Leonard Hofstadter : Okay. Now that everyone's here, Penny and I have some big news.
Penny : We're engaged!
Raj Koothrappali : Oh my goodness! And I thought me having sex with Emily was going to be the big news.
[Bernadette, Amy and Howard hug Raj]
Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, hey. What the hell?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : You guys propose all the time. This never happens.
Penny : You're right!

Penny : No, Mom. It's the same guy I've been going out with for the last two years. Yeah, the scientist. Well, it's complicated. I mean, he works with lasers and atomic magnets. No, I did not see it coming. No, we did not set a date. No, I am not pregnant. Yeah, this is a first for our family. All right. Tell Dad I love him. I gotta go. Right. Bye.

Penny : We were worried about you.
Sheldon Cooper : Don't be melodramatic. I'm just getting on a train and leaving forever.
Leonard Hofstadter : Seriously? You don't even have change of clothes or a toothbrush.
Sheldon Cooper : My plan is to stop at malls and buy what I need. It's called living off the land.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : So, should we talk about setting a date?
Penny : Well, I'd like to pick one that works with my brother's schedule.
Leonard Hofstadter : Okay. And when would that be?
Penny : Uh, 12 to 18 months from now depending on good behaviour.

Penny : [She was offered the job to care for Howard's mother; next scene, she's storming out of the house] Nope! You can keep your money!
Bernadette Rostenkowski : [after the door closes] I've ridden a bull longer than that.

Sheldon Cooper : Leonard, I am overwhelmed. Everything is changing and it's simply too much. I need to get away and think.
Leonard Hofstadter : Come on. You know you're overreacting.
Penny : Leonard, hang on. Just come here. Maybe we need to let him go.
Leonard Hofstadter : What? Why?
Penny : It might be good for him.
Leonard Hofstadter : You know he can't take a trip like this by himself.
Penny : He's a grown man.
Leonard Hofstadter : No, he looks like a grown man. You've seen "Freaky Friday"; sometimes little kids end up in big person bodies.
Penny : Leonard, we can't protect him forever.
Leonard Hofstadter : I know, but...
Penny : He'll be okay. You taught him well, Padawan.
Sheldon Cooper : Good Lord. Padawan's the student, not the teacher.
Penny : Seriously, let him go.
Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon, if you really need to do this I'm not gonna stand in your way.
Sheldon Cooper : I do.
Leonard Hofstadter : Okay. Good luck.
Penny : Be safe and call us.
[Kisses him]
Sheldon Cooper : I will.
Leonard Hofstadter : Bye, buddy.
[he starts to leave]
Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon.
Sheldon Cooper : Yes.
Leonard Hofstadter : I'm gonna miss you.
Sheldon Cooper : Of course you are.
Leonard Hofstadter : He just made that easier.

Leonard Hofstadter : He's okay?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Actually sounds like he's doing pretty well.
Penny : I really think this is going to be for the best.
Leonard Hofstadter : Me too. And he was able to take a sabbatical...
Amy Farrah Fowler : [Hitting Leonard with a cushion] How could you let him go?
