All language subtitles for S07E04 - Ants on a Log and a Cheating Winker

Previously on Young Sheldon...

Missy, I'm really impressed

how you stepped up.
Thanks.

Good morning.
Eggs are on the table.

Here's some toast.
Bacon's coming up.

Wow, look at you being Mom.

You're watching CeeCee today.

Well, who put you in charge?

Okay, just asking.

Excited to be going home?

This is home.
I'm always here.

But I am excited to share

everything I've learned
with my colleagues.

That's nice.

Scientifically speaking,
they're savages

covered in their own filth, and
I'll be bringing them the light.

There's probably a nicer way
to say that.
Oh, there is.

But if a summer in Germany
has taught me anything,

it's that brutal honesty is
its own kind of love.

I'll crochet that
on a pillow.
Mm.

Mark my words,
string theory is going to be

the next big thing.

What does it do?

It explains the fundamental
forces of the universe.

How everything works,
where everything came from.

I know where it all came from.

Mother, we're in the sky.
Why are you pointing up?

Oh, there's no reason
to do that.

It's just irregular motion
of air around the plane

caused by temperature changes.

Oh, that was a big one.

And given our altitude,
perfectly predictable.

The pilot has turned on

the seatbelt sign.

Please return to your seat.

A reasonable precaution.

Snug as a bug.

Would you like me to
include you in my prayers?

No, thanks,
I don't need to seek help

from an invisible man.

You're right, you've got

your invisible strings.

Sorry for the delay.

We hope to be wheels up
in about 20 minutes.

That's what he said
20 minutes ago.

Nothing we can do.

If we don't take off soon,
we'll miss

our connecting flight
to Houston.

It's out of
our hands.

I'd tell you
whose hands it's in,

but you don't like that.

Babies.

Why'd it have to be babies?

Oh, relax.

He'll cry himself out.

You won't even
know he's there.

Please tell that mother
to quiet her baby.

Sometimes moms
can't make their kids be quiet

no matter how much they try.

What're you doing?

Trying to get
my ears to pop.

Want a piece
of gum?

Is it
cinnamon gum?

Yeah.

I have
enough problems.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Hi!

Welcome home.

Great.
Hey, Mary.

Look, Mother, more babies.

I cannot wait to
sleep in my own bed.

You didn't tell him
on the plane?

Tell me what?
I thought
you were gonna

tell him
in the car.

Well, he was
grumpy in the car.

How do you think
he was on the plane?

I'll tell him.
You stay out of this.

Tell me what?

Well, for God's sake.
Me and Georgie

and the baby have been
staying in your room.

Oh, that makes sense.

I was out of town,
there was a tornado,

you needed a place to live.

So you're okay with it?

Oh, no, I'm home now. Get out.

No.

Well, hang on,
we'll handle this.

You heard her, Sheldon,
she doesn't want to leave.

But it's my room.

Well, and it's my house.

Our house.

Sure.

Why can't they
stay in the garage?

Why can't you stay
in the garage?

I'm neither a car

nor a box
of Christmas ornaments.

Sheldon, my grandbaby's
not sleeping in the garage.

Our grandbaby.

Sure.

Look, I slept out there.
It's not that bad.

Hey, there's even
a sink you can pee in.

That is
not helpful.

You used it.

It was
an emergency.

I go away for a few months

and my family turns into
a bunch of hillbillies.

All right,
it's been a long day,

everybody's tired.

Why don't you just
sleep on the couch

and we'll figure this out
tomorrow, hmm?

Fine.

Oh.

What?

My ears finally popped.

Testing, testing.

One, two, three.

Testing.

So, Sheldon's home.

Hello? Hello?
Somebody say something.

Oh, Lord,
I missed you.

Oh-ho.
I missed you, too.

I was talking to
the bed.

Been a while since
we've been apart so long.

Oh, I know.

A long time for a man
to be without his wife.

George, I want to,

but I just spent 18 hours
with you know who.

I need to sleep.

Understood.

Wouldn't take long,
but understood.

I promise, if you wait,
it'll be worth it.

I might even have

a little
surprise for you.

Ooh, I like
the sound of that.

All right,
I can wait.

But if you can't wait,

just give me
a poke in the ribs.

I'll be ready
right quick.

♪ I couldn't sleep
at all last night ♪

♪ Well, I was tossing
and turning ♪

♪ Turning and tossing ♪

♪ Tossing and turning ♪

♪ All night. ♪

What?

The baby's crying.

You really are a genius.

Nope.

Hello.

Meemaw, it's me.

Shelly.

Everything okay?

No, everything's terrible.

