November 15, 2018Sheldon takes a psychology class and is given an assignment to study his family over the Thanksgiving holiday. A disagreement breaks out between Mary and George after he considers uprooting the family and taking a job in Oklahoma.
Quote from Mary
Mary: I'm thankful to be surrounded by my loving family.
Missy: What about that guy?
Mary: That guy- Dr. Sturgis Is part of our extended family.
Dr. John Sturgis: Mm, thank you.
Mary: And I'm also thankful for this warm and comfy home that God has blessed us with and this great neighborhood with my mom living right across the street, and of course our excellent school system that provides our children with a world-class education.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Okay, my turn. Um, I am so thankful to be able to watch my grandchildren grow up.
And I can't even tell you how much it means to me that y'all live right across the street.
And if y'all weren't, I would just be heartbroken. And not just heartbroken. Crestfallen and chagrined. And, uh, I'm also thankful for my health, that that mole on my hip turned out to be nothing, and, uh, I'm very thankful for John here, who has brought so much happiness to me.
That's it for me.
Quote from Missy
Mary: George?
George: Well, I'm thankful to share Thanksgiving dinner with my family, of course. I'm also thankful for this fine country we live in and all the opportunities it provides us. Especially when those opportunities come once in a lifetime and require taking a small risk and believing in one another.
Mary: We're really gonna do this now?
George: Hey, you started it with all that school system crap.
Mary: I only did that because you've been trying to twist the kids' heads around.
George: All right, who talked?
Mary: Who do you think?
George: Missy.
Missy: Yup.
Quote from Meemaw
George: Well, it doesn't matter because you obviously went to your mother and made her your stalking horse.
Meemaw: Of course she went to me. Move to Oklahoma, what's wrong with you?
Georgie: Wait, we're moving to Oklahoma?
Missy: I thought Texans don't like Oklahoma.
Meemaw: You're damn right we don't.
Dr. John Sturgis: What's wrong with Oklahoma?
Meemaw: I'll tell you later.
Quote from Missy
Meemaw: Everybody's going to Meemaw's. Come on.
Missy: It's not like we haven't heard them fight before.
Meemaw: Just keep moving.
Quote from Missy
Sheldon: Where's Dad?
Mary: He went to Oklahoma for that job interview.
Missy: I thought you put your foot down on that one.
Mary: Just keep eating your breakfast.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Very impressive. Not sure how you did it, but that is the least disgusting locker room I've ever been in.
Quote from George Sr.
George: I turned it down.
Mary: Why?
Missy: 'Cause you're afraid of Mom?
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: As a child, I never understood the sacrifices my father made for his family's happiness, which made me somewhat less compassionate than I should've been.
Sheldon: Yay. We're not moving.
