1. A fossil is formed
Copy !req
2. when an organism,
preserved in sediment,
Copy !req
3. undergoes physical compression
Copy !req
4. over millions of years.
Copy !req
5. Less than one
ten-thousandth percent
Copy !req
6. of living organisms
will become fossils.
Copy !req
7. Isn't it amazing
Copy !req
8. that something so fragile
can defy those odds,
Copy !req
9. only to have this
happen to it?
Copy !req
10. I don't think
you did that right.
Copy !req
11. All right, everyone.
Copy !req
12. We'll pick it up here tomorrow.
If we're lucky,
Copy !req
13. we may find a fossil as old
as lunch lady Phyllis.
Copy !req
14. You people don't know
what's funny.
Copy !req
15. Cooper!
Copy !req
16. Will you put these away for me?
Copy !req
17. Sure.
Copy !req
18. You better watch yourself.
Copy !req
19. I will, I—I really will.
Copy !req
20. 'Cause you know what's
gonna happen if you don't.
Copy !req
21. Who was that?
Copy !req
22. No one.
Copy !req
23. Why did he push you?
Copy !req
24. None of your business.
Copy !req
25. But that was
a clear violation
Copy !req
26. of the student
code of conduct.
Copy !req
27. We need to tell on him.
Copy !req
28. We're not telling on anyone.
Stay out of it.
Copy !req
29. But the student code of conduct...
Copy !req
30. Drop it.
Copy !req
31. So I did drop it...
Copy !req
32. for six whole minutes.
Copy !req
33. Excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
34. When you're done urinating,
I'd like to ask you
Copy !req
35. some questions about
social dynamics, intimidation,
Copy !req
36. threats, et cetera.
Copy !req
37. Finish up, no hurry.
Copy !req
38. What is your problem?
Copy !req
39. Oh, I don't have
a problem.
Copy !req
40. You should probably
wash your hands.
Copy !req
41. I just witnessed
an altercation
Copy !req
42. between you and Georgie Cooper.
Copy !req
43. Altercation?
Copy !req
44. A confrontation, a tussle.
Anyway,
Copy !req
45. I'd just like to gather
more information
Copy !req
46. for sociological purposes.
Copy !req
47. Oh, I heard about you.
You're that smart kid.
Copy !req
48. I'd like to be humble in this moment,
but yes, that's me.
Copy !req
49. Sheldon Cooper, at your service.
Copy !req
50. So Georgie's your brother?
Copy !req
51. Correct.
Copy !req
52. And you're trying
to protect him?
Copy !req
53. Incorrect. I'm just curious
what he did to incur your wrath.
Copy !req
54. Also, kudos on the hand washing.
Copy !req
55. Your brother's a punk.
Copy !req
56. I'm not familiar
with that terminology.
Copy !req
57. He tried to hit on
my girlfriend.
Copy !req
58. Interesting. So he openly
pursued your mate,
Copy !req
59. and to re-assert dominance,
Copy !req
60. you threatened him
with physical violence.
Copy !req
61. Hell yeah, I did.
Copy !req
62. I understand that.
Copy !req
63. I often intimidate people
with my intelligence.
Copy !req
64. Well, one of us scared him.
Copy !req
65. All right.
Copy !req
66. Next. Missy Cooper.
Copy !req
67. Just a heads-up,
this is my good side.
Copy !req
68. Okay...
Copy !req
69. Do your parents know
you're wearing that makeup?
Copy !req
70. Oh, yeah, my mom knows.
Copy !req
71. You sure?
Because typically it's not allowed.
Copy !req
72. If you don't believe me,
you can ask her.
Copy !req
73. Okay, we're gonna
give her a call.
Copy !req
74. Really?
Copy !req
75. Good news, I just spoke
to Tommy Clarkson.
Copy !req
76. What? Are you crazy?
Copy !req
77. Nope, Mom had me tested.
Copy !req
78. And Tommy's actually nicer
than you think.
Copy !req
79. I told you to stay out of it.
Copy !req
80. True, but what you
didn't tell me
Copy !req
81. was that you were overly chummy
with his girlfriend,
Copy !req
82. which is why he wants
to kick your bottom.
Copy !req
83. I'm about to kick your bottom.
Copy !req
84. I don't think so.
Copy !req
85. H—Hey, Tommy.
Copy !req
86. How you doing?
Copy !req
87. You got a problem with him,
you got a problem with me.
Copy !req
88. And just to make
his logic clear,
Copy !req
89. you do have a problem with me.
Copy !req
90. Don't listen to my brother,
Copy !req
91. I don't have
a problem with anybody.
Copy !req
92. You need to apologize.
Copy !req
93. I—I'm very sorry.
Copy !req
94. To him.
Copy !req
95. I'm very sorry, Sheldon.
Copy !req
96. Later, kid.
Copy !req
97. See? He's nice.
Copy !req
98. What were you even thinking?
Copy !req
99. I was thinking I look hot.
Copy !req
100. You know you're not allowed
to wear makeup.
