Mary: Greed has entered into your hearts, especially you two.
George Sr.: It has not.
Mary: Is that a gold whistle?
George Sr.: Huh? No. It's- It's a gift. Now, where's our stuff? We want it back.
Mary: I'm not telling.
George Sr.: Mary, don't make me ask again.
Mary: Or what?

Adult Sheldon: Eventually, my mother relented and returned our things with a few minor adjustments.
Missy: What's The Moosewood Gang?
Mary: They solve mysteries while they learn about God.
Missy: Great.
Adult Sheldon: Georgie got his music back.
George Jr.: [as Jesus Christ Superstar plays] What the hell is this?
Adult Sheldon: And as for college, my mother and father discussed it and decided that ten was too young. So I didn't start till the ripe old age of 11. In the meantime I had the key to one sweet bathroom.

Adult Sheldon: Before that disembodied voice on AOL started saying, "You've got mail," we relied on my mom.
Mary: Shelly, you've got mail!
Adult Sheldon: Some mail brought great joy.
Sheldon: Greetings, Mr. Spock.
Adult Sheldon: Some mail brought pain.
Mary: George, you got jury duty!
George Sr.: Tell 'em I died!
Adult Sheldon: And one time, mail caused a war between neighbors rivaling that of the Klingon Empire and the Federation, which trust me was a doozy.

Dr. John Sturgis: Connie.
Meemaw: Oh, hello, John.
Dr. John Sturgis: It's nice to see you.
Meemaw: It's nice to see you, too.
Dr. John Sturgis: I assumed you stopped bringing Sheldon to class 'cause you were worried it would be awkward running into me after our breakup.
Sheldon: I asked her the same question, but she assured me that wasn't the case.
Dr. John Sturgis: What a relief!

Mary: Well, I'm not trying to be mean here either, but you are behaving very unneighborly.
Brenda Sparks: [scoffs] That was mean?
Mary: You're darn tootin'.
Brenda Sparks: Tootin'?
Mary: Tootin'!

Dr. John Sturgis: It was nice seeing you, Connie. Uh, we should get coffee sometime and catch up.
Meemaw: Maybe, sure, yeah. We'll see.
Dr. John Sturgis: What about, uh, tomorrow morning?
Meemaw: Oh, that's not great for me.
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, what about Sunday?
Meemaw: Mm, I can't do that either. Maybe another time.
Dr. John Sturgis: Oh, I see.

Pastor Jeff: He said it was to love God and love your neighbor as yourself. And that's what I want to talk about today, being a good neighbor. How do we love our neighbors? We check in on them, we welcome them into our homes. If we're having a party, we invite them. Even if they're not the most popular.
Brenda Sparks: Are you kidding me?
Mary: Shh.

George Sr.: [answering phone] Hello?
Dr. John Sturgis: Hello, George. Uh, John Sturgis here.
George Sr.: Oh, hey, how you doing?
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, honestly, it's been a bit of a confusing week, and I was hoping we could schedule some male bonding time.
George Sr.: Oh?
Dr. John Sturgis: Perhaps go to a bar or, uh, take a brisk walk together.
George Sr.: [chuckles] I'm not really a walker.
George Jr.: Well, that's true.

Dr. John Sturgis: [on the phone] Well, bar it is. How's, uh, 2:00?
George Sr.: Uh, today's not great for me. Uh, maybe some other time.
Dr. John Sturgis: Oh, I understand. Uh, I won't bother you again.
George Sr.: Well, it's not like that, y-you know, I'm just kind of busy right now.
Dr. John Sturgis: Of course, you made that perfectly clear. Goodbye. [hangs up]

George Jr.: You just dump somebody?
George Sr.: No. Dr. Sturgis wanted to hang out, and I'm busy.
George Jr.: Yeah, busy breaking hearts.

Mary: I just think it's important that every once in a while Sheldon does normal kid things.
George Sr.: You realize he's not a normal kid?
Mary: Of course I do.
George Sr.: Then what are you doing?
Mary: I'm trying to make sure he knows how to be social so he doesn't become some lonely adult no one wants to be around.
George Sr.: Damn it.

