Previously on Young Sheldon...
2
00:00:03,174 --> 00:00:04,845
Which bowtie says "mature enough
3
00:00:04,848 --> 00:00:06,543
to be in college, but whimsical enough
4
00:00:06,545 --> 00:00:08,110
to discuss which came first,
5
00:00:08,112 --> 00:00:09,895
the Higgs field or the photon"?
6
00:00:09,897 --> 00:00:11,984
They both say "weird
kid who eats alone."
7
00:00:11,986 --> 00:00:14,595
Hello, Dr. Sturgis. This is Mary Cooper.
8
00:00:14,597 --> 00:00:18,093
Did you know there's a, uh,
supercollider being built
9
00:00:18,096 --> 00:00:20,731
- in Waxahachie, Texas?
- No.
10
00:00:20,733 --> 00:00:22,908
I've taken a job there.
11
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:25,911
Hold on. You're not gonna be around
12
00:00:25,913 --> 00:00:27,293
when Sheldon starts college?
13
00:00:27,296 --> 00:00:29,392
That's a great question.
14
00:00:29,394 --> 00:00:30,874
No.
15
00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:34,441
JEFF: Since everyone
16
00:00:34,443 --> 00:00:36,629
is going back to school
tomorrow, let's finish up
17
00:00:36,632 --> 00:00:39,750
with a back-to-school prayer. What?
18
00:00:39,752 --> 00:00:41,535
Does this prayer just
apply to middle school,
19
00:00:41,537 --> 00:00:44,146
or is it appropriate
for the college-bound?
20
00:00:44,148 --> 00:00:45,539
It's for everyone.
21
00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:47,933
But thank you once
again for reminding us
22
00:00:47,935 --> 00:00:49,238
you're starting college.
23
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,382
Oh, I don't mind. You've
got a lot on your plate.
24
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:53,019
Just pray.
25
00:00:53,022 --> 00:00:56,437
ALL: Dear Heavenly Father,
as we return to school,
26
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,734
we look to your eternal...
27
00:00:57,737 --> 00:00:59,025
Billy, it's not the pledge.
28
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:04,558
It is clear that we cannot
expect the cooperation...
29
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,779
Normally I don't like facial
hair, but Spock makes it work.
30
00:01:08,781 --> 00:01:10,216
- Hello?
- Sheldon,
31
00:01:10,218 --> 00:01:12,031
it's Dr. Linkletter.
32
00:01:12,034 --> 00:01:14,307
I'm watching Star Trek:
The Original Series.
33
00:01:14,309 --> 00:01:16,843
I'm sorry, I'm not up on my cartoons.
34
00:01:16,846 --> 00:01:18,672
It's not a cartoon. It's a live-action
35
00:01:18,675 --> 00:01:20,065
science fiction show.
36
00:01:20,068 --> 00:01:21,828
Although there is one called Star Trek:
37
00:01:21,831 --> 00:01:23,265
The Animated Series.
38
00:01:23,268 --> 00:01:24,833
I believe you.
39
00:01:24,836 --> 00:01:27,227
I was wondering if I can
speak with your mommy.
40
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:28,582
Sure. Hold on.
41
00:01:28,584 --> 00:01:31,150
Mom, Dr. Linkletter's on the phone.
42
00:01:31,152 --> 00:01:32,747
While we wait, here's a fun fact.
43
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:33,914
In the animated series,
44
00:01:33,917 --> 00:01:35,980
Kukulkan was played by James Doohan.
45
00:01:35,983 --> 00:01:38,287
- Hello?
- James Doohan played Scotty
46
00:01:38,289 --> 00:01:39,680
on Star Trek: The Original Series.
47
00:01:39,682 --> 00:01:41,210
Sheldon, I've got it.
48
00:01:41,213 --> 00:01:44,075
He tried several accents
before settling on Scottish.
49
00:01:44,078 --> 00:01:46,109
- MARY: Sheldon, hang up.
- SHELDON: Okay.
50
00:01:46,112 --> 00:01:49,384
He felt the Scots were
excellent engineers. Bye.
51
00:01:49,387 --> 00:01:51,062
Dr. Linkletter,
52
00:01:51,065 --> 00:01:52,234
what can I do for you?
