Previously, on
"Young Sheldon"...

Mary Cooper...

I want to sex you up.

I have good news.

Good. I could use it.

I got a job
at the bowling alley.

Working with Brenda?

Every day.

I am so sorry
about today.

I just hate to
see you walk away

- from the Lord.
- Feels like

He's walking away from me.

What is that?

Hamburger Helper.

It's official.
We're poor.

We're not poor.

There's hamburger in there.

There's hamburger
in there, right?

I like Hamburger Helper.

It really does help your
hamburger make a great meal.

Well, it's a good thing
you like it,

'cause you're definitely poor.

- Like us.
- We're fine.

Actually...
Just eat.

- Do we still say grace?
- Why not?

Mom's been taking a break
from the church. Mom?

Well, I hadn't really
thought about it.

We can if you want to.

Let's not.

As meaningless as it is,

I do find the ritual comforting.

Well, somebody make a decision.
That slop's getting cold.

No, it's good cold or hot,
like Grape-Nuts.

Ooh, can I say it?

Sure.

Bless us Lord for the food
we are about to receive

and bless the hands
that prepared it.

And let me have a good
hair day for school pictures

later this week.

Let's see, what
else do I want... Wrap it up.

And please let my dad
find a full-time job

before we lose cable. Amen.

Amen.

Season 06 Episode 02

Episode Title: "Future Worf
and the Margarita of the South Pacific"

Aired on:
October 06, 2022.

So...

how's it going
with this whole

no church thing?

It's a little weird,

but I'm figuring it out.

Think you might go back?

I don't know yet.

Maybe find a different church?

I don't know, George.

I'm gonna get a beer.

You, uh,

care to join me

like the good ol' days?

Just 'cause
I'm not going to church

doesn't mean
I'm suddenly a drinker.

Okay. Well, then I guess

me and my friends
will say goodnight.

We need to talk.

About what?

You do their taxes.
How bad off are we?

Based on their part-time income,

we're going to run out of money
by the end of the year.

Before or after Christmas?
Before.

Not what I wanted to hear.

Anything we can do to help?

Perhaps we could sell our stuff.

But I like my stuff.

I like my stuff, too.

Let's keep thinking.

Hello?

Connie. Grant Linkletter.

Hello, Grant.

What can I do for you?

Well, I looked at my calendar
and realized it's been six weeks

since I last asked you out, so

I thought I'd give it
another shot.

You ask me out every six weeks?

Used to be nine, but
we're not getting any younger.

I'll tell you what...

fine.

Really?
Why not?

Excellent.

But I want to be clear,

this is just one of those...
Whatcha call it...

Uh, platonic things.

We're just having dinner.

I'll take it.

Now, would you prefer
a restaurant

or some good home cooking?

I make seven kinds of soup.

I think I'll just stick
with a restaurant.

Fair enough,

but one day,
you'll try my mushroom barley,

and your taste buds will swoon.

Good night, Grant.

The secret is how long
I cook the onions.

Chicken coop, now.

Hi.

What are we doing?

What are you doing?

What, you hired Mary

to work at the
bowling alley.

She needed a job.

I was being nice.

Well, you don't think
it's a little weird?

This right here...

It's all weird.

Are you drunk?

Not nearly enough.

You and Mary working together
is a bad idea considering...

you know,
you and me.

We haven't done
anything, George.

But there was considering.
You know there was.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to fire her?

No, no.
That'd be weird.

Which is exactly
where we started. Good night.

You understand what I'm saying.

Okay, so what are you good at?

I'm popular.

That is not a skill.

You can't do it.
Fine.

Oh, you could go on Jeopardy!

Never. I don't like answers
in the form of questions.

I like my answers in the form
of answers, and my questions

in the form of
questions, thank you.

Ooh, perhaps I could
sell story ideas

to TV shows like Star Trek.

Do you really think
they'd listen to a kid?

My voice has gotten deeper.

