Sheldon: I can relate. A young lady brought chaos into my life as well today.
Missy: What happened?
Sheldon: Paige was visiting the university and got mad that I have college friends and she doesn't.
George: You're drunk, Sheldon has friends. This a crazy-ass dinner.

Sheldon: Can you two help me with my homework?
George: Did I hear him right?
Missy: Yeah, he asked for help.
George: With his schoolwork?
Missy: Yep.
George: How long have you known him?
Missy: All my life.
George: Has he ever asked for help?
Missy: No.
Sheldon: Hello.

George: "Chicken boo-eh-lon"? What does that even mean?
Mary: Bouillon. It's the tiny cubes that turn into soup.
George: So, the soup aisle?
Mary: There you go.

George: Well, you got Germany coming up. Makes sense to be a little nervous.
Sheldon: That does make sense.
George: Yeah. Remember how scared you got when we flew to Pasadena? [chuckles softly] But we got through it. Together.
Sheldon: We did.
George: Germany's way further than that. Your mom's never been on a flight that long before. I have. When I was in the Army. Fighting for our country.
Sheldon: Weren't you in the motor pool?
George: I'm just saying, if your mom gets nervous, you might be the one calming her down.
Sheldon: But that's what she does for me.
George: Well, I'm sure she'll do her best. But if she can't, there's lots of strangers on the plane. You can hold one of their hands.

Mary: We were both here and she snuck out. What's gonna stop her from running wild if it's just one of us?
George: What, so you're saying neither of us should go to Germany?
Mary: [exhales] I don't know. I don't want to punish Sheldon, but I'm worried about Missy.
George: I am, too. [Mary sighs] But I think you should go.
Mary: You do?
George: I got the summer off. My full-time job can be keeping her in line.
Mary: You sure you're up for that?
George: Mary, I'm a football coach. I can handle a 13-year-old girl.
Adult Sheldon: Missy snuck out 32 times that summer, and got her belly button pierced. The poor guy had no idea.

Georgie: Actually, maybe Meemaw can take Sheldon's room, and Mandy and I can take Mom and Dad's room with the bigger bed.
George: Really? You want to sleep on the mattress you were conceived on?
Mandy: Ew.
Missy: Ew.
Mandy: Wait, you've had the same mattress for 18 years?
George: There's nothing wrong with it. It's a Sealy.

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.

Meemaw: An "A"? That's nice, sweetie.
Missy: It's Medford from the year I was born.
Sheldon: Aren't we going a little overboard with this "A" thing?
George: Hey, some of us never got an "A."
Mary: Really? Not even one?
Meemaw: If only they graded lunch.
George: I'll have you know, I love my body. [Meemaw chuckles]

Mrs. Jameson: And of course, some of our alumni include John Kennedy, Franklin Roosevelt, newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
George: That's an awful lot of Democrats.
[cut to George and Mary wearing Caltech clothing with Mr. Stevens:]
George: Although Harvard did have some impressive alumni.
Mary: Bunch of presidents and that gal on the court.
George: Mm-hmm.

George: What's happening?
Mary: We are leaving for the bluebonnet picture at 4:00. Don't be late.
George: Wouldn't miss it. Hey, you want a ride to school?
Missy: Nah, I'll take the bus.
George: Suit yourself. See y'all later.
[Sheldon doesn't look up from his bowl of cereal.]
Mary: Four o'clock.
[George nods and leaves]

George: You want to explain yourself?
Sheldon: I'd rather just go to bed, since I have to be up in a few hours anyway.
George: Look, I understand you're tired, but that is no reason for you-
Sheldon: I'm not just tired. I'm exhausted. Everything hurts. I get up in the morning to do this job I don't even like. And I'm doing it just for the money, and it's not even a lot of money. I keep trying harder and harder, and it doesn't even make a difference. So if you're going to yell at me or punish me, let's just get it over with.
George: I'm not gonna punish you.
Sheldon: Why not? I deserve it.
George: Let me tell you about my day. I got yelled at by the principal for benching a linebacker who's flunking English. Then I got yelled at even more by the kid's parents. Then I had to break up a fight in the locker room. Got elbowed in the neck.
Sheldon: That's a rough day.
George: That was all before 10:00 a.m. So I get what you're going through. But you'll notice, I didn't come home and take it out on you.
Sheldon: No, you didn't.
George: I want you to get back in there, apologize to everyone, and finish your dinner.
Sheldon: Yes, sir.

George: Let's go for it.
Coach Wilkins: Why? We got plenty of time.
George: I know. Still want to go for it.
Coach Wilkins: We're on the 12-yard line. Everybody know you punt.
George: Why does everybody knowing something make it right?

Mary: I hope that doesn't wake up the kids.
George: Should I go over there and say something?
Mary: I think you should.
George: I was bluffin'. Don't make me put my socks back on.

Sheldon: Dad, are you sad that you got fired?
George: Mostly angry. But, yeah, maybe a little sad.
