Previously on
Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:03,612 --> 00:00:05,005
Did we talk about going home
from the bar together? Sure.
3
00:00:05,048 --> 00:00:06,093
But nothing actually happened.
4
00:00:06,136 --> 00:00:08,008
Kind of feels like it.
5
00:00:08,051 --> 00:00:09,835
It does feel like it.
6
00:00:09,879 --> 00:00:11,489
Why does it feel like it?
7
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:13,491
Hi, Mary.
Hey, John.
8
00:00:13,535 --> 00:00:15,058
What are you doing here?
9
00:00:15,102 --> 00:00:16,494
Well, I lost my job,
10
00:00:16,538 --> 00:00:20,020
so, while I'm figuring things
out, I'm a bag boy.
11
00:00:20,063 --> 00:00:23,023
Aren't you
a little overqualified?
12
00:00:23,066 --> 00:00:24,024
[whispers]:
Very.
13
00:00:24,067 --> 00:00:25,634
You've got a PhD.
14
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,288
You're the smartest person here.
15
00:00:27,331 --> 00:00:27,984
Well...
16
00:00:32,075 --> 00:00:33,294
ADULT SHELDON:
In physics,
17
00:00:33,337 --> 00:00:36,384
potential energy is
a fascinating topic.
18
00:00:36,427 --> 00:00:40,083
Objects like springs store
energy when they're coiled,
19
00:00:40,127 --> 00:00:42,129
waiting to unleash
their full potential
20
00:00:42,172 --> 00:00:44,174
and soar to the heavens.
21
00:00:45,175 --> 00:00:47,873
Would you look at me go!
22
00:00:48,874 --> 00:00:52,356
Even in toy form,
I'm shooting for the stars.
23
00:00:53,357 --> 00:00:55,881
While the potential energy
of an object
24
00:00:55,925 --> 00:00:57,144
can be measured in absolutes,
25
00:00:57,187 --> 00:00:59,885
human potential
remains more elusive.
26
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:05,891
Sometimes, people seem to have
all the potential in the world,
27
00:01:05,935 --> 00:01:08,894
but for some reason
stay stuck to the ground.
28
00:01:10,766 --> 00:01:12,724
But why are you wasting
your time here
29
00:01:12,768 --> 00:01:14,204
when you could be
doing science?
30
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:17,077
I told you, I'm happy here.
31
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,079
How could you be happy?
32
00:01:19,122 --> 00:01:20,906
You have a doctorate in physics,
and you're sticking labels
33
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:22,169
to a case of beans.
34
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:23,561
I had to work here
a month
35
00:01:23,605 --> 00:01:25,563
before they let me use
this thing.
36
00:01:25,607 --> 00:01:29,480
And yet, I could go buy
a real gun on my lunch break.
37
00:01:29,524 --> 00:01:31,917
Ha! Texas, huh?
38
00:01:31,961 --> 00:01:34,224
But don't you miss
trying to unlock
39
00:01:34,268 --> 00:01:36,139
the secrets of the universe?
40
00:01:36,183 --> 00:01:39,142
Sheldon, I spent my life
chasing theoreticals.
41
00:01:39,186 --> 00:01:42,537
Here, I have
tangible accomplishments
42
00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:46,062
and I get to listen to relaxing
Top 40 music.
43
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:48,630
Do you know this band,
Air Supply?
44
00:01:48,673 --> 00:01:51,111