Copy !req
101. That's why I didn't tell you.
Copy !req
102. And who gave it to you?
Heather B.? Heather M.?
Copy !req
103. Meemaw.
Copy !req
104. So your grandmother was okay
with you looking like this
Copy !req
105. in your school pictures?
Copy !req
106. If you don't believe me,
ask her.
Copy !req
107. Oh, I'm going to.
Copy !req
108. Really?
Copy !req
109. These are the plaintiffs,
Copy !req
110. Valerie and Anthony Sines.
Copy !req
111. Valerie claims she was
sitting on the front steps
Copy !req
112. of her condo
with her cat Scampi,
Copy !req
113. and that's when his dog
went after Scampi, injuring her.
Copy !req
114. - What are you watching?
- Go away.
Copy !req
115. Are you angry with me?
Copy !req
116. I don't want to see
your face right now.
Copy !req
117. Very well, but I'd like
to watch Professor Proton.
Copy !req
118. Did you hear me? Go away.
Copy !req
119. Well, did you hear me?
Copy !req
120. I'd like to watch Professor Proton.
Copy !req
121. Too bad.
Copy !req
122. Interesting.
Copy !req
123. I wonder how my new friend
Tommy Clarkson
Copy !req
124. would feel about this.
Copy !req
125. Well, he's not here, is he?
Copy !req
126. No, he's not.
Copy !req
127. I guess I'll just
have to call him.
Copy !req
128. You're kidding.
Copy !req
129. the case of a taste of Scampi
Copy !req
130. after these messages.
Copy !req
131. Are you going to put on
Professor Proton?
Copy !req
132. No.
Copy !req
133. Hmm.
Copy !req
134. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
135. Thank you.
Copy !req
136. I didn't hear a
"you're welcome."
Copy !req
137. Shut up!
Copy !req
138. We'll work on that.
Copy !req
139. It's time for science!
Copy !req
140. Hello.
Copy !req
141. Well, don't you
look like Madonna?
Copy !req
142. Thank you.
Copy !req
143. I was actually trying
to look like you.
Copy !req
144. Thank you.
Copy !req
145. Why would you give her makeup
without talking to me first?
Copy !req
146. I didn't give her any makeup.
Copy !req
147. Well, then one of you is lying.
Copy !req
148. She is.
Copy !req
149. Time to come clean, little lady.
Copy !req
150. I ain't taking the hit
on this one.
Copy !req
151. I took the makeup
from Meemaw's bag.
Copy !req
152. Oh, Missy,
you are in a world of trouble.
Copy !req
153. Calm down,
it's not that big a deal.
Copy !req
154. It is so a big deal!
Copy !req
155. She stole from you,
and then she lied about it.
Copy !req
156. I know, but come on,
she's only ten.
Copy !req
157. She's gonna do way stupider stuff
when she's older.
Copy !req
158. Guaranteed.
Copy !req
159. I don't care.
Copy !req
160. She is my daughter
and you will be punished.
Copy !req
161. Sorry, kid.
Copy !req
162. I wish I was your daughter.
Copy !req
163. Is that so?
Copy !req
164. Well, guess what?
Copy !req
165. You're sleeping here tonight
Copy !req
166. because I don't feel like
being around either one of you.
Copy !req
167. Great!
Copy !req
168. Yeah, great.
Copy !req
169. Georgie, be a lamb
and get me a Yoo-hoo.
Copy !req
170. Get your own.
Copy !req
171. Hmm. Are you sure
you want to speak to me
Copy !req
172. in that tone of voice?
Copy !req
173. Sheldon, I'm getting
real tired of this.
Copy !req
174. That's too bad.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
Copy !req
175. Still waiting on that Yoo-hoo.
Copy !req
176. You think you're so tough now,
Copy !req
177. - I swear, one day I'm...
- Hey.
Copy !req
178. What's going on?
Copy !req
179. Sheldon's being a jerk.
Copy !req
180. That true?
Copy !req
181. All I did was ask for a Yoo-hoo.
Copy !req
182. He's leaving out
the part where he...
Copy !req
183. Forget it.
Copy !req
184. Great. Done.
Copy !req
185. Georgie, at the risk
of repeating myself...
Copy !req
186. And one from the back,
so it's cold.
Copy !req
187. So when exactly
did you swipe my makeup?
Copy !req
188. While you were
at bowling league.
Copy !req
189. You don't have a key
to this house.
Copy !req
190. How'd you get in?
Copy !req
191. Can't tell you that.
Copy !req
192. I might need to do it again.
Copy !req
193. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
194. And for future reference,
go lighter on the blush,
Copy !req
195. or you'll end up looking
like Raggedy Ann.
