00:00:00,258 --> 00:00:01,915
Previously, on
"Young Sheldon"...
2
00:00:01,999 --> 00:00:04,483
Hello. I'm Sheldon Cooper,
and this is
3
00:00:04,567 --> 00:00:06,929
"Why Sheldon Cooper Should
Go to College."
4
00:00:07,218 --> 00:00:09,352
Which is why I'm proposing
that I live at home
5
00:00:09,437 --> 00:00:11,438
but enroll full-time
to continue my studies
6
00:00:11,523 --> 00:00:13,927
with Dr. Sturgis
at East Texas Tech.
7
00:00:14,289 --> 00:00:15,798
Hi, Mary.
8
00:00:15,882 --> 00:00:19,019
I know this must be
a hard decision for you,
9
00:00:19,461 --> 00:00:21,555
but if you let him come here,
10
00:00:21,852 --> 00:00:25,153
I promise we'll take
good care of him.
11
00:00:26,134 --> 00:00:28,879
Ready for college,
12
00:00:29,002 --> 00:00:30,572
ready to change the world.
13
00:00:30,850 --> 00:00:32,142
Cut.
14
00:00:32,227 --> 00:00:33,371
If that doesn't
convince her,
15
00:00:33,455 --> 00:00:35,240
I don't know
what her problem is.
16
00:00:40,405 --> 00:00:42,781
I'm excited to finally
usecollege-ruled paper
17
00:00:42,866 --> 00:00:44,566
and not feel likel'm living a lie.
18
00:00:44,836 --> 00:00:46,517
What's college-ruled paper?
19
00:00:46,602 --> 00:00:48,614
The lines are 18% closer
together.
20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,616
College sounds hard.
21
00:00:50,805 --> 00:00:52,797
You won't have to worry
about that, honey.
22
00:00:52,922 --> 00:00:54,098
Okay.
23
00:00:54,182 --> 00:00:56,430
Missy, don't forget thatyou
have to pick out a present
24
00:00:56,532 --> 00:00:58,173
for that birthday next week.
25
00:00:58,258 --> 00:01:00,211
Mom, it's "Melissa" now.
26
00:01:00,516 --> 00:01:01,801
Middle school.
27
00:01:01,885 --> 00:01:03,890
- Who's Melissa?
- Me.
28
00:01:03,992 --> 00:01:05,126
Then who's Missy?
29
00:01:05,211 --> 00:01:06,806
"Missy" is short for
"Melissa."
30
00:01:06,952 --> 00:01:09,524
Like how "Billy" is short
for "William."
31
00:01:09,944 --> 00:01:11,390
I don't understand.
32
00:01:11,539 --> 00:01:13,914
You know how your
real name is William?
33
00:01:14,125 --> 00:01:15,119
I'm Billy.
34
00:01:15,203 --> 00:01:18,078
No, we call you Billy, but
your real name is William.
35
00:01:18,302 --> 00:01:20,516
But my underpants
say "Billy" in them.
36
00:01:21,992 --> 00:01:24,212
Mom, is my name William?
37
00:01:24,633 --> 00:01:25,704
Yeah.
38
00:01:25,789 --> 00:01:28,042
Then whose underpants
am I wearing?
39
00:01:30,261 --> 00:01:33,384
♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪
40
00:01:33,469 --> 00:01:36,125
♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain
41
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:38,563
♪ I bet I could be your hero
42
00:01:38,655 --> 00:01:41,587
♪ I am a mighty little man
43
00:01:41,672 --> 00:01:45,047
♪ I am a mighty little man. ♪

Season 04 Episode 06
45
00:01:47,545 --> 00:01:49,140
Episode Title: "Freshman Orientation
and the Inventor of the Zipper"
46
00:01:49,224 --> 00:01:50,765
Aired on:
January 21, 2021
47
00:01:50,933 --> 00:01:52,198
Thanks again.
48
00:01:52,283 --> 00:01:54,157
Robin is gonna be
thrilled with this.
49
00:01:54,242 --> 00:01:56,421
Oh, don't thank me. Thank Mary.
50
00:01:56,505 --> 00:01:58,117
She's the one who said
I had to do it.
51
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:00,211
Just out of curiosity,
did she also mention
52
00:02:00,296 --> 00:02:02,234
helping me build the crib
at some point?
53
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:03,468
No.
54
00:02:03,553 --> 00:02:05,578
Well, act surprised
when she does.