What kind of things
you and Darlene do when,
56
00:02:23,317 --> 00:02:26,146
you know, you go out on a date?Oh.
57
00:02:26,189 --> 00:02:27,277
All kinds of stuff.
58
00:02:27,321 --> 00:02:28,322
But it doesn't matter
what we do
59
00:02:28,365 --> 00:02:30,106
as long as we're together.
60
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,499
Looking for a thing to do here.
61
00:02:31,542 --> 00:02:32,978
All right.
62
00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:35,329
Nice to see you're thinking
about your wife.
63
00:02:35,372 --> 00:02:37,026
I'm trying.
64
00:02:37,069 --> 00:02:39,246
Darlene and I love
to go line dancing.
65
00:02:39,289 --> 00:02:41,117
Next.Let's see.
66
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,163
There's the Roundabout.
67
00:02:43,206 --> 00:02:44,468
What's that?
68
00:02:44,512 --> 00:02:45,556
It's a roller rink.
69
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,168
They have cool lights and a DJ.
70
00:02:48,211 --> 00:02:49,473
It's like a disco.
71
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:51,214
So, when I said no
to line dancing,
72
00:02:51,258 --> 00:02:53,042
you thought,
"Let's put George on wheels."
73
00:02:53,085 --> 00:02:54,043
Ooh.
74
00:02:54,086 --> 00:02:55,044
Take her bowling.

00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,571
I don't want to take her
bowling.
Fine.
78
00:03:00,615 --> 00:03:02,225
But it doesn't matter
where you go.
79
00:03:02,269 --> 00:03:03,531
She's just gonna be happy
you're trying.
80
00:03:03,574 --> 00:03:05,663
I hope so.
81
00:03:05,707 --> 00:03:08,188
It's nice to see I'm
finally rubbing off on you.
82
00:03:08,231 --> 00:03:10,277
I am capable of being
a decent husband.
83
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,669
Oh, of course you are.
84
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:13,497
[chuckles]:
Don't patronize me.
85
00:03:13,541 --> 00:03:16,892
I could stop, but then
what will we have left?

DALE: Well, we don't carry
hockey skates.
87
00:03:20,678 --> 00:03:22,550
Uh, heck, I know of
a place up north
88
00:03:22,593 --> 00:03:23,768
where you can find them.
89
00:03:23,812 --> 00:03:25,901
It's called Canada.

and I think of a woman

00:03:37,347 --> 00:03:38,609
who took half my stuff.
96
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:41,525
That's my problem.Mind if I change?
97
00:03:41,569 --> 00:03:43,440
Yeah, please, go right ahead.
98
00:03:43,484 --> 00:03:45,747
Why else would I have
a private bathroom?
99
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:47,444
Thanks.

Did you like school?
Hated it.
102
00:03:51,622 --> 00:03:53,929
I quit and I joined the Army.
103
00:03:53,972 --> 00:03:55,713
How was that?

Less girls,

Well, then I gotmarried.
107
00:04:02,546 --> 00:04:04,592
Made me kind of
miss getting shot at.
108
00:04:04,635 --> 00:04:06,507
Have you ever been happy?

00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:08,596
Ooh, let's see.
110
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:09,945
No.
111
00:04:11,642 --> 00:04:13,775
Could you not do that

Why are you in my car?
116
00:04:26,527 --> 00:04:27,963
Well, I was waiting outside,
117
00:04:28,006 --> 00:04:29,921
but then an angry squirrel
forced me to seek shelter.
118
00:04:29,965 --> 00:04:31,662
What do you want?
119
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:33,447
I need you to talk
to Dr. Sturgis.
120
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:35,753
He's wasting his time
working in a grocery store.
121
00:04:35,797 --> 00:04:37,799
Oh, then the rumor is true?Yes.
122
00:04:37,842 --> 00:04:40,410
Good, I spread it heavily
at the faculty mixer.
123
00:04:40,454 --> 00:04:42,630
Well, please.
124
00:04:42,673 --> 00:04:43,979
He won't listen to me.
125
00:04:44,022 --> 00:04:45,937
I'm hoping you can talk
some sense into him.
126
00:04:45,981 --> 00:04:47,765
Sheldon, he's a grown man.
127
00:04:47,809 --> 00:04:49,811
Perhaps in a little apron
with a nametag--
128
00:04:49,854 --> 00:04:50,942
is how I'm picturing it.
129
00:04:50,986 --> 00:04:52,944
That's exactly right.Excellent.
130
00:04:52,988 --> 00:04:54,598
So, will you talk to him?
131
00:04:54,642 --> 00:04:56,296
Look, if he doesn't want to
come back,
132
00:04:56,339 --> 00:04:57,645
I certainly can't force him.
133
00:04:57,688 --> 00:04:59,647
But he's wasting his potential.
134
00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:01,649
[sighs]
135
00:05:01,692 --> 00:05:03,520
I'm just curious,
if he were to come back,
136
00:05:03,564 --> 00:05:04,956
would you spend
more time with him,
137
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,697
and therefore less time with me?
138
00:05:06,741 --> 00:05:08,308
I suppose so. Why?
139
00:05:08,351 --> 00:05:09,831
No reason. Get out.

