Lyrics & Translation

[English]

What's going on? It's a little hard to

explain. He does this thing where he

pretends he's in an alternate dimension

that occupies the same physical space

we're in, but he can't perceive us.

Don't flatter yourself. I'm just

ignoring you.

Come on, Sheldon. Let's go home. Look,

we're done fighting. I've heard that

before. Then the next thing you know,

I'm hiding in my bedroom blaring a

Richard Fineman lecture while my mom is

shouting that Jesus would forgive her if

she put ground glass in my dad's

meatloaf. And my dad's on the roof ski

shooting her Franklin mint collectible

plates.

There's going to be no more shouting and

no SK shooting. Really? Where's your

friend Justin going to sleep? Yeah.

Where is he going to sleep? Oh my god.

Would you let this go? I'd let it go.

Why should I let it go? Why don't you

just tell the guy to find another place

to

sleep? Oh, for God's sakes.

[Applause]

So, you have childhood issues. We all

have childhood issues. At some point,

you just need to grow up and get past

them.

Fire. Please help me handle this,

please. Look, let's

Sheldon, please try and understand.

Look, Leonard and I are in a

relationship and occasionally we're

going to fight, but no matter what

happens between us, we will always love

you.

Right, Leonard?

Always is a long time.

Sure. Always. You know, how about we buy

you this robot and then we all go home?

I want that one.

Okay, you can have that one. Oh, come

on. He's just going to play with it

twice and that'll end up in his closet

with all the other junk.

Buy him the robot, Leonard.

Can I get this comic book, too? Yes, you

can.
