It's typical for young people

to admire rock stars.

For my sister,
it was Cyndi Lauper.

For my brother,
it was Bon Jovi.

Well, Jon, we look good.

♪♪ Oh, livin' on... ♪♪

For me, the rock star
I admired most was...

Albert Einstein.

Did you know Einstein
loved playing the violin?

- So?
- He believed music

helped him formulate
his theories.

So?

Einstein was arguably
the greatest

scientific mind
of the 20th century.

If music helped him,
maybe it could help me.

So?

I got to go talk to my mom.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah,

she's just got some problems
she's dealing with.

Kind of personal.
Will you make the kids lunch?

- Ah, do I have to?
- George?

Happy to.

Be right back.

What do y'all want for lunch?

Peanut butter and jelly, please.

Great. Missy?

Tuna salad on rye toast,

with sliced pickles and...

Two PBJs, got it.

What is going on?

- Well...
- Well, what?

- I'm trying to say it.
- You woke me up.

Spill it or I'm going
back to bed.

I'm pregnant.

I'm awake now.

Are you sure?

Yes. I'm late.

- How late?
- Two days.

Oh, two days.
That's nothing.

Last time I was two days late,
I had the twins.

Last time I was two days late,
I had menopause.

Just trying to lighten the mood.

So do you have...

reason to think
that you might be?

Well, we try to be safe, but...

you know, heat of the moment.

Still? After three kids
and that beer belly

- hanging over his pants?
- Mom?

I think you might be getting way
ahead of yourself.

I'm telling you, I just know.

You were also convinced
that Georgie was gonna be a girl.

That's true.

Although he does have
very pretty hair.

- Hello.
- Hi, Sheldon.

I'd like to learn to play
the violin.

Really?

Well, that's terrific.

Do you have any experience
with stringed instruments?

Stringed instruments, no.

String theory, yes.

That was a joke.
I'm a joker.

I think I have an old violin
you can take home

and get the feel of.

That's great.

Thank you.

But I have to warn you,

it can be a frustrating
instrument to learn.

- Can you play it?
- Yes.

I'll be fine.

I don't see them.

Excuse me.

Where do you keep
your pregnancy tests?

- Mom.
- Behind the counter at the pharmacy.

Thank you.

Would you please be
a little more discreet?

She doesn't know it's for you.

Well, it sure isn't for you.

Come on.

Ow. No.

Well, go ahead.

- I can't.
- Why not?

His daughter goes
to Missy's school.

You are being ridiculous.

I don't need the world
knowing my business.

Okay, fine.

- Hello!
- Oh.

Excuse me.

- Hi, can I help you?
- Yes.

Uh, I need a...
pregnancy test.

Sure.

We have a few options.

Hey, Connie.

Oh, hey, Brenda.

Oh, you-you pick.

Is that a pregnancy test?

Uh, yeah.

It's for me.

- Really?
- Yes.

I come from a long line
of really fertile women.

My mother had me
when she was 57.

Can you believe it?

I don't think I can.

Dr. Sturgis and I
have been dating

for some time
and we really try to be careful,

but you know how it is.

Heat of the moment.

Hi, Mrs. Cooper!

Hi, Billy.

Are you playing
hide-and-seek?

Um, yeah.

Don't tell anybody. Shh.

Bye, Mrs. Cooper!

Oh...

Thank you so much. Bye.

Wish me luck.

It's a bit worn.
But it's fine for a beginner.

That was unpleasant.

It just takes some practice.

Very well.
When is my first lesson?

I'm... pretty busy
right now.

But I can give you
this in the meantime.

Anyone Can Play Violin.

They don't set the bar very high.

You know what you need to do?

Yes.

How's it going?

It'd be a lot easier to pee
if you'd stop talking.

Sorry.

Now it's too quiet.
Say something.

I know you didn't expect this,

and you still might not be,
but...

but if it turns out you are...

I'm here for you.

Thanks, Mom.

You're not the one
I'm worried about.

If I'm pregnant,
George is gonna flip out.

I'm sure he would at first.

Then he would
calm down.

Take a few beers.

Maybe some malt liquor.

I suppose.

The truth is,
he and I were both

freaked out
about having twins.

But now I can't imagine
life without them.

Well, see,
there you are.

So, no matter what
that test says,

you're gonna be okay.

You're right.

What's it say?

I'm gonna go
buy that malt liquor.

To get started,
place your violin

in rest position.
Your feet should be together.

