ADULT SHELDON: I never cared
for The Game of Life.

(kids shouting)

Marriage, children,
careers, houses.

What kind of life is that?

In my game,
the milestones are...

papers published,
degrees earned,

Nobel Prizes won.

And in my version,
I am dominating.

But you knew that.

Ooh, and instead of cars,

you'd ride around in a train.
(train whistle blows)

Honestly,
why aren't they making this?

Yes!
Hello, Sam.

You seem agitated.

I just got accepted
into my summer program.

Oh, summer school. I didn't
realize you were struggling.

But way to not give up.

No.

It's at Columbia.

This is gonna
look really good

on my grad school application.

Grad school?

Those applications are
a year away.

You have to start early.

It's so competitive
these days.

I think I'll be fine.

Where are you hoping to go?

Caltech.
Sheldon,

that's one of the
toughest programs

to get into in the world.

I know, they deserve the best.

Well, if I were you,
I would start

building up my résumé now.

Uh, my résumé's pretty good.

4.0, child prodigy.

Beloved wherever I go.

Are you on any published papers?

No.

Have you presented
at any conferences?

No.

Have you been involved
in any outside projects?

I did develop
a grant research database.

Oh, well that's something.

It failed spectacularly.

Well, hey...

at least you're beloved.

(train whistle blows)

CHIP:
Now I hope y'all enjoyed
those sunny skies.

Because we have
some weather headed our way...

Want some?

No, I'm good.

You sure?

Yeah, I slept
almost four hours last night.

I feel like a tiger.

Good for you.

Brushed my hair,
I brushed my teeth,

I may even
go outside today.

Wow, an 80% chance of rain.
Never mind.

Probably from all these clouds
over here...

MEEMAW:
Who is this guy?

Where's perky Heather
with today's weather?

I don't know, I think
the sports guy's filling in.

This storm is just gonna
make a full-court press.

And just run right on
past Houston,

right on past Lufkin,

all the way over
to Medford over here...

He ain't even
pointin' at Medford.

That's a drive
that Jack Nicklaus

would be proud of right there.

I used to do that job,
you know.

It's not as easy
as you'd think.

You got to look forward,
but point backward

while reading the script.

All with sunshine
in your voice.

I could actually hear
the sunshine in your voice.

Thanks.

(CeeCee crying)

Now back to CeeCee
in the nursery

with screaming.
(groans)

CHIP:
And that's the weather.

You're late.

Sorry,
I ran into Sam.

Bright girl.
She's going places.

Specifically the physics
department at Columbia.

Oh, she got in, fantastic.
Mm-hmm.

I know she was hoping
to spice up

her applications.

Well, I like to think
that I'm all the spice

my applications will need.

You're not.

What are you saying?

Actually, uh...

Hold on,
should I be trying to beef up

my grad school applications?

The competition is fierce.

It takes a lot to stand out.

You're my advisors,
why didn't you

advise me of this?

Sheldon, if I could
offer you some advice...

No thank you.

Sheldon, I have
a recommendation for you.

I have one for you.

Trim your nose hair.

Do you remember that?

I do. It looked like a spider
was living up there.

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Oh, just looking through
some of my old videotapes.

Oh, cool.

Wait, you didn't find
any of my tapes, did you?

What are your tapes?

Nothing.

Well, mine are from
when I was a weather girl.

Whatcha need 'em for?

Well, the local station's
looking.

I'm gonna apply.

But you're a mom now.

Yeah, so?

Well, I'm just sayin'
don't you kind of have

your hands full with CeeCee?

Well, there's a lot of
family around to help.

Well, I know, but...

And I was always gonna
go back to work.

If it's about money,

we're good.

You live in a garage.

It ain't a garage
if there ain't a car in it.

Yeah, it is.

And it's not about money,
it's about my life.

I want a career.

Well, I-I happen to think
motherhood is a career.

Hmm. What about fatherhood?

You have a job.

That's different.
Why?

Because.

There's lots of reasons.

Oh, okay, so you just get
to have a job and a life,

and I have to stay
home with the baby?

Or I have to have a job

and you get to stay home
with the baby.

It's all
about perspective.

SHELDON:
Yes, is this

the Columbia
summer science honors program?

