Georgie: Well, I can write you a letter if you want.
Mandy: Please don't.
Georgie: Why not?
Mandy: 'Cause your spelling makes me sad.
Georgie: I can use small words.

Meemaw: And for your information, you fart all night long.
Dale: It's 'cause of your cooking. Quit feeding me fajitas.

Mandy: Aw. I think it's so romantic, you two writing to each other.
Georgie: It's just 'cause he's a cheapskate.
George: It can be both.
Mandy: Well, I think it's sweet.

Missy: Is it okay if Taylor and I hang out in my room and listen to music?
George: Sure. Just keep the door closed so I don't have to hear it.
Missy: You got it. [Missy and Taylor walk off]
George: Probably gonna listen to show tunes.

Mary: Absolutely not.
Sheldon: But we're in Europe, the birthplace of the modern rail system.
Mary: It is also the birthplace of the guillotine. You're not playing with that, either.
Sheldon: But I'm a college senior and I know more about trains than Richard Trevithick.
Mary: Who?
Sheldon: He built the first working steam locomotive.
Mary: I don't care. You are not gallivanting around Europe on a train by yourself.
Sheldon: German children ride trains by themselves all the time.
Mary: When you become a German child, we'll talk.
[Sheldon goes into his room and slams the door]
Mary: [sighs] Richard Trevithick? How does he know these things?

George: Besides, this is nice, writing back and forth, kind of like when I was in the Army.
Meemaw: Oh, she writing you back, too, huh?
George: Mm-hmm.
Meemaw: Huh.
George: What?
Meemaw: My house blows away, I don't even get a damn postcard.
George: Well, you should write her first. That's what I did.
Meemaw: Well, I'm not her cheapskate husband.
George: [v.o.] Heads up, I might kill your mother before you get back.

Sheldon: Oh, 7:19 to Frankfurt. Birthplace of the frankfurter. That's a must-see.

[As Meemaw writes a letter at Dale's kitchen table, he's playing his guitar and singing "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash]
Meemaw: [v.o.] George tells me you and Sheldon are having a good time in Germany. Things here are finally settling down. I moved in with Dale, which has been great. He's been so supportive and patient...
Meemaw: Could you play another song?
Dale: I'm working on this song.
Meemaw: My last nerve is what you're working on.
Dale: Well, you got to practice if you want to get good.
Meemaw: For what? You're 74. You gonna play that song in hell?
Dale: Look, this is my house, and in my house, I play the guitar.
Meemaw: I thought you said your house was my house.
Dale: And in your house, there's a guy who plays the guitar, and he's getting pretty doggone good.

Georgie: Guide's here. Mmm. Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett. What does she see in him?
George: Women love musicians.
Georgie: Man, I got to learn to play guitar.
Mandy: Why?
Georgie: So your love for me will deepen?
George: Nice save, Romeo.

Mary: [v.o.] Dear George, I really loved your last letter. Who would have thought that I would have a love affair in Germany and that it would be with you. I miss you all so much, but it sounds like everyone is doing great. By the way, Missy's new friend Taylor, is that a boy or a girl?
George: Missy!

George: [v.o.] I've included some Polaroids of your granddaughter and your hot American boy toy.

George: [v.o.] It's a different world, Mare. I'm proud of Missy for keeping an open mind, and, shoot, I'm proud of myself.
[As Missy breaks away from making out with Taylor:]
Missy: By the way, I told my dad you're gay.
Taylor: Okay. [they resume kissing]

Dale: Hey. Have you seen my guitar?
Meemaw: No. Why?
Dale: I could've sworn I left it in the bedroom and now I can't find it anywhere.
Meemaw: That's weird.
Dale: Did you hide it?
Meemaw: I can't believe you would accuse me of such a thing.
Dale: Did you?
Meemaw: Did I what?
Dale: Hide my guitar.
Meemaw: [sings] ♪ Because you're mine ♪ ♪ I lost my mind. ♪

Dale: Well, give it back.
Meemaw: Only under certain conditions.
Dale: That guitar has been here way longer than you have.
Meemaw: You want to see it again?
Dale: What conditions?
Meemaw: First of all, if I'm out of the house, you can play it all day long.
Dale: That's reasonable.
Meemaw: I'm a reasonable lady. Number two: You cannot play the same song for more than five minutes.
Dale: No, no, no, no. That's not how practice works. Repetition is the key to mastery.
Meemaw: Ten minutes.
Dale: Deal.
Meemaw: It's in the closet behind the rain coats.
Dale: Well, thank you. [plays guitar and sings] ♪ Because you're mine ♪
Meemaw: Hold on, let me get my egg timer.

Sheldon: Auf wiedersehen.
Mary: Where you going?
Sheldon: Library. [whispers] In Frankfurt.
Mary: Have fun.
Adult Sheldon: As much as I hated lying, I loved trains just a little bit more.