The other day,
I answered the phone,

and they didn't
mistake me for Mom.

Star Trek's not gonna
buy your stupid ideas.

We'll see about that.

I have one where the Enterprise

falls into a time tunnel,

and Worf becomes a Worf

from 12 minutes in the future.

We could let people
punch you for a buck.

No, all our profit would just
go to medical expenses.

Hey, Brenda,
I was trying to

do the books for the quarter,
and I was having

a little trouble
making sense of it.

You know, Mary, if...

if it's too big
of a mess, and

you'd rather work
somewhere else, I'd understand.

No, I'll figure it out.

Great.

So happy you're here.

Hey, there.

Oh.

Hi, Mary.

Finally found an eight-pounder
that's not pink.

I didn't know you bowled.

I didn't know you did either.

Actually, I, um,

I work here now.

Oh, sure, okay.

I...

I'm so sorry

about how things

went down at church.

If it helps at all, the place
has gone to heck since you left.

Good.

I sure do miss working with you.

Well, we can still be friends,

even if we don't work together.

I'd like that.

You find a
kiddie ball yet?

It's not about
the weight, just...

I have small fingers.

Oh, uh, Mary,
this is Shannon.

Shannon, this is

- Mary Cooper.
- Hi.

You used to be
Mary Tucker.

Oh, not in a long time.

You remember me?

Sorry, no.

Shannon Dixon.
You used to babysit me.

Is that so?

She was so great.

She would let me stay
up late and watch TV

while she would make out
with her boyfriend.

I don't...
remember any of that.

Oh, I'm not surprised. You used
to hit my dad's liquor cabinet

pretty hard.
Well, Mary Cooper.

I was... young
and hadn't found the Lord.

You two have a great time.

Here's that invoice.

Oh. Great.

I see Pastor Rob's
here again.

Oh, does, uh...

does he come
here often?

Not with that one.

She's new.

Well, good for him.

Single, good-looking pastor.

In a small town like this,

he might as well
be Roger Staubach.

Oh, my God.
The Dallas Cowboys.

Oh, sure, course.

Um... hey,
if you need me,

I'm gonna be in
the office doing...

office things.

What are you doing here?

I ran out of beer at home,

didn't feel like
driving to the store.

Oh, so you just
waltz in and help yourself?

'Bout sums it up.

I'm changing the locks.

Cheers.

So, how's my daughter doing?

Eh, she seems okay.

Still trying to
figure things out.

I got to be honest,
I'm not exactly upset

about less religion
in the house.

I hear you.

Although, Jesus
making her forgive me

has come in handy
more than a few times.

Yeah, I played that card, too.

Then again,
I remember Mary before God

got His mitts on her, and...

...she was pretty wild.

Don't have to tell me.

I was the person
she was wild with.

Oh, she was wild
long before she ever met you.

What do you mean?

Did you think that

you were the first person
she was wild with?

Well... yeah.

And just when the Enterprise
is about to be

assimilated by the Borg,

another ship appears,
piloted by Wesley Crusher.

Uh-huh.
It's surprising because

Wesley Crusher left the show
years ago,

so it's a big deal.

If you say so.

I have more. Commander Data...

I'd like a reservation
for dinner.

Yes, I'll hold.

You want to do this over dinner?
Okay.

I'm taking your grandmother
out tonight.

She didn't mention it to me.

Maybe because
it doesn't concern you.

My meemaw, my professor...

Who's in the middle
of that Venn diagram?

Yes, two people at 8:00.

8:00's a little late for Meemaw.

What time does she like to eat?

Well, she's old like you,
so 6:30 at the latest.

Can we make that 6:30?
Wonderful.

Hold on.
Does she like French food?

I'll call you back.

Anyway, Commander Data...

Let me ask you a question,
if this Commander Data

were taking your meemaw out
for dinner, where would they go?

Almost certainly the holodeck.

Sounds trendy.

Is that in Houston?

Hello.