Excellent.

My name is Sheldon Cooper,
perhaps you've heard of me.

Well, now you have.

Anyways, it's recently
come to my attention

that you could be an important
step in my career advancement.

So, good news, I'm available.

Yes, I understand
I've missed the deadline,

but I'm sure
you can make an exception.

But I'm Sheldon Cooper.

And apparently Doctors
Linkletter and Sturgis were

aware that I already
should have been focusing

on my applications.

And they didn't say anything
to you?

Well, they did, but I don't
come off well in that story.

Shelly, how bad could it be?

You started college
when you were 11.

Well, it was impressive
when I was little and cute.

But now that I'm old and cute,
it's just not the same thing.

Well, just 'cause
you look older,

doesn't mean
you're any less special.

Of course.

It's your fault.
What?

Well, you've been saying
I'm special my whole life,

so now I'm conditioned
to expect the world

to cater to me
instead of taking initiative.

But you are special, sweetie.

You just can't turn it off,
can you?

(crickets chirping)

She's changed and napping.

You washed your hands, right?

Shelly, you want
some mashed potatoes?

See, there you go again,

bringing the mashed potatoes
to me

when I should be going
to the mashed potatoes.

Fine.

What's goin' on?

Years of coddling
have made me complacent,

and now it may cost me my chance

to get into grad school
at Caltech.

I've been sayin' that
since you were born.

And yet you did
nothing to stop her?

If it helps,
I always thought you sucked.

MARY:
Missy.

I talked to Meemaw.
She said if you

come back to work at the video
store, you can bring the baby.

What? I thought
you wanted a job.

No, I said
I wanted a career.

Oh, are you thinkin'

about going back
to work already?

Yeah.

I mean, it's a little earlier

than I thought,
but an opportunity

came up and I'm going for it.

See? Initiative.
Her parents kicked her out,

and look at that gumption.

So what job you goin' for?

Channel 7's looking
for a new weather girl.

Oh, yeah,
she said she quit

because she was
getting married.

Rumor is she got knocked up.
(chuckles)

Which is exciting.

The interview's on Thursday.

What?

You already applied?

I thought we were
gonna talk about it.

We did talk about it.
I said I was gonna

send in a tape
and then I sent it in.

Who's gonna watch CeeCee?

Well, I was hoping

her family would help out.

Of course.

I mean, I do work.

I work, too, George.

We work.

They got a point.

Uh, is the point

that your mom is
a working mother?

Well, I didn't work
when my kids were babies.

That's true, she was
a stay-at-home coddler.

Okay, now you're
being obnoxious.

No one wants to hear
you talk, ass face.

Thanks, I appreciate the help,
but let's keep it clean.

Butt wad?

Better.

Well, that's a look.

That's also a look.

I can't find anything
to wear for my interview.

Well, let's see.

Hmm.

That's pretty cute.

"Can't find" was code

for "can't fit into."

Don't be so hard on yourself, honey.

You just had a baby.

I'll make sure
to tell them that.

Apparently everyone loves
a working mother.

Is that code for something?

Yeah, your family sucks.

Ooh, sounds like
I missed a good dinner.

Am I a bad mom
because I want a career?
Hell no!

And you're teachin' your
daughter that she can grow up

to do something
more than raise kids.

Yeah!

And you're gonna go in there

and you're gonna get this job.

Yeah!

But not in that.

Yeah.

I'm waitin'.
For what?

The "I told you so."

'Cause I coddled

Sheldon and apparently
ruined his life.

Oh.

I'm not gonna say that.

I mean, you did coddle him
and I did tell ya--

All right,
I told you so.

Thanks for not sayin' it.

Well, what does he know?

He's just a dumb teenager.

I guess it is normal
for teenagers

to blame their parents
for stuff.

Sheldon's normal.

That's a shocker.

Great, the one
normal thing he does

is blame me.
(chuckles)
Someday

his kids are gonna tell him
he's ruinin' their lives.

You think?

If he has 'em,
they're gonna say it.

So probably not.

ADULT SHELDON:
Joke's on him.

I did have kids.

And joke's on me.

They say it all the time.

(door opens)

Good morning.

Oh, you're out and about early.

Yeah, got a lot going on today.

