March 12, 2020When Ms. Hutchins is injured at a school football game, George feels guilty so the Cooper family take her in as she recuperates. Meanwhile, Meemaw gives Georgie relationship advice.
Quote from Ms. Hutchins
George: You comfortable? Can I get you anything else?
Ms. Hutchins: No. I-I'm okay. You've been so kind to welcome me into your home.
George: Well, it's the least we could do.
Ms. Hutchins: It's so nice to be around a family like this. [crying] I've been alone for... so long. Honestly, if it weren't for the cats, I'd have no one. Oh, wait. The cats! I abandoned Edgar and Allan.
George: Edgar and Allan?
Ms. Hutchins: Poe ran away. Would you please go feed them and tell them I love them?
George: Uh... any chance this could wait till morning?
Ms. Hutchins: [crying] I guess.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: If I don't go to college, what am I supposed to do? Spend all my days in high school? How sad is that?
Ms. Hutchins: Pretty sad.
Sheldon: You always did get me.
Ms. Hutchins: Sounds like you're feeling misunderstood.
Sheldon: I am... by Dr. Sturgis, my mother, and possibly the entire Vietnamese culture.
Ms. Hutchins: Do you understand that I'm in a little bit of pain right now?
Sheldon: Oh, I'm sorry. I should be exhibiting compassion. Aw. Wait, I can do better. Aw.
Ms. Hutchins: Nailed it.
Quote from Missy
Missy: Whoa.
Sheldon: What's that?
Missy: It's a ghost detector that came in my cereal box.
Sheldon: It's just a piece of paper.
Missy: Then why did it move in my hand?
Sheldon: From perspiration.
Missy: Or ghosts.
Quote from Sheldon
Mary: What I meant was... maybe it's time to take a break from your college classes.
Sheldon: What? Why? I've gotten straight As.
Mary: I know you're smart enough for college. I'm just not sure you're mature enough.
Sheldon: Well, it appears you've backed me into a corner. I would throw a tantrum right now, but that would just prove your point.
Mary: Where are you going?
Sheldon: To play with my trains. Which may sound immature, but it's a hobby many old men enjoy.
Quote from George Jr.
Jana: I'm the only cheerleader you should be looking at.
Georgie: Oh. Hi. Oh, I was trying to find you.
Jana: Just wanted to wish you a good game.
Georgie: Thank you.
Jana: I'm gonna be cheering for you.
Georgie: Great.
Jana: Unless I catch you looking at someone else. Then you'll regret it.
Georgie: [chuckles]
Jana: I'm not kidding.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Hang in there.
Ms. Hutchins: I'm hangin'.
George: Hey, this will be quite a story to tell your grandkids, huh?
Ms. Hutchins: I live alone. I'm single. I don't think grandkids are in the picture.
George: Oh. Well, I... I got a wife, kids. It's... It's overrated.
Quote from Mary
Mary: [on the phone] Well, you can't bring her home to an empty apartment. Bring her here, and we'll look after her until she's back on her feet.
George: You sure?
Mary: Of course. We'll set her up in Georgie's room.
George: Thanks, Mare. See you in a bit.
Mary: Hey, George. It's real nice of you, taking care of her like this.
George: Well, it was kinda my fault.
Mary: Kinda? It was all your fault.
George: Bye.
Quote from Coach Wilkins
Coach Wilkins: How's she doing?
George: Well, not bad. Could be worse. A little whiplash, couple of bruised ribs, broken arm... and collarbone. But that's it.
Coach Wilkins: Pretty funny how you jumped out of the way and let her get clobbered.
George: I did not jump out of the way!
Coach Wilkins: Oh, yeah, you did. [chuckles] They got you on tape.
Quote from George Sr.
Georgie: So you just put her in my room without consulting me?
George: Consulting you? Who cares what you think?
Georgie: Well, I ain't gonna sleep on the couch.
Mary: It's just for a few nights until she can take care of herself.
Georgie: Can I at least stay at Meemaw's?
George: If you promise not to come back.
Georgie: Why you got to be so mean to me?
George: It just feels right.
Quote from Meemaw
Georgie: Who buys this crap?
Meemaw: Me, after three beers. I mean, look at this damn thing. What was I thinking? [chuckles]
Quote from Meemaw
Georgie: It's just, I've been seeing Jana for a while now, and I like her fine... but it feels like she's getting more serious than I want to be.
Meemaw: Georgie, until you're married, you are not tied down to anybody. You just go ahead and do whatever you want. Play the field. Have some fun.
Georgie: Interesting. That's what Dale said, too.
Meemaw: Oh, did he?
Georgie: Yeah.
Meemaw: My boyfriend?
Georgie: [chuckles] Yeah.
Quote from Sheldon
George: It's time for your pain pill.
Sheldon: Be careful. You could become addicted and lose your job. Which is all you have.
George: [sighs] Get out of here.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Son of a bitch! Here! Edgar! Or Allan. Whichever the hell one you are.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: They ever leave the store together?
Georgie: Can I please just go to bed?
Meemaw: Just answer the damn question.
Georgie: I feel like I'm gonna get fired for this.
Meemaw: Georgie, don't worry. Anything you say is gonna stay right here.
Georgie: But you lie all the time. I learned to lie from you.
Meemaw: See what a special bond we have? Now answer the damn question!
Quote from Missy
Mary: Mornin'.
Missy: Did you check on Ms. Hutchins? Is she still alive?
Mary: Of course she is. Why?
Missy: No reason.