Copy !req
196. She got Raggedy Andy
looking like that.
Copy !req
197. - He's her brother.
- Oh.
Copy !req
198. I've been playing
with those dolls all wrong.
Copy !req
199. All right, that'll do it.
Copy !req
200. How old was Mom when
you let her wear makeup?
Copy !req
201. I don't know.
Copy !req
202. I didn't really
have rules like that.
Copy !req
203. See? How come you're so cool
and she's such a dud?
Copy !req
204. Well, I wouldn't call her a dud.
Copy !req
205. What would you call her?
Copy !req
206. Point is,
she wasn't always like that.
Copy !req
207. What was she like?
Copy !req
208. When she was a teenager,
she was just wild.
Copy !req
209. - Really?
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
210. She used to wait
until I went to sleep
Copy !req
211. and then she would sneak out
Copy !req
212. and get into trouble
with her friends.
Copy !req
213. - My mom?
- Your mom.
Copy !req
214. And then she would
climb up the tree
Copy !req
215. on the side of the house
and sneak back in.
Copy !req
216. Amazing.
Copy !req
217. Is that how you're getting in?
Copy !req
218. I will never tell you that.
Copy !req
219. Everything okay?
Copy !req
220. I'm getting tired of being
the bad guy around here.
Copy !req
221. You're not the bad guy.
Copy !req
222. Kids need boundaries.
Copy !req
223. That is easy for you to say.
I am the only one doing it,
Copy !req
224. and then everyone
resents me for it.
Copy !req
225. Hey, you're not the only one.
Copy !req
226. Just today, Georgie and Sheldon
were fighting,
Copy !req
227. and I totally took care of it.
Copy !req
228. Really? What was going on?
Copy !req
229. They... you know, boy stuff.
Copy !req
230. I...
Copy !req
231. Don't worry. I got your back.
Copy !req
232. Thank you. That means a lot.
Copy !req
233. Teamwork, babe.
Copy !req
234. Look right...
Copy !req
235. here.
Copy !req
236. That's my mom?
Copy !req
237. Yep, the little queen
of darkness.
Copy !req
238. Is she smoking a cigarette?
Copy !req
239. Yep. Probably stole it from me.
Copy !req
240. When did she stop being cool?
Copy !req
241. Well, first of all,
smoking is not cool.
Copy !req
242. - You do it.
- Yeah, well, next time
Copy !req
243. I'm hocking up some black goo
out of my lung,
Copy !req
244. I'll call you over
and you can see how cool it is.
Copy !req
245. - Awesome.
- It is not awesome.
Copy !req
246. And as far as your mom,
I think things started
Copy !req
247. to turn around for her
when she gave birth to you.
Copy !req
248. You mean me and Sheldon.
Copy !req
249. No, I mean you.
Copy !req
250. I mean, Sheldon was born fine,
but you were a different story.
Copy !req
251. Why?
Copy !req
252. Okay.
Copy !req
253. Well, there was a point
where the doctors didn't know
Copy !req
254. if you were gonna make it.
Copy !req
255. And your mom got so scared,
and she made a promise to God
Copy !req
256. that if you were okay,
that she would start reading
Copy !req
257. the Bible, going to church...
Copy !req
258. you know, that kind of stuff.
Copy !req
259. So I'm the reason she's a dud?
Copy !req
260. Your takeaway should be
Copy !req
261. that you are the reason she's
such a good mom, which she is.
Copy !req
262. And the next time
you hurt her feelings—
Copy !req
263. which you will—
Copy !req
264. you might remember
how much you mean to her.
Copy !req
265. Now I feel bad.
Copy !req
266. Good.
Copy !req
267. News of my friendship
with Tommy
Copy !req
268. had apparently spread.
Copy !req
269. So much so,
the student body was finally
Copy !req
270. treating me
with the respect I deserved,
Copy !req
271. even when Tommy wasn't around.
Copy !req
272. This must be
how Carl Sagan felt,
Copy !req
273. walking through
the halls of PBS.
Copy !req
274. Like Superman in a phone booth,
Copy !req
275. I was no stranger to undressing
in my gym locker.
Copy !req
276. But not today.
Copy !req
277. Thanks to Tommy,
I was invincible.
Copy !req
278. All right, get your butts
out to the gym.
Copy !req
279. Wind sprints in one minute.
Copy !req
280. Come on, Jason,
I'm gonna be late.
Copy !req
281. Poor baby.
Copy !req
282. Excuse me.
Copy !req
283. I'd like to ask you
some questions
Copy !req
284. about your use of intimidation
to dominate others.
Copy !req
285. Are you trying
to get your ass kicked?
Copy !req
286. No, I was just looking to open
a spirited dialogue.