53
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:54,789
Hello, Mrs. Cooper. I just
wanted to let you know,
54
00:01:54,792 --> 00:01:57,262
with Dr. Sturgis away, I'll be available
55
00:01:57,265 --> 00:01:59,109
should Sheldon need anything.
56
00:01:59,112 --> 00:02:03,462
Oh, that is very comforting
to know. Thank you so much.
57
00:02:03,465 --> 00:02:05,988
His well-being is important to me,
58
00:02:05,991 --> 00:02:08,774
as was made abundantly clear by my boss.
59
00:02:08,777 --> 00:02:12,609
Okay, well, we are truly grateful.
60
00:02:12,612 --> 00:02:15,117
Now, I'm not terribly
experienced around children.
61
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,207
If he needs to use the
restroom, I don't have to
62
00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:19,507
go in with him, do I?

Bless us, Lord, for the
food we are about to receive,
69
00:02:40,862 --> 00:02:42,557
and bless the hands that prepared it.
70
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,210
And with school starting tomorrow,
71
00:02:44,213 --> 00:02:46,039
please watch over our children.
72
00:02:46,042 --> 00:02:47,747
Pastor Jeff already covered this.
73
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:49,837
- He did?
- Yeah, we're good. Amen.
74
00:02:49,839 --> 00:02:52,231
ALL: Amen.
75
00:02:52,233 --> 00:02:53,623
Can I take your truck tomorrow?
76
00:02:53,625 --> 00:02:55,712
Well, I think you're riding with me.
77
00:02:55,714 --> 00:02:57,992
Sorry, I'm taking Missy to school,
78
00:02:57,995 --> 00:03:00,169
and Meemaw's taking Sheldon.
79
00:03:00,172 --> 00:03:02,694
- Well, can I at least drive?
- Sure.
80
00:03:02,697 --> 00:03:04,590
While you hide in the back under a tarp?
81
00:03:04,593 --> 00:03:07,463
Stop praying for him and
focus on the other two.
82
00:03:07,465 --> 00:03:10,062
Sheldon, good news.
83
00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:11,945
Dr. Linkletter was calling to say
84
00:03:11,948 --> 00:03:14,664
that while you're at
school, if you need anything,
85
00:03:14,667 --> 00:03:16,140
you can go to him.
86
00:03:16,143 --> 00:03:18,386
Starting college and
you need a babysitter.
87
00:03:18,389 --> 00:03:19,475
That's funny.
88
00:03:19,477 --> 00:03:21,234
I don't need a babysitter.
89
00:03:21,237 --> 00:03:25,448
Dr. Linkletter is just around
in case there's a problem.
90
00:03:25,451 --> 00:03:27,451
- Like if he needs a new diaper?
- Ha!
91
00:03:27,454 --> 00:03:30,289
- Enough.
- Can we please have a nice dinner?
92
00:03:30,292 --> 00:03:33,684
We could. But you're the one
who wants to eat as a family.
93
00:03:33,687 --> 00:03:35,750
Don't pray for any of 'em.
94
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:38,772
[knock on door]
95
00:03:38,775 --> 00:03:41,496
- Dr. Linkletter.
- Sheldon.
96
00:03:41,499 --> 00:03:43,412
How wonderfully early it is to see you.
97
00:03:43,414 --> 00:03:45,893
If you've come by for
a snack, I picked you up
98
00:03:45,895 --> 00:03:47,590
some crackers shaped like fish.
99
00:03:47,592 --> 00:03:49,101
I just wanted to let you know
100
00:03:49,104 --> 00:03:50,765
that I don't need you to babysit me.
101
00:03:50,768 --> 00:03:52,376
I'm perfectly self-reliant.
102
00:03:52,379 --> 00:03:55,032
Excellent. I'm not very
comfortable around children,
103
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:56,730
even with your level of maturity.
104
00:03:56,733 --> 00:03:58,515
How old are you? Six? Seven?
105
00:03:58,518 --> 00:03:59,733
Eleven.
106
00:03:59,735 --> 00:04:01,148
I see.
107
00:04:01,151 --> 00:04:02,933
Then it's good I kept
the receipt for this
108
00:04:02,936 --> 00:04:05,850
bottle of bubbles shaped like a bear.
109
00:04:05,853 --> 00:04:07,461
I should get going.
110
00:04:07,464 --> 00:04:09,978
My philosophy class
starts in a few minutes.
