I can put up a sign?

177
00:07:29,246 --> 00:07:30,374
I don't know.

178
00:07:30,459 --> 00:07:32,569
Because if I put up
a "Do enter" sign,

179
00:07:32,654 --> 00:07:33,719
which sign would have
precedence?

180
00:07:33,803 --> 00:07:35,892
Do we have a lawyer?
I should talk to a lawyer.

181
00:07:37,744 --> 00:07:40,741
She's having boy problems.
Just give her space.

182
00:07:40,874 --> 00:07:42,288
Emotionally or legally?

183
00:07:42,477 --> 00:07:44,004
Emotionally.

184
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:46,921
Excellent. Ignoring emotions
is where I shine.

185
00:07:47,685 --> 00:07:48,843
Clearly.

186
00:07:48,928 --> 00:07:50,405
[door opens]

187
00:07:51,473 --> 00:07:53,542
- Did you not see the sign?
- I did.

188
00:07:53,627 --> 00:07:55,949
It's not legally binding.
I asked Dad.

189
00:07:56,453 --> 00:07:57,632
What are you doing?

190
00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:00,267
- Getting rid of my stupid toys.
- Hmm.

191
00:08:00,367 --> 00:08:01,839
Even your
Cabbage Patch doll?

192
00:08:01,924 --> 00:08:03,580
- I don't need a doll.
- Good.

193
00:08:03,673 --> 00:08:06,408
She was starting
to smell like actual cabbage.

194
00:08:09,447 --> 00:08:11,103
Why are you taking that
down?

195
00:08:11,205 --> 00:08:12,323
It's time to grow up.

196
00:08:12,504 --> 00:08:13,900
Leave it there.

197
00:08:14,441 --> 00:08:15,931
You don't even like
Cyndi Lauper.

198
00:08:16,016 --> 00:08:17,541
No, but it's part
of my daily routine.

199
00:08:17,626 --> 00:08:19,892
Every morning I wake up,
look over there and wonder,

200
00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:21,783
"Why is she standing
like this?"

201
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:23,821
Too bad.
It's my room.

202
00:08:24,093 --> 00:08:25,291
It's my room, too.

203
00:08:25,376 --> 00:08:26,541
Yeah, and I don't get a say

204
00:08:26,626 --> 00:08:28,119
in any of
your stupid posters.

205
00:08:28,204 --> 00:08:29,849
These are the smartest men
who ever lived,

206
00:08:29,934 --> 00:08:32,067
so if anyone's stupid,
it's you for saying that.

207
00:08:32,247 --> 00:08:33,425
Shut up!

208
00:08:33,547 --> 00:08:34,712
You're very irritable.

209
00:08:34,797 --> 00:08:36,880
This might be why
you're having boy problems.

210
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:39,678
<i>Put that down!</i>

211
00:08:39,887 --> 00:08:40,978
MISSY:
<i>No!</i>

212
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,689
SHELDON:
<i>Missy, I mean it!</i>

213
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:44,007
MISSY:
I don't care!

214
00:08:44,091 --> 00:08:45,966
SHELDON:
<i>It's mine! Give it back!</i>

215
00:08:46,450 --> 00:08:47,974
<i>What did you do?!</i>

216
00:08:48,161 --> 00:08:50,278
What the hell's
going on in here?!

217
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:51,560
Look what she did!

218
00:08:51,652 --> 00:08:54,060
- It's his fault!
- That's enough out of both of you!

219
00:08:54,214 --> 00:08:56,505
I told you not
to come in here. Go!

220
00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:57,809
Now!

221
00:09:00,622 --> 00:09:02,406
You want
to explain yourself?

222
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:05,185
[crying]

223
00:09:16,241 --> 00:09:17,721
We'll get you another picture.

224
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:20,474
I don't want another picture.
I want this one.

225
00:09:20,629 --> 00:09:21,981
I told you
not to go in there.

