Why won't you compete with me?

Because it's fun
watching you get upset.

00:00:19,193 --> 00:00:20,324
What's fun about it?

the spotlight was all mine.

Ah. Wonderful.

you love the school

Well, why would you want
two of me?

50

I mean, I've heard even
one of me is a lot to handle.

51
00:01:56,812 --> 00:01:59,597
Well, you're not afraid of
a little competition, are you?

52
00:01:59,641 --> 00:02:00,990
From Paige? Hardly.

53
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:04,036
But I should warn you,
she can be very difficult.

54
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,562
Well, luckily I've had some
practice with that lately.

Usually I, uh,
play to their egos.

You know, make them feel like
the smartest person in the room.

58

I don't know.
I was just out running errands

88

I'd make an appointment.

looking for a change.

Well, nothing, it's just,
when the women come in

00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:43,962
looking for a change, it's

and a divorce in the same week

00:03:51,448 --> 00:03:53,450
and I only regret one of them.

102
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:56,497
Maybe this is a bad idea.
I should come back.

103
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:58,455
No, no, no, no.
Come on, you're already here.

104

Either way,
there's nothing wrong

105
00:04:00,501 --> 00:04:01,806
in a little change.

106
00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:03,460
Okay. Uh...

107
00:04:03,504 --> 00:04:05,375
What do you think I should do?

108
00:04:05,419 --> 00:04:07,638
Well, when you look
at yourself in the mirror,

109
00:04:07,682 --> 00:04:08,987
who do you see?

110
00:04:09,031 --> 00:04:14,166
I see a mom and... a wife.

111
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:16,865
Okay, that's the hair
you already got.

112
00:04:16,908 --> 00:04:18,997
Who do you want to see?

113
00:04:19,041 --> 00:04:20,912
Oh, um...

114
00:04:23,088 --> 00:04:24,873
Maybe we start with the nails.

115
00:04:24,916 --> 00:04:26,831
That's a great idea.
Yeah.

116
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:30,182
So now I'm supposed to talk
Paige into coming to my school.

117
00:04:30,226 --> 00:04:31,445
Maybe it'll be nice
to have somebody

118
00:04:31,488 --> 00:04:32,837
your own age to hang out with.

119
00:04:32,881 --> 00:04:34,839
Sure, so the next time
someone says,

120
00:04:34,883 --> 00:04:36,493
"Hey, look what the kid
genius did," people will say,

121
00:04:36,537 --> 00:04:38,103
"Which one? There's so many."

122
00:04:38,147 --> 00:04:41,106
I thought you and that
little girl were friends.

123
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:43,326
Missy's her friend.
I'm her rival.

124
00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:45,676
Well, I think you're getting
worked up about nothing.

125
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,896
Maybe she won't even decide
to come to this school.

126
00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:52,030
Oh, I see where you're going.

127
00:04:52,074 --> 00:04:53,815
I should convince her
it's a terrible school.

128
00:04:53,858 --> 00:04:55,033
That's brilliant.

129
00:04:55,077 --> 00:04:56,774
That's not where I was going.

130
00:04:56,818 --> 00:04:58,559
Too late, I'm already there.

131
00:05:04,129 --> 00:05:05,305
What are you doing?

132
00:05:06,393 --> 00:05:08,743
Look at me
and tell me what you see.

133
00:05:09,744 --> 00:05:12,050
What?

134
00:05:12,094 --> 00:05:14,052
Did you get a haircut?
Looks great.

135
00:05:14,096 --> 00:05:15,445
No, I didn't get a haircut.

136
00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:17,578
'Cause you don't need one.
Looking good, babe.

137
00:05:17,621 --> 00:05:19,101
Lord.

138
00:05:19,144 --> 00:05:22,583
Just tell me what you see
when you look at me.

140
00:05:25,107 --> 00:05:27,109
I don't know what's going on,
but this feels like a trap.

141
00:05:28,284 --> 00:05:30,547
I went to the salon
to get a haircut.

142
00:05:30,591 --> 00:05:32,941
Knew it, looking foxy.

143
00:05:32,984 --> 00:05:36,292
But I didn't get one because
I don't know what I want.

144
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,250
[quietly]:
Oh.

145
00:05:38,294 --> 00:05:41,253
You know who's got good hair?

You're not helping me, George.

151
00:05:50,785 --> 00:05:52,613
I knew this was a trap.

that Sheldon was very excited

153
00:05:55,833 --> 00:05:58,401
to hear that you might
be joining us.

154
00:05:58,445 --> 00:05:59,794
Well, isn't he sweet?

155
00:05:59,837 --> 00:06:01,404
He's a peach.

156
00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:03,406
All right, I'm here.
Hello, hello.

157
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:04,842
Hello.