55
00:02:05,849 --> 00:02:08,265
Dang it.
56
00:02:11,679 --> 00:02:13,328
What do you think
you're doing?
57
00:02:13,491 --> 00:02:15,304
Trying to get
the bike started.
58
00:02:15,539 --> 00:02:16,688
Why?
59
00:02:16,773 --> 00:02:18,125
So I can ride it.
60
00:02:18,367 --> 00:02:20,023
Like hell you are!
61
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:21,794
Sorry.
62
00:02:22,164 --> 00:02:23,578
You don't use it.
63
00:02:23,797 --> 00:02:25,172
'Cause your mother
won't let me.
64
00:02:25,257 --> 00:02:26,625
And if I can't, you can't.
65
00:02:26,828 --> 00:02:28,888
If I get it running,
can I at least sell it?
66
00:02:28,972 --> 00:02:30,054
No.
67
00:02:30,139 --> 00:02:32,055
But it's just sitting here.
What's the point?
68
00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:33,632
Point is I said no.
69
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,914
I can't believe someone so lame
even owned a bike like this.
70
00:02:43,212 --> 00:02:45,127
Why are kids
such a pain in the ass?
71
00:02:46,964 --> 00:02:49,140
I'm sure yours will be great.
72
00:02:51,316 --> 00:02:54,218
I feel like this cover
really says who I am now.
73
00:02:54,437 --> 00:02:56,265
That looks like
all your notebooks.
74
00:02:56,359 --> 00:02:59,757
Missy got ponies.
Melissa gets horses.
75
00:03:01,491 --> 00:03:02,540
Hello, Coopers.
76
00:03:02,625 --> 00:03:04,402
Dr. Sturgis here.
77
00:03:04,486 --> 00:03:06,500
This is a message for Mary.
78
00:03:07,061 --> 00:03:09,493
I have some news
I need to share with you
79
00:03:09,578 --> 00:03:11,859
before Sheldon starts college.
80
00:03:11,944 --> 00:03:13,209
Please call me back.
81
00:03:14,818 --> 00:03:17,171
I wonder why he'd want
to talk to you and not me.
82
00:03:18,128 --> 00:03:19,546
Dr. Sturgis again.
83
00:03:19,631 --> 00:03:22,047
If Sheldon happened to hear
that last message
84
00:03:22,132 --> 00:03:24,773
and is wondering why I'd want
to speak to his mother first
85
00:03:24,858 --> 00:03:26,686
and not him...
86
00:03:27,724 --> 00:03:29,250
Excellent question!
87
00:03:29,335 --> 00:03:32,820
It's that kind of curiosity
that makes him
88
00:03:32,973 --> 00:03:35,235
a true man of science.
89
00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:39,521
I'm a true man of science.
90
00:03:45,222 --> 00:03:47,184
- Hello.
- Hello, Dr. Sturgis.
91
00:03:47,406 --> 00:03:48,707
This is Mary Cooper.
92
00:03:48,906 --> 00:03:51,449
Hi. Thanks for calling me back.
93
00:03:51,922 --> 00:03:53,755
So, what's going on?
94
00:03:53,839 --> 00:03:55,180
Everything okay?
95
00:03:55,265 --> 00:03:57,859
Yes, everything is
quite good, actually.
96
00:03:58,322 --> 00:04:00,153
Well, for me, that is.
97
00:04:00,237 --> 00:04:01,656
Um...
98
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:05,331
did you know there's
a supercollider being built
99
00:04:05,416 --> 00:04:07,179
in Waxahachie, Texas?
100
00:04:07,687 --> 00:04:08,793
No.
101
00:04:08,941 --> 00:04:11,679
Do you know
what a supercollider is?
102
00:04:12,078 --> 00:04:13,124
Not really.
103
00:04:13,209 --> 00:04:14,993
Would you like a crash course?
104
00:04:15,078 --> 00:04:16,507
Which is humorous
105
00:04:16,592 --> 00:04:21,042
because it involves particles
crashing into each other.
106
00:04:21,127 --> 00:04:23,890
I'd like you to tell me what
this has to do with Sheldon.
107
00:04:24,343 --> 00:04:27,609
Well, that part's less funny.
108
00:04:27,846 --> 00:04:29,664
I've taken a job there.
109
00:04:30,572 --> 00:04:31,992
Hold on.