226
00:09:22,066 --> 00:09:23,201
It's my room!

227
00:09:23,286 --> 00:09:24,495
Hey, you watch your tone!

228
00:09:24,580 --> 00:09:25,671
[door opens]

229
00:09:25,883 --> 00:09:27,776
What's going on?

230
00:09:27,933 --> 00:09:29,987
Missy tore my Professor
Proton picture,

231
00:09:30,072 --> 00:09:31,104
and now Dad's yelling
at me.

232
00:09:31,188 --> 00:09:32,760
You yelled first.
He yelled first.

233
00:09:32,845 --> 00:09:33,886
[sighs]

234
00:09:33,971 --> 00:09:35,416
I'll take care of this.

235
00:09:35,501 --> 00:09:36,853
You don't even know
what happened.

236
00:09:36,938 --> 00:09:38,464
Did she tear up his picture?

237
00:09:39,041 --> 00:09:40,385
Well, yeah, she did.

238
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:42,518
Honestly, I can't leave
this house for five minutes

239
00:09:42,603 --> 00:09:44,564
without everything
falling apart.

240
00:09:44,725 --> 00:09:45,924
I was handling it.

241
00:09:46,009 --> 00:09:47,666
Obviously.

242
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,875
[sighs]

243
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:50,649
You yelled first.

244
00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:53,482
Missy Cooper, you apologize
to your brother

245
00:09:53,567 --> 00:09:55,077
right this second.

246
00:09:55,162 --> 00:09:56,514
[crying]:
No.

247
00:09:56,598 --> 00:09:58,342
I am not gonna
tell you again.

248
00:09:58,426 --> 00:10:00,761
Why do you always
take his side?

249
00:10:00,846 --> 00:10:02,049
I do not.

250
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:04,258
Yes, you do.
Everybody does.

251
00:10:04,343 --> 00:10:05,870
I hate this family.

252
00:10:06,032 --> 00:10:08,362
You are grounded,
young lady.

253
00:10:08,525 --> 00:10:09,885
Fine!

254
00:10:10,173 --> 00:10:11,783
It is fine!

255
00:10:14,377 --> 00:10:16,002
Hmm,
thanks for handling that.

256
00:10:19,489 --> 00:10:22,105
Hey, Moon Pie.
Is everything okay?

257
00:10:22,190 --> 00:10:24,113
No, everything is terrible.

258
00:10:24,198 --> 00:10:27,807
Oh. That sounds like
a job for cookies.

259
00:10:29,478 --> 00:10:33,182
Okay, here you go.

260
00:10:34,041 --> 00:10:35,519
You're not baking them
fresh?

261
00:10:35,721 --> 00:10:38,330
Do you want me to bake
or you want me to listen?

262
00:10:41,299 --> 00:10:44,480
I'm sorry she ruined
your picture, but, you know,

263
00:10:44,565 --> 00:10:46,026
she's having a bad day.

264
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,652
Oh, please, she can find
another boyfriend.

265
00:10:48,745 --> 00:10:51,363
- I know you're mad at her.
- I hate her.

266
00:10:51,612 --> 00:10:54,441
Hey, don't say that
about family.

267
00:10:54,526 --> 00:10:56,301
You say mean stuff
about my dad.

268
00:10:56,386 --> 00:10:58,590
That's different.
He deserves it. But Missy...

269
00:10:58,675 --> 00:11:00,566
Listen here.
She's your sister.

270
00:11:00,651 --> 00:11:02,144
She's always gonna be
your sister,

271
00:11:02,229 --> 00:11:04,612
so you have to find a way
to forgive her.

272
00:11:05,347 --> 00:11:07,090
But she did this
just to hurt me.

273
00:11:07,175 --> 00:11:08,082
I know.

274
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:10,003
But she's hurting, too.

275
00:11:10,088 --> 00:11:11,440
What does that have to do
with me?

