1
00:00:02,132 --> 00:00:05,005
Previously onYoung Sheldon...Which bowtie says "mature enough
2
00:00:05,048 --> 00:00:06,702
"to be in college,
but whimsical enough
3
00:00:06,745 --> 00:00:08,269
"to discuss which came first,
4
00:00:08,312 --> 00:00:10,053
the Higgs field or the photon"?
5
00:00:10,097 --> 00:00:12,142
They both say "weird
kid who eats alone."
6
00:00:12,186 --> 00:00:14,753
Hello, Dr. Sturgis.
This is Mary Cooper.
7
00:00:14,797 --> 00:00:18,409
Did you know there's a,
supercollider being built
8
00:00:18,453 --> 00:00:20,890
in Waxahachie, Texas?No.
9
00:00:20,933 --> 00:00:23,066
I've taken a job there.
10
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:26,069
Hold on.
You're not gonna be around
11
00:00:26,113 --> 00:00:27,375
when Sheldon starts college?
12
00:00:27,418 --> 00:00:29,551
That's a great question.
13
00:00:29,594 --> 00:00:31,074
No.
14
00:00:33,207 --> 00:00:34,599
Since everyone
15
00:00:34,643 --> 00:00:36,645
is going back to school
tomorrow, let's finish up
16
00:00:36,688 --> 00:00:39,909
with a back-to-school prayer.
What?
17
00:00:39,952 --> 00:00:41,693
Does this prayer just
apply to middle school,
18
00:00:41,737 --> 00:00:44,305
or is it appropriate
for the college-bound?
19
00:00:44,348 --> 00:00:45,697
It's for everyone.
20
00:00:45,741 --> 00:00:48,091
But thank you once again
for reminding us
21
00:00:48,135 --> 00:00:49,397
you're starting college.
22
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,834
I don't mind. You've
got a lot on your plate.
23
00:00:51,877 --> 00:00:53,488
Just pray.
24
00:00:53,531 --> 00:00:56,839
Dear Heavenly Father,
as we return to school,
25
00:00:56,882 --> 00:00:58,101
we look to your eternal...
26
00:00:58,145 --> 00:00:59,102
Billy, it's not the pledge.
27
00:01:02,627 --> 00:01:04,716
It is clear that we cannot
expect the cooperation...
28
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,938
Normally I don't like facial
hair, but Spock makes it work.
29
00:01:08,981 --> 00:01:10,374
Hello?Sheldon,
30
00:01:10,418 --> 00:01:12,333
it's Dr. Linkletter.
31
00:01:12,376 --> 00:01:14,465
I'm watching Star Trek:
The Original Series.
32
00:01:14,509 --> 00:01:17,294
I'm sorry, I'm not up
on my cartoons.
33
00:01:17,338 --> 00:01:19,122
It's not a cartoon.
It's a live-action
34
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:20,515
science fiction show.
35
00:01:20,558 --> 00:01:22,299
Although there is one called
Star Trek:
36
00:01:22,343 --> 00:01:23,648
The Animated Series.
37
00:01:23,692 --> 00:01:25,215
I believe you.
38
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:27,609
I was wondering if I can
speak with your mommy.
39
00:01:27,652 --> 00:01:28,740
Sure. Hold on.
40
00:01:28,784 --> 00:01:31,308
Mom, Dr. Linkletter's
on the phone.
41
00:01:31,352 --> 00:01:32,527
While we wait,
here's a fun fact.
42
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:34,311
In the animated series,
43
00:01:34,355 --> 00:01:36,139
Kukulkan was played by
James Doohan.
44
00:01:36,183 --> 00:01:38,446
Hello?James Doohan played Scotty
45
00:01:38,489 --> 00:01:39,838
on Star Trek:
The Original Series.
46
00:01:39,882 --> 00:01:41,623
Sheldon, I've got it.
47
00:01:41,666 --> 00:01:44,234
He tried several accents before
settling on Scottish.
48
00:01:44,278 --> 00:01:47,019
Sheldon, hang up.SHELDON: Okay.