110
00:04:32,182 --> 00:04:35,319
You're not gonna be around
when Sheldon starts college?
111
00:04:35,562 --> 00:04:37,570
That's a great question.
112
00:04:37,796 --> 00:04:38,887
No.
113
00:04:38,971 --> 00:04:41,899
John, I agreed to let him go
114
00:04:41,984 --> 00:04:44,676
because you were gonna be there
to look after him.
115
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,140
I know.
116
00:04:46,416 --> 00:04:48,820
And I feel terrible
about it, but...
117
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,156
please understand,
118
00:04:51,242 --> 00:04:54,328
this is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
119
00:04:54,423 --> 00:04:56,087
I couldn't turn it down.
120
00:04:56,172 --> 00:04:58,037
Orientation starts next week.
121
00:04:58,121 --> 00:04:59,390
I'm aware.
122
00:04:59,578 --> 00:05:02,406
Well, I hope
that you're ready
123
00:05:02,507 --> 00:05:04,500
to hear him freak out
when you tell him.
124
00:05:04,585 --> 00:05:06,781
I was kind of hoping
he'd just be excited
125
00:05:06,882 --> 00:05:08,874
I get to work on
the supercollider.
126
00:05:08,958 --> 00:05:11,050
Right, because being happy
for other people
127
00:05:11,134 --> 00:05:13,444
- is where he shines.
- A supercollider?
128
00:05:13,528 --> 00:05:14,906
Well, you can't say no to that.
129
00:05:14,991 --> 00:05:16,344
I give up.
130
00:05:16,429 --> 00:05:18,260
Ooh, can you get me
a bumper sticker?
131
00:05:19,172 --> 00:05:22,428
Did you know Dr. Sturgis
was taking a new job?
132
00:05:22,937 --> 00:05:23,932
What job?
133
00:05:24,016 --> 00:05:28,031
He went to work on some
supercollider in Waxahachie.
134
00:05:28,250 --> 00:05:29,559
What do you mean "went"?
135
00:05:29,644 --> 00:05:31,054
He's already there.
136
00:05:31,272 --> 00:05:33,833
- When did you hear this?
- He just called.
137
00:05:34,029 --> 00:05:36,990
I was counting on him
to be there for Sheldon.
138
00:05:37,075 --> 00:05:39,426
Well, you'd think he would've
mentioned it to me.
139
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:41,178
Sheldon says it's okay
with him,
140
00:05:41,263 --> 00:05:42,881
but I would certainly
feel a lot better
141
00:05:42,966 --> 00:05:45,389
if there were adults there
that I trusted.
142
00:05:45,473 --> 00:05:47,304
Nothing on the
answering machine.
143
00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:49,240
He's just a little boy,
and he's gonna be
144
00:05:49,325 --> 00:05:51,201
on that big campus
all by himself.
145
00:05:51,286 --> 00:05:52,975
I mean, I know
we're not dating anymore,
146
00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:54,920
but I thought
we were still friends.
147
00:05:55,004 --> 00:05:56,240
Excuse me.
148
00:05:56,325 --> 00:05:58,709
I think you're focusing on the
wrong part of the story here.
149
00:05:58,794 --> 00:06:00,923
He's little, you're worried.
Please continue.
150
00:06:01,924 --> 00:06:03,560
That sums it up.
151
00:06:04,662 --> 00:06:06,142
Okay.
152
00:06:13,435 --> 00:06:14,435
Missy.
153
00:06:16,130 --> 00:06:17,138
What?
154
00:06:17,222 --> 00:06:18,705
Help me with my clothes.
155
00:06:19,083 --> 00:06:20,795
Burn them and get new ones.
156
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,578
Please, it's
freshman orientation.
157
00:06:22,662 --> 00:06:24,349
I want to make
a good impression.
158
00:06:24,724 --> 00:06:26,234
Fine.
159
00:06:26,981 --> 00:06:29,692
Which bow tie says
mature enough to be in college
160
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:32,066
but whimsical enough
to discuss which came first,
161
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:33,891
the Higgs field or the photon?
162
00:06:35,217 --> 00:06:37,529
They both say
weird kid who eats alone.
163
00:06:37,614 --> 00:06:39,116
Come on.
I know you're concerned about
164
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,927
what you'll wear
to middle school.
165
00:06:41,403 --> 00:06:43,317
Show me again.
166
00:06:44,856 --> 00:06:46,776
The blue one. Plaid's too busy.
