Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Good night, baby. Night, Mama.

Love you. Love you, too.

Oh, hello.

I was just brushing my teeth like I do every night.

(laughs nervously) Nothing new there.

You all right?

Yes. I'm cool.

I'm very cool.

Tell Sheldon what cool means.

Hush.

Sweet dreams.

Love you.

Love you, too, 'cause you're my mom.

(laughs nervously)

You're so weird.

More than usual?

No, I guess not.

Perfect.

ADULT SHELDON: To avoid looking suspicious,

I tried to interactwith mymom as little as possible.

Thankfully, it's rude to speak with your mouth full.

You look tired, baby. Sleep okay?

Mm-hmm.

So how big a tax refund you think we're gonna get?

Mm.

Mornin'. Mornin'.

I slept in the nude last night.

Felt every little breeze.

Thank you for sharing that.

You're welcome.

Fight, you cowards, fight!

You fight, Skeletor.

Mare, we got any batteries?!

MARY: Look in the drawer by the refrigerator.

ADULT SHELDON: There was only so much food I could eat,

so I started avoiding my mother whenever possible.

(gasps)

(whispering) What are you doing in there?

(whispering): Keeping your secret.

You got to pull it together.

This is me pulling it together.

Pull harder. MARY: Find 'em?

Yeah. (chuckles) Got 'em. Thanks.

You're very welcome. Hey, have you noticed

anything off with Sheldon?

Uh, no, no, no. Can't say that I have. Why?

He's been awful quiet, and, at the risk of being indelicate,

he's gone several days without a bowel movement.

How do you know that?

Well, I was worried about him,

so I took a look in his potty journal.

He's still keeping that thing, huh?

Oh, yeah, that's why he wanted the Polaroid camera.

Uh, well, I'm sure he's gonna be fine,

uh, but I'll keep an eye on him.

Thank you. You got it.

(whispering): She's gone. SHELDON: Thank you.

Batteries are in this drawer.

(knocking on door)

We got a problem.

I don't know how much longer Sheldon can hold out.

This is why I did not want you to write a check.

Well, I'm sorry, but I didn't have

that kind of cash lying around.

I do not want Mary to find out about this.

Well, what about Sheldon?

The kid hasn't pooped in days, he might pop.

Slip a little Metamucil into his apple juice, he'll be fine.

Why don't we just come clean?

All right, sure, we could do that.

You could rat me out to Mary and...

I could tell her what you did at the church picnic.

Come on.

Now you're just playing dirty.

We sink or swim together, George.

We sink or swim together.

Grandmas are supposed to be nice.

What went wrong with you?