49
00:01:47,063 --> 00:01:49,544
He felt the Scots were
excellent engineers. Bye.
50
00:01:49,587 --> 00:01:51,459
Dr. Linkletter,
51
00:01:51,502 --> 00:01:52,895
what can I do for you?
52
00:01:52,938 --> 00:01:55,158
Hello, Mrs. Cooper.
I just wanted to let you know,
53
00:01:55,202 --> 00:01:57,421
with Dr. Sturgis away,
I'll be available
54
00:01:57,465 --> 00:01:59,554
should Sheldon need anything.
55
00:01:59,597 --> 00:02:03,906
That is very comforting
to know. Thank you so much.
56
00:02:03,949 --> 00:02:06,430
His well-being is important
to me,
57
00:02:06,474 --> 00:02:09,216
as was made abundantly clear
by my boss.
58
00:02:09,259 --> 00:02:12,871
Okay, well, we are truly
grateful.
59
00:02:12,915 --> 00:02:15,570
Now, I'm not terribly
experienced around children.
60
00:02:15,613 --> 00:02:17,659
If he needs to use the restroom,
I don't have to
61
00:02:17,702 --> 00:02:19,878
go in with him, do I?
62
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:41,248
Bless us, Lord, for the food
we are about to receive,
63
00:02:41,291 --> 00:02:42,945
and bless the hands
that prepared it.
64
00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:44,512
And with school
starting tomorrow,
65
00:02:44,555 --> 00:02:46,340
please watch over
our children.
66
00:02:46,383 --> 00:02:47,906
Pastor Jeff already
covered this.
67
00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:49,995
He did?Yeah, we're good. Amen.
68
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,389
Amen.
69
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:53,782
Can I take your truck tomorrow?
70
00:02:53,825 --> 00:02:55,871
Well, I think you're
riding with me.
71
00:02:55,914 --> 00:02:58,352
Sorry, I'm taking
Missy to school,
72
00:02:58,395 --> 00:03:00,528
and Meemaw's
taking Sheldon.
73
00:03:00,571 --> 00:03:03,052
Well, can I at least drive?Sure.
74
00:03:03,095 --> 00:03:04,749
While you hide in the back
under a tarp?
75
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:07,622
Stop praying for him
and focus on the other two.
76
00:03:07,665 --> 00:03:10,755
Sheldon, good news.
77
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:12,409
Dr. Linkletter was
calling to say
78
00:03:12,453 --> 00:03:15,456
that while you're at school,
if you need anything,
79
00:03:15,499 --> 00:03:16,805
you can go to him.
80
00:03:16,848 --> 00:03:18,546
Starting college and
you need a babysitter.
81
00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:19,634
That's funny.
82
00:03:19,677 --> 00:03:21,679
I don't need a babysitter.
83
00:03:21,723 --> 00:03:25,901
Dr. Linkletter is just around
in case there's a problem.
84
00:03:25,944 --> 00:03:27,903
Like if he needs
a new diaper?
Ha!
85
00:03:27,946 --> 00:03:30,601
Enough.
Can we please have
a nice dinner?
86
00:03:30,645 --> 00:03:33,996
We could. But you're the one
who wants to eat as a family.
87
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:36,564
Don't pray for any of 'em.
88
00:03:39,131 --> 00:03:41,656
Dr. Linkletter.
Sheldon.
89
00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:43,571
How wonderfully early it is
to see you.
90
00:03:43,614 --> 00:03:46,051
If you've come by for a snack,
I picked you up
91
00:03:46,095 --> 00:03:47,749
some crackers shaped like fish.
92
00:03:47,792 --> 00:03:49,577
I just wanted to let you know
93
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:51,187
that I don't need you
to babysit me.
94
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,797
I'm perfectly self-reliant.
95
00:03:52,841 --> 00:03:55,452
Excellent. I'm not very
comfortable around children,
96
00:03:55,496 --> 00:03:57,149
even with your level
of maturity.
97
00:03:57,193 --> 00:03:58,934
How old are you?
Six? Seven?
98
00:03:58,977 --> 00:03:59,891
Eleven.
