Lyrics & Translation

[English]

This isn't the Hello Kitty store.

No. It's Hot Topic.

What's the topic, devil worship? Hey,

did you know there's a bow tie section in the back?

Why would they hide that in the back?

Ooh. What's that?

Body glitter.

That's so much better than regular glitter.

Then buy it.

I don't have any money.

Then steal it.

No, my mom would kill me.

Fine. Your mom can't punish me.

SHELDON: I didn't see any bow ties,

just a shirt with a bad word on it.

What did you put in your pocket?

Nothing.

Are you guys stealing? Because if you are,

I am prepared to literally blow the whistle on you... Okay.

Okay.

Relax, we were just playing around.

Let's just get out of here. Good.

Everyone behind the counter

has an earring where an earring

does not belong.

Hey, Vern, looks like you're turning

into quite the little shopper.

Hey.

I've already mowed the lawn.

I know. Thanks for doing that.

So what do you want?

Well, I was thinking you and I could go grab a burger.

Why?

'Cause I thought it'd be a nice thing to do.

Which restaurant?

Why does it matter?

Well, McDonald's burgers are fried,

and sometimes I like flame-broiled.

Fine, we can go to Burger King.

I don't like the fries at Burger King.

Ooh, Arby's has

those curly fries.

Shoot, they don't have burgers.

Then let's go to Whataburger.

Okay, but I hope you're not this cranky the whole meal.

(exhales)

So,

we haven't really had a chance to talk much lately.

Why is it so hot in here?

AC's busted.

Why don't you get it fixed?

'Cause I got better things to spend my money on.

Anyway,

what I wanted to say

is, even though I'm not loving your attitude lately,

I think it's great you got this job

and y-you're doing so well at it.

I'm proud of you.

All right.

That's all you have to say?

Well, maybe if I wasn't sweating my balls off,

I could think of something else.

Just stick your head out the window.

If it's about money, I've got money.

It can even be a loan if it makes you feel better.

Don't you dare.

You said you're proud of my job. I don't think you are.

You know what? Forget lunch.

Let's just go home.

Smart. Save some money for your truck.

That's it.

You're walking.

ADULT SHELDON: I had survived a perilous trip to the accessory store,

but it turned out, the real accessory was me.
