Quotes
-
Principal Petersen : First of all, I want to thank you both for coming.
Mary : Yeah, yeah, what'd he do?
Principal Petersen : Uh, he didn't do anything.
George Sr. : Gosh, Tom, I want to believe you.
Principal Petersen : Okay, the problem is the curriculum here is not challenging enough for Sheldon. Now, he gets bored and maybe doesn't express himself in the most productive way.
-
Mary : So you're saying he's being rude to his teachers?
George Sr. : That's unacceptable. I'll... I'll give him a talking-to.
Principal Petersen : I don't know if I'd call him rude.
Mary : Well, put a word on it.
Principal Petersen : Rude. Let's go with rude. Rude is good.
-
Principal Petersen : I want you to consider another approach to his education.
George Sr. : Okay.
Mary : What does that mean?
Principal Petersen : I recently had a nice chat with the head of Wilmont Academy for Gifted Children. Now, I told her all about Sheldon, and she seemed to think he would be a perfect fit over there.
Mary : We already looked into private school. We can't afford it.
George Sr. : Well, not unless you're giving me a raise.
Principal Petersen : I'm not.
George Sr. : Okay. Just checking.

Mary : Look, we appreciate you going to bat for him, but he's just a wee little thing. We can't ship him off to Dallas.
George Sr. : Well, shouldn't we talk about this first?
Mary : What's there to talk about, George?
George Sr. : This could be a great opportunity for Sheldon.
Mary : He's nine years old.
George Sr. : Oh, come on, you can't measure him in Earth years.
Mary : You're saying he's an alien?
Principal Petersen : Well, in George's defense, that idea has been tossed around...
[George non-verbally warns him to stop]
Principal Petersen : ...a little bit. That's a bad joke. Look, I understand this is a big decision. If you change your mind, give me a call. I'd be more than happy to set up an interview.
