Mary: Don't forget, we have the family portrait today.
Missy: Do we really have to stand in a field of flowers?
Mary: Yes.
Sheldon: If you're worried about getting stung, I have a backup beekeeper uniform.
Mary: You are not wearing a beekeeper uniform in the picture.
Missy: Please? It'll really help my story about him going to a special school.

George: What's happening?
Mary: We are leaving for the bluebonnet picture at 4:00. Don't be late.
George: Wouldn't miss it. Hey, you want a ride to school?
Missy: Nah, I'll take the bus.
George: Suit yourself. See y'all later.
[Sheldon doesn't look up from his bowl of cereal.]
Mary: Four o'clock.
[George nods and leaves]

Sheldon: If I get stung by a bee, I'm turning you in to child protective services.

Meemaw: What am I smelling?
Sheldon: I'm wearing peppermint oil. It's a natural bee repellant.
Missy: You smell like a candy cane.
Sheldon: Do not lick me.

Mandy: What's going on?
Coach Wilkins: Mary, we got some bad news.
Mary: Where's George?
[Missy and Meemaw wander over and stand next to Mary]
Principal Petersen: I'm so sorry. He, uh... He had a heart attack.
Missy: But he... he's okay, right?
Principal Petersen: He's gone.

Mary: Well, make sure you leave room for the family photo, because that is definitely happening before you go away.
Missy: Seriously? That bluebonnet thing? That is so lame.
Mary: It is not lame. It is a Texas tradition.
Adult Sheldon: For those of you who don't know what my mother is talking about, it's this and this and all these. Forcing your family to dress in matching outfits and be photographed in a field of fire ants and bees is a traditional Texas torture dating back to the Great Depression. Are they depressed because of financial ruin? No, it's the picture.

Missy: Wait, where is Rice?
Mary: Houston.
Mandy: Does that mean you'd move?
George: Well, if I take it, yeah.
Missy: So, I'd start high school in Houston?
Mary: We know that would be a big change.
Missy: I'd get to be the new girl in a city with malls and a Six Flags.
George: We were worried you'd be upset.

Sheldon: Excuse me, don't I get a say in this?
Missy: Why? You're leaving in 41 days.
Sheldon: Doesn't matter. This is still my home.
Mary: Shelly, you'll have a new home.
George: Maybe with a pool.
Missy: Ooh, the new girl gets a pool.

Sheldon: Hello, Mr. Givens.
Mr. Givens: Sheldon? Uh, what are you doing here? Please don't tell me you're teaching.
Sheldon: No. I'm leaving for Caltech soon. I just wanted to pop in.
Mr. Givens: Uh, keep reading chapter 12 - or pretend to.

Dale: Is that what you're gonna wear for the family portrait?
Meemaw: We all are.
Dale: Well, that'll be special.
Meemaw: It'll make Mary happy.
Dale: Yeah. All your loved ones together.
Meemaw: Are you upset you're not gonna be in the picture?
Dale: Standing in a field full of pollen with this nose? Are you kidding me?

Mary: I'm guessing you don't have classes today?
Sheldon: How'd you know?
Missy: 'Cause you're dressed like a six-year-old.
Mary: Don't say that. He looks... fun.
Sheldon: Thank you.

Sheldon: I'm pretty booked up, but I'll try and pencil you in if time permits.
Mary: I bought the outfits, I booked the photographer. You're doing it.
George: Doing what?
Missy: That bluebonnet photo.
George: Aw, come on. I don't want to.
Missy: If he doesn't have to...
Mary: We are all doing it, and we're all gonna be happy whether you like it or not.

George: Wow, Tom, I... I don't know what to say.
Principal Petersen: You can say no and stay here.
George: Well, I sure ain't saying that. [chuckles] But moving to Houston... that's a big deal.
Principal Petersen: That's why I wanted to give you a heads-up, so you and Mary could talk before they make the offer.
George: Appreciate that.
Principal Petersen: Congratulations, George. I've always believed in you.
George: What about that time you fired me?
Principal Petersen: We're having a nice moment, do you have to?

Sheldon: Do you know any comic book stores in Pasadena? I'm worried I'm not gonna find any as good as this one.
Nathan: I like to think a comic book store is only as good as the people who hang out in it.
Sheldon: Do you like the people who hang out in this one?
Nathan: No.
Sheldon: Mm. I also need to stock up on some more T-shirts while I'm here.
Nathan: Yeah, sure. I mean, you want to look bitchin'. It's another thing they say in SoCal.
Sheldon: I won't be saying that.
Nathan: Well, guess I'll see you around.
Sheldon: You probably won't.
Nathan: Okay.
Adult Sheldon: And I never saw him again.

Mary: Since everyone is here, there's something we want to talk to y'all about.
Missy: Oh, no, what's wrong now?
George: It isn't always bad news.
Sheldon: Last time we had a family meeting it was because Georgie got a girl pregnant out of wedlock.
Meemaw: Which was great news.
Mandy: Eventually.