111
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:13,242
Ah, yes, the great
thinkers. Socrates, Plato.
112
00:04:13,244 --> 00:04:17,205
Speaking of which, I
got you some Play-Doh.
113
00:04:22,312 --> 00:04:24,253
I figure you don't
want me to walk you in?
114
00:04:24,255 --> 00:04:25,820
I've trained you well.
115
00:04:25,822 --> 00:04:28,649
Do you have everything
you need? Lunch money?
116
00:04:28,651 --> 00:04:30,390
- Yep.
- Locker combination?
117
00:04:30,392 --> 00:04:31,796
Right here.
118
00:04:31,799 --> 00:04:34,796
- Why is it there?
- Writing on my hand is so fifth grade.
119
00:04:34,799 --> 00:04:36,613
Of course.
120
00:04:36,615 --> 00:04:38,789
Okay, I'm gonna go in.
121
00:04:38,791 --> 00:04:41,357
I assume you don't want a hug?
122
00:04:41,359 --> 00:04:43,144
Make it quick.
123
00:04:44,928 --> 00:04:46,582
- That's enough.
- Okay.
124
00:04:48,236 --> 00:04:50,716
- Wish me luck.
- Good luck.
125
00:04:55,112 --> 00:04:57,114
♪
126
00:05:05,731 --> 00:05:07,296
Hey.
127
00:05:07,298 --> 00:05:08,421
Hey, Brenda.
128
00:05:08,424 --> 00:05:09,951
She didn't want you to walk her in?
129
00:05:09,953 --> 00:05:11,692
No. How about Billy?
130
00:05:11,694 --> 00:05:12,823
Oh, I walked him in.
131
00:05:12,825 --> 00:05:13,999
Found his homeroom.
132
00:05:14,001 --> 00:05:15,696
Explained that "homeroom" is different
133
00:05:15,698 --> 00:05:17,437
than his room at home.
134
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:19,047
Still not sure he gets it.
135
00:05:19,049 --> 00:05:21,164
- Tough day.
- Yeah.
136
00:05:21,167 --> 00:05:23,124
You want to get some coffee?
137
00:05:23,127 --> 00:05:26,434
I was thinking vodka,
but coffee will do.
138
00:05:29,252 --> 00:05:33,320
ADULT SHELDON: I've always considered
myself a collector of knowledge.
139
00:05:33,323 --> 00:05:36,210
My mind is like the
warehouse at the end of
140
00:05:36,213 --> 00:05:38,143
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
141
00:05:38,146 --> 00:05:41,993
But instead of artifacts,
it's just facts. [chuckles]
142
00:05:41,996 --> 00:05:44,562
And now that I was a
full-time college student,
143
00:05:44,565 --> 00:05:47,336
my collection was about
to grow exponentially.
144
00:05:47,338 --> 00:05:49,619
ERICSON: Welcome to
the world of philosophy.
145
00:05:49,622 --> 00:05:53,171
Most college courses are
about teaching you things
146
00:05:53,174 --> 00:05:55,301
that you don't know. Here,
147
00:05:55,303 --> 00:05:58,652
I am going to teach you
that you don't even know
148
00:05:58,654 --> 00:06:00,915
what you think you know.
149
00:06:00,917 --> 00:06:02,252
Oh, boy.
150
00:06:09,012 --> 00:06:11,752
The Chinese philosopher
Chuang Tzu believed
151
00:06:11,754 --> 00:06:14,581
it was possible he didn't
really know anything
152
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:16,265
because he might just be a butterfly
153
00:06:16,268 --> 00:06:20,021
dreaming that he was a philosopher.
154
00:06:20,023 --> 00:06:21,609
- Yes.
- He wasn't a butterfly.
155
00:06:21,612 --> 00:06:23,401
Well, how do you know?
156
00:06:23,404 --> 00:06:25,484
The butterfly brain doesn't
contain enough neurons
157
00:06:25,487 --> 00:06:27,811
to generate a complex dream.
Plus, you referred to him
158
00:06:27,813 --> 00:06:29,421
as Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu,
159
00:06:29,424 --> 00:06:31,616
and not Chinese butterfly Chuang Tzu.
160
00:06:31,619 --> 00:06:34,820
- You must be Sheldon Cooper.
- Yes, ma'am.
