• Sheldon Cooper : Did she let you play with her train set?

  Tam Nguyen : In a manner of speaking.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Tam Nguyen?

  Tam Nguyen : Yes. Is my son done with his tour?

  Howard Wolowitz : No idea. We're actually friends of Sheldon Cooper.

  Tam Nguyen : Oh, I've been trying to get in touch with him, but I never heard back. Is he okay?

  Leonard Hofstadter : If you mean physically, yes.

  Howard Wolowitz : If you mean every other way, no.

• Leonard Hofstadter : I'm glad you guys made up.

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, I realized my life turned out great, and it's silly to hold a grudge.

  Tam Nguyen : And I had no idea we were fighting, so it was easy.

• Tam Nguyen : Sheldon, so good to see you.

  Sheldon Cooper : [impersonally]  Tam.

  Tam Nguyen : It's been a long time.

  Sheldon Cooper : Hm, not long enough to erase the sting of betrayal.

  Tam Nguyen : How did I betray you?

  Sheldon Cooper : You know what you did.

  Raj Koothrappali : Uh, let me catch you up. He does not.

• Sheldon Cooper : When I moved to California, what did you do?

  Tam Nguyen : I stayed in Texas.

  Sheldon Cooper : [to the others]  Do you believe this guy?

  Howard Wolowitz : [Sheldon storms off]  So, he was your best friend growing up?

  Tam Nguyen : Yes.

  Howard Wolowitz : Were there no other kids in Texas?

• Tam Nguyen : Sheldon, I needed to stay in Texas. And you needed to come here. I knew you were gonna do amazing things and meet amazing people who were gonna respect you, because you're brilliant. And because they never had to fish you out of a dumpster.

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, they have, but it was during my short-lived parkour phase.

• Sheldon Cooper : Hello Tam. Thank you for coming. I just want you to know that, um... I forgive you.

  Tam Nguyen : I didn't do anything.

  Sheldon Cooper : And yet, here I am, still being the bigger man.