What's up?

I saw your "help wanted" sign.

I'd like to help, please.

How old are you?

How old do I need to be?

14.

Do I not look 14?

- I don't care.
- Perfect.

So, when do I start?

All right, hold on, do
you even like comic books?

Yeah.

What's your favorite?

Um...

And the cool thing
about the X-Men is not just

that they have superpowers,
but they act

as a metaphor for outsiders...

...outsiders trying to find
their place in society.

Who's your favorite?

All of them.

Mine, too.

And I got the job.

You can't work
at the comic book store.

If anyone should work
at the comic book store,

- it should be me.
- Sorry, we're not hiring.

Do I at least get a discount?

I do.

Oh, hey, hi.

Oh... You okay?

Not really.

It's been a...
rough couple of days.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Makes you feel better,

I've had a pretty good
couple of days,

and I'm still gonna get drunk.

Want to join me?

Yes.

That would be nice.

More sad than nice,

- but let's go.
- Okay.

So... this is unexpected.

Well, I know you
like margaritas,

so my first thought was
a Mexican restaurant.

Good thought.

But I assumed
other men had come

to that same conclusion.

- They have.
- Which led me to Polynesian fare.

I like to think
of the Mai Tai

as the margarita
of the South Pacific.

You don't do anything
on a whim, do you?

Did once,
didn't like it.

I have an idea
for a Star Trek episode

I'd like to present to you.

Why me?

Because I'm hoping to sell it,

and since it's going to be
broadcast television,

I want to make sure the
common man can understand it.

Well, I understand
I was just insulted.

Excellent, I came
to the right common man.

We start on

a gas giant in the vicinity
of Rigel IV,

then see a shuttle craft,

a dot of silver against
the inky blackness of space.

Inside the shuttle craft,

we see Lieutenant Worf
struggling to breathe.

He's been infected by
a vicious intelligent fungus.

Where are you going?
I'm listening.

Cough, cough.

Worf is choking on spores,

but not just your
everyday spores,

these are spores with their own

- evil agenda.
- Uh-huh.

And, as he sinks
into a coma, a mysterious figure

in a spacesuit approaches.

He lowers the visor
of his helmet revealing...

Future Worf.
Are you hooked?

Oh, yeah.

Main titles.

Cue theme song and
the soothing voice

of Patrick Stewart
as Captain Picard says...

"Space..."

"...the final frontier."

Who's Patrick Stewart?

Feeling better?
I'm fine,

just having
a little moment earlier.

Oh, yeah.

All right.

Mm.

Mmm.

Seems like running into
Pastor Rob kind of...

kind of rattled you
a little bit.

Oh, well...

I was asked to leave the church,

and he's still there, so...

- it's still a little fresh.
- Mm.

Yeah, I get that.

- Seems like a nice guy, though.
- Oh, yeah,

he's great.

Cute as a button.

I guess.

I prefer a bigger man.

Like George?

Oh, yeah.
Bigger the better.

Deep within the Enterprise's
control room,

Future Worf says,

"I willingly sacrifice myself

for the good of this mission,"

then throws himself
into the warp core.

There's an explosion
of tachyons.

The Enterprise blasts free
of the gigantic field of fungus.

Fade out.

Written by Sheldon Lee Cooper.

What do you think?

If this Worf fella
was infected on the shuttles,

why would he come back
to the Enterprise

and put everyone else in danger?

Well...

My father found a flaw in my story,

my sister had a job I envied.

It was a big day
for the common man.

But then I had an idea that,

like Future Worf,
was ahead of its time.

- Missy.
- What?

Why is a dollar
worth a dollar?

Sheldon, I'm busy.

Me too. I've solved
all of our money problems.

I'm going to invent
my own digital currency.

Like, printing your own?

No. First, we assign value
to difficult-to-find numbers

and store them
in a computer database.

Then we create an algorithm
to mine the numbers,

then we encourage people
to switch from currencies

that are government-backed
to ours.

