00:00:08,550 --> 00:00:09,726
Previously onYoung Sheldon...
2
00:00:09,768 --> 00:00:11,510
Hello. I'm Sheldon Cooper,
and this is
3
00:00:11,553 --> 00:00:14,165
Why Sheldon Cooper Should Go
to College.
4
00:00:14,209 --> 00:00:16,514
I firmly believe that I'm ready
5
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:18,603
for this next step
in my academic life.
6
00:00:18,647 --> 00:00:20,867
I guess our baby's
going to college.
7
00:00:20,911 --> 00:00:23,435
So I don't want to get married.
It's nothing personal.
8
00:00:23,478 --> 00:00:26,525
After everything that I've done
for you and your family.
9
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:29,397
You give my grandson a job
so I'm supposed to marry you?
10
00:00:29,441 --> 00:00:31,748
Well, you can forget
I even asked.
11
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:34,054
Oh, no.
12
00:00:34,097 --> 00:00:35,359
I screwed up.
13
00:00:35,404 --> 00:00:36,535
You're fired.
14
00:00:36,578 --> 00:00:39,189
Here's for firing
my grandson.
15
00:00:40,408 --> 00:00:41,365
Jackass!
16
00:00:45,804 --> 00:00:47,719
ADULT SHELDON:
I never understood
why kids didn't like
17
00:00:47,764 --> 00:00:49,069
being sent
to the principal's office.
18
00:00:49,112 --> 00:00:50,593
I thought it was great.
19
00:00:50,636 --> 00:00:53,639
Sheldon, you are
a remarkable young man.
20
00:00:53,682 --> 00:00:55,902
Thanks, and you're
a remarkable old man.
21
00:00:55,945 --> 00:00:57,426
Sheldon.
22
00:00:57,469 --> 00:00:58,948
So you sure he's got
all the credits he needs?
23
00:00:58,991 --> 00:01:01,169
Yeah, between his courseworkand his AP tests,
24
00:01:01,212 --> 00:01:03,432
he's met allof his academic requirements.
25
00:01:03,475 --> 00:01:06,608
He even managed
to get a good grade in P.E.
26
00:01:06,652 --> 00:01:08,740
I earned extra credit
snitching on kids
27
00:01:08,784 --> 00:01:10,787
who were smoking
behind the equipment shed.
28
00:01:10,829 --> 00:01:13,136
I don't have to buy cigarettes
for a year.
29
00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:15,965
So he's really good to graduate?
30
00:01:16,008 --> 00:01:17,576
He sure is.
I got to tell ya,
31
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:19,274
usually when kids leave school
after two years,
32
00:01:19,316 --> 00:01:20,492
it's not for college.
33
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:23,668
It's for prison or pregnancy.
34
00:01:23,713 --> 00:01:26,368
Well, between Georgie and Missy,we may hit the trifecta.
35
00:01:26,411 --> 00:01:27,673
George!
36
00:01:27,716 --> 00:01:29,109
Well, I'm not rooting for it.
37
00:01:29,153 --> 00:01:30,501
It's just a thing
that could happen.
38
00:01:30,546 --> 00:01:31,938
One other bit of business.
39
00:01:31,981 --> 00:01:33,591
Since you're graduating early,
40
00:01:33,636 --> 00:01:35,159
and you'retop of the class,
41
00:01:35,203 --> 00:01:37,769
that makes you
our valedictorian.
42
00:01:37,814 --> 00:01:39,249
Way to go, buddy!
43
00:01:39,293 --> 00:01:41,512
I'm so proud
of you, baby.
44
00:01:41,557 --> 00:01:42,774
You seem surprised.
45
00:01:42,819 --> 00:01:45,168
Well, it's quite
an accomplishment.
46
00:01:45,213 --> 00:01:46,953
Being top of the class
in this school?
47
00:01:46,996 --> 00:01:48,258
I don't think so.
48
00:01:49,304 --> 00:01:51,131
We're really gonna miss you.
49
00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:55,266
♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪
50
00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:58,442
♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain
51
00:01:58,487 --> 00:02:00,879
♪ I bet I could be your hero
52
00:02:00,924 --> 00:02:03,055
♪ I am a mighty little man
53
00:02:03,099 --> 00:02:08,060
♪ I am a mighty little man.♪
54
00:02:14,197 --> 00:02:16,766
I imagine my leavingwill be hard for you.
