Anything else
you'd like to add?

I read this magazine.

Why won't you compete
with me?

Because it's fun
watching you get upset.

What's fun about it?

Everything.

I've never been good at sharing.

- I had to share a womb...
- Ow.

Ow.

Come on, George.
One more.

Feel the burn,
big boy.

Feel the burn.

But when it came to academics,
the spotlight was all mine.

Sheldon, having you here
has been a real boon

to this university.

I did love basking in its glow.

So we could
really use your help

in raising the school's
profile even higher.

Of course.
My intellect is at your service.

Excellent.

There is another
young physics prodigy

we want you
to help us recruit.

Her name is Paige Swanson.

Episode Title: "A Second Prodigy
and the Hottest Tips for Pouty Lips"

Why would you want
Paige to come here?

You know her?

Oh, I know her.

Ah. Wonderful.

Just tell her how much
you love the school

and convince her to enroll.

But you don't need
another child prodigy.

You've already got me.

And you have been...
so great.

Just imagine what it'd be like
having two of you.

Well, why would you want
two of me?

I mean, I've heard even
one of me is a lot to handle.

Well, you're not afraid of
a little competition, are you?

From Paige? Hardly.

But I should warn you,
she can be very difficult.

Well, luckily I've had some
practice with that lately.

And how do you handle it?

Usually I, uh,
play to their egos.

You know, make them feel like
the smartest person in the room.

And they fall for that?

Well...

Not everyone's as smart as you,
Sheldon.

Okay, have a great day.
Love you.

Love you, too.

What are you doing?

I learned it in baseball.

When you don't want the other
team to see what you're saying.

It's okay to love your mom.

At home.
Here, you get the hand.

Hey, Mary.

Oh, Brenda.

Love the haircut.

Thank you.

I was always afraid
to go short,

but I figured I already lost
a husband.

What's a few inches off the top?

Well, you look like
a new person.

I feel like a new person.

I just needed to do
something for me.

It was either this
or get a tattoo on my thigh.

I think you made
the right choice.

Well, I guess.

I mean, who's seeing me naked
these days?

Well, I wouldn't know.

Hey, Mary.
What are you doing here?

I don't know.
I was just out running errands

and thought maybe
I'd make an appointment.

Well, chair's free now.
Come on, have a seat.

Oh, um, o-okay.

Okay. What can I do for you?

Well, I guess I'm just
looking for a change.

Uh-oh.

What's "uh-oh"?

Well, nothing, it's just,
when the women come in

looking for a change,
it's usually relationship trouble.

Oh...

Well, not me. I'm fine.

Okay, but I got a perm
and a divorce in the same week

and I only regret
one of them.

Maybe this is a bad idea.
I should come back.

No, no, no, no.
Come on, you're already here.

Either way,
there's nothing wrong

in a little change.

Okay. Uh...

What do you think
I should do?

Well, when you look
at yourself in the mirror,

who do you see?

I see a mom and... a wife.

Okay, that's the hair
you already got.

Who do you want to see?

Oh, um...

Maybe we start with the nails.

- That's a great idea.
- Yeah.

So now I'm supposed to talk
Paige into coming to my school.

Maybe it'll be nice
to have somebody

your own age
to hang out with.

Sure, so the next time
someone says,

"Hey, look what the kid
genius did," people will say,

"Which one?
There's so many."

I thought you and that
little girl were friends.

Missy's her friend.
I'm her rival.

Well, I think you're getting
worked up about nothing.

Maybe she won't even decide
to come to this school.

Oh, I see
where you're going.

I should convince her
it's a terrible school.

That's brilliant.

That's not where I was going.

Too late, I'm already there.

What are you doing?

Look at me
and tell me what you see.

What?

Did you get a haircut?
Looks great.

No, I didn't get a haircut.

'Cause you don't need one.
Looking good, babe.

Lord.

Just tell me what you see
when you look at me.

I don't know what's going on,
but this feels like a trap.

I went to the salon
to get a haircut.

Knew it, looking foxy.

But I didn't get one because
I don't know what I want.

Oh.

You know who's got good hair?
Charlene Tilton.

Who?

That little blonde one
on Dallas.

People make a fuss
over Victoria Principal,

but Charlene Tilton...

You're not helping me,
George.

I knew this was a trap.

I must tell you
that Sheldon was very excited

to hear that you might
be joining us.

Well, isn't he sweet?

He's a peach.

All right, I'm here.
Hello, hello.

Hello.

