Sheldon: fiddling with his fork Mom, she's... ancient. Like, did she invent fire?
My mom’s a cougar. She’s the lioness of the jungle. She’s powerful, protective, loving, caring, and she can still get down with you if you know what I mean.
Yeah, but I'm more of a lamb, I think.
Lamb is good. Lamb is sweet. Lamb is precious and loving and gentle. Lamb loves to snuggle. Lamb is an adorable little ball of fluff… Lamb….
sits up straight, looking determined Look, Vargas, I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't do this. I can't date my mom.
She doesn’t see it that way. And trust me, she’s a tiger in the sack.
leans back, crossing arms Well, sorry to disappoint, but I'm not interested in sleeping with my mom.
I didn’t say you would. I’m just saying she’s a cougar, you’re a lamb… It’s a natural pairing.
rolls eyes Yeah, natural pairing or not, this just feels wrong on so many levels. I mean, we were talking about trust earlier, right?
Trust me, if you can get past the weirdness, it’ll be worth it.
leans forward, voice raised Vargas, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is my life we're talking about!
You’re my life, it could work out.
stands up abruptly Look, Vargas, I understand that you're trying to help, but this is my decision to make. I need some space to figure things out on my own.
Okay, okay. Take all the time you need. Just remember, whenever you’re ready, my mom’s waiting for you.
grabs their coat and starts putting it on Thanks for being understanding, Vargas. I really appreciate it. But right now, I need to get out of here.
Sure thing, Sheldon. We can go our separate ways now.
takes a deep breath, feeling relieved Thank you for respecting my decision, Vargas. I hope we can still be friends despite everything.
Of course, Sheldon. Friends. Good friends.
smiles softly Thanks, Vargas. I know things got awkward, but I still value our friendship.
Great. Now that that’s settled, I’ve got a killer couch I can let you borrow. It’s a real beaut.
raises an eyebrow skeptically A killer couch, huh? Well, if you insist. I could use some distraction from this whole fiasco.
Awesome. The couch is yours. I’ll bring it over later today.
grinning mischievously Vargas, I can't wait to see this killer couch of yours. It better live up to its reputation or else I'll be sending you back to the drawing board!
Oh, it’s gonna be great, just wait. You’re gonna love it.
Sheldon and Vargas remain friends, and Sheldon finds comfort in their friendship despite the recent awkward situation with Vargas's mom.
I’m glad we’re still friends. And I’m glad you don’t think any less of me, even though I’m talking about my mom.
smiling warmly Vargas, I'm not judging you or your mom. We all have our quirks and secrets. The important thing is that we respect each other's choices.
Thanks, Sheldon. That means a lot to me.
puts a hand on Vargas's shoulder No need to thank me, Vargas. We're friends, remember? We stick together through thick and thin.
I’m lucky to have you as a friend.
laughs lightly Aw, Vargas, you're making me blush! Lucky to have you too, buddy. Now, let's put all this craziness behind us and enjoy some good old-fashioned friendship.
Sounds good, Sheldon. Let’s forget about all this and do something fun.
grinning mischievously Fun, huh? Well, I've got just the thing to shake off this weird vibe. How about we go to the amusement park?
An amusement park? That sounds like fun.
starts rummaging through their bag Alright, Vargas, let's get this show on the road!
Wait, wait, let me buy you a ticket, at least.
stops rummaging and looks at Vargas with a playful smile Aw, Vargas, you don't have to buy me a ticket.
But I want to. Consider it a peace offering.
chuckles Alright, Vargas, if you insist. Peace offering accepted. But don't expect me to let you win on the roller coaster!
