Quotes 

• Penny : Oh, yeah, you can't sit there.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Why not?

  Leonard Hofstadter : That's where Sheldon sits.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : He can't sit somewhere else?

  Penny : Oh no, you see in the winter, that seat is close enough the the radiator so he's warm yet not so close that he sweats. In the summer it's directly in the path of a cross-breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that isn't direct so he can still talk to everybody yet not so wide that the picture looks distorted.

  Sheldon : Perhaps there's hope for you after all.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Relax, it'll be fine. Sit down, you guys.

  Leonard Hofstadter , Penny , Raj Koothrappali : [as Bernadette goes for Sheldon's spot]  No!

  Bernadette : What?

  Penny : Oh, yeah. You can't sit there.

  Bernadette : Why not?

  Leonard Hofstadter : That's where Sheldon sits.

  Bernadette : He can't sit somewhere else?

  [from across the room Sheldon turns, stares and raises an eyebrow a freakishly long way] 

  Penny : Oh, no, no. You see, in the winter that seat is close enough to the radiator so that he's warm yet not so close that he sweats. In the summer, it's directly in the path of the cross breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television on an angle that isn't direct so he can still talk to everybody, yet not so wide that the picture looks distorted.

  Sheldon Cooper : Perhaps there's hope for you after all.

• Bernadette : Don't take him too seriously. A lot of what he says is intended as humor.

  Penny : Yeah, well, I don't think it's very funny.

  Bernadette : Me, neither. But, he just lights up when I laugh.

  Penny : Howard, never let her go.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Are you interested in physics?

  Bernadette : I find it fascinating. If I hadn't gone into microbiology, I probably would have gone into physics... or ice dancing.

• Bernadette : [forgiving Wolowitz after an argument]  Come here, Tushy Face.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [as they kiss, he snickers and pulls out his phone]  "Tushy Face". That is going on Twitter right now.

• Bernadette : I don't have Howard's street cred.

• Bernadette : I love your shoes.

  Penny : Oh, thanks. They are cute, aren't they?

  Bernadette : Where'd you get them?

  Penny : Shoes for Less.

  Bernadette : I've been meaning to go over there.

  Penny : Oh, great selection, great prices.

  Sheldon Cooper : My mother was right. Hell is real.

  Howard Wolowitz : Come on, Sheldon, let the women-folk chat.

  Penny : Women-folk?

  Howard Wolowitz : Gals? Chicks? Utero-Americans?..

• Howard Wolowitz : Thought I'd give the little woman a tour of the old salt mines.

  Bernadette : to Leonard: He doesn't mean salt mine. He means where he works.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yah. I know. I got it.
