Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, Tam. I can't find Sheldon.

You know where he is?

I promised not to say.

Tam...

Lucky for you I'm weak.

Are you kidding me?

I knew Tam was weak.

What do you think you're doing?

Exploring the impact of the French invasion

on Imperial Russian society.

Well, get out of here.

You're going back to class.

No, I'm not.

Excuse me?

I don't learn anything in class.

But in here I've taught myself the applications

of gravitational lensing,

Faraday's law of magnetic induction,

and how to whistle.

(blows air)

Well, sound came out yesterday.

Y-You can't spend your day in a broom closet.

It's no longer a broom closet.

It's now a citadel of higher learning.

Which one says "Robin, I like you"

but also says "God is watching,

(whispers): be cool"?

The blue one. (intercom beeps)

PEG: Mary, your husband's on the line.

Excuse me. Yeah, blue.

Definitely blue.

Although...

Everything okay?

Sheldon locked himself in a broom closet,

and he's refusing to go to class.

What's he doing in a closet?

Apparently, learning about Russia.

(sighs): Well,

what do you want me to do?

I want you to handle it.

You're right there-- why can't you handle it?

'Cause I'm at work. So am I.

You know what I mean.

That you have a real job and I don't?

Mary, I have football practice in ten minutes, and I...

I don't have time to deal with this.

Well, you're gonna have to, 'cause I'm busy.

You tell him, sister.

The bolo tie's too sexy, right?

Knew it.

Hope you're happy-- your mother and I are fighting now!

There's a closet, it... My son made a citadel.

Never mind.

Sheldon, go to your room. Gladly.

He's just gonna read in there.

I'd take away Professor Proton.

Stay out of this.

No more Professor Proton!

SHELDON: Aw.

That's how you do it.

I can't believe you didn't make him go to class.

You told me to handle it; I handled it.

That one's on you.

You didn't handle it. You didn't do anything.

I had to get to practice, and I made a decision.

He was in the building, he was safe, and he was learning.

He is never gonna improve his social skills

if he's sitting all alone.

He has to be around people.

Sounds like you know what he needs-- go fix it.

'Cause I have to do everything, right?

Oh. Someone's sleeping on the couch tonight.

Get out of here!

MEEMAW: Well, maybe Shel is

just acting out

'cause he doesn't have his college class

to go to anymore.

I could ask John's professor friend.

Maybe he'd let him sit in on a class.

And you are just bringing this up now?

I would've said something earlier,

but I was enjoying the fight. (chuckles)

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Hi, Dr. Linkletter.

It's Connie Tucker. Connie.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

I need a favor. Of course. Anything.

Should we discuss it over dinner?

I'll take a rain check on that.

I was hoping

that my grandson could join in your physics class

until John is, uh...

back.

From the mental hospital?

Yes.

The one he never told you he'd been in before?

Yes.

A curious ethical choice on his part, if you ask me.

Can he take the class or not?

Of course.

Although, I never taught a child before.

Is he potty-trained?
