Quotes
-
Leonard Hofstadter : You pick up your dresses?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Yep. The tailor had to take mine in and let Penny's out. Best day of my life.
Sheldon Cooper : What about the day you met me?
Amy Farrah Fowler : I stand by my statement.
-
Sheldon Cooper : Well, I hate to say it, but I think everyone is being incredibly selfish.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, you would be the authority on the subject.
Sheldon Cooper : What does that mean?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, no one is happier than I am to win the Nobel. But it's not more important than our friends.
Sheldon Cooper : How can you call them friends when they're abandoning us?
Amy Farrah Fowler : They're abandoning us because you broke their hearts.
Sheldon Cooper : I didn't mean to.
Amy Farrah Fowler : I know! You never mean to. It's the only reason people tolerate you!
Sheldon Cooper : Does that include you?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sometimes, yeah.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : What happened to "I'm never gonna have kids"?
Penny Hofstadter : Well, it was accident. I went out drinking with Sheldon.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [gasp] Oh, my gosh. We're sister wives?
Penny Hofstadter : No! Then I went home and slept with Leonard.
Amy Farrah Fowler : While fantasizing about...
Penny Hofstadter : Leonard. And a little Idris Elba.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Why are you talking so fast?
Sheldon Cooper : I'm trying to get my speech down to 90 minutes.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Nobody's gonna be able to understand a word you're saying.
Sheldon Cooper : Welcome to my life.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : I think you need to do some editing, like maybe cut out all that stuff about your childhood.
Sheldon Cooper : Are you kidding? Growing up in the backwoods of East Texas is what makes me warm and relatable.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, what about all these pages calling out everyone who said you wouldn't succeed?
Sheldon Cooper : I told them all they would rue the day. How is it gonna make me look when the day finally comes and they're not filled with rue?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, this isn't about ruing. This is about... humbly accepting a great honor.
Sheldon Cooper : Amy, we won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Humility is for people who win the goofy Nobels like Literature, Economics, and Peace.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Please tell me that's not in your speech.
Sheldon Cooper : Oh. I-I can cut it, but it's the only joke I have.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : What kind of DNA is this, anyway?
Sheldon Cooper : I was trying to design the genetic code of an advanced race of human being. One of my rare failures, actually.
Leonard Hofstadter : What went wrong?
Sheldon Cooper : The balls kept sticking to my pants.
Leonard Hofstadter : Let's just let it dry.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [entering with Penny] Hi.
Leonard Hofstadter : Hey.
Sheldon Cooper : Hello.
Penny Hofstadter : Hey, babe.
Leonard Hofstadter , Sheldon Cooper : Oh, don't slam the...!
[they shut the door, but the model remains intact]
Sheldon Cooper : That was exhilarating.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Why didn't you tell me?
Penny Hofstadter : I didn't tell anybody.
Amy Farrah Fowler : I'm not anybody. I'm your best friend.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : [approaching] What's going on?
Amy Farrah Fowler : She's pregnant.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : That's fantastic!
[hitting Penny]
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Why didn't you tell me?
Amy Farrah Fowler : She didn't tell me, either.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : But I'm her best friend.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [sardonic laugh] We'll get into that later.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon has something he'd like to say.
Sheldon Cooper : I'm sorry I didn't react appropriately. You and Penny are bringing new life into the world. Congratulations. I can't wait to meet it.
Leonard Hofstadter : It?
Sheldon Cooper : That's a gender-neutral pronoun. If you're offended, take it up with the English language.
-
Howard Wolowitz : Oh, good, you're here. Listen, we're thinking maybe we should go back to L.A.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Why?
Howard Wolowitz : We just can't be this far away from the kids. Bernie's having a meltdown, and frankly, so am I.
Sheldon Cooper : Yeah, well, pull it together. This is a big day for me.
Howard Wolowitz : [scoffing] Yeah, I wasn't sure what to do. Now I am. We're going home.
Leonard Hofstadter : We'll join you.
Penny Hofstadter : Oh, wait. Do I get a vote in this?
Leonard Hofstadter : They'll have pickled herring on the plane.
Penny Hofstadter : Bye-bye.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : I would just like to take this moment to say to all the young girls out there who dream about science as a profession: go for it. It is the greatest job in the world. And if anybody tells you can't, don't listen.
[glancing at Sheldon]
Amy Farrah Fowler : And now, speaking of not listening, my husband, Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
-
Penny Hofstadter : Thank you guys so much for the clothes and the shoes, the plane tickets. You've been so generous.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, it's important that all of our friends get to share this moment with us.
Sheldon Cooper : And then for years to come, you can tell others you had a front-row seat to history. Althought, technically, I think your seats are in the second row.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Do you want to go back to the apartment and see me try on my dress?
Sheldon Cooper : Shouldn't I see it for the first time at the Nobel ceremony?
Amy Farrah Fowler : It's not a wedding.
Sheldon Cooper : Okay. Well, give me a minute to think of another reason I don't want to see it.
Amy Farrah Fowler : How about this: you can practice your acceptance speech while I try on the dress.
Sheldon Cooper : Ah, great. You can help me whittle it down to 90 minutes.

Amy Farrah Fowler : The challenging climate of Scandinavia has left its mark on the Swedish character. These dour, latter-day Vikings are slow to warm up to strangers, but if you follow a few easy steps, a Swede can be your friend for life.
Sheldon Cooper : Number one: in Sweden, punctuality is taken very seriously. In other words, the loosey-goosey attitude in Helsinki will not fly in Stockholm.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Two: at the beginning and end of all business and social meetings, shake hands with everyone present; men, women, and children.
Sheldon Cooper : Yes, you're all encouraged to pair off and practice this once we're in the air and the seat belt sign is off.
[Penny raises her hand]
Sheldon Cooper : Yes, Penny.
Penny Hofstadter : Oh. Do we have to go?
-
Sheldon Cooper : [seeing Penny enter the airplane bathroom] That's the fourth time she's been to the bathroom in the last two hours.
Amy Farrah Fowler : So?
Sheldon Cooper : So... her breakfast was binding. I made sure of that.
Amy Farrah Fowler : So?
Sheldon Cooper : So she clearly has some sort of stomach distress. If it's viral, we're all susceptible.
Amy Farrah Fowler : She's probably just airsick.
Sheldon Cooper : Yeah, but what if she's not? What if we get what she has? What if we infect the King of Sweden? That's how wars start.
[Penny exits the bathroom, then immediately turns back around]
Sheldon Cooper : All right, that's it. This is "Outbreak" and she's the monkey.
