1
00:00:01,552 --> 00:00:03,203
Previously, on
"Young Sheldon"...
2
00:00:03,565 --> 00:00:04,605
What the hell's wrong
3
00:00:04,689 --> 00:00:05,934
- with you?
- What is going on?
4
00:00:06,018 --> 00:00:07,632
He's dropping out of school!
5
00:00:07,716 --> 00:00:09,505
- What?!
- It's not a big deal.
6
00:00:09,589 --> 00:00:11,958
You are finishing high school,
end of discussion.
7
00:00:12,042 --> 00:00:14,169
- It's my life.
- It's my house.
8
00:00:14,253 --> 00:00:16,585
If you don't go to school,
you can't live here.
9
00:00:16,743 --> 00:00:18,817
Hold on.
We are not kicking him out.
10
00:00:18,901 --> 00:00:20,231
The hell we're not.
11
00:00:20,315 --> 00:00:21,804
I'll pack right now.
12
00:00:21,893 --> 00:00:23,692
Stop.
You don't have to go.
13
00:00:23,776 --> 00:00:26,796
Yes, he does.
My house, my rules.
14
00:00:29,370 --> 00:00:30,868
I've always had a curious
15
00:00:30,952 --> 00:00:32,606
affinity for Laundromats.
16
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:35,028
Perhaps it's the rows
of mechanical devices
17
00:00:35,112 --> 00:00:36,801
dedicated to a cleaner world.
18
00:00:36,885 --> 00:00:38,949
Or maybe it's
the hypnotic rotation
19
00:00:39,033 --> 00:00:41,707
of spinning clothes
on their sudsy journey
20
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:44,457
to a fluffy,
stain-free future.
21
00:00:44,541 --> 00:00:46,312
Mmm, look at 'em.
22
00:00:46,736 --> 00:00:47,661
Where was I?
23
00:00:47,745 --> 00:00:49,528
Oh, yes.
Laundromats.
24
00:00:49,612 --> 00:00:51,840
My meemaw
also loved them,
25
00:00:51,924 --> 00:00:54,850
but for an entirely
different reason.
26
00:01:00,844 --> 00:01:02,604
Banana, banana...
27
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:04,231
Whoo!
28
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,354
Personally,
I don't care for bananas.
29
00:01:07,438 --> 00:01:09,004
It's a texture thing.
30
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,752
- There you go.
- Oh, big night.
31
00:01:11,836 --> 00:01:12,916
Yep.
32
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,432
You can just put it
on my tab.
33
00:01:14,516 --> 00:01:16,822
Actually,
I'm gonna need you to cash out.
34
00:01:16,906 --> 00:01:20,150
- How come?
- I'm, uh, fixin' to close up for good.
35
00:01:20,234 --> 00:01:21,681
What? Why?
36
00:01:21,765 --> 00:01:23,416
Gonna spend more time
with the grandkids.
37
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,408
I got grandkids, too.
38
00:01:25,492 --> 00:01:27,179
Why do you think
I'm here so much?
39
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:30,277
So who's gonna
take over this place?
40
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,808
Guess what,
I'm buying a Laundromat.
41
00:01:34,906 --> 00:01:37,020
Uh, I don't know how to react.
42
00:01:37,104 --> 00:01:38,555
Is that good news?
43
00:01:38,639 --> 00:01:40,082
Oh, yeah.
44
00:01:40,991 --> 00:01:42,363
Laundromat.
45
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,465
Cool.

Season 05 Episode 04
52
00:02:01,717 --> 00:02:03,550
Title: "Pish Posh and a Secret Back Room"
Aired on: October 28, 2021.
53
00:02:04,148 --> 00:02:05,188
Fun fact...
54
00:02:05,272 --> 00:02:06,751
Did you know the knife goes
on the right because
55
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:07,836
it was the first utensil,
56
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,489
and most people
are right-handed?
57
00:02:09,601 --> 00:02:12,055
Did you know I set the table
and no one said thank you?
58
00:02:12,139 --> 00:02:13,649
No one thanked me
for my fun fact.
59
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:15,663
You don't hear me complaining.
60
00:02:16,609 --> 00:02:17,793
Hey.
61
00:02:18,992 --> 00:02:20,425
What are you doing here?
62
00:02:21,062 --> 00:02:22,712
Just thought I could
have dinner with y'all.
63
00:02:22,796 --> 00:02:24,056
Of course you can.
64
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:25,988
I'm sorry,
do you live here?
