00:00:00,414 --> 00:00:02,394
Previously on
Young Sheldon...

2
00:00:02,394 --> 00:00:04,546
I did not give you
a heart attack.

3
00:00:04,875 --> 00:00:06,131
You gave me something.

4
00:00:06,131 --> 00:00:07,616
Well...

5
00:00:08,563 --> 00:00:10,898
Is my husband your mystery man?

6
00:00:11,607 --> 00:00:13,192
MISSY:
Can't believe this.

7
00:00:13,192 --> 00:00:14,861
Where you going?
Home.

8
00:00:14,861 --> 00:00:16,571
They clearly
forgot about us.

9
00:00:17,822 --> 00:00:19,031
This sucks.

10
00:00:19,031 --> 00:00:20,074
What is he
doing here?

11
00:00:20,074 --> 00:00:21,367
MARY:
He's a pastor,

12
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:22,952
and he wanted
to be here.

13
00:00:22,952 --> 00:00:24,245
I mean, what is he doing here

14
00:00:24,245 --> 00:00:25,496
with you?

15
00:00:25,496 --> 00:00:27,707
I'm gonna stay
at my mom's house tonight.

16
00:00:27,707 --> 00:00:28,875
Fine by me.

17
00:00:28,875 --> 00:00:30,334

18
00:00:34,714 --> 00:00:36,799

19
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:37,884

♪ No way... ♪

22
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,266
Careful, loud music is a sign
of teen angst.

23
00:00:45,266 --> 00:00:46,475
I'm aware.

24
00:00:47,643 --> 00:00:49,186
Missy honey, I'm so sorry.

25
00:00:49,186 --> 00:00:51,439
You okay?

26
00:00:53,482 --> 00:00:55,234
Come on, let me in.

27
00:00:55,234 --> 00:00:56,986
(music stops)

28
00:00:56,986 --> 00:00:58,237
You forgot me.

29
00:00:58,237 --> 00:00:59,572
(sighs) Mandy went
into labor.

30
00:00:59,572 --> 00:01:00,823
I had to go
to the hospital.

31
00:01:00,823 --> 00:01:02,783
She had the baby,
and no one told me?

32
00:01:02,783 --> 00:01:04,076
See? Angst.

33
00:01:04,076 --> 00:01:05,161
Go in your room.

34
00:01:05,161 --> 00:01:07,496
The baby's cute as a button.

35
00:01:07,496 --> 00:01:09,165
Can't wait to meet
her Aunt Missy.

36
00:01:09,165 --> 00:01:12,084
I waited at school for an hour
and had to walk home.

37
00:01:12,084 --> 00:01:13,419
No one even called.

38
00:01:13,419 --> 00:01:15,254
There was a lot going on.

39
00:01:15,254 --> 00:01:16,631
The important thing is,

40
00:01:16,631 --> 00:01:18,049
you're safe,

41
00:01:18,049 --> 00:01:19,508
baby's safe,
everything turned out okay.

42
00:01:19,508 --> 00:01:21,218
Not everything.
My database failed.

43
00:01:21,218 --> 00:01:22,929
Go.

44
00:01:22,929 --> 00:01:24,347
Where's Mom?

45
00:01:26,223 --> 00:01:27,683
She's staying
at your meemaw's tonight.

46
00:01:27,683 --> 00:01:28,935
Why?

47
00:01:28,935 --> 00:01:30,311
Help with the baby.

48
00:01:30,311 --> 00:01:32,939
So, the baby's home?
I can meet her?

49
00:01:32,939 --> 00:01:34,523
She'll be home tomorrow.

50
00:01:34,523 --> 00:01:36,609
Then why's Mom there tonight?

51
00:01:37,944 --> 00:01:40,488
Look, Missy,
I've had a long day.
So have I.

52
00:01:40,488 --> 00:01:42,031
That makes three of us. Sheldon.

53
00:01:42,031 --> 00:01:43,783
I'm in my room, as directed.

54
00:01:43,783 --> 00:01:44,867

55
00:01:46,494 --> 00:01:49,121

She's fine.

63
00:02:17,358 --> 00:02:18,693
She's quiet.

64
00:02:18,693 --> 00:02:20,903
She's breathing, right?