158
00:06:04,886 --> 00:06:07,062
Hi, Sheldon.
I'm so excited for you

159
00:06:07,105 --> 00:06:08,411
to show me around campus today.

160
00:06:08,455 --> 00:06:09,934
The only reason
I'm doing it is because...

161
00:06:09,978 --> 00:06:12,372
He's excited to do it,
I'm excited he's doing it.

162
00:06:12,415 --> 00:06:14,199
Are you excited?Sure.

163
00:06:14,243 --> 00:06:15,636
Everyone's excited. Yay.

164
00:06:16,767 --> 00:06:18,595

Come on, let's go.

165
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:21,685
You and me, together again.

166
00:06:21,729 --> 00:06:23,165
It just feels right, doesn't it?

167
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:24,384
[grumbles]

168
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:26,951
There's the cafeteria.

169
00:06:26,995 --> 00:06:29,345
If you like tuna salad
with hair in it.

170
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,695
Over there is the quad.
It's a nice place to relax,

171
00:06:31,739 --> 00:06:33,915
if you like getting hit in
the head with Frisbees.

172
00:06:33,958 --> 00:06:35,917
I know what you're doing.No, you don't.

173
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,527
You have nothing
to worry about.

174
00:06:37,571 --> 00:06:39,311
I don't want to come
to this school.

175
00:06:39,355 --> 00:06:40,965
I'm just looking at it
to make my mom happy

176
00:06:41,009 --> 00:06:42,184
since it's close to home.

177
00:06:42,227 --> 00:06:44,360
Well, that's wonderful news.

178

How did you know when you did?

308
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:53,277
Well, one day she came to school
in these soccer shorts,

309
00:11:53,321 --> 00:11:54,801
and that was it.

310
00:11:54,844 --> 00:11:57,020
What happened,
you played soccer with her?

311
00:11:57,064 --> 00:11:58,326
No, dummy.

312
00:11:58,369 --> 00:12:00,371

significance of the shorts?

ADULT SHELDON:
I wasn't getting

so I turned
to the smartest resource I knew.

319
00:12:12,644 --> 00:12:14,995
Love is a funny thing.

320
00:12:15,038 --> 00:12:17,606
They say, "The heart wants
what the heart wants,"

321
00:12:17,649 --> 00:12:19,521
but I think it should be,

322
00:12:19,564 --> 00:12:23,612
"The limbic system wants
what the limbic system wants."

323
00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:26,397
Finally, someone's making sense.

324
00:12:26,441 --> 00:12:29,836
Well, not to brag, but when
it comes to unrequited love,

325
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,012
I'm kind of an expert.

326
00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,884
Well, when I talk to Paige,
all she does is drive me crazy.

327
00:12:34,928 --> 00:12:39,019
There's a thin line between
affection and aggravation.

328
00:12:39,062 --> 00:12:41,499
The Roman poet Catullus said,

329
00:12:41,543 --> 00:12:46,113
"I hate and I love
and I know not why."

330
00:12:46,156 --> 00:12:48,202
I'm not sure
what to make of that.

331
00:12:48,245 --> 00:12:50,247
Perhaps it'd be
more useful in Latin.

332
00:12:50,291 --> 00:12:51,945
"Odi et amo..."

333
00:12:51,988 --> 00:12:54,469
I just want to know
if I have a crush.

334
00:12:54,512 --> 00:12:55,818
Well, does your
heart rate elevate

335
00:12:55,862 --> 00:12:57,254
when you're in her presence?

336
00:12:58,299 --> 00:12:59,256
I suppose.

337
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,302
Does your stomach flutter?

338
00:13:01,345 --> 00:13:03,130
Yes.

339
00:13:03,173 --> 00:13:07,047
Sounds like your limbic system
might be doing its thing.

340
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:09,092
Oh, dear.

341
00:13:11,312 --> 00:13:13,880
Hey.Hey.

342
00:13:13,923 --> 00:13:15,751
That's a lot of fabric.

343
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,057
Oh, it's not just fabric.

344
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,668
I also got pattern books
and an accessory kit.

345
00:13:21,626 --> 00:13:23,846
Can I ask how much
that all cost?

346
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:25,892
Well, it's hard to say,
because in the long run

347
00:13:25,935 --> 00:13:27,589
I'm gonna save us money.

348
00:13:27,632 --> 00:13:30,505
Well, what did it cost
in the short run?

349
00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:32,507
I don't know, a hundred dollars?

350
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:36,337
A hundred dollars?
What is wrong with you?

351
00:13:36,380 --> 00:13:38,078
Why would you say that?

352
00:13:38,121 --> 00:13:39,775
That is a good question.

353
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,646
I mean, what is wrong with you?

354
00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:43,648