167
00:06:46,888 --> 00:06:48,349
Thanks.
168
00:06:48,434 --> 00:06:50,583
Or don't be the kid
in a bow tie.
169
00:06:50,726 --> 00:06:53,380
This is not the day
to go crazy.
170
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:58,918
My son, the college freshman.
171
00:06:59,122 --> 00:07:00,660
I can't believe it.
172
00:07:00,744 --> 00:07:01,835
How can you not
believe it?
173
00:07:01,974 --> 00:07:03,880
You had to sign
my vaccination form.
174
00:07:03,964 --> 00:07:05,229
Right.
175
00:07:05,313 --> 00:07:07,037
So, what do you
want to do first?
176
00:07:07,122 --> 00:07:08,858
I was thinking we could
start at the bookstore,
177
00:07:08,942 --> 00:07:10,575
try and beat the lines.
178
00:07:10,661 --> 00:07:13,169
I agree about the lines,
but what do you mean "we"?
179
00:07:13,574 --> 00:07:15,365
I mean you and me.
180
00:07:15,450 --> 00:07:16,806
This is my first day.
I can't be seen
181
00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:18,873
walking around campus
with my mommy.
182
00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:21,764
Well, it's only orientation.
183
00:07:21,849 --> 00:07:23,942
Yes, and I'm quite capable
of handling everything
184
00:07:24,091 --> 00:07:25,764
that I need to get done today
on my own.
185
00:07:25,849 --> 00:07:27,545
I'm sure you are.
186
00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:30,725
I just figured,
with Dr. Sturgis not around,
187
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:32,545
it might be nice
if I could be.
188
00:07:32,630 --> 00:07:34,856
No one else's mother
is going to be.
189
00:07:34,941 --> 00:07:36,482
You don't know that.
190
00:07:36,567 --> 00:07:37,914
Well, I know mine isn't.
191
00:07:38,302 --> 00:07:40,584
You might want
to watch the attitude
192
00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:42,388
to the person who's
driving you there.
193
00:07:42,497 --> 00:07:43,746
Not all the way there.
194
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:46,169
Drop me off a block away
so no one sees us together.
195
00:07:46,294 --> 00:07:49,161
Sorry, I am not leaving you
alone your first day.
196
00:07:49,303 --> 00:07:50,350
Yes, you are.
197
00:07:50,435 --> 00:07:52,896
For someone going into college,
198
00:07:52,981 --> 00:07:54,794
you are acting
very childish.
199
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,019
Maybe it just appears
that way
200
00:07:56,103 --> 00:07:57,760
because you see me
with my mommy.
201
00:07:58,086 --> 00:07:59,914
Oh...
202
00:08:01,239 --> 00:08:03,794
Boy, I remember putting one of
these together for Georgie.
203
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,286
It is great having
y'all next door.
204
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:09,162
Did you not hear me yelling
at Georgie last night?
205
00:08:09,247 --> 00:08:11,217
It's okay. I'm sure
you'll hear our little one
206
00:08:11,302 --> 00:08:12,357
crying soon enough.
207
00:08:12,442 --> 00:08:14,200
Missy was a crier.
208
00:08:14,849 --> 00:08:16,646
Sheldon just learned
to talk and said,
209
00:08:16,731 --> 00:08:18,575
"Father, I have soiled myself."
210
00:08:18,989 --> 00:08:21,450
Well, he's a miracle
in his own way.
211
00:08:21,841 --> 00:08:24,396
Oh, you just put a positive spin
on everything, don't you?
212
00:08:24,669 --> 00:08:26,571
Kind of goes with
the pastor territory.
213
00:08:27,099 --> 00:08:28,182
Okay.
214
00:08:29,101 --> 00:08:30,366
What if I said
215
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:31,918
Mary and I have not had
216
00:08:32,003 --> 00:08:34,441
a real vacation
since we had kids?
217
00:08:35,786 --> 00:08:37,411
I like to believe
starting a family
218
00:08:37,496 --> 00:08:39,911
will be the most rewarding
adventure of all.
219
00:08:40,511 --> 00:08:41,789
You're good.
220
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,060
You could not be more wrong,
but you're good.
221
00:08:46,411 --> 00:08:48,768

Follow me.
226
00:08:57,512 --> 00:08:59,826
Normally I would prefer
a fresh new textbook,
227
00:08:59,911 --> 00:09:01,998
but my father is a high
school football coach.