Your right arm should be
over your instrument,

not touching the strings
or the bridge.

- Put your left hand...
- What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Like you're looking for another
excuse for kids to pick on you.

Now, you are ready
to position your feet.

Zip your feet open
and step forward

with your left foot.

- Your feet should...
- What are you doing?

I was gonna watch DuckTales,
but this looks funnier.

...procedure for positioning
the violin on your shoulder.

Hold your violin
above the left foot

with the neck
of the instrument pointing up.

Left foot, neck up.

Now rotate the neck
of the instrument

counterclockwise,
so that the neck points

at your left foot.

- Oh, boy.
- I was right.

Bend your left elbow
so that the violin

rests on your shoulder

and place your head
on the chin rest.

Now try dropping your left hand.

See if you can
hold your instrument

without your hands.

- Time yourself at this...
- What's going on?

I'm learning to play the violin.

It's my new favorite show.

Once you feel you have control
of your instrument,

try moving your hands around.

Repeat this procedure
until you can position

your instrument
comfortably and quickly.

He'll just be another minute.

Thank you.

- What's that about?
- Oh...

just trying not
to breathe the smoke in.

Come on.

It already went through
the filter and my lungs.

This stuff is squeaky clean.

Well, still.

He's all yours,
your highness.

All right.

Hey, Mare, what's up?
Other than the big guy.

God joke.

Actually, um,
I could use some guidance.

I got some news today,

and I'm not quite sure
how I feel about it.

Of course. Sit.

Well... I am...

um...

with child.

That's wonderful!

Congratulations!
How far along are you?

Uh, could you keep it down
just a little?

I haven't exactly
told George yet.

Got it. And why not?

It is his, right?

Of course.

Apologies.

Hey, I'm a pastor
in a small town.

You wouldn't believe
the juicy things I hear.

This just wasn't
part of our plan.

Well, luckily...
it's part of God's plan.

And let me tell you
about another Mary

who didn't know how to tell
her husband she was expecting.

And her story is way
weirder than yours.

In order to practice this,
move your bow

in a counterclockwise direction.

Keep your hand moving right
with the tip of the bow.

For our next song,
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,"

remember posture
is our most important thing.

Set, play.

Did you hear that?
I did it.

I don't think you did.

And now we see how
it helps my science.

Hmm.

Hmm...

Come on, think.

Probably needs more
"Twinkle, Twinkle."

...for learning new songs.

You can play them
along with me.

What the hell is that?

Sheldon's learning
to play the violin.

Oh. Well, that's
unfortunate.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna go change.

Hey, Dad. Can you believe
I only started playing today?

I really can.

Hey, so there's something

I've been meaning
to talk to you about.

Sure, what's up?

Now, before I say it, um...

I want to tell you a story
of another Mary.

Um...

Okay, anytime...

Are you kidding me?!

Keep your voice down.

Are you kidding me?

Look, I was a little thrown,
too, but Pastor Jeff said...

Pastor Jeff?

Pastor Jeff knows before me?

Well, yeah,
I needed someone to talk to,

- and, you know, my mom...
- Your mom?!

- Shh!
- Does the whole damn town know?

No. Just my mom and Pastor Jeff.

And maybe Brenda Sparks.

Probably Peg...

and whoever she told,

- but that is it.
- Oh, is that it?

Great news!

Not a good time, Sheldon.

But it's really important.

Ugh.

I figured out why the violin
worked for Einstein

and not for me.

I need to become
a Jewish person.

- Sheldon, dinner!
- Coming!

Sorry I'm late.
Shalom.

What's on your head?

- A yarmulke.
- A yama-what?

It's a special Jewish hat.

It reminds the wearer
that God is always over you.

Mom.

Oh, come on, it's funny.

It's not funny
and it's not a yarmulke.

It is a coaster I crocheted
at Bible camp.

Are you gonna say
something to him?

Normally I would, but I got
bigger problems right now.

- Let's just say grace.
- Hold on.

Are these
hot dogs kosher?

Over the next few days,

I continued to play the violin

in an effort to replicate
the mental prowess of Einstein.

I was asked to confine
my practice to the garage

by my father, mother,
sister and brother.

Meemaw was fine with me
practicing in the house,

but why would she care?
She doesn't live with us.

Hey, George.

Hey, Herschel.

Let me guess.
You're here to complain

about Sheldon's violin playing.