65
00:02:26,578 --> 00:02:27,447
Just forget it.
66
00:02:27,531 --> 00:02:29,009
- No. Stay.
- Mary...
67
00:02:29,093 --> 00:02:31,004
He can have
dinner with us.
68
00:02:32,078 --> 00:02:33,254
Fine.
69
00:02:33,772 --> 00:02:34,933
Sit.
70
00:02:35,460 --> 00:02:36,949
I'll get you a plate.
71
00:02:39,427 --> 00:02:41,844
So,
doyou still live here?
72
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:42,931
I don't know.
73
00:02:43,015 --> 00:02:44,384
Of course you do.
74
00:02:44,468 --> 00:02:45,330
You go back to school?
75
00:02:45,414 --> 00:02:46,501
No.
76
00:02:46,585 --> 00:02:47,962
It sounds like
you don't live here.
77
00:02:48,046 --> 00:02:50,367
He's our son.
We are not kicking him out.
78
00:02:50,451 --> 00:02:52,830
He wants to be an adult,
he can pay for his own place.
79
00:02:52,914 --> 00:02:54,024
That was my plan.
80
00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:56,595
Okay, what if
he pitches in here?
81
00:02:56,679 --> 00:02:57,961
Like what, rent?
82
00:02:58,045 --> 00:03:00,230
Yes.
You would do that, right?
83
00:03:00,757 --> 00:03:01,791
I guess so.
84
00:03:01,875 --> 00:03:04,175
Sounds like someone needs
a rental agreement.
85
00:03:04,259 --> 00:03:06,558
I'll go
get my legal pad.
86
00:03:07,968 --> 00:03:11,246
Pay to live here?
We don't even have a pool.
87
00:03:13,531 --> 00:03:14,595
So,
88
00:03:14,679 --> 00:03:17,485
there's a secret back room
at the Laundromat
89
00:03:17,569 --> 00:03:19,449
- where you gamble?
- Yeah.
90
00:03:19,795 --> 00:03:21,039
And you never told me?
91
00:03:21,123 --> 00:03:22,865
Well, this is how
secrets work.
92
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:24,910
Uh-huh.
What else aren't you telling me?
93
00:03:24,994 --> 00:03:27,086
Let me explain
secrets.
94
00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:30,121
Uh, okay,
just give me a sense
95
00:03:30,304 --> 00:03:32,138
of how illegal
this is.
96
00:03:32,234 --> 00:03:33,649
Who says it's illegal?
97
00:03:33,733 --> 00:03:35,181
Well, why is it a secret?
98
00:03:35,265 --> 00:03:36,922
Okay, it's illegal.
99
00:03:37,006 --> 00:03:39,322
But these places
have been around for years.
100
00:03:39,406 --> 00:03:41,680
Nobody gets hurt,
the cops don't care.
101
00:03:41,764 --> 00:03:44,016
I-I thought you liked being
retired...
102
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:45,673
now you want to be
a business owner?
103
00:03:45,757 --> 00:03:48,548
It's not as much as fun
as I make it look.
104
00:03:48,632 --> 00:03:50,199
Listen,
105
00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:52,258
I've been gambling
my whole life
106
00:03:52,342 --> 00:03:54,222
and losing
to the house.
107
00:03:54,452 --> 00:03:58,878
This is my chance
to be the house.
108
00:03:59,977 --> 00:04:02,227
You go to prison,
I ain't waitin' for you.
109
00:04:02,311 --> 00:04:05,496
You really have the energy
to find a new girlfriend?
110
00:04:06,132 --> 00:04:07,542
I'll wait.
111
00:04:09,437 --> 00:04:11,165
Okay, so we've agreed
on monthly rent.
112
00:04:11,249 --> 00:04:12,677
Should we talk utilities?
113
00:04:12,761 --> 00:04:14,378
Why do I got to pay
for that stuff?
114
00:04:14,614 --> 00:04:16,666
'Cause you use them
and they cost money.
115
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:18,071
There are five of us
in the house,
116
00:04:18,155 --> 00:04:20,379
so I suggest he pays 20%.
117
00:04:20,463 --> 00:04:22,602
Although he does take a
long time drying that hair.
118
00:04:22,686 --> 00:04:23,822
20%'s fine.
119
00:04:23,906 --> 00:04:26,493
Hold on.
It takes a whole lot more water
120
00:04:26,577 --> 00:04:27,470
to clean you than me.
121
00:04:27,554 --> 00:04:29,617
Hey, watch it.
I don't have to let you live here.
