Sheldon: You seem awfully young, Paige. Are you with an adult who's taking this class?
Paige: No. Dr. Sturgis heard about my research on quantum chromodynamics at high temperatures and invited me to audit his course.
Sheldon: Is that so?
Paige: Yes. He's been super nice.
Sheldon: Interesting. Well, just so we're clear, he's my mentor, he's my meemaw's boyfriend, and he had spaghetti and hot dogs at my house.

Meemaw: Okay. I'll see you later.
Sheldon: Are you sure you don't want to stay with me?
Meemaw: I don't think so. I don't really understand this stuff.
Sheldon: That's how I felt when we watched Dirty Dancing, and I stayed.
Meemaw: When Patrick Swayze takes his shirt off in here, I'll be back.

Sheldon: How come you never mentioned she was coming to this class?
Dr. John Sturgis: I thought it would be a fun surprise.
Sheldon: I don't like surprises.
Dr. John Sturgis: Neither do I.
Sheldon: Then why did you do it?
Dr. John Sturgis: Some people like surprises.
Paige: I love surprises.
Dr. John Sturgis: Did you enjoy this one?
Paige: Yes.
Dr. John Sturgis: A 50% success rate. Not bad.

Meemaw: Awful quiet back there.
Sheldon: I'm having an emotion I'm unfamiliar with.
Meemaw: Hmm. Think it might have something to do with your new classmate?
Sheldon: It's possible. She's the only variable in the social equation.
Meemaw: So what are you feeling?
Sheldon: My face is hot, I've a knot in my stomach, and I'm resisting the urge to kick your seat right now.
Meemaw: I'm thinking it might be jealousy.
Sheldon: No, that's not in my nature.
Meemaw: All right, let's go through all the emotions. I'm looking at your face, so I'm gonna rule out happy. Are you sad?
Sheldon: No, there's too much anger in there.
Meemaw: Oh, well, maybe you're angry.
Sheldon: No, there's too much sad in there.

Dr. John Sturgis: I was calling because there's a new student in my class who's Sheldon's age.
Mary: No kidding.
Dr. John Sturgis: Her mother wondered if I could put you two in contact since you have so much in common.
Mary: Oh, of course.
Dr. John Sturgis: Excellent. I'll give you the number when you're ready.
Mary: Um, I am ready.
Dr. John Sturgis: 409-356-6049.
Mary: John?
Dr. John Sturgis: Yes?
Mary: That's my number.
Dr. John Sturgis: [LAUGHS] So it is!

Mary: Come on, Shelly. Maybe you'll end up being friends.
Sheldon: I don't like her, I'm not going to like her, and Tam is my friend. I don't need another one.
Mary: You can have more than one friend. I'm sure Tam has other friends.
Sheldon: No, I'm all he's got. And even I avoid him half the time.

Mary: So Paige didn't make a good first impression, but that can change. What's that new Star Trek show?
Sheldon: Next Generation?
Mary: When that first came on, you said a new Star Trek without Dr. Spock could never be good, but I've seen you watching it.
Sheldon: Well, first of all, it's Mr. Spock. Dr. Spock writes books about babies.
Mary: My apologies.
Sheldon: And second of all, Paige isn't a TV show. She's a person, and we all know how I feel about people. [BLOWS RASPBERRY]

Adult Sheldon: : Vulcans use a technique called Kolinahr to suppress their emotions.
Mary: [OFF-SCREEN] Sheldon, they're here!
Adult Sheldon: Obviously, I wasn't a Vulcan. So I did the next best thing: took my feelings and shoved them down so far they may have been lost forever.

Dr. John Sturgis: Now, does anyone know what happens to quarks when we combine them to make mesons and baryons? Yes, Paige.
Paige: We can ignore the particle masses at the individual quark level.
Dr. John Sturgis: Correct. You are really- [remembering Meemaw's warning] That was correct, Paige. And, Sheldon, is that a new bow tie?
Sheldon: It is.
Dr. John Sturgis: Lookin' sharp!
Sheldon: Thanks.
Dr. John Sturgis: That was a close one.

Erica: I love that song.
Missy: I have a cassette of it, but I recorded it off the radio. You can hear Sheldon in the background saying stuff about Sir Isaac Neutron.

Mary: So, Barry, uh, Linda tells me you're a dentist?
Barry: Uh, yes. I have a practice up in Jasper. Uh, Paige actually does some of the bookkeeping for us.
Mary: That's so funny. Sheldon does our taxes.
Linda: Oh!
Barry: Yeah, we used to pay her in stickers, but, this year, she actually started asking for money.
George: Well, don't let Sheldon hear that. We pay him in binder clips.

Georgie: What grade are you in?
Erica: Eighth. You?
Georgie: Tenth.
Erica: Cool.
Missy: Nobody asked, but fourth.

Georgie: You have no idea how much it sucks to have a brother like him. Believe it or not, he's in my class.
Erica: My parents sent Paige to a private school.
Missy: Cool. We're too poor for that.

Mary: Oh, thank you, Lord, for connecting us with the parents of another special child. [Mary sees Georgie and Missy sitting on the couch] You kids are special, too.
Georgie: Do you feel special?
Missy: At least I'm the only daughter. You got nothing.

Paige: The spaghetti goes on the hot dogs?
Sheldon: No. You realize this is a very advanced class. We'll be discussing deriving nuclear physics from the quark model.
Paige: Do you know if he'll be doing a full color octet calculation with matrix manipulations?
Sheldon: I do not.
Paige: Do you know how to differentiate under the integral sign?
Sheldon: No.
Paige: [CHUCKLES] Well, do you know anything?
Sheldon: I know you're in my spot.