276
00:11:11,525 --> 00:11:12,573
You're the big brother.

277
00:11:12,658 --> 00:11:14,107
I'm only two minutes older.

278
00:11:14,192 --> 00:11:15,753
Which makes you
the big brother,

279
00:11:15,838 --> 00:11:19,003
which means that it is your job
to look out for her.

280
00:11:19,088 --> 00:11:20,261
That doesn't make sense.

281
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:23,612
Why should random birth order
determine moral responsibility?

282
00:11:23,697 --> 00:11:25,776
I don't make the rules,
Moon Pie.

283
00:11:26,127 --> 00:11:27,768
Doesn't seem like
you make cookies either.

284
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:29,558
What's taking so long?

285
00:11:30,755 --> 00:11:32,377
It would be nice
if I didn't have

286
00:11:32,462 --> 00:11:34,250
to come home after
a long day at work

287
00:11:34,335 --> 00:11:36,081
and take care
of everything here.

288
00:11:36,232 --> 00:11:38,194
You didn't.
I was handling it

289
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:40,130
till you came and bulldozed
right over me.

290
00:11:40,215 --> 00:11:41,175
Sheldon was upset.

291
00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:42,667
This isn't about Sheldon.

292
00:11:42,752 --> 00:11:44,659
It's about you thinking
you're always right.

293
00:11:45,797 --> 00:11:47,628
MARY:
<i>That is not true.</i>

294
00:11:47,713 --> 00:11:50,829
<i>This is me wishing that
after work I could come home</i>

295
00:11:50,914 --> 00:11:52,964
<i>and have my kids
not at each other's throats.</i>

296
00:11:53,049 --> 00:11:56,175
<i>And maybe once have
someone else make dinner.</i>

297
00:11:56,260 --> 00:11:58,222
GEORGE SR.: Why? So you
could tell me how I made it wrong?

298
00:11:58,306 --> 00:12:00,703
MARY: I had a long day.
Are you trying to make it worse?

299
00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:02,668
GEORGE SR.: Oh, I think
you already took care of that.

300
00:12:02,752 --> 00:12:04,659
- MARY: I do not.
- GEORGE SR.: You act like

301
00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:07,009
you're the only thing
holding this house together.

302
00:12:16,308 --> 00:12:18,092
Missy?

303
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:20,448
What are you doing?

304
00:12:21,268 --> 00:12:23,065
Hiding from you, idiot.

305
00:12:23,229 --> 00:12:26,128
I found you.
You're not very good at this.

306
00:12:26,424 --> 00:12:27,817
Just go home.

307
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,159
- Where are you going?
- I'm running away.

308
00:12:31,315 --> 00:12:32,806
You can't run away.

309
00:12:33,089 --> 00:12:34,128
Too late.

310
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:35,975
Then I'm telling Mom.

311
00:12:36,060 --> 00:12:38,121
Of course you are.
Then she'll side with you,

312
00:12:38,206 --> 00:12:40,612
and I'll get in trouble,
just like always.

313
00:12:41,681 --> 00:12:43,370
- Fine. I won't tell.
- Great.

314
00:12:43,832 --> 00:12:45,141
But I'm coming with you.

315
00:12:45,409 --> 00:12:47,433
You're one of the people
I'm running away from.

316
00:12:47,753 --> 00:12:50,324
I'm sorry, but I can't let you
wander at night by yourself.

317
00:12:50,409 --> 00:12:52,198
- I'm your big brother.
- We're twins.

318
00:12:52,283 --> 00:12:54,387
I was born two minutes
earlier, which apparently

319
00:12:54,472 --> 00:12:55,872
makes me responsible
for you.

320
00:12:55,956 --> 00:12:57,128
That's dumb.

321
00:12:57,213 --> 00:12:59,495
I'm not happy about it either,
but here we are.

322
00:13:03,131 --> 00:13:04,276
[sighs]

323
00:13:09,316 --> 00:13:10,450
Hey.