55
00:02:16,809 --> 00:02:18,375
Oh, yeah, being
best friends
56
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:21,204
with a little kid reallyboosted my game with the ladies.
57
00:02:21,249 --> 00:02:24,295
Makes sense.I'm a conversation starter.
58
00:02:24,339 --> 00:02:26,383
Just think. You'll havethis table all to yourself.
59
00:02:26,428 --> 00:02:28,733
Actually,
I joined the jazz band.
60
00:02:28,778 --> 00:02:31,172
Those guys have their own table
in the cafeteria.
61
00:02:31,214 --> 00:02:33,261
Oh.
62
00:02:33,304 --> 00:02:34,739
They're pretty cool.
63
00:02:34,784 --> 00:02:36,873
The drummer's even got a goatee.
64
00:02:36,916 --> 00:02:39,658
Well, I'm glad I knew you before
you became a heroin addict.
65
00:02:39,701 --> 00:02:42,138
Where are my safety goggles?
66
00:02:42,183 --> 00:02:44,010
I don't have no orange today.
67
00:02:44,054 --> 00:02:45,795
No, I have a lab later.
68
00:02:45,838 --> 00:02:47,535
Just use the room goggles
like everyone else.
69
00:02:47,578 --> 00:02:49,102
And risk eyebrow lice?
70
00:02:49,146 --> 00:02:51,495
They don't just like
head hair, Tam.
71
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:53,194
They must be in my locker.
72
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:57,458
Don't eat my fluffernutter!
73
00:02:57,501 --> 00:02:59,504
I won't.
74
00:03:01,898 --> 00:03:03,333
Mmm.
75
00:03:03,377 --> 00:03:05,727
"Don't eat my fluffernutter."
76
00:03:13,256 --> 00:03:15,041
Hello.
77
00:03:15,084 --> 00:03:17,434
Thank you for seeing me.
78
00:03:17,478 --> 00:03:21,396
You might not be so happy I did
by the time we're done.
79
00:03:27,096 --> 00:03:28,358
[sighs]
80
00:03:28,403 --> 00:03:29,969
All right,
let me start by saying
81
00:03:30,012 --> 00:03:31,754
that I owe you an apology.
82
00:03:31,797 --> 00:03:34,191
You can finishwith an apology, too.
83
00:03:34,234 --> 00:03:36,280
I'm sorry we had a fight. I'm...
84
00:03:37,368 --> 00:03:39,152
I'm really sorry
I lost my temper,
85
00:03:39,196 --> 00:03:41,981
and I'm very sorry
that I took it out on Georgie.
86
00:03:42,024 --> 00:03:43,591
That wasn't great.
87
00:03:45,114 --> 00:03:48,030
But I want you to know
that I'm trying to change.
88
00:03:48,073 --> 00:03:51,426
'Cause that's what people do--
they change.
89
00:03:51,469 --> 00:03:55,167
I mean it. You know, I'm tired
of being a cranky old bastard.
90
00:03:55,212 --> 00:03:57,301
It's tiring
for everybody else, too.
91
00:03:57,345 --> 00:03:58,302
Would you please?
92
00:03:58,345 --> 00:04:00,042
Sorry. Go ahead.
93
00:04:00,085 --> 00:04:01,914
[sighs]
94
00:04:01,958 --> 00:04:05,482
I'm admitting I was wrong,
and that's not something I do.
95
00:04:05,527 --> 00:04:07,310
What do you want from me?
96
00:04:07,355 --> 00:04:09,834
One more chance.
97
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,315
I don't know.
98
00:04:12,359 --> 00:04:13,796
Oh, come on.
99
00:04:13,839 --> 00:04:16,407
I went to three stores
to find these purple flowers.
100
00:04:16,451 --> 00:04:18,843
They are pretty.
101
00:04:18,888 --> 00:04:20,932
They're not as pretty as you.
102
00:04:20,977 --> 00:04:23,761
[laughing]:
Oh, God.
103
00:04:23,806 --> 00:04:25,415
[laughing]
104
00:04:28,071 --> 00:04:31,073
Safety pins, safety scissors,
105
00:04:31,117 --> 00:04:33,206
no safety goggles.
106
00:04:35,686 --> 00:04:37,689
Did you happen to see
a pair of safety goggles?
107
00:04:37,732 --> 00:04:39,821
Sheldon, we're in
the middle of a test.
