Original subtitles

Only 42 days until I go to Caltech.

That can't be right.

Oh, it is. It's in my calendar, too.

You don't have to be so excited about it.

It's a little late to pretend that I like him.

There's still so much to do before I go.

Write my graduation speech, last trip to the comic

book store, last lunch with Tam at the high school.

I didn't know you and Tam were still friends.

Why would you think that?

Because you never see him.

My favorite kind of friend.

Well, make sure you leave room for the family photo

because that is definitely happening before you go away.

Seriously, that blue bonnet thing?

That is so lame.

It is not lame.

It is a Texas tradition.

For those of you who don't know what my mother is

talking about, it's this and this and all these.

Forcing your family to dress in matching outfits and be photographed in a field of

fire ants and bees is a traditional Texas

torture dating back to the Great Depression.

Are they depressed because of financial ruin?

No, it's the picture.

I'm pretty booked up, but I'll try and pencil you in if time permits.

I bought the outfits.

I booked the photographer. You're doing it.

Doing what?

That blue bonnet photo.

Oh, come on.

I don't want to.

If he doesn't have to... We are all doing it.

We're all going to be happy, whether you like it or not.

Hey, Tom. You want to see me?

Yeah, why don't you close the door?

That always makes me nervous.

I know. It's good.

Well, why can't the door stay open?

Fine. Leave it open.

I already closed it.

So, what's up?

Well, George, I've had a hell of a season.

Now I wish the door was open.

I got a buddy who coaches at Rice who was asking about you.

Great college.

So, what did you tell him?

I told him you wouldn't be interested.

You're pretty happy here.

What?

Why would you do that?

So you're not happy here?

No, of course I'm happy here.

It's just... I'm just messing with you.

I told him you'd be a fantastic coach and they'd be crazy not to take you.

Wow, Tom.

I don't know what to say.

You can say no and stay here.

Well, I sure ain't saying that.

Moving to Houston, that's a big deal.

That's why I wanted to give you a heads up so you

and Mary could talk before they make the offer.

Appreciate that.

Congratulations, George.

I've always believed in you.

What about that time you fired me?

We're having a nice moment.

Do you have to?

Hey, Sheldon. What's up?

I'm leaving soon and I want to remember this place exactly the way it is.

Mister, could you move? I don't know you.

Better.

Where are you going?

California.

Oh. Home of the San Diego Comic Con.

Rad.

That's how they talk there.

I didn't realize I was going to have to learn another language.

Well, if I could do it, anyone can.

Do you know any comic book stores in Pasadena?

I'm worried I'm not going to find any as good as this one.

I like to think a comic book store is only as good as the people who hang out in it.

Do you like the people who hang out in this one?

No.

I also need to stock up on some more T -shirts while I'm here.

Yeah, sure. I mean, you want to look bitchy in.

That's another thing they say in SoCal.

I won't be saying that.

Well, I guess I'll see you around.

You probably won't.

Okay.

And I never saw him again.

Oh, good. I was hoping to talk to you alone.

Okay.

Hey, you want to shut the door?

Uh-oh.

No, it's actually pretty exciting.

Oh, tell me.

And it's also a little scary.

George, just say it.

I'm getting off of the coaching job at Rice.

Really?

Special teams.

Wow.

And I know moving's a big deal.

And it's okay if now's not the right time.

You should take it.

You sure?

Well...

I mean, Georgie and Mandy are out of the house.

Sheldon's leaving soon.

Missy's starting a new school anyway.

Seems like a good time to do this.

What about your mom, CeCe?

I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it's not that far away.

Yeah, I guess, but... George, you deserve this.

I mean, college ball.

That's the dream.

Sounds like we're moving to Houston.

And bless the hands that prepared it. Amen.

Amen.

Since everyone is here, there's something we want to talk to y'all about.

I don't know. What's wrong now?

It isn't always bad news.

Last time we had a family meeting, it was because

Georgie got a girl pregnant out of wedlock.

Which was great news.

Eventually.

It's nothing like that.

I got a job offer from Rice.

From Rice?

University.

You can understand the mistake.

Your father got offered a coaching job.

George, congratulations.

College ball.

That is a big deal.

Thank you.

Wait, where is Rice?

Houston.

Does that mean you'd move?

Well, if I take it, yeah.

So I'd start high school in Houston?

We know that would be a big change.

I'd get to be the new girl in a city with malls and a Six Flags?

We were worried you'd be upset.

I'm upset.

That's a lot of babysitters to lose.

Well, I'm still here.

Yeah, but your bedtime's earlier than say things.

Only when I'm drinking.

Excuse me.

Don't I get a say in this?

Why?

You're leaving in 41 days.

Doesn't matter. This is still my home.

Shelly, you'll have a new home.

Maybe with a pool.

Ooh, the new girl gets a pool.

Where are you going?

To eat in my room while I still have one.

