00:00:07,659 --> 00:00:10,662
Previously onYoung Sheldon...We've never really discussed

2
00:00:10,706 --> 00:00:13,056
the status
of our relationship.

3
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,710
Men don't break up with me.

4
00:00:14,753 --> 00:00:16,494
Ido the breaking up.

So, uh,

6
00:00:17,539 --> 00:00:18,801
how's Connie?

7
00:00:18,844 --> 00:00:21,325
Hit him!

8
00:00:21,369 --> 00:00:22,413
Hit him again.

9
00:00:22,457 --> 00:00:23,719
Mom's good.

10
00:00:23,762 --> 00:00:26,113
I'm glad she's doing well.
Tell her I say hi.

11
00:00:26,156 --> 00:00:28,071
Or wait, greetings.

12
00:00:28,115 --> 00:00:29,681
Greetings from John.

13
00:00:29,725 --> 00:00:31,683
Hey, can I talk to you?

14
00:00:31,727 --> 00:00:33,729
You tell my granddaughter
she can't play baseball?

15
00:00:33,772 --> 00:00:35,644
I was just looking out
for her, that's all.

16
00:00:35,687 --> 00:00:37,559
Well, you and me are
gonna have problems.

17
00:00:37,602 --> 00:00:39,561
MISSY:
Meemaw got a date
with the coach.

18
00:00:39,604 --> 00:00:42,477
What?It was a productive afternoon.

19
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,479

Before that disembodied voice

21
00:00:49,745 --> 00:00:52,443
on AOL started saying,
"You've got mail,"

22
00:00:52,487 --> 00:00:54,402
we relied on my mom.

23
00:00:54,445 --> 00:00:57,100
Shelly, you've got mail!

24
00:00:57,144 --> 00:00:58,841
ADULT SHELDON:
Some mail brought great joy. Ooh!

25
00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:01,278
Greetings, Mr. Spock.

26
00:01:01,322 --> 00:01:03,454
ADULT SHELDON:
Some mail brought pain.

27
00:01:03,498 --> 00:01:05,543
George, you got jury duty!

28
00:01:05,587 --> 00:01:08,111

And one time...

30
00:01:09,852 --> 00:01:12,202
Missy, you got something.

31
00:01:12,246 --> 00:01:15,031
...mail caused a war
between neighbors

of the Klingon Empire

33
00:01:17,468 --> 00:01:20,732
and the Federation, which--
trust me-- was a doozy.

34
00:01:20,776 --> 00:01:22,082
What'd you get?

35
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:24,214
An invitation
to Billy's birthday party.

36
00:01:24,258 --> 00:01:25,955
That's nice.

37
00:01:25,998 --> 00:01:28,566
I wonder where Sheldon's is.

Hey, Brenda. It's Mary.

40
00:01:31,003 --> 00:01:32,701
Oh, hey.MARY: So,

41
00:01:32,744 --> 00:01:35,225
we got Missy's invitation
to Billy's party.

42
00:01:35,269 --> 00:01:36,792
Great. Hope she can make it.

43
00:01:36,835 --> 00:01:39,099
But Sheldon's didn't arrive
for some reason.

44
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:40,665
Maybe it got lost in the mail?

45
00:01:40,709 --> 00:01:42,232
It didn't get lost.

46
00:01:42,276 --> 00:01:44,016
What are you saying?

47
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:46,454
I think you know
what I'm saying.

48
00:01:46,497 --> 00:01:49,021
So Sheldon isn't invited?

49
00:01:49,065 --> 00:01:50,458
See? You knew. Bye.

Aren't you going
to walk me in?

I think you can manage it.

59
00:02:17,267 --> 00:02:19,226
Is it because you're trying

No.

Oh, hello, John.

It's nice to see you.

65

It's nice to see you, too.I assumed

66
00:02:31,847 --> 00:02:33,805
you stopped bringing
Sheldon to class

67
00:02:33,849 --> 00:02:36,591
'cause you were worried it would
be awkward running into me

68
00:02:36,634 --> 00:02:38,245
after our breakup.SHELDON: I asked her
the same question,

69
00:02:38,288 --> 00:02:40,725
but she assured me
that wasn't the case.