122
00:04:29,701 --> 00:04:31,620
Let me?
I'm paying for everything.
123
00:04:31,704 --> 00:04:32,993
You gonna charge me
for food, too?
124
00:04:33,077 --> 00:04:34,430
Mm,
it's not the worst idea.
125
00:04:34,514 --> 00:04:35,376
You know what?
126
00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:36,939
Maybe I shouldn't be
in this house.
127
00:04:37,023 --> 00:04:38,245
You said it,
not me.
128
00:04:38,329 --> 00:04:39,938
He doesn't have
to pay for food.
129
00:04:40,022 --> 00:04:41,628
Meemaw does eat here
for free.
130
00:04:41,712 --> 00:04:43,242
That's a
separate problem.
131
00:04:43,326 --> 00:04:45,917
What if Georgie moves
into the garage?
132
00:04:46,326 --> 00:04:47,892
Why?
You'd still be around,
133
00:04:47,976 --> 00:04:49,360
so Mom's happy,
but you'd be
134
00:04:49,444 --> 00:04:51,059
out of the house,
so Dad's happy.
135
00:04:51,733 --> 00:04:54,046
That could work.
What do you say?
136
00:04:55,038 --> 00:04:56,422
Done.- Done.
137
00:04:56,506 --> 00:04:57,960
- Hold on.
- All my trains
138
00:04:58,044 --> 00:04:59,782
and science equipment
are in the garage.
139
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:00,702
Where would they go?
140
00:05:00,786 --> 00:05:02,087
Easy.
I take Georgie's room.
141
00:05:02,171 --> 00:05:03,814
All your crap goes
in your room.
142
00:05:03,898 --> 00:05:05,969
That's a big change.
I need to think about this.
143
00:05:06,053 --> 00:05:07,146
Mom?
144
00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:09,267
Honey,
it does make sense.
145
00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:11,278
You two are getting
older.
146
00:05:11,362 --> 00:05:12,852
I don't even have hair
on my legs yet.
147
00:05:12,936 --> 00:05:13,703
What's the rush?
148
00:05:13,787 --> 00:05:15,489
Let's just put this down
for a few days.
149
00:05:15,573 --> 00:05:17,711
Why? 'Cause you don't want
to hear him complain?
150
00:05:17,882 --> 00:05:18,988
Bingo.
151
00:05:25,063 --> 00:05:26,162
Hey, Dale.
152
00:05:26,246 --> 00:05:27,305
Hey, Jake.
153
00:05:27,389 --> 00:05:29,818
- Good to see you.
- Hey, thanks for coming out.
154
00:05:29,902 --> 00:05:32,027
My pleasure.
Could I get a beer?
155
00:05:32,783 --> 00:05:34,823
You arrest anybody fun lately?
156
00:05:34,907 --> 00:05:36,072
A party clown.
157
00:05:36,156 --> 00:05:38,636
But what he was doing
was not fun.
158
00:05:38,991 --> 00:05:40,183
Do I want to know?
159
00:05:40,437 --> 00:05:41,813
Not if you want
to sleep tonight.
160
00:05:41,897 --> 00:05:42,987
Huh.
161
00:05:43,132 --> 00:05:44,180
What's up with you?
162
00:05:44,264 --> 00:05:45,508
Still dating that Connie?
163
00:05:45,592 --> 00:05:47,003
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
164
00:05:47,087 --> 00:05:49,226
Actually, that's what
I wanted to talk to you about.
165
00:05:49,329 --> 00:05:51,861
Oh-oh.
I can check into things,
166
00:05:51,945 --> 00:05:54,961
but if you think she's lying,
she probably is.
167
00:05:55,045 --> 00:05:56,616
No, no,
that's not it.
168
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:59,113
Oh. Well,
still good life advice.
169
00:05:59,413 --> 00:06:01,164
Well, what do you know
170
00:06:01,248 --> 00:06:03,865
about these backroom
slot machine places?
171
00:06:04,233 --> 00:06:07,071
Why? You thinking of
putting one in your store?
172
00:06:07,155 --> 00:06:08,164
No. Uh-uh.
173
00:06:08,248 --> 00:06:10,681
No, actually,
I'm asking for Connie,
174
00:06:10,765 --> 00:06:12,077
'cause
he's kind of interested.
175
00:06:12,161 --> 00:06:14,378
Hmm.
Those places are harmless.
176
00:06:14,462 --> 00:06:15,591
We look the other way.
177
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:17,024
Well,
that's good to know.
