1
Once I'm in college, can we push my bedtime to 8.30?
2
Let's talk bedtime when we're not on the news.
3
I'm sure it'll work out since I have all summer to recalibrate my bathroom schedule.
4
Let's not talk about that either.
5
So, what's it like being the parents of such a special child?
6
Get it away!
7
Get it away!
8
Fascinating.
9
Every day is a blessing.
10
Sheldon, tell us what you're going to miss the most about high school.
11
Nothing.
12
Really?
13
Not your teachers, your friends?
14
I only have one friend.
15
And I don't think he's gonna miss me because he already found other people to have lunch with.
16
Oh, I'm sure he'll miss you.
17
And I said I'm okay with watching Professor Proton at night,
18
but that'll never work.
19
I get it retired.
20
Everybody knows that.
21
Maybe we can turn the camera off.
22
And the other day I couldn't find my safety goggles and I freaked out at school.
23
And my dad asked, is this how I plan on acting when I get to college?
24
And I said no, but it probably is because even though I'm smart,
25
I'm just a little boy.
26
I think we have enough.
27
Cut.
28
What are you doing?
29
Nothing.
30
Why are you watching Roadhouse?
31
Why aren't you at work?
32
I asked you first and my question is way more interesting.
33
It was just on.
34
I don't even know what that is.
35
Then how'd you know his name's Dalton?
36
I don't have to explain myself to you.
37
This is a pretty dirty movie.
38
How do you know it is rated R?
39
For violence, language, and sexual content.
40
You should be ashamed of yourself.
41
Nothing to be embarrassed about.
42
It's perfectly natural.
43
Perfectly normal.
44
Dad, I know.
45
I'm telling myself.
46
How much money you need.
47
I'm not going in there.
48
You are.
49
Why can't you go?
50
It's embarrassing.
51
You just said it wasn't embarrassing.
52
Well, it is, and I lied.
53
Come on.
54
Don't be lame.
55
Let me sign it.
56
You're just going to write something mean.
57
You don't commit a crime inside your own name.
58
Learned that one the hard way.
59
Hey, Brenda.
60
Hey.
61
I just wanted to check in and see how Sheldon's doing.
62
He'll be fine.
63
He's just a little fractured.
64
Poor kid.
65
Please know we feel terrible.
66
Yeah, the accidents happen.
67
Hey, speaking of accidents, which this clearly was, Insurance covers everything, right?
68
If you're worried about me sending you a bill, don't be.
69
I wasn't worried.
70
I just wanted to bring you some food as a peace offering and promise it will never happen again.
71
Well, thanks.
72
Ooh, fried chicken.
73
Never again.
74
Sheldon, stop.
75
You can't upset me.
76
Why not?
77
Because there are things in my life that are way worse than anything that you can come up with.
78
You mean your parents splitting up, obviously.
79
I think I know how to irritate you.
80
I bet you think the divorce is all your fault,
81
and now your family is torn apart forever.
82
Did I do it?
83
Did I get under your skin?
84
I can still hear the sound of her fist hitting your face and your head bouncing off the floor.
85
That is enough.
86
It was a thwack and the gathon.
87
I said enough.
88
And they were donut holes.
89
What a great day.
90
Figured we'd order pizza.
91
Okay.
92
What do you want on it?
93
Damn.
94
Everything except onions, green peppers, mushrooms, spinach.
95
No vegetables, got it.
96
How about a little salad, too?
97
If you like wasting money.
98
Spoken like a true Texan.
99
So what's Sheldon like?
100
A pain in the ass.
101
No, he means what is Sheldon like on his pizza.
102
Oh.
103
Sheldon, what do you want on your pizza?
104
Still glad you came?
105
Actually, I am.
106
I don't want any pizza.
107
See?
108
Pain in the ass.
109
Well, we can get something else.
110
I don't want anything.
111
I'm not hungry.
112
Well, what's the matter?
113
My friends were supposed to play Dungeons and Dragons with me, but they canceled.
114
Aw, I'm sorry.
115
We can play with you.
116
Really?
117
Gail, that's nice, but I don't think you'll like it.
118
Afraid I might beat you?
119
Actually, there's no one winner.
120
It's a cooperative game where you use your imagination to explore
121
a fantasy world with the help of the Dungeon Master's pre-planned scenarios,
122
and the rolling of polyhedral dice.