108
00:04:39,864 --> 00:04:40,778
Sorry.
109
00:04:40,823 --> 00:04:42,954
I can't give
you the answer,
110
00:04:42,999 --> 00:04:44,783
but what you have
is not even close.
111
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:46,175
Out!
112
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,136
[sobbing]
113
00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:53,314
These things happen.
114
00:04:53,357 --> 00:04:54,401
[sobbing]
115
00:04:54,444 --> 00:04:56,098
My mother had me
when she was young.
116
00:04:56,141 --> 00:04:59,102
Sorry to interrupt. I can't
find my safety goggles.
117
00:04:59,145 --> 00:05:01,146
Well, they're not here.
118
00:05:01,191 --> 00:05:02,453
I have to find them.
119
00:05:02,496 --> 00:05:04,802
Nothing's more important
than protection!
120
00:05:06,021 --> 00:05:08,241
[sobbing loudly]
121
00:05:14,246 --> 00:05:16,511
Dad, you need to take me home.
122
00:05:16,554 --> 00:05:17,728
Why? What's the matter?
123
00:05:17,773 --> 00:05:19,730
I don't have my safety goggles.
Let's go.
124
00:05:19,775 --> 00:05:21,254
Sheldon, I'm busy.
125
00:05:21,297 --> 00:05:22,472
You're just watching TV.
126
00:05:22,516 --> 00:05:23,821
I'm reviewing game tape.
127
00:05:23,866 --> 00:05:25,823
So you know how it ends.
I'll meet you at the car.
128
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:27,696
Sheldon, I'm notdriving you home.
129
00:05:27,739 --> 00:05:29,698
I got practicein 20 minutes.
130
00:05:29,741 --> 00:05:31,525
Then call Mom and tell her
to bring them to me.
131
00:05:31,569 --> 00:05:33,179
She's working, too.
132
00:05:33,222 --> 00:05:34,528
But I need my goggles!
133
00:05:34,571 --> 00:05:36,530
Then use the ones in class.
134
00:05:36,573 --> 00:05:38,359
And I don't want to hearabout eyebrow lice.
135
00:05:38,401 --> 00:05:40,665
The ones in class
are too big for me.
136
00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:42,667
What if they fall off and
something happens to my eyes?
137
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:44,408
If I go blind,
I'll need a Seeing Eye dog,
138
00:05:44,451 --> 00:05:45,670
and I'm scared of dogs.
139
00:05:45,713 --> 00:05:47,367
Hey!
140
00:05:47,410 --> 00:05:50,718
Is this how you plan on actingwhen you get to college?
141
00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:53,504
No.
142
00:05:53,547 --> 00:05:54,852
Good, 'cause you're gonna need
143
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:56,898
to handle stuff like this
on your own.
144
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,379
I can handle it.
145
00:05:59,422 --> 00:06:00,771
I hope so.
146
00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:06,561
ADULT SHELDON:
I ended up using
the class goggles that day
147
00:06:06,604 --> 00:06:08,953
and did not get eyebrow lice.
148
00:06:08,997 --> 00:06:10,434
But eight months later,
149
00:06:10,477 --> 00:06:12,653
I did contract a mild case
of pink eye.
150
00:06:12,696 --> 00:06:15,960
Were the two events related?
This scientist says yes.
151
00:06:25,405 --> 00:06:27,929
Do you thinkI can make it from one end
152
00:06:27,972 --> 00:06:29,670
of the college campusto the other
153
00:06:29,713 --> 00:06:32,021
in under ten minutes,
including a bathroom break?
154
00:06:32,064 --> 00:06:34,501
I don't know. How important
is the bathroom break?
155
00:06:34,545 --> 00:06:36,852
Very. The class schedules
are designed
156
00:06:36,895 --> 00:06:39,201
for fully-grown bladders,
and mine is child-sized.
157
00:06:39,244 --> 00:06:41,377
Then don't put your classes
so close together.
158
00:06:41,422 --> 00:06:44,946
Well, it's either this or I movemy labs to Tuesday afternoons.
159
00:06:44,989 --> 00:06:46,295
Is that bad?
160
00:06:46,338 --> 00:06:48,167
Yes. That's when
Professor Protonis on.
161
00:06:48,210 --> 00:06:51,780
Well, we'll tape it,
and you can watch it later.