99
00:03:59,935 --> 00:04:01,545
I see.
100
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:03,330
Then it's good I kept
the receipt for this
101
00:04:03,373 --> 00:04:06,246
bottle of bubbles
shaped like a bear.
102
00:04:06,289 --> 00:04:07,856
I should get going.
103
00:04:07,899 --> 00:04:10,337
My philosophy class starts
in a few minutes.
104
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:13,601
Yes, the great thinkers.
Socrates, Plato.
105
00:04:13,644 --> 00:04:17,605
Speaking of which,
I got you some Play-Doh.
106
00:04:23,437 --> 00:04:24,612
I figure you don't
want me to walk you in?
107
00:04:24,655 --> 00:04:26,178
I've trained you well.
108
00:04:26,222 --> 00:04:29,007
Do you have everything
you need? Lunch money?
109
00:04:29,051 --> 00:04:30,748
Yep.
Locker combination?
110
00:04:30,792 --> 00:04:32,533
Right here.
111
00:04:32,576 --> 00:04:35,318
Why is it there?Writing on my hand
is so fifth grade.
112
00:04:35,362 --> 00:04:36,972
Of course.
113
00:04:37,015 --> 00:04:39,148
Okay, I'm gonna go in.
114
00:04:39,191 --> 00:04:41,716
I assume you don't
want a hug?
115
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:43,544
Make it quick.
116
00:04:45,328 --> 00:04:46,982
That's enough.Okay.
117
00:04:48,636 --> 00:04:51,116
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
118
00:05:06,131 --> 00:05:07,655
Hey.
119
00:05:07,698 --> 00:05:08,917
Hey, Brenda.
120
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,310
She didn't want you
to walk her in?
121
00:05:10,353 --> 00:05:12,050
No. How about Billy?
122
00:05:12,094 --> 00:05:13,182
I walked him in.
123
00:05:13,225 --> 00:05:14,357
Found his homeroom.
124
00:05:14,401 --> 00:05:16,054
Explained that "homeroom"
is different
125
00:05:16,098 --> 00:05:17,795
than his room at home.
126
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,406
Still not sure he gets it.
127
00:05:19,449 --> 00:05:21,408
Tough day.Yeah.
128
00:05:21,451 --> 00:05:23,366
You want to get some coffee?
129
00:05:23,410 --> 00:05:26,717
I was thinking vodka,
but coffee will do.
130
00:05:29,633 --> 00:05:33,420
I've always considered myself
a collector of knowledge.
131
00:05:33,463 --> 00:05:36,379
My mind is like the warehouse
at the end of
132
00:05:36,423 --> 00:05:38,642
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
133
00:05:38,686 --> 00:05:41,906
But instead of artifacts,
it's just facts.
134
00:05:41,950 --> 00:05:44,474
And now that I was
a full-time college student,
135
00:05:44,518 --> 00:05:47,695
my collection was about to
grow exponentially.
136
00:05:47,738 --> 00:05:50,350
Welcome to the world
of philosophy.
137
00:05:50,393 --> 00:05:53,744
Most college courses are about
teaching you things
138
00:05:53,788 --> 00:05:55,659
that you don't know. Here,
139
00:05:55,703 --> 00:05:59,010
I am going to teach you
that you don't even know
140
00:05:59,054 --> 00:06:01,273
what you think you know.
141
00:06:01,317 --> 00:06:02,318
Boy.
142
00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:12,110
The Chinese philosopher
Chuang Tzu believed
143
00:06:12,154 --> 00:06:14,939
it was possible he didn't
really know anything
144
00:06:14,983 --> 00:06:16,376
because he might just be
a butterfly
145
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:20,380
dreaming that he was
a philosopher.
146
00:06:20,423 --> 00:06:21,511
He wasn't a butterfly.
147
00:06:21,555 --> 00:06:23,426
Well, how do you know?
148
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:25,385
The butterfly brain
doesn't contain enough neurons
149
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:28,170
to generate a complex dream.