65
00:02:20,903 --> 00:02:23,322
Yes. Hold on.

66
00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:25,825
Yes.

67
00:02:25,825 --> 00:02:27,785
Mind slowing down?

68
00:02:28,744 --> 00:02:30,246
I'm going 15.

69
00:02:30,246 --> 00:02:32,164
And I said slow down.

70
00:02:32,164 --> 00:02:33,249
You got it.

71
00:02:35,167 --> 00:02:36,877
Baby check.
Still breathing.

72
00:02:36,877 --> 00:02:39,422
All right,
we got this.

73
00:02:39,422 --> 00:02:41,841
You remembered to check
the baby's I.D. bracelet

74
00:02:41,841 --> 00:02:43,509
before we left
the hospital, right?

75
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:45,761
Why?
To make sure
they gave us the right baby.

76
00:02:45,761 --> 00:02:47,930
Don't be ridiculous,
I know my baby.

77
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:49,557
This is her.

78
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:51,934
Yeah, this is her.

79
00:02:51,934 --> 00:02:53,519
Good. I saw this

80
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:55,312
Maury Povich show
where there was a mix-up,

81
00:02:55,312 --> 00:02:57,189
and one family
got a real clunker.

82
00:02:57,189 --> 00:02:59,567
Well, if she's a clunker,
she's our clunker.

83
00:02:59,567 --> 00:03:01,402
(chuckles) Great.

84
00:03:04,864 --> 00:03:06,032
Morning.

85
00:03:06,032 --> 00:03:07,742
Hello.

86
00:03:07,742 --> 00:03:08,951
You're up early.

87
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:12,288
Gave myself extra time in
case I had to walk again.

88
00:03:13,414 --> 00:03:14,832
I'm taking you
to school.

89
00:03:15,875 --> 00:03:17,752
Lots of kids walk,
by the way.

90
00:03:17,752 --> 00:03:18,961
Like Billy?

91
00:03:18,961 --> 00:03:20,463
His mom didn't
show up either.

92
00:03:20,463 --> 00:03:22,256
It was sad, but I can laugh
about it now.

93
00:03:22,256 --> 00:03:23,424
Enough.

94
00:03:23,424 --> 00:03:25,092
(sighs)

95
00:03:25,092 --> 00:03:27,595
So, is Mom
coming home tonight?

96
00:03:27,595 --> 00:03:29,388
I don't know.

97
00:03:29,388 --> 00:03:31,766
What's really going on
with you two?

98
00:03:31,766 --> 00:03:32,933
'Cause Billy said
you and Brenda...

99
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:34,602
Drop it.

100
00:03:34,602 --> 00:03:36,562
Fine.

101
00:03:36,562 --> 00:03:39,982
Well, since Mom's not here,
I made your lunch.

102
00:03:39,982 --> 00:03:42,026
That was nice.

103
00:03:45,488 --> 00:03:48,074
"Try not forgetting
your daughter today.

104
00:03:48,074 --> 00:03:49,742
XO, Missy."

105
00:03:49,742 --> 00:03:52,787
That's my name,
in case you forgot.

106
00:03:52,787 --> 00:03:54,288
(sighs)

107
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,959
ADULT SHELDON:
The next day,
as I walked across campus,

108
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:00,920
I could feel
all eyes were on me,

109
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,172
judging me for my failure.

110
00:04:03,172 --> 00:04:04,965
Look at them laughing at me.

111
00:04:04,965 --> 00:04:07,551
It was the closest I ever came
to a walk of shame.

112
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:10,096
Well, good morning, Sheldon.

113
00:04:10,096 --> 00:04:11,806
What's good about it?

114
00:04:11,806 --> 00:04:13,099
I'm a laughingstock.

115
00:04:13,099 --> 00:04:15,267
I don't think
anybody cares.

116
00:04:15,267 --> 00:04:16,685
But my database failed.

117
00:04:16,685 --> 00:04:19,939
Failure only means something
if you quit.

118
00:04:19,939 --> 00:04:23,150
Well, get ready for
some meaning. I quit.

119
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:24,777
Hang on.

