Young Sheldon (2017) s06e13 Episode Script

Previously on Young Sheldon
You got a roommate?
No, it's a single.
I have a chaperone.
Why do you need a chaperone?
Maybe they think I'm, like,
some kind of troublemaker.
As the owner of the face
you punched, they're right.
Do you play D&D?
No. I actually just sit in my dorm room
and study because I have no friends.
- That's a bummer.
- Yeah.
I think I'm gonna go.
Bye.
You should go after her.
Why? She's a bummer. You just said so.
Many cultures throughout the world
relied on percussion to send messages
across long distances.
For example, the West African dundun
was used to imitate human speech
while I used my fist,
the wall of my dorm,
and Morse code to send a message.
That's just the letter
"H." What does that mean?
Yeah?
I'm here to talk to you about your music
and your abysmal Morse code skills.
What?
Four dots is just the letter "H."
Was your message "Huh"?
What?
Paige?
Sheldon?
You know him?
Yeah, no, we go way back.
What are you doing here?
Would you believe me if I
told you I was working on
a femtosecond laser in
the engineering department?
- Yes.
- Then that.
You know she's not old
enough to drink beer.
I'm not old enough to drink beer.
Yeah, one second.
Come here.
Did I convince you
that drinking is wrong?
Good for me.
Just leave me alone.
But what are you doing here?
I'm trying to have fun,
- and I don't want them to know how old I am.
- Why?
Because I want them
to think that I'm cool.
But you're smart.
What's cooler than that?
Just go away.
Hey, we're fixing to play
some beer-pong. You in?
You should know, she is not
Not had dinner. I have
not had dinner yet, so
we are going to go get some food.
We are?
- Do you have cash?
- Of course.
I always have an emergency 20,
plus four quarters for the telephone.
21 bucks? Okay, you're buying.
We're going the wrong way.
Okay, well, I'm drunk. You lead.
Here, take a look at this.
Does this look like tuna to you?
What am I watching?
It's called Dinosaurs.
It's like The Flintstones,
only with dinosaurs. Come on.
Well, that's dumb.
Well, they talk, he's
got a job. It's fun.
Wasn't The Flintstones
just The Honeymooners?
Huh, I never even thought about that.
Well, see, you just
kind of ruined it for me.
Good.
Hey.
Please tell me you
brought some movies home.
- Tootsie.
- Ooh, thank you.
Really? We're supposed to believe
Dustin Hoffman is a woman?
But we believe talking dinosaurs?
Okay, I'll leave you to it.
Little late to start a movie.
It's 8:00.
We're saying the same thing.
So, you want to go home?
Well, I don't know. I
stayed here last night.
So?
So, two nights in a row.
At what point are we living together?
Fine. Go home.
Oh, I'm okay with staying.
You're the independent one.
If you want to stay, stay.
If you want to go, go.
Fine. I'll stay if you're gonna beg.
And this isn't what I wanted.
Are you still inebriated, or can we have
an intelligent conversation?
Both.
You do realize that
alcohol kills brain cells.
Ah, but it also makes life tolerable.
What do you mean?
Well, talking to you
is usually annoying.
So you're what's called
a mean drunk. Noted.
I'm messing with you.
It's just, sometimes life sucks,
and it's easier not to deal with it.
Could you be more specific?
Um well, I have no friends,
I don't fit in anywhere,
and I dropped out of college
but I'm too young to get a job,
so killing brain cells makes it easier.
Huh.
Go ahead, smart guy, fix me.
Mm.
Well, give me a minute.
Sweet Tootsie roll ♪
Well, how do they not
see that's Dustin Hoffman?
I buy it.
So if I put on a wig and lipstick,
you'd think I was a chick?
Only one way to find out.
Nice try.
You do have some pretty
nice legs, though.
Well, if you want, we
could pause the movie,
and I'll let you touch 'em.
Lucky me.
So I'm assuming you haven't
taken the DARE pledge.
The what?
DARE. It's an acronym.
It stands for Drug Abuse
Resistance Education.
It's not too late. You can take it now.
I promise not to do
drugs, to avoid violence,
to be responsible, and to
make responsible choices.
Now you say it.
No.
I dare you.
Clever, right?
Because I still have all my brain cells.
Sheldon, just eat your pizza.
Hey. You guys going to a party?
Uh, Gamma Kappa house.
Cool.
Mm, you know, Officer
McDaniel was in charge
of our DARE program.
One time, he even brought in
his drug-sniffing dog Alfie.
Which I didn't care for,
but it was nice to see
a dog gainfully employed
and off the streets.
Really? You're gonna
leave your socks on?