178
00:06:17,699 --> 00:06:20,344
So what other laws
are okay to break?
179
00:06:20,685 --> 00:06:23,172
Not hiding drugs
in your keister.
180
00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:24,876
What was that clown
thinking?
181
00:06:25,764 --> 00:06:28,077
When they found it,
did confetti shoot out?
182
00:06:31,098 --> 00:06:33,435
Sheldon, come on,
I need my own space.
183
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,084
But we've always shared
a room.
184
00:06:35,168 --> 00:06:36,529
I'm a young lady now.
185
00:06:36,613 --> 00:06:37,923
You seem
the same to me.
186
00:06:38,007 --> 00:06:39,662
I have
a training bra.
187
00:06:39,746 --> 00:06:42,040
When you complete your training,
get back to me.
188
00:06:42,473 --> 00:06:44,461
You know you want
privacy, too.
189
00:06:45,629 --> 00:06:46,639
I suppose
it would be nice
190
00:06:46,723 --> 00:06:48,951
to have all my trains
and science equipment in here.
191
00:06:49,035 --> 00:06:50,719
Great.
It's settled.
192
00:06:51,825 --> 00:06:53,811
It would be like
my Fortress of Solitude.
193
00:06:53,895 --> 00:06:54,993
Good for you.
194
00:06:55,128 --> 00:06:57,204
Or my Bat Cave. Shh!
195
00:06:57,792 --> 00:06:59,444
Although I don't care
for caves.
196
00:06:59,528 --> 00:07:00,648
Or bats.
197
00:07:00,732 --> 00:07:02,127
I suppose
Fortress of Solitude...
198
00:07:02,211 --> 00:07:03,844
I'm gonna choke you
with my bra.
199
00:07:03,953 --> 00:07:05,043
Good night.
200
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:16,250
Want some help?
201
00:07:16,632 --> 00:07:17,878
You gonna charge me
money?
202
00:07:17,962 --> 00:07:19,211
Never mind.
203
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:37,373
Any chance this could wait
till halftime?
204
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,055
I'll be done
in a second.
205
00:07:48,523 --> 00:07:49,788
Touchdown!
206
00:07:52,811 --> 00:07:54,530
- What are you doing?
- Moving my stuff.
207
00:07:54,614 --> 00:07:56,555
But we haven't discussed
who gets what yet.
208
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,446
I get my stuff.
You get your stuff. Done.
209
00:07:59,778 --> 00:08:01,084
There's community property.
210
00:08:01,168 --> 00:08:03,053
We've lived together
for over ten years.
211
00:08:03,137 --> 00:08:05,177
In some states,
we'd be considered married.
212
00:08:05,309 --> 00:08:06,598
- Gross.
- I don't make the rules.
213
00:08:06,682 --> 00:08:07,891
I just know them all.
214
00:08:08,627 --> 00:08:10,139
What do I have to do
to get this over with?
215
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:12,459
We just need to agree
upon who gets which items.
216
00:08:12,543 --> 00:08:13,506
Fine.
217
00:08:13,590 --> 00:08:16,891
As my farewell gift to you,
let's do your dumb thing.
218
00:08:17,035 --> 00:08:18,866
See, when you're mean and nice
at the same time,
219
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:19,834
it's confusing.
220
00:08:19,918 --> 00:08:21,047
Too bad, doofus.
221
00:08:21,131 --> 00:08:22,657
Better, thank you.
222
00:08:24,486 --> 00:08:26,762
Okay, thanks.
I'll see you in a bit.
223
00:08:26,846 --> 00:08:30,025
Chet's gonna swing by
and finalize the deal.
224
00:08:30,109 --> 00:08:31,480
Wait, he's coming over here?
225
00:08:31,564 --> 00:08:32,715
Yeah. Why?
226
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,613
Well, this is
a very shady transaction.
227
00:08:35,697 --> 00:08:38,379
I mean, it should be
taking place under a bridge
228
00:08:38,463 --> 00:08:40,449
or in a parking lot
somewhere.
229
00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:42,972
I'm handing him
a cashier's check.
230
00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:44,668
He's giving me
the keys.
231
00:08:44,752 --> 00:08:46,316
He's gonna know
where you live.
232
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,035
I'm in the phone book.
I'm not hard to find.
233
00:08:49,119 --> 00:08:50,402
Well, what if
he grabs the check
234
00:08:50,486 --> 00:08:52,436
and just skedaddles
out of here?
235
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:53,526
He's our age.
236
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:55,871
He isn't skedaddling
anywhere.