Hi, Sheldon.
I'm so excited for you

to show me around campus today.

The only reason
I'm doing it is because...

He's excited to do it,
I'm excited he's doing it.

- Are you excited?
- Sure.

Everyone's excited. Yay.

Come on, let's go.

You and me,
together again.

It just feels right,
doesn't it?

There's the cafeteria.

If you like tuna salad
with hair in it.

Over there is the quad.
It's a nice place to relax,

if you like getting hit in
the head with Frisbees.

- I know what you're doing.
- No, you don't.

You have nothing
to worry about.

I don't want to come
to this school.

I'm just looking at it
to make my mom happy

since it's close to home.

Well, that's wonderful news.

Besides, I've got offers
from way better universities.

What do you mean?
What's wrong with this school?

It's fine.
It's just nowhere near as good

as Harvard or Columbia.

It is too.

If you like a substandard
science department

and hair in your tuna.

"Sad Eyes" by Robert John
playing...

Paige had
made me look at East Texas Tech

in a whole new light.

♪ Looks like it's over

♪ You knew I couldn't stay

♪ Why must you look at me
that way? ♪

♪ It's over

♪ Sad eyes

Of course.

♪ You knew there'd come a day

♪ When we would have
to say goodbye. ♪

She said she doesn't even want
to come to this university.

Well, I hope you
convinced her otherwise.

She said she'd rather go
to Harvard or Columbia.

T-Those are all
perfectly fine schools,

but we have a lot
to offer here, too.

I told her that, but she said
I was settling

because I want to live
close to my mommy.

Well, that's ridiculous.

That's why I came here
to tell on her.

Well, the important thing
is you're here and you're happy.

I thought I was,
but why does Paige

get to go to a better school
than me?

Hey, I know
what'll solve your problem.

Convince Paige to come here.

Yeah. Wait.

Sometimes I think George
doesn't even see me.

And it's not just him.

My daughter's
embarrassed of me,

my boys think all I'm good for
is food and clean clothes.

You start feeling
like a ghost, right?

- Yes.
- I get it, I'm a mom.

So did that feeling
ever go away?

Yeah.

I realized I was doing
everything for everyone else,

and I didn't have
anything left for me.

So, here we are.

When I was younger,
I used to love making my own clothes.

- Mm-hmm.
- I always thought I'd do

something with that.

Maybe I should get back
to it.

You definitely should.

Okay.

Okay. So,
what are we thinking?

Actually, I don't think
I need a haircut anymore.

Thank you so much.

Oh, my pleasure.

I got to start
charging by the hour.

What are you doing?

I'm sewing.

Why?

Because it's a thing
I like to do.

I ain't never seen you sew.

Well, you're seeing it now.

What you making?

A dress for Missy.

Did you lose your job?

No.

Did Dad lose his job?

It's about me doing
something for myself.

All right, don't get sassy.

Hey.

What's going on in here?

She's making clothes
for Missy.

Uh-oh. Did you lose your job?

No.

She's doing something for her.

I don't get it, either.

Ooh, maybe I'll transfer

to the University of Zurich.

I thought
you liked your school.

I did, until Paige ruined it.

Why do you care
what she thinks?

I don't.

Sure sounds like you do.

I can't help it.
She makes me crazy.

Then stop thinking about her.

I wish I could.

Ooh, maybe you have
a crush on her.

That's ridiculous.

I don't know.

I don't.

You care what she thinks,
you can't stop talking about her.

I don't have a crush on her!

Are you sure?

I don't know!

Okay, here we go.

"Is it a crush?
Take this juicy quiz and find out.

Do you think about them
when they're not around?"

Lately, yes.

"Are you jealous when other
people give them attention?"

I suppose I am.

"Do you get nervous
when you're around them?"

How could I not? Last time
she punched me, in the face.

That was so great.

"Do you talk about them
all the time?"

That's a big fat yes.

"Do you dream about them?"

Oh, dear.

Just last night I had
a nightmare that she solved

the Einstein field equations
ahead of me.

That's five out of five.

"You're crushing harder
than Zack on Kelly Kapowski."

Uh, what does that mean?

Trust me, that's a big deal.

My sister had
gotten into my head, but I needed

a more reliable opinion
than a magazine that included

the Hottest Tips
for Pouty Lips.

Georgie?

What?

Can I ask you a question
about girls?

Go ahead, but I find them
very confusing.

Missy thinks
I have a crush on Paige.

Do you?

I don't know,
but I know that I don't want to.