70
00:02:40,769 --> 00:02:42,162
What a relief!

71
00:02:42,205 --> 00:02:45,034
So, I suppose I'll
see you after class?

72
00:02:45,077 --> 00:02:47,210
I suppose you will.

73
00:02:47,254 --> 00:02:50,126
Now, didn't she used to
walk you to your seat?

74
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,997
She did,
but she was younger then.

75
00:02:52,041 --> 00:02:54,174
That makes sense. [knock on door]

76
00:02:54,217 --> 00:02:56,611
Sheldon and Billy
are friends.

77
00:02:56,654 --> 00:02:58,743
My son should be at his party.

78
00:02:58,787 --> 00:03:00,615
[sighs]
Look,

79
00:03:00,658 --> 00:03:03,139
I'm not trying
to be mean here.

80
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,620
Billy has a tough enough
time with other kids

81
00:03:05,663 --> 00:03:08,579
without them seeing him pal
around with the local weirdo.

82
00:03:08,623 --> 00:03:10,668
I thought you weren't
trying to be mean.

83
00:03:10,712 --> 00:03:12,844
That was the nicest
way I could say it.

84
00:03:12,888 --> 00:03:16,108
Well, I'm not trying
to be mean here either,

85
00:03:16,152 --> 00:03:20,069
but you are behaving
very unneighborly.

86
00:03:20,112 --> 00:03:21,984
[scoffs] That was mean?

87
00:03:22,027 --> 00:03:24,247
You're darn tootin'.Tootin'?

88
00:03:24,291 --> 00:03:26,945
Tootin'!
Okay.

89
00:03:26,989 --> 00:03:29,948
So if Einstein's analysis
of time is correct,

90
00:03:29,992 --> 00:03:31,776
the future's already happened,

91
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:34,866
but we'll discuss that
in more detail next week.

92
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:38,087
Or perhaps we already have.Exactly. [laughs]

93
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,307
Good one. Let's hit the road.

94
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:41,612
It was nice seeing you, Connie.

95
00:03:41,656 --> 00:03:45,268
Uh, we should get coffee
sometime and catch up.

96
00:03:45,312 --> 00:03:49,577
Maybe, sure, yeah. We'll see.

97
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:51,535
What about, uh,
tomorrow morning?

98
00:03:51,579 --> 00:03:54,408
Oh, that's not great for me.

99
00:03:54,451 --> 00:03:56,975
Well, what about Sunday?

100
00:03:57,019 --> 00:03:59,891
Mm, I can't do that either.
Maybe another time.

101
00:03:59,935 --> 00:04:02,851
Oh, I see.

102
00:04:02,894 --> 00:04:04,156
You should probably settle

103
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,115
on a specific date
because when I want to go

104
00:04:06,158 --> 00:04:08,248
to RadioShack and my dad says,
"Maybe another time,"

105
00:04:08,291 --> 00:04:09,858
we never end up going.

106
00:04:09,901 --> 00:04:12,295
Thank you so much, Sheldon.
I think we got this.

107
00:04:12,339 --> 00:04:17,082
Yes. Well, uh, Sheldon, uh,
s-see you next week.

108
00:04:17,126 --> 00:04:20,738
Bye. Can you explain why you
didn't settle on a specific date

109
00:04:20,782 --> 00:04:23,175
for coffee with
Dr. Sturgis?

110
00:04:23,219 --> 00:04:25,874
Maybe another time.
Okay.

111
00:04:25,917 --> 00:04:28,833
And then she said
she didn't want the other kids

112
00:04:28,877 --> 00:04:30,879
to see Billy hanging out
with Sheldon.

113
00:04:30,922 --> 00:04:32,576
That boy's only other friend
is a chicken

114
00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:34,230
and she's worried about Sheldon?

115
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,320
What do we do?
Tell Missy she can't go?

