young, honey.

249
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:31,999
No.

250
00:10:32,099 --> 00:10:33,033
(clears throat)

251
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:34,768
That's it for me. I'm done.

252
00:10:37,004 --> 00:10:38,906
I'll leave you to it.

253
00:10:39,006 --> 00:10:40,040
Thanks.

254
00:10:40,808 --> 00:10:42,275
And listen,
if you can't think of

255
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:43,911
anything complimentary to say,

256
00:10:44,011 --> 00:10:45,946
just make stuff up.

257
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:47,047
Nobody's gonna call you on it.

258
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:49,282
Sheldon will.

259
00:10:51,018 --> 00:10:52,185
Yeah.

260
00:10:52,285 --> 00:10:53,721
Sheldon will.

261
00:10:53,821 --> 00:10:54,922
(laughs)

262
00:10:55,022 --> 00:10:56,323
GEORGE SR.:
<i>You want a ride to school?</i>

263
00:10:56,423 --> 00:10:58,191
MISSY:
<i>Nah, I'll take the bus.</i>

264
00:10:58,291 --> 00:10:59,893
GEORGE SR.:
<i>Suit yourself.</i>

265
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:02,329
See y'all later.

266
00:11:02,429 --> 00:11:03,697
4:00.

267
00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:07,200
Dad, wait.

268
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:08,869
Yeah?

269
00:11:08,969 --> 00:11:11,004
Can I go with you?

270
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:12,572
Sure.

271
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:14,674
Maybe we could play
some of them car games you love

272
00:11:14,775 --> 00:11:15,709
on the way.

273
00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:17,811
I'd like that.

274
00:11:29,056 --> 00:11:31,324
(organ playing)

275
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:38,498
Mary.

276
00:11:38,598 --> 00:11:39,632
We're so sorry.

277
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:40,968
Thank you.

278
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:42,169
Well, I didn't know him long,

279
00:11:42,269 --> 00:11:44,872
but, uh, I loved that guy.

280
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,941
He felt like
y'all were long-lost friends.

281
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,910
(voice breaking):
Oh, here we go.

282
00:11:50,010 --> 00:11:52,445
Come on, let's get you
some Kleenex.

283
00:11:53,747 --> 00:11:54,948
Aren't y'all sweet to come?

284
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,649
Of course.

285
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:58,618
I saw Sheldon the other day.

286
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,120
He wouldn't speak to me.

287
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:02,189
Is he okay?

288
00:12:02,289 --> 00:12:04,691
He's not really
talking to anybody.

289
00:12:04,792 --> 00:12:06,259
We'll keep him company.

290
00:12:06,359 --> 00:12:07,694
I'll, uh, try to distract him

291
00:12:07,795 --> 00:12:10,530
by telling him the latest news
about leptons.

292
00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:11,932
He'll like that.

293
00:12:12,032 --> 00:12:14,067
He's crazy about the leptons.

294
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:16,403
Who isn't?
(chuckles)

295
00:12:19,172 --> 00:12:20,941
How'd you know George?

296
00:12:21,041 --> 00:12:22,309
Next-door neighbor.

297
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:23,343
Oh.

298
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:24,778
So, you knew him well?

299
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:27,147
A little.

300
00:12:27,915 --> 00:12:28,816
How about you?

301
00:12:28,916 --> 00:12:30,617
I taught Sheldon science.

302
00:12:30,717 --> 00:12:32,085
Oh, I'm sorry.

303
00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,686
Thank you.

304
00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:36,089
I'm single.

305
00:12:36,189 --> 00:12:37,457
Same.
Mm-hmm.

306
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:38,826
Missy,

307
00:12:38,926 --> 00:12:40,928
if you want a minute with Dad
before they close the casket,

308
00:12:41,028 --> 00:12:42,329
now's the time.

309
00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:45,565
It's okay if you don't.

310
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:49,036
I have to.

311
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,582
GEORGE SR.:
<i>Here, let me help you with that.</i>

312
00:13:02,682 --> 00:13:04,351
Okay.

313
00:13:08,255 --> 00:13:09,489
Holy moly.

314
00:13:09,589 --> 00:13:10,657
It's good, huh?

315
00:13:10,757 --> 00:13:11,724
Unbelievable.

316
00:13:11,825 --> 00:13:12,759
I'll leave you to it.

317
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:14,727
No, sit with me.

318
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,064
Okay.