Sheldon's upset and Missy's good.

It sounds about right.

The new girl has a pool.

Can we talk?

About you not moving?

Sheldon, you know how excited you are to go to Caltech?

That's how I feel about going to Houston.

But when I was going to Caltech, I still had this home to come back to.

You'll still have a room wherever we end up.

But it won't be my room.

This is my room.

How about this?

We will take all your things with us and we'll set up your new room exactly the same.

So your plan is to gaslight me?

I know there's a lot of change, but sometimes change could be good.

Tell that to the wooly mammoth.

You can't because they went extinct.

Sheldon, this isn't about you.

This job is good for your father and our

family so you're going to have to deal with it.

Now pick up that plate, get back out there and have

dinner with your family while we're all still together.

Yes, ma'am.

Dang, that was hot.

My world had been rocked.

But it was nice to know there were some things that would always stay the same.

Like lunch with my old friend, Tam.

Why are we here?

This is where we always eat.

You know I graduated last year.

Oh, good for you.

So where's your food?

When you invited me to lunch, I thought you meant like a restaurant.

That's okay. I'll share my sandwich.

You still don't eat the crust?

Cutting them off gives my mother purpose.

So how have you been?

Good.

I actually have a girlfriend now and... I've had a pretty rough time of it lately.

I'm about to go away to Caltech and my parents

decided to sell our home and move to Houston.

I mean, that house has my room in it.

So now some stranger is going to move in and turn it into a den, or worse,

a nursery with a mural of Winnie the Pooh on the wall.

I think I might ask her to marry me.

Feynman and Einstein have been on those walls for five years

and now it's going to be Tigger bouncing hither and thither?

Are you at all interested in my life?

No, but thank you for asking.

Oh, hello.

What are you doing here?

Taking comfort in the familiar.

Still no wedding ring, I see.

That feels good.

Yeah, feels great.

So where was I?

Right, Houston.

Anyway, my father got offered a coaching position.

To solve this problem, we have to remember the

difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions.

Hello, Mr. Givens.

Sheldon?

What are you doing here?

Please don't tell me you're teaching.

No.

I'm leaving for Caltech soon.

I just wanted to pop in.

Uh, keep reading chapter 12 or pretend to.

Caltech?

Fantastic.

For Caltech, I know.

Well, I'm sure you're going to do great things.

I hope so. I intend to.

I'm being modest, I will.

You're taller, but you're still the same.

It's fun, isn't it?

Okay.

Good luck at Caltech, Sheldon.

I don't believe in luck.

Well, here's hoping that a random universe works out in your favor.

Thank you.

Bye.

That young man might change the world someday.

Or blow it up.

Who's to say?

All right, moving on.

Is that what you're going to wear for the family portrait?

We all are.

Well, that'll be special.

It'll make Mary happy.

Yeah.

All your loved ones together.

Are you upset you're not going to be in the picture?

Standing in a field full of pollen with this nose?

Are you kidding me?

Meemaw?

Meemaw?

Meemaw?

I mean, I have to say hello three times?

No, that would be crazy.

Agreed.

What's up?

How much do you love me?

What do you want?

I want you to buy our house.

Why?

So my room is there when I need it.

Well, I thought you couldn't wait to leave Medford.

Just because I don't want to come back to a place doesn't mean

I don't want to have a place that I don't want to come back to.

That makes sense to me.

Great. Let's talk escrow.

It's completely logical.

You don't have your own house and you always complain about living with Mr. Ballard.

Wait a minute.

You're complaining to him about me?

No, I complain about you near him.

I have excellent hearing.

It doesn't matter.

Look, actually, I'm very happy living with Dale.

Well, at first you're complaining, now you're complimenting.

I can go back to complaining.

No, no, no.

Compliment away.

Fine.

I really enjoy living with you and your moose lodge decor has come to feel like home.

Now is that a compliment or a complaint?

It's a little of both.

I'll take it.

So where are we?

Buy my home outright?

Take over our mortgage?

Interest rates are looking darn attractive.

Honestly, I can't think of a better starter home for a

new family such as the one you've accidentally created.

Do you think we'd be living with my parents if we could afford our own house?

Well, the history of banking in this country is

rife with ill-advised loans made to poor people.

You could be their next mistake.

Cece would have her own room and we'd have an extra bedroom for whatever we want.

Actually, I'd like my room to stay as is but when

you accidentally have more kids, we can talk.

It's happened once before.

Now... why on earth would I buy your house?

Not you, the university.

Okay, why would the university buy your house?

We've been over this. Someday I'm going to win a Nobel Prize.

My childhood bedroom is in said home.

It's going to be like the thinking man's Graceland.

Okay, stop.

You know, I've always gone out of my way to do anything to make you happy.

I love that about you.

But, how can I say this nicely, you're Caltech's problem now, so... yay.

But if my parents sell it, I have no reason to come back.