228
00:09:02,082 --> 00:09:03,826
Which is another way
of saying we're poor.
229
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:05,435

Let's talk about the weather.
234
00:09:16,183 --> 00:09:18,341
It's going to be
a beautiful sunny day today
235
00:09:18,497 --> 00:09:20,428
with temps reaching
a high of 97.
236
00:09:20,513 --> 00:09:21,435
Gross.
237
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,936
In other news, President Bush
will be traveling to Waxahachie
238
00:09:25,021 --> 00:09:27,068
later this month
to visit the site
239
00:09:27,153 --> 00:09:28,849
of a new supercollider.
240
00:09:29,005 --> 00:09:32,303
Scientists are hopeful this
will lead to exciting discoveries
241
00:09:32,388 --> 00:09:33,856
in the world of part...
242
00:09:36,681 --> 00:09:37,903
What?
243
00:09:37,988 --> 00:09:39,911
You said you'd show me
how to hot-roll my hair.
244
00:09:40,021 --> 00:09:42,653
Oh, right.
You still want to do that?
245
00:09:42,794 --> 00:09:43,910
You're cranky.
246
00:09:44,122 --> 00:09:47,043
So maybe I shouldn't be putting
hot rollers on your head.
247
00:09:47,427 --> 00:09:50,161
Meh, you're always cranky.
Let's do this.
248
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:56,521
Not so bad.
249
00:09:57,755 --> 00:09:59,531
I would have
highlighted that.
250
00:10:00,684 --> 00:10:02,863
And someone drew
genitals.
251
00:10:09,123 --> 00:10:11,163
Oh. Mrs. Cooper?
252
00:10:11,397 --> 00:10:13,113
Oh, hi.
253
00:10:13,681 --> 00:10:14,902
Sam.
254
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:16,507
Yes, of course.
255
00:10:16,591 --> 00:10:19,597
Oh, from, um,
Sheldon's physics class.
256
00:10:19,681 --> 00:10:20,816
How are you?
257
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,470
Oh, I'm-I'm good. Yeah.
258
00:10:22,554 --> 00:10:24,132
What brings you here?
259
00:10:24,217 --> 00:10:26,256
Sheldon's
freshman orientation.
260
00:10:26,340 --> 00:10:28,258
- Oh, sure.
- Mm-hmm.
261
00:10:28,498 --> 00:10:29,981
You didn't want to go
with him?
262
00:10:30,686 --> 00:10:32,554
I did, but, uh,
263
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,265
he made it very clear
that he did not want me
264
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:36,764
anywhere near him today.
265
00:10:37,077 --> 00:10:39,661
Well, I don't know Sheldon well,
but he can be a little...
266
00:10:39,745 --> 00:10:42,055
Rude, obnoxious,
condescending?
267
00:10:42,139 --> 00:10:44,413
Oh, hey,
I do know him.
268
00:10:45,741 --> 00:10:47,210
So are you just gonna
sit here?
269
00:10:47,295 --> 00:10:50,584
Uh, well, just until it's time
to drive him home.
270
00:10:50,827 --> 00:10:52,326
Well, I can show you
around campus.
271
00:10:52,451 --> 00:10:54,414
- No, no, that's okay.
- Yeah, no.
272
00:10:54,499 --> 00:10:56,678
Come on.
I'll buy you a school shirt.
273
00:10:56,936 --> 00:10:59,671
Oh, he would be
mortified to see me
274
00:10:59,756 --> 00:11:01,046
wearing one of those.
275
00:11:01,131 --> 00:11:03,337
That's why I'm offering.
Let's go.
276
00:11:03,421 --> 00:11:04,904
Well, yeah.
277
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:11,592
Wow, you're really getting
this together fast.
278
00:11:11,685 --> 00:11:14,045
- I feel like I'm nothelping at all.
- Oh, come on now.
279
00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,272
You cut those oranges
into nice little wedges.
280
00:11:16,458 --> 00:11:18,322
I do it for the kids
at Sunday school.
281
00:11:18,407 --> 00:11:20,248
They go to town on 'em.
282
00:11:22,627 --> 00:11:25,695
Did you feel ready
before Georgie was born?
283
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:27,143
Absolutely.
284
00:11:27,227 --> 00:11:28,725
Boy, was I wrong.
285
00:11:29,622 --> 00:11:31,093
Why?
