Honey!

It's interesting, the things you think about when life is ebbing from your body.
15
For instance, linoleum.
16
What is it, really?
17
Plastic?
18
And if so, how is it different from Formica?
19
I'm calling 911.
20

How is he a count?

All I saw was my brother licking jelly off the knife and putting it back in the jar.

Sheldon!

Honey, are you okay?

Can you breathe?
31
Say something!
32
You have to.
33
Throw away that jelly! So far, so good.
34
Hello?
35
Anybody?
36
They weren't kidding.
37
Maybe I'll just have one little peek.
38
How come you're not eating your snack?
39
I prefer my snack to be a reward for homework well done.
40
You're like an old person.
41
Thank you.
42
What's your homework?
43
Non -Euclidean geometry.
44
How about you?
45
Synonyms.
46
You mean synonyms.
47
I'm pretty sure she said synonyms. Did you see that?
48
Someone's out there.
49
Oh, no, they're in the backyard.
50
What do we do?
51
Die!
52
Die!
53
Would one of you please get me a towel?
54
What are you doing?
55
I'm reading quietly, so I don't have to lie about it later.
56
Fandom.
57
The tweezers?
58
Mom's needles on their magnifying glass.
59
Absolutely not.
60
Let me at least try.
61
No. You're being a baby.
62
Nothing you can say will change my mind.
63
What if it gets infected and turns green and they have to cut it off?
64
I think it's numb.
65
Great, put your hand out.
66
Wait, how do you plan on sterilizing the needle?
67
Mom uses a lit match.
68
We're not allowed to play with matches.
69
What else would work?
70
Alcohol.
71
Stick your finger in there.
72
I'll do the needle.
73
Okay.
74
I hope I don't get drunk.
75
How long till you're sterile?
76
I don't know, but I'm getting lightheaded.
77
No matter what happens, hold still.
78
I can't do it.
79
Yes, you can.
80
No, I can't.
81
Just let me get it.
82
What if you slip and stab me in the eye?
83
I'm not going to slip.
84
Who always wins when we play? Be right back.
85
In 1989, the Milton Bradley Company had dozens of board games on the market,
86
but only one were you were the doctor.
87
Operation came complete with a red light -up nose, 13 plastic body parts for players to remove,
88
and most importantly, one pair of genuine tweezers.
89
My sister performed a medical procedure using a children's board game, while I bravely sat very still.
90
I guess you could say there were two heroes that day.
91
Hey, what you reading?
92
A magazine.
93
Oh, making a collage for school?
94
No, just reading it.
95
Look at that.
96
Maybe Sheldon isn't the only bookworm around here. Which magazine?
97
Cosmopolitan.
98
What?
99
It's a magazine for today's woman.
100
Hey, I was about to find out what turns a man on.
101
Where'd you get this?
102
Heather, I traded a fruit roll up for it.
103
Well, this is going in the garbage.
104
You sure?
105
It's got some great tips on how to spice up your marriage.
106
My marriage is fine, thank you.
107
And you are not to bring filth like this into our house again.
108
That's not fair.
109
Shana reads dirty stuff all the time and you don't say anything.
110
He does not.
111
Check out the comic book on his desk.
112
What?
113
Oh, my goodness.
114
Oh.
115
Oh, my.
116
Hold on.
117
No, no. This blue man's backside is all over the place.
118
On page 112, you get to see his front side.
119
Oh.
120
I'll be back.
121
Where are you going?
122
To give the owner of that comic book store a piece of my mind.
123
Cool.
124
And then I'm calling Heather's mom.
125
Aw.
126
What are you doing?
127
I'm going to take apart the refrigerator and figure out what's making that noise.
128
That is a really good idea.
129
Usually you're not supportive of my efforts.
130
I'm more mature now.
131
Hi, Mom.
132
What did you do?
133
Good news.
134
I found out what part was making that noise.
135
You have to put this back together.
