Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Okay, Sheldon, try having a conversation with Billy

about science.

Let's see.

Uh, 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.

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 gonna marry that bikini lady.

I've been working on a theory

about the wave-particle duality of light.

I have a nightlight 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. Yeah, seems like

a good place to stop.

Now what happens?

You go home.

Thank you for your hospitality.

And it was King David.

King David, who-who we read about in-in Samuel.

And-and-and what did David do?

What did David do?

What did David do? David danced.

MISSY: "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 that 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!

Mm. Then no.

(growls): Oh!

GEORGE SR.: Now, when you meet this guy,

you got to shake his hand.

What if I offer a stately bow?

That's how they do it in Asia.

You're shaking his hand.

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

(sighs) You're not wearing that in a restaurant.

Why?

'Cause 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 to need it and not have it.

You're shaking his hand! Okay!

(soft chatter)

Haven't been to many weddings lately.

Mostly funerals.

Yeah, those don't have an open bar. (chuckles softly)

I don't know why I'm so excited.

I'm paying for this.

JUNE: Hey, y'all.

Hi, June!

Don't you look pretty?

Thank you.

I happen to agree.

(chuckling)

Connie, Dale, this is Justin.

Hi, Justin. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too.

You must be a friend of my son's.

Actually, he's my date.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Much more fun than a funeral.

HAGEMEYER: George Cooper,

meet Gary O'Brien,

the antistatic 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 an obligation to fulfill.

So I closed my eyes and thought of science.

Just like on my honeymoon.