319
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:21,134
(crying):
Thank you for that.

320
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:26,739
Thank you for everything.

321
00:13:30,577 --> 00:13:32,212
I love you.

322
00:13:38,218 --> 00:13:39,619
(sniffles)

323
00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:42,322
You don't need to worry.

324
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:46,226
I've got everything
under control.

325
00:13:47,861 --> 00:13:50,097
(breathes deeply)

326
00:13:50,998 --> 00:13:52,900
Won't let you down, Dad.

327
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,267
(sniffles)

328
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,473
Sheldon,
they're gonna close the casket.

329
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:03,110
If you want to
say goodbye to your dad...

330
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:16,589
You really didn't want to take
that family portrait, did you?

331
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:24,631
See you later.

332
00:14:25,832 --> 00:14:28,301
(cries)

333
00:14:29,669 --> 00:14:32,272
When I quit the football team,

334
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:35,342
I thought my dad
was gonna kill me.

335
00:14:35,442 --> 00:14:38,211
And then,
when I quit high school,

336
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:40,547
I really thought
he was gonna kill me.

337
00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:45,085
Then, when I got
my girlfriend pregnant...

338
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:47,354
I was sure he was gonna kill me.

339
00:14:47,454 --> 00:14:50,557
But as you can see, he didn't.

340
00:14:52,592 --> 00:14:54,494
No matter what I did,

341
00:14:54,594 --> 00:14:56,629
he always had my back.

342
00:15:00,033 --> 00:15:01,568
I love you, Dad.

343
00:15:02,369 --> 00:15:04,871
And now
George's loving wife Mary

344
00:15:04,972 --> 00:15:06,706
would like to say a few words.

345
00:15:06,806 --> 00:15:07,840
Mary.

346
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:13,046
MARY:
Thank you, Pastor Jeff.

347
00:15:13,146 --> 00:15:14,714
Um... (clears throat)

348
00:15:14,814 --> 00:15:16,449
(breathes deeply)

349
00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:18,885
I met George in high school.

350
00:15:18,986 --> 00:15:21,955
Well, I was in high school.

351
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:23,156
He was an older man

352
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:24,691
with a motorcycle.
(light laughter)

353
00:15:24,791 --> 00:15:27,394
I'd like to tell you
he caught my eye,

354
00:15:27,494 --> 00:15:29,796
but actually
it was the motorcycle.

355
00:15:29,896 --> 00:15:32,199
(laughter)

356
00:15:34,634 --> 00:15:36,503
(voice breaking):
I'm sorry, I can't...

357
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:37,304
do this.

358
00:15:37,404 --> 00:15:38,805
I am...

359
00:15:38,905 --> 00:15:41,674
so angry.

360
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:42,775
(sighs)

361
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:44,677
George and I had
our ups and downs,

362
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:47,147
but we were finally
in such a good place,

363
00:15:47,247 --> 00:15:49,716
and then he...

364
00:15:49,816 --> 00:15:51,451
left.

365
00:15:52,652 --> 00:15:54,154
(crying):
He left all of us.

366
00:15:54,254 --> 00:15:56,756
How-how could you do that?

367
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:58,425
I am so mad at him.

368
00:15:58,525 --> 00:16:01,561
I'm mad at God,
I'm mad at myself

369
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:04,297
for not trying harder
while he was here.

370
00:16:04,397 --> 00:16:07,300
This wasn't supposed to happen.

371
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,736
(crying)
Okay. Oh.

372
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:14,241
Thank you, thank you,
darling, thank you.

373
00:16:14,341 --> 00:16:16,343
Jeff, could you...?

374
00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:24,184
Very heartfelt.

375
00:16:24,951 --> 00:16:28,288
I know this is hard
for everyone.

376
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:30,490
It's certainly hard for me.

377
00:16:31,291 --> 00:16:34,327
But no one...

378
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:37,164
is more upset

379
00:16:37,264 --> 00:16:39,266
with George's passing

380
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:41,134
than the Lone Star Beer company.

381
00:16:41,234 --> 00:16:43,070
That flag is at half-mast.

382
00:16:43,170 --> 00:16:45,072
(laughter)

383
00:16:45,172 --> 00:16:47,274
On the other hand,
there's a lot of cows out there

384
00:16:47,374 --> 00:16:50,643
that are breathing
a sigh of relief.

