- Raj Koothrappali: I'm calling my dad, OK?. He's got experience dealing with pregnant ladies because he's an OB/GYN. And experience with crazy ladies because of my mom.
- Bert: Could you not say anything about this to the people at the University? You know, 'cause you're you and I'm me, and it's kind of embarrassing.
- Penny Hofstadter: What do you mean she's her?
- Bert: Well, you know how Amy's the coolest girl on campus, right?
- Penny Hofstadter, Amy Farrah Fowler: No!
- Bert: Oh, yeah, everybody thinks so.
- Penny Hofstadter: What? You tell me about your foot fungus, but this is a secret?
- Amy Farrah Fowler: I'm sure it's just 'cause I'm dating Sheldon.
- Bert: Hm, actually, I think Sheldon's popular because he's dating *you*.
- Penny Hofstadter: Now Sheldon's popular? What is happening?
- Howard Wolowitz: [about Sheldon] Well, this probably won't work, but has anyone ever tried to just haul off and whup the crazy out of him?
- Leonard Hofstadter: That's not helpful. It's fun to think about, but it's not helpful.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Sorry I flipped out on you; I think it's just hormones.
- Raj Koothrappali: I think you were mean before you were pregnant, but it's fine.
- [first lines]
- Howard Wolowitz: It's pretty late. Think I've got time to run some more simulation on the cooling system?
- Leonard Hofstadter: Sure. I'm still figuring out the thermal-acoustic expander.
- Sheldon Cooper: Well, while you do that I am going to pump cerebral spinal fluid through my brain cells to remove the metabolic byproducts of the day's thoughts.
- Howard Wolowitz: What?
- Sheldon Cooper: It's called sleep, and it's my bedtime. Nighty-night, y'all.
- Howard Wolowitz: Hey, hey, hey, you're not going anywhere.
- Leonard Hofstadter: We only have two months to deliver this to the Air Force because of you.
- Sheldon Cooper: I know.
- [yawning]
- Sheldon Cooper: I was there.
- Howard Wolowitz: Look, wake up! We're going to put in a lot of late nights.
- Sheldon Cooper: How late?
- Howard Wolowitz: Well, I don't know. Midnight. One.
- Sheldon Cooper: One o'clock! I'm not a raccoon.
- Howard Wolowitz: If you're tired, have some coffee.
- Sheldon Cooper: Wu- you have some coffee!
- Howard Wolowitz: I am having coffee!
- Howard Wolowitz: And look how irritable it's making you!
- Leonard Hofstadter: Guys! We're not going to get anything done if we start fighting. Now, can you please try to soldier through?
- Sheldon Cooper: Fine.
- [last lines]
- Howard Wolowitz: Sir, we've hit a bit of a snag. We're already behind schedule.
- Sheldon Cooper: The computations required to overcome the deployability issues are more significant than we thought.
- Leonard Hofstadter: I understand that we're under contract, and I don't know what the consequences of violating that are but, um, we're not going to be able to deliver in the time we promised.
- Colonel Richard Williams: How long do you need?
- Howard Wolowitz: W- w- we're thinking... two years.
- Colonel Richard Williams: All right.
- Howard Wolowitz: Huh, that's it? You're OK with that?
- Colonel Richard Williams: Tscha. Well, you think you're the first contractor who isn't going to deliver on time? Still waiting for a big space laser Reagan ordered to beat the commies.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Thanks for understanding, sir.
- Howard Wolowitz: Yes, thank your so much.
- Sheldon Cooper: We, we really appreciate it.
- [they leave, but the Colonel hears them talking in the hall]
- Leonard Hofstadter: All right, pressure's off.
- Howard Wolowitz: Want to see a movie?
- Sheldon Cooper: Popcorn's on me.
- Bert: It makes sense you two are friends. I mean, hot girls always stick together.
- Amy Farrah Fowler: And you thought this wasn't going to be a great party.
- Penny Hofstadter: You know, I had no idea Cal Tech is *exactly* like my high school.
- Amy Farrah Fowler: Well, it's not *exactly* like it. We're all extremely smart.
- Penny Hofstadter: Wow, you popular girls are mean.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: I don't even know where to begin.
- Raj Koothrappali: Well, in The Sound of Music, Julie Andrews says, "Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start."
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Huh. I was gonna start at the end, thank God you're here.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Once I was supposed to babysit my brothers, our neighbor found them naked in the backyard eating crickets.
- Raj Koothrappali: Happy and well-fed. You see, that's what I'm taking from that story.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Listen to me. We can't do anything until you do your part. So get up in front of this whiteboard and do it!
- Sheldon Cooper: I can't.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Yes, you can.
- Sheldon Cooper: No, I can't figure out the math. I've been wracking my brain for days. I've got nothing.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Seriously?
- Sheldon Cooper: I can't do it. I'm not as smart as I think I am. I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.
- Penny Hofstadter: So Amy's cool, Sheldon's cool. Tell me about Leonard.
- Bert: Who?
- Penny Hofstadter: Leonard Hofstadter.
- Bert: Oh, him. I guess he's alright. Apparently, he tricked some hot girl into marrying him.
