All language subtitles for Young Sheldon s03e01 Quirky Eggheads

Some people are just natural -born
worriers.

My mother, for example, could whip
herself into a frenzy even if I were

on my bed doing nothing.

Shelly?

Shelly?

Everything okay?

Hunky -dory. Why?

Well, you're kind of dressed like you
kidnapped yourself.

Oh, I'm trying to block out sensory
input. I had a roadblock determining

virtual particles have a fixed mass or
violate momentum conservation.

But then I remembered that Nikola Tesla
believed that isolation is where ideas

are born.

Who's Nikola Tesla?

One of the most prolific scientists of
the 20th century.

Okay.

And, um, just out of curiosity, how...

Isolated, was he? Oh, highly.

He found human contact revolting.

Well, that's kind of a lonely way to
live, don't you think?

Well, he wasn't entirely alone. At the
end of his life, he became good friends

with a brown pigeon.

Great.

See ya.

Have you heard from Dr. Sturgis at all?

Nope. Can you believe the hospital is
still holding him for observation?

Can't you?

Well... I think I just felled a
neutrino. That one went right through my

You have goose grass.

And you can't have a nice lawn if you
have goose grass.

I mean, I'm worried about him. I don't
know how serious this is.

The whole year you were together, did
you see any, um, warning signs?

No, not really.

I just thought he was another, you know,
cute.

Quirky egghead like Sheldon.

Being a witch, when are you going to
tell Sheldon the truth about John?

When the time is right.

So we still think he's being treated for
mono? I had to come up with something

contagious so he wouldn't want to visit.

Smart. Thank you.

You're good at lying.

You should do it more often.

I like your earrings.

All right, see?

When you get tackled in your own end
zone, the other team gets two points and

the ball. That's called a safety.

I thought one of the players was a
safety.

Well, that's true, too.

I'm confused.

Now you know how I feel when you talk
about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

What's confusing?

Everything you need to know is in the
title.

Ben, how would you like to be rich?

Go away.

Aren't you even a little curious?

Does it involve me giving you money?

Yeah, but then I give you more money
back.

How much more?

Way more.

You gotta get in on that.

Thanks, I'm not interested.

You're gonna regret it.

Show me.

Texas snow globes.

Ooh.

The card store on Magnolia is going out
of business.

They're selling these for one dollar
each.

I sell them for five, and the money
rolls in.

Does it worry you that the store selling
these things is going out of business?

You have no vision. Can I get back to
the game?

Fine. I don't need your money. I have my
own. Why are we having this

conversation? Because I'd rather lose
your money than mine.

See?

Vision.

I've always felt the world of subatomic
particles would make an excellent video

game. Fortunately, thanks to my brain,
I've been playing it for years.

You cheeky little muon. You know you
don't belong there.

Don't look at me. Your kid.

I like snow globes.

I hope so. I don't want them.

Okay.

What have we got here?

Farmhouse kitchen.

Garfield hang belt.

The complete guide to your child's
mental... Oh, look, that cute little

light. I'll get that, too.

Okay.

You still want the crazy kid book,
right?

Yeah.

$52.

Check the snow globe.

$55 .25.

Can't you do any better?

What do you mean?

You're going out of business and I'm
buying them all. Give me a break.

Okay, $50.

$30, $40, $35. Deal. No wait, $32.

Thirty -three.

Thirty -five.

George. Oh, yeah, that's clever.

I'm reading this book about mental
problems, and I'm worried it sounds like

Shelton. Stop reading the book.

Shelly and Dr. Sturges have a lot in
common, and look what happened.

What, you mean like how he went to...

As a society, we've made strides in how
we discuss psychological issues.

30 years ago in East Texas, let's just
say we hadn't.

Hey,

that could be your son one day.

Honey, just because they're both super
smart doesn't mean that they're the same

person. I mean, Sergius was in love with
your mom, so clearly he was nuts from

the get -go. You're not helping.

I'm not wrong either. Love you.

She's also driving Missy to school.

I thought it might be nice for us to
chat.

About Missy? She is a bit much, isn't
she?

Here's a question for you.

Do you ever see or hear things that
other people can't? Oh, all the time.

Right now, the car antenna is vibrating
at the same frequency as the pistons in

the motor.

It's quite irritating, but you know me.
I don't complain.

I meant more like things that aren't
actually there.

Ah, isn't that the fundamental question
of modern metaphysics?

What is actually there?

This is fun.

Missy should ride with Dad more often.

Let me try this a different way. Um, do
you ever feel paranoid, like people are

out to get you?

I'm a ten -year -old in high school.
People are out to get me.

That's fair.

I just think if I was having these
feelings, that might be scary, right?

I suppose so.

And this is something that's been
concerning you?

Maybe.

Lately.

A little. But the important thing is
that we can always talk about this kind

thing with each other.

Do you have any books on mental health?

Sure. Why?

I believe my mother's unraveling.

on mental illness you might find
helpful.

This one's a good place to start.

Have you read it? Read it.

Lived it. Made the mistake of talking
about it on a date.

Sure. Walk away.

They all do.

Georgia Cooper.

Who? I'm your neighbor.

The one with the chickens?

No. The ones with that weird smart kid.

Yeah, that's my brother.

I don't like that kid.

Neither do I, sir.

What do you want? I was wondering if
you'd like to buy one of the... You

even see what I was selling.

What?

Texas snow globe.

Dang it.

See?

It's pretty.

Why would I want that?

Well, um, because it's Texas.

And everybody in Texas loves Texas.

Dang it.

And if you act now, you can have this
beautiful limited edition keepsack in

home for the low, low price of only $5.