120
00:04:24,777 --> 00:04:26,987
Are you familiar
with the Fred Astaire song

121
00:04:26,987 --> 00:04:28,489
"Pick Yourself Up"?

122
00:04:28,489 --> 00:04:29,657
No.

123
00:04:29,657 --> 00:04:32,743
From the beloved musical
Swing Time?

124
00:04:32,743 --> 00:04:33,953
Still no.

125
00:04:33,953 --> 00:04:36,705
Then prepare
to be uplifted.

I'm not uplifted.

132
00:04:50,928 --> 00:04:53,097
Well, then buckle up
for the second verse.

133
00:04:53,097 --> 00:04:56,016

(Constance crying)

139
00:05:05,651 --> 00:05:07,319
Maybe it's gas.
Did you burp her?

140
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:08,821
What do you think I was doing

141
00:05:08,821 --> 00:05:10,072
when I was patting her
on the back?

142
00:05:10,072 --> 00:05:11,407
Did you pat firmly?

143
00:05:11,407 --> 00:05:12,950
The book says
"pat firmly."

144
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:14,493
It was firm, Georgie.

145
00:05:14,493 --> 00:05:16,162
Maybe you need to be burped.

146
00:05:16,162 --> 00:05:19,248
Okay, you're such an expert,
why don't you try?

147
00:05:20,207 --> 00:05:22,918
All right. I was a baby
more recently than you were.

148
00:05:22,918 --> 00:05:24,962
It's okay, CeeCee,

149
00:05:24,962 --> 00:05:26,338
Daddy's here.

150
00:05:26,338 --> 00:05:27,882
Shh...
(crying continues)

151
00:05:27,882 --> 00:05:29,675
Good job.

152
00:05:29,675 --> 00:05:32,344
Well, I just met her yesterday,
give me a minute.

153
00:05:32,344 --> 00:05:35,264
I remember those days.
Me, too.

154
00:05:35,264 --> 00:05:37,975
Boy, were you a crier.

155
00:05:37,975 --> 00:05:39,185
Sorry.

156
00:05:39,185 --> 00:05:40,978
Too little, too late.

157
00:05:40,978 --> 00:05:42,980
(sighs)
Should I help 'em out?

158
00:05:42,980 --> 00:05:44,106
I got it.

159
00:05:44,106 --> 00:05:45,858
Come on, CeeCee,
work with me.

160
00:05:45,858 --> 00:05:47,401
This is your father speaking.

161
00:05:47,401 --> 00:05:49,069
Did she quiet down?

162
00:05:49,069 --> 00:05:50,446
'Cause she doesn't
sound quiet.

163
00:05:50,446 --> 00:05:51,906
MEEMAW:
Step aside.

164
00:05:51,906 --> 00:05:53,699
Let me show you
how it's done.

165
00:05:53,699 --> 00:05:57,077
Please.
Come here. Okay. Yeah.

166
00:05:57,077 --> 00:05:59,413
Meemaw's here now, all right.

167
00:05:59,413 --> 00:06:00,956
Shh...

168
00:06:00,956 --> 00:06:02,208
Shh, shh.
(crying continues)

169
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:04,543
Shh. Something's wrong
with this one.

170
00:06:04,543 --> 00:06:06,670
Can her grandma
have a turn?

171
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:08,255
Here, take her. Oh...

172
00:06:08,255 --> 00:06:10,257
She takes after you. Oh.

173
00:06:10,257 --> 00:06:13,385
It's okay, sweetie, Nana's here.

174
00:06:13,385 --> 00:06:15,387
Nana? Who picked that?

175
00:06:15,387 --> 00:06:16,764
I did.

176
00:06:16,764 --> 00:06:18,098
Why ain't you another meemaw?

177
00:06:18,098 --> 00:06:20,142
'Cause I'm
the only meemaw.

178
00:06:20,142 --> 00:06:22,228
(Constance coos)

179
00:06:22,228 --> 00:06:24,438
Oh, you got her to quiet down.
How'd you do that?

180
00:06:24,438 --> 00:06:26,398
Nana magic.

181
00:06:26,398 --> 00:06:27,733
MANDY (sighs):
Okay, well,

182
00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:29,610
I'm gonna
get some sleep,

183
00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:31,362
and I may never
come back.

