Episode Notes

  • Title Reference: "The 6:10 to Lubbock" refers to the train which regularly rattles Georgie and Mandy's trailer.
  • Georgie, Audrey and Jim watch an episode of Frasier, specifically Season 1, Episode 18 "And the Whimper Is...", which originally aired February 17, 1994. Georgie also references The Wonder Years, which originally ran from 1988 to 1993.
  • Georgie’s remarks about preferring ‘laughing shows’ like Frasier are a meta-joke, acknowledging that Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage is filmed in front of a studio audience, unlike its single-camera predecessor Young Sheldon and the also-mentioned The Wonder Years.

Quotes

Quote from Georgie

Frasier: [on TV] In order to prevent spillage, one does not simply twist out the cork. [shouts] Oh, God!
Georgie: Frasier's a laughing show. I like laughing shows.
Audrey: What are you talking about?
Georgie: Well, some shows you can hear people laughing, and some you can't. Wonder Years, no one's laughing. Is it funny? We'll never know.
Audrey: I prefer to laugh when I choose to.
Georgie: Really? I ain't never seen you laugh. [Jim laughs]

Quote from Audrey

Mandy: Busy?
Audrey: Just sending the U.S. government more of our hard-earned money to piss away.

Quote from Connor

Audrey: How's your music going?
Connor: Excellent. I'm working on a piece in seven-four time. ♪ One-two-three, one-two, one-two ♪ ♪ One-two-three, one-two, one-two. ♪ It's impossible to dance to.

Quote from Georgie

Georgie: I told you, you don't have to call me "sir." Plain ol' Georgie's fine.
Ruben: Look at me, taking orders from "plain ol' Georgie."
Georgie: Hey, I'm not giving orders. I'm just a lowly Smurf working for his lordship.
Ruben: Lowly serf.
Georgie: No, I'm pretty sure it's Smurf.
Ruben: Except one of us is sleeping with the boss's daughter.
Georgie: Whoa. Hold on, partner. I slept with her, got her pregnant, and then married her. The order's a little wonky, but I checked all the boxes.

Quote from Georgie

Jim: I don't know what to do with that boy.
Audrey: There's nothing "to do" with him. He's just a creative soul.
Georgie: If it helps, I've got some experience with quirky family members.
Mandy: Oh, that is true.
Georgie: Sheldon turned out pretty good, considering majority of the folks can't stand him.
Audrey: Well, what did your parents do?
Georgie: Well, my mom always babied him, and my dad was always mad about it.
Mandy: Yeah, that's exactly what they've been doing.
Georgie: Right. Keep up the good work.
