00:00:09,096 --> 00:00:10,401
Who are you?I'm Paige.
3
00:00:10,445 --> 00:00:13,100
A unique child can require
a lot of attention.
4
00:00:13,143 --> 00:00:14,579
Try all the attention.
5
00:00:14,623 --> 00:00:16,886
Barry and I haven't been
in a good place in a long time.
6
00:00:16,929 --> 00:00:20,063
This is oddly reminiscent
of a dinner with my family.
7
00:00:20,107 --> 00:00:22,631
Do you think Stone Age parents
stayed together forever?
8
00:00:22,674 --> 00:00:24,807
They had to. There
were no lawyers.
9
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:27,505
Well, I think my parents
are getting a divorce.Why?
10
00:00:27,549 --> 00:00:28,506
They fight
all the time.
11
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:31,074
About what?Mostly me.
12
00:00:31,118 --> 00:00:32,510
I guess I'm lucky.
13
00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:33,772
Why?
14
00:00:33,816 --> 00:00:36,514
I'm the glue that holds
our family together.
15
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:42,738
No more coffee?
16
00:00:42,781 --> 00:00:43,782
Last cup.
17
00:00:43,826 --> 00:00:45,132
Well, you mind making more?
18
00:00:45,175 --> 00:00:46,742
I just sat down.
19
00:00:46,785 --> 00:00:48,570
But you finished the pot.
20
00:00:48,613 --> 00:00:50,615
George, if I wanted
to make a cup of coffee,
21
00:00:50,659 --> 00:00:52,008
I'd have stayed at my house.
22
00:00:53,227 --> 00:00:54,663
Mmm.
23
00:00:54,706 --> 00:00:56,621
One day I'm gonna put you
in a home,
24
00:00:56,665 --> 00:00:58,580
and I'm gonna smile
just like that.
25
00:00:58,623 --> 00:00:59,798
That's fine.
26
00:00:59,842 --> 00:01:01,539
By then I won't know
who you are anyway.
27
00:01:02,627 --> 00:01:05,195
Guess who is getting a divorce.
28
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,632
About time. Congrats.
29
00:01:07,676 --> 00:01:10,418
Linda and Barry Swanson.
30
00:01:10,461 --> 00:01:12,463
Who's that? A-And can you
tell me how to make coffee?
31
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:14,813
They're Paige's parents.
32
00:01:14,857 --> 00:01:15,553
Who?
33
00:01:15,597 --> 00:01:17,033
The little smart girl.
34
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:20,471
Apparently she's taking
the divorce really hard.
35
00:01:20,515 --> 00:01:22,865
I guess she's been having
trouble in school.
36
00:01:22,908 --> 00:01:24,475
Aw, poor thing.
37
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:26,782
Linda thinks Sheldon
might be a good influence,
38
00:01:26,825 --> 00:01:29,089
you know, maybe rub off
on her a little bit.
39
00:01:29,132 --> 00:01:32,614
What, she wants her kid
to be more like Sheldon?
40
00:01:32,657 --> 00:01:35,051
I don't know what
to say about that.
41
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:37,706
So, good news.
42
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:40,578
Paige is gonna
spend the weekend with us.
43
00:01:40,622 --> 00:01:41,840
ADULT SHELDON:
My history with Paige
44
00:01:41,884 --> 00:01:44,321
brought up
complicated feelings.
45
00:01:44,365 --> 00:01:45,496
She challenged me.
46
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:46,715
Do you know if you'll be doing
47
00:01:46,758 --> 00:01:47,890
a full-color octet calculation
48
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:49,674
with matrix manipulations?
49
00:01:49,718 --> 00:01:51,720
I know you're in my spot.

ADULT SHELDON:
She disturbed me.
51
00:01:52,851 --> 00:01:54,897
Hi, Sheldon!
52
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:56,464
ADULT SHELDON:
She enraged me.

Things were simpler
55
00:02:00,207 --> 00:02:01,556
for my simple-minded sister.
56
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:02,557

SHELDON:

64
00:02:31,586 --> 00:02:33,631
Wait a minute.
65
00:02:33,675 --> 00:02:35,764
Last time you gave me a present
for no reason,
66
00:02:35,807 --> 00:02:37,461
I had to get a booster shot.
67
00:02:37,505 --> 00:02:38,897
Nothing like that.
68
00:02:38,941 --> 00:02:41,683
I was just thinking,
it might be a fun thing for you
69
00:02:41,726 --> 00:02:43,075
to share with Paige.
70
00:02:43,119 --> 00:02:46,427
Sharing. Sometimes I feel
like you don't know me.
71
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:49,212
Paige is having a rough time
at home right now,

and I think she could really
use a friend.

