Quote from George Sr.
Sheldon: I have the opportunity to participate in a prestigious summer program at the University of Heidelberg.
Mary: Sheldon, I don't...
Sheldon: I know that you're probably gonna say that I'm too young or it's too far away, but please just hear me out.
George: He did bring us snacks.
Mary: Beer is not a snack.
Quote from Missy
Missy: If you want, I can rent you a rated-R movie. I'll even slip it in a Disney box.
Tonya: What do you have in mind?
Missy: Point Break. Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze?
Tonya: I like Swayze.
Missy: I like Keanu.
Tonya: Great, so I don't need to fight you.
Missy: All right, Point Break in a Bambi box coming right up.
Quote from George Sr.
Dr. John Sturgis: I understand your trepidation, but you were also nervous about sending him here, and that turned out fine.
Mary: I suppose, but Germany is just so far away.
George: Well, maybe it'd be good for him. You know... a little independence, nobody babying him. [off Mary's look] What? Germans are a tough-love people.
Quote from Mary
Mary: Hold on, are you saying Sheldon would be going to Germany by himself?
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, one of you could go with him.
George: And the university would cover our expenses as well?
Dr. John Sturgis: [laughs] The university isn't gonna pay for any of it.
George: Okay, meeting adjourned.
Dr. John Sturgis: Great. Well, let me know if there's anything else I can, uh, help you with.
Mary: Actually there is. Um... Would you tell Sheldon that he's not going?
Quote from Sheldon
Instructor: [on tape] "When is the next train?" Wann fährt der nächste Zug?
Sheldon: Wann fährt der nächste Zug? [scoffs] How is this not a Romance language?
Mary: [knocks] Shelly?
Sheldon: Uh, eintreten. That's German for "enter".
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: I've got a bicycle pump if you want to top off your donut.
Dale: No, actually, I'm experiencing a little too much bounce.
Quote from George Jr.
Meemaw: Did you get a license plate?
Georgie: No.
Meemaw: How about the color?
Georgie: Well, the tape's in black and white. But it was not black and it was not white.
Meemaw: So the getaway car is a color.
Georgie: Or grey.
Dale: Okay. Not quite a smoking gun, but at least we know the perp drove a truck.
Meemaw: Excuse me. Could I have everybody's attention for just a minute? Show of hands, who here owns a truck? [all hands go up]
Georgie: It ain't my fault we live in Texas.
Quote from Mandy
Georgie: Where's CeeCee?
Mandy: Oh, she went out with friends.
Georgie: Is that nice?
Mandy: Sorry.
Quote from Sheldon
Mary: Shelly. It's 6:00 in the morning. What are you doing?
Sheldon: Having a yard sale, and the serious buyers start early so I need to get a move on.
Mary: Is that my good china?
Sheldon: Oh, it's just one setting, and if I'm in Germany, you'll never miss it.
Mary: Give me that.
Sheldon: Fine. But I am selling my trains, my comic books and the first chapter of my autobiography. It's in utero. You do not come off well.
Quote from Sheldon
Bob: Ten dollars? I'll give you five.
Sheldon: Sir, that's a Lionel MPC-era O Gauge that I've had since I was six. You're lucky it's only ten.
Bob: Fine. Ten.
Sheldon: Uh, uh, I meant $20.
Bob: T-The tag says ten.
Sheldon: And now it's a thousand. Give that back. Have a nice day.
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: Unfortunately, my yard sale was a bust, and my dream of spending the summer in Germany was fading. On the bright side, I did get to keep all my trains. And people say I'm not emotionally complex.
Quote from Missy
Missy: What are you doing?
Tonya: Sneaking out. Come on.
Missy: Aren't you afraid you're gonna get caught?
Tonya: What are they gonna do, send me to a crappier town?
Missy: Good point. So, what's the plan?
Tonya: Got half a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of cooking sherry.
Missy: Let me get dressed.
Quote from Dale
Dale: What's that?
Georgie: What?
Dale: Two people sneaking around out there.
Georgie: What do we do?
Dale: I don't know.
Georgie: Well, should I turn the lights off?
Dale: Yeah, good. [Georgie turns the lights off] Now, wait a minute, if the lights are off, they're gonna think nobody's home.
Georgie: Oh, right. [Georgie turns the lights back on] But now they can see us.
Dale: Right. Off.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Wade, what the hell are you doing here? We're not open yet.
