Previously on Young Shelton. I love you.

Veronica. Hey, Georgie. What's up?

We're friends, right?

What do you mean?

I've asked you out a bunch, and you've
made it pretty clear you weren't

interested. But before I asked out
another girl, I just wanted to make sure

that... It's fine.

So, be around.

Yep.

You better wait. Don't go away now,
darling. Wait. Of all my many skills,

the lesser known is my impressive
ability to wait for things. I once stood

perfectly still for 38 minutes because a
bee was on my shoulder.

I once waited four and a half hours to
be released from a locker.

And one time, when Dr.

Sturgis was late for a lecture, I stayed
longer than everyone.

Where are you all going?

Professor's not here.

I can teach the class.

I just need a box to stand on.

Dr.

Sturgis? Hello, Sheldon. What brings you
here?

You never showed up to class.

Whoops. Time flies when you're having
fun.

What could be more fun than giving a
physics lecture?

Finishing a physics paper.

Ooh, I like where this is headed.

I'm exploring the notion that time
itself is quantized.

Interesting. That sounds like a step
towards a unified field theory.

Fingers crossed.

Although, I can't cross my fingers.

Arthritis.

Too dark back here. Do you have a
flashlight?

In the glove box, I think.

Can you pass it back?

No, I'm driving.

All right, I'm coming up.

Don't crash while I'm unbuckled.

Really? You need to do this right now.

If Dr. Sturgis' first paper in years is
worth risking head trauma, look.

Look at you climbing like a real boy.

Here we go.

A reconsideration of the role of time
operators in quantum mechanics.

Grabby title.

I'll wait for the movie.

Ooh, he's opening with a critical
examination of the Copenhagen

of quantum mechanics.

That reading in the car made you
nauseous. That's in the back seat. Up

fine.

Oh, Sheldon. Sorry.

Well, don't just keep reading.

Nobody else is stronger than I am.

I am

running

over to Berks's for a little while.

Why? Team meeting with the other
baseball moms.

You all right until Dad gets home?

Oh, yeah.

Charles is in charge.

Look at this. I'm talking to an egg.

I brought veggies and ranch.

That's nice.

But when I said snacks, I mean wine.

Oh, don't worry. I got plenty of
emergency snacks.

All right, let's get to this. We are
coming up on the end of the season.

Who wants to handle the team cookout?

Got it. Thank you, Meredith.

Team Pitcher Day. That's me. Carly,
you're a gem.

Mary, that leaves you in charge of
trophies. Any questions?

Actually, snack time.

There's also, uh, veggies.

This is nice.

I like to think of Chi -Chi's as a more
romantic Taco Bell.

So, uh, what do you like to get here?

What? Oh, uh, it doesn't matter. I'll
take the same.

Hi, welcome to... Oh, hey, Georgie.

Huh.

I didn't know you worked here.

Well, haven't seen you in a while.

Oh, you know Janet from school?

Yeah, yeah, of course. Hi.

Hi.

So, can I get you all started with some
drink?

I'm good with water.

Water sounds great.

Refreshing.

I'm glad Dr. Sturgis let me read his
paper before he published.

What is that?

He's getting numbers for the massive
neutrinos that are in excess of 100 giga

electron volts.

Well, good for him.

No, it's embarrassing.

He had a 50 -50 shot.

I guess I need to call and let him know
what a bonehead mistake he made.

There's probably a nicer way to say it.

Did you hear how massive his neutrinos
were? We're well into bonehead

Sheldon, you don't need to be rude to
him.

When am I rude?

Stay a child as long as you can.

Adulthood will not be kind to you.

Neat. The veins on your calf look like a
road map of Texas.

Did you make this tape bat so Dad would
lose weight?

Fine, I'll be polite.

But I still think we could go to San
Antonio using Nemo's leg.

Hello? Dr.

Sturgis, it's Sheldon.

I hope you're well.

I am. I just had soup.

Anyway, I was just calling to let you
know I read your paper.

Wonderful. What did you think?

I thought your typing was very tidy.

Your sentence structure was impressive.

And your theory was not without
succeeding in avoiding success.

Well, Sheldon, you don't need to beat
around the bush. We're men of science.

Just give it to me straight.

The masses for your neutrinos are
impossible.