Copy !req
287. And you might want to unhand me.
Copy !req
288. I'm friends with Tommy Clarkson.
Copy !req
289. Is that so?
Copy !req
290. Yes.
Copy !req
291. Hello, Tommy.
Copy !req
292. I have some unfortunate news.
Copy !req
293. What's that?
I boasted
Copy !req
294. to Jason Davies
that you're my friend,
Copy !req
295. and things took
an unexpected turn.
Copy !req
296. You're scheduled to
fight him at 3:00 p.m.
Copy !req
297. on the basketball court.
Copy !req
298. I don't want
to fight Jason Davies.
Copy !req
299. I don't think you have a choice.
He was pretty adamant.
Copy !req
300. Fine, I'll deal with it.
Copy !req
301. You do have the option
of simply not showing up.
Copy !req
302. That's not
how fights work, Sheldon.
Copy !req
303. Why? Do they take attendance?
Copy !req
304. What on Earth did you say
to Missy?
Copy !req
305. - Why? What'd she do now?
- Nothing,
Copy !req
306. she was an angel.
Copy !req
307. I dropped her off at school,
Copy !req
308. and she hugged me
in front of her friends.
Copy !req
309. - Really?
- And not just any friends.
Copy !req
310. Heather M. was there,
and that is a big deal.
Copy !req
311. I just gave her
a little life advice.
Copy !req
312. Like what?
Copy !req
313. Nothing, just grandma stuff.
Copy !req
314. There you go again,
being the good guy.
Copy !req
315. Mary, you need to know
Copy !req
316. you're doing a fantastic job
with those kids.
Copy !req
317. You really mean that?
Copy !req
318. - I really do.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
319. I can't remember the last time
someone said I was a good mom.
Copy !req
320. It's not a job that gets
a lot of compliments.
Copy !req
321. Look at this.
My mother left me a note.
Copy !req
322. "You can do better. Mom."
Copy !req
323. Not "Love, Mom,"
not "XO, Mom,"
Copy !req
324. just "Mom."
Copy !req
325. While Tam prattled on
Copy !req
326. about some family nonsense,
Copy !req
327. I couldn't help
but think about Tommy.
Copy !req
328. At 3:00 pm, he was going
to engage in a schoolyard battle
Copy !req
329. that was entirely my fault.
Copy !req
330. I had to find a way to intervene,
but how?
Copy !req
331. Ooh, a Nutter Butter.
Copy !req
332. Maybe she does love me.
Copy !req
333. Come on now,
beat him in his face,
Copy !req
334. Jason, let's do it!
Copy !req
335. Fight! Fight! Fight!
Copy !req
336. Fight! Fight! Fight!
Copy !req
337. Come on, Jason. Kick his ass.
Copy !req
338. I didn't have the physical
stature to assist
Copy !req
339. Tommy in a brawl,
but I did have something
Copy !req
340. far more lethal:
Copy !req
341. my once-in-a-generation brain.
Copy !req
342. Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Copy !req
343. Didn't think you'd show up.
Copy !req
344. Well, I did.
Copy !req
345. Let's do this.
Copy !req
346. Stop!
Copy !req
347. You're not fighting Tommy,
you're fighting me.
Copy !req
348. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
349. Unless you want to shake hands
Copy !req
350. and we all laugh about this
over a glass of milk.
Copy !req
351. I think I'd rather kick
both your asses.
Copy !req
352. I was afraid you'd say that.
Copy !req
353. Are you familiar with the story
Copy !req
354. of David and Goliath
from the Bible?
Copy !req
355. Yeah.
Copy !req
356. That's too bad.
Copy !req
357. I had a nice speech prepared.
Copy !req
358. I'll say it anyway.
Copy !req
359. You may have
the size advantage,
Copy !req
360. but like David and his sling,
Copy !req
361. I also possess an
air-based weapon.
Copy !req
362. So I'll give you
one more chance.
Copy !req
363. Are you willing to step down?
Copy !req
364. I'll tell you what:
Copy !req
365. you take the first shot,
then it's my turn.
Copy !req
366. Very well.
Copy !req
367. Three...
Copy !req
368. two...
Copy !req
369. one.
Copy !req
370. Ow! Son of a bitch!
Copy !req
371. I'm going to run.
Copy !req
372. Conventional wisdom tells us
Copy !req
373. that when one stands up
to a bully,
Copy !req
374. the bully will inevitably back down
and respect you for your courage.
Copy !req
375. My experience
suggests otherwise.
Copy !req
376. Hello? Hello?
Copy !req
377. When Jason finally caught me,
Copy !req
378. he had the good sense
not to commit assault and battery.
Copy !req
379. This did not, however,
prevent him
Copy !req
380. from imprisoning me
in his locker.
Copy !req
381. Anybody?
Copy !req
382. That was a very long night.
Copy !req
383. It doesn't smell good in here.
Copy !req
384. Very long.
Copy !req
