Quotes 

• Dr. Flora Douglas : I must tell you, in all I've been here, I have never seen such glowing letters of recommendation from a student's teachers.

  George Sr. : Well, that's real nice to hear.

  Dr. Flora Douglas : Now, listen to this: "Putting aside his superior intellect, Sheldon is a delight to have in the class. He's fun-loving, easy to get along with, and always ready to help another student."

  Sheldon : That doesn't sound like me at all.

  Mary : Sure it does, sweetie.

• Mary : Flora, I have to ask about the living arrangements. That's our main concern.

  Dr. Flora Douglas : Well, I think I can reassure you about that. My husband and I have been hosting a student for the last several years who recently graduated and is now at Princeton. So we have a guest room available in our home.

  George Sr. : That's very generous of you. Does your husband work at the school also?

  Dr. Flora Douglas : No, he's retired. He was an astrophysicist for NASA.

  Sheldon : [his interest piqued]  Please tell me you don't have a dog.

  Dr. Flora Douglas : No. We're both allergic.

  Sheldon : [turning to Mary]  I'm tingling.

• Sheldon : Aren't we going to say grace?

  Dr. Flora Douglas : Oh. We don't do that in our house.

  Sheldon : Oh.

  Dr. Flora Douglas : But you're welcome to do so.

  Sheldon : That's all right. I don't believe in God.

  Elliot Douglas : Well, then why would you say grace?

  Sheldon : Because it makes my mom happy.

  Dr. Flora Douglas : And why are you wearing mittens?

  Sheldon : Well, I don't know where your hands have been.