My feet get cold.
- Take 'em off.
- What do you care?
It feels like a lack of commitment.
Aw, fine.
When was the last time
you cut your toenails?
I don't know.
Seriously, you look like something
that could swoop down
and pick up a squirrel.
Look who's here. Come on in.
Thanks.
Everything okay?
Mind if I hang out here with y'all?
Come on, mama.
Need a break from Connie?
I'm just trying to give
her and Dale some privacy.
- Gross.
- Oh.
What?
Oh, nasty.
Wait, sex, right?
Yeah.
Missy's at a sleepover
if you want to use her room.
I might take you up on that.
You'll be safe here.
They never do anything.
What are we doing here?
It's a party, Sheldon.
But we weren't invited.
I didn't bring a gift.
Then go home.
Wait, this is dangerous.
There I stood, the classic hero
outside the dragon's cave.
Should I risk life and
limb to save the maiden?
My every instinct said no.
But I drank a lot of root beer
and really had to go pee-pee.
Let's go! ♪
Hell does exist.
Excuse me. Where's the nearest restroom?
Hey, look, Pee-wee
Herman's at our party!
Pee-wee! Pee-wee! Pee-wee!
Pee-wee! Pee-wee!
The hell continues.
Pee-wee! Pee-wee!
Oh, thank goodness.
Come on!
Hey, there's a line.
Oh, boy. New hell.
What?!
- What?!
- Charley horse. Charley horse.
- What-what do I do?
- I don't know.
Here, rub it, rub it, rub it.
That's kind of how this
whole thing got started.
- That's not funny.
- Mm-hmm.
You'll laugh later.
Rub harder. Harder.
I'm rubbing as hard as I can.
Well, use your elbow.
All right.
I don't need my toothbrush.
You like that?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
This night of depravity had reduced me
to urinating on a tree
like a forest animal.
How much worse could it get?
Hey, Pee-wee's back!
Pee-wee! Pee-wee! Pee-wee!
Pee-wee!
Excuse me.
I'm looking for my friend.
Blonde girl, about a meter and a half.
Suck the poison out ♪
Excuse me. I'm looking for
- Missy?
- Sheldon?
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
Do Mom and Dad know you're here?
Do Mom and Dad know you're here?
Okay, stop. You go first.
Heather's sister goes to school here.
She invited us. Now you.
I'm looking after Paige.
Where is she?
Well, I didn't say I
was doing a great job.
Where's your toothbrush?
I don't want to talk about it.
Who the hell calls at this hour?
Hello.
Oh, hi.
- Everything okay?
- Who is it?
- Heather's mom.
- Oh. Is everything okay?
You just heard me ask. Wh-What's up?
No, Heather's not here.
They're at your house.
- Huh.
- What?
Heather told her mom
she was staying here.
Classic.
Paige is drunk?
And high on what
Officer McDaniel's called
Mary Jane, reefer and ganja.
- Is she okay?
- No.
She said her life is terrible.
- What?
- Her life is terrible.
What?
Her life is terrible.
How's your sex cramp, old man?
Athletes get cramps all the time.
It comes from dehydration, overexertion.
I'll give you the dehydration,
but I didn't see any
overexertion, though.
Why, Connie?
'Cause it's fun.
Well, just give me a
minute, I'll be ready.
Why don't we just call it a night
and get some sleep?
That's fine by me, but just to be clear,
- you're calling it, not me.
- Yep.
- I'm good to go.
- I'm sure you are.
Yep.
Damn tootin'.
I don't know if it's any
help, but when I was her age
and pulled this, it was
just to go to a party.
Oh, great.
So she's at a party, who knows where.
You know what?
- I'm gonna go find her.
- How?
I don't know. I'm just
I'm gonna drive around
- till I hear some carousing.
- I'll go with you.
Will you both just stop for a minute?
There's nothing to do but wait.
Fine.
Nope. Georgie, let's go.
Let's check out that creek in the woods
where they found the headless body.
Will you shut up.
Now what do we do?
We can't just leave.
Paige is still in there.
Maybe we should call Mom.
I do have four quarters
for that exact reason.
Paige?
Wait!
What are you doing?
Well, this is Bradley, and
we're going to another party.
Another party? It's 9:30.
Bradley, do you know how old she is?
She said she was 18.
Lower.
Sixteen?
Lower.
Okay, I got to go.
Thanks a lot.
Come on.
We're running again?
We just ran.
I'll tell you what.
My daughter's never
gonna put me through this.
Oh, really? How you figure?
I'm gonna run a tight ship.
Set some rules, some boundaries.