I hope you know I'm missing people's
court right now.

But with Christmas coming, this will
make an excellent stocking stuffer.

you're my grandson, and I love you.

So it hurts me to do this.

Dang it.

Oh.

Oh, dear.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, dear.

I gave you the boot before.

Does that mean you'll buy one now?

No.

You didn't sell a single snow globe?

Now, don't give your brother a hard
time. He took some initiative, and I

that.

Thank you. I mean, the snow globes were
silly, but I bet your next idea will be

great. They're not silly.

I'm glad you feel that way, because you
got 50 of them.

I'm going to sell them all just to prove
you wrong.

Well, now I know it's a pen contest
between you and your daddy. I take two.

All right.

Mom, you're not crazy about Dad.

Want to buy a snow globe? Enough.

And I don't like us making fun of each
other.

We're family, and this should be a place
that is safe where we can talk about

anything.

I agree.

Now, let's just say grace.

Thank you, God, for this food we are
about to receive, and bless the hands

prepared it. And please keep us all in
good health.

Body. And mind.

Why are you looking at me? I'm not.
Amen.

Amen.

Hello?

Oh, baby.

What are you doing up?

I couldn't sleep.

Why are you up?

Same. Do you have insomnia from anxiety?

Is that what you have?

Yes.

What are you anxious about?

Honestly, your mental health.

Me? Why?

You seem preoccupied lately, and you
were asking me all those questions in

car. I was just letting you know that if
you were having any problems, you could

come to me with them.

You think I have mental problems?

Well, not problems.

I'm just worried about your future. And
when I see you moving subatomic

particles around in the air, that makes
me... Subatomic particles are real.

You talk to an invisible man in the sky
who grants wishes. If anyone's mental,

it's you.

Okay, now you are over the line. You
apologize.

No. What the hell's going on?

Nothing. It's fine.

Mom thinks that I'm crazy.

I thought we weren't supposed to say
stuff like that.

Mother?

Yes? Is it okay if I use a knife to
butter my toast, or are you worried I'll

something crazy with it?

You can butter your own toast.

Oh, good. You see the toast, too. I was
afraid I was imagining it. Shelton?

Alright, that's enough.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on. Everything's fine.

I'll tell you later.

My mother believes I'm mentally
unstable.

And since there's a genetic component
and I'm her child, I suppose it's

possible.

I know you're angry right now, but you
will not be disrespectful.

You know, fits of rage are a classic
sign of psychosis.

Oh, you haven't seen fits of rage yet. I
said that's enough.

Both of y 'all are acting like lunatics.

You have to speed.

I think I got it.

I already accepted Jesus in my heart.
No, I'm selling these Texas snow globes.

have enough crap in my house. Crap?

You love Texas, right?

Well, sure.

Who doesn't like snow?

Sleds and snowball fights.

I remember it snowed hard here once when
I was a kid.

That must have been amazing.

It was.

They canceled school. Me and my brother
built a snow fort in the backyard.

That's cool.

My brother and I love doing stuff
together. We're really close.

I hadn't thought about that day in a
long time.

Well, what if that memory was just one
shake away?

How much?

Five dollars.

Fine. I'll take it.

How about you get one for your brother?

I don't know. He married some Yankee gal
and moved to Connecticut.

But he's still your brother.

Ah, what the hell. She'll leave at some
point.

I don't see the point of this.

I just don't think it could hurt for us
to talk to someone.

But I could be home right now wearing a
blindfold, mittens, and nose plug doing

something important.

You know what? Maybe you should mention
the blindfold and mittens to the doctor.

Or maybe I'll mention how you think that
God speaks to you because I find that

concerning. He does speak to me, and
right now he's saying I should wash your

mouth out with soap.

Violent fantasies.

True thing.

Salesman, where you gonna go sell all of
your goods?

Miss Ebner, you remember where you were
the last time it snowed in Medford?

We didn't have a carrot for the
snowman's nose, so can you believe we

dog? That must have been a sight.

I was with my grandchildren.

They had never seen snow before. I
taught them to make snow angels.

Little angels making little angels.

Can't put a price on memories.

But I am running a special. Two for
eight.

Hey, little princess. This is called
snow.

So naturally, I was concerned about his
well -being and was keeping an eye on

him just to be safe.

It's called being neurotic. It's called
being a good mother.

This is healthy.

Communication is the cornerstone. I'm
behaving no differently than I ever

Why are you suddenly so worried about
me?

That is a valid question.

Has anything changed recently?

Well, maybe it's hormonal. When does
menopause typically begin?

It is not my hormone.

Well, it certainly isn't mine. I'm
showing no signs of puberty.

You know, sometimes mothers look for
issues with their children so they can

more needed.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere.

That is not what's happening.

Well, then what is happening?

Baby, there's something I need to tell
you.

Dr. Sturgis is not in the kind of
hospital you think he is.

What kind of hospital is he in?

The psychiatric kind.

Why? What's going on?

He was having some issues, but he's
getting the help he needs, and I'm sure

going to be fine.

And you think since he and I are both
gifted, I'm going to end up like him.

Well, it... it crossed my mind.

Sheldon, you're my baby. It is my job to
worry about you. I can't help it.

I'm sorry I cause you so much concern.

I'm not.

See how valuable a little communication
can be? You do not take credit for this.

And the turtle eating the pizza is
Leonardo.

How can you tell?

He's wearing blue.

And he's the hot one.

Dad. Remember my silly idea?

Yeah.

Guess what?

It's snowing.

Snow!

Snow!

Snow!

Snow! Snow!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Snow! Snow! Snow!
