Lyrics & Translation

[English]

What's your first class?

Solid-State Physics at 11:30.

We'll make it just in time.

Although, does... And before you say

"Does time even exist?" it does.

So stop wasting mine.

♪ So here's to the golden moon... ♪

What's this philosophy teacher's name?

Professor Ericson. Why?

I might pop in and say hello.

Be careful.

She may make you question your most deeply held values.

I'm a stubborn old crank.

I'll do just fine.

I'm a stubborn young crank, and it didn't help me.

♪ Make me feel happy... ♪

You wanted to see me?

Sit down.

Is this gonna take long? I need to get to class.

From what I hear, you don't care about that.

Now, sit.

What the hell you doin'?

I cut a class. Who cares?

It was more than one, and I care.

You start flunking out, you're gonna get kicked off the team.

Fine.

Now you don't care about football?

Not really.

I don't know what's going on with you,

but you better get your head out of your ass.

Football's a waste of time.

I have a job I could be at.

You made a commitment to the team and you're gonna honor it.

(exhales)

We done?

Just get back to class.

And I better see you at practice.

Well, I don't know if I can find it with my head up my ass.

LINKLETTER: So,

according to de Broglie, lambda equals "h"

divided by "m" times what?

Sheldon.

Is it velocity?

Yes. Now...

Or is it a velociraptor?

I'm sorry?

Perhaps lambda equals "h" divided

by "m" times a velociraptor.

Or a velveteen rabbit.

Ooh, or Velveeta.

That's the cheese my mom puts on broccoli

when she's being fancy.

Is this from your philosophy class

or perhaps that Ren & Stumpy I've heard about?

Philosophy.

Mr. Cooper, do you really believe

that de Broglie's equation contains Velveeta cheese?

I don't know. Maybe he was just trying to be fancy.

Hello.

Can I help you?

Hi. I'm Connie Tucker.

I'm Sheldon Cooper's grandmother.

Oh. Nice to meet you.

He is a remarkable young man.

Yes, he is. He's also a very impressionable young man.

Kind of like a lump of clay with a bow tie.

All I did was teach him about epistemology.

Whatever it is you're teaching him,

it has made him question everything.

That's the goal.

Lady, I had to threaten him with a chicken

so he'd put his pants on.

I don't know what's gotten into that kid.

He's allowed to not want to play football.

Can you for once in your life take my side, Wayne?

Not my fault you're never right.

So you think it's okay he just quits?

He doesn't get that much playing time.

Well, in my family, we don't quit.

Oh, I don't know. You quit my book club pretty quick.

I'm talking about football!

Why is it so important to you that he play?

Are you sure you're a coach?

Team sports provides confidence, leadership, discipline.

So does holding down a job,

which he seems to shine at.

Let's just eat in silence.

Fine.

I still think you should have read The Color Purple.

We were bawling.

Although tasty, a brick of cheese is not a number.

Why are we still talking about this?

Maybe we're not talking at all.
