[adult Sheldon] Previously on
Young Sheldon...

You must be Coach Ballard's ex-wife.

Yeah, why?

I'm kinda dating your ex-husband.

I knew who you were the whole time.
That's why I came over here.

Nicely played.

We ought to go out for drinks one night.

Hell, yeah.

Yee-haw!

[adult Sheldon] College is a time
for new experiences.

Being exposed
to exciting ways of thinking,

meeting people from
different backgrounds,

and the unexpected visit
from your dad in gym shorts.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I got a phone call.

Apparently, the head of the college
wants to talk to us.

Oh. Good.

You sure it's good?

Well, it's better than what I thought
when I saw you, which was,

"Uh-oh, Meemaw died."

Come on.

I was hoping in college

you wouldn't get called
to the principal's office anymore.

She's not the principal.

She's the president.

So if you're in trouble,
you're in big trouble.

That's a fun way to look at it.

Gentlemen, please have a seat.

Sheldon's only been here a few weeks.
I hope he's not in trouble already.

What kind of trouble?
Did something happen?

Ooh, maybe it's from when I decided...

All good. You keep talking.

Well, I'll just get right to the point.

I would like you and your son

to meet with a very important
benefactor of the college.

Why us?

Well, Sheldon is...

Is an impressive addition
to the physics program,

and we like our donors to feel really
good about where their money is going.

I get it. You want the star quarterback
to shake some hands with the boosters.

- Exactly.
- I'm not doing that.

I didn't shake her hand,
and she's the president.

No, you don't have
to shake anybody's hand.

Then why did you say it?

I didn't say it. He said it.

But you agreed with it.

All I'm asking you to do
is to go to dinner,

talk about science with a very nice,
more importantly, a very rich person.

Understood.

No, thank you.

Buddy.

All right. Uh, Sheldon,

I was brought to this school
to help raise its profile.

And one of the ways to do that
is through grants and donations.

You can understand that, right?

I understand that you would like
to put the novelty of my age

and advanced intellect
on display to raise some cash.

No... Sort of.

Can I speak to you alone?

You give us a minute.

Very well. But if you're looking to see

if my father will be a potential donor,
you are barking up the wrong tree.

[theme song playing]

So, how do we get your son to cooperate?

I've been asking myself that
since day one.

Look, I don't mean to put
pressure on you,

but there's a lot of pressure on me,
so I'm going to put it on you.

Look, I'm sorry, isn't there anyone else
who can go to dinner with this guy?

So I have a unicorn in my zoo,
but I should trot out a goat.

Is that what you're saying?

Would you donate a new library
to have dinner with a goat.

What restaurant?

Mr. Cooper, I need you
to understand something.

This university relies on donations

for everything. For upkeep,
for salaries, for scholarships.

Like the one your son is currently on.

- I'll talk to him.
- Thank you.

And when you go to dinner,
wear real pants.

So there's this thing at school
I really want to go to,

and before you say no,
I just want you to think about it.

- What is it?
- Like a school function.

Why would I say no to a school function?

So I can go? You're the best.

Hold on, what kind
of function are we talkin' about?

You know, just the normal kind.

With some kids... And some music.

You know you can't go to a dance.

Why not?

You know that too,
because we're Baptist.

But all my friends are going.

That doesn't change anything.

What if I promise not to dance?

So you expect me to believe that you are
going to go dancing with your friends,

they'll all be dancing,

while you just stand there?

I go to church and don't pray.

How is this any different?

Where are we eating tonight?

Well, that depends.

Why don't you look in the glove box
and check on the Tums situation.

[music playing on radio]

There's five.

This is tricky.

Mexican is at least three apiece.

We might get by with two each
if it's Italian.

You got red wine and tomato sauce.

And if they put lemon in the water,
we're dead.

That leaves barbecue.

Sold.

Who gets Tum number three?

Me. They're my Tums.

So what do you think young people
talk about on their dates?

I don't know, but my knee's telling me
it's gonna rain this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend,

hey, my son needs a final head count.

Oh.

It's a small wedding.
It will be weird if I'm there.

Oh, come on.
I'm gonna be wearing a suit.

I'm very sexy in a suit.

Come on, Sheldon.
Think of it as a free dinner.

I'm a kid. All my dinners are free.

Is what they're asking really that bad?

Yes. I go to this university
to study science.

Not to help collect money
like an organ grinder's monkey.

You see me go the rallies
and fundraisers at the high school.

I don't love it, but I do it.

And I hope they give you
all the bananas you can eat.

Sheldon, donors like this
are very helpful for the university.

They pay for all the science equipment
and your scholarship.

I hadn't thought of it that way.

So I tell 'em we're on for Saturday?

I'll think about it.

What's to think about?

It's a night of you showing off
how smart you are.

People do like that.

All right, I'm in.

[TV playing]

Can I put on the game?