184
00:06:34,281 --> 00:06:35,783
Hmm.

185
00:06:38,619 --> 00:06:41,038
I don't understand.
The code is perfect.

186
00:06:41,038 --> 00:06:42,665
It should have worked.

187
00:06:42,665 --> 00:06:44,583
Well, the problem
isn't that it didn't work,

188
00:06:44,583 --> 00:06:47,086
the problem is that
nobody wanted to use it.

189
00:06:47,086 --> 00:06:50,256
So, you're saying we didn't
fail, the public failed us.

190
00:06:50,256 --> 00:06:52,007
No, we failed.

191
00:06:52,007 --> 00:06:54,468
And you've also failed
at cheering me up, so good job.

192
00:06:54,468 --> 00:06:56,262
Here's a thought.

193
00:06:56,262 --> 00:06:57,596
I've been toying around

194
00:06:57,596 --> 00:07:00,224
with this new plasma
confinement idea.

195
00:07:00,224 --> 00:07:02,059
Why don't we
work on that

196
00:07:02,059 --> 00:07:04,603
and, uh, take your mind
off the database?

197
00:07:04,603 --> 00:07:06,105
What if we fail at that, too?

198
00:07:06,105 --> 00:07:08,065
Then we'll have
two failures back to back.

199
00:07:08,065 --> 00:07:10,150
I'll have to leave the country
or grow a mustache,

200
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:12,069
or leave the country
until I can grow a mustache.

201
00:07:12,069 --> 00:07:14,989
Well, we don't know
if we'll fail until we try.

202
00:07:14,989 --> 00:07:18,450
Counterpoint: if we don't try,
we'll never fail.

203
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:20,577
Oh, my little pal,

204
00:07:20,577 --> 00:07:22,955
do I have to
sing again?

205
00:07:22,955 --> 00:07:25,291
Little?
I'm towering over you.

206
00:07:25,291 --> 00:07:28,210
♪ Will you remember
the famous men ♪

207
00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:30,796

209
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:37,415
She's so cute.

210
00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:39,834
Yeah.

211
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:41,628
How long has she
been crying?

212
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:42,796
Her whole life.

213
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,839
(scoffs) I got a brother
like that.

214
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,801
You want to hold her?
No.

215
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,928
Scared?
Yeah.

216
00:07:49,928 --> 00:07:52,806
Smart. Okay, shh...

217
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,100
Sorry I wasn't there
when she was born.

218
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:56,142
Oh, you weren't?

219
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,019
No, they forgot me
at school.

220
00:07:58,019 --> 00:07:59,479
I had to walk home.

221
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,980
Ooh...

222
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,357
Oops.

223
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:04,109
Then my dad got mad at me,
like I was the one

224
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:05,193
who did something wrong.
Uh-huh.

225
00:08:05,193 --> 00:08:06,319
How is it that color?

226
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:07,445
She only eats milk.

227
00:08:07,445 --> 00:08:08,655
And Mom hasn't been home,

228
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:09,906
and I know something's going on,

229
00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:11,157
but no one
will tell me anything.

230
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:12,784
Uh, can you hand me the powder?

231
00:08:12,784 --> 00:08:14,661
Do you know
what's going on with them?

232
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,955
Huh?
With my mom and dad.

233
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:18,414
(sighs)

234
00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:20,083
Missy, it feels
like someone

235
00:08:20,083 --> 00:08:21,251
just drove a truck
through my body,

236
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:22,585
I haven't slept
in days.

237
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:23,962
I cannot help you
right now.

238
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:26,047
(scoffs) Sorry.

239
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:27,966
(Constance crying)

240
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:30,635
Son of a bitch.

241
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:32,387
Pigs in a blanket?
Yeah.

242
00:08:32,387 --> 00:08:33,847
They're burnt.

243
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,223
Yeah.

244
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:36,516
Mom doesn't cook
them that long.

245
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:37,976
Thank you.

246
00:08:37,976 --> 00:08:40,019
Would you teach me
how to throw a football?

247
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:43,189
What? What? Why?

248
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:46,359
I'm trying to get more
comfortable with failure.

249
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,862
What makes you think
you're gonna fail?