237
00:08:55,955 --> 00:08:57,467
Ah, whatever you say.
238
00:08:57,766 --> 00:08:59,869
Are you disappointed
this isn't more like
239
00:08:59,953 --> 00:09:01,269
some old cop show?
240
00:09:01,353 --> 00:09:03,058
I loved
Rockford Files.
241
00:09:03,142 --> 00:09:05,402
Well, I tell you what,
when he gets here,
242
00:09:05,486 --> 00:09:06,686
you're my muscle.
243
00:09:07,252 --> 00:09:10,230
If anything goes sideways,
you jump in.
244
00:09:10,314 --> 00:09:12,443
See,
now you're talking.
245
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:15,186
I'll stand behind you
and I'll crack my knuckles.
246
00:09:15,361 --> 00:09:16,715
With your arthritis?
247
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:18,865
It's only bad
when it rains.
248
00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:23,396
Next, one Timex brand
alarm clock.
249
00:09:24,002 --> 00:09:25,080
It's yours.
250
00:09:25,164 --> 00:09:27,701
Are you sure?
It has a stylish faux-wood finish.
251
00:09:27,939 --> 00:09:29,783
- Fine, I'll take it.
- Aw.
252
00:09:30,041 --> 00:09:31,943
- So you want it?
- Yes.
253
00:09:32,119 --> 00:09:34,006
- It's yours.
- Thank you.
254
00:09:35,859 --> 00:09:39,592
Next, one useful yet educational
map of the world trash can.
255
00:09:39,777 --> 00:09:41,089
I know
what you're doing.
256
00:09:41,431 --> 00:09:43,058
Yes, I'm being thorough
about these things
257
00:09:43,142 --> 00:09:44,504
so we don't fight about them
down the line.
258
00:09:44,588 --> 00:09:45,988
What you're doing is
dragging this out
259
00:09:46,072 --> 00:09:47,644
because you don't
want me to leave.
260
00:09:47,728 --> 00:09:49,426
- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.
261
00:09:49,510 --> 00:09:51,754
Do you know the phrase
"pish posh"?
262
00:09:51,838 --> 00:09:53,668
No,
and I don't want to.
263
00:09:53,752 --> 00:09:55,082
It's British,
and it's used
264
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:56,918
when someone's opinions
are absurd.
265
00:09:57,002 --> 00:09:58,913
And you're forcing me
to use it.
266
00:09:59,119 --> 00:10:00,514
Pish posh!
267
00:10:01,504 --> 00:10:02,613
Or, more authentically,
268
00:10:02,697 --> 00:10:03,676
pish posh!
269
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,949
I'm done.
270
00:10:05,088 --> 00:10:07,269
I know what's mine,
and I'm taking it.
271
00:10:07,353 --> 00:10:08,819
One day she said the same thing
272
00:10:08,903 --> 00:10:10,476
to her first husband.
273
00:10:10,635 --> 00:10:13,240
I like to think I prepared her
for that moment.
274
00:10:14,652 --> 00:10:17,660
So I'm thinking dark red,
like a speakeasy.
275
00:10:17,744 --> 00:10:20,089
And maybe a little bar
in the corner.
276
00:10:20,173 --> 00:10:21,637
Well, you're gonna need
a liquor license.
277
00:10:21,721 --> 00:10:24,488
Oh, right.
'Cause I don't want to break the law
278
00:10:24,572 --> 00:10:27,319
in my illegal
gambling room.
279
00:10:27,408 --> 00:10:30,855
Over here is my bedroom area,
for sleeping and whatnot.
280
00:10:30,939 --> 00:10:31,987
That's my gym.
281
00:10:32,071 --> 00:10:34,604
And last but not least,
kitchen and bathroom.
282
00:10:34,688 --> 00:10:37,761
Georgie, do not use
that sink as a bathroom.
283
00:10:37,845 --> 00:10:39,910
Relax.
Just number one.
284
00:10:42,744 --> 00:10:43,855
There you go.
285
00:10:43,939 --> 00:10:45,824
Okay, these posters go
on that wall.
286
00:10:45,908 --> 00:10:47,287
That poster goes
over the bed.
287
00:10:47,766 --> 00:10:49,228
I'm not your moving man.
288
00:10:49,658 --> 00:10:51,517
You're right,
I'm growing up.
289
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:54,428
Guess I can't be
Daddy's little girl forever.
290
00:10:56,416 --> 00:10:57,808
Which one goes
over the bed?
