05x20 - Uncle Sheldon and a Hormonal Firecracker

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Young Sheldon...

I'm pregnant.

I heard them talking about a baby.

- Oh, my.
- You know what that means.

- Mom's pregnant.
- Exactly.

Everybody loves a wedding.

I'm having a baby. I don't
need to marry another one.

Mary, they already
made one giant mistake.

They don't have to make another.

So marrying me was a mistake.

You're honestly happy with
how your life turned out?

You have no regrets?

What do you want me to say?

I want you to admit that this marriage

hasn't exactly been a bed of roses.

Wake up. No marriage is a bed of roses.

- Well, then I guess we nailed it.
- I guess we did.

Can you take Missy to school today?

Why? It's on your way.

I have to drop the church
bulletin off at the printer.

[scoffs softly] Nobody
reads those things.

I know we're not
getting along right now,

but when we walk into that kitchen,

Missy and Sheldon do not
need to see us fighting.

Fine.

So, you'll take her?

Whatever you say, dear.

[groans]

Mom and Dad are still really upset.

With good reason. She's awfully old

to be having a baby.

Is it really dangerous?

Not with modern science,
but back in pioneer times,

we'd be burying her down by the crick.

I'm just saying they're cranky enough,

so don't be a pain in the ass.

I'm always on my best behavior.

You're the hormonal
firecracker around here.

Sheldon.

And thar she blows.

Moby d*ck.

It's a book.

Where the hell's my travel mug?

I think Georgie took it, dear.

That son of a g*n.

Missy, your father's gonna
take you to school today.

Thanks, Daddy. I hope
it's not too much trouble.

No trouble at all, my little angel.

Why'd you say they're cranky?

They're fine.

[exhales]

Okay, you can do this.

Just tell him.

[exhales]

- [sighs]
- Everything okay?

Oh! What? Yes. What are you doing there?

I came for the stapler
but stayed for the show.

Oh. Well, I was just going in

- to talk to Pastor Jeff.
- Hmm.

Then go.

- I'm going.
- Do it.

I'm doing it.

See?

Very convincing.

JEFF: Come in.

- [door closes]
- What's up?

I was hoping to get
your take on something.

Of course.

Um...

This isn't really about me,

but I recently met a young woman

who got pregnant, um...

out of wedlock.

I see.

Is the young man in the picture?

He is.

Well, as long as they tie the knot

before the bambino pops out,
the big guy looks the other way.

Right, right.

But the woman isn't so keen on...

knots or tying them.

Then I'm afraid she and that poor baby

are in for a difficult time.

I know. Um...

What about the parents
of the young couple?

Well, they certainly
didn't raise these kids

with the right values.

I only get them one day a week.

The rest of it's on Mom and Dad.

[chuckles]: Right. Right.

Um...

Oh. But, um...

what if the boy's parents

did want to do the right thing?

I don't see how it's their fault.

Well, didn't the boy
still have premarital sex

which led to pregnancy?

[exhales] Yes.

You have to ask,

where were his parents?

Mm-hmm.

These are all good questions. [chuckles]

Okay, let's take a look at
the board now, Judy, Lisa,

and see what subjects we're dealing with

in this match of Tic-Tac-Dough.

Famous Blondes,

- Trivia Dare, Explorers...
- [knock on door]

...Colors, Geology, Top Ten, Movies...

I'll be right back, Wink.

- What?
- We know what's going on at home.

And we need to talk.

I'm in the middle of
something important.

So are we.

Um, may I please come in?

- ...thousand eight hundred...
- [TV turns off]

What's up?

Why won't Mom and Dad
tell us what's going on?

Well, there might be
several reasons for that,

but right off the top
of my head, I'd say

none of your damn business.

Mom's having a baby, and
that's none of our business?

[chuckles] Is that what
you think's going on?

- Isn't it?
- No.

Then what's going on?

None of your damn business.

[TV playing indistinctly]

We need to talk.

Kind of busy.

This is important.

I was talking to Pastor Jeff

about our... little situation.

- Why would you tell him?
- He doesn't know it's Georgie.

But people are gonna
find out eventually,

and they're gonna judge all of us.

Who cares what people think?

I care. We live in this town.

- I work at the church.
- [phone rings]

[exhales] Hello?

Heads up. The twins were just here,

and they were asking
a bunch of questions.

You didn't tell them, did you?

No, but they know
there's a baby in the mix.

[chuckles]: Actually, they
thought you were having it.

Oh, Lord.

Yeah. Anyway, they're
gonna be there any minute.