116
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:38,843
If we're only gonna
let Missy go places

117
00:04:38,887 --> 00:04:40,062
where they want
to have Sheldon,

118
00:04:40,105 --> 00:04:41,542
then she ain't gonna
get out much.

119
00:04:41,585 --> 00:04:43,413
Well, I don't think
it's right that...[TV turns on]

120
00:04:45,459 --> 00:04:47,374
Sup.

121
00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:51,116
Excuse me. Can't you see that
your father and I are talking?

122
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,336
Yeah, but you can
talk anywhere,

123
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:56,557
and this is the only room
in the house with a TV.

124
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,123
Get out of here.

125
00:04:58,167 --> 00:05:00,517
Suit yourself.[TV turns off]

126
00:05:00,561 --> 00:05:02,302
But I'd like to point out,

127
00:05:02,345 --> 00:05:04,304
if you'd let me buy a TV
for my bedroom,

128
00:05:04,347 --> 00:05:06,349
we wouldn't be in this
situation, now would we?

129
00:05:06,393 --> 00:05:08,830
Go.

130
00:05:08,873 --> 00:05:10,614
I just hate

131
00:05:10,658 --> 00:05:12,529
that our little boy
gets left out.

132
00:05:12,573 --> 00:05:15,358
Me, too, but he should
probably get used to it.

133
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:17,752
That's a terrible thing to say.

134
00:05:17,795 --> 00:05:21,321
Oh, come on, Mary, the boy's
not exactly a social butterfly.

135
00:05:21,364 --> 00:05:23,758
In fact, he's scared
of butterflies.

136
00:05:23,801 --> 00:05:25,020
Besides,
it's their house.

137
00:05:25,063 --> 00:05:26,369
If they don't want him,

138
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:27,979
there's nothing
you can do about it.

139
00:05:30,025 --> 00:05:33,594
Pastor Jeff, are you
still looking for a topic

140
00:05:33,637 --> 00:05:35,030
for this week's sermon?

141
00:05:35,073 --> 00:05:36,858
You mean the one I'm
doing in 20 minutes?

142
00:05:36,901 --> 00:05:39,991
Sorry, silly question.No.

143
00:05:40,035 --> 00:05:42,080
What do you got?
I was gonna do Noah's ark,

144
00:05:42,124 --> 00:05:44,300
but Sheldon's
gonna eat me alive,

145
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:46,781
like those two lions would've
done to those two giraffes.

146
00:05:46,824 --> 00:05:50,306
Well, I've been thinking
about the importance

147
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,352

A Pharisee once asked Jesus what

158
00:06:23,165 --> 00:06:25,515
the greatest commandment was,
and do you know what he said?

159
00:06:25,559 --> 00:06:28,170
Sheldon,
it's a rhetorical question.

160
00:06:28,213 --> 00:06:30,433
Aw.
He said it was

161
00:06:30,477 --> 00:06:34,698
to love God and love
your neighbor as yourself.

162
00:06:34,742 --> 00:06:37,048
And that's what I want
to talk about today,

163
00:06:37,092 --> 00:06:40,269
being a good neighbor.
How do we love our neighbors?

164
00:06:40,312 --> 00:06:42,402
We check in on them,

165
00:06:42,445 --> 00:06:44,447
we welcome them
into our homes.

166
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:46,667
If we're having a party,
we invite them.

167
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:48,538
Even if they're not
the most popular.Are you kidding me?

168
00:06:48,582 --> 00:06:49,931
Shh.

169
00:06:49,974 --> 00:06:51,889
Some of the Romans
thought he was a little weird,

170
00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:54,457
but if you invite him
into your heart,

171
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:57,547
you get to go to
the biggest party of all,

172
00:06:57,591 --> 00:06:59,157
the one in the sky.

173
00:06:59,201 --> 00:07:01,290
Ooh, a party
in the sky.

174
00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:03,379
Fun.
He means heaven.

175
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:05,337
Or a blimp.