- I don't care.
- Sweet.

What's your problem?

Did you ever go to a school dance?

One or two.

How did you get Mom to let you?

Easy, didn't ask her.

By the way,
that works for all kinds of stuff.

Well, it's too late. I already asked.

Rookie mistake.

Why can't we have a fun religion?

I don't think there is one.

Come with me.

- Here.
- What is it?

The answer to your problems.

Cool. What other tapes you got?

Nature films. Don't worry about it.

[George] Hey.

I just got off the phone
with President Hagemeyer.

This guy we're going to have dinner
with sounds pretty interesting.

He made all of his money selling
anti-static furniture for laboratories.

He's not even a scientist?
He's just a furniture salesman?

Yeah.

What am I supposed to talk about?

Talk about whatever you want.
Just don't be insulting.

What if he says something
I think is ridiculous?

Keep it to yourself.

What if you just said something I think
is ridiculous because...

Okay, maybe we need to work a little
on your conversation skills.

Like not calling people out
for saying stupid things.

How am I supposed to practice that?

What's up?

[phone beeps]

[phone line ringing]

[telephone ringing]

- Hello.
- Hey, June, it's Connie Tucker.

Hey, Connie. How are you?

I'm good.

Am I seeing you Saturday night?

Well, that's what I called about.

Are you sure you want me there?
I mean, it is your son's wedding.

Oh, it's a second wedding.
Those barely count.

Besides, I'm bringin' a date too.
C'mon, it'll be fun.

Okay, I'm in.

Fantastic.

So how dressed up we gettin'?

Oh, it's a small ceremony,
nothing fancy.

You just sayin' that
'cause you wanna look better than me?

Of course not.

But I do believe you'd be
stunning in overalls.

- All right, see you then.
- Bye.

Overalls my ass.

So you really can't dance here, man?

- I can't believe that.
- It's true.

See. They ain't allowed to dance either.

It's like I'm watching my life.

That's how I feel when I'm watching
Top Gun.

Okay, Sheldon, try having a conversation
with Billy about science.

Let's see, what do you know
about quantum mechanics?

My dad's a mechanic.

At his shop he has a calendar
with a bikini lady on it.

Dad?

Instead of losing patience,

act interested
and ask a follow up question.

Your father's a mechanic?

Interesting. Do you know what else
is interesting? Quantum mechanics.

That describes the basic particles
and forces that make up reality.

Let's talk about that.

I'm going to marry that bikini lady.

I've been working on a theory about
the wave particle duality of light.

I have a night light that looks like
Spider-Man, but I don't turn it on.

Go ahead.

Why don't you turn it on?

I'm afraid of spiders.

This seems like a good place to stop.

Now what happens?

You go home.

Thank you for your hospitality.

[man on TV] It was King David...

King David who we read about...
In Samuel.

And what did David do?

What did David do? What did David do?

"David danced before the Lord
with all his might

"leaping and dancing before the Lord."

Leaping and dancing.

- I'm impressed.
- Thank you.

Too bad it's from Footloose.

[chuckles] What's a footloose?

It is the movie Pastor Jeff warned us
about in his talk on the sins of cinema.

Just let me go to the dance.

I'm sorry. I can't.

I'm never talking to you again.

- Did you show your sister Footloose?
- Did it work?

- No!
- Then no.

[grunts]

Now when you meet this guy,
you've got to shake his hand.

What if I offer a stately bow?
That's how they do it in Asia.

You're shakin' his hand.

Then it's a good thing
I brought Ol' Righty.

You're not wearing that
in a restaurant.

Why?

You don't make a good impression
by being afraid to shake hands.

Howard Hughes was a germophobe
and he did quite well for himself.

Didn't he go crazy
and save his pee in jars?

Better to have it and not need it
than need it and not have it.

- You're shaking his hand.
- Okay!

[indistinct conversation]

Haven't been to many weddings lately.

Mostly funerals.

Those don't have an open bar.

I don't know why I'm so excited,
I'm paying for this.

Hey, y'all.

- Hi, June.
- Don't you look pretty?

Thank you. I happen to agree.

Connie, Dale, this is Justin.

Hi, Justin, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Must be a friend of my son's.

Actually, he's my date.

Really?

- Mmm.
- Much more fun than a funeral.

George Cooper, meet Gary O'Brien,
the anti-static furniture king.

- Hello.
- Shocking to meet you.

Don't do that. And this, of course,
is our physics prodigy, Sheldon Cooper.

A great pleasure.

[adult Sheldon] I had
obligation to fulfill.

So I closed my eyes
and thought of science.

Just like on my honeymoon.

[music playing on sound system]

How does pizza sound for dinner?

You think I'm eating dinner
with my mom on a Saturday night?

[sighs]

You're adorable.

Guess I'm eating alone.

What about Missy?

She's not talking to me.

She'd talk to you
if you just let her go.