A crocodile could really

but that doesn't mean
I should leap into his mouth.
75

to do this for me.

I don't need an allowance,

It's not about that.

You're part of this family,
you still need to help out.

with Paige's family.

Hi, Missy.
Hi, Sheldon.

00:03:56,758 --> 00:03:58,934
What did you do to your hair?
Is this because

Well, she just
really wanted to,

under the circumstances,
107
00:04:04,983 --> 00:04:05,941
why not?
108
00:04:05,984 --> 00:04:07,638
Well, I think it looks great.

00:04:07,682 --> 00:04:08,639
So, can I have pink...?

00:04:08,683 --> 00:04:11,120
No. Why don't you kids go play?
111
00:04:11,163 --> 00:04:13,253
I'd rather have pink hair
than together parents.

to teach you responsibility.

it's 'cause we're poor.

We are poor.
I do our taxes.

Don't worry.
I'll ask her.

178
00:06:58,809 --> 00:07:00,681
isn't even
oriented north.
179
00:07:00,724 --> 00:07:03,945
Let's go.All right, have fun
at the Hello Kitty store,
180
00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:06,382
and meet me at the
fountain in half an hour.
181
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,559
Just to be clear, there are
no actual kitties, right?
182
00:07:10,821 --> 00:07:12,780
I can't imagine
talking to my dad
183
00:07:12,823 --> 00:07:14,259
the way this kid
talks to me.
184
00:07:14,303 --> 00:07:17,349
I'd have had a belt
on my backside so fast...
185
00:07:17,393 --> 00:07:19,526
My dad was a hugger.
186
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:21,963
I had to tell him three times
to mow the lawn,
187
00:07:22,006 --> 00:07:23,312
and he still gave me attitude.
188
00:07:23,355 --> 00:07:26,446
He's going to school,
holding down a job.
189
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:29,449
If he was my kid,
I'd be proud of him.
190
00:07:31,407 --> 00:07:33,844
I am proud of him.
191
00:07:33,888 --> 00:07:35,803
When he's not being
a total pain in my ass.
192
00:07:37,326 --> 00:07:39,894
You ever tell him you're proud?
193
00:07:39,937 --> 00:07:41,286
He knows.
194
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:44,159
I think it's important
for children to hear it.
195
00:07:44,202 --> 00:07:46,422
You don't even have kids.
196
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,424
I teach and coach teenage boys.
197
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,296
I also put up with
your childish nonsense.
198
00:07:53,385 --> 00:07:55,518
Georgie's just being
so damn disrespectful,
199
00:07:55,562 --> 00:07:56,824
I don't want to reward that.
200
00:07:56,867 --> 00:07:58,303
All right.
201
00:07:58,347 --> 00:08:00,436
My father never said
he was proud of me.
202
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,916
I turned out just fine.
203
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:06,573
George, I'm just trying
to have a nice day,
204
00:08:06,616 --> 00:08:08,313
make some white folks
uncomfortable.
205
00:08:08,357 --> 00:08:10,141
Can you please?
206
00:08:11,447 --> 00:08:15,407
♪ Bela Lugosi's dead...
207
00:08:15,451 --> 00:08:17,584
This isn't
the Hello Kitty store.
208
00:08:17,627 --> 00:08:20,369
No. It's Hot Topic.
209
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:22,676
What's the topic, devil worship?Hey,
210
00:08:22,719 --> 00:08:24,286
did you know there's
a bow tie section in the back?
211
00:08:24,329 --> 00:08:28,116
Why would they hide
that in the back?
212
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:32,599
Ooh.What's that?
213
00:08:32,642 --> 00:08:34,426
Body glitter.
214
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:36,820
That's so much better
than regular glitter.
215
00:08:36,864 --> 00:08:37,821
Then buy it.
216
00:08:37,865 --> 00:08:39,693
I don't have
any money.
217
00:08:39,736 --> 00:08:40,955
Then steal it.
218
00:08:40,998 --> 00:08:43,174
No, my mom
would kill me.
219
00:08:46,438 --> 00:08:48,440
Fine. Your mom
can't punish me.
220
00:08:48,484 --> 00:08:49,703
SHELDON:
I didn't see
any bow ties,
221
00:08:49,746 --> 00:08:51,400
just a shirt with
a bad word on it.
222
00:08:51,443 --> 00:08:53,184
What did you put
in your pocket?
223
00:08:53,228 --> 00:08:54,577
Nothing.
224
00:08:54,621 --> 00:08:56,405
Are you guys stealing?
Because if you are,
225
00:08:56,448 --> 00:08:59,234
I am prepared to literally
blow the whistle on you...Okay.
226
00:09:00,278 --> 00:09:01,541
Okay.
227
00:09:01,584 --> 00:09:04,239
Relax, we were just
playing around.
228
00:09:04,282 --> 00:09:06,284
Let's just get
out of here.Good.
229
00:09:06,328 --> 00:09:07,372
Everyone behind the counter
230
00:09:07,416 --> 00:09:08,852
has an earring
where an earring
231
00:09:08,896 --> 00:09:10,506
does not belong.
232
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:12,334
Hey, Vern,
looks like you're turning
233
00:09:12,377 --> 00:09:14,945
into quite the little shopper.
234
00:09:14,989 --> 00:09:15,946
Hey.
235
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:17,382
I've already mowed the lawn.
236
00:09:17,426 --> 00:09:19,428
I know.
Thanks for doing that.
237
00:09:19,471 --> 00:09:21,952
So what do you want?
238
00:09:21,996 --> 00:09:24,651
Well, I was thinking you and I
could go grab a burger.
239
00:09:24,694 --> 00:09:26,478
Why?
240
00:09:26,522 --> 00:09:28,437
'Cause I thought
it'd be a nice thing to do.
241
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,091
Which restaurant?
242
00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:31,962
Why does it matter?
243
00:09:32,006 --> 00:09:33,311