161
00:06:34,823 --> 00:06:37,585
Very well, Mr. Cooper, how do you know
162
00:06:37,588 --> 00:06:40,136
you're not just dreaming
butterflies can't dream?
163
00:06:40,138 --> 00:06:41,355
Because I'm awake.
164
00:06:41,357 --> 00:06:43,139
Or are you dreaming you're awake?
165
00:06:43,141 --> 00:06:46,055
You can see I'm awake and
you can hear me talking.
166
00:06:46,057 --> 00:06:48,292
Yeah... I don't know.
167
00:06:48,295 --> 00:06:51,940
I saw some pretty trippy stuff
at a Grateful Dead concert.
168
00:06:51,943 --> 00:06:54,454
The drummer turned into
a tap-dancing walrus
169
00:06:54,457 --> 00:06:55,978
and floated away.
170
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:59,504
So we can't really
trust our senses, can we?
171
00:06:59,506 --> 00:07:00,766
We can validate them by
172
00:07:00,768 --> 00:07:02,796
comparing them with other observers.
173
00:07:02,799 --> 00:07:04,509
Mm, but that would mean
174
00:07:04,511 --> 00:07:06,460
we have to hear what they say,
175
00:07:06,463 --> 00:07:10,558
which requires... trusting our senses.
176
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,518
Do you see a problem with
your argument, Mr. Cooper?
177
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,433
I could concentrate
better if you weren't
178
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,391
flashing your toes at me.
179
00:07:17,393 --> 00:07:19,567
Billy's a sweet kid.
180
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:23,136
But these middle schoolers
are gonna eat him alive.
181
00:07:23,138 --> 00:07:26,557
You don't know that.
Maybe they'll be nice.
182
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,402
Boy, if we were in
middle school right now,
183
00:07:28,404 --> 00:07:30,752
I'd have your head in a toilet so fast.
184
00:07:30,754 --> 00:07:33,842
If you want, I can ask
Missy to hang out with him,
185
00:07:33,844 --> 00:07:35,540
make sure things go okay.
186
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:37,803
- Absolutely not.
- Why?
187
00:07:37,805 --> 00:07:40,338
That girl is cute and sassy,
188
00:07:40,341 --> 00:07:42,547
and has a real chance at being popular.
189
00:07:42,549 --> 00:07:45,637
Do not take that from her. Or me.
190
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,378
Popularity isn't that important.
191
00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:50,729
It is the most important.
192
00:07:50,731 --> 00:07:53,312
Look at us. I'm miserable.
193
00:07:53,315 --> 00:07:55,864
You're always worried about something.
194
00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:59,520
I'd like one girl around here to win.
195
00:07:59,522 --> 00:08:02,349
I'm not always worried.
196
00:08:02,351 --> 00:08:04,585
It's Sheldon's first day of college,
197
00:08:04,588 --> 00:08:06,291
and you're not freaking out?
198
00:08:06,294 --> 00:08:08,136
- It's on my mind.
- Mm.
199
00:08:08,139 --> 00:08:11,227
But he's been looking forward
to this for a long time.
200
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:13,362
I'm sure he's having a wonderful day.
201
00:08:13,365 --> 00:08:15,955
She displayed complete
contempt for science.
202
00:08:15,958 --> 00:08:17,783
She claimed that knowledge was a myth,
203
00:08:17,786 --> 00:08:20,019
and then she told the class
they could take their shoes off.
204
00:08:20,021 --> 00:08:21,586
Some of them did.
205
00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:23,588
Luckily we've established
you're a mature young man
206
00:08:23,590 --> 00:08:25,415
capable of figuring this out on his own,
207
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:27,417
so, go get 'em, sport.
208
00:08:27,419 --> 00:08:29,648
But as a man of science,
aren't you offended by this?
209
00:08:29,651 --> 00:08:31,552
Sheldon, this is a college campus.
210
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:33,336
You come across all sorts.
211
00:08:33,338 --> 00:08:35,164
Anarchists, communists, vegans.
212
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:37,324
There's a fella in the religion
department that believes God is
213
00:08:37,326 --> 00:08:39,864
two women, and their
names are Wendy and Claire.
214
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:42,215
But to say nobody
actually knows anything,
215
00:08:42,217 --> 00:08:44,565
how could she know that?