250
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,405
The word "ball."

251
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:52,240
Well, I got to warn you,

252
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,825
learning to throw
isn't something you get right

253
00:08:53,825 --> 00:08:56,578
on the first try.
It... it takes practice.

254
00:08:56,578 --> 00:08:59,497
And does this practice involve
setbacks and frustration?

255
00:08:59,497 --> 00:09:01,749
Yeah.
Perfect.

256
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:04,335
Now, you'll notice that
the shape of this thing

257
00:09:04,335 --> 00:09:05,920
is more like
a missile, right,

258
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,380
than it is your
typical bouncy ball.

259
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,966
The term you're looking for
is prolate spheroid.

260
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:12,594
Wasn't looking for it,
but thank you.

261
00:09:12,594 --> 00:09:14,262
Now, what do you think

262
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:16,222
is the most efficient way
to get this thing to fly?

263
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,473
Gyroscopic torque.

264
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:19,851
Spiral.

265
00:09:19,851 --> 00:09:21,186
Bingo. (chuckles)
All right,

266
00:09:21,186 --> 00:09:23,605
now get your fingers
on the laces here.

267
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:26,274
Why is the surface
all bumpy?

268
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:27,984
Used to be made
out of pig bladder.

269
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:31,404
Well... not anymore. It's...

270
00:09:33,198 --> 00:09:34,866
Helps with the grip. Okay?

271
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:37,368
Now, fingers back on it,
and get your thumb

272
00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:38,912
wrapped around...
There you go.

273
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:40,538
All right,
bring your other hand up.

274
00:09:40,538 --> 00:09:42,540
That helps keep her steady.

275
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:43,958
Bring the ball
back to your ear.

276
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:46,461
And when you're
ready to throw,

277
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:48,504
bring your arm down
like a tomahawk. (exhales)

278
00:09:48,504 --> 00:09:50,965
Get that ball spinning.
(exhales) All right?

279
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,425
(exhales)

280
00:09:53,801 --> 00:09:56,346
And am I correct in assuming
that more revolutions

281
00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:59,641
will create a parabolic arc
that resists external forces?

282
00:09:59,641 --> 00:10:01,267
Sure.

283
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,061
All right,
whenever you're ready,

284
00:10:03,061 --> 00:10:04,395
let's see if you
can reach me.

285
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:07,023
Let the setbacks
and frustration begin.

286
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:12,570
(chuckles) Good Lord.
That was incredible.

287
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:15,073
Yeah, I saw it.

288
00:10:15,073 --> 00:10:17,033
Where you going?

289
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:19,827
To hit the showers.
Apparently I'm a jock now.

290
00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:26,209
I got the baby to
settle down. Easy peasy.

291
00:10:26,209 --> 00:10:28,419
Take it down a notch, Nana.

292
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:30,838
I will try,
but I don't know if I can.

293
00:10:30,838 --> 00:10:32,632
Georgie on the couch?

294
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:33,925
Mm-hmm.

295
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:35,551
(sighs)

296
00:10:35,551 --> 00:10:38,471
And what exactly is it
that's wrong with your bed?

297
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,098
My husband's in it.

298
00:10:40,098 --> 00:10:42,517
So, you're just gonna
keep sleeping here

299
00:10:42,517 --> 00:10:43,851
instead of dealing
with it?

300
00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:45,853
I'm helping
with the baby.

301
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:48,898
She'll still be crying
tomorrow. Go home.

302
00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:50,441
I will.

303
00:10:50,441 --> 00:10:52,986
I just need
my space right now.

304
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:54,862
I know the feeling.

305
00:10:57,198 --> 00:10:58,449
You're cranky.

306
00:10:58,449 --> 00:11:00,618
You want me
to rock you to sleep?

307
00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:01,661
I'm pretty good
at it.

308
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,871
Don't touch me.

309
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:10,753
(whispering):
Did you ever find out

310
00:11:10,753 --> 00:11:12,297
where your mom was
the other day?

311
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:14,090
(whispering):
She was at the hospital

312
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:15,675
for your brother's baby.

313
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:17,176
What?

314
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,220
Did you not know
he had one?

315
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:21,139
It's a girl.
DARLENE: Shh.