If she breaks them,
then she faces the
Oh, what do you call it? Repercussions.
Why you smiling?
I just can't wait till you're a dad.
Thank you.
"Repercussions."
It's a word. Look it up.
Hurry!
This is as fast as I
can go in sensible shoes.
- You okay?
- No.
- Oh, dear.
- What?
I'm going to have the
mother of all blisters.
- I'm worried about you.
- Thank you.
Well, don't be.
- I'm having fun.
- You're drunk
and you were about to get in
the car with some stranger.
- So? He was cute.
- What's wrong with you?
You're smarter than Sheldon.
Why don't you act like it?
- Um
- I am.
If that was true, then how come
my pizza's still in my stomach
and yours is in the fountain?
What good is being smart
if you're all alone?
Let's go to Sheldon's so
I can get you cleaned up.
Thanks.
Just so you know, you're not alone.
You've got me.
I thought we were trying
to make her feel better.
I'll tell you another idea I
have for keeping my kid in line.
- Oh, can't wait.
- I seen this show where they put
these electric trackers
on these dolphins.
And with satellites, they can
tell exactly where they are.
Dolphins?
Go on.
I'm gonna stick one of
them things in my kid
so I always know where she is.
So you're gonna keep
track of your daughter
like she's an animal.
Damn straight.
Actually a really good idea.
Missy's a good kid. I'm sure she's okay.
I was a good kid.
Didn't stop me from
getting into trouble.
Me, too.
One time, I was at this party and
Actually, never mind.
The important thing is we survived.
Yes, we did.
You just want your children
to have an easier time of it.
Easier.
My baby's gonna have a broke
single mom and a teenage dad.
Mm-hmm.
Let me get you some more tea.
Okay.
- You know what else is nice?
- Hmm?
I get to learn from all
your parenting mistakes.
I'm starting to think
letting you live this
long was one of 'em.
Like that. I'd never say
something so awful to my kid.
Thanks, big guy.
You awake?
Mm-hmm.
I've been thinking.
We don't have to spend
every night together.
Wow.
You're preaching to
the choir there, Connie.
I've been lying awake here for an hour,
wishing I were back home in my own bed.
Really?
Everything's the way I like it there.
Got a TV in the bedroom
and leave the seat up on the toilet.
And thermostat's not
set to storing meat.
I did turn the toilet paper around
so it comes over the
top like you like it.
Like the world likes it.
Don't start on this again.
Hee-hee.
So, we got a plan?
We got a plan.
Mm.
So I'll spend tomorrow
night at my place.
Yep.
Oh, thank God.
Where you going?
Think I might have to crank up the AC.
'Cause I said "thank God"?
No fooling you.
Okay, she's asleep.
I put a trash can by the
bed in case she gets sick.
Where am I supposed to sleep?
On the floor.
Why can't she sleep on the floor?
She doesn't even know where she is.
I don't have time for this.
I have to find Heather
before I lose my ride home.
- Fine.
- But first,
we have to get our story straight
about where I was tonight.
There's only one story,
and it's straight:
you were here.
No, I wasn't.
I was at Heather's,
and you didn't see me.
- Got it?
- First I have to sleep on the floor
and now I have to lie for you?
How 'bout this?
Work with me, and I will
officially owe you one.
One what?
I don't know. One anything.
"Anything" is awfully vague.
- What say we draw up a contract or
- Sheldon, you went
to a frat party; now there's
a drunk girl in your bed.
That's the coolest college
story you'll ever get to tell.
So I can tell Mom.
No. Someday.
When?
Someday when we're old
and we can laugh about it.
I got to go.
30 years later,
still not laughing.
What are you doing out here?
It's the middle of the night.
I can't sleep not knowing where she is.
Yeah.
So we're on the same page,
when she does show up,
I'm gonna kill her.
You're gonna have to beat me to it.
Not saying I love her the most,
but if anything happened to Missy
She is your little girl.
Not so little anymore.
Hmm.
And I hate it.
Well, pretty soon, you're
gonna have a granddaughter.
Start all over again.
You know, I had an idea.
I'm gonna put a tracker on
her, like they do with dolphins.
- You're making that up.
- No, it's true.
Yeah, wherever she goes
Timbuktu, doesn't matter
We're there.
I'm home!
Hey.
Hey to you.
How was Heather's?
Uh, fun.
Pizza, movies
The usual.
You look tired.
I didn't sleep too well.
Oh. Sorry.
Well, I'm gonna go to my room.
What happened to killing her?
I'll get to it.
Just so relieved she's okay.
Okay, I'm good. Missy!
Wait for me!
