Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : Leonard, I had no idea your siblings were so much more successful than you.

  Raj Koothrappali : Yeah, you're like the Jar-Jar Binks of the Hofstadter family.

  Howard Wolowitz : [Imitating Jar-jar]  Oh, meesa think yousa lookin' so-so sad.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You know, rather than mock me, my friends might realize that this is difficult and try to help me through it.

  Raj Koothrappali : Nope, I think mocking you is more fun.

  Howard Wolowitz : [imitating JarJar Binks]  Next time, don't yousa bring momma to work, Okee-day?

  [Raj and Howard laugh] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : [Leonard's mother comes back]  That was fast.

  Beverly : Oh, the middle stall was occupied, I'll have to try again later.

  Sheldon Cooper : It's totally understandable. In bladder voiding as in real estate, it's location, location, location.

  Beverly : So where were we?

  Leonard Hofstadter : [to his mother]  Howard lives with his mother, and Raj can't speak to women unless he's drunk. Go!

  Beverly : Well, that's fascinating. Selective mutism is quite rare. On the other hand, an adult Jewish male living with his mother is so common it borders on sociological cliché.

  Howard Wolowitz : It's just temporary, I pay rent.

  Leonard Hofstadter : He lives in the same room where his bassinet was.

  Beverly : You know, both selective mutism and an inability to separate from one's mother can stem from a pathological fear of women. It might explain why the two of you have created an ersatz homosexual marriage to satisfy your need for intimacy.

  Howard Wolowitz : Say what?

  [Raj whispers in Howard's ear] 

  Howard Wolowitz : That's basically what I just said!

  Leonard Hofstadter : [to Raj]  You brought your husband to work, you know the rules.

  [imitating JarJar Binks] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : Meesa thinkin' yousa lookin' pretty sad now too, betcha betcha.

  Raj Koothrappali : [the boys are playing Rock Band] 

  [singing] 

  Raj Koothrappali : I don't ever wanna feel / Like I did that day / Take me to the place I love / Take me all the way /

  [falsetto] 

  Raj Koothrappali : I don't ever wanna feel / Like I did that day / Take me to the place I lo-

  [sees Penny in the doorway] 

  Penny : Fellas, please.

  Howard Wolowitz : Penny, come on, we were just finding our sound.

  Penny : You found it. It's the sound of a cat being run over by a lawnmower.