162
00:06:51,823 --> 00:06:53,477
But what if I have a lot
of homework and can't get to it
163
00:06:53,521 --> 00:06:54,956
until the next day
and one of the kids
164
00:06:54,999 --> 00:06:57,133
in my class
spoils the episode for me?
165
00:06:57,175 --> 00:07:00,528
Sheldon, has anyone ever spoiled Professor Protonfor you?
166
00:07:00,571 --> 00:07:04,008
No.Has anyone even talked to you
about Professor Proton?
167
00:07:04,052 --> 00:07:06,141
Do you count?No.
168
00:07:06,184 --> 00:07:07,751
Then no.
169
00:07:11,276 --> 00:07:13,453
Thanks again for
giving me another shot.
170
00:07:13,496 --> 00:07:15,412
Oh, my pleasure.
171
00:07:15,456 --> 00:07:17,326
And I gotsomething else for you.
172
00:07:17,369 --> 00:07:18,936
[drawer opens]
173
00:07:23,246 --> 00:07:25,203
[drawer closes]
174
00:07:25,247 --> 00:07:28,424
Wow. Thank you, but why?
175
00:07:28,468 --> 00:07:31,732
Well, I'm trying to get better
at forgiving people.
176
00:07:31,775 --> 00:07:33,778
Well, I'm glad
to hear you say that,
177
00:07:33,821 --> 00:07:36,215
'cause I'm the onewho egged your store last night.
178
00:07:37,259 --> 00:07:38,739
That was you?
179
00:07:38,783 --> 00:07:41,090
Well, me and Meemaw.
180
00:07:41,133 --> 00:07:43,701
Oh.
181
00:07:43,744 --> 00:07:45,486
It's okay.
182
00:07:45,528 --> 00:07:47,138
I forgive you.
183
00:07:47,182 --> 00:07:49,141
Cool.
Thanks again for the money.
184
00:07:51,883 --> 00:07:54,972
Mm, forgiving people sucks.
185
00:07:56,453 --> 00:07:58,934
Bless us, Lord, for the foodwe are about to receive,
186
00:07:58,977 --> 00:08:00,283
and bless the handsthat prepared it.
187
00:08:00,326 --> 00:08:01,413
And thank you
188
00:08:01,458 --> 00:08:03,633
for Georgie gettinghis job back. Amen.
189
00:08:03,677 --> 00:08:05,069
ALL:
Amen.
190
00:08:05,114 --> 00:08:06,463
That was nice of Dale.
191
00:08:06,506 --> 00:08:08,987
I know. He even forgave me
for egging his store.
192
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,422
You went egging
without me?
193
00:08:10,467 --> 00:08:11,641
Georgie Cooper!
194
00:08:11,686 --> 00:08:13,730
Dale already forgave me,
and God has to.
195
00:08:13,775 --> 00:08:15,340
You can't get mad.
196
00:08:15,384 --> 00:08:17,561
Ha. Burn.
197
00:08:18,518 --> 00:08:20,956
Oh. Hold on.
Hold on.
198
00:08:20,999 --> 00:08:22,783
Your chair, milady.
199
00:08:22,826 --> 00:08:25,047
"Milady"?
200
00:08:25,090 --> 00:08:26,482
Where did that come from?
201
00:08:26,526 --> 00:08:27,789
I don't know.
202
00:08:27,831 --> 00:08:30,617
My brain.[laughs]
203
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:32,750
Can I get y'all started
with some drinks?
204
00:08:32,794 --> 00:08:34,185
Yeah. Uh, margaritas?
205
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:35,971
Mm-hmm.Split a pitcher?
206
00:08:36,014 --> 00:08:37,755
Mm, no, I think I'm okay.
207
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:39,103
More of a beer night?
208
00:08:39,147 --> 00:08:40,323
No, not really.
209
00:08:40,366 --> 00:08:41,628
I'm gonna take a little break.
210
00:08:41,671 --> 00:08:43,021
I'll just stick with water.
211
00:08:43,718 --> 00:08:45,415
Really?
212
00:08:45,458 --> 00:08:47,591
Well, you know,
I don't do my best thinking
213
00:08:47,635 --> 00:08:49,679
after I've been drinking.
[laughs]
214
00:08:49,723 --> 00:08:51,160
[chuckles]
215
00:08:51,203 --> 00:08:52,683
Should I not get one, then?
216
00:08:52,727 --> 00:08:53,641
No, no, you go ahead.
217
00:08:53,684 --> 00:08:54,945
I don't want it to get weird.