136
Now we're going for the bad news.
137
What made you think you could fix this?
138
I'm smart.
139
And I had a book.
140
Do you still think you're smart?
141
Yes.
142
I told him not to do it.
143
He wouldn't listen.
144
$200?
145
It'll be okay.
146
We'll find the money.
147
Wait, the old fridge in the garage.
148
What's that?
149
Well, I kind of donated that fridge to the church.
150
You know, for the needy.
151
Are you kidding me?
152
I see tense moments like this more than you think.
153
I'll just give you guys some space.
154
You know how much it's going to cost to fix that fridge?
155
$200.
156
I have really good hearing.
157
Do you have any idea how hard I work for the money we get?
158
I'm sorry.
159
I don't care how long it takes.
160
You're going to pay me back every cent of this.
161
Yes, sir.
162
I'm very disappointed in you.
163
You know if you cry, I can't enjoy your pain.
164
Okay, Sheldon, this first battery of tests measures basic problem -solving abilities.
165
Is this the Kauffman test or the Wexler Intelligence Scale?
166
Are you familiar with those?
167
It's embarrassing, but I enjoy a little light reading in the bathroom.
168
Okay.
169
Are you ready?
170
Will I be timed?
171
Yes.
172
Fantastic.
173
Okay, Missy, the first thing we're going to do is test your problem -solving ability.
174
Okay.
175
You ready?
176
I just have one question.
177
What's that?
178
Do you always wear your hair up?
179
Uh, well, usually at work, yes.
180
I bet it looks cute down.
181
Thank you.
182
Okay.
183
We're all set.
184
Is that camera going to be on?
185
Yes.
186
Can you move it over to that side?
187
Why?
188
If I've learned one thing from school picture day, it's that I look better from that side.
189
Sure.
190
I'll move it.
191
Okay.
192
And bring it a little closer.
193
How's that?
194
Great.
195
Okay.
196
Whenever you're ready.
197
Wait, do I have any Oreos in my teeth?
198
No. Ready to start?
199
One last thing.
200
Did you ever think of wearing that white coat with the belt?
201
No. You should, because you have a very nice figure, and it's lost in there.
202
Hey, check this out.
203
Did you see, honey, I shrunk the kids?
204
No. You should, because there's a lot of good science stuff in it.
205
Kudos on the question which train gets to St. Louis first.
206
I have to tell you something.
207
Why don't you finish the test first?
208
Just can't wait.
209
The other doctor's got a crush on you.
210
Oh, dear Lord.
211
Oh.
212
Um.
213
I don't think so.
214
Let's get back to the test.
215
Okay.
216
Why?
217
What did you see?
218
When you're not looking, you stare at your tushy.
219
Really?
220
Imagine if you wore the belt.
221
Clever girl.
222
That would accentuate her buttocks.
223
I can't watch.
224
Switch it back to Sheldon.
225
Hot dogs.
226
Sylligisms.
227
If all squares are parallelograms and all squares are rectangles, then some parallelograms are rectangles.
228
Who is this test made for?
229
Children.
230
I'm bored.
231
Turn it back to Missy.
232
Go ahead.
233
This question about a train going to S .T.
234
Lewis makes no sense.
235
It's okay to guess.
236
Take your time, baby.
237
The meter's running.
238
See, what do you think is happening in this picture?
239
The girl monkey on the couch is telling the guy monkey a secret.
240
Must be something juicy, because he's smiling.
241
Anything else?
242
It might be dirty, because this girl monkey is sending the kid monkey out of the room.
243
He doesn't want to go.
244
He looks sad.
245
Is that all?
246
The monkeys on the couch are drinking tea, so it's a tea party.
247
Okay, very good.
248
Let's look at another picture.
249
I'm not done.
250
the monkey in the painting is wearing an old lady hat so she's probably a meemaw monkey
251
she's not at the party so she must be bowling or dead
252
missy won
253