Plus, you referred to him
150
00:06:28,213 --> 00:06:29,301
as Chinese philosopher
Chuang Tzu,
151
00:06:29,345 --> 00:06:31,565
and not Chinese butterfly
Chuang Tzu.
152
00:06:31,608 --> 00:06:34,568
You must be Sheldon Cooper.Yes, ma'am.
153
00:06:34,611 --> 00:06:37,397
Very well, Mr. Cooper,
how do you know
154
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,095
you're not just dreaming
butterflies can't dream?
155
00:06:40,138 --> 00:06:41,313
Because I'm awake.
156
00:06:41,357 --> 00:06:43,098
Or are you dreaming
you're awake?
157
00:06:43,141 --> 00:06:46,014
You can see I'm awake
and you can hear me talking.
158
00:06:46,057 --> 00:06:47,885
Yeah... I don't know.
159
00:06:47,929 --> 00:06:50,975
I saw some pretty trippy stuff
at a Grateful Dead concert.
160
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,414
The drummer turned into
a tap-dancing walrus
161
00:06:54,457 --> 00:06:55,937
and floated away.
162
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:59,462
So we can't really trust
our senses, can we?
163
00:06:59,506 --> 00:07:00,724
We can validate them by
164
00:07:00,768 --> 00:07:02,334
comparing them
with other observers.
165
00:07:02,378 --> 00:07:04,467
But that would mean
166
00:07:04,511 --> 00:07:06,338
we have to hear what they say,
167
00:07:06,382 --> 00:07:10,517
which requires...
trusting our senses.
168
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,476
Do you see a problem
with your argument, Mr. Cooper?
169
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,391
I could concentrate better
if you weren't
170
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,349
flashing your toes at me.
171
00:07:17,393 --> 00:07:19,526
Billy's a sweet kid.
172
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:23,094
But these middle schoolers
are gonna eat him alive.
173
00:07:23,138 --> 00:07:26,750
You don't know that.
Maybe they'll be nice.
174
00:07:26,794 --> 00:07:28,360
Boy, if we were in
middle school right now,
175
00:07:28,404 --> 00:07:30,711
I'd have your head
in a toilet so fast.
176
00:07:30,754 --> 00:07:33,801
If you want, I can ask Missy
to hang out with him,
177
00:07:33,844 --> 00:07:35,498
make sure things go okay.
178
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:37,761
Absolutely not.Why?
179
00:07:37,805 --> 00:07:40,547
That girl is cute and sassy,
180
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,505
and has a real chance
at being popular.
181
00:07:42,549 --> 00:07:45,595
Do not take that from her.
Or me.
182
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,337
Popularity isn't that important.
183
00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:50,687
It is the mostimportant.
184
00:07:50,731 --> 00:07:53,124
Look at us.
I'm miserable.
185
00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:55,823
You're always worried
about something.
186
00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:59,479
I'd like one girl
around here to win.
187
00:07:59,522 --> 00:08:02,307
I'm not always worried.
188
00:08:02,351 --> 00:08:04,353
It's Sheldon's first day
of college,
189
00:08:04,396 --> 00:08:06,529
and you're not freaking out?
190
00:08:06,573 --> 00:08:08,096
It's on my mind.
191
00:08:08,139 --> 00:08:11,186
But he's been looking forward
to this for a long time.
192
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:13,536
I'm sure he's having
a wonderful day.
193
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:16,452
She displayed complete contempt
for science.
194
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,062
She claimed that
knowledge was a myth,
195
00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:19,977
and then she told the class
they could take their shoes off.
196
00:08:20,021 --> 00:08:21,544
Some of them did.
197
00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:23,546
Luckily we've established
you're a mature young man
198
00:08:23,590 --> 00:08:25,374
capable of figuring this out
on his own,
199
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:27,376
so, go get 'em, sport.
200
00:08:27,419 --> 00:08:29,465
But as a man of science,
aren't you offended by this?
201
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,511
Sheldon, this is
a college campus.
202
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:33,295
You come across all sorts.
203
00:08:33,338 --> 00:08:35,123
Anarchists, communists, vegans.