Hello, Grant.
What brings you here?
142
00:05:18,405 --> 00:05:20,624
Well, I'm here to convince you
to come back to the university.
143
00:05:20,668 --> 00:05:22,322
A mind like yours
needs to be working

on the advancement of science.
145
00:05:23,627 --> 00:05:25,977
Well, I did that for 50 years.
146
00:05:26,021 --> 00:05:29,981
Now I'm content just keeping
these cucumbers crunchy.
147
00:05:30,025 --> 00:05:31,983
But exciting new things
are happening in string theory.
148
00:05:32,027 --> 00:05:33,681
Don't you want to be
a part of that?

that your life's work is just
one big dead end?
152
00:05:44,474 --> 00:05:46,824
Sure, some paths of research
may not pan out,
153
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,739
but we still have to try, right?
154

Do we?
155
00:05:50,437 --> 00:05:52,569
Of course.I don't know.
156
00:05:52,613 --> 00:05:55,485
Einstein spent
the last 30 years of his life
157
00:05:55,529 --> 00:05:58,706
on the grand unified field
theory and got nowhere.
158
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:01,665
Well, I wouldn't say nowhere,
159
00:06:01,709 --> 00:06:04,494
but I suppose
he never did crack it.

And to this day, no one has.

00:06:06,061 --> 00:06:08,455
True.In fact,

00:06:08,498 --> 00:06:10,413

accomplishments occurred

164
00:06:11,762 --> 00:06:14,635
which you and I
most certainly are not.

and I think, "Who is that?"

Actually, I wanted to see you
yesterday,

00:06:34,524 --> 00:06:36,744
but you weren't in school.
173
00:06:36,787 --> 00:06:38,702
You noticed that, huh?
174
00:06:38,746 --> 00:06:40,748
I've noticed it a lot lately.

00:06:40,791 --> 00:06:42,402
Level with me, son.
176
00:06:42,445 --> 00:06:45,405
Is it drinking? Drugs?

a pamphlet for that.