The baby stole my room
and won't stop crying

and now they're making me
sleep in the garage.

What do you need me to do?

Pick me up
and I can stay with you.

Oh, well, this is Dale's house.

I have to ask him.

Ask me what?

It's Shelly.
He wants to spend the night.

Oh, yeah, it'd be nice
to see the little guy.

Dale says no.
See you in the morning.

Oh, slept in.

Morning.

Morning.
Morning.

What's all this?

Breakfast.
Who made it?

Me. I can heat it up.

No, no.

Georgie, what're
you doing?

What does it look like? Dishes.

Since when?

It's my day.

Oh.

Look, a chore chart.
I made one of those.

Y'all ignored it.

They don't ignore it
if you stop feeding them.

That was a long weekend.

Georgie, bathroom.

Thank you.

Crowded house, one bathroom.

We needed a schedule.

Smart.

Can I help with anything?

Nope, just enjoy
your breakfast.

Thank you.

Hey, maybe we can
spend the day together.

That sounds nice,

but I promised Taylor
I'd help him

buy some back-to-school clothes.

Oh, yeah, Taylor.

When do I get to meet him?

He's just a friend, Mom.
Don't be weird.

I wasn't being weird.

Where were you?

Garage.

Oh. Sleep okay?

Not a wink,
but thank you for asking.

Huh.

What?

I need to use the bathroom.

Well, too bad,
it's my turn.

Check the schedule.

I don't see a schedule.

Look on
the fridge.

Mmm.

He's right, it's his turn.

This is going to be close.

So, how's it going,

you two living together?

She's leaving out,
"in sin."

I didn't say it.

Well, don't we get
a pass for being old?

I didn't say anything.

With his back being all askew,

there's not much
sinning going on.

Well, not none.

We find ways to be creative.

I don't
want to know.

So, what's going on
with your house?

Well, I'm
gonna rebuild.

It's just gonna
take a while.

In the meantime,
she has a home.

Oh, thank you for that.

With a man who gives
her plenty of loving.

Anyways,

how are you doing?

It must feel good
to be home.

Yeah.

I guess.

Hmm. What's wrong?
Well,

they have everything
running pretty smooth

without me, so...

feeling a little displaced.

Hmm, a little
displaced.
Mm-hmm.

'Cause your home,

which was not
blown away in the tornado,

is running smooth.

Oh, no, I didn't mean...

You know
what I mean.
Just hang on.

What're you doing?

Tell you what,
next time you start feeling

sorry for yourself for
being a little displaced,

you just take a gander at

my home of
47 years.

I'm sorry.

This is terrible.

Yeah, I took that
picture with my Minolta.

Made the front page
of the local paper.

I got a copy of it
around here somewhere.

She don't
wanna see it.

Of course she does.

Go on, keep running!

Y'all look like
you haven't moved all summer!

Come on!

Lopez, what, are you
taking a break out there?

I think he's
throwing up, Coach.

Good stuff, Lopez!

Hey.

Well, hey, Mary.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

That's a nice surprise.

Well, I just thought
I'd come hang out,

watch you turn this
ragtag bunch of kids

into state champs.

George, you didn't tell me
Germany made her funny.

Hey, I think we got
a real shot this year.

Lopez, what the hell
did you eat?

What you got there,
Mary?

Oh, I made some snacks
for the team.

Oh, did you bring anything
for the coaches?

Just a little sugar.

Ooh.

So, we over
the jet lag?

I think so.

Okay, now
I'm gonna puke.

Grow up.

I returned home from Germany

to a family which
no longer cherished me.

But I knew somewhere
I was still valued,

where I was still
the center of attention.

And, most importantly,
where I had my own bathroom.

Excuse me.

Hello?

What are you doing
in my room?

What are you doing in my room?

That's what I asked you,
and I asked first.

This is my room.

Well, then how come my key
opened the door?

I don't care. Go away.

Wait. I'm not
going anywhere.

Hmm?

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay.

All righty then.

What?

What are you
working on?

Uh, I'm writing
a Pascal compiler

for an alpha processor.

I don't understand.

Uh...

Here.

Thanks.

What's your name?

Do you mind? I'm reading.

Okay.

Sheldon Cooper.

What?

I finished reading,
and my name's Sheldon Cooper.

Wh... You finished it?
Yes.

No, you didn't.

Uh...

How can I program this
with a reduced instruction set?

Use a lexicographic
ordering algorithm.

Impressive.

You should major
in computer science.

No, thanks,
I'll stick to real science.

Wh-- Dude, this is the future.

I mean, computers are gonna
change the whole world.

Maybe commerce, communications,
media and banking,

but nothing
important.