that round it's actually not a contest church this is texas
254
everything's contest a lion sitting in a chair holding a pipe
255
good uh what do you think is on his mind how
256
should i know maybe he's wondering why he's posing for a silly picture instead of eating a gazelle anything else
257
what exactly are we doing here i thought the purpose of
258
this study was to find out how smart i am that's what we're doing
259
but there are different kinds of intelligence poppycock
260
shilton's getting upset i don't like it well i'll just change it back to missy
261
you are an insightful young lady i don't know what that means but thank you It means perceptive.
262
You see things most people miss.
263
My name is Missy.
264
Go figure.
265
Have you always been that way?
266
I guess so.
267
I think when you're on your own a lot, you get good at seeing that kind of stuff.
268
Really?
269
My dad does football with my older brother, so they're like a team.
270
And my mom and Meemaw spend all their time fussing over Sheldon, so they're like a team, too.
271
So no one's on your team?
272
Nope.
273
It's just me.
274
Lord.
275
Okay, pick a number.
276
Three.
277
One, two, three.
278
Now pick a color.
279
Pink.
280
Duh.
281
The name of your future pony is...
282
Sparkle Sunshine.
283
I would totally name it that.
284
Sheldon, do you want to have your fortune read?
285
Absolutely not.
286
And I cannot believe a person as smart as you is doing it.
287
Why?
288
It's fun.
289
He doesn't know how to have fun.
290
He's an old man.
291
I'm not an old man.
292
Oh, yeah?
293
What's your favorite color?
294
Khaki.
295
Old man.
296
I'm trying to sleep.
297
Come inside and play with us.
298
Don't invite him.
299
This is a girl's fort, not an old man fort.
300
I'm not an old man.
301
Then come inside.
302
Are you crazy?
303
It's bedtime.
304
Old man.
305
That's when the blood -thirsty goat man, part goat, part man, crept up on the sleeping children.
306
Oh, sank his sharp little teeth into their necks.
307
No. And drank their blood.
308
No. Problem?
309
Several.
310
First of all, goats are herbivores.
311
They don't eat meat, let alone drink blood.
312
Maybe the half -man part drinks blood.
313
Don't even get me started on the half -man stuff.
314
Sheldon, it's just a fun, scary story.
315
It's nonsense is what it is.
316
Old man.
317
I'm not an old man.
318
I'm ten.
319
More like a hundred and ten.
320
You know, I read that adults who had a stunted childhood often become social misfits and weirdos.
321
You didn't read that.
322
You're making it up like your goat story.
323
Psychology magazine, February issue, 1988.
324
Well, um, that doesn't make it true.
325
Guess you'll find out when you're an adult.
326
I guess I will.
327
Well, we know how this story ends.
328
I grew up to become a well -adjusted and charming fellow.
329
But at that moment in time, she had me worried.
330
Excuse me.
331
I was hoping to purchase some practical joke paraphernalia so that I may behave childishly.
332
Rack in a corner.
333
Thank you.
334
If it's funny, it's a bazinga.
335
Interesting.
336
Hello, um, Meemaw.
337
This is Sheldon.
338
If you were home, I was going to say, is Mr. Wall there?
339
And then you would say, no. And then I would say, is Mrs. Walden?
340
And then you would say, no. And then I would say, well, if there are no walls, then how does your roof stay up?
341
Um, OK.
342
Bazinga. That was pathetic.
343
It was.
344
I'm not sure I'm cut out for these antics and shenanigans.
345
I guess you're going to go up to be a weirdo.
346
I suppose I am.
347
Life is so confusing.
348
I always hoped it would be easier for me when I grew up, but now I'm not so sure it will.
349
It's going to be all right.
350
You were faking.
351
Bazinga.
352
And that's how I became the madcap prankster all my friends know and love.
