Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I think you might be getting a little ahead of yourself.

I don't think so. They're in love.

They were looking into each other's eyes

like there was something in there

other than corneas and irises.

Well, if that's the case, that'd be wonderful.

It'd be more than wonderful.

If they get married, we immediately double

the number of smart people in our family.

That means we go from one to two.

I got that.

So, did you understand any of it?

-Not a word. -(laughs)

But he had on a tweed jacket with the elbow patches,

so he must know what he's talking about.

Boy, Sheldon's fired up.

Oh, he loved it.

He sat there for an hour and a half

just as happy as a pig in poop.

He mentioned you were pretty happy

about the whole experience, too.

Well, I guess Mr. Wizard did take

a bit of a shine to me.

What's that mean?

It means he asked me out to dinner.

-No big deal. -So, you going?

When have you known me to turn down a free meal?

Ain't that the truth.

Says the Pillsbury Doughboy.

Ain't that the truth.

(Mary and Meemaw chuckling)

I do have feelings, y'all.

Don't put on too much of that.

We want him to like you for your mind.

I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to men.

If that's true, then why do you live alone?

Because my husband died. Any other questions?

-(doorbell rings) -He's here!

I'll get it.

Maybe that is a bit much.

-Hello, Dr. Sturgis. -Hello, Sheldon.

Come in. Meemaw's upstairs getting ready for your date.

Wonderful.

Oh, my, this is a lovely house.

Isn't it? Can you see yourself living here?

I can.

Here are some things you might find helpful about Meemaw.

Her favorite color is purple,

her favorite ice cream: mint chip,

and her favorite food is Mexican.

Excellent. Good to know.

She loves gambling, bowling, and especially me.

You can't talk enough about me.

Tell me more about you.

-My favorite color is blue. -Mine, too.

-My favorite ice cream: vanilla. -Good man.

My favorite food: spaghetti with hot dogs cut up in it.

I've never had that.

-What's your favorite food? -Grilled cheese.

What about the risk of mouth burn?

It's a perfect excuse for vanilla ice cream.

If you want to propose tonight, you have my blessing.

Hello, boys.

-Hello, Connie. -(chuckles)

These are for you.

Aw, thank you. They're beautiful.

Some of them are purple.

So they are.

I should probably get 'em into some water.

I can do that.

You two begin your courtship.

-Moonpie. -Yes?

Go home.

So you can begin the courtship, got it.

Go!

Dr. Sturgis,

I just want you to know I couldn't be more pleased.

-(chuckles) 

-Well, let me take care of these,

and then we'll head out.

I just need to

borrow your phone to call a cab.

Why?

I don't drive.

Well, how did you get here?

I rode my bicycle.

You rode your bicycle?

I have a Schwinn Speedster.

It's got three gears. I only use one.

I tell you what, how about we take my car?

Excellent.

So, would you be opposed

to me sitting in the back seat?

It's statistically the safest part of the car.

Actually, I would.

Asked and Answered.
