607. A Tougher Nut and a Note on File
November 10, 2022After Missy sells a comic book which Sheldon was desperate to obtain, he has the idea of a searchable database of comic book inventory. Meanwhile, Georgie and Mandy unexpectedly run into her parents, Jim and Audrey.
Quote from George Sr.
Mary: So, Jim, your daughter is just lovely.
Jim: Oh, thanks. And, uh, your son seems... brave.
George: Brave, dumb, it's a coin toss.
Quote from Mary
Jim: Well, Mandy's not gonna apologize to her mom, and her mom's not gonna apologize to her, so I got to figure out some way to broker the peace.
Mary: Maybe we could have everyone over here for dinner.
George: Mary, when has that ever worked?
Mary: Food is healing, George. You should know.
George: Hey.
Mary: What? I'm just lightening the mood.
Quote from President Hagemeyer
President Hagemeyer: So, our next step is we get legal involved and start drawing up the contracts.
Sheldon: Shouldn't we build a working prototype first to prove it's viable?
President Hagemeyer: Well, do you think it's viable?
Sheldon: I do.
President Hagemeyer: Well, that's good enough for me. I'll call legal.
Sheldon: Wait, what should I do?
President Hagemeyer: Uh... Here's a dollar. Go get yourself a Yoo-hoo on me.
Sheldon: All right. [exits] [Hagemeyer picks up the phone]
Quote from Dr. Linkletter
Sheldon: Ooh, I got a response. Someone named RedWolf has the comic I'm looking for.
Dr. Linkletter: Oh, joy.
Sheldon: Oh, dear. Someone named Sucka MC just offered to buy it.
Dr. Linkletter: Riveting.
Sheldon: RedWolf sold it. This is a disaster.
Dr. Linkletter: That's too bad. Move.
Sheldon: [groan] These message boards are so frustrating. You have to post what you're looking for, then hope someone responds, and then hope you see the reply before they sell it to someone named Sucka MC.
Dr. Linkletter: Oh, you're frustrated? I'm sorry. I can only imagine what that feels like.
Quote from George Jr.
Mandy: This is nice.
Georgie: Yep. But it's not a date. Just dinner.
Mandy: Right.
Georgie: For two people having a baby.
Mandy: Georgie...
Georgie: Who recently spent a night of lovemaking together.
Mandy: Please stop.
Georgie: I just want to know what we're doing here.
Mandy: We're having dinner, and I'm ordering two desserts. Don't complicate it.
Quote from Mandy
Mandy: Oh, no.
Georgie: What?
Mandy: My parents.
Georgie: Cool. Should we say hi?
Mandy: We should run.
[When Mandy's father, Jim, notices Mandy, he points her out to his wife, Audrey. Mandy gives a slight wave, which her father returns. Audrey does not look impressed. Georgie decides to wave, too.]
Mandy: Oh, just stop it.
Quote from Missy
Sheldon: What do you mean, you sold it?
Missy: Somebody gave me money, and I gave them the comic book. That's kind of how things work here.
Quote from Sheldon
Nathan: [answers phone] Hello?
Sheldon: Hello, Nathan. Sheldon Cooper.
Nathan: Oh, hey. How's it going?
Sheldon: Terrible, thank you for asking. I understand that you recently purchased Doom Patrol Suicide Squad Special Issue #1 from King Kong Comics.
Nathan: Yeah, I've been trying to track it down forever.
Sheldon: Me too. They were supposed to hold it for me. I had a note on file.
Nathan: The girl there didn't say anything.
Sheldon: That "girl there" is my sister, and she should have because I had a note on file.
Nathan: Your sister works there? That's so cool.
Sheldon: If it was cool, I would have Doom Patrol Suicide Squad Special Issue #1.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: [on the phone] Let me buy it from you.
Nathan: Ooh. Sorry, little man. No can do.
Sheldon: Please, it's the only thing I need to complete my collection.
Nathan: I'll tell you what, you know Secret Wars #8?
Sheldon: When Spider-Man receives his black costume? Yeah, I'm familiar.
Nathan: Yeah, well, I need it to complete my collection. Find it and Suicide Squad is yours.
Sheldon: You got it.
Nathan: Ciao.
Quote from George Jr.
Georgie: Hey, Mr. McAllister, remember me?
Jim: You're kind of hard to forget.
Georgie: Thank you.
Quote from George Jr.
Georgie: You know, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. My mom got pregnant with me before she and my dad got married.
Audrey: So you're gonna marry my daughter?
Georgie: Well, if she'd stop saying "No."
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: Missy, I need to speak with your manager.
Missy: I didn't mean to sell your stupid comic book.
Sheldon: It's not about that, although I'm still upset about that, and will be for as long as I live.
Missy: Then why do you need to talk to him for?
Sheldon: I have a business proposal. It touches on the burgeoning field of informatics and could revolutionize...
Missy: Nigel!
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: So if you let me build a searchable database of all your titles, then theoretically, anyone in the world can see your inventory.
Nigel: That sounds all right.
Sheldon: All right? This is revolutionary. Other comic book stores will follow suit, and someday, if you want to find Doom Patrol and Suicide Squad Special Issue #1, then all you'll have to do is type it in.
Nigel: I just sold one of those.
Sheldon: Despite the note on file, but that's water under the bridge.
Quote from Sheldon
Nigel: So you're gonna input my whole inventory free of charge?
Sheldon: Yes.
Nigel: Well, can you do it at night so you're not in the way?
Sheldon: My bedtime is 9:30, so that's a solid two hours.
Nigel: Well, there's a lot of comics here. How long is this gonna take?
Sheldon: This is quite the undertaking. Would you like to help?
Nigel: You got it. Missy, you're working late tonight.
Missy: [sighs] Freaking Sheldon.