It's brilliant.
I'm going to be rich.

Speaking of,

did you know Batman
is also secretly a rich dude?

Or he lives in
a rich dude's basement.

I'm still figuring it out.

Oh, thank you,
tiki woman.

So...

what's going on at work?

I don't want to bore you
with science talk.

No, no, I'm interested.

Excellent. We're in a race
with the Finnish team to see

who can correct the
unification of the leptons.

As you can imagine,
the world waits anxiously

while we see who crosses
the finish line first.

So, the Finnish
may be at the finish line?

Oh, you're witty, too.

More cheese to bait the trap.

Maybe we should order dinner.

Nonsense,
there's food right here.

Pineapple,

prickly on the outside,

but beautiful inside,

just like you.

And you know that
Shannon girl...

With Pastor Rob?

She was a bedwetter.

Ten years old.

That's not normal.

Maybe he'll get
a fun little surprise

on their honeymoon.

Oh, no, they're not
getting married.

Well, how do you know?

I don't.

I just think he
could do better.

Mary Cooper.

Are you sweet on him?

No! What?

I am a married woman.

Happily.

Well, I was married once, too,
didn't stop me from looking.

Well, I'm not looking.

Where you going?

To dance.

I didn't think
you Baptists did that.

We don't drink, neither.

Ooh!

Look at me. Ooh!
Wow.

I'm pretty good.

Are you familiar
with the phrase,

- "You need money to make money"?
- No.

Well, it's a phrase,
and my clever twist on it is,

"I'm going to make money
to make money."

Mm-hmm.

Now, when I say "make money,"
you might think that

I'm talking about
counterfeiting, but no,

I'm talking about creating
a unique decentralized

digital currency
that people can pay to own.

Sounds like a scam.

No, it's an
open-source currency

that has value
due to mathematical scarcity.

Sounds pretty scammy.

You don't understand.

I do.

You say a bunch
of fancy jibber-jabber,

people don't want to admit
they're too stupid to understand,

then they give you their money.

Well... um... sort of.

Love it.
How do we get started?

Well, all we need
is a mainframe computer.

How much is that? New,
about half a million dollars,

but I'm hoping to find
something slightly used.

Time will prove me right.

You're not gonna
believe this,

but I don't go on
a lot of dates.

No.

It's true.

Sure, I did okay as
a younger man, but

there was a war on and

most of the able-bodied
men were elsewhere.

So, you sowed some oats,
I get it.

A whole field of them.

I was the Johnny
Appleseed of oats.

Okay.

But here's the thing.

Once you put off matrimony
past a certain point,

women start to think of you
as... What's the word?

- Creepy?
- There it is.

And then along comes you,

my little
Texas firecracker,

playing the
game of life

by her own set of rules.

I'm a firecracker,
I'm a pineapple...

Good for me.

Can I ask you
a personal question?

Oh, I wish you wouldn't.

How would you like
to make love to a man

who shook the hand
of Albert Einstein?

And... you did.

This one right here.

I didn't wash it for a week.

Not a selling point.

Excuse me for a moment.

I have to toss my cookies.

Hey.

Where you been?

Brenda and I
went dancing.

You went dancing?

Yeah, and I'm
darn good at it.

Okay.

- The kids asleep?
- Yep.

You want to fool around?

Are you messing with me?

I'm hoping to.

Well, hot diggity dog.

Welcome to King Kong Comics.
I'm Missy.

If you have any questions,
please let me know.

I don't have
any questions.

I know more about
comic books than you do.

Okay. What you
may not know is the new

Green Lantern just came in.

Also, if you like green things,
I recommend Green Arrow,

and, of course, the Hulk.
His skin is green.

I know that.
Everyone knows that.

Uh-oh, are you gonna
smash things?

That's something the Hulk does
when he gets upset.

I'm not upset.

Cool.
If you need something,

I'll be at the front counter.
Where I work.