324
00:13:10,825 --> 00:13:12,012
Hello.

325
00:13:12,285 --> 00:13:13,435
What's up?

326
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,739
Nothing.

327
00:13:15,691 --> 00:13:16,997
Who died?

328
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:20,810
Whoa, did somebody
really die?

329
00:13:20,894 --> 00:13:22,290
No one died.

330
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,997
Cool.
Where's dinner?

331
00:13:24,238 --> 00:13:26,548
Anyone who wants dinner
can make it for themselves.

332
00:13:26,726 --> 00:13:27,708
I am not cooking.

333
00:13:27,793 --> 00:13:29,123
Don't take it out
on him.

334
00:13:29,207 --> 00:13:32,082
- Ooh, take what out on me?
- Stay out of it.

335
00:13:32,166 --> 00:13:33,896
You really want
to start this up again?

336
00:13:33,981 --> 00:13:36,418
Wait, are you asking me
what I want? Well, that's a first.

337
00:13:36,503 --> 00:13:39,740
Oh, please, your whole life
is doing whatever you want.

338
00:13:39,825 --> 00:13:42,075
- Oh, really?
- I can just leave.

339
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,091
Did I want to get stuck
coaching high school football?

340
00:13:45,176 --> 00:13:47,170
Did I want to live across
the street from your mother?

341
00:13:47,254 --> 00:13:49,099
Did I want to spend my evening
getting yelled at

342
00:13:49,183 --> 00:13:50,911
by my daughter and my son
and my wife?

343
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:53,741
I'm sorry, I didn't realize
you were so unhappy.

344
00:13:53,887 --> 00:13:56,231
Because you never bother
to ask.

345
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:02,926
[door opens, shuts]

346
00:14:12,481 --> 00:14:14,114
Where are we going?

347
00:14:15,052 --> 00:14:16,314
Right there.

348
00:14:17,132 --> 00:14:19,036
An old shack in the
middle of the woods?

349
00:14:19,254 --> 00:14:20,637
Have you even seen
Scooby Doo?

350
00:14:20,722 --> 00:14:22,247
Great, go home.

351
00:14:22,454 --> 00:14:25,544
At night, by myself?
Nice try.

352
00:14:31,726 --> 00:14:33,557
Do you come here a lot?

353
00:14:33,642 --> 00:14:36,842
Sometimes, when I want
to be alone.

354
00:14:37,075 --> 00:14:38,426
Alone from me.

355
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:41,012
Not just you.
Everyone.

356
00:14:43,701 --> 00:14:46,090
Is this
about that boy?

357
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:48,676
I don't want
to talk about it.

358
00:14:48,761 --> 00:14:50,474
Is he why you were
getting rid of your toys

359
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:51,497
and your posters?

360
00:14:51,582 --> 00:14:53,545
Because I don't think you should
change for some boy.

361
00:14:53,629 --> 00:14:55,590
You're just saying that
'cause you hate change.

362
00:14:55,675 --> 00:14:57,200
You don't care
about my feelings.

363
00:14:57,285 --> 00:14:58,309
How can you say that?

364
00:14:58,394 --> 00:15:00,256
I'm literally risking my life
to be here.

365
00:15:00,341 --> 00:15:03,700
Look around. It is tetanus
as far as the eye can see.

366
00:15:05,142 --> 00:15:06,395
[knock on door]

367
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,708
Come in.

368
00:15:10,811 --> 00:15:12,132
I figured you didn't eat.

369
00:15:12,217 --> 00:15:13,615
I made you some soup.

370
00:15:13,706 --> 00:15:15,507
Oh, thank you.

371
00:15:15,592 --> 00:15:17,257
But you didn't
have to do that.

372
00:15:17,342 --> 00:15:18,770
Everything's fine.

373
00:15:18,855 --> 00:15:21,426
I ain't a kid.
You don't gotta lie to me.