204
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:37,473
There's a fella in the religion
department that believes God is
205
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:39,823
two women, and their names
are Wendy and Claire.
206
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:42,173
But to say nobody
actually knows anything,
207
00:08:42,217 --> 00:08:44,524
how could she know that?
It's a contradiction.
208
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:46,482
How about I blow some bubbles
out of a bear's head
209
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:48,092
and we call it a day?
210
00:08:48,136 --> 00:08:49,964
I don't know how I'm going
to last all semester
211
00:08:50,007 --> 00:08:51,618
with this freewheeling hippy.
212
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,576
Sheldon, I don't know
what to tell you.
213
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:55,752
If you're that unhappy,
just drop the class.
214
00:08:55,796 --> 00:08:59,103
Of course.
Drop the class.
215
00:08:59,147 --> 00:09:01,018
This is college.
I can do that.
216
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:03,194
There you go.
Thank you.
217
00:09:03,238 --> 00:09:05,240
You're welcome.From now on,
218
00:09:05,283 --> 00:09:07,155
I'm coming to you
with all my problems.
219
00:09:13,901 --> 00:09:17,382
"The statement on the other side
of this sign is true."
220
00:09:21,256 --> 00:09:23,606
Professor Ericson?
221
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:25,608
Come in.
222
00:09:27,436 --> 00:09:30,221
Mr. Cooper, welcome.
How can I help you?
223
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:31,962
I would like to drop your class.
224
00:09:32,006 --> 00:09:33,834
I'm sorry to hear that.
225
00:09:33,877 --> 00:09:36,576
I enjoyed our discussion
about skepticism.
226
00:09:36,619 --> 00:09:37,968
And butterflies.
227
00:09:38,012 --> 00:09:39,491
I'm a scientist,
and I don't find
228
00:09:39,535 --> 00:09:41,493
those types of questions
worth my time.
229
00:09:41,537 --> 00:09:43,844
And butterflies are just worms
that can chase you.
230
00:09:43,887 --> 00:09:46,455
The questions of philosophy
231
00:09:46,498 --> 00:09:48,500
are extremely challenging.
232
00:09:48,544 --> 00:09:50,633
People have spent
2,000-plus years
233
00:09:50,677 --> 00:09:52,766
trying to solve them
without success.
234
00:09:52,809 --> 00:09:57,205
So if you feel like giving up,
I don't blame you.
235
00:09:57,248 --> 00:09:58,728
I'm not giving up.
236
00:09:58,772 --> 00:10:00,512
I'm saying
they're not important.
237
00:10:00,556 --> 00:10:03,515
Okay, so what isimportant?
238
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,648
The acquisition
of factual knowledge.
239
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:08,346
And how do you know
if something is factual?
240
00:10:08,390 --> 00:10:10,522
You test it
and see if it holds true.
241
00:10:10,566 --> 00:10:12,786
And how do you know
that that's factual?
242
00:10:12,829 --> 00:10:15,789
You're doing it again.
243
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:18,139
Maybe you're dreaming
I'm doing it.
244
00:10:18,182 --> 00:10:19,531
How was your first day?
245
00:10:19,575 --> 00:10:21,664
Infuriating.
246
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:23,231
How was your first day?
247
00:10:23,274 --> 00:10:24,667
So good.
248
00:10:24,711 --> 00:10:26,103
How was your first day?
249
00:10:30,717 --> 00:10:34,372
And then she said,
"Maybe you're just dreaming."
250
00:10:34,416 --> 00:10:36,548
Are you gonna drop the class?Yes,
251
00:10:36,592 --> 00:10:38,594
but only after
I systematically destroy
252
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,684
her half-baked arguments
in front of everybody else.
253
00:10:41,728 --> 00:10:43,904
It's good to have goals.
254
00:10:43,947 --> 00:10:45,688
And at lunch,
an eighth-grade boy said,
255
00:10:45,732 --> 00:10:48,299
and I quote,
"I like Funyuns, too."
256
00:10:48,343 --> 00:10:49,692
Wow.
257
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:50,954
I know.
