Georgie Is Dropping Out of School

Georgie Cooper, Sheldon's older brother, discovers he has an innate talent for business and working at the local sporting goods store. Realizing he can earn cash and real-world experience immediately, he decides high school is a waste of time and drops out. His choice sparks a massive domestic conflict between his traditional mother, Mary, his furious father, George Sr., and his employer/mentor, Dale.


Georgie Cooper: Sheldon's entrepreneurial older brother who prefers the cash register over a desk.


Mary Cooper: Georgie’s deeply protective, traditional Christian mother who believes school is non-negotiable.


George Cooper Sr.: Georgie’s father and high school football coach, who threatens to evict him over dropping out.


Dale Ballard: Georgie's straightforward boss at the sporting goods store who thinks dropping out isn't a bad idea.


Meemaw (Connie): Georgie’s grandmother, who surprisingly takes his side over Mary's.

  • Scene 1: The School Counselor
    Counselor: "Level with me, son. Is it drinking? Drugs?"
    Georgie: "Actually, it's work... At work, I'm getting actual experience and making money. You're saying I'm going to drop out? I guess I am."
    Counselor: "Does your father know?"
    Georgie: "No. If you don't tell him, I'm going to."
    Counselor: "That'd be great. You're the best!"
    Scene 2: Total Domestic Drama
    George Sr: "What the hell's wrong with you?!"
    Mary: "He's dropping out of school."
    George Sr: "You better believe it's a big deal. You are finishing high school, end of discussion! ... My house, my rules!"
    Mary: "Hold on, we are not kicking him out!"
    Georgie: "I'll pack right now."
    Scene 3: Confronting the Boss
    Mary: "Dale! Did you tell Georgie to drop out of school?"
    Dale: "No, he was just complaining about school, and I told him *I* dropped out... I don't believe he is making a mistake. I did it, worked out fine."
    Mary: "Connie, will you back me up here, please?"
    Meemaw: "I agree with him. The kid's a natural salesman, school's not going to help with that."
