    January 4, 2018

    When Principal Petersen thinks the school's curriculum is no longer challenging enough for Sheldon, he encourages Mary and George to consider sending Sheldon to an academy for gifted children in Dallas.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Ms. MacElroy.
Ms. MacElroy: What?
Sheldon: I'm wondering if you read the book you assigned to us, because I did.

Quote from Sheldon

Flora: Do you like string beans?
Sheldon: No. But I eat them.

Quote from Ms. Ingram

Ms. Ingram: I mean, why'd I bother becoming a teacher? He knows what I'm gonna say before I say it. Or I say it and look like a dumbbell.

Quote from Ms. Ingram

Principal Petersen: What's going on here?
Ms. MacElroy: You said he was going away.
Ms. Ingram: Liar.

Quote from Missy

Missy: You awake?
Sheldon: Yes.
Missy: Are you gonna miss me?
Sheldon: I haven't given it any thought.
Missy: Well, we're just lying here. Think about it.
Sheldon: I am used to you.
Missy: I'm used to you, too.
Sheldon: It's not the same as liking you.
Missy: No.
Sheldon: To me, you're like string beans. No one asks for them, no one wonders about them. They're just there on the plate.
Missy: But you eat them, right?
Sheldon: Yes.
Missy: You're gonna miss me.

Quote from Missy

Missy: You got my message! Hi-yah! [jumping across to Sheldon's bed]
Sheldon: No hugging! No hugging! [Missy laughing]

Quote from Principal Petersen

Mary: So you're saying he's being rude to his teachers?
George: That's unacceptable. I'll-I'll give him a talkin' to.
Principal Petersen: I don't know if I'd call him rude.
Mary: Well, put a word on it.
Principal Petersen: Rude, let's go with rude. Rude is good.

Quote from George Sr.

Meemaw: All I am saying is that this would be a great opportunity for Sheldon.
Mary: I know, you're right.
George: Whoa, she's right? I said the same thing in Petersen's office, you looked at me like I was an idiot. Yeah, that's the look.

Quote from George Sr.

George: Not sure about these uniforms. Kinda froufrou.

Quote from Mary

George: Oh, come on. You're making it out like they were some kind of monsters. Sheldon has his own room. There's books everywhere. Even has a big old backyard he won't play in.
Mary: Aren't you forgetting somethin'?
George: What?
Mary: The underground laboratory.
George: I think it's called a finished basement, honey.
Mary: I know what I saw.

Quote from Missy

Mary: "Nice people."
George: Then why did we leave him there?!
Mary: Because we love him and we want the best for him.
Missy: This is tense.

Quote from Adult Sheldon

Adult Sheldon: But, eventually, I did drift off, haunted by the memory, the three of us gathered around the piano singing hippie folk music.

Quote from George Sr.

Sheldon: Dad?
George: Yeah?
Sheldon: I'm glad you came to get me.
George: Me, too.