385
00:16:51,444 --> 00:16:54,013
As the king of brisket has

386
00:16:54,114 --> 00:16:57,684
put down his fork
and ridden off into the sunset.

387
00:16:57,784 --> 00:16:59,619
(laughter)

388
00:16:59,719 --> 00:17:01,554
And, uh, I'll tell you
something...
Why are they laughing at Dad?

389
00:17:01,654 --> 00:17:03,856
'Cause they love him.
...that I always

390
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:05,558
kind of kept to myself,

391
00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,026
but...

392
00:17:07,127 --> 00:17:09,762
I wasn't always a big supporter

393
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,865
of George and Mary
being an item.

394
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:14,701
As a matter of fact,

395
00:17:14,801 --> 00:17:16,669
whenever he came to visit,

396
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:20,273
I would always invite Mary's
slutty friend Janice over,

397
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:24,211
hoping to catch his interest.

398
00:17:24,311 --> 00:17:26,213
(laughter)
Hey, Janice.

399
00:17:26,313 --> 00:17:28,014
Thanks for coming.
You're a doll.

400
00:17:28,115 --> 00:17:29,982
Anyway...

401
00:17:32,219 --> 00:17:36,089
George only had eyes for Mary.

402
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,126
And of course brisket.

403
00:17:39,226 --> 00:17:42,129
(laughter)

404
00:17:42,229 --> 00:17:44,264
And over the years,

405
00:17:44,364 --> 00:17:47,134
he surely earned my respect.

406
00:17:47,234 --> 00:17:48,968
♪ ♪

407
00:17:49,969 --> 00:17:52,305
He was a good man.

408
00:17:53,173 --> 00:17:57,144
(voice breaking):
And I will always be proud...

409
00:17:57,244 --> 00:17:59,746
to call him my son.

410
00:18:14,994 --> 00:18:18,365
(crying)

411
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:26,606
Okay. Okay.

412
00:18:27,674 --> 00:18:31,844
Uh, what Wayne here
is trying to say,

413
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:36,383
uh, is, uh, George was
a hell of a coach.

414
00:18:38,818 --> 00:18:40,887
He was a hell of a friend.

415
00:18:42,088 --> 00:18:43,923
And we're gonna miss him
a hell of a lot.

416
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:47,059
Thank you.

417
00:18:52,765 --> 00:18:54,767
Before our final prayer,

418
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:57,404
would anyone else like
to say a few words?

419
00:18:57,504 --> 00:18:59,339
Missy?

420
00:18:59,439 --> 00:19:01,174
(mouths)

421
00:19:02,108 --> 00:19:03,843
Shelly?

422
00:19:08,415 --> 00:19:09,649
(clears throat)

423
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,327
I've been thinking a lot about

424
00:19:20,427 --> 00:19:22,429
the last moments
I had with my dad.

425
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:26,433
It was morning,
and he was leaving for work.

426
00:19:27,734 --> 00:19:29,836
He said, "See y'all later."

427
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:32,972
And I said nothing.

428
00:19:34,407 --> 00:19:36,108
I regret that.

429
00:19:37,277 --> 00:19:40,580
I could have said "Bye"
or asked him for a ride.

430
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:43,082
Or told him that I loved him.

431
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:44,551
But I didn't.

432
00:19:46,353 --> 00:19:48,588
I barely noticed he left.

433
00:19:50,723 --> 00:19:55,862
So many times that
I didn't notice my father.

434
00:19:58,865 --> 00:20:01,468
I hope he knew
how much I loved him.

435
00:20:02,635 --> 00:20:03,836
ADULT SHELDON:

436
00:20:03,936 --> 00:20:05,905

00:20:06,806 --> 00:20:07,907

Shelly?

439
00:20:14,914 --> 00:20:17,950
Let's bow our heads in prayer.

440
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:21,454
ALL:
Our Father, who is in heaven,

441
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:23,656
hallowed be Your name...

443
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:28,695

my father's shortcomings.</i>

<i>Now that I'm his age
and have kids of my own,</i>

445

<i>I realize he was just a person
doing the best he could,</i>

446
00:20:36,936 --> 00:20:39,238
<i>and he did a lot.</i>

447
00:20:40,006 --> 00:20:41,708
<i>I didn't say it at his funeral,</i>

448
00:20:41,808 --> 00:20:44,444
<i>but I can say it now.</i>

449
00:20:44,544 --> 00:20:46,379
