[English]

Uh, fortunately, thanks to my brain,

I've been playing it for years.

You cheeky little muon,

you know you don't belong there.

Don't look at me. He's your kid.

Someone likes snow globes.

I hope so. I don't want 'em.

Okay.

What do we got here?

Farmhouse Kitchen.

The Complete Guide to Your Child's Mental...

Oh, look, that cute little book light-- I'll get that, too.

(chuckles nervously) Okay.

You still want the crazy kid book, right?

Yeah.

(receipt prints)

Okay,

52 Texas snow globes

comes to...

$55.25.

Can't you do any better?

What do you mean?

You're going out of business

and I'm buying 'em all.

Give me a break.

Okay, $50.

George. (snorts)

Huh? (grunts)

Hey, that's clever.

I'm reading this book about mental problems,

and I'm worried it sounds like Sheldon.

Well, stop reading the book.

Shelly and Dr. Sturgis have a lot in common,

and look what happened.

What, you mean like how he went to...

ADULT SHELDON: As a society, we've made strides

in how we discuss psychological issues.

30 years ago in East Texas,

let's just say we hadn't.

...cuckoo, cuckoo. (blubbers)

Hey. (laughs)

That could be your son one day.

(scoffs) Honey, just 'cause they're both super smart

doesn't mean that they're the same person.

I mean, Sturgis was in love with your mom,

so clearly he was nuts from the get-go.

You're not helping.

I'm not wrong, either.

Love you.

♪ ♪

Why aren't you also driving Missy to school?

I thought it might be nice for us to chat.

About Missy?

She is a bit much, isn't she?

Here's a question for you.

Do you ever see or hear things that other people can't?

Oh, all the time.

Right now, the car antenna is vibrating

at the same frequency as the pistons in the motor.

It's quite irritating, but you know me--

I don't complain.

I meant more like things

that aren't actually there.

Ah, isn't that the fundamental question of modern metaphysics?

What is actually there?

This is fun.

Missy should ride with Dad more often.

Let me try this a different way.

Um, do you ever feel paranoid,

like people are out to get you?

I'm a ten-year-old in high school--

people are out to get me.

That's fair.

I just think if I was having these feelings,

that might be scary, right?

I suppose so.

And this is something that's been concerning you?

Maybe. Lately.

A little.

But the important thing is that we can always talk

about this kind of thing with each other.

Do you have any books on mental health?

Sure. Why?

I believe my mother is unraveling.
