Adult Sheldon: And of course, I thought about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan...
Spock: I have been, and always shall be, your friend.
Adult Sheldon: ...and how upset I was over the death of Spock.
Spock: Live long... and prosper.
Missy: What are you doing?
Sheldon: Thinking about Star Trek.
Missy: What is wrong with you? Our dad just died.
Adult Sheldon: And some people express their grief by lashing out.

Billy Sparks: I brought you food.
Missy: Thanks, but I'm not hungry.
Billy Sparks: I'm real sorry. Your dad was always nice to me.
Missy: He liked you.
Billy Sparks: Now you and I have something in common.
Missy: What's that?
Billy Sparks: My dad's gone, too.
Missy: Your dad's in New Jersey.
Billy Sparks: Yeah, but he's not coming back.
Missy: Sorry.
Billy Sparks: Want a hug?
Missy: No.
Billy Sparks: Want a kiss?
Missy: No!
Billy Sparks: Yeah, me neither.

Georgie: I'm here to pick up a suit for Cooper.
Patricia: Oh, sure. George Cooper?
Georgie: Yes, ma'am.
Patricia: Looks a little big for you.
Georgie: [chuckles] It's my dad's.
Patricia: Nice of you to pick it up for him. That'll be eight dollars.

Meemaw: Aren't y'all sweet to come?
Dr. John Sturgis: Of course. I saw Sheldon the other day. He wouldn't speak to me. Is he okay?
Mary: He's not really talking to anybody.
Dr. Linkletter: We'll keep him company.
Dr. John Sturgis: I'll, uh, try to distract him by telling him the latest news about leptons.
Meemaw: He'll like that. He's crazy about the leptons.
Dr. John Sturgis: Who isn't?

Mr. Givens: How'd you know George?
Brenda Sparks: Next-door neighbor.
Mr. Givens: Oh. So, you knew him well?
Brenda Sparks: A little. How about you?
Mr. Givens: I taught Sheldon science.
Brenda Sparks: Oh, I'm sorry.
Mr. Givens: Thank you.
Brenda Sparks: I'm single.
Mr. Givens: Same.

Georgie: [sniffled] You don't need to worry. I've got everything under control. [breathes deeply] Won't let you down, Dad. [sniffles]

Pastor Jeff: If there's any pictures of George you'd like to display at the ceremony, I'll need to get those.
Mary: Oh, um...
Georgie: Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it.
Pastor Jeff: Did George have a favorite hymn or song that might be played?
Georgie: He did always play "Born to Be Wild" when the team ran out on the field.
Pastor Jeff: Not sure our organist knows that one.
Meemaw: I can bring a boom box.
Pastor Jeff: We'll call that plan B.

Coach Wilkins: I cleaned out George's desk. Uh, thought you might like his stuff.
Mary: Thanks.
Coach Wilkins: I just wanted you to know that if there's anything that you or the kids need... [crying] I'm here for y'all.
Mary: Oh, Wayne.
Coach Wilkins: I mean it. Anything that you need.
Mary: Thank you. [hugs Wayne] I appreciate that. [Wayne sobs] You doing okay?
Coach Wilkins: Oh, yeah, yeah. Don't worry about me. [sobs]
Mary: Okay. Let me get you a tissue.

Audrey: Mary. We're so sorry.
Mary: Thank you.
Jim: Well, I didn't know him long, but, uh, I loved that guy.
Georgie: [nods] He felt like y'all were long-lost friends.
Jim: [voice breaking] Oh, here we go.
Mandy: Come on, let's get you some Kleenex.

Coach Wilkins: [sobs]
Principal Petersen: Okay. Okay. Uh, what Wayne here is trying to say, uh, is, uh, George was a hell of a coach. He was a hell of a friend. And we're gonna miss him a hell of a lot. [microphone feedback]
Coach Wilkins: Thank you.

[fantasy:]
George: See y'all later.
Mary: 4 o'clock.
Sheldon: Dad, wait.
George: Yeah?
Sheldon: Bye.
George: Bye, son. [nods and exits]

Mary: I can't help feeling like something's wrong with me.
Meemaw: What are you talking about?
Mary: [sighs] I know it doesn't make sense, but... I am mad at him for leaving me.
Meemaw: Yeah, I get that.
Mary: You do?
Meemaw: I was mad at your daddy when he passed.
Mary: How did you get over it?
Meemaw: Time. And Dale helps. Don't tell him, please.
Mary: I'm happy you found each other.
Meemaw: You're still young, honey.
Mary: No. [clears throat] That's it for me. I'm done.

Mary: Shelly? You okay?
Missy: He's probably thinking about stupid Star Trek stuff.
Sheldon: I was thinking about alternate realities branching off from a single decision point. Only one of them was about Star Trek.
Missy: We're talking about Dad's funeral. Why don't you care?
Sheldon: The details of the funeral are irrelevant. They won't change anything.
Missy: I can't wait for yours.
Georgie: Hey, that's enough out of you two.
Missy: You're not Dad. You don't tell us what to do.
Meemaw: Well, I will, and that's enough!
Pastor Jeff: It's okay. It's healthy for everyone to let their feelings out.
Missy: Oh, shut up, Jeff.
Mary: Missy! Go to your room.
Missy: [emotional] How about I just go?

Adult Sheldon: Eventually I realized there was a better way to deal with grief: avoid it completely.
Dr. John Sturgis: Sheldon.
Sheldon: Oh, hello.
Dr. John Sturgis: I just wanted to tell you how sorry...
Sheldon: No, thank you.
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, if there's anything you need...
Sheldon: Nope.

Mary: Sheldon, they're gonna close the casket. If you want to say goodbye to your dad... [Sheldon shakes his head]