Well, McDonald's burgers
are fried,
244
00:09:33,355 --> 00:09:34,878
and sometimes
I like flame-broiled.
245
00:09:34,922 --> 00:09:37,533
Fine, we can go to Burger King.
246
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,361
I don't like the fries
at Burger King.
247
00:09:39,404 --> 00:09:40,710
Ooh, Arby's has
248
00:09:40,754 --> 00:09:42,146
those curly fries.
249
00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:44,322
Shoot, they don't have burgers.
250
00:09:44,366 --> 00:09:46,847
Then let's go to Whataburger.
251
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:49,632
Okay, but I hope you're not
this cranky the whole meal.
252
00:09:50,677 --> 00:09:53,549
[exhales]
253
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,467
So,
254
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:00,730
we haven't really had
a chance to talk much lately.
255
00:10:00,774 --> 00:10:02,340
Why is it so hot in here?
256
00:10:02,384 --> 00:10:04,125
AC's busted.
257
00:10:04,168 --> 00:10:05,648
Why don't you get it fixed?
258
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:07,998
'Cause I got better things
to spend my money on.
259
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:10,566
Anyway,
260
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,046
what I wanted to say
261
00:10:12,089 --> 00:10:16,485
is, even though I'm not loving
your attitude lately,
262
00:10:16,528 --> 00:10:18,269
I think it's great
you got this job
263
00:10:18,313 --> 00:10:20,532
and y-you're doing
so well at it.
264
00:10:22,491 --> 00:10:24,014
I'm proud of you.
265
00:10:24,058 --> 00:10:25,799
All right.
266
00:10:25,842 --> 00:10:27,757
That's all you have to say?
267
00:10:27,801 --> 00:10:30,368
Well, maybe if I wasn't
sweating my balls off,
268
00:10:30,412 --> 00:10:31,935
I could think of something else.
269
00:10:31,979 --> 00:10:33,589
Just stick your head
out the window.
270
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,113
If it's about money,
I've got money.
271
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:40,770
It can even be a loan
if it makes you feel better.
272
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,469
Don't you dare.
273
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:50,475
You said you're proud of my job.
I don't think you are.
274
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:52,042
You know what? Forget lunch.
275
00:10:52,086 --> 00:10:53,478
Let's just go home.
276
00:10:53,522 --> 00:10:55,829
Smart. Save some money
for your truck.
277
00:10:56,873 --> 00:10:58,396
That's it.
278
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,398
You're walking.
279
00:11:08,624 --> 00:11:12,323
ADULT SHELDON:
I had survived a perilous trip
to the accessory store,
280
00:11:12,367 --> 00:11:16,632
but it turned out,
the real accessory was me.
281
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:23,639
I can't believe you stole.
282
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,728
You walked out with it.
You stole.
283
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:27,034
Why would I steal glitter?
284
00:11:27,077 --> 00:11:29,166
I already have
a sparkling personality.
285
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:30,646
Tell it to the cops.
286
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:31,908
Or your cellmate.
287
00:11:31,952 --> 00:11:35,129
You're so smart.
Why are you acting like this?
288
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:37,044
Maybe I don't want to be smart.
289
00:11:37,087 --> 00:11:39,481
I have to sit down.
290
00:11:39,524 --> 00:11:41,483
Being smart sucks.
291
00:11:41,526 --> 00:11:43,877
It's the reason
we moved here from Arkansas,
292
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,707
a-and my parents never yelled
at each other before that.
293
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:51,014
It's just better to be normal.
294
00:11:51,058 --> 00:11:54,539
It works for me. But I
also have good cheekbones.
295
00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:03,026
You swim here?
296
00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:06,726
Dad kicked me out of his truck.
I had to walk back.
297
00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:09,380
[chuckles] What dumb thing
did you say or do?
298
00:12:09,424 --> 00:12:11,731
How do you know I'm the one
who did something dumb?
299
00:12:11,774 --> 00:12:13,994
'Cause you kind of shine at it.
300
00:12:14,037 --> 00:12:16,779
All I did is offer
to pay to fix his AC.
301
00:12:16,823 --> 00:12:19,129
And there it is. Dumb.
302
00:12:19,173 --> 00:12:20,261
What's wrong with that?
303
00:12:20,304 --> 00:12:21,697
Your dad is a grown man.
304
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:25,092
He doesn't want his kid
giving him money.
305
00:12:25,135 --> 00:12:27,050
So he's glad I'm making money,
306
00:12:27,094 --> 00:12:29,836
but I'm not allowed to use
that money to help him out?
307
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:31,751
I don't get it.Well, someday,
when you have
308
00:12:31,794 --> 00:12:35,363
a bunch of sweaty, mullet-headed
kids running around, you will.
309
00:12:35,406 --> 00:12:37,278
Oh, I ain't never having kids.
310
00:12:37,321 --> 00:12:40,716
Well, that's the smartest thing
I ever heard you say.
311
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,762
Thank you.
312
00:12:44,633 --> 00:12:46,548
[chuckles softly]
313
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:50,900

