Transcripts
Is that any good?
I'm afraid not.
I failed to make a single friend.
That sucks. I have a tough time making friends, too.
The worst part is, it was important to my mom.
My parents pressure me about making friends all the time.
So you understand what I'm going through.
Oh, I read that book. It's excellent.
Are you into rocketry?
I started with water propulsion,
worked my way up to solid fuel,
then went back to water after I set our garage on fire.
-Nice. -I also tried to get some uranium
and build an atomic engine, but that stuff's hard to find.
Probably for the best.
Well, good luck on your quest to find a friend.
You, too.
If you haven't found one yet, I have good news.
Mom, what do you know about the drug Prozac?
Not much.
Supposed to make people happier. Why?
I was just thinking
some of my teachers might benefit from it.
Speaking of which,
you'll be happy to know I made a friend today.
Oh.
Well, that's nice.
But, as I said, this isn't for me.
It's for you.
He made a friend!
He did it!
Our little boy has got a friend.
-Who is it? -Who cares?
It's a human being. It's a warm body.
-(knocks) -SHELDON: Mom?
Yes, honey?
-Can I come in? -Of course.
Be cool.
-What's up, sweetie? -I was wondering
when I could continue my rocketry hobby.
Uh, Sheldon, we've been through this.
You can build them. You just can't launch them.
But launching them is the fun part.
Tell that to the family of squirrels
who died in the fire.
Okay. It was just something
I was hoping to do with my new friend.
Hang on.
Uh, yes.
It's fine.
Ban is lifted.
-Mary... -It's for his friend.
He's got a friend.
Besides, those could have been rats.
Their bodies were so badly burned.
I thought we were being cool, but okay.
Hey, here's an idea.
Why don't you invite your new buddy over for dinner?
-Why? -Well, honey,
um, that is what friends do.
My mother asked me to ask you
if you'd like to join us for dinner.
Why?
I was hoping you'd know.