Getting nervous?
286
00:11:31,185 --> 00:11:33,279
Well, if I can't get
a crib built on my own,
287
00:11:33,364 --> 00:11:35,369
how am I gonna be
responsible for a human life?
288
00:11:35,453 --> 00:11:36,892
Ah, you'll figure it out.
289
00:11:36,976 --> 00:11:39,249
And no sense in worrying
about it 'cause you never know
290
00:11:39,334 --> 00:11:41,054
what kind of curve balls
will come your way.
291
00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:42,795
I guess that's true.Mm.
292
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,724
The doctors could tell us
we were having twins,
293
00:11:44,809 --> 00:11:46,945
but they couldn't warn us
we were having a Sheldon.
294
00:11:47,686 --> 00:11:49,359
You don't think I'm gonna...? Oh, no.
295
00:11:49,444 --> 00:11:50,558
They broke the mold.
296
00:11:50,642 --> 00:11:52,125
But...
297
00:11:52,209 --> 00:11:54,040
you could go the other way
and have a Georgie,
298
00:11:54,124 --> 00:11:57,053
so...
some terror is called for.
299
00:12:01,733 --> 00:12:02,898
If you highlight everything,
300
00:12:02,983 --> 00:12:04,572
you highlight nothing.
301
00:12:04,656 --> 00:12:05,878
Uh-oh.
302
00:12:06,217 --> 00:12:07,836
Young man,
don't move these books.
303
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,098
I have a system.
304
00:12:10,264 --> 00:12:12,553
How's it look?
Cute.
305
00:12:12,915 --> 00:12:14,006
Why are you here?
306
00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:15,858
I ran into Sam.
307
00:12:16,363 --> 00:12:17,933
Yes, you're a person
I know.
308
00:12:18,017 --> 00:12:20,718
Hey, aren't you supposed
to be getting your I.D. photo?
309
00:12:20,944 --> 00:12:23,373
- I got a little waylaid.
- Can I help?
310
00:12:23,678 --> 00:12:25,976
No, everything is
perfectly under control.
311
00:12:26,068 --> 00:12:28,561
And take off that sweatshirt.
You don't go to school here!
312
00:12:28,772 --> 00:12:29,913
See?
313
00:12:30,053 --> 00:12:31,120
Worth every penny.
314
00:12:32,576 --> 00:12:34,936
Stay calm.
You can make it.
315
00:12:35,165 --> 00:12:36,383
Aah!
316
00:12:38,494 --> 00:12:41,230
Honestly, who drinks
a Slurpee at 11:00 a.m.?
317
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:44,461
Will this make me look older?
318
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:45,829
Definitely.
319
00:12:45,914 --> 00:12:47,612
But not like you older, right?
320
00:12:48,433 --> 00:12:49,605
Right.
321
00:12:50,004 --> 00:12:52,272
You still dating
that Marcus boy?
322
00:12:52,357 --> 00:12:53,490
Sort of.
323
00:12:53,575 --> 00:12:55,785
He went away with his family
for the summer.
324
00:12:57,228 --> 00:12:59,121
Just out of curiosity,
325
00:12:59,251 --> 00:13:02,035
before he left,
did he let you know?
326
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,065
Mm-hmm.
327
00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:04,934
Hmm, interesting.
328
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,905
And how long before he left
did he tell you?
329
00:13:07,997 --> 00:13:09,219
I don't know,
a week.
330
00:13:09,304 --> 00:13:11,043
Hmm, must be nice.
331
00:13:11,613 --> 00:13:13,092
You hear from him at all?
332
00:13:13,177 --> 00:13:15,269
Yeah, he sent me
the cutest postcard.
333
00:13:15,447 --> 00:13:17,863
It was a turtle
surfing on a dolphin.
334
00:13:18,136 --> 00:13:19,520
Adorable.
335
00:13:19,931 --> 00:13:21,846
Pulling kind of hard.
336
00:13:23,822 --> 00:13:25,426
I made it! I'm here!
337
00:13:25,534 --> 00:13:27,626
Fill this out and sign the...
338
00:13:27,913 --> 00:13:30,473
Um, there's a bee on you.
339
00:13:30,953 --> 00:13:32,041
What?
340
00:13:33,373 --> 00:13:34,682
Hey, Sam.
341
00:13:35,016 --> 00:13:36,355
Can I help y'all find
anything?