353
What are you working on?
354
A list of possible boyfriends from my Cabbage Patch doll.
355
How do you think Celeste would look next to Joey Lawrence?
356
I don't know who that is.
357
He's Blossom's brother.
358
I don't know who that is.
359
It's a show.
360
She wears hats.
361
Anyway, I've been doing some research, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't need to teach you anything.
362
You already know everything.
363
Cool.
364
Your brain already contains all the math that will ever be known.
365
I heard you, and I said cool.
366
Well, wouldn't you like to explore that great treasure trove of knowledge? That depends.
367
What's a trove?
368
We'll circle back to that.
369
True or false, at times you will refer to yourself as being dumb.
370
True.
371
And do you enjoy feeling that way?
372
No. Well, let me change that.
373
I'm presenting you with an opportunity to achieve the full potential of your mind.
374
Are you going to do some experiment while we switch brains?
375
No. Because I've seen it on Gilligan's Island, and I've seen it on the Flintstones, and it never goes well.
376
Oh, Killikin.
377
According to B .F.
378
Skinner, if I can find the appropriate punishment to motivate Missy, there's no limit to what she might be able to learn.
379
But what might that punishment be?
380
Whip her with a rubber hose?
381
No, that sounds like a recipe for.. tendinitis administer small electric shocks tricky
382
if i get the voltage wrong i could spend the rest of my life in an institution for the criminally insane
383
or i inflict harm on the object she loves more than life itself
384
celeste you're about to become part of scientific history is this the nelson residence Oh, good.
385
I'm Sheldon Cooper, the Executive Assistant Secretary at the First Baptist Church of Medford.
386
I'm looking through our donation records, and I notice that you've tapered off a bit.
387
Well, yes, your children's education is expensive, but so is running a church.
388
Oh, boy.
389
I'll be sure to tell the pastor.
390
Goodbye.
391
Pattern to super view who?
392
Okay, who's next?
393
Wendy and Bill McKenzie.
394
Oh, McKenzie Chevrolet.
395
Now those are what we call deep pockets.
396
Well, you need to give what's comfortable for you.
397
And, of course, I don't need to remind you it's entirely tax -deductible.
398
And at the next pancake breakfast, you can hold your head high.
399
Thank you.
400
That's very generous.
401
Goodbye.
402
The pancake line closed it.
403
We are so going to heaven.
404
By the grace of God and his provision, we have received the most donations in church history.
405
Praise Jesus!
406
Praise Jesus! So it's all Jesus?
407
We don't get any credit?
408
We need to start our own church.
409
They don't pay taxes.
410
It's a very sound business model. About faith.
411
You know what I like about you, Sheldon?
412
You're incredibly smart, but you're also really dumb.
413
Why would you say that?
414
You think people are going to come here to hang out with you?
415
Yes.
416
To hear about science?
417
Yes.
418
On the radio?
419
Yes.
420
At 5 o 'clock in the morning?
421
Yes.
422
And you're asking me why you're dumb?
423
Well, I happen to have a little more faith in the curiosity of my fellows.
424
See, you sound smart, but you're still dumb.
425
I bet you don't even know the first thing about Sweden.
426
Well, you're wrong.
427
It's where those little meatballs come from.
428
And that Jeff on the Muppets.
429
That's two things.
430
Oh, and it's in Canada.
431
That's three.
432
What happened?
433
She didn't make the team?
434
She didn't even get to try out.
435
Why not?
436
Coach doesn't want a girl on his team.
437
And you were okay with that?
438
No, I tried.
439
There was no change in his mind.
440
Where are you going?
441
To be mad at somebody new.

