Quote from George Sr.
Georgie: Do I really got to sit through two graduations?
Mary: Yes. It is a special day for your brother and your sister.
Sheldon: I'm giving the valedictorian speech.
Missy: And I'm singing "This Land Is Your Land" with a bunch of other kids.
Mary: And we are proud of you both equally.
George: [holding the phone] Guess what. The local news wants to do story on Sheldon being valedictorian [chuckles] Isn't that great? [Mary gestures towards Missy] What?
Quote from Dale
Dale: Cheers. How is it?
Meemaw: Good. Yours?
Dale: A little watery.
Quote from Missy
Kimberly: So act natural. We're just having a chat. I'm gonna ask y'all a few questions about Sheldon's high school graduation.
Missy: I'm graduating, also.
Kimberly: Really? You're graduating from high school, too?
Missy: No, elementary school.
Kimberly: Oh.
Missy: My class is singing "This Land Is Your Land." Want to hear it? [sings] This land is your land...
Quote from George Sr.
Mary: Here you go, baby.
Sheldon: I don't know if I can go to college next year.
George: Are you kidding me?!
Mary: George.
George: Buddy, I know you're upset. But are you kidding me?
Mary: Don't listen to him. There is no pressure. If you want to spend another year in high school, that is your decision.
Sheldon: I don't know. May I be excused?
Mary: Uh, of course. [looks at George Sr. as Sheldon walks off]
George: We support you, buddy!
Quote from Missy
Missy: I get it.
Sheldon: What do you get?
Missy: Why you don't want to go to college.
Sheldon: I doubt that you do.
Missy: You're scared everything's gonna be different and it'll be hard. And you're gonna miss the way that it was.
Sheldon: How do you know that?
Missy: 'Cause that's how I feel.
Sheldon: You're scared?
Missy: Yeah.
Sheldon: So what do we do?
Missy: I guess be scared and do it anyway.
Sheldon: Hmm. It's comforting to know that you feel the same way that I do.
Missy: That's why I said it, dumbass.

Adult Sheldon: The following day, I attended my sister's elementary school graduation. She didn't deliver a speech to me, but she did make eye contact while she sang "This Land Is Your Land."
Kids: [sing] From the Redwood Forest To the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me...
