When George Sr. falls ill and Mary has to take him to the emergency room, Meemaw comes to babysit but has trouble calming the kids' nerves about the health of their father.
Quote from Meemaw
Missy: Is Daddy gonna be okay?
Meemaw: Oh, yeah. Your Pop-Pop used to have little chest pains all the time.
Sheldon: Didn't he die of a heart attack?
Meemaw: Well, for insurance purposes, yes.
Quote from George Jr.
Sheldon: Please slow down.
Georgie: I'm goin' eight miles an hour. A cow just passed us.
Quote from Pastor Jeff
Pastor Jeff: So what do you think the odds are that God exists?
Sheldon: I think they're zero. I believe in science.
Pastor Jeff: So you don't think science and religion can go hand in hand?
Sheldon: Science is facts, religion is faith. I prefer facts.
Pastor Jeff: I understand that. Here's a cool fact for ya. A lot of famous scientists believed in God. Isaac Newton. Albert Einstein. Even Charles Darwin.
Sheldon: So Darwin's right about God and wrong about evolution?
Pastor Jeff: Now you're gettin' it. Let's give it up for Sheldon, everybody. What a good sport.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: Ugh. I'm coming with you.
Georgie: Why are you wearin' my helmet?
Sheldon: I don't expect this to end well.
Georgie: And the pillows?
Sheldon: Same answer.
Quote from George Jr.
Missy: Do you know how to get to the hospital?
Georgie: Yeah. It's right across the street from the Dairy Queen.
Sheldon: Which Dairy Queen?
Georgie: What are you talkin' about?
Sheldon: There's two.
Georgie: Really?
Quote from George Sr.
George: If I grab my chest and keel over, maybe we can get out of here.
Mary: That's a terrible thing to say.
Quote from Meemaw
Sheldon: What? But you weren't happy.
Meemaw: I made you think I was unhappy.
Sheldon: But that's lying. You lied to your moon pie.
Meemaw: I bluffed my moon pie.
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: My father took pride in saying that he ran our house like a tight ship. The ship got a lot looser when my meemaw came over to babysit.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: I'm gonna look at my cards again.
Sheldon: You're unhappy.
Meemaw: Which means?
Sheldon: You don't have good cards.
Meemaw: Mm-hmm. So I'm gonna see your nickel and raise you a quarter.
Sheldon: Quarter?
Meemaw: You can fold.
Sheldon: No. I have good cards, you have bad cards. I'm in. [revealing his cards] Nines and fives.
Meemaw: Mm. That's too bad. Three queens. You lose!
Quote from Mary
Mary: I think my husband's having a heart attack!
Nurse Robinson: I need an RRT and a crash cart.
Mary: Over here.
Nurse Robinson: Sir, are you having chest pains right now?
George: Yeah, a little bit.
Nurse Robinson: Any numbness or pain in your arms?
George: Maybe this one.
Nurse Robinson: Shortness of breath?
Mary: Enough questions. He's a fat, middle-aged man with chest pains. Do something!
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Y'all two go get ready for bed.
Georgie: I don't want to stay around here. I want to go to the hospital and see Dad.
Meemaw: Well, I want to go to Las Vegas and see Willie Nelson, but that ain't gonna happen either.
Quote from Meemaw
Georgie: This is stupid.
Meemaw: You know what's stupid? I got to drink pink wine!
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Hold up. Now, y'all like it when your meemaw babysits. Poker, candy, firecrackers.
Sheldon: Yes.
Missy: Yeah.
Meemaw: Well, if your mother ever finds out what you did tonight, that is never gonna happen again.
Sheldon: I can't lie to my mother.
Meemaw: Sure you can. Believe in yourself!
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: Despite what it looks like, I didn't pray to God that night. I prayed to Blaise Pascal. My thinking was, if he was right about the existence of God, then he could pass along my request for my dad to get better. If he was wrong - well in this moment, I needed him to be right.
Quote from Sheldon
Mary: Shelly, put your hand down. [To Pastor Jeff] Sorry. Please continue.
Pastor Jeff: It's okay, Mary. It's Sheldon, right?
Sheldon: Yes, sir.
Pastor Jeff: Well, Sheldon, why don't you come on up here and tell me how I'm wrong.
Mary: No.
Sheldon: Okay.