Connie's taking me out shopping
and then to the salon

to get ready for my interview. Nice.

A little mommy-daughter day?

Daddy-daughter day.
Here ya go.

I have work.

Well, I like to think
fatherhood is a full-time job.

How am I gonna feed her?

I don't have the...
you know.

Formula's in the bag.

Tag, you're it.

Bye, CeeCee.

(door closes)

Well, looks like
it's just me and you.

Let me give you the tour.

That's Axl Rose.

He's awesome.

That's the weight bench.

That's where Daddy
gets ripped.

Yeah.
And that's the sink

your mom totally peed in once.

It's true.

I know, it's true.

Ooh, Volvo-- safe and flashy.

Like me. Sheldon...

I haven't had my coffee yet.

I thought you
might say that.

Thank you.
I'm not a coffee drinker.

I hope you like seven sugars.

(coughs)

So what's so important
it got you outside?

I had an idea that I think
might be beneficial

to both the university and me.

An exclusive summer program led

by a prestigious scientist
of my choosing.

I've got an idea.

Apply to a school
that already has it,

get in, and go there.

Well, to be honest,

with my current résumé,
I may not get in anywhere,

which is why we need
a program like this.

Sheldon, we don't have the time
or the resources

to create
a brand-new summer program.

Oh, that's just sleepy talk.
Take a few more sips,

let that sugar kick in.

The answer is no.

I knew I should have put
whiskey in that coffee.

(games dinging)

Whose baby?

Mine.

And you brought her
to a gambling room?

Why not? There's flashin'
lights and fun noises.

It's basically Chuck E. Cheese.

Can I touch her head for luck?

No.

Come on, I just washed my hands.

Make it quick.

Come on, baby.

Uncle Wade needs a win.

All right, that's enough.

(beeping, dinging)

That's what I'm talkin' about!

I told you babies is good luck.

Can I touch her head, too?

All right, no one else is
touchin' my baby's head...

for free.

How much?

Five bucks.

Worth it. Sold.

(door slams)
MEEMAW:
Hey, dummy.

We need to talk.

If it's about CeeCee
being here, I can explain.

Where is she?

WADE:
Right here.

(whispers):
Really?

It's fine.

He's got, like, 15 grandkids.

We'll get back to that.

I have spent my day

listening to Mandy
bitch about you.

Well, I don't suppose
you stuck up for me?

No.

If you really want
to be with that girl,

you will not be the one
to stand in her way.

I'm not trying to.

I just want to do
what's best for CeeCee.

Obviously.

Don't you think she deserves

a mom who's home with her?

I think she deserves
a mom who's happy

and supported by her dad.

Huh.

Why is that woman
touchin' her head?

I'll handle it. Hey!

You got to pay for that.

(sighs)
Come on, Cooper.

See? He's been here
since this morning.

He won't leave.

What do you want me to do?
Get him to leave.

Oh, good, you're both here.

This will go faster
with three of us.

Now, do it!
Give him the boot.

(laughs)

Trying to solve
unified field theory?

Yes. Who needs
a summer program

if you can solve what
Albert Einstein couldn't.

Let's see Caltech
say no to this.

Sheldon, you're not
gonna solve this

in an afternoon.
Or ever.

Well, I need to do something
to stand out.

I think you're putting
too much pressure

on this summer program.

You can apply next year.

I can't wait a whole
nother year.

I'll fall even further behind.

And then when I'm
applying to Columbia,

Sam will be using
her letter of recommendation

to get into Caltech, and then
when I apply to Caltech,

they'll say, "Oh, you're
from East Texas Tech, too.

"Well, you must know Sam, she's
been here a year longer than you

and you'll never catch up."

I think you need to calm down.

I can't calm down.
I have to keep pushing myself

or I'll fall farther and
farther behind until I'm a...

aging professor
in a small university

with nothing to show
for my work.

Ouch, I think
he's talking about you.

I think he's talking about us.

No.
I'm wasting

too much time sleeping at night.

In fact,
where's the coffee machine?

Perhaps it is time I start
chasing the caffeine dragon.

Sheldon, listen to us.
Why should I?

You let this happen to me.

You failed as my mentors.

What are you doing?!

You're still the student,
this is still my office,

and it's time for you to leave.

