Georgie: And I wasn't eavesdropping.
George: Don't worry about it.
Georgie: I just don't see why I got grounded.
George: What are you complaining about? You didn't want to go to church picnic anyway.
Georgie: I like complaining. I'm good at it.

Adult Sheldon: The average American consumes 55 pounds of beef per year. And then there's Texas, where we can knock that off in a couple of months. Maybe faster, if we're talking about smoked brisket. Curiously, the one cut of beef that Texans and Jews agree upon.

Adult Sheldon: Finally, the cooking began. 14 hours of cooking. And basting. And spritzing. And tending to the fire.
George: Oh. Rest, my darling. Rest.

George: I don't want this woman in my house anymore.
Mary: She is my mother.
George: She is the devil.

George: I'll be right back.
Georgie: Mind if I have a sip of your beer?
George: You mind if I dip your head in the compost heap?
Georgie: You could have just said no.

Georgie: Ooh.
George: Found it?
Georgie: No, this is her French toast.
George: You're not looking for French toast.
Georgie: She does make it good, though.

Butcher: Can I help you?
George: Matter of fact, you can. I need 12 pounds of prime Angus with a medium deckle, ideally slaughtered in the spring, no later than mid-June.

Adult Sheldon: For the spice rub, Meemaw had him drive to New Orleans to buy ground coffee from Cafe Du Monde, and seven ounces of something called "holy ghost root" from a voodoo woman named Madam Laveau.

Sheldon: I know Meemaw's brisket recipe.
George: What?
Meemaw: No, you don't.
Sheldon: Yes, I do. And in order to bring peace to this family, I'm prepared to make it public.
Meemaw: You're bluffing.
Sheldon: One tablespoon of cumin, one cup of brown sugar, two tablespoons of smoked paprika-
Meemaw: Okay, okay, stop.

Adult Sheldon: Don't let the hug fool you. The minute she went home, he made me give him the recipe.

Sheldon: Mother-in-laws are always held in low regard by the father. It rarely leads to a breakup of the family.
Missy: He's right. Fred and Wilma are still happily married.

Meemaw: I tell you what. You go get a piece of paper and a pencil, I'll write it down for you.
George: Okay. It's happening!
Mary: That's the fastest I've seen him run.
Sheldon: It's the only time I've seen him run.

Adult Sheldon: Then back home, he applied the spice rub with such erotic tenderness, it made my mother a little jealous.

Georgie: Did you know she puts vanilla extract in her whipped cream?
George: I did not.
Georgie: Quarter teaspoon.
George: Georgie?
Georgie: Yeah?
George: We're looking for brisket!
Georgie: Cranky.

George: I'm sorry, I-I just needed a break from your mother.
Mary: Yeah, well, you took a break from your family. How long is this feud between you two gonna go on?
George: That's up to her.
Mary: You are both such stubborn donkey butts! [Missy laughing] Missy, go to bed!
Missy: You don't know it's me.
