Young Sheldon

Previously on Young Sheldon...

What is happening to our family?

Mom, getting kicked out of the church.

Georgie having a baby out of wedlock.

We really are white trash.

But the church is still your family.

I'd just hate to see you walk away from the Lord.

Feels like he's walking away from me.

You looking for a new church?

Not yet.

'Cause I can see you going Catholic.

You got a "get thee to a nunnery" vibe.

Oh. Mom. Really?

Passion's Harvest?

The main character's name is Passion.

She's inherited her daddy's farm,

and there's a stud in the stable.

Oh, that's terrible.

Read it, then tell me how terrible it is.

I'm not reading this trash.

So you're literally judging a book by its cover?

All right.

Fine. I'll give it a look.

How come you've dog-eared all these pages?

You'll see.

* Nobody else is stronger than I am *

* Yesterday I moved a mountain *

* I bet I could be your hero *

* I am a mighty little man *

* I am a mighty little man. *

Ethically, can science ever go too far?

Just because we can do something,

does that mean we should do something?

Yes.

I haven't finished.

I'm sorry, go on. Ethically,

should science have any limitations?

No.

Interesting.

What about human cloning?

More of me? Yes, please.

Well, what about more of everyone else?

No, thank you.

What about, uh, dinosaurs?

Herbivores, yes. Carnivores, no.

Well, what about the herbivores who can squash you like a bug?

Good point. No dinosaurs.

So, cloning is unethical?

Right.

But what if we were to clone Albert Einstein?

That would be swell.

At some point, I'm going to need a sidekick.

So, cloning is ethical?

Right, because Albert Einstein, unlike the dinosaur,

harmed no one.

I think the victims of the atomic bomb,

which his discoveries helped create, might disagree.

So, what's the right answer?

That's why we're here, to find that out.

Why don't you just tell us?

Why don't you? I asked you first.

You're it, no backsies.

This is such trash.

* You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree *

* You can't judge honey by looking at the bee... *

Oh, Passion, not the stable.

That's where the horses do their business.

* You can't judge a book by looking at the cover *

All night long? Who wants that?

Who's in there?

Uh, me.

I'll just be a minute.

I really need to go!

It's occupied!

* I look like a farmer *

* But I'm a lover... *

I could write a better book than this.

Mom!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I was at the grocery store and I picked some things up for you.

Thanks, but I can buy my own groceries.

I know, but you're eating for two.

I thought I should help out.

Three kinds of pickles?

Everybody knows pregnant ladies like those.

Okay, I'm throwing up enough as it is.

Why is it so dark in there?

No reason.

What's with the candles? Are you on a date?

You think I'd dress like this on a date?

I think you look good.

Well, I don't, and if I was on a date,

it'd be none of your business.

Then why are you sitting in the dark?

Okay. It's not a big deal.

I was a little short on the power bill this month.

How come?

Well, waiting tables and morning sickness,

not a great combination.

Definitely got reflected in my tips.

Don't worry.

I'll pay to get your power turned back on.

I'm not a charity case. I can figure this out on my own.

But you can't even watch TV.

What kind of life is that? It's fine.

I can hear the neighbors fight. That's almost as good as TV.

Hmm. Well, I'll leave you with this.

There's some ice cream in there.

You might want to make that a priority.

Okay. Good night.

I got you the kind with three different flavors

'cause I didn't know what you liked.

Bye. It's chocolate, vanilla and pink.

Chapter one.

When Marie stepped into the bar, she knew she looked good.

But not in a vulgar way,

more for what she didn't show than what she did.

* *

Well, hello. Hi.

* Woman * Dusty.

* Take me in your arms... * That's not a name.

That's a poorly kept house.

What's your mother call you?

Dustin.

I like that.

And you are?

Marie. Marie.

What are you drinking, Marie?

A dirty martini.

Really? How dirty?

Very.

Hmm.

* And let the loving start. *

Sheldon? Dr. Sturgis.

I don't think I can do the assignment.

Why not?

Just pick either side of any ethical argument

and present it.

But how do I know which argument to present?

Any one you want.

And how do I know which side to take?

Any side you want.

But I want to take the right side.

Maybe there is no right side.

This is torture, and that can't be ethical.

There you go! You picked a subject.

And a side.

Oh. Good. Torture is unethical.

That's clearly the correct position.

I agree.

But what if there's a bomb

hidden underneath the city

and someone says that the only way to find out its location

is through torture?

Answer that.

Let's see.

Batman plays by Gotham City rules

and would use torture, but Superman's got

those Midwest values.

I hate ethics!

Haven't seen you here before.

Well, I'm just passing through.

Tonight, I'm here.

Tomorrow, who knows.

Hmm.

Guess we'll have to make the most of tonight, then.

I guess so.

What do you say...

we get out of here?

What do you have in mind?

I don't know.

I was thinking maybe we take a walk.

You can tell me more about your hopes and dreams.

What's going on in here...

and all the way down here.

You really want that?

To know who you really are?

There's nothing I want more.

Oh, my.

Hi.

Hey. This is a surprise.

Sorry to just drop in.

No. No, it's okay.

Let me just...

Sorry.

The cleaning lady didn't come today.

- Your mother? - Good one.

So, what's going on?

Um...

So, you know how I said I had everything under control?

Yeah. Things have changed.

I wasn't just short on the power bill.

I was also short on the rent,

and, uh, now I'm short on a place to live.

Oh, okay, well, you're welcome to stay here.

Mi garage, su garage.

It'd just be for a little while. Stay as long as you need.

You got stuff in your car? Should I go get it?

Yeah, about that, um...
