Lyrics & Translation

[English]

In the wire frame glasses.

The Eureka from Topeka.

Grant Linkletter.

I.Q. 159.

Papers published 272.

Bedtime 8:30.

Hi Connie, this is Doctor Linkletter.

I work in the physics department with Doctor Sturgis.

Oh sure, I remember you.

What can I do for ya?

Well, I'm just calling to let you know that John is fine, but there's been a bit of an incident at school today.

What happened?

He broke into the mainframe computer lab, tripped off an alarm.

Security came, and there was a chase.

A chase?

It was a short one, he's not a fast man.

Well, where is he now?

He's in the dean's office.

He has you listed as an emergency contact.

So I just wanted to let you know.

Well, uh, thank you so much for calling.

My pleasure.

If there anything else I can do, feel free to reach out.

Or if you'd like to go grab a coffee sometime, I know a cute little cafe.

Do you like scones?

You're not actually trying to hit on me right now, are you?

Is it working?

No.

All right Sheldon, time to turn in your test.

I'm not done yet.

I know you like to add your own "better" questions at the end, but for the last time,

I don't count them.

I just need a few more minutes on this problem.

That's an easy one.

Just apply the zeros of the Bessel function.

I know what I have to do!

Is this a tantrum?

I've heard children your age like to throw them.

I can't remember what the zeros of the Bessel function are.

You didn't memorize them?

Of course I did.

October 7th, 1988.

I just had a bowl of Teddy Grahams.

Then what's the problem?

I'm blanking, but I'll get it.

Sorry son, class is over.

No, I can do this.

It's just one question.

You'll still pass.

Sheldon Cooper doesn't just pass.

I have an idea.

Let me see the test.

Thank you.

Sheldon Cooper isn't always that gullible.

He was today.

She displayed complete contempt for science.

She claimed that knowledge was a myth. And then she told the class they could take their shoes off.

Some of them did.

Luckily, we've established you're a mature young man capable of figuring this out on his own.

So, go get him sport.

But as a man of science, aren't you offended by this?

Sheldon, this is a college campus.

You come across all sorts.

Anarchists, Communist, Vegans.

There's a fellow in the religion department that believes God is two women, and their names are Wendy and Claire.

But to say nobody actually knows anything.

How could she know that? It's a contradiction.

How about I blow some bubbles out of a bear's head and we call it a day?

I don't know how I'm going to last all semester with this freewheeling hippie.

Sheldon, I don't know what to tell you.

If you're that unhappy, just drop the class.

Of course.

Drop the class.

This is college.

I can do that.

There you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

From now on, I'm coming to you with all my problems.

No.

You can imagine my frustration when I found out East Texas Tech had faculty meetings

that I was not allowed to attend.

Excuse me.

Not that I didn't try.

Goodbye, Sheldon.

Darn it.

Next class.

It's not going to be me again.

Sheldon, out!

Aww!

Sorry, I thought you were an irritating young man who won't leave me alone.

That's rude.

Out.

I'm taking your grandmother out tonight.

She didn't mention it to me.

Maybe because it doesn't concern you.

My Meemaw, my professor who's in the middle of that Venn diagram?

Yes, two people at 8:00.

Eight's a little late for Meemaw.

What time does she like to eat?

Well, she's old like you.

So 6:30 at the latest.

Can we make that 6:30?

Wonderful, hold on.

Does she like French food?

I'll call you back.

Anyway, commander data.

Let me ask you a question.

If this Commander Data were taking your Meemaw out for dinner, where would they go?

Almost certainly The Holodeck.

Sounds trendy.

Is that in Houston?

Sheldon?

Yes.

What is the angular momentum of the neutron and the proton inside deuterium?

Oh, um, L equal zero.

Close, you're missing the 4% admixture of L equals two.

Sorry, I'm a little distracted.

It happens, anyway-

Normally I would have gotten that right.

I have no doubt.

Anyway-

There are just some things going on at home, and I'm not allowed to talk about it.

And we don't want to hear about it.

I can tell you no one's sick in case you're concerned.

Anyone concerned?

Show of hands.

No? Moving on.

That's why I got the answer wrong.

Son, it's just a mistake.

Everyone makes them.

Like my brother Georgie did when he got that girl pregnant.

Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it!

What?

I need to use the restroom.

This is college, just go.

You, red shirt.

Lock the door.