00:06:54,936 --> 00:06:57,634
You will at some point,
just take it.
181
00:06:57,678 --> 00:06:59,941
My boss has been letting me
pick up some extra hours.
182
00:06:59,984 --> 00:07:02,422
You just can't ditch school.
183
00:07:02,465 --> 00:07:04,424
It's not like I'm going
to college.
184
00:07:04,467 --> 00:07:06,426
Son, a diploma's important.
185
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:07,731
Why?
186
00:07:07,775 --> 00:07:09,472
At least at work I'm getting
actual experience
187
00:07:09,516 --> 00:07:10,647
and making money.
188
00:07:10,691 --> 00:07:12,867
Well, you saying
you're gonna drop out?
189
00:07:14,564 --> 00:07:16,131
I guess I am.
190
00:07:16,174 --> 00:07:17,828
Does your father know
about this?
191
00:07:17,872 --> 00:07:18,960
No.
192
00:07:19,003 --> 00:07:20,657
Don't you think you
should tell him?
193
00:07:20,701 --> 00:07:21,919
I don't really want to.
194
00:07:21,963 --> 00:07:24,922
Well, if you don't tell him,
I'm going to.
195
00:07:24,966 --> 00:07:26,446
That'd be great.
196
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:27,708
You're the best.
197
00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:33,583
You never know.
198
00:07:41,069 --> 00:07:41,809
Come on, Mom,
don't you wish you were
199
00:07:41,852 --> 00:07:42,984
watching television, too?
200
00:07:43,027 --> 00:07:43,593
JANET [on TV]:
Clarissa Marie Darling...
201
00:07:43,637 --> 00:07:45,116
You look nice.
202
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,467
Oh, no,
are we going to church?
203
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:49,947
No, your father and I
have a date night.
204
00:07:49,991 --> 00:07:52,297
Why?
Don't you have enough kids?
205
00:07:52,341 --> 00:07:54,169
That is not what
date night means.
206
00:07:54,212 --> 00:07:55,170
[door closes]
207
00:07:55,213 --> 00:07:56,171
Georgie here?
208
00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:57,302
He's in his room.
209
00:07:57,346 --> 00:07:58,913
What's going on?
210
00:07:58,956 --> 00:08:02,917
George?Oh, good, more drama.
211
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,485
What the hell is wrong
with you?
212
00:08:05,528 --> 00:08:07,182
MARY:
What is going on?
213
00:08:07,225 --> 00:08:08,575
He's dropping
out of school.
214
00:08:08,618 --> 00:08:10,577
What?!
Oh, no, you're not.
215
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:12,100
It's not a big deal.
216
00:08:12,143 --> 00:08:13,493
You better believe
it's a big deal.
217
00:08:13,536 --> 00:08:15,756
You are finishing high school,
end of discussion.
218
00:08:15,799 --> 00:08:17,018
It's my life.
219
00:08:17,061 --> 00:08:18,541
It's my house.
220
00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:20,369
If you're don't go to school,
you can't live here.
221
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:22,763
Hold on, we are not
kicking him out.
222
00:08:22,806 --> 00:08:23,851
The hell we're not!
223
00:08:23,894 --> 00:08:25,679
I'll pack right now.
224
00:08:25,722 --> 00:08:27,594
Stop, you don't have to go.
225
00:08:27,637 --> 00:08:30,379
Yes, he does.
My house, my rules.
226
00:08:30,422 --> 00:08:31,815
It is my house, too.
227
00:08:31,859 --> 00:08:34,078
Oh, really?Yes, really.
228
00:08:34,122 --> 00:08:35,079
[knocking]
229
00:08:36,124 --> 00:08:37,517
Is Dale here?
230
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:38,909
Yeah, what's up?
231
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:40,781
I would like to have
a word with him.
232
00:08:40,824 --> 00:08:43,697
Better him than me.
Have at it.
233
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:46,395
Dale, Mary
coming in hot!
234
00:08:46,438 --> 00:08:49,529
Did you tell Georgie
to drop out of school?
235
00:08:49,572 --> 00:08:51,618
What? No.
236
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:54,708
Well, he did, and you had
something to do with it.
237
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:56,884
Well, no, he was just
complaining about school
238
00:08:56,927 --> 00:08:58,581
and I told him I dropped out.
239
00:08:58,625 --> 00:08:59,669
Dale,
240
00:08:59,713 --> 00:09:01,453
