Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Here we go.

Petting... the dog.

I'm doing it.

I'm petting a dog.

I've conquered my phobia.

You're a good boy. Yes, you are.

(sighs)

I'm sorry for the unkind things I said to you.

Me, too.

Connie?

What?

Anything you'd like to say?

Not particularly.

Mom.

Okay.

I'm sorry for the things I said,

and, you know, what happened at the bowling alley.

As am I.

Here.

I think this came out of your head.

He licked me! He licked me!

The dog licked my tongue!

I can still taste it!

Call 911! (door slams)

I think Jesus might go check that out.

(Sheldon gargling)

How's it going in there, baby?

SHELDON: (spits) Okay, but we're gonna need more Listerine.

(gargling)

I'm proud of him for trying to overcome that damn dog phobia.

You should tell him that.

Well, if he ever leaves that bathroom, I will.

What I can't figure out is why that dog is so drawn to Sheldon.

Beats me.

You say his owner's in the slammer? Yeah.

Wonder what kind of fella he is.

(rock music plays)

(sniffing)

(whines)

It's a mystery.

I guess we'll never know.

MEEMAW: Hey, Moonpie.

I got you a little something to help you

get over your fear of animals.

A tranquilizer gun?

A pet fish.

Why?

Well, I thought you could start small

and then work your way up.

Look, he's kind of cute.

He doesn't even care that I'm here. I like him.

What are you gonna name him?

Fish.

Fish?

I'm not ready to get attached.

Fish are kind of boring.

I know, isn't it great?

But you can't even pet 'em.

Maybe we can.

(screaming)

Baby, what's wrong?

I tried to pet Fish! Ah, he was so slimy!

Well, yeah, he's a fish.

I put my finger in the top of the tank, then I touched him,

and he bit me!

Oh, I'm sure he didn't bite you.

SHELDON: I can't breathe.

His fish blood is mixing with my human blood.

Maybe he was just trying to give you a kiss. No.

He hates me. I never want to see him again.

Oh, Sheldon, you're being silly.

Fish like this don't bite.

Look. See? He's harmless.

Son of a bitch!

Dad killed my fish!

George!

He'll be fine.

Just got to put him back in the bowl.

Oh, George.