Well, under normal circumstances,
I'd say yeah,

but since he started,

my chickens been
dropping eggs like crazy.

- That's weird.
- Hey, uh,

I hear congratulations
are in order.

What's that you hear?

Maybe I didn't hear it.
Never mind.

It's all right.

Seems like everybody knows.

You don't seem
terribly enthusiastic.

It's the money, Herschel.

It's all about the money.

Well, there's only one
solution to that.

- Which is?
- You got to make more money.

- Thank you.
- Welcome.

Hey, I got to ask,
did that fiddle playing

increase the fertility
in all the females

around here or just my chickens?

I was just throwing it out there,
never mind.

Wait here,
I'm-a go get you some eggs.

- That's okay.
- You're getting eggs.

Guess I'm getting eggs.

All right, George,

- what's so damn important?
- Well...

I don't want to get into
the why's and wherefore's,

but I'm gonna
need a raise.

Is this 'cause Mary's pregnant?

You got to be kidding me.

Does everybody in this damn town
know my business?

I just... it was taking a guess.

- Tom.
- My wife told me.

Doesn't matter.
What do you say?

Are you threatening to quit
if you don't get it?

- No, Tom, I'm threatening to rob a bank.
- Okay.

All right, well,
let's not do that.

$100 a week do the trick?

Yes. Thanks. Bye.

Temple Judea.

How can I help you?

Hello. I'd like
to become Jewish.

Who would be in charge of that?

How old are you?

I'm ten.

Please hold.

Hello, this is
Rabbi Schneiderman.

To whom am I speaking?

Hello, this is Sheldon Cooper.

Hello, Sheldon.
Um, how can I help you?

I'm currently a Baptist
and I'd like to convert to Judaism.

A Baptist named Sheldon.

Okay.

And why do you want to convert?

Very simple. It's my intention
to become a great scientist,

and I couldn't help but notice
most of the great scientists

are Jewish, so logic dictates
it's time to switch teams.

Well, I'm sure there are

many Baptist scientists
you could emulate.

That's kind of you to say,

but other than Cornelis Drebbel
in the 1500s,

it's pretty slim pickings.

Well, Sheldon, you sound like
a very smart young man.

Oh, you have no idea.

Can I ask how your parents
feel about this?

Well, when I presented them
with my plan,

the words "over my dead body"
were used.

I'm not surprised.

But they were
similarly resistant

when I wanted to get an ant farm

and eventually they came around.

All right, here's what
I'm gonna tell you to do.

Read your Bible.

Already did, cover to cover.

- Really?
- Quiz me.

No, that's okay.
I believe you.

All right, my advice to you

is to stay with the faith
of your parents.

- What else you got?
- Okay.

Then I'm gonna tell you

to be your own man.

But I want to be a great
scientist like Albert Einstein.

Sheldon,

when your days are over,

God will never ask you,

"Why weren't you Einstein?"

But he might ask you,

"Why weren't you Sheldon?"

What's going on? You all right?

I'm not feeling great.

Is it a pregnant thing?

'Cause I got
some good news on that.

I got a decent raise.

It doesn't matter.

What do you mean,
it doesn't matter?

We can pull this off now.

I lost the baby.

Oh.

You're probably relieved, huh?

Actually...

...no.

I love the first three.

Fourth one's the charm, right?

Dad?

Mom?

Yeah, Shelly?

I just thought you should know
I'm not going to be Jewish.

I'm going to remain the atheist
Baptist you've come to love.

Good to hear.

Are you crying?

Yeah, but don't worry.
Everything's okay.

Good.

Once again,
I brought my mother so much joy

she was moved to tears.
I don't know how I do it.

Tom,
George Cooper's here for you.

Send him in.

Hey, Tom, you got a minute?

Pretty busy.

Make it quick.

It turns out I don't
need that raise.

What happened,
you win the lottery?

No, no.

Aw, George, I am so sorry.

Well, what can you do?

Listen, I cleared
your raise already.

Why don't you just
keep the money.

- Oh, no, I couldn't do that.
- No.

No, I mean it. It's yours.

Okay.

Thanks. Bye.

Thank you, but I will
no longer be needing these.

You're giving up
so soon?

What happened?

- Did it hurt your fingers?
- No.

I'm following the advice of
a very wise Rabbi Schneiderman

from Temple Judea in Houston.

Is this another one
of your jokes?

No. If it were a joke,
your mouth would be open

and the sound "ha-ha"
would be coming out.