It's a contradiction.
216
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:46,765
How about I blow some
bubbles out of a bear's head
217
00:08:46,768 --> 00:08:48,134
and we call it a day?
218
00:08:48,136 --> 00:08:50,005
I don't know how I'm
going to last all semester
219
00:08:50,007 --> 00:08:51,659
with this freewheeling hippy.
220
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,618
Sheldon, I don't know what to tell you.
221
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:55,794
If you're that unhappy,
just drop the class.
222
00:08:55,796 --> 00:08:59,145
Of course. Drop the class.
223
00:08:59,147 --> 00:09:01,060
This is college. I can do that.
224
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:02,838
- There you go.
- Thank you.
225
00:09:02,841 --> 00:09:04,884
You're welcome. From now on,
226
00:09:04,887 --> 00:09:07,196
I'm coming to you with all my problems.
227
00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:08,678
Oh...
228
00:09:13,815 --> 00:09:17,382
"The statement on the other
side of this sign is true."
229
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:20,208
_
230
00:09:20,211 --> 00:09:21,254
Ugh.
231
00:09:21,256 --> 00:09:23,648
Professor Ericson?
232
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:25,190
ERICSON: Come in.
233
00:09:27,092 --> 00:09:30,262
Mr. Cooper, welcome. How can I help you?
234
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:31,901
I would like to drop your class.
235
00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:33,875
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
236
00:09:33,877 --> 00:09:36,617
I enjoyed our discussion
about skepticism.
237
00:09:36,619 --> 00:09:37,877
And butterflies.
238
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,532
I'm a scientist, and I don't find
239
00:09:39,535 --> 00:09:41,535
those types of questions worth my time.
240
00:09:41,537 --> 00:09:43,885
And butterflies are just
worms that can chase you.
241
00:09:43,887 --> 00:09:46,671
[laughs softly]
The questions of philosophy
242
00:09:46,674 --> 00:09:48,542
are extremely challenging.
243
00:09:48,544 --> 00:09:50,675
People have spent 2,000-plus years
244
00:09:50,677 --> 00:09:52,807
trying to solve them without success.
245
00:09:52,809 --> 00:09:57,246
So if you feel like giving
up, I don't blame you.
246
00:09:57,248 --> 00:09:58,770
I'm not giving up.
247
00:09:58,772 --> 00:10:00,554
I'm saying they're not important.
248
00:10:00,556 --> 00:10:03,557
Okay, so what is important?
249
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,690
The acquisition of factual knowledge.
250
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:08,182
And how do you know if
something is factual?
251
00:10:08,185 --> 00:10:10,348
You test it and see if it holds true.
252
00:10:10,351 --> 00:10:12,826
And how do you know that that's factual?
253
00:10:12,829 --> 00:10:15,830
[strains]: You're doing it again.
254
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:18,180
Maybe you're dreaming I'm doing it.
255
00:10:18,182 --> 00:10:19,573
How was your first day?
256
00:10:19,575 --> 00:10:21,706
Infuriating.
257
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:23,272
How was your first day?
258
00:10:23,274 --> 00:10:24,709
So good.
259
00:10:24,711 --> 00:10:26,103
How was your first day?
260
00:10:30,419 --> 00:10:34,116
And then she said, "Maybe
you're just dreaming."
261
00:10:34,119 --> 00:10:36,589
- Are you gonna drop the class?
- Yes,
262
00:10:36,592 --> 00:10:38,636
but only after I systematically destroy
263
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,726
her half-baked arguments
in front of everybody else.
264
00:10:41,728 --> 00:10:43,721
It's good to have goals.
265
00:10:43,724 --> 00:10:45,632
And at lunch, an eighth-grade boy said,
266
00:10:45,635 --> 00:10:48,341
and I quote, "I like Funyuns, too."
267
00:10:48,343 --> 00:10:49,734
Wow.
268
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:50,954
I know.
269
00:10:54,158 --> 00:10:56,088
I stopped at the library
today and picked up
270
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:58,890
books on epistemology,
Descartes's dream argument
271
00:10:58,893 --> 00:11:01,528
and the foundations of scientific logic.
272
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:03,095
Do you know what she's going to do?
273
00:11:03,097 --> 00:11:04,455
Rue the day?