258
00:10:54,523 --> 00:10:56,046
I stopped at the library today
and picked up
259
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:58,788
books on epistemology,
Descartes's dream argument
260
00:10:58,832 --> 00:11:01,486
and the foundations
of scientific logic.
261
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:03,053
Do you know
what she's going to do?
262
00:11:03,097 --> 00:11:04,664
Rue the day?
263
00:11:04,707 --> 00:11:06,056
The day, the night.
If it's rue-able,
264
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,276
she's going to rue it.
265
00:11:08,319 --> 00:11:09,930
And in math class,
I sit right between
266
00:11:09,973 --> 00:11:11,366
Heather M. and Heather B.
267
00:11:11,409 --> 00:11:13,673
It's nice
you're with your friends.
268
00:11:13,716 --> 00:11:15,762
It's more than nice.
All notes go through me.
269
00:11:15,805 --> 00:11:17,720
That's power.
270
00:11:35,738 --> 00:11:37,566
The good name of Lady Science
271
00:11:37,609 --> 00:11:41,222
had been besmirched and it was
up to me to defend her honor.
272
00:11:41,265 --> 00:11:43,615
I had a lot of ground
to cover in one night.
273
00:11:43,659 --> 00:11:46,923
Thankfully, 11 years of
my family's incessant yammering
274
00:11:46,967 --> 00:11:49,926
had given me an extraordinary
ability to focus.
275
00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:51,928
But I want to watch
Fresh Prince.
276
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:53,756
Too bad. The game is on.
277
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,497
There's always a game on. Dad?
278
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:57,194
Sorry, kid, it's the Cowboys.
279
00:11:57,238 --> 00:11:58,413
But it's the season premiere.
280
00:11:58,456 --> 00:11:59,849
Fresh Prince's
family gets tickets
281
00:11:59,893 --> 00:12:01,242
to the People's
Choice Awards.
282
00:12:01,285 --> 00:12:02,765
I'm not missing it.
283
00:12:02,809 --> 00:12:04,201
"Present investigations
aim to establish
284
00:12:04,245 --> 00:12:05,899
"a constructional system.
285
00:12:05,942 --> 00:12:08,815
That is, an epistemic,
logical system of objects..."
286
00:12:08,858 --> 00:12:10,773
My show's only 30 minutes.
287
00:12:10,817 --> 00:12:12,732
Yours is three hours.
288
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:13,863
But yours don't have
them cheerleaders
289
00:12:13,907 --> 00:12:15,909
jumping up and down.
Mom?
290
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:19,260
What if we don't turn the TV on
at all and we play a board game?
291
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:20,304
Come on.Seriously?
292
00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:21,784
"So that a genealogy
293
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:22,829
"of concepts results,
in which each one
294
00:12:22,872 --> 00:12:24,134
has its definite place."
295
00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:25,527
Shelly, it's your turn.
296
00:12:25,570 --> 00:12:27,181
Shelly?
297
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:28,922
What's happening?
298
00:12:28,965 --> 00:12:30,924
We're playing a board game.
299
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:31,794
Before dinner?
300
00:12:31,838 --> 00:12:33,840
You ate dinner.
301
00:12:34,928 --> 00:12:36,146
Did I like it?
302
00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:37,887
You said the meat loaf was dry.
303
00:12:37,931 --> 00:12:39,323
That sounds right.
304
00:12:42,805 --> 00:12:45,939
Hi, Brenda.I just wanted to
see how today went.
305
00:12:50,204 --> 00:12:52,293
Not great.
306
00:12:52,336 --> 00:12:53,903
Sheldon is already
in some sort of fight
307
00:12:53,947 --> 00:12:55,905
with his philosophy professor.
308
00:12:55,949 --> 00:12:58,473
About what?Currently, he's plotting
309
00:12:58,516 --> 00:13:00,910
"the destruction
of her worldview,"
310
00:13:00,954 --> 00:13:03,434
whatever that means.Sounds exciting.
311
00:13:03,478 --> 00:13:06,176
It's mostly him reading a book
and giggling to himself.
