11. A Race of Superhumans and a Letter to Alf (第2季)【完整台词】

1 Previously on Young Sheldon Why was Veronica Duncan hugging you? I'm tutoring her in trigonometry.

Just between us, she's a little slow.

That's not what I heard.

There's nobody at my house.

- You want to come over? - Yes.

- What's that? - Some stupid haunted house my mother's doing for the church.

ADULT SHELDON: Mr.

Lundy's scene about lust made a deep impact on my brother's date.

She asked to be saved by Jesus.

[CRYING]: I don't want to live like this anymore.

ADULT SHELDON: And as it turns out, she was.

Dear Lord Jesus, set me free.

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER TV] ADULT SHELDON: In Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, we learned how humans taught the apes to become civilized.

Which I think should start with potty training, but I'm not a screenwriter.

Can you help me with my math homework? No.

Please.

It's really hard.

"It" isn't the problem.

Sheldon.

Fine, what are you working on? There's a number, then there's a line, then there's another number under it.

Fractions? Yes, fractions.

ADULT SHELDON: At that moment, it occurred to me if I could teach mathematics to someone as dull-witted as my sister, I could create a race of superhumans that would do my bidding.

And who wouldn't want that? Please, Sheldon.

You know what, Missy? I'd be happy to help you.

Thank you.

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 Try thinking of it this way: imagine a pie.

The number on the bottom of the fraction is how many pieces the pie has been sliced into.

What kind of pie is it? Doesn't matter.

But it would help me picture it if I knew the kind of pie.

Fine, it's banana cream.

I don't like banana cream.

Okay, what kind of pie would you like it to be? What about those little apple pies from McDonalds? - Sure.

- I burned my mouth on one of those.

Didn't stop me.

I still ate it.

[DOORBELL RINGS, DOOR OPENS] Veronica.

Hi.

Hey, Georgie.

You-you changed your hair.

I did.

It's shorter.

It is.

I like it.

Thank-thanks.

You here to see me? I-I'm here for your mom's Bible study.

Oh, sure, of course.

I'm glad you could join us.

Come in, won't you? [CHUCKLES] You're part of the group, too? Faith, the Bible, God, I'm nuts for that stuff.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY] So one-fourth of the 12 pieces of pie is? Three? Yes.

And one-third of the 12 pieces is? Four? Yes.

Now how much is one-third of the pie plus one-fourth of the pie? Well, three plus four is seven, but there's 12 pieces, so seven-twelve-iths.

It's twelfths.

And yes.

I did it.

ADULT SHELDON: Actually, I did it.

In less than ten minutes, I taught fractions to a monkey.

Welcome, Veronica.

We're so glad to have you.

What are you doing? What's it look like? I'm here for Bible study.

Did you just take a shower? No.

[SNIFFS] You did, too.

So I want to be clean for Jesus.

Get off my back.

Interesting.

Georgie, if you want to be a good Christian, maybe you should stop lying through your teeth.

Just be happy I brushed them, okay? - Hmm - MISSY: Okay.

All done.

Thanks.

While we're here, would you like me to introduce you to algebra? Al who? Oh, boy.

It's not a person, it's an ancient Arabic method of finding the value of variables.

Oh.

Nah.

ADULT SHELDON: Clearly, I needed a more sophisticated technique to motivate my simian sister.

Are you sure? If you learn a little algebra, I'll give you a banana.

All right, now we're reading from Matthew 4.

Georgie, why don't you get us started on verse 17? Me? Yes, you.

Oh.

Okay.

Um Verse 17 [QUIETLY]: Verse 17 Give me a minute.

Here.

Bless you.

Okay, here we go.

"From that time, "Jesus began to preach and say 'Repent, c-change your inner self, your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance: seek God's purpose for your life.

" Powerful stuff.

Can I get an amen? ALL: Amen.

Amen.

- Need any help there, Sheldon? - I'm looking for some books on education theory.

- What for? - I'm trying to develop a technique to teach someone who falls into the conventional category of "stupid.

" Oh.

Well, now, there's a wide range of stupid.

Can you narrow it down? She wrote a fan letter to Alf.

Got it.

So you're looking to make a pretty radical change.

Well, ideally, I'd like to wipe my sister's brain clean and start over, but my mom wouldn't like that.

Yeah.

Moms are no fun.

Hey, Veronica.

- Georgie.

- So, listen, I was doing my prayers last night and, uh, you won't believe it, but I think God spoke to me.

Really? What did he say? Well, I couldn't understand all of it, 'cause it was in an ancient language, but the part I did understand is he wants us to spend more time together.