STURGIS [over phone]:
John Sturgis at your service.
315
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,774
Dr. Sturgis, Sheldon Cooper.
316
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:56,166
Hello, Sheldon.
317
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:57,211
How are you doing?
318
00:12:57,254 --> 00:12:59,517
Confused, upset, annoyed,
319
00:12:59,561 --> 00:13:01,868
and potentially
in trouble with the law.
320
00:13:01,911 --> 00:13:05,262
Well, in which order would
you like to handle this?
321
00:13:05,306 --> 00:13:06,829
Let's start with confused,
322
00:13:06,873 --> 00:13:08,962
but if we hear sirens
approaching, we'll jump ahead.
323
00:13:09,005 --> 00:13:11,181
Great. What's on your mind?
324
00:13:11,225 --> 00:13:13,793
Do you ever wish
that you weren't smart?
325
00:13:13,836 --> 00:13:16,839
So I would be short,
lonely andstupid?
326
00:13:16,883 --> 00:13:18,667
No, that seems worse.
327
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:20,016
Why do you ask?
328
00:13:20,060 --> 00:13:21,844
Do you remember Paige?
329
00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:23,846
Of course,
brilliant little girl.
330
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:25,152
I know, but she says
that she doesn't
331
00:13:25,195 --> 00:13:27,110
want to be smart anymore.
332
00:13:27,154 --> 00:13:31,375
Well, perhaps she's experiencing
some sort of identity crisis.
333
00:13:31,419 --> 00:13:34,030
Is it possible her ex
is dating someone
334
00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:38,121
who seems better for her
in every imaginable way?
335
00:13:38,165 --> 00:13:40,036
I'm confused.
336
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,690
So am I.
337
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:44,824
How do I make her understand
that being smart is the best?
338
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:50,003
Might I suggest, instead
of trying to fix her problem,
339
00:13:50,046 --> 00:13:52,222
you just listen?
340
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:55,138
When I was in the psychiatric
ward, I learned that people
341
00:13:55,182 --> 00:14:00,143
who are struggling emotionally
often just need to be heard.
342
00:14:00,187 --> 00:14:02,145
Hmm.
343
00:14:02,189 --> 00:14:05,018
Sounds difficult,
but I suppose I could try.
344
00:14:05,061 --> 00:14:07,672
Another thing I learned in
the hospital is that some people
345
00:14:07,716 --> 00:14:10,893
believe there are weird mole men
living in tunnels
346
00:14:10,937 --> 00:14:13,243
deep inside the earth.
347
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:15,942
Well, this has been
mostly helpful.
348
00:14:15,985 --> 00:14:17,944
And you're mostly welcome.
349
00:14:24,385 --> 00:14:25,603
You made it.
350
00:14:25,647 --> 00:14:27,649
Yeah, I made it.
351
00:14:33,655 --> 00:14:35,657
Sorry.
352
00:14:37,572 --> 00:14:39,574
No problem.
353
00:14:45,797 --> 00:14:47,364
Ow.
354
00:14:47,408 --> 00:14:51,151
Ow. Is there a way to do this
so it doesn't hurt?
355
00:14:51,194 --> 00:14:53,153
No. Beauty is pain.
356
00:14:53,196 --> 00:14:55,764
Boy George must really suffer.
357
00:14:55,807 --> 00:14:57,157
Missy, I need a moment
with Paige.
358
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,072
Make it quick.
359
00:14:59,115 --> 00:15:01,117
I'm only half-beautiful.
360
00:15:05,078 --> 00:15:06,079
Yeah?
361
00:15:06,122 --> 00:15:07,776
I'm listening.
362
00:15:07,819 --> 00:15:08,777
To what?
363