176
00:07:05,381 --> 00:07:07,427

00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:31,696
before I bring up
my emotional state?

353
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:34,569
Oh, still want
to talk about that, huh?

354
00:14:34,612 --> 00:14:35,657
Well, I...

355
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:38,312
do think it would be
helpful for me.

356
00:14:38,355 --> 00:14:42,316
Uh, we got seven minutes
till kickoff.[TV turns off]

357
00:14:42,359 --> 00:14:44,796
Have at it.Where to begin?
[chuckles]

358
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,278
I saw Connie for the first time
since I broke up with her,

359
00:14:48,322 --> 00:14:51,064
and it was harder
than I expected.

360
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:53,109
[chuckles]:
Well, breakups can be rough.

361
00:14:53,153 --> 00:14:55,633
I thought I was doing
the right thing by her,

362
00:14:55,677 --> 00:14:58,201
but now it seems
that I've lost her,

363
00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:01,944
not only as a romantic partner,
but even as a friend.

364
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:04,773
Women, huh?I've been feeling

365
00:15:04,816 --> 00:15:08,211
the loss very profoundly
and it's making me wonder

366
00:15:08,255 --> 00:15:10,474
if she also is feeling lonely

367
00:15:10,518 --> 00:15:13,825
and I made a bad decision
for both of us.

368
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:18,656
I hate to be the one
to tell you this, John,

369
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:21,050
but, uh...

370
00:15:21,094 --> 00:15:23,444
she's kind of been
seeing someone new

371
00:15:23,487 --> 00:15:25,446
and, uh...

372
00:15:25,489 --> 00:15:27,622
she seems to be
doing okay.

373
00:15:27,665 --> 00:15:31,278
I see.

374
00:15:31,321 --> 00:15:32,975
[stammers]

375
00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:34,455
Is she happy?

376
00:15:34,498 --> 00:15:37,632
Hard to tell.
Her face is all scrunched up

377
00:15:37,675 --> 00:15:39,939
and pinched
most of the time.

378
00:15:39,982 --> 00:15:43,855
Well, I hope this man she's
seeing treats her well.

379
00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:46,423
He seems okay.

380
00:15:46,467 --> 00:15:50,036
I also hope he gets lost
at sea and never returns.

381
00:15:51,341 --> 00:15:54,214
I'm having a lot
of feelings.

382
00:15:54,257 --> 00:15:56,956
Well, when that happens to me,
I have another beer.

383
00:15:56,999 --> 00:15:59,567
I haven't finished
this one yet.

384
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:00,872
More for me.

385
00:16:02,657 --> 00:16:05,790
Ensign Sparks, there appears
to be a white object

386
00:16:05,834 --> 00:16:08,576
under this chicken.It's called an egg.

387
00:16:08,619 --> 00:16:11,709
Interesting. What is its
function on this planet?

388
00:16:11,753 --> 00:16:15,496
People eat them and throw them
at me on Halloween.

389
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:17,846
What are you doing out here?

390
00:16:17,889 --> 00:16:19,326
Playing with Sheldon.

391
00:16:19,369 --> 00:16:20,849
You're missing your party.

392
00:16:20,892 --> 00:16:22,329
But I'm having fun.

393
00:16:22,372 --> 00:16:24,679
Do not be alarmed,
our mission is one of peace.

394
00:16:24,722 --> 00:16:28,074
I'm gonna go have a little chat
with your mother.

395
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,773
Seems unlikely;
my mother's on Vulcan.

396
00:16:31,816 --> 00:16:33,818
My mom is on Valium.

397
00:16:47,702 --> 00:16:50,270
Oh, they scored
another touchdown.

398
00:16:50,313 --> 00:16:52,446
That's just
a replay, John.

399
00:16:52,489 --> 00:16:53,882
[laughs]

400
00:16:55,927 --> 00:16:58,974
Hey.Connie.

401
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:01,716
I saw your bike outside,
so I-I thought I'd just,

402
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:04,675
uh, say hi.