You know I can't do that.

Come on, I went to school dances
and I turned out fine.

I didn't let you go to any dances.

I did all kinds of stuff behind
your back.

Like what?

I'm dumb but I'm not that dumb.

So I'm supposed to just
let her do whatever she wants?

Yeah, I don't think so.

I'm just saying she's a good kid.
Be glad she's still asking.

So how'd you two meet?

I've been cutting
his mom's hair for years.

Oh, that's nice.

Bet you when she cuts your hair,
you get a lollipop, don't you?

He gets more than a lollipop.

- Really? Is that so?
- Dale.

Okay. So what is it you do, Langston?

Justin. Actually, I'm about to open
a frozen yogurt shop.

Frozen yogurt, right.
Isn't that like crappy ice cream?

- We consider it a healthy alternative.
- Right. Crappy ice cream.

It's actually getting really popular.
I'm going to invest.

Invest money?

What else would she invest with?

I don't know, you got fake ice cream,
how about fake money?

Well, as...

Hey, would you mind goin'
and getting me another drink please?

- Happy to.
- Thank you.

- What's your problem?
- Yeah. What is your problem?

Who said I had a problem?

We did.

You're being rude.

You want to spend all your money on some
boy toy, it's none of my business

Why do you care what she does
with her own money?

Yeah. Why?

Well, you've got some young guy
running around asking for money.

You don't think I know
what that's all about?

Okay, he didn't ask, I offered.

And I could do what I want.
I'm a grown woman.

Oh, hell, you were a grown woman
when he was born.

Sheldon, why don't you
tell Mr. O'Brien about

some of your goals at the university?

Well, I'm pushing for
stricter dress codes.

There are a lot of belly buttons
on display.

Science goals.

My ultimate goal is to one day
devise the grand unified field theory.

Ah.

You're one of those, are you?

Excuse me?

Well, Kurt G�del's
incompleteness theorems

eliminate the possibility
of a unified theory.

- You honestly believe that?
- Sheldon.

That's interesting.

Tell me more about how Einstein's
life goal was nothing but folly.

What is she thinking?

Maybe she's thinking,
"Why did I come here with this guy?"

Wait, no, that's what I'm thinking.

You know what I'm talking about.
She brought him here on purpose.

- What purpose?
- To upset me.

You know, Dale,
not everything is always about you.

Well, you're mad at me, she's mad at me.
It seems like it's all about me.

- You owe her an apology.
- Like hell I do.

Then I'm gonna do it for you.

[softly] No, wait. Connie, wait.

- What?
- Bring me back a beer.

[door knocks]

[Mary] Missy.

Go away, I'm not talking to you.

I know you're mad.
But I've been thinkin' about it,

and I trust you enough to know
that you will be behave yourself.

So just this once you can go.

Thanks, Mom. Love you.

Why won't this open?

Sometimes it sticks.

I know on the surface,
Dale seems like a bully.

- But underneath...
- Still a bully.

Well, yes, but a little
less of one, right?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

You know,
I'm going to bring him a peace offering.

[chuckles softly]

Ain't he cute?

Can you believe

that Dale thinks the only reason you
brought him here's just to piss him off?

That's exactly why I brought him.

What the hell is the matter with you?

What?

Why would you go out of your way
to upset Dale at your own son's wedding?

I don't know. He's my ex-husband.

- Well, he's my boyfriend.
- Hey, that's your problem.

You're starting to be my problem.

Geez, who's the bully now?

I knew I shouldn't have come here.

[whispers] Your ex-wife is a bitch.

I am so filled
with love for you right now.

I believe we have to look
to gravity and its magnitude...

[adult Sheldon] I was really doing
my best to hold it together.

...gravity could be a repulsive force
if you just add negative mass.

[adult Sheldon] I smiled and nodded,

like my Meemaw's
Houston Oilers bobblehead.

I also discovered a way
that we could predict the masses

of all the known particles
using the Egyptian pyramids...

[adult Sheldon] In physics,
there's a phenomenon

known as supercritical assembly.

If you bring enough material
together in one place...

...the trick is numerology.

[Sheldon]...in the right configuration.
Eventually it will explode.

This is fun, not a lot of people
I can talk to scientist-to-scientist.

[bomb explodes]

We're not talking scientist-to-
scientist. You're not a scientist.

You're just a rich man
that no one will be honest to

because everyone wants your money.

Don't listen to him. He's just a kid.

Why don't you tell me a little more
about your pyramid thingy?

Huh?

[adult Sheldon] It turned out, Gary did
appreciate my honesty.

The school got a generous donation.

My, my, my, that is a lot of zeros.

["Footloose" playing]

My father got Oilers tickets
from President Hagemeyer.

Fifty-yard line and free parking?
Hoo-mama.

[adult Sheldon] And I got a brand new
state of the art anti-static lab chair.

It works.
