All language subtitles for Young Sheldon S07E08 An Ankle Monitor and a Big Plastic Crap House

Previously on
Young Sheldon...

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

We'd like to pay
for a honeymoon.

What would you say
to an all-expenses-paid

weekend at Dollywood?

- Shut up.
- Oh, my God.

Thank you.

Huh? Oh, that ain't good.

Connie
Tucker, please stop running.

Why are you handcuffed?

I was just...

taking the baby for a walk,

and Cagney and Lacey here
decided

that I was evading arrest.

How's that feel?

Unnecessary.

You ran from the police.

You're a flight risk.

She can't run.
She got a funky hip.

- She can barely waddle.
- Watch it.

You got a 50-yard radius

from the base.

It'll beep when you get
close to the edge.

If you cross it, we get a call.

If you tamper with it,
we get a call.

Will it give her a little zap?

No.

Well, how's she gonna learn?

Will it beep if I kill him?

As long as
it's within 50 yards,

go for it.

I can't leave the house?

What the hell am I supposed
to do all day?

I am way ahead of you. See?

I stopped
and I picked up puzzles.

Got us the Grand Canyon
and Dogs Playing Poker.

If I were to run right now,
would you shoot me?

♪ Nobody else
is stronger than I am ♪

♪ Yesterday I moved a mountain ♪

♪ I bet I could be your hero ♪

♪ I am a mighty little man ♪

♪ I am a mighty little man. ♪

Ooh. I found a corner.

- Congratulations.
- Oh, come on.

We can have a little fun.

I have lost my business,
I have lost my home,

I have lost my freedom,
and you want to have fun?

A little fun.

Do you not understand?
I could be going to jail.

Oh, come on, please.

They're not gonna send a sweet
old grandma to the pokey.

Well, I hope not.
Ah.

Well, tell me something
if you would.

Is that sky or water?

Let me see it.

It's a good thing
that didn't go 50 yards.

You can still get it.

Hey, we're back.

Hey, hi.

Where's my little girl?

Um, she's with Mary.

Why?

Well, how do I put this?

What the heck is that?

I'm under house arrest.

Why?

We got busted.

We?

Me.

Do they know
about Georgie?

No, of course not.

Your grandma's not a snitch.

Which, by the way,
will serve you well

if you end up
in the slammer.

The pokey, the slammer.
What is it with you?

I like cop shows.
You learn things.

What about the Laundromat,

the video store?

They shut everything down.

God. So what are we
gonna do for money?
Yeah.

That's an excellent question.

How was Dollywood?

Magical. What are we gonna
do about money?

Hey.

Hello.

Studying for a test?

Studying to take the bar exam.

Meemaw's going
to need a smart lawyer.

By the time we find one, I could
just learn how to do it.

- Seriously?
- Common law

was invented by a bunch
of English farmers

in the Middle Ages.
I think I can hack it.

All right, what do you got?

Well, have you ever heard
of Vincent "The Chin" Gigante?

He a boxer?

He was originally.
Good for you.

But he's better known

as a major crime boss
who managed

to stay out of prison
by employing the legal doctrine

of mens rea.

Which is?

He pretended to be nuts.

He wandered the streets
of New York in a bathrobe,

he had poor personal hygiene,
he mumbled to himself--

all the cuckoo classics.

Yeah. If you need someone
to testify

that she's off her rocker,
you give me a call.

Thank you.

Toilet's backed up.

What? Don't look at me.
I just got home.

Yeah, but it's had years of you.

I'll check it out.

Come on, little buddy.

You can do it.

Talk to me.

There you go.

Let it out.

Aah!

Years.

♪ Pump it up. ♪

Here's the estimate.

I'm gonna need 50% down
to get started.

Are you kidding me?

We're fixing a toilet,
not buying a car.

Good thing
I wasn't going to college.

Nothing's wrong with your
toilet. Septic tank is shot.

What's a septic tank?

It's basically a big container
under the backyard

that's filled up with
all your... bathroom business.

Ew! I played in that yard.

Missy, not now. Come on, Phil.

Isn't there some kind of friends
and family discount?

I mean, we went
to high school together.

Yeah, and you were mean to me.

Oh, come on! I-I was mad
at the world, not just you!

I ate that dirt.

Did he fix it?

Not quite.

And he's still a weasel.

- What'd he do?
- Look.

What a weasel.

What are we gonna do?
I mean, we're six people.

We need a toilet.

Don't worry.
Georgie, come with me.

- Where are we going?
- I got a plan.

- Is it a good plan?
- Yeah.

All right. So I believe
that completes the sky.

Satisfying, huh?

So, what do you think?

Want to get some exercise,

go for a walk
until you start beeping?

Ha, ha, ha.
It's not funny.

My life is in shambles,

and I'm too old to start over.

Oh, come on.

You are not too old.

Now, listen, you are a smart,
vibrant, perky woman.

- Perky?
- Well, yeah, compared to me.

And I'll tell you
another thing.

Your life's not over.