342
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,020
Oh, we're good. Just showing
my friend around campus.
343
00:13:39,105 --> 00:13:40,449
Oh, you
a new student?
344
00:13:40,574 --> 00:13:43,453
- Oh, actually...
- Jason, this is Mary.
345
00:13:43,537 --> 00:13:45,199
Ah, well, hello, Mary.
346
00:13:45,284 --> 00:13:47,028
Allow me to welcome you
to our school.
347
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:49,459
- Thank you.
- Uh, you know, my dorm
348
00:13:49,543 --> 00:13:51,318
is doing a back-to-school
barbecue this afternoon.
349
00:13:51,402 --> 00:13:52,762
Y'all should swing by.
350
00:13:52,863 --> 00:13:53,809
Sounds fun.
351
00:13:53,894 --> 00:13:54,941
Cool.
352
00:13:55,077 --> 00:13:57,169
Braden Hall,
in the courtyard, 1:00.
353
00:13:57,315 --> 00:13:58,447
See you there.
354
00:13:59,573 --> 00:14:00,881
Sweet, free food.
355
00:14:01,089 --> 00:14:04,074
Who cares?
He thought I was a student.
356
00:14:07,450 --> 00:14:09,684
Okay. Smile.
357
00:14:09,793 --> 00:14:11,004
Just take the picture.
358
00:14:17,849 --> 00:14:19,934
I had suffered some setbacks.
359
00:14:20,215 --> 00:14:22,669
But just as Edison
had forged ahead
360
00:14:22,754 --> 00:14:25,151
on electric lighting
without the help of Tesla,
361
00:14:25,308 --> 00:14:27,628
I was going to make it
through orientation
362
00:14:27,714 --> 00:14:29,482
without the help of
my mommy,
363
00:14:29,567 --> 00:14:32,288
even if she did make
boo-boos stop hurting.
364
00:14:32,373 --> 00:14:35,935
While I had found inspiration
courtesy of Thomas Edison,
365
00:14:36,020 --> 00:14:40,130
it was soon replaced with
anger at Whitcomb L. Judson,
366
00:14:40,215 --> 00:14:42,021
inventor of the zipper.
367
00:14:42,106 --> 00:14:43,794
Oh, come on.
368
00:14:45,652 --> 00:14:46,879
What do you think?
369
00:14:47,531 --> 00:14:49,971
I think you're gonna be
a little heartbreaker.
370
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:51,599
I don't want
to break anyone's heart.
371
00:14:51,684 --> 00:14:52,930
I just want to look hot.
372
00:14:53,161 --> 00:14:54,541
Well, that you do.
373
00:14:54,625 --> 00:14:55,958
Thank you.
374
00:14:56,043 --> 00:14:59,340
And there's nothing wrong
with breaking some hearts.
375
00:14:59,833 --> 00:15:02,940
If you don't do it to them,
they're gonna do it to you.
376
00:15:03,113 --> 00:15:05,193
- Why would they do that?
- Because sometimes
377
00:15:05,278 --> 00:15:07,728
men do things without thinking
how it's gonna make you feel.
378
00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:10,192
Marcus wouldn't do that.
We're friends.
379
00:15:10,333 --> 00:15:12,080
That don't mean nothing.
380
00:15:12,739 --> 00:15:14,669
You think somebody's
your friend,
381
00:15:14,872 --> 00:15:17,781
then they just up and leave
without a word.
382
00:15:18,013 --> 00:15:19,363
But Marcus told me.
383
00:15:20,504 --> 00:15:22,134
But Marcus told me.
384
00:15:22,218 --> 00:15:23,613
"Batman Theme" playing...
385
00:15:23,697 --> 00:15:25,474
Like Batman's utility belt,
386
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:28,836
my briefcase was equipped
for any emergency.
387
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,864
♪ Batman...
388
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:32,723
I don't know if the Bat-pants
had a zipper,
389
00:15:32,809 --> 00:15:34,801
but if they did,
I could fix it.
390
00:15:34,886 --> 00:15:36,989
♪ Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba...
391
00:15:38,574 --> 00:15:41,864
- Oh, dear.
- ♪ Batman!
392
00:15:42,309 --> 00:15:43,490
Two months!
393
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:45,254
Two months
till this baby comes!
394
00:15:45,339 --> 00:15:47,692
There's so much I thought
I was gonna do in my life.
