George Jr.: Where's Meemaw?
George Sr.: Not here tonight.
George Jr.: Why?
Sheldon: As I understand it, now that Dr. Sturgis is back from the hospital, he and Meemaw are figuring out how their relationship is going to work.
Missy: What does that mean?
George Jr.: Sounds like she dumped him.
George Sr.: Actually, he's the one-
Mary: Sheldon, didn't you want to talk about science stuff?
Sheldon: Yes.
Mary: Good. Do that right now.

[As Missy finds Dr. Sturgis at the dinner table]
Missy: Really? This again?
Mary: Just sit.

Ira Rosenbloom: I got to tell you, this is an unexpected surprise.
Meemaw: Here's to surprises.
Ira Rosenbloom: 'Cause last I heard, you and John were still going out.
Meemaw: Well, now I'm not, and I'm here with you, so let's not talk about him.
Ira Rosenbloom: Ooh. Sounds like this breakup is a little fresh.
Meemaw: Yeah, it was pretty recent.
Ira Rosenbloom: What, like, a week? Month?
Meemaw: Literally as I was calling you.
Ira Rosenbloom: Well, I'm glad that I was the first person that came to mind.
Meemaw: [chuckles] Actually, you were his idea.
Ira Rosenbloom: Still glad.

Dr. John Sturgis: Well, here's a pineapple. It's a symbol of hospitality dating back to the 1700s.
Mary: Thank you. How tropical.
Sheldon: Dr. Sturgis, hello!
Dr. John Sturgis: Hi!
Sheldon: Ooh. Did you know the pineapple is a symbol of hospitality?
Mary: As a matter of fact, I did.
Dr. John Sturgis: You're welcome!

Dr. John Sturgis: Hello!
Mary: Come in.
Dr. John Sturgis: So, uh, Connie is, uh, okay with my being here?
Mary: Don't worry about it or, you know, mention it.

Sheldon: Mom, will Dr. Sturgis be coming over again?
Mary: Oh. Um, I don't know.
Sheldon: He should. We had so much fun talking about the mental hospital, we barely got to talk about science.
Mary: Well, I don't know what his plans are.
Sheldon: Is Meemaw coming for dinner tonight?
Mary: No. She is busy.
Sheldon: With Dr. Sturgis? Maybe I can join them. All my fun facts make me a welcome addition to any dinner date.

Mary: So, are you gonna go out with Ira?
Meemaw: Well, I don't know why not.
Mary: Is that really what you want?
Meemaw: Well, I'm sure as hell not gonna sit home by myself while I try and figure it out.
Mary: Doesn't sound like you're being nice to Ira.
George Sr.: She's not nice. Been saying it for years.

Meemaw: Can you believe it?
Mary: It sounds like he has your best interests at heart.
Meemaw: Men don't break up with me. I do the breaking up.
George Sr.: Well, I think it's nice that you can still experience new things at your age.
Meemaw: Keep it up, and you won't get to my age.

Ira Rosenbloom: [answering phone] Rosenbloom's Fine Furniture. Ira speaking.
Meemaw: Hello, Ira. It's Connie Tucker.
Ira Rosenbloom: Connie. Oh, my gosh. How are you?
Meemaw: He wants to know how I am.
Dr. John Sturgis: Tell him.
Meemaw: I'll call you back.

Meemaw: Do you- I- Do you mean you-you really don't want to see me anymore? [stammers] Don't I get a say in that?
Dr. John Sturgis: Um... No.
Meemaw: Really? I-I kind of think I do.
Dr. John Sturgis: Connie, if I'm single and have another episode, it only hurts me. If we're together, that hurts you, and I can't do that again.
Meemaw: I have been waiting for you this whole time.
Dr. John Sturgis: Just more proof that you're a wonderful woman and you deserve someone you can count on.
Meemaw: Ugh!
Dr. John Sturgis: How about Ira from the furniture store? He's a catch.
Meemaw: Now you're gonna play matchmaker for me?
Dr. John Sturgis: I suppose I am.
Meemaw: You realize I could call him right now.
Dr. John Sturgis: I think you should.
Meemaw: You better mean it, 'cause I'll do it.
Dr. John Sturgis: No time like the present.
Meemaw: I'm doing it. I'm dialing.
Dr. John Sturgis: Great.
Meemaw: It's ringing.
Dr. John Sturgis: Tell him I said hi.

Dr. John Sturgis: Now that we're talking about this, um, we've never really discussed the status of our relationship.
Meemaw: Don't you worry. As far as I'm concerned, we just pick up right where we left off.
Dr. John Sturgis: That means a lot. But, um I think it's for the best if we don't.
Meemaw: What?
Dr. John Sturgis: I hope we can still be friends. But, um, I don't think we should be in a romantic relationship anymore.
Meemaw: Are you crazy? I mean, poor choice of words, but are you crazy?!

George Jr.: I got another one. In The Shining, Jack Nicholson goes nuts and chases people around with an ax-
Meemaw: One question each.
George Jr.: Dang it.

Missy: How did you know when you were all better?
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, it's not like a cold, where you have it and then you don't. But I've learned skills that, uh, help me to manage my mental health.
Missy: Well, that went over my head.

George Jr.: I got one.
Meemaw: Here we go.
George Jr.: Did they lock you up in a room?
Dr. John Sturgis: I wasn't able to leave the hospital without being discharged, but I was free to walk the grounds.

Sheldon: Why wasn't I allowed to visit you?
Dr. John Sturgis: Some of the other patients there were very unwell, and I didn't want you to be disturbed by their behavior.

Dr. John Sturgis: It's just so wonderful to see you all again.
Mary: We've been looking forward to it.
Sheldon: We sure have. [whispering] One Mississippi, two Mississippi.
Dr. John Sturgis: Uh, why are you counting?
Mary: You know Shelly. He loves his numbers.

Dr. John Sturgis: It's so good to see you.
Sheldon: I don't normally do this, but put her there.
Dr. John Sturgis: No mitten. I'm honored.

Sheldon: Meemaw and Dr. Sturgis are out front. They're walking up the path. They see me. I'm waving. They waved back. They're close to the door. Even closer. Almost there. Door... [doorbell rings] Bell!

Missy: What?
Sheldon: Hey, it works. When I hit three Mississippis, she noticed.
George Sr.: See?
George Jr.: Told you.

Mary: Just be on your best behavior. And if you're not sure if you should say something, do not say it.