Uh, what's so important
about what you're studying?

String theory,
where do I begin?

It explains
everything.

It unifies the fundamental
forces in an elegant way.

Yeah, but what does it do?

Hmm...

Get out.

No rush.
There's plenty to go around.

All right, guys, wrap it up.
We got blocking drills to run.

George, can't you let them
catch their breath?
No.

You heard Coach, hit the sleds.
Let's go.

Oh, the sleds,
I love the sleds.

Whoo!

Ants on a log?
No.

They're not real ants.
It's raisins.

I know what
they are, Wayne.

You guys are doing great!

State champs!

Whoo!

Well, that was
Chernobyl-adjacent.

Sorry, still getting
used to Tex-Mex.

You don't have to be
from Texas to flush.

Noted.

You, uh, grow up around here?

Medford. It's not as nice
as it sounds.

Oh.

Yeah, now you ask
where I'm from.

I don't do that.

Cool.

Oh, so what is
the girl situation here?

I don't do that either.

You into guys?

I'm into science.

Everything else
is a distraction.

So... no video games?

Star Fire?

Hasn't even been released yet.
I'm a beta tester.

Oh, my.

I didn't know his name

or where he was from,

but he was my new best friend.

Well...

this was a fun,

special,

one-time thing,
wasn't it?

Actually,

I was thinking
I could keep doing it,

kind of like
a team mom.

Team mom.

Yeah,
I think the boys

really enjoyed
having me here.

Mary, sit with me.

Yeah.

Oh, honey,
it's-it's been

so good having you back.
Oh, thank you.

Oh.

You know,
when I was in Germany,

I was thinking

we should do more...
Hold that thought.

Thing is,
these practices aren't meant

to be enjoyed.

They're meant
to be endured,

survived.

Hated, actually.

That sounds terrible.
Uh, no.

It's a good thing because then
they take that hate

and they unleash it
on the other team.

Sounds like you're
turning them into monsters.

There you go, and monsters
don't have team moms.

Let me help you get
this crap in the car.

I can't kill this guardian.
He's too strong.

Move over.

What are you doing?
Hang on.

- Weapons upgrade.
- Try now.

Ooh, that's a big gun.
How'd you do that?

I just put in the cheat code.

Excuse me?
I do not cheat.

Wh... No, it's not cheating,
you know,

it's-it's like
a-a secret command

that gives you extra powers.

And it's called
a what code?

Wh... No.

It's part of the game, you know.
They build it in.

So you condone
cheating?

Yeah, but, you know,
with a wink.

I don't like
winking either.

What's wrong with winking?

At the end of the day, it
leaves you with an uneven number

of blinks per eye.

That's insane.

Oh, I'm insane?
You're the cheating winker.

Are you from California?

Oh, now you want to know
where I'm from.

I think I know enough.
Goodbye.

Thanks for cleaning up.

You're welcome.

Also, the toilet bowl
is still disinfecting,

so I wouldn't use it
for another 20 to 30 minutes.

I'll keep the room clean
if you keep the game clean.

Okay.

We had had our first fight,

but, at the end of the day,
it really brought

what's-his-name and I
closer together.

Hmm.

Ugh.

I miss Germany.

Hey.
Hi.

Everything okay?
Fine.

Do you want
to watch a movie or...

No.

I miss Germany.

Honey?

You okay?

Go away.

All right, well,
I'm here if you want to talk.

Taylor broke up with me.

Oh, baby.

Oh.

Oh...

Please don't tell Dad.

He didn't know
we were going out.

Of course.
It's none of his business.

I'm glad you're back.
Me, too.

Do you want to tell me
what happened?

Mm-hmm.

It took 14 hours

and 211 lives...

...but I emerged victorious.

Hey, cheater guy,
I won.

Fair and square.

What time is it?

7:42 a.m.

We should celebrate.
Do you have any Yoo-hoo?

No.

Wait here.
I'll go get some.

I wish I could tell you
we toasted my victory,

but I fell asleep
in the hallway.

Hey, where's Sheldon?

Probably out
in the garage.

Should someone tell him
breakfast is ready?

Oh, no, this is lovely.

Uh, let him sleep,
jet lag and all.

Hmm, the whole summer with him
was enough, huh?

If you want me to get him,
I'll go get him.

That's okay.
No, it's fine.

Okay.

Are you ready
for your surprise?

I sure am.

Okay.

Hello, you handsome
American boy toy.

I am Helga.

Do you like what you see?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hello?

Are you sure your wife
won't come home?

I'm sure.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, Helga.

I never talked to my father

about what I saw that day,

but, from then on,
I added extra knocks

so people could
get their pants on.