395
00:15:47,777 --> 00:15:49,173
I'm sure you've
done plenty.
396
00:15:49,258 --> 00:15:50,349
Nothing cool.
397
00:15:50,434 --> 00:15:51,473
Look at you.
398
00:15:51,558 --> 00:15:53,773
You played football
and rode a motorcycle.
399
00:15:53,858 --> 00:15:56,161
Well, you save people's souls.
400
00:15:56,246 --> 00:15:57,391
That's neat, right?
401
00:15:57,476 --> 00:15:59,123
Oh, it's neat as neat can be,
but you know
402
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:00,685
that's not
what I'm talking about.
403
00:16:02,058 --> 00:16:05,584
Look, being a dad doesn't mean
your life is over.
404
00:16:05,669 --> 00:16:07,036
It just means
it's different.
405
00:16:07,465 --> 00:16:09,920
Instead of playing football,
I get to coach it now.
406
00:16:10,004 --> 00:16:11,911
I mean, high school football.
407
00:16:11,996 --> 00:16:14,372
Not college like I'd hoped.
408
00:16:14,521 --> 00:16:18,012
I-Instead of a motorcycle,
I drive a truck.
409
00:16:18,934 --> 00:16:21,122
To work every single day.
410
00:16:21,873 --> 00:16:23,225
To pay the bills.
411
00:16:23,310 --> 00:16:24,692
Oh.
412
00:16:25,312 --> 00:16:26,848
Endless bills.
413
00:16:27,979 --> 00:16:29,981
What happened to my life?
414
00:16:32,012 --> 00:16:33,294
Orange wedge?
415
00:16:35,043 --> 00:16:38,339
With only seven minutes
until my freshman orientation seminar,
416
00:16:38,424 --> 00:16:40,255
I was in a sticky spot.
417
00:16:40,339 --> 00:16:44,300
Thankfully, I was armed
with an even stickier solution.
418
00:16:51,729 --> 00:16:53,299
Ah, you made it!
419
00:16:53,656 --> 00:16:54,950
- Hey.
- Hi.
420
00:16:55,036 --> 00:16:56,942
Hey, guys,
this is Sam and Mary.
421
00:16:59,009 --> 00:17:01,895
Well, aren't y'all friendly.
422
00:17:02,211 --> 00:17:04,608
We are so excited
to have you here today.
423
00:17:04,693 --> 00:17:07,264
This is the most competitive
year we've had for admissions.
424
00:17:07,410 --> 00:17:10,161
So you should feel really good
about your accomplishments.
425
00:17:10,246 --> 00:17:12,766
You belong to an elite group
of scholars...
426
00:17:19,604 --> 00:17:21,340
I may not look it,
but I'm the future of physics,
427
00:17:21,424 --> 00:17:23,026
so just move on.
428
00:17:25,346 --> 00:17:26,800
You have kids?
429
00:17:26,885 --> 00:17:27,885
Three.
430
00:17:27,976 --> 00:17:29,830
You look amazing!
431
00:17:29,963 --> 00:17:32,323
Oh...
Two of 'em are twins.
432
00:17:32,571 --> 00:17:34,947
I don't want to brag,
but natural birth.
433
00:17:35,986 --> 00:17:37,381
Whoa.
434
00:17:37,885 --> 00:17:39,056
I love college.
435
00:17:57,613 --> 00:17:59,136
John.
436
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:09,672
Dear Connie,
you may have heard
437
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:13,855
I've taken a job at the new
supercollider in Waxahachie.
438
00:18:14,151 --> 00:18:17,590
I wanted to tell you
in person, but, uh,
439
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:19,722
I was afraid
you'd be upset.
440
00:18:19,939 --> 00:18:21,902
And, honestly...
441
00:18:22,638 --> 00:18:25,894
I was even more afraid
you wouldn't be.
442
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:27,951
Oh, John.
443
00:18:28,129 --> 00:18:31,694
This also gives me
an excuse to use my astronaut pen.
444
00:18:31,778 --> 00:18:35,207
I'm not upside-down,
but if I was,
445
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,078
it would still write.
446
00:18:41,875 --> 00:18:43,445
How you doing back there?
447
00:18:43,537 --> 00:18:46,107
I've never
felt so alive!
448
00:18:46,192 --> 00:18:49,011
Praise the Lord!
449
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:54,863
Let's go to Mexico!
450
00:18:55,941 --> 00:18:58,101