316
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:23,224
No talking during the test.

317
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:25,727
(sighs)

318
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:29,105
Your mom was there?
Yeah.

319
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:32,734
So I was the only person in the
whole world who wasn't there.

320
00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:34,485
Keep your eyes
on your own papers.

321
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:35,820
I'm not cheating.

322
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:37,572
Well, that's not
what it looks like.

323
00:11:37,572 --> 00:11:40,408
I guess you would know
what cheating looks like.

324
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:42,201
Ask your husband.

325
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,621
What has gotten
into you?

326
00:11:45,621 --> 00:11:47,498
Well?
Answer your mother.

327
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:49,709
So the only time you two talk
to each other is to yell at me?

328
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,836
That is not true.
Oh, really?

329
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:53,671
Where have you been sleeping
the last couple nights?

330
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:56,132
Whoa, you do not talk
to us that way.

331
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:59,302
And you do not talk
to your teacher that way either.

332
00:11:59,302 --> 00:12:01,304
Sheldon says obnoxious
things all the time,

333
00:12:01,304 --> 00:12:02,847
but it's fine
'cause he's special.

334
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:04,724
This is not
about Sheldon.

335
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:06,309
For once.
(laughs): Oh.

336
00:12:06,309 --> 00:12:09,145
We forgot to pick you up
one time. Cut the drama.

337
00:12:09,145 --> 00:12:12,523
One time? You've been
forgetting me my entire life.

338
00:12:12,523 --> 00:12:14,859
Everything is Sheldon,
and now Georgie has a baby,

339
00:12:14,859 --> 00:12:16,611
and you two are fighting.
(scoffs)

340
00:12:16,611 --> 00:12:17,862
Might as well
be invisible.

341
00:12:17,862 --> 00:12:20,406
Not today you're not.

I was hoping I could try

Why?
I'm trying new things

00:12:40,718 --> 00:12:43,763

I'm not happy about it either.

360
00:13:04,367 --> 00:13:05,827
(sighs)

361
00:13:05,827 --> 00:13:07,412
(Constance resumes crying)

362
00:13:07,412 --> 00:13:09,580
No, no, no, no, no, no.

363
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:12,166
♪ Soft kitty, kitty, kitty. ♪

364
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:13,751
Sheldon, come back.

365
00:13:18,401 --> 00:13:19,735
Dr. Linkletter,
I need your help.

366
00:13:19,735 --> 00:13:21,404
Of course.

367
00:13:21,404 --> 00:13:23,531
Let me just drop everything
so I can be of assistance.

368
00:13:23,531 --> 00:13:24,574
Thank you.

369
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,493
(sighs)

370
00:13:27,493 --> 00:13:29,162
I'm trying
to embrace failure,

371
00:13:29,162 --> 00:13:30,997
and I realized that
social subtleties

372
00:13:30,997 --> 00:13:32,999
like sarcasm
can sometimes evade me.

373
00:13:32,999 --> 00:13:34,000
You don't say.

374
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,168
No, it's true.

375
00:13:35,168 --> 00:13:36,961
And I was hoping
you could pepper

376
00:13:36,961 --> 00:13:39,755
our conversation with sarcasm,
so I can try to identify it.

377
00:13:39,755 --> 00:13:41,382
Oh, boy, when do we start?

378
00:13:41,382 --> 00:13:42,884
Now would be great.

379
00:13:42,884 --> 00:13:44,886
Sheldon, that was sarcasm.

380
00:13:44,886 --> 00:13:46,679
Oh, let me try again.

381
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,181
Is this about your database?

382
00:13:48,181 --> 00:13:49,682
Yes.

383
00:13:49,682 --> 00:13:51,976
You know, I was also working
on a database

384
00:13:51,976 --> 00:13:54,395
that I thought would be
more successful than yours.

385
00:13:54,395 --> 00:13:55,771
(chuckles) Sarcasm?

386
00:13:55,771 --> 00:13:56,898
No.

387
00:13:56,898 --> 00:13:58,107
Oh, darn it.

388
00:13:58,107 --> 00:13:59,358
Wait, was the "no" sarcasm?

389
00:13:59,358 --> 00:14:00,902
No.
Are you sure?

