- 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?
- Pastor Rob: We've got the same goal here, George.
- George Cooper Sr.: Really? You also want you to get out of my office?
