Sheldon, can you come in here
for a minute?!
00:00
-Have a seat.
We want to talk to you.
-All right.
00:05
So, today we found out
about a school in Dallas
00:10
for really smart kids.
00:13
Hold on. Dallas is far away,
00:17
so you'd have to live
with another family.
00:19
Do they have a dog?
00:21
Well, can you make some calls?
00:25
I guess, but wouldn't you miss
your mom and dad?
00:28
Yes, I suppose I will.
00:34
So, when are you calling
about the dog?
00:38
You know him so well.
00:43
What's wrong with them?
01:02
What are you
talking about?
01:04
Are they on medication?
01:08
No, they're just
smart like you.
01:10
I've been going to school
in a zoo.
01:13
Not sure about
these uniforms.
01:15
Sheldon, I've been looking over
your transcripts
01:20
and I must say,
I am very impressed.
01:22
What's your doctorate in?
01:27
Noncommutative Algebraic
Topology.
01:28
It's gonna be weird around here
without Sheldon.
01:34
Don't you mean
less weird?
01:37
I wasn't trying for nice.
01:40
You sure you're
not jealous
01:41
'cause your little brother's
01:43
moving up in the world?
01:44
Hey, I got plans of my own.
01:45
-Do tell.
-Soon as I graduate
01:47
high school, I'm gonna be
a professional male model.
01:49
What? I'm good-lookin'.
01:54
No, that you think you'll
graduate high school.
01:56
The model thing
was funny, too.
02:00
in all the years I've been here,
I have never seen
02:05
such glowing letters
of recommendation
02:07
from a student's teachers.
02:09
-Well, that's real nice to hear.
-Now, listen to this:
02:10
"Putting aside his
superior intellect,
02:13
"Sheldon is a delight
to have in the class.
02:16
"easy to get along with,
02:19
and always ready to help
another student.”
02:21
That doesn't sound like me
at all.
02:23
Sure it does, sweetie.
02:25
Oh, no. Please call me Flora.
02:27
Flora, I have to ask about
the living arrangements.
02:29
That's our main concern.
02:32
Well, I think I can
reassure you about that.
02:34
My husband and I have been
hosting a student
02:36
for the last several years
who recently graduated
02:38
and is now at Princeton.
02:41
So we have a guest room
available in our home.
02:42
That's very generous of you.
02:45
Does your husband work
at the school also?
02:47
He was an astrophysicist
for NASA.
02:51
Please tell me
you don't have a dog.
02:53
No. We're both allergic.
02:55
-(knocking on door)
-SHELDON: Meemaw?
03:03
I know. I look great.
03:11
I got you a little
going away gift.
03:13
This necklace has been
03:16
in our family
for generations.
03:18
It belonged
to a Comanche warrior
03:20
who gave it to your
great-great-great-great grandma.
03:23
Why'd he give it to her?
03:26
Well, according
to family lore,
03:28
she was, uh, a very
accommodating young lady
03:31
and, uh, they hit it off.
03:34
That's a bird feather.
03:37
-Eagle feather.
-Doesn't matter.
03:38
I don't like birds;
birds are filthy.
03:40
One featherless
family heirloom
03:46
for you to take with you and
keep you safe while you're away.
03:49
You don't actually believe this
has magic powers, do you?
03:51
Oh, for God's sake,
just say "thank you."
03:55
There's a price tag on it.
04:02
