GEORGE JR.: Hey.
I hope you're happy.
Thank you, Georgie. That's very kind.
Mom and Dad are fighting because you want
to get a stupid computer.
What are you talking about?
Mom wanted to buy it for you,
Dad said they couldn't afford it,
Meemaw offered to pay for it,
and now I'm eating pineapple spears for lunch.
I hate making my own lunch.
I'm sorry, Georgie, I didn't know.
Yeah, well, now you do.
What did you get?
A turkey sandwich Mom cut in the shape of a heart,
a fruit cup, a brownie,
and a note from Meemaw saying how much she loves me.
I haven't read it yet, but I bet it's a lot.
I don't even have a can opener.
Oh, Sugar Apple, I love you so much.
Your affection for inanimate objects frightens me.
I'm glad you're happy, Missy.
I'm even happier that I got a toy, and Sheldon got nothin'.
MARY: Well, now, we're not exactly
done shopping.
Sheldon, you still want that computer?
I thought we couldn't afford it.
Don't you worry about that.
Do you want it or not?
More than anything.
All right, then, let's go get it.
Wait. He gets a computer and I get a lousy toy?
I thought you liked it.
Not anymore.
(sighs)
Where's the water come out of?
Well, seeing as that's the dryer, nowhere.
Hmm.
So this one's the washer?
No foolin' you.
What are you doing?
Separating the whites from the colors.
Whoa, that's racist.
How did I get a rocket scientist for one son
-and a rodeo clown for the other? -Oh, man.
I'd give anything to be a rodeo clown.
They make people happy,
and they see the rodeo for free.
(sniffs) Mmm.

ADULT SHELDON: The home computer I had long coveted
was finally in my possession,
but it was also destroying my home.
Thankfully, it came pre-loaded
with a program to help solve personal problems.
FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Hello, I am Eliza.
My... parents...
are... fighting...
a lot.
I see. Can you elaborate on that?
My mother...
bought... me...
this...
computer...
but...
my dad... says... we can't...
afford it.
Do you have issues with your mother?
Mmm... (typing) No.
She... makes me...
spaghetti...
with hot dogs...
cut up in it.
Can you elaborate on that?
(sighs)
Are you...
going to help me or not?
Hello, I am Eliza.
The future might be overrated.