374
00:15:21,834 --> 00:15:22,959
[sighs]

375
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:24,373
Okay.

376
00:15:25,889 --> 00:15:29,154
Honestly, I'm upset
with your father.

377
00:15:30,415 --> 00:15:32,600
And I'm upset
with myself.

378
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,335
Why?

379
00:15:34,529 --> 00:15:38,670
'Cause...
he's right.

380
00:15:38,989 --> 00:15:41,310
Maybe I do think
I know best,

381
00:15:41,511 --> 00:15:43,264
and I can be critical.

382
00:15:45,466 --> 00:15:47,928
But thank you
for making me soup.

383
00:15:48,865 --> 00:15:50,123
You're welcome.

384
00:15:52,346 --> 00:15:54,271
Did you put water
in this?

385
00:15:54,857 --> 00:15:56,310
Was I supposed to?

386
00:15:58,806 --> 00:16:00,111
It's fine.

387
00:16:09,404 --> 00:16:11,193
And then today I found out
he was actually

388
00:16:11,278 --> 00:16:12,428
holding hands
with Nicole

389
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:14,646
- at the roller rink.
- Who's Nicole?

390
00:16:14,786 --> 00:16:16,615
A seventh-grader.

391
00:16:16,958 --> 00:16:18,365
So you want to appear
more mature

392
00:16:18,450 --> 00:16:19,976
to make him
like you again.

393
00:16:20,061 --> 00:16:21,029
I guess.

394
00:16:21,114 --> 00:16:23,076
Hmm. Well, I'd suggest
a bow tie,

395
00:16:23,161 --> 00:16:24,466
but that's
kind of my thing.

396
00:16:26,392 --> 00:16:29,053
I'm... sorry I ripped
your picture.

397
00:16:29,983 --> 00:16:31,147
Thank you.

398
00:16:31,254 --> 00:16:33,272
And I wasn't just upset
about the room changing.

399
00:16:33,357 --> 00:16:34,772
It was also you.

400
00:16:34,857 --> 00:16:35,951
Me what?

401
00:16:36,068 --> 00:16:37,333
You're changing, too.

402
00:16:37,418 --> 00:16:38,506
How?

403
00:16:38,591 --> 00:16:39,622
You like boys,
and you're

404
00:16:39,707 --> 00:16:41,015
half an inch taller than me now.

405
00:16:41,473 --> 00:16:42,850
It's called growing up.

406
00:16:43,563 --> 00:16:45,607
Well, I don't like it.
Trust me,

407
00:16:45,692 --> 00:16:48,022
20 years from now you're not
gonna be sitting around,

408
00:16:48,107 --> 00:16:50,881
talking about Star Trek
and reading comic books.

409
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,092
Would you like
to bet on that?

410
00:16:53,457 --> 00:16:54,631
A dollar.

411
00:16:56,364 --> 00:16:57,669
Hmm.

412
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:01,622
ADULT SHELDON:
<i>She still hasn't paid me.</i>

413
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:04,220
<i>And guess who's wearing
Star Trek underpants</i>

414
00:17:04,304 --> 00:17:05,686
<i>right now.</i>

415
00:17:11,473 --> 00:17:14,568
That's the thing
with pool balls and people.

416
00:17:15,139 --> 00:17:18,787
They are both...
unpredictable.

417
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:20,217
Hi, George.

418
00:17:20,487 --> 00:17:22,101
Oh, hey, Brenda.

419
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:24,225
What brings you
out tonight?

420
00:17:25,287 --> 00:17:27,162
Just needed to get out
of the house.

421
00:17:27,247 --> 00:17:28,512
[sighs heavily]

422
00:17:28,688 --> 00:17:30,061
I hear that.

423
00:17:31,608 --> 00:17:33,139
You want some company?

424
00:17:33,513 --> 00:17:34,828
Sure.

425
