Quotes 

• Mr. Rostenkowski : I don't know what's scarier: the bathroom clowns or the woman that put 'em there.

  Sheldon Cooper : All I know is you can only fit one of her in a car.

  [Howard enters from the kitchen] 

  Sheldon Cooper : And there's the clown that came out of her.

  [Howard turns right around and goes back in the kitchen] 

• Mr. Rostenkowski : What's wrong with your mother?

  Howard Wolowitz : Oh, her gout's acting up. Turns out an apple pie a day does not keep the doctor away.

  Mrs. Wolowitz : How can one little toe hurt so bad?

  Howard Wolowitz : Maybe because that little piggy is being *crushed by the barn!*

• Mr. Rostenkowski : I've kept a marriage together for 35 years. Can I weigh in here?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sure.

  Mr. Rostenkowski : I'm trying to watch the game. Shut up.

• Mr. Rostenkowski : So is your dad still living in Texas?

  Sheldon Cooper : My father died when I was fourteen.

  Mr. Rostenkowski : I'm sorry to hear that.

  Sheldon Cooper : So was the guy who ran the liquor store. He cried and cried.

• Sheldon Cooper : [belching]  ... 2,3,8,4,6...

  [then quickly covers his mouth] 

  Sheldon Cooper : That's as far as I can get without throwing up.

  Mr. Rostenkowski : [laughing]  Well, that's not what was I was thinking when you told me you could burp *pie*.

  Mrs. Wolowitz : Did somebody say pie?

• Mr. Rostenkowski : Do you remember the Thanksgiving game when it snowed in Dallas?

  Sheldon Cooper : 1993. Leon Lett blew the game in the final seconds and the Dolphins emerged victorious. Then I finally got to do my calculus.

  Mr. Rostenkowski : I was so pissed, I wanted to shoot my TV.

  Sheldon Cooper : So was my dad. And then he did.

• Mr. Rostenkowski : So if your dad died when you were 14, you were never old enough to have a beer with the man.

  Sheldon Cooper : No sir. He did try to give me one for my high school graduation, but I was eleven and my mom said no.

• Mr. Rostenkowski : I know I'm hard on you, but you're not the worst son-in-law in the world.

  Howard Wolowitz : Mike, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

  Mr. Rostenkowski : Well, I'm drunk.