Mary: You can't wear that. No one else is gonna be dressed up.
Sheldon: That's fine. I plan on pretending I'm a neutral observer of an alien culture.
Mary: Or you can go and play with the other kids and wear pants from this planet.

Sheldon: I thought you said I was supposed to have fun.
Mary: Go and change. You are not wearing that.
Sheldon: Then I'm not going.
Mary: You're going.
Sheldon: Then I'm wearing this.
Mary: No, you're not.
Sheldon: Yes, I am.
Mary: Well, if you're gonna wear that, you need to participate.
Sheldon: Participate how?
Mary: Party games, cake and singing "Happy Birthday."
Sheldon: No games, one slice of cake, and I will mouth the words while the others sing.
Mary: One game, and you need to interact with the other children.

Sheldon: Fascinating. It seems to be a carbon-based life-form. [to Mary] I'm interacting.

Dr. John Sturgis: I've been feeling the loss very profoundly and it's making me wonder if she also is feeling lonely and I made a bad decision for both of us.
George Sr.: I hate to be the one to tell you this, John, but, uh she's kind of been seeing someone new and, uh she seems to be doing okay.
Dr. John Sturgis: I see. [stammers] Is she happy?
George Sr.: Hard to tell. Her face is all scrunched up and pinched most of the time.
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, I hope this man she's seeing treats her well.
George Sr.: He seems okay.
Dr. John Sturgis: I also hope he gets lost at sea and never returns. I'm having a lot of feelings.
George Sr.: Well, when that happens to me, I have another beer.
Dr. John Sturgis: I haven't finished this one yet.
George Sr.: More for me.

Dr. John Sturgis: Oh, they scored another touchdown.
George Sr.: That's just a replay, John.

Meemaw: I saw your bike outside, so I-I thought I'd just, uh, say hi.
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, that's so nice of you.
Meemaw: I don't mean to interrupt or anything. I just wanted to check in.
Dr. John Sturgis: [to George] Would it be awkward if I asked her to join us?
George Sr.: Oh, couldn't be any more awkward.
Dr. John Sturgis: Would you like to, uh, watch the game with us? It's-it's football.
Meemaw: Well, sure. [chuckles] I guess a little visit wouldn't hurt.
Dr. John Sturgis: Excellent.
Meemaw: Let me guess, you brought the grapes.
Dr. John Sturgis: I did.

Brenda Sparks: Hope you're happy. Billy's missing his own party 'cause he's playing spaceman in the chicken coop with your son.
Mary: You were right. I shouldn't have made you invite him. I'm sorry.
Brenda Sparks: Okay. Well, good.
Mary: It's just hard to see him be left out. And I worry it's not gonna get better when he grows older.
Brenda Sparks: Can't say that Billy is exactly Mr. Popular either.
Mary: I'm sure this kind of stuff bothers me way more than it bothers Sheldon.
Brenda Sparks: Doesn't make it any easier, does it?
Mary: No.

Missy: "Dear Sheldon and Missy, thank you for coming to my party. I liked playing with Mr. Spock and watching Missy throw up Kool-Aid in the bushes." Still tasted like cherry. "My mother also threw up, but that was because of wine. My dad says she drinks because"-
Mary: Okay, that's nice.
Missy: But there's more.
Mary: No, there's not.
Sheldon: Guess we'll never know why she drinks.

Dr. John Sturgis: So, I understand you're seeing someone new. Tell me everything.
Meemaw: No!
Dr. John Sturgis: I assumed that, uh, as friends, we could tell each other about our personal lives.
Meemaw: Trust me, John, you-you don't want to hear about these things.
Dr. John Sturgis: Actually, I do. Your happiness is very important to me.
Meemaw: Oh, what the hell. His name is Dale. He owns a sporting goods store. And we've only been out a few times, but so far, so good.
Dr. John Sturgis: Well, that sounds wonderful. Good for you.
Meemaw: Thank you.
Dr. John Sturgis: Now, would you like to hear about the women I'm dating?
Meemaw: You're dating other women?
Dr. John Sturgis: Heavens, no.