You are writing a new chapter
in the book of you.

A book where

a perky heroine rises up

and...

And what?

I don't know.
Y-You want to get drunk?

- Yes.
- Great. I'm gonna

run to the liquor store.
You want to come with me?

- Dale!
- Right. Okay.

Be back in a jiffy.

God help me, I love him.

All right,
just a little bit more.

Oh, easy, easy.
There you go.

Yeah.

- Not bad, huh?
- I don't know.

Might look better
by the fence.

Look better?
It's a big plastic crap house.

Oh, dear Lord.

You wanted a toilet? Voilà.

Where did you get it?

From the high school.
We got, like, ten of 'em

for visiting teams.
Yeah... give it a whirl.

I'd rather die.

Is there
a light inside?

- No.
- Trust me, that's a good thing.

We'll just tie a flashlight
to the handle.

Huh. I always wondered what
rock bottom would look like.

Come on, at least
check it out.

I checked, I'm out.

I can't thank y'all enough.

Oh, don't be silly.
Stay as long as you need.

It's only temporary.
Whatever.

We're just thrilled
to have you and the baby here.

And me, too, right?

Yes, you'll be here, too.

Well, let me give you a hand.

Oh. Thanks.
Now, Georgie,

if the police come for you,
what should we tell them?

Mom.
I'm sorry.

I've never harbored
a fugitive before.
Mom!

Who's that guy?

It's Donny Osmond.

Never heard of him.

You know, Donny and Marie?

Sometimes I forget
how old you are.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about my mom.

You kidding? We got a double bed
and an indoor bathroom.

She can spit in my Corn Flakes,
and I'm a happy camper.

Good, 'cause she might.

Don't worry. I'll win her over.

- She thinks you ruined my life.
- So?

You thought I ruined your life,
and you married me.

I called it. I said no good
would come of this marriage.

Yeah, yeah, you said it a lot.

You said it at the wedding.

But, uh, still, you know, I...

I think you could be
a little nicer to him.

Sure, I can also go
out in the backyard

and water the crabgrass.

- We're gonna be okay, right?
- Oh, of course.

How can you be so sure?

Hey, you didn't just marry a
pretty boy like Danny over here.

- Donny.
- Yeah, him. You know,

I'm the hardest worker
you'll ever meet.

When I see something I want,
I don't stop till I get it.

You are relentless.

The good news is,
with Amanda back in the house,

I can help her come
to her senses.

Good plan. Hey, uh,
in the meantime,

I was thinking of putting
Georgie to work at the store.

There you go,
watering the crabgrass.

It's not charity,
all right? He'll work.

He's a criminal, Jim.

And what I want is
to take care of you and CeeCee

and maybe someday
a Georgie Junior Junior.

You mean George the Third.

No, that's too fancy.
He'd get his ass kicked.

- Mm, yeah.
- And for your information,

those little backroom
slot machines are all over town.

How do you know?

People tell me stuff.

I... I just got--
I got one of them faces.

I had a plan
to avoid using the porta-potty.

I just had
to get through the night

until I could get back
to my dorm in the morning.

I lowered
my overall liquid intake,

skipped my pre-bed
chamomile tea,

and gave my bladder
a stern talking to.

My bladder did not listen.

I can do this.

My body may have been weak,

but my mind was strong.

I just needed
to think about this situation

in a different way.

Instead of a porta-potty,
it was a TARDIS.

Instead of Sheldon,
I was Doctor Who,

whose urine was ready to travel
through space and time.

For those who aren't familiar,

the TARDIS is bigger
on the inside.

This one, however,
was smellier on the inside.

I can't do this.

I'm not proud of this,
but that night,

I relieved myself inside
Billy Sparks' chicken coop.

Until my wife,
those hens were the only females

I ever exposed myself to.

I guess
I could have left that part out.

Oh, well.

More bacon?

Pile it on.

Good morning.

Morning. Have a seat.

Georgie made us breakfast.
Isn't that nice?

Oh, well, look at that.
Thank you.

- My pleasure.
- I guess

I'll just have to run
to the supermarket later

and get some more eggs

for that cake
I was going to make.

Oh, no problem.
I-I can go to the grocery store.

Oh. Apparently
we're not job-hunting today.

Oh, speaking of jobs.

Good luck to you, son.

Meemaw. Meemaw.

Meemaw.

What?

Oh, my, you look terrible.

Are you sick?

Of life, yes.

Oh, good. That's not contagious.

Get in here.
The light's killing me.

You smell like alcohol. Yucky.

Look who came to visit.

- Oh, great.
- You will

think it's great when you hear
the brilliant legal strategy

I have to keep Meemaw
out of prison.

I thought
you were a science guy.

I am, but sometimes
I like to spread my wings.

Oh, okay. Uh, proceed.

What do you got?

It's simple.

We argue under Article 46-B
of the Texas Penal Code

that you're unfit to stand trial
due to mental incompetence.

You-you want to tell 'em
I'm crazy?

Yes. And keep this look.
It really bolsters our case.

