307. Pongo Pygmaeus and a Culture that Encourages Spitting
November 14, 2019When Sheldon gets a modem, he starts a flame war on a physics discussion board. Meanwhile, Meemaw is concerned when George spends time with her new boyfriend, while things aren't easy for Missy on or off the baseball field.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Morning. Just a reminder, I'm gonna be late tonight. Hanging with my new buddy Dale.
Meemaw: Well, I hope you two have fun together.
George: Oh, we will. So much to talk about.
Mary: You better respect her privacy.
George: Oh, I don't plan on doing that at all.
Meemaw: Don't you need to go to work?
George: Yes, but I don't want to leave until I know you're upset.
Meemaw: Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not.
George: Yeah, you are. Bye.
Quote from George Jr.
Georgie: Veronica.
Veronica: Hey, Georgie. What's up?
Georgie: We're-we're friends, right?
Veronica: Yeah.
Georgie: We're just friends?
Veronica: What do you mean?
Georgie: Well, I've asked you out a bunch and you've made it pretty clear you weren't interested, but before I asked out another girl, I just wanted to make sure that-
Veronica: It's fine.
Georgie: You sure? Because if it's not-
Veronica: Georgie, I need to focus on my relationship with God right now, but I'm really happy for you.
Quote from Missy
Mary: I'm sorry those girls were so mean.
Missy: They didn't just call me a boy. They wouldn't sit with me at lunch. No one talked to me at recess.
Mary: Aw, baby.
Missy: Somebody crossed out "Missy Cooper" in my notebook and wrote "Mister Cooper."
Mary: Well, if that's what they're like, maybe you don't want them as friends.
Missy: I don't think I want to play baseball anymore.
Mary: If that's what you want, it's your decision.
Quote from Mary
Brenda Sparks: [on the phone] Listen, I'm just doing you a favor. The other moms on the team are starting to talk.
Mary: Well, maybe the other moms need to mind their own business.
Brenda Sparks: Come on, Mary. Isn't one weird kid in your family enough? You going for a record?
Mary: [hanging up] You're playing baseball.
Missy: But you said it was my decision.
Mary: It is. And you're playing.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: Can I top off your coffee?
George: Well, that's awfully nice of you.
Meemaw: You know me. I'm a pleaser.
George: You just want to know what I talked about with Dale.
Meemaw: Not really.
George: I promise you got nothing to worry about. I didn't say a thing.
Meemaw: Thank you. So what'd you find out about him?
George: Oh, I see how this works.
Meemaw: You're damn straight that's how it works. Now spill.
Quote from George Sr.
George: Ejected from your very first game. I'm proud of you, slugger.
Missy: Thanks, Dad.
Meemaw: Dairy Queen's on me.
Mary: To be clear, we are not rewarding violence. But I am glad you didn't let those girls from school bully you into quitting.
Missy: I should rub their faces in the dirt.
George: That's my girl.
Meemaw: Someone's getting extra sprinkles tonight.
George: Ooh, hooray for violence.
Quote from Sheldon
Dr. John Sturgis: [answering the phone] Hello?
Sheldon: I'm having a scientific argument with someone and I need your help.
Dr. John Sturgis: I do love a good science fight. Has it devolved to name-calling yet?
Sheldon: Yes. I called him a Pongo pygmaeus.
Dr. John Sturgis: Oh! A Bornean orangutan. That is a creature who would be very bad at science. Well done.
Sheldon: I know.