390
00:14:00,902 --> 00:14:02,528
Yes.
Ugh,

391
00:14:02,528 --> 00:14:04,614
I'll never be comfortable
with failure.

392
00:14:04,614 --> 00:14:07,158
My point is, I was experiencing
something similar,

393
00:14:07,158 --> 00:14:09,243
and there's no shortcut
through grief.

394
00:14:09,243 --> 00:14:10,745
Those are wise words.

395
00:14:10,745 --> 00:14:12,038
Thank you.

396
00:14:12,038 --> 00:14:13,706
It was smart I came to you.

397
00:14:13,706 --> 00:14:16,250
You're clearly an expert
on humiliation and defeat.

398
00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:17,752
Sarcasm?

399
00:14:17,752 --> 00:14:19,295
No.
Leave.

400
00:14:19,295 --> 00:14:21,214
Sarcasm?
No.

401
00:14:21,214 --> 00:14:23,341
Bye.

402
00:14:24,717 --> 00:14:26,302
Go to your room. Fine.

403
00:14:26,302 --> 00:14:28,638
And you're gonna apologize
to Mrs. Wilkins.

404
00:14:28,638 --> 00:14:30,723
MISSY:
That's not her name anymore.

405
00:14:30,723 --> 00:14:31,766
(sighs)

406
00:14:32,808 --> 00:14:34,477
Can you believe her?

407
00:14:34,477 --> 00:14:36,020
Well, maybe this wouldn't have
happened if you were around.

408
00:14:36,020 --> 00:14:39,023
Are you really trying
to blame this on me?

409
00:14:39,023 --> 00:14:41,234
I'm not the one
sleeping across the street.

410
00:14:41,234 --> 00:14:42,944
I'm here with our kids.

411
00:14:42,944 --> 00:14:44,028
(bottle cap clatters)

412
00:14:46,155 --> 00:14:49,158
So you want to get into this?
Let's get into this.

413
00:14:49,158 --> 00:14:51,327
What is going on
with you and Brenda?

414
00:14:51,327 --> 00:14:53,955
Nothing.
It doesn't seem like it.

415
00:14:55,122 --> 00:14:57,083
What, you're honestly saying
that you don't light up

416
00:14:57,083 --> 00:14:59,168
every time Pastor Rob's around?

417
00:15:02,964 --> 00:15:04,840
Maybe I do.

418
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Nothing ever happened.

419
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,053
I wouldn't do that.

420
00:15:09,053 --> 00:15:10,680
(scoffs) What,
you saying I would?

421
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,057
You tell me.
I wouldn't.

422
00:15:13,057 --> 00:15:15,059
But you like being around her.

423
00:15:20,773 --> 00:15:22,483
(sighs)

424
00:15:26,821 --> 00:15:29,365
(sighs)

425
00:15:30,866 --> 00:15:32,493
(sighs)

426
00:15:33,911 --> 00:15:36,539
What happens now?

427
00:15:38,624 --> 00:15:40,501
I don't know.

428
00:15:40,501 --> 00:15:42,420
(sighs)

429
00:15:45,298 --> 00:15:46,674
(door opens)

430
00:15:49,176 --> 00:15:50,303
Hey.

431
00:15:50,303 --> 00:15:52,013
Hi.

432
00:15:52,013 --> 00:15:54,348
What are you doing here?
Where's the baby?

433
00:15:54,348 --> 00:15:56,809
She's fine. She's with Connie.

434
00:15:56,809 --> 00:15:59,395
I just needed a couple minutes.

435
00:15:59,395 --> 00:16:01,439
Which was...

436
00:16:01,439 --> 00:16:03,482
a couple hours ago.

437
00:16:03,482 --> 00:16:06,027
I'll go check on her,
unless you want to.

438
00:16:06,027 --> 00:16:08,237
Actually... (scoffs)

439
00:16:08,237 --> 00:16:09,947
I don't know what I want.

440
00:16:09,947 --> 00:16:11,407
What does that mean?

441
00:16:11,407 --> 00:16:13,784
My daughter hates me.

442
00:16:13,784 --> 00:16:16,329
What difference does it make
if I'm there or not?