Have fun.

[exhales]

What now?

- [door opens]
- SHELDON: We're home.

- MISSY: And we want answers.
- [door closes]

That.

In here.

We want to know what's going on.

And we know it has
something to do with a baby.

- And we know it's not yours.
- So whose is it?

This is a private matter,

and it does not concern you.

It's Georgie.

- You don't know that.
- It all makes sense.

You were talking with him in
the garage the other night.

And word on the street
is he's sexually active.

Ew.

So, who's preggers?

- Yes, who?
- All right.

Family meeting now.

- I'll leave you to it.
- George!

Fudge.

Okay, yes, your... [sighs]

Your brother's gonna have a baby.

- With whom?
- Her name is Mandy.

Ooh, she's the one
that's older than him.

How much older?

That's not important.

- That means a lot.
- Thank you.

- Do I really need to be here for this?
- Yes.

Double fudge.

Are they getting married?

- We don't know, but probably.
- Mary.

[scoffs] It would be better for them

and better for the baby.

And better for you
so your church friends

don't get bent out of shape.

We'll talk about this later.

Ooh, a subcommittee
just formed. Exciting.

The important thing is, is that you both

need to keep this quiet.

This is family business.

I have to keep a secret?
I'm not good at those.

It's not a secret. No one's
gonna ask you about it.

It's just a thing you
don't need to bring up.

But what if I do?

What if you don't?

But now it's all I can think about.

What if my mouth loses control?

You're good at keeping promises, right?

- Very.
- Great.

Then promise you won't tell anybody.

That's an interesting
work-around. However...

- You're not telling anyone.
- Fine.

[Mary exhales]

I'm gonna be an aunt.

That's so weird.

Not as weird as Uncle Sheldon.

[chuckles]: Yeah, well,
we're gonna be grandparents.

And Meemaw's gonna be
a great-grandmother.

That sounds so old.

Please tell her that.

MEEMAW: Good night, Wade.

It ain't good. I lost all my money.

Well, good for me.

Yeah, yeah.

[door closes]

Hey, Mandy. It's me again.

Just wanted to see how you were doing.

If there's anything
you need, I'm around.

Please call me back.

She ducking your calls?

Seems like it.

Well, you understand why she
might not want to talk to you.

Yes, I know.

I'm trying to make up for it.

This might be one of those things

you just can't make up for.

Ain't fair.

You better do some growing up fast,

'cause "fair" left the building

the second you yanked your pants down.

Thanks for making me feel worse.

Anytime.

[door closes]

What is the angular momentum
of the neutron and the proton

inside deuterium?

No one? Really?

- Sheldon?
- Yes?

What is the angular momentum
of the neutron and the proton

inside deuterium?

Oh, um, "L" equals zero.

Close. You're missing
the four percent admixture

of "L" equals two.

Sorry. I'm a little distracted.

It happens. Anyway...

Normally, I would
have gotten that right.

I have no doubt. Anyway...

There are just some
things going on at home,

and I'm not allowed to talk about it.

And we don't want to hear about it.

I can tell you no one's sick
in case you're concerned.

Anyone concerned?

Show of hands.

No? Moving on.

That's why I got the answer wrong.

Son, it's just a mistake.

Everyone makes them.

SHELDON: Like my brother Georgie
did when he got that girl pregnant.

Don't say it. Don't
say it. Don't say it.

What?

I need to use the restroom.

This is college. Just go.

- [door opens]
- You, red shirt. Lock the door.

[hums]

Knock, knock.

Oh, hi.

Just thought I'd show you

how to do it on the first try.

[chuckles softly]

You all right?

Um... Yeah.

- Just, you know, life.
- Mm.

I've heard that can be rough.

Mm.

Well, if you ever want to talk or...

grab a smoke,

I'm around.

I'm good, thanks.

[chuckles] Although, um...

A cigarette doesn't sound bad.

I was hoping someone would help me

get to the end of this pack.

- Then we're quitting.
- Absolutely.

- It's a disgusting habit.
- Filthy.

You are never gonna
believe what I just heard.

- Try me.
- [door closes]

Roy and the boosters

were wining and dining
that coach from Carthage.

I don't even care anymore.
He can have my job.

Well, if you don't care,
why can't I have it?

Fine, take it.

Are you okay?

Oh, jim-dandy.

Is this one of those times where you say

you don't want to talk about it,

and then you make me go to the bar,

and then you talk about it?

No.

All right.

I'm gonna tell you something.

Lay it on me.