123
Still sound fun?
124
Yeah.
125
Sort of.
126
Missy.
127
Right.
128
Help me with my clothes.
129
Burn them and get new ones.
130
Please, it's freshman orientation.
131
I want to make a good impression.
132
Fine.
133
Which bow tie says mature enough to be in college,
134
but whimsical enough to discuss which came first,
135
the Higgs field or the photon?
136
They both say weird kid who eats alone.
137
Come on, I know you're concerned about what you'll wear to middle school.
138
Show me again.
139
The blue one.
140
Plaid's too busy.
141
Thanks.
142
Or don't be the kid in a bow tie.
143
This is not the day to go crazy.
144
I figure you don't want me to walk in.
145
I've trained you well.
146
Do you have everything you need?
147
Lunch money?
148
Yep.
149
Locker combination?
150
Right here.
151
Why is it there?
152
Writing on my hand is so fifth grade.
153
Of course.
154
Okay.
155
Gonna go in.
156
I assume you don't want a hug.
157
Make it quick.
158
That's enough.
159
Okay.
160
Wish me luck.
161
Good luck.
162
Hey.
163
Hey, Brenda.
164
She didn't want you to walk her in?
165
No. How about Billy?
166
Well walked him in, found his homeroom,
167
explained that homeroom is different than his room at home.
168
Still not sure he gets it.
169
Tough day.
170
Yeah.
171
You want to get some coffee?
172
I was thinking vodka, but coffee will do.
173
While my meemaw wasn't able to acquire a jungle cat,
174
the idea of tormenting a child did tickle her Texan fancy.
175
Sheldon.
176
I have someone else who wants to talk to you.
177
What are you doing with that filthy thing?
178
Why do you care?
179
If nothing is real, then neither is the chicken.
180
Oh, good.
181
We're standing now.
182
That's progress.
183
Get her out of here.
184
Well, I would.
185
But apparently I can't know what here is.
186
So maybe I could just.. set her on your bed.
187
Okay, okay.
188
I'll get dressed.
189
Make it snappy.
190
This still doesn't solve my existential crisis.
191
Say what?
192
You want a holter?
193
No. Less talk.
194
More pants.
195
Try having a conversation with Billy about science.
196
Let's see.
197
Uh, what do you know about quantum mechanics?
198
My dad's a mechanic.
199
At his shop, he is a condor with a bikini lady on it.
200
Dad.
201
Instead of losing patience, act interested and then ask a follow-up question.
202
Your father's a mechanic.
203
Interesting.
204
You know what else is interesting?
205
Quantum mechanics.
206
That describes the basic particles and forces that make up reality.
207
Let's talk about that.
208
I'm gonna marry that bikini lady.
209
I'm a bikini lady.
210
I've been working on a theory about the wave-particle duality of light.
211
I have a nightlight that looks like Spider-Man,
212
but I don't turn it on.
213
Go ahead.
214
Why don't you turn it on?
215
I'm afraid of spiders.
216
Yeah, seems like a good place to stop.
217
Not what happens.
218
You go home.
219
Thank you for your hospitality.
220
I'm doing most of the work here.
221
But it was all my idea.
222
Your idea was lifting weights in some dingy garage.
223
Cowboy aerobics was hatched in this egg right here.
224
But it's my face.
225
And my money.
226
And my apologies.
227
But 20% is all you're getting.
228
Unbelievable.
229
Excuse me.
230
I've done all the choreography.
231
I designed the sets.
232
I made the costumes by hand.
233
You think you can find sequined chaps in a mall?
234
No, you cannot.
235
And they give you quite the look when you ask.
236
Come on, let's get out of here.
237
Oh, fine, go ahead.
238
And we're gonna make our own exercise video without you.
239
No, we're not.
240
No, we're not.
241
And they call me dramatic.
242
The next day, Dr. Linkletter ran his experiment.
243
I'm proud to say I never broke my word,
244
and he eventually figured out the problem.
245
Fire!
246
Fire!
247
Fire!
248
Was there too much oxygen in the reagent?
249
See?
250
You didn't need my help after all.
251
Missy, has your social experience in middle school been going well?
252
So good, it's nuts.
253
Are you a member of any clubs?
254
Well, in the cafeteria, Lee,
255
car, table, Heather, M, and the funky lunch bunch.
