YOU WANT TO TELL

YOU WANT TO TELL IT CAME A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND SINCE THERE'S NO WAY HE'S GOING I DIDN'T SEE THE POINT IN HIM KNOWING ABOUT IT. AND WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THIS THIS SAYS TO THE "PARENTS" OF SHELDON LAST I CHECKED, THAT YOU ARE MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF NOTHING. THIS COULD BE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM. I SHOULD AT LEAST BE TOLD ABOUT IT. I'M HOME. WOULD YOU CARE TO EXPLAIN THIS LETTER? WELL? WHAT WERE YOU DOING GOING THROUGH MY NIGHT STAND? YOU ANSWER BY QUESTION FIRST. I AM YOUR MOTHER, AND I DON'T NEED TO ANSWER ANY NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION. DAD. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? I NEED TO HOW'D YOU EVEN FIND ME? IT'S NOT LIKE YOU COME HOME SMELLING LIKE COFFEE. WHAT DO YOU WANT, SHELDON? I WANT TO KNOW WHY NO ONE ABOUT THIS RECRUITMENT LETTER FROM CALTECH. LET ME SEE THAT. OKAY, NOW OKAY, NOW YOU KNOW. YOU THINK YOU GET TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS ALL BY YOURSELF? IN THIS CASE, WELL, YES. WELL, YOU DON'T. HE'S NOT JUST YOUR HE'S MY SON, TOO. HE DIDN'T HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE YOUR SON WHEN HE HAD CHICKENPOX OR EVERY MORNING WHEN I HAVE TO MAKE HIS LUNCH! WELL, HE FELT LIKE MY SON WHEN I TOOK HIM TO CALTECH, WHERE HE CLEARLY IMPRESSED A LOT OF PEOPLE. SO YOU SO YOU JUST WANT TO SHIP OUR BABY BOY OFF TO CALIFORNIA TO LIVE BY HIMSELF? I WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN DECISIONS ABOUT HIS FUTURE. IF THAT MEANS CALIFORNIA, MAYBE HE HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. YOU CAN GO AS FAR AWAY AS YOU WANT. (SIGHS) WHY ARE YOU SHELDON? I'VE PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION DETAILING THE REASONS WHY I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO TO COLLEGE, AND I'D LIKE YOU TO WATCH IT. I CAN DO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PLEAD MY CASE. AND I'D AND I'D LIKE TO THANK MY CAMERAMAN AND DRIVER DAD. WHAT, I'M NOT EVEN LIKE, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR? NO. SIT BACK, ENJOY. I'M SHELDON COOPER AND THIS IS WHY SHELDON COOPER SHOULD GO TO COLLEGE AND THIS IS WHY SHELDON COOPER SHOULD GO TO COLLEGE I REALIZE ATTENDING COLLEGE IN ANOTHER STATE OR COUNTRY IS UNREALISTIC AT THIS TIME, WHICH IS WHY I'M PROPOSING THAT I LIVE AT HOME BUT ENROLL FULL-TIME TO CONTINUE MY STUDIES WITH DR. STURGIS AT EAST TEXAS TECH. BUT DON'T JUST TAKE IT FROM ME... HE'S READY. IN THE FALL, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING LEFT TO TEACH SHELDON. TEACHING SHELDON IS THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO. A STUDENT LIKE SHELDON COMES ONCE IN A LIFETIME. I'M PRETTY SURE HE'S ALREADY SMARTER THAN ME. AND I DON'T SAY THAT BECAUSE HE CAN BE A PAIN. THIS SCHOOL IS NOT GONNA BE THE SAME WITHOUT HIM. I SAY THAT BECAUSE HE'S SO INTELLIGENT, BUT I KNOW HE'S GONNA DO GREAT THINGS. I HAD TO STUDY EVERY NIGHT JUST TO KEEP UP. AND I'M HONORED TO HAVE BEEN A SMALL PART OF IT. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN. HI, MARY. I KNOW THIS MUST BE A HARD DECISION FOR YOU. THAT IN ALL MY YEARS IN ACADEMIA, I'VE NEVER SEEN A MIND LIKE SHELDON'S. HE'S TRULY EXTRAORDINARY. AND IF YOU LET HIM COME HERE, I PROMISE WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM. READY FOR COLLEGE, READY TO CHANGE THE WELL? I GUESS I GUESS OUR BABY'S GOING TO COLLEGE. WELL? WHY DON'T YOU LET ME AND YOUR ALL TALK?
