President Hagemeyer: Speaking of which, can I get you a beer? Y- You're a Lone Star man, right?
George: Matter of fact, I am.
Mary: George.
George: She offered. I don't want to be rude.
Mary: It's 11:00 a.m.
President Hagemeyer: Well, you just let me know. We'll get you anything you want.
Mary: We're fine, thank you.

Mrs. Howard: I don't know why you'd carry something like this.
Mandy: People like it.
Georgie: I've seen it three times.
Mrs. Howard: Do you really want to bring your baby into a world where this is considered entertainment?
Mandy: Lady, why don't you let me worry about my baby and, uh, you worry about what your husband's watching.
Georgie: Easy, she's still a customer.
Mrs. Howard: Not anymore. And I'm gonna tell my prayer group not to come here either.
Mandy: [scoffs] Okay, you do that.

President Hagemeyer: All right, just hold on. This is good for the university. This isn't about everybody getting a piece of the pie.
Dr. Linkletter: Oh, really? In that contract, does she get a piece of the pie?
Ken: Uh...
President Hagemeyer: Don't answer that, attorney-client whatever.
Ken: Uh, technically my services are paid for by the uni...
President Hagemeyer: Shut up, Ken.

Dr. Linkletter: Linda, be reasonable.
President Hagemeyer: [chuckles] I am. After all the Sheldon I've put up with, I deserve this.
Dr. Linkletter: You deserve this? My office is basically his clubhouse.
President Hagemeyer: Okay, I tell you what I'll do. If Sheldon's okay with it, you're welcome to part of his cut.
Dr. Linkletter: That's not you doing anything.

George: Mr. Vance, thank you for taking the time to see us.
Leslie: Oh, no problem. You know, I don't ordinarily handle intellectual property contracts, I'm more of a slip-and-fall guy.
Mary: I have seen your face on those park bench ads.
Leslie: [chuckles] Oh, you fall in the park, this is the first thing you see.

George: So, as I said on the phone, our son invented something that his university's interested in, but we feel they might be trying to keep the lion's share for themselves.
Leslie: You really think it's gonna be worth something?
George: Well, university seems to think so. They want 90% of it.
Leslie: Oh, is that so? What's the invention?
Mary: We don't really understand it. [sighs]
George: Oh, you know, it's a computer... thing.
Leslie: Ah, adding machine and carbon paper got me this far.
Mary: Mm.

George: What... What am I smelling?
Leslie: Beef and broccoli. Chinese place downstairs.
George: Ooh, do they have good chop suey? I can never find good...
Mary: George.
George: You were saying?

Kimberly: Hi. I'm with Channel 7 news.
Meemaw: Can I help you?
Kimberly: A local pastor has put together a petition of citizens concerned about the vulgar content of your video store. Would you care to comment?
Meemaw: Damn straight I would. I want him to know...
Georgie: Give me. Give me.
Meemaw: No, give me that. I want...
Georgie: I can assure you there's nothing immoral or indecent going on here.

Dr. Linkletter: Sorry we're late.
President Hagemeyer: What are you doing here? And who's he?
Jerry: I'm his cousin.
Dr. Linkletter: And lawyer.
President Hagemeyer: Really, Grant?
Dr. Linkletter: Yeah, really.
Jerry: Let me talk for you. Yeah, really.

President Hagemeyer: It really doesn't make any difference because Sheldon agrees that this is in the best interest of everyone.
George: You said that?
Sheldon: Yes.
Dr. Linkletter: Hold on. Sheldon told me-
Nelson: Grant. [Dr. Linkletter whispers in Nelson's ear] Sheldon informed my client that their interests were aligned.
Mary: You told him that?
Sheldon: Yes.
Jerry: You told me he was on our side. Didn't you tell them that?
Sheldon: Yes.
President Hagemeyer: Which is it, Sheldon?
Dr. Linkletter: Yeah, Sheldon. Whose side are you on?
Mary: Shelly?
Sheldon: I don't know, and I don't care. I just want to build the database. Why can't this just be about the science? W-Why are you making it all about the money? This was supposed to be exciting, and you're ruining it.

Dr. Linkletter: I'm telling you, I can do it on my own.

Mary: So... why don't you take a little time and figure out what's gonna make you happy?
Sheldon: I will. Okay, I did.
Mary: Oh. All right. Well, what did you decide?
Sheldon: I'm cutting everybody out and doing this myself.
Mary: What?
Sheldon: I don't need the university and I don't need Dr. Linkletter.
Mary: How are you gonna pay for all this?
Sheldon: I'll find private investors. They can pay for it on the condition I'm left alone.
Mary: Are you sure you don't want to think about this a little more?
Sheldon: Perhaps you're right. Done. I'm good.
Mary: Where you going?
Sheldon: My dorm. I have some calls to make. Love you. [exits]
Mary: Love you, too.
