Mandy: I'm upset. That's a lot of babysitters to lose.
Meemaw: I'm still here.
Georgie: Yeah, but your bedtime's earlier than CeeCee's.
Meemaw: Only when I'm drinking.

Mary: Can we talk?
Sheldon: About you not moving?
George: Sheldon. You know how excited you are to go to Caltech? That's how I feel about going to Houston.
Sheldon: But when I was going to Caltech, I still had this home to come back to.
Mary: You'll still have a room wherever we end up.
Sheldon: But it won't be my room. This is my room.
Mary: How about this... we will take all your things with us and we'll set up your new room exactly the same.
Sheldon: So, your plan is to gaslight me?
George: [sighs] I know this is a lot of change, but sometimes change can be good.
Sheldon: Tell that to the woolly mammoth. You can't, because they went extinct.

Sheldon: So, how have you been?
Tam: Good. I actually have a girlfriend now and...
Sheldon: Oh, I've had a pretty rough time of it lately. I'm about to go away to Caltech and my parents decided to sell our home and move to Houston. I mean, that house has my room in it.
Tam: Well...
Sheldon: So now some stranger's gonna move in and turn it into a den, or worse... a nursery with a mural of Winnie the Pooh on the wall.
Tam: I think I might ask her to marry me.
Sheldon: Feynman and Einstein have been on those walls for five years, and now it's gonna be Tigger bouncing hither and thither?
Tam: Are you at all interested in my life?
Sheldon: No, but thank you for asking.

Sheldon: It's completely logical. You don't have your own house and you always complain about living with Mr. Ballard.
Dale: Wait a minute. You complaining to him about me?
Meemaw: No. I complain about you near him.
Sheldon: I have excellent hearing.
Meemaw: It doesn't matter.

Meemaw: Look, actually, I'm very happy living with Dale.
Dale: Well, first you're complaining, now you're complimenting?
Meemaw: I can go back to complaining.
Dale: No, no, no. Compliment away.
Meemaw: Fine. I really enjoy living with you, and your... moose lodge decor has come to feel like home.
Dale: Now, is that a compliment or a complaint?
Meemaw: It's a little of both.
Dale: I'll take it.

Sheldon: Honestly, I can't think of a better starter home for a new family such as the one you've accidentally created.
Mandy: Do you think we'd be living with my parents if we could afford our own house?
Sheldon: Well, the history of banking in this country is rife with ill-advised loans made to poor people. You could be their next mistake.
Georgie: CeeCee would have her own room and we'd have an extra bedroom for whatever we want.
Sheldon: Actually, I'd like my room to stay as is, but when you accidentally have more kids, we can talk.
Georgie: It's happened once bef...
Mandy: No.
Georgie: Okay.

Sheldon: But if my parents sell it, I have no reason to come back.
President Hagemeyer: Sheldon, is it possible that what you're upset about is going away to California?
Sheldon: No, I'm excited about that.
President Hagemeyer: Well, things can be exciting and scary at the same time.
Sheldon: True. Once, on a dare, I ate a Sour Patch Kid. I thought I was gonna die. You would not believe the puckering. But now it makes a terrific story.
President Hagemeyer: Oh, riveting.

President Hagemeyer: Anyway, it's okay to have complicated feelings. Maybe you're focusing on your parents' move because that's easier than focusing on what lies ahead.
Sheldon: What do you think lies ahead?
President Hagemeyer: I don't know. You're moving far away.
Sheldon: I am, and I don't know anyone there. And I'm scared of the ocean. And they have earthquakes. What am I doing? Maybe I should stay here.
President Hagemeyer: Oh. I mean... [scoffs] Well, you could, but... Er... Professor Hawking is at Caltech. He will be very disappointed if you don't show up and- and tell him that Sour Patch story.
Sheldon: Good point.
President Hagemeyer: Great point.
Sheldon: Plus, I'm never gonna win a Nobel Prize at this third-rate university.
President Hagemeyer: Second-rate. Now, get out of here. I don't want you to see me cry.
Sheldon: Thank you. I don't want to see that either.
[After Sheldon gets up and leaves, President Hagemeyer sighs and crosses out an other day on her May calendar.]
President Hagemeyer: One more down. You can do it, Linda.

Mary: I know it looks a little lived in, but it's got good bones.
George: Yeah. How much can we get for it?
Joanna: Well, I need to see the rest of the house.
George: Of course, yeah.
Mary: And we recently redid the plumbing.
George: And that was pricey. Write that down.

Georgie: Hey.
George: Hey.
Georgie: Should you be up there?
George: Yeah, the realtor said we'd get a better price if the roof was in good shape. I'm just taking a look.
Georgie: Yeah, but a man your age. And size.
George: Did you come out here to insult me?
Georgie: Mom sent me out here to help. The insults just come natural.

Georgie: You even know what you're looking for?
George: Broken shingles, loose flashing.
Georgie: Loose flashing? How do you even know that?
George: Is it weird that I know things?
Georgie: Not weird, just surprising.

George: Well, one day, you're gonna own a house, you're gonna need to learn this stuff, too.
Georgie: No, I'm gonna make enough money to where I can pay somebody else to do it.
George: I'd love to see that.
Georgie: Oh, now you're making fun of me.
George: No, I mean it.
Georgie: 'Cause I got a plan. I'm gonna be rich.
George: Yeah, what's your plan?
Georgie: To be rich.
George: [chuckles] Well, I'll give you one thing. You got confidence.
Georgie: Thank you.
George: You get a second thing, you'll be unstoppable.
Georgie: Sounds like I'm halfway there.
George: I suppose you are.

Missy: Well, I'm sure you'll make lots of friends. Maybe even a smart, weird girlfriend.
Sheldon: I have a girlfriend. Her name is science.
Missy: Cool. When do you leave?

Mandy: Hey, uh, speaking of smells, do I have time to change CeeCee?
Mary: Still waiting on George. Go ahead.
Mandy: Okay.
Georgie: You need some help?
Mandy: No. Uh, well, I am in all white. Yes.

[Sheldon puts his cutlery down on his plate, stands up and takes his plate with him]
Mary: Where are you going?
Sheldon: To eat in my room while I still have one. [exits]
George: Sheldon's upset and Missy's good. Yeah, sounds about right.
Missy: The new girl has a pool. [chuckle]