Sheldon, is it possible that what you're upset about is going away to California?

No, I'm excited about that.

Well, things can be exciting and scary at the same time.

True.

Once on a dare, I ate a Sour Patch kid.

I thought I was going to die.

You would not believe the puckering.

But now it makes a terrific story.

Oh, riveting.

Anyway, it's okay to have complicated feelings.

Maybe you're focusing on your parents' move, because

that's easier than focusing on what lies ahead.

What do you think lies ahead?

I don't know. You're moving far away.

I am. I don't know anyone there.

And I'm scared of the ocean.

And they have earthquakes.

What am I doing? Maybe I should stay here.

Oh.

I mean, you could, but...

Professor Hawking is at Caltech.

He will be very disappointed if you don't show up.

And tell him that Sour Patch story.

Good point.

Great point.

Plus, I'm never going to win a Nobel Prize at this third-rate university.

Second-rate?

Now get out of here.

I don't want you to see me cry.

Thank you.

I don't want to see that either.

One more down.

You can do it, Linda.

I know it looks a little lived in, but it's got good bones.

Yeah.

How much can we get for it?

Well, I need to see the rest of the house.

Of course.

And we recently redid the plumbing.

And that was pricey.

Write that down.

And this is our daughter's room.

We told her to clean up, but no promises.

What a charming room.

It's been such a blessing to get her up here.

I just hope some lucky family loves it as much as I have.

I'm sure they will.

Well, I'm gonna pray on it.

Okay, moving on.

This is our little boy's room.

Might want to stay there until I finish my sweep.

What are you doing?

You said the realtor was coming over today.

I wanted to make sure my room wasn't still radioactive.

Oh, it was never radioactive.

We don't know that. I did have radioactive material.

There was no radioactive material.

The FBI stopped him before he got in.

Oh, you're talking about the uranium I tried to buy.

I'm referring to the americium isotopes I was using to make a nuclear reactor.

Don't write that down.

Hey.

Hey.

Should you be up there?

Yeah, the realtor said we'd get a better prize.

The roof was in good shape.

I'm just taking a look.

Yeah, but a man your age and size... You come out here to insult me?

Mom sent me out here to help.

The insults just come natural.

Well, I'm fine.

Do you even know what you're looking for?

Broken shingles, loose flashing.

Loose flashing?

How do you even know that?

Is it weird that I know things?

Not weird.

Just surprising.

One day you're going to own a house.

You're going to need to learn this stuff too.

No.

I'm going to make enough money to where I can pay somebody else to do it.

I'd love to see that.

Now you're making fun of me.

No.

I mean it.

I got a plan.

I'm going to be rich.

What's your plan?

To be rich.

I'll give you one thing.

You got confidence.

Thank you.

You get a second thing, you'll be unstoppable.

Sounds like I'm halfway there.

I suppose you are.

Missy?

Missy?

What?

Missy?

Are you nervous about moving to a new city?

Nope.

But you won't know anyone.

That's the best part.

I won't be the dumb sister of the smartest boy in town.

You're not going to brag about me?

Hell no.

I'm going to tell people you were sent away to a school for special kids.

Caltech is a school for special kids.

Great. And works on two levels.

Are you nervous?

Yes.

What if no one liked me in California?

No one likes you here.

No one understands me here.

There's a difference.

Well, I'm sure there would be a bunch of smart other weirdos at Caltech.

Caltech?

Yeah.

Caltech.

Like calculators?

Like California.

Oh.

I like men better.

Well, I'm sure you'll make lots of friends.

Maybe even a smart weird girlfriend.

I have a girlfriend.

Her name is Science.

Cool. When do you leave?

I'm guessing you don't have classes today?

How did you know?

Because you're dressed like a six-year -old.

Don't say that.

He looks...

fun.

Thank you.

Don't forget, we have the family portrait today.

Do we really have to stand in a field of flowers?

Yes.

If you're worried about getting stung, I have a backup beekeeper uniform.

You are not wearing a beekeeper uniform in the picture.

Please, it'll really help my story about him going to a special school.

What's happening?

We are leaving for the blue bonnet picture at four.

Don't be late.

Wouldn't miss it.

Hey, you want to ride to school?

No, I'll take the bus.

Suit yourself.

See y'all later.

Four o'clock.

If I get stung by a bee, I'm turning you into child protective services.

What am I smelling?

I'm wearing peppermint oil.

It's a natural bee repellent.

You smell like a candy cane.

Do not lick me.

Hey, speaking of smells, do I have time to change CC?

Still waiting on George.

Go ahead.

You need some help?

No.

Well, I am in all white.

Yes.

What's going on?

Mary, we got some bad news.

Where's George?

I'm so sorry.

He had a heart attack.

He's okay, right?

He's gone.

Are you prescribing her opiates?

I can't have her go out on the street and buy drugs.

This situation is unethical.

You could lose your medical license.

You need to make her leave.