Well, you don't get to choose.

It's just something
you feel.

Did you have a crush
on your girlfriend?

Yeah, I guess.

How did you know
when you did?

Well, one day she came to school
in these soccer shorts,

and that was it.

What happened,
you played soccer with her?

No, dummy.

Then what was the
significance of the shorts?

I don't think
I can help you.

Fine, I'll ask Dad.

Good luck. The only thing
he has a crush on is beer.

I wasn't
getting the help I needed,

so I turned
to the smartest resource I knew.

Love is a funny thing.

They say, "The heart wants
what the heart wants,"

but I think it should be,

"The limbic system wants
what the limbic system wants."

Finally, someone's making sense.

Well, not to brag, but when
it comes to unrequited love,

I'm kind of an expert.

Well, when I talk to Paige,
all she does is drive me crazy.

There's a thin line between
affection and aggravation.

The Roman poet Catullus said,

"I hate and I love
and I know not why."

I'm not sure
what to make of that.

Perhaps it'd be
more useful in Latin.

"Odi et amo..."

I just want to know
if I have a crush.

Well, does your
heart rate elevate

when you're in her presence?

I suppose.

Does your stomach flutter?

Yes.

Sounds like your limbic system
might be doing its thing.

Oh, dear.

- Hey.
- Hey.

That's a lot of fabric.

Oh, it's not just fabric.

I also got pattern books
and an accessory kit.

Can I ask how much
that all cost?

Well, it's hard to say,
because in the long run

I'm gonna save us money.

Well, what did it cost
in the short run?

I don't know,
a hundred dollars?

A hundred dollars?
What is wrong with you?

Why would you say that?

That is a good question.

I mean,
what is wrong with you?

Why is it okay
when you say it?

'Cause clearly there's
something wrong with you.

So you think it's fine
that she spent

a hundred dollars on thread?

I think it's fine that she has
something that makes her happy.

What are you looking for?

Anybody but you.

Look, I get it.

One time, Darlene got all
into scrapbooking.

Overnight, our den became
her scrapbooking room.

What did you do?

I said, "Whatever makes
you happy, dear,"

and made love to her
in the scrapbooking room.

Ha.

Maybe if you had three kids,
you'd worry more about money.

Oh, we can't wait
to have babies.

I just love the way
their little heads smell.

Does anybody in here
want to be my friend?

Anybody?

Look, Sheldon, you're not gonna
convince me to come here.

You're wasting your time.

I'm afraid we have
a bigger problem.

What are you talking about?

I'm a scientist,
and I have to follow the data

wherever it leads,
whether I like it or not.

Get to the point.

It seems
I have a crush on you.

What?

I'm as surprised
as you are.

But I have all the symptoms
according to both Dr. Sturgis

and the editors
of Sassymagazine.

Uh, Sheldon,

I'm really glad
that you told me this,

'cause...

the truth is,
I feel the same way about you.

You do?

I mean, I've been
trying to hide it,

but now I don't have to anymore.

This is such a relief.

Oh, dear.
This is new information.

I had been operating
under the assumption

that my crush was
unrequited.

Oh, it's requited, Sheldon.
It's very requited.

Hmm.

What are you doing?

We have a crush
on each other.

So?

Well, now we have to kiss.

We do?

I mean, it's where
the data has led us.

I suppose.

Okay.

Now close your eyes
and pucker up.

This might tickle.

What's happening?
Are we kissing?

You bet.

How was that?

I didn't feel anything romantic.

Hmm. Me, either.

I guess it wasn't
a crush after all.

I guess not.

Hmm. That's a relief.

It is.

I went to
three classes before I figured it out.

Good thing I look spiffy
in a mustache.

Hi.

Oh.
Three days in a row.

If you were a man,
I'd think you was in love with me.

Well, this time I'm actually
gonna get a haircut.

I had a little accident.

Uh-oh, what happened?

Well, I was sewing
and got to daydreaming...

I love it.

You can make all my
clothes from now on.

I'm-a wear this to the prom.

I was wrong, honey,
you really are good at this.

Boy, am I dumb.

George!

George! Help!

What?

- What's the matter?
- My hair got tangled in the machine.

So pull it out.

Don't you think
I thought of that?!

Well, what do you want me
to do?

All right, don't move.

And here we are.

Okay.
Let's get that hat off

and see
what we're dealing with.

- I don't want to.
- Oh, come on.

I've been doing this
a long time.

I promise you
I've seen worse.

Oh...

That's not
bad at all.
