Come on, Shelly. Maybe you'll end up being friends.
I don't like her,
I'm not going to like her, and Tam is my friend.
I don't need another one.
You can have more than one friend.
I'm sure Tam has other friends.
No, I'm all he's got.
And even I avoid him half the time.
Also, you don't have any friends.
Why are you so worried about me?
I have friends.
Then how come the only person who ever comes over is Meemaw?
Because...
Okay, this isn't about me.
So Paige didn't make a good first impression,
but that can change.
What's that new Star Trek show?
Next Generation?
When that first came on, you said a new Star Trek
without Dr. Spock could never be good,
but I've seen you watching it.
Well, first of all, it's Mr. Spock.
Dr. Spock writes books about babies.
My apologies.
And second of all, Paige isn't a TV show.
She's a person, and we all know how I feel about people.
(blows raspberry)
(sighs)
Okay, look.
You're right.
I don't have many friends,
so I was hoping to get to know Paige's mom.
But if it makes you uncomfortable,
then I will call her and cancel.
I'll think about it.
Thank you, baby.
ADULT SHELDON: Guilt and jealousy in the same day.
I slept hard that night.
Mmm.
Did you know that there's a type of vanilla flavoring
derived from the anal glands
of the North American beaver?
That seems like a fact you could have shared
before we started eating.
It isn't used very often.
I understand it's difficult to, uh, milk the little sacs.
Cool. Okay, new topic.
Let's talk about Sheldon.
Wonderful. What about him?
He's having kind of a hard time with the new girl in your class.
Really? Why?
He's jealous of the attention you're paying her.
Well, she's remarkable.
You see that? Less of that.
But I think he's remarkable, too.
Perfect. More of that, less of the other one.
Understood.
See, this is why we're great together.
You teach me about social etiquette,
and I teach you about beaver anuses.
(chuckles): It is magical.
Did you know "ani" is also acceptable
as the plural of "anus"?
And the magic continues.
(chuckles)
SPOCK: Must have been most difficult for you to share.
ADULT SHELDON: The thought of spending an afternoon
with Paigeseemed excruciating,
but I wanted to make my mother happy.
I was torn.
The release of emotions, Mr. Spock,
is what keeps us healthy--
emotionally healthy, that is.
ADULT SHELDON: Luckily, the wise words of Gene Roddenberry
flatly delivered by Leonard Nimoy
resolved my dilemma.
That may be, Doctor.
However, I have noted
that the healthy release of emotion
is frequently very unhealthy.
I realized if Mr. Spock could rise above his emotions
while the fate of the Enterprise hung in the balance,
certainly I could tolerate Paige for a few hours.
GEORGE JR.: I'm not watching this crap.
Why do I listen to you?
WOMAN: Tony, this is going to help you choose a major.
This test is designed to help you focus. (exhales)
TONY: I know, but what if it says all I'm good at is...
What are you doing?
Suppressing my emotions.
Oh, yeah? Suppress this.
(belches)
(blows)
(whispers): Hot dogs.
♪
ADULT SHELDON: Vulcans use a technique called Kolinahr
to suppress their emotions.
MARY: Sheldon, they're here!
Obviously, I wasn't a Vulcan.
So I did the next best thing:
took my feelings and shoved them down so far
they may have been lost forever.
Hi, Sheldon!
The release of emotions, Mr. Spock,
is what keeps us healthy.
Dr. McCoy was an idiot.