274
00:11:04,458 --> 00:11:06,097
The day, the night. If it's rue-able,
275
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,041
she's going to rue it.
276
00:11:08,044 --> 00:11:09,970
And in math class, I sit right between
277
00:11:09,973 --> 00:11:11,407
Heather M. and Heather B.
278
00:11:11,409 --> 00:11:13,323
It's nice you're with your friends.
279
00:11:13,326 --> 00:11:15,802
It's more than nice.
All notes go through me.
280
00:11:15,805 --> 00:11:17,762
That's power.
281
00:11:17,764 --> 00:11:20,503
♪ She's my cherry pie ♪
282
00:11:20,505 --> 00:11:23,330
♪ Cool drink of water,
such a sweet surprise ♪
283
00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:26,127
♪ Tastes so good, make a grown man cry ♪
284
00:11:26,130 --> 00:11:30,494
♪ Sweet cherry pie, yeah. ♪
285
00:11:35,738 --> 00:11:37,607
ADULT SHELDON: The good
name of Lady Science
286
00:11:37,609 --> 00:11:41,263
had been besmirched and it was
up to me to defend her honor.
287
00:11:41,265 --> 00:11:43,937
I had a lot of ground
to cover in one night.
288
00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:46,965
Thankfully, 11 years of my
family's incessant yammering
289
00:11:46,967 --> 00:11:49,968
had given me an extraordinary
ability to focus.
290
00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:51,970
But I want to watch Fresh Prince.
291
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:53,510
Too bad. The game is on.
292
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:55,538
There's always a game on. Dad?
293
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:57,080
Sorry, kid, it's the Cowboys.
294
00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:58,454
But it's the season premiere.
295
00:11:58,456 --> 00:11:59,891
Fresh Prince's family gets tickets
296
00:11:59,893 --> 00:12:01,507
to the People's Choice Awards.
297
00:12:01,517 --> 00:12:02,619
I'm not missing it.
298
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:04,243
"Present investigations aim to establish
299
00:12:04,245 --> 00:12:05,940
a constructional system.
300
00:12:05,942 --> 00:12:08,856
That is, an epistemic,
logical system of objects..."
301
00:12:08,858 --> 00:12:10,815
My show's only 30 minutes.
302
00:12:10,817 --> 00:12:12,588
Yours is three hours.
303
00:12:12,591 --> 00:12:13,905
But yours don't have them cheerleaders
304
00:12:13,907 --> 00:12:15,752
- jumping up and down.
- Mom?
305
00:12:15,755 --> 00:12:19,300
What if we don't turn the TV on
at all and we play a board game?
306
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:20,346
- Come on.
- Seriously?
307
00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:21,376
SHELDON: "So that a genealogy
308
00:12:21,378 --> 00:12:22,971
of concepts results, in which each one
309
00:12:22,974 --> 00:12:24,278
has its definite place."
310
00:12:24,281 --> 00:12:25,671
MARY: Shelly, it's your turn.
311
00:12:25,674 --> 00:12:27,222
Shelly?
312
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:28,963
What's happening?
313
00:12:28,965 --> 00:12:30,737
We're playing a board game.
314
00:12:30,740 --> 00:12:31,836
Before dinner?
315
00:12:31,838 --> 00:12:33,881
You ate dinner.
316
00:12:33,883 --> 00:12:34,926
[doorbell rings]
317
00:12:34,928 --> 00:12:36,188
Did I like it?
318
00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:37,929
You said the meat loaf was dry.
319
00:12:37,931 --> 00:12:39,323
That sounds right.
320
00:12:42,656 --> 00:12:45,831
- Hi, Brenda.
- I just wanted to see how today went.
321
00:12:45,834 --> 00:12:47,830
Oh. [clears throat]
322
00:12:50,204 --> 00:12:52,026
[groans] Not great.
323
00:12:52,029 --> 00:12:53,944
Sheldon is already in some sort of fight
324
00:12:53,947 --> 00:12:55,947
with his philosophy professor.
325
00:12:55,949 --> 00:12:58,710
- About what?
- Currently, he's plotting
326
00:12:58,713 --> 00:13:00,952
"the destruction of her worldview,"
327
00:13:00,954 --> 00:13:03,283
- whatever that means.
- Sounds exciting.
328
00:13:03,286 --> 00:13:06,218
It's mostly him reading a
book and giggling to himself.