456

If we're having a party, we invite them, even if they're not the most popular.
458
Are you kidding me?
459
Shh.
460
Some of the Romans thought he was a little weird.
461
But if you invite him into your heart, you get to go to the biggest party of all, the one in the sky.
462
Ooh, a party in the sky.

490
Then I don't want to go.
491
Everyone's going, and everyone's going to have fun.
492
This is so unfair.
493
It is.
494
You should run away from home.
495

496
that packing poop machine into our home to save her life
497
what about my life i'm not trying to kill you oh
498
yeah then why was there hate in her eyes that's how
499
everybody looks at you i got lunch dad missy put a
500
chicken in my room the sparks were gonna kill her and eat her What the hell's going on?
501
How could you?
502
What?
503
I miss your mother.
504
Is Matilda still in my closet?
505
What?
506
That's a yes.
507
Ah!
508
The bathroom's flooding!
509
What happened?
510
I flushed a chicken leg and water started going everywhere.
511
Chickens were your job Maybe you've been punished Maybe I'm a bad person That went in my mouth
512
Stay back Calm down.
513
We're taking her home to be murdered Okay, have fun Well since they get to do something fun, why can't we?
514
Oh, Chuck E.
515
Cheese.
516
That place is a nightmare Something that could be fun is the museum of...
517
No. Let him finish.
518
We already had a museum.
519
It's not going to get better.
520
The museum of the American Railroad.
521
Oh, yeah, that's worse.
522
How about a movie?
523
How about the planetarium?
524
That's like a movie where you can see real stars instead of, I don't know, Gene Kelly.
525
We're never going to agree.
526
Let's just do rock, paper, scissors.
527
No.
528
Anecdotal evidence suggests
529
that players familiar with each other will tie 75 % of the time due to the limited number of outcomes.
530
Well, what if we added a few more choices?
531
Like rock, paper, scissors, candy, pony.
532
Now you're just being silly.
533
Your idea of a winner -takes -all competition is a good one.
534
We just need to come up with something that is fair to both of us.
535
Oh, that's nice.
536
You decided to stay home and play a game?
537
Nope.
538
We're inventing a new game, and the winner gets to pick what we do today.
539
We had to find a way to make sure that it's completely fair to both of us.
540
So we made a list of 20 challenges that combined stuff we're both good at.
541
Everyone's each challenge gets to take a block and put it on top of their tower.
542
Whoever's tower reaches the height of this rock at first wins.
543
Okay, I will leave you to it.
544
And finally, both parties agree the loser will do the activity selected by the winner graciously without complaint.
545
For the purpose of this agreement, a complaint is defined as any disparaging comment, eye rolls, or name calling, including but not limited to dingus,
546
fart breath, and butt wipe.
547
Can we just sign it in play?
548
I've signed my name.
549
Feel free to draw an X.
550
I know how to write my name, Sheldon.
551
Damn it, I wrote Sheldon.
552
I win.
553
You can't set it that way.
554
Does it say that on the rules?
555
Well, no. And is this your signature?
556
Yes, but Mom, we're going to Chuck E.
557
Cheese!
558
We're not going anywhere.
559
It's almost your bedtime.
560
Sorry, hon. Well, all that matters is that I'm the winner.
561
Yes, you are.
562
Actually, I was the winner.
563
We spent the whole day doing everything I love.
564
Drafting contracts, arguing about rules, and most importantly, never leaving the house.
565
I get it.
566
What do you get?
567
Why you don't want to go to college.
568
I doubt that you do.
569
You're scared everything's gonna be different, and it'll be hard.
570
And you're gonna miss the way that it was.
571
How do you know that?
572
Because that's how I feel.
573
You're scared?
574
Yeah.
575
So what do we do?
576
I guess be scared and do it anyway.
577
It's comforting to know that you feel the same way that I do.
578
That's why I said it, dumbass.
579
Hello.
580
I'm not very comfortable speaking in front of crowds, but there's a technique to reduce stage fright by focusing on one person in the audience
581
and delivering your speech just to them.
582
That's what I'll be doing today.
583
If it weren't for this person, I wouldn't be here right now.
584
They've taught me a lot, and it's by their example that I've found the courage to move forward into this new and exciting chapter of my life.
585
Missy, this is for you.
586
Change can be scary, but I know we're going to be fine
587
because like you said it's okay to be scared we just have to do it anyway
588
so if any of my fellow graduates are nervous about the future know
589
that you're not alone I suggest you all try to be as brave as my twin sister that's my plan.
590
Missy, I wish I could give you advice about middle school, but I was so smart I skipped it.
591
If you make it to high school, we'll talk.
592
Thank you.

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
Get ready to boost your English speaking practice with a fun, relatable dialogue from a lively video! This lesson focuses on everyday conversational skills, including quick responses, emotional expressions, and natural pronunciation. Whether you're prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more fluent, the casual back-and-forth in this video is perfect for honing real-world communication. You'll learn to keep up with fast-paced exchanges and mimic the tone of family banter—skills that stick because they're rooted in genuine interaction.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Master
- Forego: To choose not to do something. Example: "I decided to forego my normal routine."
- Default mode: A usual way of reacting. Example: "My family's default mode is panic."
- Ebbing: Gradually decreasing. Example: "Life was ebbing from his body."
- Apathy: Lack of interest or concern. Example: "Her apathy made the situation worse."
- Non-Euclidean geometry: A type of math beyond basic shapes (great for academic vocabulary!).
Practice Tips for Shadowing Success
The video's mix of panic, sarcasm, and casual chat makes it ideal for mastering the shadowing technique. Here's how to nail it: First, watch the video once to get the gist. Then, play short 5-10 second clips and repeat them immediately, matching the speed and tone—even the dramatic "Shona's gonna die!" moments. This trains your mouth to move like a native and improves English pronunciation. For tricky parts (like "linoleum" or "Formica"), pause, break the word into syllables, and practice until it flows. If you're using a shadowing site, loop the clips to build muscle memory. Remember, speed comes with practice—start slow, focus on clarity, then gradually match the video's pace. These quick, daily sessions will make you more confident in real conversations, whether for IELTS or chatting with friends. You've got this—every repeat brings you closer to fluency!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've learned · Have you always been · I've come |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | be timed · be known · isn't invited |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past | weren't kidding · was making · was hoping |
| Superlatives the -est / the most … — the top or bottom of a group | the most donations · the greatest · the most popular |
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.