403
00:17:04,719 --> 00:17:06,460
Well, that's so nice of you.

404
00:17:06,503 --> 00:17:08,549
I don't mean to interrupt
or anything.

405
00:17:08,592 --> 00:17:12,248
I just wanted to... check in.

406
00:17:13,684 --> 00:17:15,991
Would it be awkward
if I asked her to join us?

407
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,733
Oh, couldn't be
any more awkward.

408
00:17:18,776 --> 00:17:21,388
Would you like to, uh,
watch the game with us?

409
00:17:21,431 --> 00:17:22,824
It's-it's football.

410
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:25,348
Well, sure. [chuckles]

411
00:17:25,392 --> 00:17:26,784
I guess a...

412
00:17:26,828 --> 00:17:28,830
little visit wouldn't hurt.

413
00:17:30,136 --> 00:17:32,225
Excellent.

414
00:17:32,268 --> 00:17:35,489
Let me guess,
you brought the grapes.

415
00:17:35,532 --> 00:17:37,665
I did.
[laughs]

416
00:17:43,236 --> 00:17:44,759
Hey, how many of those
have you had?

417
00:17:44,802 --> 00:17:46,674
So many!

418
00:17:47,849 --> 00:17:49,155
[door closes]

419
00:17:49,198 --> 00:17:50,939
Hope you're happy.

420
00:17:50,982 --> 00:17:53,724
Billy's missing his own party
'cause he's playing spaceman

421
00:17:53,768 --> 00:17:55,813
in the chicken coop
with your son.

422
00:17:58,251 --> 00:18:01,123
You were right. I shouldn't have
made you invite him.

423
00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:02,385
I'm sorry.

424
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:07,216
Okay.

425
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:09,566
Well, good.

426
00:18:09,610 --> 00:18:13,266
It's just hard
to see him be left out.

427
00:18:13,309 --> 00:18:16,965
And I worry it's not gonna
get better when he grows older.

428
00:18:19,185 --> 00:18:22,275
Can't say that Billy
is exactly Mr. Popular either.

429
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,279
I'm sure this kind of stuff
bothers me

430
00:18:26,322 --> 00:18:28,107
way more than
it bothers Sheldon.

431
00:18:31,501 --> 00:18:33,503
Doesn't make it any easier,
does it?

432
00:18:33,547 --> 00:18:35,897
No.

433
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,986
I'm gonna take Shelly back home

434
00:18:38,029 --> 00:18:41,598
so that Billy can
get back to his party.
Eh.

435
00:18:41,642 --> 00:18:44,297
You know, they're
having fun out there.

436
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:45,820
[door opens]

437
00:18:45,863 --> 00:18:48,257
SHELDON:
Gallus gallus domesticus
pooped on my uniform!

438
00:18:48,301 --> 00:18:50,912
The mission
is compromised!

439
00:18:51,956 --> 00:18:54,133
Maybe take him home.Yeah.

440
00:18:59,399 --> 00:19:02,228
I've got something here for
both of you. It's from Billy.

441
00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:04,186
I hope it's not
another invitation.

442
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:06,797
It's probably a thank you note.

443
00:19:06,841 --> 00:19:08,669
So now I have to write
a you're welcome note?

444
00:19:08,712 --> 00:19:10,236
You people are killing me.

445
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:11,541
"Dear Sheldon
and Missy,

446
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:13,195
"thank you for coming
to my party.

447
00:19:13,239 --> 00:19:15,023
"I liked playing with Mr. Spock

448
00:19:15,066 --> 00:19:17,286
and watching Missy throw up
Kool-Aid in the bushes."

449
00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:19,245
Still tasted like cherry.

450
00:19:19,288 --> 00:19:22,944
"My mother also threw up,
but that was because of wine.

451
00:19:22,987 --> 00:19:25,512
My dad says she
drinks because..."Okay, that's nice.

452
00:19:25,555 --> 00:19:27,992
But there's more.No, there's not.

453
00:19:28,036 --> 00:19:30,952
Guess we'll never know
why she drinks.