00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:09,996
To you.
364
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:11,519
I'm not saying anything.
365
00:15:11,562 --> 00:15:13,216
Well, if you wanted to say
anything, I'd be listening.
366
00:15:14,261 --> 00:15:15,784
But I don't want
to say anything.
367
00:15:15,827 --> 00:15:18,221
And I don't want to be
listening, but here we are.
368
00:15:18,265 --> 00:15:19,570
Are you feeling better yet?
369
00:15:19,614 --> 00:15:24,053
You're being weird,
and not in the usual way.
370
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,101
Guess that's my life now.
371
00:15:28,144 --> 00:15:29,537
What do you mean?
372
00:15:31,582 --> 00:15:34,237
Everyone is acting weird.
373
00:15:34,281 --> 00:15:39,242
My mom is going on dates and
my dad is acting like a child.
374
00:15:39,286 --> 00:15:42,985
My sister's crying all the time.
375
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:45,770
I just
376
00:15:45,814 --> 00:15:51,124
wish that everything could
go back to the way it was.
377
00:15:51,167 --> 00:15:54,997
I don't think it will.
378
00:15:55,041 --> 00:15:57,565
ADULT SHELDON:
It turned out I was
really good at listening.
379
00:15:57,608 --> 00:16:01,264
The trick is to sit there, and
when you want to leave, don't.
380
00:16:02,309 --> 00:16:05,834
I have to live
in two separate houses.
381
00:16:05,877 --> 00:16:10,752
And my grandma says the meanest
things about my dad.
382
00:16:10,795 --> 00:16:13,233
I know that everyone is upset
383
00:16:13,276 --> 00:16:15,191
that I'm not doing well
in school.
384
00:16:15,235 --> 00:16:19,282
It's just hard to care.
385
00:16:21,328 --> 00:16:24,331
Everything that used
to seem important to me
386
00:16:24,374 --> 00:16:28,813
just... doesn't anymore.
387
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:35,820
So I guess, really,
I just feel alone.
388
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,957
That sounds hard.
389
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:45,395
Yeah... it is.
390
00:16:45,439 --> 00:16:47,397
ADULT SHELDON:
Dr. Sturgis was right.
391
00:16:47,441 --> 00:16:51,880
There was nothing I could do
to fix this, or so I thought.
392
00:16:51,923 --> 00:16:54,100
Can I offer you a hot beverage?
393
00:16:55,144 --> 00:16:56,928
That would be nice.
394
00:16:56,972 --> 00:16:59,061
Be right back.
395
00:17:00,671 --> 00:17:02,412
ADULT SHELDON:
The "Hot Beverage of Comfort"
396
00:17:02,456 --> 00:17:04,066
would become my go-to method
397
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:06,938
of dealing with someone
in emotional distress.
398
00:17:06,982 --> 00:17:08,766
And it always worked.
399
00:17:08,810 --> 00:17:11,117
Except when my wife
was in labor,
400
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,163
where it was suggested
I throw it in my own face.
401
00:17:21,127 --> 00:17:22,954
What you doing?Paige is feeling sad,
402
00:17:22,998 --> 00:17:25,261
so I'm making her
a hot beverage.
403
00:17:25,305 --> 00:17:27,307
Oh. You're a good kid.
404
00:17:29,961 --> 00:17:31,963
I'm proud of you.
405
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:34,923
Thank you.
406
00:17:34,966 --> 00:17:36,359
ADULT SHELDON:
Of all my accomplishments,
407
00:17:36,403 --> 00:17:39,145
I don't know why he singled
this moment out,
408
00:17:39,188 --> 00:17:42,017
but I'm glad he did.
409
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,584
Sup?

00:17:43,627 --> 00:17:47,979
♪ I sparkle
411
00:17:48,023 --> 00:17:50,982