291
00:10:57,892 --> 00:10:59,046
Um, New Kids.
292
00:10:59,135 --> 00:11:01,832
First thing I'm gonna do is
get better chairs.
293
00:11:01,916 --> 00:11:03,048
If people are comfy,
294
00:11:03,132 --> 00:11:05,137
they'll stay longer
and spend more.
295
00:11:05,221 --> 00:11:07,274
Well, what if it's
someone's lucky chair?
296
00:11:07,358 --> 00:11:09,933
They're gambling in the back
of a Laundromat.
297
00:11:10,171 --> 00:11:12,407
Does that sound
lucky to you?
298
00:11:12,515 --> 00:11:14,595
I'm thinking I'll put the flag
over that window
299
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,822
for, you know, privacy.
300
00:11:15,906 --> 00:11:18,252
If you want, I could
sew some curtains,
301
00:11:18,336 --> 00:11:19,509
make it look homey.
302
00:11:19,593 --> 00:11:22,058
Nice. Girls will
eat that up.
303
00:11:22,166 --> 00:11:23,475
Flag is fine.
304
00:11:37,288 --> 00:11:40,123
- Well, you been busy.
- Yes.
305
00:11:40,695 --> 00:11:43,205
- You get this in here all by yourself?
- Yes.
306
00:11:43,289 --> 00:11:44,243
How?
307
00:11:44,327 --> 00:11:45,465
Science.
308
00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:47,212
Well, it looks good.
309
00:11:47,296 --> 00:11:49,579
I know. Now trains will be
the last thing I see
310
00:11:49,663 --> 00:11:50,587
before I go to sleep,
and
311
00:11:50,671 --> 00:11:52,189
the first thing I see
when I wake up.
312
00:11:52,273 --> 00:11:53,275
Great.
313
00:11:53,359 --> 00:11:54,814
If I stir in
the middle of the night,
314
00:11:54,898 --> 00:11:56,329
you know
what I'll see?
315
00:11:56,413 --> 00:11:58,469
- Trains?
- Trains.
316
00:12:00,968 --> 00:12:04,381
Well...
as long as you're happy.
317
00:12:04,533 --> 00:12:05,638
Oh, I'm happy.
318
00:12:12,749 --> 00:12:13,936
Hey.
319
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:16,072
You might want to
check in on Sheldon.
320
00:12:16,156 --> 00:12:17,389
Is he okay?
321
00:12:17,572 --> 00:12:19,308
Well, he was smiling.
322
00:12:19,392 --> 00:12:21,248
Smiling how?
323
00:12:23,223 --> 00:12:24,561
Oh, boy.
324
00:12:29,221 --> 00:12:31,035
Hey.
Dinner's ready.
325
00:12:31,119 --> 00:12:33,225
I'll eat later.
I have to finish this.
326
00:12:35,377 --> 00:12:38,897
I made spaghetti with
hot dogs cut up in it.
327
00:12:39,041 --> 00:12:41,254
I even made sure
that every piece is
328
00:12:41,338 --> 00:12:43,230
the exact same size.
329
00:12:43,314 --> 00:12:44,957
Some things are more important
than the width
330
00:12:45,041 --> 00:12:46,584
of a hot dog slice.
331
00:12:47,009 --> 00:12:48,834
And I wish
I'd known that sooner.
332
00:12:49,408 --> 00:12:51,504
So,
you okay?
333
00:12:51,588 --> 00:12:53,229
Why wouldn't I be okay?
334
00:12:53,313 --> 00:12:56,394
Well, there's a lot
of change going on.
335
00:12:56,478 --> 00:12:58,147
I know that's not
your favorite.
336
00:12:58,462 --> 00:13:00,191
Where is that
railroad crossing?
337
00:13:00,275 --> 00:13:01,706
Would you like
to eat in here?
338
00:13:01,790 --> 00:13:02,840
I'll make you a plate.
339
00:13:02,924 --> 00:13:04,035
I have to find that sign.
340
00:13:04,119 --> 00:13:05,826
It should be in this box.
Where is it?
341
00:13:11,416 --> 00:13:13,225
I can't find
my railroad crossing sign.
342
00:13:13,309 --> 00:13:14,965
Hey, how about knocking?
343
00:13:15,049 --> 00:13:16,837
Sorry, I've never had to knock
on that door before.
344
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:18,189
Well, now you do.
345
00:13:18,385 --> 00:13:19,996
I need
the crossing sign
346
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,560
for my train set.
Have you seen it?