This is serious.

You can't tell anyone.

Okay.

Georgie got a girl pregnant.

Wow.

Oh.

Congratulations?

On having a dope for a son? Thanks.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken,

but weren't you a similar
kind of dope with Mary?

It's different.

Georgie's, like, years
younger than this girl.

That is different.

We're gonna need a
couple sh*ts over here.

Sorry again for being
distracted earlier.

And I'm so sorry you got locked out.

I don't know how that happened.

My brother got a girl pregnant.

My mom wanted me to promise

I wouldn't tell, but I never did,

so technically, I'm
not breaking my word.

I don't care.

Thank you. But it's a secret,

so please don't tell anyone.

- Don't you have somewhere to go?
- No.

Can I tell you something in confidence?

Of course.

Um,

my son...

...got a girl pregnant.

Whoa.

Safe to assume this was a surprise?

[chuckles]: Oh, yeah.

And safe to assume it's not Sheldon?

[laughs]

Also yes.

Now my mom wants them to get married,

but it doesn't sound
like the girl's willing.

- Why are you still talking to me?
- You and I just click.

So, how are you doing with all this?

Oh.

Disappointed.

Angry, upset, scared.

So all the emotions. Got it.

And I'm worried

that if he doesn't marry this girl,

the congregation's gonna turn on me.

They might.

- [exhales]
- But that's putting man before God.

- What do you mean?
- Well, you're caring more

about what people think
than what God thinks.

I'm not caring more.

I just don't have to bump
into God at the grocery store.

I don't think he does his own shopping.

[chuckles]

Well, at this point, it doesn't matter,

because she doesn't want to get married.

- Well, I can talk to her if you want.
- Mm.

I'm pretty good with young people.

She's .

Also pretty good with people my own age.

[chuckles]

Let's say grace.

Bless us, Lord, for the
food we are about to receive,

and bless the hands
that prepared it. Amen.

ALL: Amen.

I told Dr. Linkletter about Georgie.

Why'd y'all tell Sheldon?

They didn't. I figured it out.

Great. Now everyone knows.

Not everyone.

Just us and Dr. Linkletter.

So, that's it?

- Nobody else said anything?
- Mm.

Good. 'Cause her parents

still don't know, and if this gets out,

she's gonna be more pissed than ever.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Let's just eat.

I kind of told Heather M. at school.

I told her to keep it a secret.

Did you keep it a secret?

No.

Unbelievable.

Actually, I told
someone at church today.

And I might have told Wayne.

I can't believe y'all.

I know. You'd expect it from me,
but from them, it's a shocker.

I ain't hungry.

[door closes]

So, if you haven't
told your parents yet,

you might want to,

'cause my family blabbed,
and it's out there.

I know. I know you're angry.

I'm angry, too.

Please don't hang up.

- [knock on door]
- Come in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Just wanted to say I'm really sorry.

Forget it.

You have so much to deal with right now,

and I made it worse.

People are gonna find out eventually.

Do you think you're gonna get married?

It ain't looking good.

Do you even want to?

Well, I do like her.

And I'm trying to do the right thing.

Whatever that is.

Can't believe you're gonna be a dad.

Join the club.

Is it weird?

M-More terrifying than weird.

Yeah?

I don't know what I'm doing.

What if I mess this kid up?

You won't.

You sure? I'm a high school dropout

living out in his parents' garage.

[voice breaking]: Mandy's
right to not want me around.

[crying]: No, she's not.

She'd be lucky to have you.

So will the baby.

Don't make me cry more.

Sorry.

That's the last nice thing

I'll ever say to you.

Hey, what did Wayne
say when you told him?

He loves babies, so he was all,

"It's a blessing." Blah, blah, blah.

Well, he's not wrong.

Why am I friends with
him? You should be.

- [chuckles]
- [beer bottle opens]

How'd Pastor Jeff take it?

I didn't tell him. I told Pastor Rob.

Of course.

- What's that mean?
- Nothing.

What?

Just seems like you
talk to Pastor Rob a lot.

[scoffs, chuckles]:
Well, we work together.

You talk to Wayne.

Sure. And what did Pastor Rob say?

Actually, it was helpful.

He pointed out

that I was putting people before God

and that I shouldn't worry about
what the congregation thinks.

So, exactly what I said.

All you said was, "Who cares?"

Next time, I'll stick God in
there so you pay attention.

Hey.

- [door closes]
- Where were you?

- Talking to Georgie.
- He okay?

We laughed, we cried. It was nice.