256
Well, I meant school sanctioned clubs.
257
The FLB is a pretty big deal.
258
I don't get why people think that the social aspect of education is so important.
259
Maybe because the education aspect is so boring?
260
But that's the whole point of school.
261
Eh, I'll stick with being popular.
262
I'd like to point out that one of us has a Nobel Prize.
263
All the other one has is a loving family and friends.
264
Which I also have.
265
Boy, did I win!
266
This is it.
267
Done.
268
Oh, hi!
269
You must be Georgie.
270
Uh, yeah.
271
My Nana says you've been taking such good care of her.
272
You're so sweet.
273
Thanks.
274
But she's the sweet one.
275
Isn't she?
276
Nana!
277
Georgie's here.
278
Ask him if he wants to stay for dinner.
279
I'm free.
280
What are we having?
281
Remember, the smart cheater gets some answers wrong.
282
I heard I might find you here.
283
Oh, hi, Mr. Given.
284
Would you like to explain why this was on the copy machine?
285
Anyone could have left that there.
286
It's your brothers, and Tam said it was you.
287
Fine.
288
But I only left it there because you came in the coffee room and I had to hide.
289
What?
290
When what?
291
This morning before school.
292
Huh.
293
What exactly did you see?
294
I don't want to talk about it.
295
Well, I don't want you talking about it.
296
Well, I don't want you talking about this.
297
I don't even know what this is.
298
I don't even know what I saw.
299
Alright then.
300
Alright.
301
Sheldon?
302
In my room.
303
I saw a truck outside.
304
What's wrong with the phone?
305
Nothing.
306
Adding a second line.
307
I'm almost done here.
308
Just gotta hop up on the roof.
309
Hold on.
310
You can't just add another phone line without asking.
311
I didn't do it.
312
The university did.
313
Why would they do that?
314
I asked them to.
315
What, are you some sort of special kid?
316
You have no idea.
317
Shouldn't you be up on the roof?
318
You can't just ask the university for things.
319
President Hagemeyer seems so happy to help.
320
My robber of that.
321
Sheldon, you are going to have to get in a car again eventually.
322
It's not looking like it.
323
This isn't over.
324
Can I help you?
325
Grocery delivery for Sheldon Cooper.
326
What is it?
327
Looks like milk, straws, and three cans of strawberry quick.
328
Oh, boy.
329
Thank you.
330
Would you tip him?
331
I'm a little light.
332
Hey.
333
Hello.
334
Playing with your train?
335
I'm punishing myself by looking at them,
336
but not allowing myself to run them.
337
You don't have to punish yourself.
338
Because you'd rather do it?
339
That's fair.
340
No. It's okay.
341
I deserve it.
342
What?
343
Actually, I want you to represent us at the audit.
344
But I messed everything up.
345
You did.
346
I also know if anyone's smart enough to get us out of this, you are.
347
Why'd you change your mind?
348
No reason.
349
What did the accountant say?
350
Nothing.
351
They said my returns were perfect, didn't they?
352
Play with your trains.
353
Should we just forget and go home?
354
Fine by me.
355
Does the backseat get a vote?
356
You put me on the spot.
357
I never said that to anyone before.
358
Me neither.
359
And it didn't go well.
360
Seemsies.
361
I'm sorry.
362
I'm not even sure what it's supposed to feel like.
363
Well, if you felt it, you'd know.
364
I know that I like you.
365
A lot.
366
More than anybody else.
367
Mm-hmm.
368
Really?
369
Yeah.
370
By the way, when Marcus is in the car,
371
you can't be this lame.
372
I must tell you that Sheldon was very excited to hear that you might be joining us.
373
Well, isn't he sweet?
374
He's a peach.
375
All right, I'm here.
376
Hello.
377
Hello.
378
Hello.
379
Hi, Sheldon.
380
So excited for you to show me you're on campus today.
381
The only reason I'm doing it is because...
382
He's excited to do it?
383
I'm excited he's doing it.
384
Are you excited?
385
Sure.
386
Everyone's excited.
387
Yay.
388
Come on, let's go.
389
You and me?
390
Together again.
391
It just feels right, doesn't it?
392
There's the cafeteria, if you like tuna salad with hair in it.
393
Over there's the quad.
394
It's a nice place to relax.