218
00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:56,078
I can come back.
219
00:08:56,121 --> 00:08:57,862
No, no. Hey, justbring her a margarita.
220
00:08:57,905 --> 00:08:59,995
No, don't.I insist.
221
00:09:00,038 --> 00:09:01,039
I don't want one.
222
00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:02,344
Yeah, you do.
223
00:09:02,387 --> 00:09:03,737
It's getting weird.
224
00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:05,914
Maybe come back.
225
00:09:07,088 --> 00:09:11,615
Missy, how would you and Sheldonlike a graduation party?
226
00:09:11,659 --> 00:09:13,617
Why would Missy have
a graduation party?
227
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:15,663
'Cause I'm graduating
elementary school.
228
00:09:15,705 --> 00:09:18,752
That counts?Of course it counts.
229
00:09:18,795 --> 00:09:21,363
Yes, it's a big deal.
She's going to a new school.
230
00:09:21,406 --> 00:09:23,322
New friends, new teachers.
231
00:09:23,366 --> 00:09:25,107
Same clothes
'cause we're poor.
232
00:09:25,150 --> 00:09:27,151
[phone ringing]We're not poor.
233
00:09:27,195 --> 00:09:28,458
So I can get new clothes?
234
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:30,155
We're not rich,either.
235
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,852
Do I really got to sitthrough two graduations?
236
00:09:31,896 --> 00:09:35,203
Yes. It is a special day for
your brother and your sister.
237
00:09:35,246 --> 00:09:37,205
I'm giving the
valedictorian speech.
238
00:09:37,248 --> 00:09:38,990
And I'm singing
"This Land Is Your Land"
239
00:09:39,034 --> 00:09:40,382
with a bunch of other kids.
240
00:09:40,425 --> 00:09:43,646
And we are proudof you both equally.
241
00:09:43,690 --> 00:09:45,561
Guess what.
The local news wants
242
00:09:45,606 --> 00:09:47,520
to do story on Sheldon
being valedictorian.
243
00:09:47,564 --> 00:09:49,391
[chuckles]
Isn't that great?
244
00:09:51,175 --> 00:09:52,699
What?
245
00:09:52,742 --> 00:09:54,745
Cheers.
246
00:09:58,053 --> 00:09:59,184
How is it?
247
00:09:59,227 --> 00:10:01,011
Good. Yours?
248
00:10:01,055 --> 00:10:03,058
A little watery.
249
00:10:04,319 --> 00:10:06,277
I want to tell you
how much I appreciate you
250
00:10:06,322 --> 00:10:07,714
giving Georgie his job back.
251
00:10:07,757 --> 00:10:10,151
Well, I didn'tdo it just for you.
252
00:10:10,194 --> 00:10:12,284
It wasthe right thing to do.
253
00:10:12,328 --> 00:10:14,896
I even forgave himfor egging the store.
254
00:10:14,939 --> 00:10:16,723
[gasps]
He egged your store?
255
00:10:16,766 --> 00:10:18,594
That rascal!
256
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:19,987
I know you did it, too.
257
00:10:20,030 --> 00:10:21,902
Okay, I did.
258
00:10:26,123 --> 00:10:27,777
You go to church,don't you?
259
00:10:30,084 --> 00:10:31,825
Yeah, when I'm not hungover.
260
00:10:31,868 --> 00:10:34,524
Well, maybe I'll go
with you sometime.
261
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:36,699
Really? You?
262
00:10:36,743 --> 00:10:40,182
Yeah, I was thinking a little
religion might do me some good.
263
00:10:40,224 --> 00:10:42,880
Well, good for you. [chuckles]
264
00:10:42,924 --> 00:10:46,101
I was thinking
it was a fajita night.
265
00:10:46,144 --> 00:10:49,452
Your daughter runs
a Bible study, doesn't she?
266
00:10:51,019 --> 00:10:53,021
Uh-huh.
267
00:10:53,064 --> 00:10:55,718
ADULT SHELDON:
The next day, the local news
showed up to interview me
268
00:10:55,762 --> 00:10:58,461
and my family,
which may sound impressive,
269
00:10:58,503 --> 00:11:01,724
but this is the same local news that covered a potato chip
270
00:11:01,769 --> 00:11:03,030
shaped like Texas.
271
00:11:03,073 --> 00:11:05,120
So act natural.
We're just having a chat.
