- [Sheldon has chosen Psychology 101 as his elective]
- Mr. Givens: Thanksgiving weekend approaching! It's a perfect opportunity to observe family dynamics and how our parents, relatives and siblings affect us. Now...
- [Sheldon's hand shoots up]
- Mr. Givens: Yes, Sheldon.
- Sheldon Cooper: I don't find that interesting.
- Mr. Givens: Well, tough knuckles, that's the assignment. Now, you'll all be expected to collect data on your family, form a hypothesis and make a prediction.
- Sheldon Cooper: So, you're giving us homework for Thanksgiving?
- Mr. Givens: [with a sly smile] Yes.
- Sheldon Cooper: Oh, boy!
- [When George Sr gets a job offer in Tulsa, Sheldon muses on what it would be like to move]
- Sheldon Cooper: I'd have a new room, in a new house and the new house would probably have a different smell! And I probably wouldn't like that smell, because I don't like new smells! And I'd be going to a new school with new kids and new teachers and I bet they'd all smell different, as well!
- Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker: [sensing that Sheldon is becoming agitated] Okay, now calm down!
- Sheldon Cooper: [firmly] That's easy for you to say! Your olfactory senses aren't about to be assaulted by the state of Oklahoma!
- Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker: Let's try a different approach. Can I take you to get some ice cream?
- Sheldon Cooper: [raising his voice] I'm having an emotional crisis, Meemaw! You can't fix that with ice cream!
- Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker: Right. Sorry.
- [she pauses, then speaks almost in a whisper]
- Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker: You wanna go to Radio Shack?
- Sheldon Cooper: [shouting] Yes! I want to go to Radio Shack!
