Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hi.

What do you want? I baked you a pie.

Why?

Well, I was thinking we haven't had

the best history as neighbors.

That's 'cause we don't like each other.

Right, so I thought we could sit down over a slice of rhubarb pie

and, you know, forgive and forget.

I haven't done anything that needs forgiving.

Okay, well, that sounds like something

we could sit down and talk about over the pie.

BILLY (in distance): Mom, I'm bleeding again!

You know what, Mary? I appreciate it,

but this isn't a great time.

Bobbi stabbed Billy in the leg with a fork.

Good Lord. Is he okay?

It was a plastic fork,

but it broke the skin pretty good.

Oh, okay, I-I understand.

How about I take that pie and give you a rain check? Um, sure...

BILLY: I think there's mustard in the fork holes!

Got to go.

You can keep the pan!

(echoing): Sheldon.

Why are you running?

I just want to kiss you.

(screams)

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Dr. Sturgis?

Oh, Sheldon.

So nice to see you.

I think you tripped and hit your head.

I'm a bit woozy.

I better test for concussion.

What's your name?

John Burgess Sturgis.

Burgess Sturgis? Great name. Thank you.

Who's the president of the United States?

George Herbert Walker Bush.

I like Burgess Sturgis better.

'Cause it rhymes, sure.

Last question. What is the only fermion

that may not have an antiparticle?

The neutrino, of course.

I'm gonna rule out concussion.

To be fair, it was an easy question.

True. Wait here. I'm going to go get some ice for your head

and I'll fix you a hot beverage.

Oh. There's a, there's an Earl Grey tea bag in the sink.

I think it still has some oomph in it.

(indistinct chatter over TV)

Hey, what you doing?

Pretty much what it looks like.

Would you like some company?

Sure, I guess.

Of course, if you'd rather watch TV, I could leave you alone.

Oh, no, no. No, it's a rerun.

But even if it weren't...

Ooh.

(crying)

Hey, what... what's wrong?

Nothing. Keep going. (laughs)

(crying)

Mary?

George, I just miss my little boy so much,

and he's never gonna come back 'cause he doesn't need his mama.

(chuckles): Oh, baby, of course he'll come back.

No, you should've seen how happy he was.

All right, well, still got Georgie and Missy.

(crying loudly)

Uh, oh, dear.

(grunting)

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

(teakettle whistling)

Dr. Sturgis, your tea is on fire!

(siren wailing, fire truck horn honks)

Boy, it's a good thing we did this trial run.

No kidding. Ooh, it's chilly out.
