[English]

PICARD: Captain's log, stardate 44307.3.

I am preparing to leave by shuttlecraft...

("I'm Always Here" by Jimi Jamison playing)

♪ Some people stand ♪

♪ In the darkness, afraid to step... ♪

♪ Don't you worry... ♪

No.

No.

♪ I'll be ready. ♪

Georgie!

Georgie, why are there

bathing suit ladies where Captain Picard should be?

Georgie!

He's not home. What's going on?

Georgie taped over Star Trek: The Next Generation.

So? Watch something else. I don't want to watch something else.

I want to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation.

And I want to feel bad for you, but I don't.

The television station's in Houston.

Drive me there. I'm sure they have a copy of it.

(chuckles): I'm not driving to Houston.

Well, then, I should warn you, I am very unhappy.

Okay.

In fact, I am peeved.

Okay.

I would slam this door right now,

but it would startle me, so just imagine I did.

Okay.

ADULT SHELDON: None of my friends

had recorded the episode.

I called Tam. I called Dr. Sturgis.

Those were all my friends.

PICARD: Engage. (Star Trek theme playing)

Fortunately, having a modem granted me

access to an even better kind of friend:

the kind you don't have to see or talk to.

(chicken clucks)

(chicken clucks)

(clucking)

(screams)

(yelps)

(clucking)

Why would you bring that pecking poop machine into our home?

To save her life. What about my life?

She's not trying to kill you. Oh, yeah?

Then why was there hate in her eyes?

That's how everybody looks at you.

(door closes) GEORGE SR.: I got lunch!

Dad, Missy put a chicken in my room!

The Sparks were gonna kill her and eat her!

The hell's going on?

How could you?

What?

(sighs)

I miss your mother.

All right, here I am.

What's the emergency?

Sheldon's mad at Georgie 'cause he taped over his space show,

but now he's hiding in the garage

'cause Missy brought home Billy's chicken.

And Missy's hiding in the bathroom

'cause I brought home fried chicken.

Good luck.

Oh, come on, help me out!

What are you doing to help?

I called your ass over here. Where's Mary?

At church planning Pastor Jeff's wedding.

And she left you in charge?

Yeah. Well, that was dumb.

Thank you. Okay.

Let's split up.

You want live chicken or dead chicken?

Stay back!

Calm down. We're taking her home.

To be murdered.

Okay, have fun.

Can y'all keep it down?

I have a bone to pick with you, sir.

What'd I do? You taped over my Star Trek episode.

So?

So, now I may never get to see it.

What if it was a two-parter?

I can't start a two-parter on part two. That's madness.

I think I'm gonna go.

Okay.

Hola, señorita.

She's in my Spanish class.

I'll call you later.

Te veo mañana en la clase de español.

What?

That means, "See you tomorrow in Spanish class."

I was going to ask how you thought you did

on Friday's quiz, but I'm guessing the answer is no bueno.

Adios.

(door opens) What?