347
00:13:21,939 --> 00:13:24,225
No, and I've got company
coming soon.
348
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:26,238
Perfect. An extra set of
eyes will be helpful.
349
00:13:26,322 --> 00:13:28,027
It's a girl, and you need
to get out of here.
350
00:13:28,111 --> 00:13:30,066
I'm not leaving
until I find it.
351
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:31,894
Is this really
about some dumb sign,
352
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:34,443
or is about you being scared
to have a room to yourself?
353
00:13:34,939 --> 00:13:36,612
That sign has been
there for as long as
354
00:13:36,696 --> 00:13:38,056
I've had that railroad set.
355
00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:40,894
It may seem insignificant
to you, but I need it.
356
00:13:40,978 --> 00:13:42,950
Everyone only cares
about themselves.
357
00:13:43,034 --> 00:13:44,518
You're happy because
you got the garage,
358
00:13:44,602 --> 00:13:46,042
Missy's happy because
she has her own room,
359
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,459
but no one cares about
my problems.
360
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,131
I'll help you look.
361
00:13:50,215 --> 00:13:51,701
Just forget it.
362
00:13:54,350 --> 00:13:55,550
As I struggled,
363
00:13:55,634 --> 00:13:57,378
my meemaw
began to realize
364
00:13:57,462 --> 00:13:59,238
the problem with running
a gambling den
365
00:13:59,322 --> 00:14:01,011
in the back
of a Laundromat was
366
00:14:01,095 --> 00:14:02,883
it's still connected
to a Laundromat.
367
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:05,472
I put five pairs
of undies in here,
368
00:14:05,556 --> 00:14:06,714
and now there are four.
369
00:14:06,798 --> 00:14:08,587
Your machine ate my undies.
370
00:14:08,671 --> 00:14:10,910
There's a lost and found box
right over there in the corner.
371
00:14:10,994 --> 00:14:11,848
Just take all you want.
372
00:14:11,932 --> 00:14:14,441
I don't want
a stranger's undies.
373
00:14:14,525 --> 00:14:17,057
Then let's find
your precious undies.
374
00:14:17,141 --> 00:14:20,059
Look how many rhinestones
fell off in the dryer.
375
00:14:21,718 --> 00:14:24,205
It says right here
"do not tumble dry."
376
00:14:24,293 --> 00:14:26,388
No label's gonna tell me
what to do.
377
00:14:26,486 --> 00:14:29,198
I am not in the mood
for Texas right now.
378
00:14:29,282 --> 00:14:30,574
What do you want from me?
379
00:14:30,658 --> 00:14:32,826
Well, what size is yours?
380
00:14:33,607 --> 00:14:34,872
No!
381
00:14:48,955 --> 00:14:51,209
Finally the fun begins.
382
00:14:55,417 --> 00:14:56,638
What's going on?
383
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:00,160
Are you Connie Tucker?
384
00:15:00,984 --> 00:15:02,511
Well, this sucks.
385
00:15:13,583 --> 00:15:15,119
Next stop, Medford.
386
00:15:15,293 --> 00:15:17,656
That won't be necessary.
Keep going.
387
00:15:17,740 --> 00:15:19,853
But, sir, your family's
waiting to board.
388
00:15:19,937 --> 00:15:21,587
I'm aware. Drive on.
389
00:15:21,958 --> 00:15:23,007
But, sir...
390
00:15:23,091 --> 00:15:24,921
I don't need them.
I'm fine on my own.
391
00:15:25,005 --> 00:15:27,033
Do not stop this train.
392
00:15:34,319 --> 00:15:36,672
- Turn it off.
- No.
393
00:15:36,756 --> 00:15:39,240
I've been listening to it
for an hour; turn it off.
394
00:15:39,324 --> 00:15:41,525
It's my room,
I can do what I want.
395
00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:43,766
Oh, really? Let's see
how you like it.
396
00:15:43,850 --> 00:15:46,247
♪ All for love
397
00:15:46,331 --> 00:15:48,118
♪ I love it when
we're together ♪
398
00:15:48,202 --> 00:15:51,081
♪ Girl, I need you forever...
399
00:15:53,872 --> 00:15:55,241
What the hell's going on?!
400
00:15:55,325 --> 00:15:57,085
Missy's trying to annoy me.
401
00:15:57,169 --> 00:15:59,350
'Cause he won't turn
his stupid train off.
402
00:15:59,434 --> 00:16:01,958
You two are unbelievable.
Everything off.
403
00:16:02,042 --> 00:16:03,830
- But he started it.