you know that
he looks up to you.
241
00:09:01,497 --> 00:09:02,629
He does, doesn't he?
242
00:09:02,672 --> 00:09:03,804
Which is why
you need to tell him
243
00:09:03,847 --> 00:09:06,067
that he is making a big mistake.
244
00:09:06,110 --> 00:09:08,417
Oh, I don't think I can do that.
245
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:09,418
Why not?
246
00:09:09,461 --> 00:09:11,638
Well, I don't believe he is.
247
00:09:11,681 --> 00:09:14,075
How could you say that?
248
00:09:14,118 --> 00:09:16,077
I did it,
worked out fine.
249
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,775
Will you back me up here,
please?
250
00:09:18,819 --> 00:09:20,951
I agree with him.
251
00:09:20,995 --> 00:09:22,431
You do?
252
00:09:22,474 --> 00:09:23,563
You do?
253
00:09:23,606 --> 00:09:24,825
Yeah.
254
00:09:24,868 --> 00:09:26,435
Yeah.
255
00:09:26,478 --> 00:09:27,828
MEEMAW:
The kid's a natural salesman.
256
00:09:27,871 --> 00:09:31,092
I mean, school's not gonna help
with that.
257
00:09:31,135 --> 00:09:34,138
So, you are fine with your
grandson throwing his life away
258
00:09:34,182 --> 00:09:38,490
so that he can sell fishing rods
and baseball bats?
259
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:40,536
Excuse me,
those fishing rods provided
260
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,582
a nice life for me
and my family.
261
00:09:42,625 --> 00:09:43,887
What family?
262
00:09:43,931 --> 00:09:46,107
You're divorced,
and your kids don't talk to you.
263
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:48,109
Help me out here.
264
00:09:48,152 --> 00:09:51,678
A diploma would not
have made his life better.
265
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:54,028
Thank you. What she said.
266
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:56,857
GEORGE SR.:
She really took his side?
267
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,685
I don't want to
talk about that.
268
00:09:58,728 --> 00:09:59,990
I thought you two
had date night.
269
00:10:00,034 --> 00:10:01,601
I don't want to talk about that,
either.
270
00:10:01,644 --> 00:10:03,124
Why isn't Georgie eating
with us?
271
00:10:03,167 --> 00:10:04,995
Let's talk about anything else.
272
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,694
Ooh. Perhaps this is a good time
for a physics joke.
273
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:09,130
It isn't.
274
00:10:09,173 --> 00:10:10,958
That's the cool thing
about physics, time is relative.
275
00:10:11,001 --> 00:10:12,655
Okay, here we go.
276
00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:15,832
Why was the pirate worried that
his shoes were less than "H"?
277
00:10:17,529 --> 00:10:19,619
Because he had to walk
the Planck.
278
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:22,970
Get it?
Because Max Planck is
279
00:10:23,013 --> 00:10:24,841
a famous physicist
who discovered a constant
280
00:10:24,885 --> 00:10:26,669
which is represented by "H."
And then he...
281
00:10:26,713 --> 00:10:28,976
If Georgie's kicked out,
can I have his room?
282
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:30,499
We are not kicking Georgie out.
283
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:31,935
You want to start this up again?
284
00:10:31,979 --> 00:10:33,720
Or can we just be mad
at your mom and Dale?
285
00:10:33,763 --> 00:10:35,678
And Georgie.
Thank you.
And Georgie.
286
00:10:35,722 --> 00:10:36,679
Let's just eat.
287
00:10:39,726 --> 00:10:41,989
So can anyone drop out or do
you need to be a certain age?
288
00:10:42,032 --> 00:10:43,730
You are not dropping
out of school.
289
00:10:43,773 --> 00:10:46,515
Until you're 16-- then
they legally can't stop you.
290
00:10:46,558 --> 00:10:47,516
Good to know.
291
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,517
This is exactly
292
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:49,736
what I was afraid of.
293
00:10:49,779 --> 00:10:51,259
What do you want me
to do about it?
294
00:10:51,302 --> 00:10:53,696
I would encourage you to love
and nurture the one child
295
00:10:53,740 --> 00:10:56,003
you have
who's destined for success.
296