312
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:08,004
How about Billy?
313
00:13:08,048 --> 00:13:09,092
Not much better.
314
00:13:09,136 --> 00:13:10,833
In Spanish class,
315
00:13:10,877 --> 00:13:12,966
every time the teacher said
"Sí,"Billy said, "See what?"
316
00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:15,098
Billy.
317
00:13:15,142 --> 00:13:18,841
I know, but if I don't
laugh about it I'll cry.
318
00:13:18,885 --> 00:13:20,016
I'm sorry.
319
00:13:20,060 --> 00:13:21,235
How did Missy do?
320
00:13:21,278 --> 00:13:23,454
I think Missy had
the best day of her life.
321
00:13:23,498 --> 00:13:25,761
: Thank God.
Tell me everything.
322
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:29,939
Well, in one class
she sits between her friends,
323
00:13:29,983 --> 00:13:32,028
so the note-passing
goes through her.
324
00:13:32,072 --> 00:13:34,901
She's gonna get the dirt
firsthand. That's huge.
325
00:13:34,944 --> 00:13:37,294
And then an eighth-grade boy
talked to her at lunch.
326
00:13:37,338 --> 00:13:39,035
On the first day?-
327
00:13:39,079 --> 00:13:40,863
She's gonna be prom queen.
I'm calling it.
328
00:13:40,907 --> 00:13:42,125
That's fun,
329
00:13:42,169 --> 00:13:45,215
but let's not
get ahead of ourselves.
330
00:13:45,259 --> 00:13:47,435
Mary, it'll be a miracle
331
00:13:47,478 --> 00:13:49,741
if Billy even makes it
to high school.
332
00:13:49,785 --> 00:13:51,265
Don't take this away from me.
333
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,225
Missy is gonna look so cute
in that tiara.
334
00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:56,096
Yes, she is.
335
00:13:56,139 --> 00:13:57,880
That's the Fresh Prince.
336
00:13:57,924 --> 00:13:59,490
He's from West Philadelphia.
337
00:13:59,534 --> 00:14:01,014
Born and raised.
338
00:14:02,972 --> 00:14:04,887
It was past my bedtime,
339
00:14:04,931 --> 00:14:06,889
but who could sleep
with a page-turner
340
00:14:06,933 --> 00:14:10,110
likeMeditations on First
Philosophy by René Descartes?
341
00:14:10,153 --> 00:14:12,286
Descartes was more
than just a philosopher.
342
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:14,288
He was also the mathematician
343
00:14:14,331 --> 00:14:16,551
who invented
the Cartesian plane.
344
00:14:16,594 --> 00:14:18,422
If you've ever enjoyed
that X squared
345
00:14:18,466 --> 00:14:20,642
plus Y squared
equals K is a circle,
346
00:14:20,685 --> 00:14:23,123
you can say merci beaucoup
to Monsieur Descartes.
347
00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:31,958
Hello?
348
00:14:32,001 --> 00:14:33,437
Bonjour, Sheldon.
349
00:14:33,481 --> 00:14:35,265
Bonjour, René Descartes.
350
00:14:35,309 --> 00:14:37,050
Please, sit.
351
00:14:40,488 --> 00:14:44,013
I see you're reading a book
on philosophy by Aristotle.
352
00:14:44,057 --> 00:14:47,495
I am. And it is garbage!
353
00:14:47,538 --> 00:14:51,716
Aristotle is,
how you say, a punk!
354
00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:57,592
I'm also having trouble
with my philosophy professor.
355
00:14:57,635 --> 00:15:00,247
She says that we don't know
if science is true.
356
00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:02,118
Mon dieu!
357
00:15:02,162 --> 00:15:04,642
Without science,
we know nothing.
358
00:15:04,686 --> 00:15:08,037
No different than the dogs
and kitties in the street
359
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:11,084
wandering around
in a fog of ignorance
360
00:15:11,127 --> 00:15:13,477
with the woofings
and the meowings.
361
00:15:13,521 --> 00:15:14,957
So how do I get her
to understand that science
362
00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:18,308
can form true beliefs
about reality as it really is?