272
00:11:05,163 --> 00:11:06,729
I'm gonna ask y'all
a few questions
273
00:11:06,774 --> 00:11:08,384
about Sheldon's
high school graduation.
274
00:11:09,472 --> 00:11:10,777
I'm graduating, also.
275
00:11:10,820 --> 00:11:13,563
Really? You're graduating
from high school, too?
276
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:15,391
No, elementary school.
277
00:11:15,434 --> 00:11:16,697
Oh.
278
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:19,046
My class is singing
"This Land Is Your Land."
279
00:11:19,089 --> 00:11:20,309
Want to hear it?
280
00:11:20,352 --> 00:11:22,310
♪ This land is your land...
281
00:11:22,353 --> 00:11:24,747
Hey, can I ask my girlfriendto the prom on TV?
282
00:11:24,791 --> 00:11:26,357
It would blow her mind.
283
00:11:26,401 --> 00:11:28,534
♪ To the New York Islands,
from the... ♪
284
00:11:28,578 --> 00:11:30,798
We're here

285
00:11:30,841 --> 00:11:33,626
Mary, Georgeand 11-year-old Sheldon,
286
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:36,498
who's going to be MedfordHigh School's valedictorian.
287
00:11:36,541 --> 00:11:39,762
Mom and Dad,you must be so proud.
288
00:11:39,807 --> 00:11:41,025
Oh, very proud.
289
00:11:41,069 --> 00:11:42,679
But we're proudof all of our children.
290
00:11:42,722 --> 00:11:45,507
She has to say that.
291
00:11:45,550 --> 00:11:47,291
I was a little worried
about missing
292
00:11:47,336 --> 00:11:48,858
Professor Proton,
but I'm going to tape it
293
00:11:48,902 --> 00:11:50,208
and watch it at night.
294
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:51,514
Once I'm in college,
295
00:11:51,557 --> 00:11:53,516
can we push my bedtime to 8:30?
296
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,823
Let's talk bedtime whenwe're not on the news, honey.
297
00:11:55,866 --> 00:11:57,998
I'm sure it'll work out
since I have all summer
298
00:11:58,041 --> 00:11:59,870
to recalibrate
my bathroom schedule.
299
00:11:59,914 --> 00:12:01,479
Let's not talkabout that, either.
300
00:12:01,524 --> 00:12:05,440
So what's it like being theparents of such a special child?
301
00:12:05,483 --> 00:12:06,833
Get it away! Get it away!
302
00:12:06,876 --> 00:12:08,226
Fascinating.
303
00:12:11,402 --> 00:12:13,622
[chicken clucking,
Sheldon screaming]
304
00:12:13,665 --> 00:12:15,363
Every day's a blessing.
305
00:12:15,406 --> 00:12:16,886
Sheldon, tell us
what you're gonna miss
306
00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:18,540
the most about high school.
307
00:12:19,716 --> 00:12:20,891
Nothing.
308
00:12:20,934 --> 00:12:22,458
Really?
309
00:12:22,501 --> 00:12:24,328
Not your teachers, your friends?
310
00:12:24,372 --> 00:12:26,026
I only have one friend.
311
00:12:26,069 --> 00:12:27,679
And I don't think
he's gonna miss me because
312
00:12:27,723 --> 00:12:30,291
he already found other people
to have lunch with.
313
00:12:30,334 --> 00:12:31,684
Oh, I'm surehe'll miss you.
314
00:12:31,727 --> 00:12:33,861
And I said I'm okay with
watching Professor Proton
315
00:12:33,904 --> 00:12:35,122
at night,
but that'll never work.
316
00:12:35,165 --> 00:12:37,212
I get overtired--
everybody knows that!
317
00:12:37,255 --> 00:12:38,690
Maybe we could turn
the camera off.
318
00:12:38,734 --> 00:12:39,996
And the other day, I couldn't
find my safety goggles
319
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,998
and I freaked out in school,
and my dad asked
320
00:12:42,043 --> 00:12:44,392
is this how I plan on acting
when I get to college,
321
00:12:44,435 --> 00:12:45,872
and I said no,but it probably is
322
00:12:45,915 --> 00:12:47,875
because even though I'm smart,
I'm just a little boy!
323
00:12:48,832 --> 00:12:50,746
I think we have enough.Cut.
324
00:12:58,059 --> 00:12:59,886
Here you go, baby.