443
00:16:16,329 --> 00:16:18,497
You know that ain't true.
Really?

444
00:16:18,497 --> 00:16:20,583
Because all she does is cry,

445
00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:22,585
and I'm tired all the time,

446
00:16:22,585 --> 00:16:25,713
and even your brother is better
at soothing her than I am.

447
00:16:26,839 --> 00:16:29,759
You're just a little
overwhelmed. It's normal.

448
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:31,844
Why aren't you?

449
00:16:31,844 --> 00:16:33,721
Well, we can't both be
freaked out at the same time.

450
00:16:33,721 --> 00:16:35,389
We got to
take turns.

451
00:16:35,389 --> 00:16:36,932
When's your turn?

452
00:16:36,932 --> 00:16:38,684
Already had it.

453
00:16:38,684 --> 00:16:40,561
I was so scared
when I got to

454
00:16:40,561 --> 00:16:42,521
the hospital, I...

455
00:16:42,521 --> 00:16:45,191
I got back in my car
and drove away.

456
00:16:45,191 --> 00:16:47,360
While I was in labor?!

457
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,570
Don't hit me.
We're sharing freak-outs.

458
00:16:50,613 --> 00:16:52,740
And I still came back.
(sighs)

459
00:16:53,741 --> 00:16:55,451
What kind of parents
are we?

460
00:16:55,451 --> 00:16:57,078
The new kind,

461
00:16:57,078 --> 00:16:59,747
the well-meaning,
dumb kind.

462
00:16:59,747 --> 00:17:01,457
We're gonna get better, right?

463
00:17:01,457 --> 00:17:04,001
We ain't got no choice.
(chuckles)

464
00:17:06,045 --> 00:17:08,714
I'll let you sleep.
I'm gonna go check on CeeCee.

465
00:17:08,714 --> 00:17:11,175
Thank you.

466
00:17:15,554 --> 00:17:17,181
What are you smiling at?

467
00:17:17,181 --> 00:17:18,766
Just thinking.

468
00:17:18,766 --> 00:17:21,060
We might've conceived CeeCee
in this very garage.

469
00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:22,645
Okay, you're gross. Leave now.

470
00:17:22,645 --> 00:17:24,897
Bye.
(sighs)

471
00:17:30,236 --> 00:17:32,113
(sighs)

472
00:17:32,113 --> 00:17:33,114
What are you doing?

473
00:17:33,114 --> 00:17:35,449
Oh, um...

474
00:17:35,449 --> 00:17:38,994
I'm just gonna be staying
at Meemaw's a little bit longer.

475
00:17:40,204 --> 00:17:41,247
Okay.

476
00:17:41,247 --> 00:17:43,290
You all right?

477
00:17:43,290 --> 00:17:45,167
No.

478
00:17:45,167 --> 00:17:47,586
What's going on?

479
00:17:47,586 --> 00:17:50,714
My database...

480
00:17:50,714 --> 00:17:53,717
I've-I've never failed
like this before,

481
00:17:53,717 --> 00:17:55,553
and it frightens me.

482
00:17:57,221 --> 00:17:59,348
Oh... sweetie,

483
00:17:59,348 --> 00:18:01,767
I'm sorry. Sometimes,

484
00:18:01,767 --> 00:18:04,103
no matter how much
we want things to work out,

485
00:18:04,103 --> 00:18:06,230
they just don't.

486
00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:34,258
ADULT SHELDON:
Dealing with failure
is a tricky business.

487
00:18:34,258 --> 00:18:37,344
You can face it head on
and try to overcome it.

488
00:18:40,556 --> 00:18:42,266
Good job, Mama.

489
00:18:43,726 --> 00:18:45,186
ADULT SHELDON:
You can avoid it.

490
00:18:45,186 --> 00:18:47,521
Thanks for
letting me stay.

491
00:18:47,521 --> 00:18:50,357
For as long
as you need.

492
00:18:50,357 --> 00:18:52,485
ADULT SHELDON:
You can try to drown it out.

493
00:18:52,485 --> 00:18:54,570
(crowd cheers,
whistle blows on TV)

494
00:18:55,779 --> 00:18:58,199
Or you can try to talk
to someone about it.

495
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,580
And some people choose to run.