329
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:08,046
How about Billy?
330
00:13:08,048 --> 00:13:09,134
Not much better.
331
00:13:09,136 --> 00:13:10,674
- Oh.
- In Spanish class,
332
00:13:10,677 --> 00:13:13,398
every time the teacher said
"Sí,"Billy said, "See what?"
333
00:13:13,401 --> 00:13:15,140
Oh, Billy.
334
00:13:15,142 --> 00:13:18,354
I know, but if I don't
laugh about it I'll cry.
335
00:13:18,357 --> 00:13:19,612
I'm sorry.
336
00:13:19,615 --> 00:13:21,026
How did Missy do?
337
00:13:21,029 --> 00:13:23,247
I think Missy had the
best day of her life.
338
00:13:23,250 --> 00:13:25,802
[exhales]: Oh, thank
God. Tell me everything.
339
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:29,981
Well, in one class she
sits between her friends,
340
00:13:29,983 --> 00:13:31,846
so the note-passing goes through her.
341
00:13:31,849 --> 00:13:34,711
She's gonna get the dirt
firsthand. That's huge.
342
00:13:34,714 --> 00:13:37,335
And then an eighth-grade
boy talked to her at lunch.
343
00:13:37,338 --> 00:13:39,077
- On the first day?
- Uh-huh.
344
00:13:39,079 --> 00:13:41,007
She's gonna be prom
queen. I'm calling it.
345
00:13:41,010 --> 00:13:42,726
- [laughs]
- That's fun,
346
00:13:42,729 --> 00:13:45,257
but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
347
00:13:45,259 --> 00:13:47,476
Mary, it'll be a miracle
348
00:13:47,478 --> 00:13:49,783
if Billy even makes it to high school.
349
00:13:49,785 --> 00:13:51,265
Don't take this away from me.
350
00:13:52,683 --> 00:13:55,118
Missy is gonna look
so cute in that tiara.
351
00:13:55,121 --> 00:13:56,137
Yes, she is.
352
00:13:56,139 --> 00:13:57,922
That's the Fresh Prince.
353
00:13:57,924 --> 00:13:59,532
He's from West Philadelphia.
354
00:13:59,534 --> 00:14:01,014
Born and raised.
355
00:14:02,972 --> 00:14:04,929
ADULT SHELDON: It was past my bedtime,
356
00:14:04,931 --> 00:14:06,931
but who could sleep with a page-turner
357
00:14:06,933 --> 00:14:10,151
like Meditations on First
Philosophy by René Descartes?
358
00:14:10,153 --> 00:14:12,327
Descartes was more
than just a philosopher.
359
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:14,329
He was also the mathematician
360
00:14:14,331 --> 00:14:16,592
who invented the Cartesian plane.
361
00:14:16,594 --> 00:14:18,464
If you've ever enjoyed that X squared
362
00:14:18,466 --> 00:14:20,683
plus Y squared equals K is a circle,
363
00:14:20,685 --> 00:14:23,276
you can say merci beaucoup
to Monsieur Descartes.
364
00:14:30,102 --> 00:14:31,710
Hello?
365
00:14:31,713 --> 00:14:33,478
Bonjour, Sheldon.
366
00:14:33,481 --> 00:14:35,158
Bonjour, René Descartes.
367
00:14:35,161 --> 00:14:36,902
Please, sit.
368
00:14:40,488 --> 00:14:44,055
I see you're reading a book
on philosophy by Aristotle.
369
00:14:44,057 --> 00:14:47,536
I am. And it is garbage!
370
00:14:47,538 --> 00:14:51,716
Aristotle is, how you say, a punk!
371
00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:57,633
I'm also having trouble
with my philosophy professor.
372
00:14:57,635 --> 00:15:00,112
She says that we don't
know if science is true.
373
00:15:00,115 --> 00:15:01,985
Mon dieu!
374
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:04,683
Without science, we know nothing.
375
00:15:04,686 --> 00:15:08,079
No different than the dogs
and kitties in the street
376
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:11,125
wandering around in a fog of ignorance
377
00:15:11,127 --> 00:15:13,182
with the woofings and the meowings.
378
00:15:13,185 --> 00:15:14,999
So how do I get her to
understand that science
379
00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:18,174
can form true beliefs about
reality as it really is?
