Sheldon: The show not only takes place but is also filmed in Los Angeles, California. That's obviously where she's heading. [phone rings]
Meemaw: [answers phone] Cooper residence.
Sheldon: Now, given the amount of time since she's left...
Meemaw: They're okay! [Mary sighs] They've found them.
Mary: Oh, thank God.
George: Where are they?
Meemaw: Uh, about an hour east of Baton Rouge. Apparently they were on their way to Florida.
Sheldon: That's not where Luke Perry is. Let me speak to them.

Linda: I'm real sorry for whatever Paige got Missy into.
Mary: Thanks, but I think this one's on Missy.
Linda: I doubt it. Last month she swiped my credit card and bought a plane ticket to Hawaii. Nonrefundable.
Mary: What did you do?
Linda: What could I do? I dropped her off at her dad's and I went to Hawaii.

Sheldon: [sighs] What was Missy thinking? Why Florida?
Meemaw: Why does it matter?
Sheldon: I made a solid hypothesis backed by data. Where did I go wrong?
Meemaw: You tried to predict a teenage girl.
Sheldon: Perhaps when she gets back we can take her in for a brain scan.
Meemaw: Maybe what Missy needs is for us all to be a little understanding.
Sheldon: I'm trying to understand. That's why I need the brain scan.
Meemaw: Look, your sister's going through a lot these days. She's feeling overlooked, confused, angry, sad.
Sheldon: She's feeling all those things at once?
Meemaw: Yeah.
Sheldon: And I can't scan her brain? That is so unfair.

George: I'm just saying, I have a good relationship with Missy. Yeah, I taught her how to throw a ball. Taught her how to drive.
Mary: You taught her how to drive?
George: Oh, uh... You know, just the basics in- in a parking lot. Hey, she made it all the way to Louisiana without getting into an accident. I think I did a pretty good job.
Mary: Unbelievable.

Mary: If you need a break, I can drive for a bit.
George: I'm okay, thanks.
Missy: I could take a turn.
Mary: Not a time for jokes.
George: You may never drive again.

Missy: What do we do?
Paige: We need to get our stories straight. We're cousins, you're 14, you forgot your license at home, and we're on our way to the hospital to visit our grandma.
Missy: Okay.
[After Officer Larson approaches the car, Missy winds down the driver's-side window]
Missy: I'm only 14, I stole my dad's truck and we didn't pay for breakfast at the diner. We just left.
Officer Larson: Okay. And who's this?
Missy: My cousin, Ginger.

Officer Larson: All right. Your parents are on the way.
Missy: Are they mad?
Officer Larson: If my daughter stole my car and ran away, I'd be mad.
Missy: What if she had a good reason?
Officer Larson: Do you have a good reason?
Missy: Well, my brother's really smart and my older brother had a baby and they were ignoring me.
Paige: You might need a better reason.

Missy: Hi, uh, ten dollars on pump, uh... whichever that one is.
Cashier: Ain't you young to be driving?
Missy: Oh, I'm just pumping gas for my dad. He's in the bathroom. Might be a while.
Cashier: [scoffs] Been there.

Missy: We are breaking so many laws right now.
Paige: I feel like Thelma & Louise.
Missy: Me too. Have you seen that movie?
Paige: No.
Missy: Me neither. [giggles]

Missy: I'm on pump number three. You?
Customer: Two.
Missy: Nice.

Paige: Why didn't we do this years ago?
Missy: My feet wouldn't reach the pedals.

Sheldon: Dad, wake up. There's a problem.
George: What? What's wrong?
Sheldon: It's Saturday morning and no one's cooking bacon.
George: Oh. So go cook bacon.
Sheldon: But Mom cooks bacon.
George: Well, she's at your meemaw's.
Sheldon: Which is why I'm waking you up.
George: Sheldon, you're a very intelligent little boy, I'm sure you can handle bacon.
Sheldon: I'll wake up Missy.
George: No, wait... [exhales] She's mad at the world right now. Just leave her alone.
Sheldon: Then I'll call Mom.
George: [groans] Okay... I'll make your stupid bacon, happy?
Sheldon: I've been better.

Missy: This is the best day of my life.
Paige: First time running away?
Missy: Pretty much.
Paige: Think your parents know you're gone?
Missy: They barely know when I'm there.
[cuts back-and-forth between George knocking on Missy's bedroom door, and Missy and Paige in a roadside diner:]
George: [knocks] Missy, there's breakfast. We saved you a little.
Missy: What about somewhere with a beach, like California?
Paige: We've already driven five hours east, so we might want to keep heading that way.
Missy: East. You really are smart.
George: I get there was a lot of yelling last night. Just want you to know I'm here when you're ready to talk.
Paige: I mean, if you want a beach, then Florida's in the right direction. Oh, and it's almost spring break.
Missy: Like MTV Spring Break?
Paige: Mm-hmm.
George: If you expect me to apologize, you can sit in there forever.
Paige: Great. Then we're going to Florida.
Missy: Let's pay and get out of here.
Paige: Or... let's not pay and get out of here.
George: Fine, ignore me. I'm eating your bacon.

George: It's a '86 Ford F-250.
Officer Rodriguez: And you didn't hear anything?
George: No.
Officer Rodriguez: What about you, ma'am?
Mary: Well, um, actually...
Sheldon: Oh, she hasn't slept here in days. She's just getting her things.
Mary: I was taking care of the baby. We have a new grandbaby. [chuckles]

Mary: Missy. Open up. [gasps] Missy?
George: Son of a bitch.
Sheldon: Huh, your truck's gone and she's gone? What are the odds of that?
George: She took my truck, Sheldon.
Sheldon: Oh, more chaos. Got it.