Has this worked before?

It has.

Oh. Well, that's good news.

The bad news is, you'll probably
be institutionalized.

You-you... you want me
to go to the nuthouse?

I want you
to stay out of prison.

Oh, Moon Pie, thank you.
Thank you so much.

I really do

appreciate it, but I'm fine.

You know, I have a buddy
whose nephew is a lawyer.

He's gonna help us out.

Is this because
I haven't passed the bar yet?

Because that's just a formality.
A monkey could do it.

No, I... I think that I'd just
feel a little more comfortable

if I was getting advice

from somebody who had a little
more professional experience.

Okay. I mean, I've been
doing this for a day and a half,

but suit yourself.

Got your eggs,
everything on the list.

Thank you.

Also filled out
an application

to be a bag boy
while I was there.
Oh.

Wonderful.
My son-in-law, the bag boy.

It's only temporary.

I'll make my way
up to cashier,

then night manager,
then manager-manager,

then regional supervisor, then
it's just a hop, skip and a jump

to HQ. That's short
for headquarters.

You can do all that
without a high school diploma?

If you're a member
of the can-do club.

God help me.

I'll just put these away.

What's the can-do club, and
why is my mom so mad about it?

What are you doing?

Cleaning out these rain gutters.

Otherwise,
the water gets backed up

and wrecks havoc on your roof.

Wreaks... havoc.

No, I'm pretty sure
it's wrecks,

'cause that's what it do.

Oh, look at that.

Audrey, is this your Wham-O?

Audrey?

And the wolf said,
"I'm gonna huff

and puff
and blow your house down."

Don't worry. Daddy'll never
let that happen to you.

I'm gonna keep you safe.

Uh-oh.

Somebody needs a new diaper.

Come on, let's get you one.

Oh, hey.

She's got you
and Mandy's good looks, but--

phew-- she poops like her dad.

Lovely.

Your grandma's coming around
on me.

Yeah, she is.

The good news is,
I've had some encouraging talks

with the district attorney,
and I think that we can...

Hang on.
How old are you?

I know I look young, but I'm 24.

You bring me
a child attorney?

Well, you were about to take
advice from a 14-year-old.

Oh, who's that?
I might know him.

Oh, just finish up
what you were saying.

Right. A deal can be made

without going to trial.

You plead guilty, pay a fine,
lose your business license,

maybe some community service,

probation, but no jail time.

So I'll lose the gambling room,

but I can keep the Laundromat
and the video store?
No.

Those are all considered a part
of the criminal enterprise.

They get confiscated.

What if I fight it?

On what grounds?

I didn't have an
illegal gambling room.

I collected...

antique slot machines.

It was my hobby.

And the evading arrest?

I was just taking my
great-granddaughter

for a brisk stroll.

I'm confused.

Did we start
the insanity thing?

I think you should
take this deal.

Put everything behind you,

get on with your life.

What life? I have no life.

You have me.

Yeah, yeah.

What if I
had something

to offer?

Then maybe I could keep my
businesses and skip the fine?

What are you thinking?

That greedy rat of a
cop I was paying off.

Rutledge?

He's the one who flipped on you.

Son of a bitch.

You can't even trust
a dirty cop these days.

- Come on, Connie.
- Yeah.

No one wants to see
a grandma behind bars.

Great-grandma.

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

How old are you?

None of your business.

So,

do I tell 'em we have a deal?

Okay, fine.

Oh, thank God.

I'm too old
to find somebody new.

What are you doing?

Making a withdrawal.

You put a hole in my wall
and hid money in it?

It seemed safe.

I mean, who'd look
for money in this dump?

Why do you need it?

Legal fees.

Maybe a new gambling room.

- Mom.
- By the way,

what is that porta-potty
doing out there in your yard?

We're having plumbing issues.

We need a new septic tank.

Ouch.

Tell me about it.

How much you got in there?

None of your business.

It's in my wall!

It's the devil's money, Mary.

- You don't want it.
- I don't care.

Last night, I went to pee and
there was a snake in there.

Here you go.

Get yourself
some indoor plumbing.

Oh, Mommy, thank you.

Snake's back! Snake's back!

Nice house.

Got the job.

Part-time bag boy.

Well. They let you take
the apron home?

Aw, shoot.

That's great, Georgie.
I'm really proud of you.

It's only temporary
till I find something better.

Listen, Georgie,

Audrey and I were thinking...

I was thinking...

I could really use some help
down at the tire store.

Really? Selling tires?

You are not gonna regret this.

I'll work my butt off for you.

Nights, weekends, holidays--

you name it, I am there.

Pretty impressive kid, huh?

We'll see.

"We'll see"?

Good job.

Told you.

♪ I go out walkin' ♪

♪ After midnight ♪

♪ Out in the moonlight ♪

♪ Just like we used to do

♪ I'm always walkin'...

What the hell is...?

Oh, a snake!

Snake! Oh! A snake!

Snake!

Mary?!

Bring a towel!