325
00:13:01,149 --> 00:13:03,891
I don't know if I can go
to college next year.
326
00:13:03,934 --> 00:13:05,195
Are you kidding me?!
327
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,458
George.
328
00:13:06,501 --> 00:13:08,765
Buddy, I know you're upset.
329
00:13:08,809 --> 00:13:11,072
But are you kidding me?
330
00:13:11,115 --> 00:13:12,813
Don't listen to him.
331
00:13:12,856 --> 00:13:14,423
There is no pressure.
332
00:13:14,466 --> 00:13:17,251
If you want to spend
another year in high school,
333
00:13:17,295 --> 00:13:18,862
that is your decision.
334
00:13:18,905 --> 00:13:20,907
I don't know.
335
00:13:21,952 --> 00:13:23,867
May I be excused?
336
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:25,781
Uh, of course.
337
00:13:31,656 --> 00:13:33,484
We support you, buddy!
338
00:13:40,665 --> 00:13:42,276
I get it.
339
00:13:42,319 --> 00:13:44,453
What do you get?
340
00:13:44,496 --> 00:13:46,410
Why you don't want to go
to college.
341
00:13:46,454 --> 00:13:48,804
I doubt that you do.
342
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:52,678
You're scared everything's
gonna be different
343
00:13:52,722 --> 00:13:54,723
and it'll be hard.
344
00:13:56,030 --> 00:13:58,684
And you're gonna miss
the way that it was.
345
00:13:59,947 --> 00:14:01,948
How do you know that?
346
00:14:01,992 --> 00:14:04,689
'Cause that's how I feel.
347
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,911
You're scared?
348
00:14:11,261 --> 00:14:12,481
Yeah.
349
00:14:12,524 --> 00:14:14,569
So what do we do?
350
00:14:17,703 --> 00:14:20,531
I guess be scared
and do it anyway.
351
00:14:20,575 --> 00:14:23,012
Hmm.
352
00:14:25,146 --> 00:14:28,323
It's comforting to know thatyou feel the same way that I do.
353
00:14:28,366 --> 00:14:30,891
That's why I said it, dumbass.
354
00:14:32,892 --> 00:14:34,198
[sighs]
355
00:14:35,896 --> 00:14:37,853
Mom?
356
00:14:37,897 --> 00:14:39,246
Dad?
357
00:14:39,290 --> 00:14:41,291
MARY:Yeah, baby?
358
00:14:43,904 --> 00:14:46,079
I'm ready to graduate.
359
00:14:46,122 --> 00:14:47,907
Good night.
360
00:14:49,299 --> 00:14:51,389
[door closes]
361
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:54,261
That's because I supported him.
362
00:14:54,304 --> 00:14:55,958
[page turns]
363
00:14:56,002 --> 00:14:57,655
[sighs]
364
00:14:57,699 --> 00:14:59,049
[applause]
365
00:14:59,093 --> 00:15:00,963
PETERSEN:
Our next young speaker needs
366
00:15:01,007 --> 00:15:02,573
no introduction,
but that didn't stop him
367
00:15:02,617 --> 00:15:05,577
from writing one
and making me read it.
368
00:15:05,621 --> 00:15:07,492
[laughter]
369
00:15:07,535 --> 00:15:08,885
"Fun fact."
370
00:15:08,929 --> 00:15:10,190
[audience groaning, murmuring]
371
00:15:10,233 --> 00:15:12,367
I hear you.
372
00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:15,847
"The word 'valedictorian' is
from the Latin 'valedicere,'
373
00:15:15,891 --> 00:15:19,373
"meaning 'to say farewell.'
374
00:15:19,416 --> 00:15:21,636
"It is primarily used
in the United States,
375
00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:24,204
Canada, the Philippines
and Armenia."
376
00:15:24,247 --> 00:15:27,381
Maybe that fact's more fun
in Armenia.
377
00:15:27,424 --> 00:15:32,996
Please welcome your
valedictorian, Sheldon Cooper.
378
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,084
Yay, Shelly!
379
00:15:38,088 --> 00:15:39,655
Hello.
380
00:15:41,135 --> 00:15:44,399
I'm not very comfortable
speaking in front of crowds.
381
00:15:44,442 --> 00:15:47,357
But there's a technique
to reduce stage fright
382
00:15:47,401 --> 00:15:49,925
by focusing on
one person in the audience
383
00:15:49,969 --> 00:15:52,275
and delivering your speech
just to them.