Are you sure?

Yes. If they were that heavy, atoms
could not be at a decay.

I don't know how I missed that. I'm such
an idiot.

You're not an idiot.

You're just a bonehead.

So you're saying you have no feelings
for her at all?

I wasn't at the restaurant with her. I
was there with you.

That doesn't answer my question.

I was hoping you wouldn't pick up on
that.

Did you take me there on purpose?

Hold on a second. Is this one of those
spots where we end up making out in the

backseat? No.

That's too bad.

Howdy.

Morning. I need to order some baseball
trophies.

Baseball over there.

So many choices.

Mm -hmm.

You should win a trophy for the most
trophies.

Maybe not a trophy for customer service.

Is this everything you have?

Impressive, isn't it?

I noticed that there are no baseball
trophies with girls on them. Girls don't

play baseball.

Actually, my daughter does.

Oh, good for her.

And some... Some of the girls might like
a trophy with a girl on it. Well, then

they'll be very disappointed.

You know what?

I'm gonna take my business elsewhere.

Oh, no.

And you should win a trophy for being
such a sourpuss.

Ta -ta.

Hello? Dr. Sturgis, it's Sheldon. I hope
I'm not interrupting anything.

No, just wondering what became of my
career.

Should I call you back later?

Oh, no, I could be downtrodden and Chad
at the same time. What's up?

I was thinking about the mass problem of
your neutrinos, and I realized we might

be able to solve it if some of the
particles have more spin.

Interesting. That would certainly get
our neutrino mass to zero.

Although it does open up a problem with
double beta decay.

Hmm, that is true.

Unless what it's actually predicting is
a magnetic monopole.

might be difficult to control the
infinities.

Although, if you consider adding faster
-than -light particles like tachyons,

then I suppose you could... Quantize
time!

Yes! Hang on.

If we're going to be thinking at this
level, I should put on pants.

Can you believe this?

Boy trophy, boy trophy.

Boy trophy.

All I see is my trophy wife.

Nope. Okay.

Look, the only girl trophies are for
cheerleading, soccer, and golf.

So buy Missy a golf trophy and tell her
it's a skinny band.

George, that poor girl has been watching
her brother win awards since he was

three years old.

I'd like for her first one to be
special.

Because you think it may also be her
last one?

I didn't say that.

But you thought it.

Yeah.

Hey, here you go.

What's this?

It's your tip from the other night. I
wanted to give it to you then, but I

wanted to get out of there alive.

Don't worry about it.

You sure?

I'm sure.

So how long you been working there?

Couple weeks, trying to save money for
college.

Well, now you have to take this, I
insist.

Thank you.

How are things with Jana?

Honestly, I have no idea.

Should you even be talking to me right
now?

Probably not.

But I'm glad I am.

Me too.

Bye.

I'd like to end today's lecture with a
hilarious physics joke.

Why didn't the photon pack a suitcase?

He was traveling light.

Sheldon? Ha -ha. Thank you.

Class dismissed.

Well, our conversation about my paper
resulted in a very

productive couple of days. I completely
rewrote the whole thing from scratch.

Exciting. I know credits are usually
listed alphabetically, but I'm

fine with my name going second.

Sheldon, I've worked on this paper for
years. I'm not putting your name on it

all. But I helped you. You did, but you
didn't co -write the paper with me.

Is that so?

Yes, it is.

Well, this is an outrage. After all the
help I've given you and I don't even get

credit? Well, of course you are.

You're getting a special thanks in the
footnotes. No one reads the footnotes. I

do. Well, I do too, but that doesn't
mean I want to be in them.

Sheldon, that's where people get
recognition for helping. Oh, you mean

of using my math to convert your hazy
theories of meandering into a well

scientific thesis?

I think you're overstating your
contribution.

Well, I think you should be wearing a
black ski mask because you're trying to

rob me blind.

Well... If anyone should be wearing an
odd piece of apparel, it should be you

wearing a baby bonnet, because that's
how you're behaving.

Ready to go?

Very.

It's a good thing she showed up, because
I do not have a comeback.

Darn it.

When he called me a baby, I should have
said, then I guess you needed a baby's

help to fix your paper.

Very clever.

Turn the car around.

We're halfway home. It's not that
clever.