00:10:56,046 --> 00:10:58,048
[knocking]
297
00:11:00,703 --> 00:11:03,532
Dale, it's for you!
298
00:11:03,575 --> 00:11:04,576
What are you thinking?!
299
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:05,969
I'm thinking I should've
went home
300
00:11:06,013 --> 00:11:07,188
after your wife left.
301
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:09,190
Georgie's only got
one more year of school,
302
00:11:09,233 --> 00:11:10,713
and then he can do
whatever he wants.
303
00:11:10,757 --> 00:11:13,194
I don't want to come
between you and your family.
304
00:11:13,237 --> 00:11:14,674
Too late.
305
00:11:14,717 --> 00:11:16,545
Listen, I know
you're upset,
306
00:11:16,588 --> 00:11:18,547
but the person you
ought to be yelling at
307
00:11:18,590 --> 00:11:20,549
is Georgie, not us.
308
00:11:20,592 --> 00:11:22,029
I yelled at him--
it didn't help!
309
00:11:22,072 --> 00:11:23,117
Is this helping?
310
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,597
A little, yes.
311
00:11:25,641 --> 00:11:27,077
So I'm datin' a dropout?
312
00:11:27,121 --> 00:11:29,732
No, you're datin' a guy
with a full-time job.
313
00:11:29,776 --> 00:11:31,778
And your parents are
okay with this?
314
00:11:31,821 --> 00:11:33,823
They'll come around.
315
00:11:34,824 --> 00:11:36,696
By the way, can I
crash at your place?
316
00:11:36,739 --> 00:11:38,262
No!
317
00:11:38,306 --> 00:11:40,047
My father already doesn't think
you're good enough for me.
318
00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:41,788
And I don't want him
to know he's right.
319
00:11:41,831 --> 00:11:43,050
He's not right!
320
00:11:43,093 --> 00:11:44,921
He might be a little right.
321
00:11:44,965 --> 00:11:47,707
I thought you'd be
more supportive.
322
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:49,752
And I thought we were
gonna be seniors together.
323
00:11:49,796 --> 00:11:51,972
Homecoming court,
prom king and queen.
324
00:11:52,015 --> 00:11:54,583
Voted most likely
to stay together forever.
325
00:11:54,626 --> 00:11:55,932
We can still
stay together.
326
00:11:55,976 --> 00:11:58,108
They can't vote for you
if you're not a senior!
327
00:12:01,416 --> 00:12:03,592
I don't think
this is gonna work out.
328
00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:05,637
You're breakin'
up with me?
329
00:12:05,681 --> 00:12:08,075
Yeah.
You're serious?
330
00:12:08,118 --> 00:12:10,033
I feel like I don't have
a choice.
331
00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:14,603
Fine, as a workin' man
I shouldn't be
332
00:12:14,646 --> 00:12:17,127
dating a girl in high school
anyway-- it's immature.
333
00:12:18,259 --> 00:12:19,826
Just take me home.
334
00:12:19,869 --> 00:12:21,262
'Cause it's a school night?
335
00:12:21,305 --> 00:12:23,307
How cute.
336
00:12:28,791 --> 00:12:30,097
Take me back.
No.
337
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:31,794
Dang it. [phone ringing]
338
00:12:31,838 --> 00:12:33,796
This is Grant Linkletter.
339
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,842
I'm not home,
please leave a message.
340
00:12:35,885 --> 00:12:37,147
[machine beeps]
341
00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:39,019
SHELDON:
Dr. Linkletter, Sheldon Cooper.
342
00:12:39,062 --> 00:12:40,672
I haven't heard back from you.
343
00:12:40,716 --> 00:12:42,631
I hope everything went well
with Dr. Sturgis.
344
00:12:42,674 --> 00:12:45,286
Perhaps you two got caught up
discussing physics.
345
00:12:45,329 --> 00:12:47,897
Time does fly
when you're having fun.
346
00:12:47,941 --> 00:12:49,943
So what does it
all mean, John?
347
00:12:49,986 --> 00:12:52,119
Maybe you should
ask someone
348
00:12:52,162 --> 00:12:54,686
who isn't drinking
on a park bench.
349
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:55,992
[both laugh]
350
00:12:56,036 --> 00:12:57,341
You work
your whole life.
351
00:12:57,385 --> 00:12:59,909
It all seems so important
at the time, but is it?
352
00:12:59,953 --> 00:13:01,998
That's a good question.
353
00:13:02,042 --> 00:13:04,958
It puts me in mind
of, uh, Camus'
354
00:13:05,001 --> 00:13:07,787
The Myth of Siphisus...
355
00:13:07,830 --> 00:13:09,789
