Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Shelley, I was looking at your college

catalog. There are a lot of fun clubs.

Might be a nice way to make some new

friends.

I don't need friends. I have Dr.

Linkletter.

And he's fun.

But did you know that there's a science

fiction club? You like science fiction?

I prefer science fact.

Then maybe you might enjoy the astronomy

club, Outer space and such.

Oh, you can meet other people from your

planet.

Read your magazine.

Why are you so interested in me joining a

club?

I just want to make sure that you get the

full college experience.

I suppose my so-called peers could benefit

from my presence.

And you might benefit too.

A nice thought, but I don't spread my

sunshine for selfish reasons.

Give me the catalog.

You tried and that's what counts.

Hello, lunch friend.

Hi, Sheldon.

Egg salad, Stinky.

What do you want?

I have some bad news.

I'm going to join a club on campus, which

means we won't be able to have lunch

together.

Wonderful for you.

Sad for me. Happy trails.

Oh, no. We're still having lunch today.

You get to help me decide which club I

should join.

Terrific.

For some reason, Dr.

Linkletter felt it was important that I

start my quest to join a club immediately.

The interview process was tougher than you'd

expect.

So why exactly should I join your club?

Well, cool people.

Good chess players.

And when the weather's nice, we meet in the

quad outside?

Yes.

Under trees?

Yes. Where birds live?

Yes.

I think we're done here.

So what kind of activities does the Science

fiction Club engage in?

Well, this Friday we're having a screening of

Star Wars on Laserdisc.

I thought this was the science fiction club.

It is. Star Wars is science fantasy.

The force is basically magic.

At that point, you might as well be watching

The Hobbit.

That's next week.

This is madness Proposition.

The newest member of the debate club should

be Sheldon Cooper. You're the affirmative.

Go. Sheldon Cooper.

Me and I believe I should not join the

debate team because there are far more

valuable uses of my time.

Do you want to join or not?

That's the debate, isn't it?

I don't know what's happening.

If you're thrown for a loop, wait until you

hear my rebuttal. Sheldon Cooper should not

join the debate team because your leadership

is clearly questionable.

Okay. You're not in the club.

Ha!

I win. Wait.

Aren't you going to call him back?

No, it's his old lady.

She keeps getting me to run her errands and

do her chores.

You don't even do that here.

I know she's not your grandma.

Just call her back and say no.

You're up.

Thanks again.

Uh huh.

What are you going to do with all these

plants?

Put them in the garden.

Sounds like a lot of work.

No.

So why are you taking me instead of Dale?

Well, last time he and I went casino hopping,

it didn't work out too hot cause he proposed

and you said no.

Why would he tell you that?

Hey, don't feel bad.

I'm the dummy that said yes to him.

Well, I guess you got a point there that

will turn it up. I love that song.

Crazy. I'm crazy for feeling so lonely.

You know, they got karaoke at the lounge.

Oh. Hey, easy.

Crazy for feeling so blue.

Wow.

That's some voice you got.

Thank you.

Sheldon, why are you at my desk?

I like your keyboard.

The ones at the library are too.

Clacky.

I thought you were going to join a club.

I tried, but they each had their own

problems.

My chance for any of those problems.

You.

You're so funny. I missed this.

Would you like your seat back?

Yes. I'd also like my office back.

What do you mean.

Son? You can't just hang out here whenever

you want.

Why not? We're friends.

No, I'm a professor.

You're a student. I'm 68.

You're 11. Do you see where I'm headed?

Here? Nope.

Sheldon, I've tried to be nice about this,

but you're just not taking the hint.

If you have questions about class, I'm here.

Otherwise, please leave me alone.

I understand.

Thank you.
