[English]

♪ ♪

This is oddly reminiscent of a dinner with my family.

You're funny.

I know.

My family never eats dinner together.

Why not?

My dad always manages to come home from work after we're done.

Hmm. My dad never misses a meal.

Do you think Stone Age parents stayed together forever?

They had to. There were no lawyers.

(laughs) What?

That was funny.

Right, we've established I'm funny.

Well, I think my parents are getting a divorce.

Why?

They fight all the time.

About what? Mostly me.

Hmm. That's too bad.

I guess I'm lucky.

Why?

I'm the glue that holds our family together.

(knocking)

What are you kids doing in there?

Okay, ten cents a week for a whole year.

I get the raccoon, and to tell people you're my girlfriend.

15 cents a week, and if you say hello to me in school,

I'll say hello back.

Deal.

Connie, I need to apologize.

Oh, that's okay. Don't worry about it.

No, I am worrying about it.

I didn't realize that with you and I being in a relationship,

me wearing your dead husband's clothes

would be emotionally challenging for you.

All right, apology accepted.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

I guess I just didn't expect that getting rid of my...

my husband's stuff was gonna hit me so hard.

He must have been a wonderful man.

(laughs) Well, he had his moments.

He was married to a wonderful woman, so that says a lot.

You're pretty wonderful yourself.

Thank you.

Now, let's talk about this hula girl lamp.

What's your best price?

It's my gift to you.

Nice haggle.

Nice mullet.

Thanks again.

Real sorry about this.

What were you thinking?

I got bored.

'Cause you're a baby.

LINDA: What happened?

BARRY: Everything's fine.

They just wandered off.

Hey, Linda, nice to see you.

George, Sheldon's dad.

Oh, sure, yes. Hi.

Well, good to see you folks.

Take care.

Did you know that her parents are getting a divorce?

Just keep walking. Keep walking.

(laughing): What... what is that for?

Well, can't I appreciate my wife?

What did you do now?

I didn't do anything.

Want to hear something cool?

Sheldon skipped out of that lecture

with that little Paige girl, snuck into a closed exhibit.

You're kidding. True. (laughs)

Even got, uh, "arrested" by the museum security cops.

Why would you think that's cool?

Sheldon got into trouble with a girl!

I'm bursting with pride.

(sighs)

You know what? I don't want to talk about it.

There, right there.

That's why I love you.