384
00:15:54,190 --> 00:15:56,367
That's what I'll be doing today.
385
00:15:58,630 --> 00:16:01,589
If it weren't for this person,
I wouldn't be here right now.
386
00:16:01,632 --> 00:16:03,852
They've taught me a lot,
387
00:16:03,896 --> 00:16:06,246
and it's by their examplethat I found the courage
388
00:16:06,290 --> 00:16:09,990
to move forward into this newand exciting chapter of my life.
389
00:16:12,121 --> 00:16:13,602
Missy...
390
00:16:15,212 --> 00:16:17,432
...this is for you.
391
00:16:19,434 --> 00:16:21,261
Change can be scary,
392
00:16:21,304 --> 00:16:24,612
but I know
we're going to be fine...
393
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,399
...because like you said,
394
00:16:28,443 --> 00:16:30,705
"It's okay to be scared.
395
00:16:30,748 --> 00:16:32,315
We just have to do it anyway."
396
00:16:35,319 --> 00:16:39,670
So if any of my fellow graduatesare nervous about the future,
397
00:16:39,714 --> 00:16:42,282
know that you're not alone.
398
00:16:43,458 --> 00:16:46,548
I suggest you all try to be
as brave as my twin sister.
399
00:16:46,591 --> 00:16:48,506
That's my plan.
400
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:50,203
Missy,
401
00:16:50,246 --> 00:16:52,901
I wish I could give you advice
about middle school,
402
00:16:52,944 --> 00:16:55,686
but I was so smart,
I skipped it.
403
00:16:55,731 --> 00:16:57,819
If you make it to high school,
we'll talk.
404
00:16:57,862 --> 00:16:59,734
Thank you.
405
00:16:59,777 --> 00:17:01,780
[applause]
406
00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:12,095
[kids singing]ADULT SHELDON:
The following day,
407
00:17:12,138 --> 00:17:15,097
I attended my sister's
elementary school graduation.
408
00:17:15,142 --> 00:17:16,838
She didn't deliver
a speech to me,
409
00:17:16,882 --> 00:17:18,319
but she did make eye contact
410
00:17:18,361 --> 00:17:20,320
while she sang
"This Land Is Your Land."
411
00:17:20,364 --> 00:17:22,887
♪ From the Redwood Forest
412
00:17:22,932 --> 00:17:26,761
♪ To the Gulf Stream waters
413
00:17:26,805 --> 00:17:30,982
♪ This land was made
for you and me... ♪
414
00:17:31,027 --> 00:17:32,855
ADULT SHELDON:
Later that day, we had
415
00:17:32,897 --> 00:17:35,162
a graduation party
for me and my sister.
416
00:17:35,204 --> 00:17:36,511
I don't normally care
for parties,
417
00:17:36,553 --> 00:17:38,078
but this one wasn't so bad.
418
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,296
Who's ready for cake?
419
00:17:39,339 --> 00:17:40,514
Me!
420
00:17:40,558 --> 00:17:43,431
Hey, should we say grace?
421
00:17:43,473 --> 00:17:45,867
Heck, yeah! Let's hold hands.
422
00:17:45,911 --> 00:17:49,175
Oh, cool. Let's say grace.
423
00:17:49,219 --> 00:17:51,264
ADULT SHELDON: Dale invited Jesus to the party,
424
00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:55,224
and while he wasn't
on my guest list, it was okay
425
00:17:55,269 --> 00:17:56,704
because it made my mom happy.
426
00:17:56,748 --> 00:17:58,750
And bless our
friends and family...
427
00:17:58,793 --> 00:18:01,144
ADULT SHELDON:
In fact, it was
the best graduation party
428
00:18:01,187 --> 00:18:03,059
I had ever been to,
429
00:18:03,103 --> 00:18:07,194
until the one we had
for my son, Leonard Cooper.
430
00:18:07,236 --> 00:18:09,456
ALL:
Amen.Cake!
431
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,720
ADULT SHELDON:
I wanted his name to be
432
00:18:11,762 --> 00:18:15,115
Leonard "Nimoy" Cooper,
but Amy wouldn't let me.
433
00:18:15,157 --> 00:18:17,159
AMY:
Be happy I let you
name him Leonard!
434
00:18:17,203 --> 00:18:19,030
ADULT SHELDON:
Okay, okay!
435
00:18:19,075 --> 00:18:21,077