Why are you being more supportive of me?

Sheldon John is a lot of things, but
he's not a thief.

So you're on his side.

I'm not.

So you're on my side.

For the sake of this car ride, sure.

Okay, here's the plan.

End your relationship with Coach
Ballard, date Dr. Sturgis again, get him

love you more than ever, then when he
least expects it, break his heart and

that's for Sheldon.

Great plan.

You think so? For the sake of this car
ride, sure.

So shiny, aren't you now?

Hello. Remember me?

I thought you were going to take your
business elsewhere.

Well, lucky for you, I believe in second
chances.

Now, I know that you don't have girl
baseball trophies in stock, but could

you have one made special?

Sure.

Great. A custom mold is 50 bucks, and it
takes six weeks.

I'm not paying you $50 for a trophy, and
I don't have six weeks.

Well, does your daughter look like a
horse?

Maybe she'd like this.

I knew all that God talk was covering
something really evil.

I am trying to make a special trophy for
Miffy.

So I'm going to take this head and put
it on that body.

Whatever you say, Dr. Frankenstein.

My daughter deserves to have a trophy
that looks something like her.

So this is kind of a feminist gesture on
your part.

I prefer to think of it as a maternal
gesture.

Let's just split the difference and call
it the stuff of nightmares.

It'll look better when I paint it. I
don't think so.

Grant Linkletter.

Dr. Linkletter. Sheldon Cooper.

I need your help reporting an academic
crime.

Sounds serious.

It is. That's why I'm using my serious
voice.

Then I'll use mine as well.

What's going on?

Dr. Sturgis has stolen my work and is
using it in his own paper.

Well, that's quite the allegation.

It's not an allegation. It's a fact.

He was getting enormous madness for his
neutrinos, and I showed him how to fix

it. But now he's refusing to list me as
a co -author.

Well, I think he has a point.

Is the he in that sentence me? Because
that is a strange way to phrase it. No,

the he is him. I don't play games with
sentence structure.

Look, I haven't done a forensic
examination of this paper, but it's not

to show your work to a colleague to get
their feedback.

But I fixed his paper.

This kind of accusation could have real
consequences.

I consider my next steps very carefully.

You're no help. Put me through to your
supervisor.

Please let me speak to John before you
take this any further.

All right, but if he calls me a baby,
feel free to say that I guess you needed

baby to fix your paper.

That's a good one, but I'm not going to
say it.

I bet the guy who invented the spork is
a millionaire.

I guess.

I wonder if his last name is Spork.

It comes from spoon and fork.

Spork.

Oh, my God, mind is blown.

You know what you should do? Cut your
hair.

What? I think it'd look better.

Ooh, maybe a little beard like George
Michael.

I wonder how tall he is.

I bet he's tall.

Hey, I have something to show you.

What's that?

I was going to give this to you at the
end of the season party, but I was so

excited that I wanted you to see it now.

I couldn't find any girl baseball
trophies, so I made you one.

Why is her head so big?

It's a Barbie head. I had to improvise.
You chopped the head off one of my

Barbies? Don't be silly. I bought a new
one.

I could have had a new Barbie.

The point is, you deserve to be
recognized appropriately for everything

accomplished.

You can't give that to me in front of
all the boys.

Why? It's embarrassing.

Well, we have plenty of time. I can make
the head smaller or the body bigger or

a little bit more.

I just want the same trophy everyone
else gets.

But I want you to feel special.

And I just want to feel regular.

Okay.

Well, I'll make sure you get a regular
one at the party.

Thank you.

Mom, wait.

I get what you were trying to do.

Nice.

Nice.

Can I keep that one, too?

You really want it?

I do.

Despite her many flaws...

My sister did have a soft spot in her
heart.

And a fondness for blowing things up.

Hello? How dare you accuse me of
plagiarism? And to my colleague, no

This is my reputation you're
jeopardizing.

Well, give me the credit I deserve and
I'll stop.

We've been over this.

You made a helpful suggestion, and then
you arrogantly assumed that it entitled

you to a co -author credit, which it
doesn't. But I was the one who... I've

your friend and mentor.

The idea that I would steal from you is
both personally and professionally

insulting.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way,
but... Sheldon, I don't want to see you

class anymore.
