Beginning on Wednesday night,
I observed my parents
arguing over the possibility
of us moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Ugh, Oklahoma.
The argument escalated
and then my father stormed out
and bought a Fiero.
(voice breaking):
And then I went to my Meemaw's
and slept in my underwear!
(sobbing)
(door opens)
That's it; I've wasted my life.
(music plays quietly on radio)
You want to tell
me what happened?
Instead of remaining
a neutral observer,
I got emotional in front
of the whole class.
Well, that's
not a big deal.
Yes, it is; I'm a scientist.
You never hear about Newton
crying like a baby
when he got brutalized
by an apple.
I think you're being
a little tough on yourself.
I wonder why this
is affecting me so much.
Well, maybe it has something
to do with your parents arguing.
Us moving? I don't think so.
Texas, Oklahoma...
what's the difference?
Hey, now, I think you
might want to crack open
your psychology textbook
'cause that there is crazy talk.
I did read a chapter
on repressing emotions.
I suppose I could've been
doing that to avoid dealing
with the fear of change,
and moving would certainly
be a big change.
That's very astute.
I'd have a new room,
in a new house,
and the new house would probably
have a different smell,
and I probably
wouldn't like that smell
because I don't like new smells,
and I'd be going to a new school
with new kids and new teachers,
and I bet they'd all
smell different, as well.
Okay, now calm down.
That's easy for you to say.
Your olfactory senses
aren't about to be assaulted
by the state of Oklahoma.
Okay, let's try
a different approach.
Can I take you
to get some ice cream?
I'm having an emotional
crisis, Meemaw!
You can't fix that
with ice cream.
Right. Sorry.
You want to go
to Radio Shack?
Yes, I want to go
to Radio Shack!
Well, sir, that's the tour.
What do you think,
nicer than East Texas?
(chuckles) Very impressive.
Not sure how
you did it,
but that is the least disgusting
locker room I've ever been in.
Yes, sir.
Every bit of it's
brand, spanking new.
I bet if you had to, you could
even eat lunch in there.
(laughs) So what
do you say, George?
I could sure use a man
with your track record
to coach special teams. Please.
Thank you. I got to say,
I'm real tempted.
How does the family feel
about relocating?
Oh, they're all pretty excited
about the opportunity.
The kids see it as an adventure.
So why am I feeling like
you got some hesitation?
If it's about the money,
I believe I can get you
some more money.
No, no, no, the money's good.
Well, that's it, then.
You're gonna fit in perfectly
with our program here.
We got a lovely little house
for you and your family,
and best of all,
you're gonna be out of Texas.
(laughs)
I thought you started out
in Houston?
Shh. I'm trying
to fit in around here.
(both laugh)
So we have a deal?
(sighs)
What happened?
Can I take my coat off?
No. What happened?
(sighs) I turned it down.
Why?
'Cause you're
afraid of Mom?
'Cause I don't want to live
in Oklahoma.
George.
What difference
does it make, Mare?
We're not moving.
ADULT SHELDON: As a child,
I never understood
the sacrifices my father made
for his family's happiness,
which made me somewhat
less compassionate
than I should've been.
SHELDON:
Yay! We're not moving!
MISSY:
We're staying in Texas!
(all cheering, laughing)
