A Virus, Heartbreak and a World of Possibilities

Young Sheldon 4×15

Adult Sheldon: As long as humans have been on Earth, they've had to contend with viruses. And as long as I've been on Earth, I've come up with fun ways to avoid them... and I was social distancing before it was cool. But in the early '90s, a new type of virus became prevalent. One that no amount of hand-washing could stop. A computer virus...

Sheldon: Why do these games have to be so expensive?
Tam: At least you have MTV. All I have is TV.
Sheldon: Will you please stop focusing on what you don't have and try to focus on what I don't have?

Mary: Do you have any plans Saturday?
George: Why? There a Church thing?
Mary: No.
George: I'm free.
Mary: Good, because Brenda's having a rough time and I want to show her some fun.
George: Fun? You?
Mary: Yes, me!
George: Sorry, that came out wrong.
Mary: I know how to have a good time.
George: Of course you do... That came out wrong, too.

Meemaw: So how come it's taken us so long to hang out?
Brenda: Well... my husband never left me before.
Meemaw: We can joke about it?... Good. 'Cause that's gonna make this night way easier.

Meemaw: Is that three beers I see?
Mary: It's girls' night out and I said I was gonna show you a good time.
Meemaw: All right, then, party girl, give us a toast.
Mary: Oh, um, well, uh... Bless these beers and the bartender who poured them.
Meemaw: Seriously?

Mary: So, then, was there no big blowup when he left?
Brenda: Not really.
Mary: Well, what happened?
Brenda: Let's see... We used to be happy. Little by little, we weren't. Then there was bickering, then there was silence, and then... it was over. I mean... all couples bicker, right?

Adult Sheldon: Like a virus, heartbreak can also spread. Once it does, it's hard to contain. In some cases you can try to reboot and start over. But it makes you appreciate those early days, when your hard drive was clean... and the world was full of possibility.