395
If you like getting hit in the head with frisbees.
396
I know what you're doing.
397
No, you don't.
398
You have nothing to worry about.
399
I don't want to come to this school.
400
I'm just looking at it to make my mom happy since close to home.
401
Well, that's wonderful news.
402
Besides, I've got offers from way better universities.
403
What do you mean?
404
What's wrong with this school?
405
It's fine.
406
It's just nowhere near as good as Harvard or Columbia.
407
It is too.
408
If you like a substandard science department hair in your tuna.
409
It does seem to be as normal as boots on a cowboy.
410
That is wild.
411
Dr. Sturges is correct.
412
If indeed we grew up in another universe,
413
our sense of normality would be formed by that universe.
414
That's enough.
415
There are no other universes.
416
The Bible tells us God created the Earth, not the Earths.
417
Ugh, why did I have to marry a preacher?
418
Because it was God's will to bless us with union.
419
I hope it's his plan that I hit the clubs tonight,
420
because that's going to happen.
421
Why am I the only normal one in this family?
422
If you're the only normal one, statistically speaking, you're abnormal.
423
Ha, freak.
424
Stop picking on him.
425
You're going to give him a complex and he'll end up in therapy.
426
You New Yorkers and your therapy.
427
The only therapy I ever got was on my backside from Pappy's belly.
428
Oh, spanking.
429
That's hot.
430
I think you should all be in therapy.
431
All the answers I need are right here.
432
Hey, I don't know what makes this family happy.
433
A puppy.
434
Animals are excellent for emotional support.
435
The only thing I need for emotional support is a warm shotgun and a cold bear.
436
This guy knows how to party We'll get you another picture I don't want another picture,
437
I want this one I told you not to go in there It's my room Hey,
438
you watch your tone What's going on?
439
Missy tore my Professor Proton picture Now Dad's yelling at me You yelled first,
440
he yelled first I'll take care of this You don't even know what happened Did she tear up his picture?
441
Well, yeah, she did.
442
Honestly, I can't leave this house for five minutes without everything falling apart.
443
I was handling it.
444
Obviously.
445
You yelled first.
446
Missy Cooper, you apologized to your brother right this second.
447
No. I am not going to tell you again.
448
Why do you always take his side?
449
I do not.
450
Yes, you do.
451
Everybody does.
452
I hate this family.
453
You are grounded young lady!
454
Fine!
455
It is fine!
456
Thanks for handling that.

Why practice speaking with this video?
Using "One Minute From Every Episode: Season 4 | Young Sheldon Compilation," English learners can enhance their speaking skills through engaging dialogue. This video presents a lively interaction among characters, showcasing various conversational contexts that are perfect for practicing shadowspeak. By mimicking real-life conversations, learners can improve their fluency, intonation, and overall speaking confidence. Engaging with content that reflects natural speech patterns and scenarios helps learners connect real English usage with everyday situations, making the learning experience relatable and effective.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
While listening to the dialogues in the compilation, pay close attention to these key structures:
- Conditional Sentences: "What are you going to miss the most?" This shows how to express future conditional outcomes, a vital skill for making predictions in conversations.
- Rhetorical Questions: "Get it away! Get it away!" This emphasizes emotions, suggesting learners should practice using questions for effect rather than strictly seeking answers.
- Conversational Informality: Phrases like "I get it," and "How do you know?" demonstrate casual speaking styles that reflect everyday communication.
- Expressions of Opinion: The character expresses feelings with "I think we have enough," providing valuable insight into how to share opinions concisely in discussions.
Utilizing a shadowing app or a similar tool, learners can repeat these phrases to master their pronunciation and intonation, reinforcing their learning.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you immerse yourself in the dialogues, be aware of challenging words and phrases that may trip you up:
- "Fascinating": This word is often pronounced with a stress on the second syllable, which can be tricky for non-native speakers.
- Contractions: Phrases like "I'd" and "I'll" can often lead to mispronunciation. It is essential to practice these to sound more native.
- Casual Vocabulary: Words used during casual banter, such as "dirty" in the context discussed, require careful pronunciation to be understood correctly in context.
By practicing with tools available on a shadowing site, English learners can refine their pronunciation based on the spoken examples in the video. This focused approach aligns well with the goal to learn English with YouTube content that is both entertaining and educational.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
