As Sheldon prepares to graduate from high school, he starts to question whether he is ready to go to college. Meanwhile, Dale tries to patch things up with Meemaw.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Sheldon, I'm not driving you home. I got practice in minutes.
Sheldon: Then call Mom and tell her to bring them to me.
George: She's working, too.
Sheldon: But I need my goggles!
George: Then use the ones in class. And I don't want to hear about eyebrow lice.
Sheldon: The ones in class are too big for me. What if they fall off and something happens to my eyes? If I go blind, I'll need a Seeing Eye dog, and I'm scared of dogs.
George: Hey! Is this how you plan on acting when you get to college?
Sheldon: No.
George: Good, 'cause you're gonna need to handle stuff like this on your own.
Sheldon: I can handle it.
George: I hope so.
Quote from George Jr.
Mary: Bless us, Lord, for the food we are about to receive, and bless the hands that prepared it. And thank you for Georgie getting his job back. Amen.
All: Amen.
George: That was nice of Dale.
Georgie: I know. He even forgave me for egging his store.
Missy: You went egging without me?
Mary: Georgie Cooper!
Georgie: Dale already forgave me, and God has to. You can't get mad.
Missy: Ha. Burn.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: I want to tell you how much I appreciate you giving Georgie his job back.
Dale: Well, I didn't do it just for you. It was the right thing to do. I even forgave him for egging the store.
Meemaw: [gasps] He egged your store? That rascal!
Dale: I know you did it, too.
Meemaw: Okay, I did.
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: The next day, the local news showed up to interview me and my family, which may sound impressive, but this is the same local news that covered a potato chip shaped like Texas.
Quote from Sheldon
Kimberly: Sheldon, tell us what you're gonna miss the most about high school.
Sheldon: Nothing.
Kimberly: Really? Not your teachers, your friends?
Sheldon: I only have one friend. And I don't think he's gonna miss me because he already found other people to have lunch with.
Mary: Oh, I'm sure he'll miss you.
Sheldon: And I said I'm okay with watching Professor Proton at night, but that'll never work. I get overtired... everybody knows that!
George: Maybe we could turn the camera off.
Sheldon: And the other day, I couldn't find my safety goggles and I freaked out in school, and my dad asked is this how I plan on acting when I get to college, and I said no, but it probably is because even though I'm smart, I'm just a little boy!
Kimberly: I think we have enough.
George: Cut.
Quote from Dale
Dale: Oh. Hold on. Hold on. Your chair, milady.
Meemaw: "Milady"? Where did that come from?
Dale: I don't know. My brain.
Meemaw: [laughs]
Quote from Dale
Waiter: Can I get y'all started with some drinks?
Meemaw: Yeah. Uh, margaritas?
Waiter: Mm-hmm.
Meemaw: Split a pitcher?
Dale: Mm, no, I think I'm okay.
Meemaw: More of a beer night?
Dale: No, not really. I'm gonna take a little break. I'll just stick with water.
Meemaw: Really?
Dale: Well, you know, I don't do my best thinking after I've been drinking. [laughs]
Quote from Dale
Dale: You go to church, don't you?
Meemaw: Yeah, when I'm not hungover.
Dale: Well, maybe I'll go with you sometime.
Meemaw: Really? You?
Dale: Yeah, I was thinking a little religion might do me some good.
Meemaw: Well, good for you. [chuckles] I was thinking it was a fajita night.
Dale: Your daughter runs a Bible study, doesn't she?
Meemaw: Uh-huh.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: [knocks three times] Mom? [knocks three times] Dad?
Mary: [o.s.] Yeah, baby? [Sheldon opens his parents' bedroom door]
Sheldon: I'm ready to graduate. Good night. [exits]
George: That's because I supported him.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Hello.
Dale: Thank you for seeing me.
Meemaw: You might not be so happy I did by the time we're done.
Quote from Meemaw
Dale: [sighs] I'm admitting I was wrong, and that's not something I do.
Meemaw: What do you want from me?
Dale: One more chance.
Meemaw: I don't know.
Dale: Oh, come on. I went to three stores to find these purple flowers.
Meemaw: They are pretty.
Dale: They're not as pretty as you.
Meemaw: [laughs] Oh, God.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: Safety pins, safety scissors, no safety goggles.
[cut to Sheldon looking under a student's desk:]
Sheldon: Did you happen to see a pair of safety goggles?
Ms. Ingram: Sheldon, we're in the middle of a test.
Sheldon: Sorry. [whispers] I can't give you the answer, but what you have is not even close.
Ms. Ingram: Out!
[cut to a girl crying in Principal Petersen's office:]
Principal Petersen: These things happen.
Girl: [sobs]
Principal Petersen: My mother had me when she was young.
Sheldon: [enters] Sorry to interrupt. I can't find my safety goggles.
Principal Petersen: Well, they're not here.
Sheldon: I have to find them. Nothing's more important than protection!
Girl: [sobs loudly]
Quote from George Jr.
Georgie: Thanks again for giving me another shot.
Dale: Oh, my pleasure. And I got something else for you.
[Dale removes an envelope from his drawer and hands it to Georgie. Georgie opens it and finds it stuffed full of cash.]
Georgie: Wow. Thank you, but why?
Dale: Well, I'm trying to get better at forgiving people.
Georgie: Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, 'cause I'm the one who egged your store last night.
Dale: That was you?
Georgie: Well, me and Meemaw.
Dale: Oh. It's okay. I forgive you.
Georgie: Cool. Thanks again for the money. [exits]
Dale: Mm, forgiving people sucks.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: [chuckles] Should I not get one, then?
Dale: No, no, you go ahead.
Meemaw: I don't want it to get weird.
Waiter: I can come back.
Dale: No, no. Hey, just bring her a margarita.
Meemaw: No, don't.
Dale: I insist.
Meemaw: I don't want one.
Dale: Yeah, you do.
Meemaw: It's getting weird.
Dale: Maybe come back.
Quote from Missy
Mary: Missy, how would you and Sheldon like a graduation party?
Sheldon: Why would Missy have a graduation party?
Missy: 'Cause I'm graduating elementary school.
Sheldon: That counts?
George: Of course it counts.
Sheldon: Yes, it's a big deal. She's going to a new school. New friends, new teachers.
Missy: Same clothes 'cause we're poor. [phone rings]
George: We're not poor.
Missy: So I can get new clothes?
George: We're not rich, either.