- Now!
404
00:16:03,914 --> 00:16:07,163
♪ Knight in shining armor,
I will be your... ♪
405
00:16:07,247 --> 00:16:10,837
I thought y'all looked
the other way.
406
00:16:10,921 --> 00:16:13,515
We do, but I'm running
for sheriff,
407
00:16:13,599 --> 00:16:15,694
and this will make
my campaign pop.
408
00:16:15,778 --> 00:16:17,829
But you and Dale
are buddies.
409
00:16:18,497 --> 00:16:20,322
That's why
I'm not arresting you.
410
00:16:20,950 --> 00:16:23,153
Hey, get one with me
in it.
411
00:16:28,990 --> 00:16:30,160
So you gonna sell the place?
412
00:16:30,244 --> 00:16:31,334
No.
413
00:16:32,264 --> 00:16:34,920
Instead of crime boss,
you're gonna be
414
00:16:35,004 --> 00:16:36,166
a laundry boss.
415
00:16:36,250 --> 00:16:37,820
Well, I guess that's
just as cool.
416
00:16:37,904 --> 00:16:39,912
I'm gonna
open my game room.
417
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,577
How?
418
00:16:41,661 --> 00:16:42,931
I don't know.
419
00:16:43,466 --> 00:16:44,740
Move to a new location?
420
00:16:44,824 --> 00:16:46,189
I don't know!
421
00:16:46,724 --> 00:16:47,772
What about the Laundromat?
422
00:16:47,856 --> 00:16:50,267
Keep asking questions,
see what happens.
423
00:16:51,161 --> 00:16:53,369
- Last one.
- What?
424
00:16:54,145 --> 00:16:56,095
How'd you get
so pretty?
425
00:16:57,943 --> 00:16:59,322
I hate you.
426
00:17:00,732 --> 00:17:02,556
I like you.
427
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,906
There were plenty of reasons
428
00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:11,259
to be happy my sister
moved out.
429
00:17:11,544 --> 00:17:14,947
She snored,
she teased me.
430
00:17:15,477 --> 00:17:17,790
She left her dirty clothes
everywhere.
431
00:17:21,169 --> 00:17:23,525
Clearly, I was better off
without her.
432
00:17:32,058 --> 00:17:33,543
Can I sleep on your floor?
433
00:17:34,265 --> 00:17:35,673
Come on.
434
00:17:42,435 --> 00:17:44,155
I eventually
made my peace
435
00:17:44,239 --> 00:17:45,999
with having a room
to myself.
436
00:17:46,083 --> 00:17:48,054
And I was never
truly alone,
437
00:17:48,138 --> 00:17:49,905
thanks to
my science posse:
438
00:17:49,989 --> 00:17:53,165
Stephen, Albert,
Richard and Arthur.
439
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:55,543
But for those times
when I did need
440
00:17:55,627 --> 00:17:57,106
to communicate
with Missy,
441
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:58,460
we had a system.
442
00:18:04,797 --> 00:18:06,713
- What?
- Just testing the
443
00:18:06,797 --> 00:18:08,748
- system.
- You tested it yesterday.
444
00:18:08,832 --> 00:18:11,798
Just because it worked yesterday
doesn't mean it's working today.
445
00:18:12,071 --> 00:18:14,161
It's working.
Good night.
446
00:18:14,261 --> 00:18:15,942
Good night.
Sleep tight.
447
00:18:23,157 --> 00:18:23,970
What?
448
00:18:24,054 --> 00:18:25,846
Did you know when people say
"sleep tight,"
449
00:18:25,930 --> 00:18:27,581
they're referring to
when beds were made of ropes,
450
00:18:27,665 --> 00:18:29,291
and the tighter the rope,
the more comfortable
451
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:31,467
- the bed was to sleep on?
- Cool.
452
00:18:31,551 --> 00:18:32,677
Bye.
453
00:18:33,293 --> 00:18:35,255
My sister wasn't always a fan
454
00:18:35,339 --> 00:18:38,612
of my informative tidbits,
so I didn't tell her
455
00:18:38,696 --> 00:18:41,057
that the entire phrase,
"Good night, sleep tight,
456
00:18:41,141 --> 00:18:43,236
don't let the bedbugs bite"
is actually
457
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,143
from the 1896 book
What They Say in New England:
458
00:18:46,227 --> 00:18:49,200
A Book of Signs, Sayings,
and Superstitions.
459
00:18:49,813 --> 00:18:50,967
Until I told her.
