704. Ants on a Log and a Cheating Winker
March 7, 2024After returning from Germany, Sheldon and Mary struggle to adjust to life back home. Mary feels unnecessary since Missy has taken on more responsibilities around the house. Meanwhile, Sheldon feels crowded out at home with Georgie and Mandy living there, so he seeks refuge in his college dorm room.
Quote from Mary
Mary: Can I help with anything?
Missy: Nope, just enjoy your breakfast.
Mary: Thank you. Hey, maybe we can spend the day together.
Missy: That sounds nice, but I promised Taylor I'd help him buy some back-to-school clothes.
Mary: Oh, yeah, Taylor. When do I get to meet him?
Missy: He's just a friend, Mom. Don't be weird.
Mary: I wasn't being weird.
Quote from Sheldon
[Sheldon groans as he turns the bathroom doorknob and realizes it's locked. He knocks on the door.]
Georgie: [o.s.] What?
Sheldon: I need to use the bathroom.
Georgie: Well, too bad, it's my turn. Check the schedule.
Sheldon: I don't see a schedule.
Georgie: Look on the fridge.
[Sheldon dashes back to the kitchen and looks at the fridge]
Sheldon: Mmm. He's right, it's his turn. This is going to be close.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Anyways, how are you doing? It must feel good to be home.
Mary: [nods] Yeah. I guess.
Meemaw: What's wrong?
Mary: Well, they have everything running pretty smooth without me, so... feeling a little displaced.
Meemaw: Hmm, a little displaced.
Mary: Mm-hmm.
Meemaw: 'Cause your home, which was not blown away in the tornado, is running smooth.
Mary: Oh, no, I didn't mean... [sighs] You know what I mean.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Go on, keep running! Y'all look like you haven't moved all summer! Come on! Lopez, what, are you taking a break out there?
Coach Wilkins: I think he's throwing up, Coach.
George: Good stuff, Lopez!
Quote from George Sr.
George: That's a nice surprise.
Mary: Well, I just thought I'd come hang out, watch you turn this ragtag bunch of kids into state champs.
Coach Wilkins: George, you didn't tell me Germany made her funny.
George: Hey, I think we got a real shot this year. Lopez, what the hell did you eat?
Quote from Coach Wilkins
Coach Wilkins: What you got there, Mary?
Mary: Oh, I made some snacks for the team.
George: Oh, did you bring anything for the coaches?
Mary: Just a little sugar.
George: Ooh. [they kiss] [chuckles] So, we over the jet lag?
Mary: I think so.
Coach Wilkins: Okay, now I'm gonna puke.
George: Grow up.
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: I returned home from Germany to a family which no longer cherished me. But I knew somewhere I was still valued, where I was still the center of attention. And, most importantly, where I had my own bathroom.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: What are you working on?
Evan: Uh, I'm writing a Pascal compiler for an alpha processor.
Sheldon: I don't understand.
Evan: Uh... [sighs] Here. [hands Sheldon a coding book]
Sheldon: Thanks. [sits down and reads]
Evan: What's your name?
Sheldon: Do you mind? I'm reading.
Evan: Okay.
Quote from Sheldon
Evan: So... no video games?
Sheldon: Star Fire?
Evan: Hasn't even been released yet. I'm a beta tester.
Sheldon: Oh, my.
Adult Sheldon: I didn't know his name or where he was from, but he was my new best friend.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Mary, sit with me. Yeah. Oh, honey, it's- it's been so good having you back.
Mary: Oh, thank you. Oh. You know, when I was in Germany, I was thinking we should do more...
George: Hold that thought. Thing is, these practices aren't meant to be enjoyed. They're meant to be endured, survived. Hated, actually.
Mary: That sounds terrible.
George: Uh, no. It's a good thing because then they take that hate and they unleash it on the other team.
Mary: Sounds like you're turning them into monsters.
George: There you go, and monsters don't have team moms. Let me help you get this crap in the car.
Quote from Mary
Mary: Honey? You okay?
Missy: [o.s.] Go away.
Mary: All right, well, I'm here if you want to talk.
Missy: [opens door] Taylor broke up with me.
Mary: Oh, baby. Oh. Oh... [hugs Missy]
Missy: Please don't tell Dad. He didn't know we were going out.
Mary: Of course. It's none of his business.
Missy: I'm glad you're back.
Mary: Me, too. Do you want to tell me what happened?
Missy: Mm-hmm. [both go into Missy's room]