380
00:15:18,177 --> 00:15:20,305
Ah, young man.
381
00:15:20,308 --> 00:15:23,094
You are you asking
what is the foundation
382
00:15:23,096 --> 00:15:24,737
of knowledge, huh?
383
00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:27,729
- Yes.
- Well, hold on to your chapeau.
384
00:15:27,732 --> 00:15:28,932
I'm not wearing a chapeau.
385
00:15:28,935 --> 00:15:30,799
It is just an expression.
386
00:15:30,802 --> 00:15:32,059
Sorry.
387
00:15:32,061 --> 00:15:34,061
All knowledge must rest
388
00:15:34,063 --> 00:15:39,068
on a foundation that we can
never doubt and that is...
389
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:41,768
Of course.
390
00:15:41,771 --> 00:15:43,796
ERICSON: So we learned
that the theory of knowledge
391
00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:45,986
poses some very serious problems.
392
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:48,336
Excuse me, Professor Ericson.
393
00:15:48,338 --> 00:15:51,861
I've done a little reading since
last we spoke, and I'm prepared
394
00:15:51,863 --> 00:15:55,039
to show you that everything
we know about science is true.
395
00:15:55,041 --> 00:15:56,823
Well, I am all ears.
396
00:15:56,825 --> 00:15:59,916
You said I couldn't truly know anything,
397
00:15:59,919 --> 00:16:01,567
but there is one thing that I do know.
398
00:16:01,569 --> 00:16:04,057
If I question, I must think;
399
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:06,049
if I think, I must exist.
400
00:16:06,056 --> 00:16:11,830
Cogito, ergo sum: I
think, therefore I am.
401
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,537
You're right.
402
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:17,278
You're darn right I'm right.
403
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,542
Guys, g-give it up for Sheldon.
404
00:16:20,544 --> 00:16:22,111
[applause]
405
00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:25,401
Now for a job well done...
406
00:16:26,858 --> 00:16:29,507
...here is a flower
full of sweet nectar.
407
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:31,075
Why would I want that?
408
00:16:31,077 --> 00:16:33,729
Because you're a butterfly
and this is just your dream.
409
00:16:33,732 --> 00:16:35,526
I'm not a butterfly.
410
00:16:35,529 --> 00:16:37,906
Are you sure? [laughs]
411
00:16:37,909 --> 00:16:39,259
[laughter echoing]
412
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:42,129
[gasps]
413
00:16:42,131 --> 00:16:45,741
[sighs] It was a dream.
414
00:16:45,743 --> 00:16:46,960
Oh, no.
415
00:16:46,962 --> 00:16:49,528
[grunts] Help!
416
00:16:49,530 --> 00:16:51,002
I'm a butterfly!
417
00:16:51,005 --> 00:16:53,901
Nothing I know is real!
Everything is a dream!
418
00:16:53,904 --> 00:16:55,558
Missy, help!
419
00:16:58,144 --> 00:17:00,231
No!
420
00:17:00,234 --> 00:17:01,758
[gasps]
421
00:17:03,353 --> 00:17:04,570
Missy,
422
00:17:04,573 --> 00:17:07,067
am I awake or is this a dream?
423
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:09,127
Shut up, dingus.
424
00:17:09,130 --> 00:17:10,290
Okay, I'm awake.
425
00:17:16,687 --> 00:17:19,018
Shelly, you feeling all right?
426
00:17:19,021 --> 00:17:20,368
Yes.
427
00:17:20,371 --> 00:17:21,901
How come you're not dressed?
428
00:17:21,904 --> 00:17:23,251
Why should I?
429
00:17:23,254 --> 00:17:25,838
'Cause you're gonna be late for school.
430
00:17:25,841 --> 00:17:28,667
- I'm not going to school.
- Why not?
431
00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:30,432
Because I don't know what's real.
432
00:17:30,435 --> 00:17:31,744
What does that mean?
433
00:17:31,747 --> 00:17:33,377
Dreaming and waking,
434
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:37,077
life and death,
philosophers and butterflies,
435
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,733
they're all the same.
436
00:17:39,736 --> 00:17:42,171
Nothing matters.
437
00:17:42,174 --> 00:17:45,785
That's an interesting
way of looking at things.
438
00:17:45,788 --> 00:17:47,746
George?
439
