Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : [walks into the kitchen]  Good news! We found investors for the grant database.

  Mary Cooper : Oh, honey! That's great!

  Sheldon Cooper : And even more good news: you no longer have to drive me to school, because I'm dropping out to work on it.

  Mary Cooper : What? No, you're not!

  Sheldon Cooper : But, they won't fund the project unless I'm working on it full-time.

  Mary Cooper : I don't care! You're finishing college!

  Sheldon Cooper : [pointing to his brother]  But, you let him drop out.

  Mary Cooper : And look how his life turned out!

  Georgie Cooper : Hey!

  Mary Cooper : I'm sorry, Sheldon, but you're gonna have to tell them "no"!

  Georgie Cooper : I've got a job and a cool garage to live in!

  Mary Cooper : *sigh*

  Sheldon Cooper : This doesn't have to be permanent. I can always go back.

  Mary Cooper : People always say that and then life gets in the way. *I* was gonna go to college after I had Georgie and then I didn't.

  Georgie Cooper : [smugly]  And look how her life turned out.

  Mary Cooper : This discussion is over!

  Sheldon Cooper : This is so unfair!

  Missy Cooper : [walks into the kitchen]  What's going on?

  Georgie Cooper : Sheldon wants to quit college.

  Missy Cooper : So, I'm the only one who's not a dropout? Who saw *that* coming?
