704. Ants on a Log and a Cheating Winker
March 7, 2024After returning from Germany, Sheldon and Mary struggle to adjust to life back home. Mary feels unnecessary since Missy has taken on more responsibilities around the house. Meanwhile, Sheldon feels crowded out at home with Georgie and Mandy living there, so he seeks refuge in his college dorm room.
Quote from Mary
Mary: Oh, Lord, I missed you.
George: Oh-ho. I missed you, too.
Mary: I was talking to the bed. [George laughs]
George: Been a while since we've been apart so long.
Mary: Oh, I know.
George: A long time for a man to be without his wife.
Mary: George, I want to, but I just spent 18 hours with you know who. I need to sleep.
George: Understood. Wouldn't take long, but understood.
Mary: I promise, if you wait, it'll be worth it. I might even have a little surprise for you.
George: Ooh, I like the sound of that. All right, I can wait. [chuckles] But if you can't wait, just give me a poke in the ribs. I'll be ready right quick.
Quote from Mandy
[After Sheldon knocks on his bedroom door, Mandy opens in it the middle of the night:]
Mandy: What?
Sheldon: The baby's crying.
Mandy: You really are a genius.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: [answers phone] Hello.
Sheldon: Meemaw, it's me.
Meemaw: Shelly. Everything okay?
Sheldon: No, everything's terrible. The baby stole my room and won't stop crying and now they're making me sleep in the garage.
Meemaw: What do you need me to do?
Sheldon: Pick me up and I can stay with you.
Meemaw: Oh, well, this is Dale's house. I have to ask him.
Dale: Ask me what?
Meemaw: [covers phone] It's Shelly. He wants to spend the night.
Dale: Oh, yeah, it'd be nice to see the little guy.
Meemaw: Dale says no. See you in the morning. [hangs up]
Quote from Dale
Mary: So, how's it going, you two living together?
Meemaw: She's leaving out, "in sin."
Mary: I didn't say it.
Dale: Well, don't we get a pass for being old?
Mary: I didn't say anything.
Meemaw: With his back being all askew, there's not much sinning going on.
Dale: Well, not none. We find ways to be creative.
Mary: I don't want to know. [scoffs]
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: Sheldon Cooper.
Evan: What?
Sheldon: I finished reading, and my name's Sheldon Cooper.
Evan: Wh... You finished it?
Sheldon: Yes.
Evan: No, you didn't. Uh... How can I program this with a reduced instruction set?
Sheldon: Use a lexicographic ordering algorithm.
Evan: [scoffs] Impressive. You should major in computer science.
Sheldon: [laughs] No, thanks, I'll stick to real science.
Quote from Sheldon
Evan: Wh... Dude, this is the future. I mean, computers are gonna change the whole world.
Sheldon: Maybe commerce, communications, media and banking, but nothing important.
Evan: [scoffs] Uh, what's so important about what you're studying?
Sheldon: String theory, where do I begin? It explains everything. It unifies the fundamental forces in an elegant way.
Evan: Yeah, but what does it do?
Sheldon: Hmm... Get out.
Quote from Coach Wilkins
Coach Wilkins: Ants on a log?
George: No.
Coach Wilkins: They're not real ants. It's raisins.
George: I know what they are, Wayne.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: [toilet flushes] Well, that was Chernobyl-adjacent.
Evan: Sorry, still getting used to Tex-Mex.
Sheldon: You don't have to be from Texas to flush.
Evan: Noted.
Quote from Sheldon
Evan: You, uh, grow up around here?
Sheldon: Medford. It's not as nice as it sounds.
Evan: Oh. Yeah, now you ask where I'm from.
Sheldon: I don't do that.
Evan: Cool. Oh, so what is the girl situation here?
Sheldon: I don't do that either.
Evan: You into guys?
Sheldon: I'm into science. Everything else is a distraction.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: Ooh, that's a big gun. How'd you do that?
Evan: I just put in the cheat code.
Sheldon: Excuse me? I do not cheat.
Evan: Wh... No, it's not cheating, you know, it's- it's like a-a secret command that gives you extra powers.
Sheldon: And it's called a what code?
Evan: Wh... No. It's part of the game, you know. They build it in.
Sheldon: So you condone cheating?
Evan: Yeah, but, you know, with a wink.
Sheldon: I don't like winking either.
Evan: What's wrong with winking?
Sheldon: At the end of the day, it leaves you with an uneven number of blinks per eye.
Quote from Sheldon
Evan: That's insane.
Sheldon: Oh, I'm insane? You're the cheating winker. Are you from California?
Evan: Oh, now you want to know where I'm from.
Sheldon: I think I know enough. Goodbye.
Evan: Thanks for cleaning up.
Sheldon: You're welcome. Also, the toilet bowl is still disinfecting, so I wouldn't use it for another 20 to 30 minutes.
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Sheldon: I'll keep the room clean if you keep the game clean.
Evan: Okay.
Adult Sheldon: We had had our first fight, but, at the end of the day, it really brought what's-his-name and I closer together.
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: It took 14 hours, 211 lives ... but I emerged victorious. [triumphant video game music plays] [taps Evan's shoulder as he sleeps] Hey, cheater guy, I won. Fair and square.
Evan: What time is it?
Sheldon: 7:42 am. We should celebrate. Do you have any Yoo-hoo?
Evan: No.
Sheldon: Wait here. I'll go get some.
Adult Sheldon: I wish I could tell you we toasted my victory, but I fell asleep in the hallway.
Quote from Mary
Mandy: Hey, where's Sheldon?
Missy: Probably out in the garage.
George: Should someone tell him breakfast is ready?
Mary: Oh, no, this is lovely.
[Missy, Mandy, Georgie and George all look at Mary]
Mary: Uh, let him sleep, jet lag and all.
Georgie: Hmm, the whole summer with him was enough, huh?
Mary: If you want me to get him, I'll go get him.
Missy: That's okay.
George: No, it's fine.
Mandy: Okay.