I'm afraid he's right.

(Mandy gasps)

There she is.

Hi!

Um, why does she
smell like smoke?

Oh, she hung out with me
in the gambling room.

What?

She was a hit. Everybody
said she was good luck.

Okay, so I-I guess it went well?

It did.

So, if you get that job,

I'm all for it.

(CeeCee fussing)

Okay, good.

What's wrong?

Today was the longest
I've been away from her,

and it was awful.

So you don't want the job?

I-I don't know.

I think you should
give it a shot.

Really?
Well, you were
all excited about it.

And if you get the job,
you can still say no.

Yeah, that's a good point.

I'd love to see you on TV.

Aw.

Then I can say
I slept with that girl on TV.

Okay, well...

♪ Raindrops are
falling on my head ♪

♪ And just like the guy ♪

♪ Whose feet are
too big for his bed ♪

♪ Nothing seems to fit ♪
(door opens, closes)

♪ Those raindrops... ♪

Why are you
listening to this?

I was upset, and this was
the most angst-filled song

I could find
in Mom's record collection.

What's wrong?

These are grown-up problems.

You wouldn't understand.

Okay, bye.

I was the youngest student

at the university, and now...

I thought I wouldn't
understand your problems.

Well, you're all I've got.

I always assumed

that I'd be the youngest
student in grad school,

and then the youngest person
to win the Nobel Prize,

and now it's all slipping away.

No one cares how old you are.

Really? You don't think
I get treated special

because of my age and intellect?

I guess you do get everything
you want all the time.

See?

And whenever you're obnoxious

it's always, "Poor Sheldon,
he doesn't know any better."

Exactly. "Poor Sheldon."

At grad school, everybody's
going to be smart.

If I'm not the youngest,
how am I gonna stand out?

Sheldon, you're a kid talking
about going to grad school.

You have no problems.

I knew you wouldn't understand.

I do-- instead of
being a kid genius,

you're worried you're just
gonna be a regular genius,

which is a stupid thing for
a genius to worry about.

Well, stupid or not,

I may not get to go
to Caltech until I'm 15.

Wait, this is about
when you move out?

Yes.

I take it back,
this is a big deal.

♪ Because I'm free ♪

♪ Nothing's worrying me. ♪

All right.

So, we're just gonna
put you on tape

and see how it goes.

Okay. Uh, I'm ready.

Okay.

In three...

(mouthing)

All right, let's take a look
at our forecast for tonight.

Winds from the west
are headed our way,

taking temperatures
down to a cool 43 degrees.

But you know what
they say in Texas--

if you don't like the weather,
wait five minutes.

Actually, I've never said that,

but my Aunt Bonnie does.

She's not
wrong though,

because those chilly days
are gonna pass us by,

and by the weekend we're
looking at sunny and 72.

ADULT SHELDON: Mandy was
proving that new mothers

could do anything
anyone else could do.

In fact, they could do more,

like make their own milk,

right there, on camera.

Everything okay?

Not if you live on the coast,

because there is
a storm front building,

so we need to keep
an eye on, uh,

these clouds

right here.

Uh, but there's a low-pressure
system building,

um, over here,

and, uh,

well, then, that could
bring rain to, uh,

to this whole area here.

So, for Channel 7 weather,

I'm Mandy McAllister.
Good night.

And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for my behavior.

I realized that
I'm going to age out

of being a child prodigy
regardless of your help.

I appreciate that.

It takes maturity to
admit when you're wrong.

I know, even this apology
is grown-up.

Well, this is all a disaster.

Son, it's not. Believe me,
no one is more excited

for you to go to grad school
than I am.

I don't know, you should
talk to my sister.

Anyway, thank you
for hearing me out.

Actually, Sheldon,
I do have some news.

I reached out
to a colleague

who's doing a summer
research program

at the University of Heidelberg,

and I think I can get you in.

Heidelberg, Germany?

A summer program
5,000 miles away.

Only a fool would
say no to that.

Well, that would certainly help
my grad school applications.

STURGIS:
Yes, and they're doing

exciting work on superstrings.

Fantastisch.
That's German for "fantastic."

Ich helfe dir beim packen.

That's German for
"I'll help you pack."