363
00:15:18,352 --> 00:15:20,441
Young man.
364
00:15:20,484 --> 00:15:23,052
You are you asking
what is the foundation
365
00:15:23,096 --> 00:15:24,967
of knowledge?
366
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:28,101
Yes.Well, hold on to your chapeau.
367
00:15:28,144 --> 00:15:29,102
I'm not wearing a chapeau.
368
00:15:29,145 --> 00:15:31,104
It is just an expression.
369
00:15:31,147 --> 00:15:32,018
Sorry.
370
00:15:32,061 --> 00:15:34,020
All knowledge must rest
371
00:15:34,063 --> 00:15:39,068
on a foundation that we can
never doubt and that is...
372
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:42,028
Of course.
373
00:15:42,071 --> 00:15:43,290
So we learned
that the theory of knowledge
374
00:15:43,333 --> 00:15:45,945
poses some
very serious problems.
375
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:48,295
Excuse me, Professor Ericson.
376
00:15:48,338 --> 00:15:51,820
I've done a little reading since
last we spoke, and I'm prepared
377
00:15:51,863 --> 00:15:54,997
to show you that everything
we know about science is true.
378
00:15:55,041 --> 00:15:56,781
Well, I am all ears.
379
00:15:56,825 --> 00:16:00,089
You said I couldn't
truly know anything,
380
00:16:00,133 --> 00:16:01,525
but there is one thing
that I do know.
381
00:16:01,569 --> 00:16:04,615
If I question, I must think;
382
00:16:04,659 --> 00:16:06,356
if I think, I must exist.
383
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,014
Cogito, ergo sum:
I think, therefore I am.
384
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,496
You're right.
385
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:17,237
You're darn right I'm right.
386
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,501
Guys, g-give it up for Sheldon.
387
00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:25,245
Now for a job
well done...
388
00:16:27,116 --> 00:16:29,466
...here is a flower
full of sweet nectar.
389
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:31,033
Why would I want that?
390
00:16:31,077 --> 00:16:34,080
Because you're a butterfly
and this is just your dream.
391
00:16:34,123 --> 00:16:35,777
I'm not a butterfly.
392
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:37,866
Are you sure?
393
00:16:42,131 --> 00:16:45,700
It was a dream.
394
00:16:45,743 --> 00:16:46,918
No.
395
00:16:46,962 --> 00:16:49,486
Help!
396
00:16:49,530 --> 00:16:51,358
I'm a butterfly!
397
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:54,100
Nothing I know is real!
Everything is a dream!
398
00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:55,797
Missy, help!
399
00:16:58,582 --> 00:17:00,628
No!
400
00:17:03,674 --> 00:17:04,849
Missy,
401
00:17:04,893 --> 00:17:05,807
am I awake
402
00:17:05,850 --> 00:17:07,026
or is this a dream?
403
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:09,245
Shut up, dingus.
404
00:17:09,289 --> 00:17:10,290
Okay, I'm awake.
405
00:17:16,687 --> 00:17:19,690
Shelly, you feeling all right?
406
00:17:19,734 --> 00:17:21,040
Yes.
407
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:22,345
How come you're not dressed?
408
00:17:22,389 --> 00:17:23,694
Why should I?
409
00:17:23,738 --> 00:17:26,088
'Cause you're gonna be
late for school.
410
00:17:26,132 --> 00:17:28,917
I'm not going to school.Why not?
411
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,093
Because I don't know
what's real.
412
00:17:31,137 --> 00:17:32,051
What does that mean?
413
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:33,704
Dreaming and waking,
414
00:17:33,748 --> 00:17:37,404
life and death,
philosophers and butterflies,
415
00:17:37,447 --> 00:17:40,059
they're all the same.
416
00:17:40,102 --> 00:17:42,496
Nothing matters.
417
00:17:42,539 --> 00:17:46,108
That's an interesting way
of looking at things.
418
00:17:46,152 --> 00:17:48,110
George?
419
00:17:54,551 --> 00:17:57,511
