[series last lines]
Sheldon Cooper : I have a very long and somewhat self-centered speech here. But I'd like to set it aside.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah!
Howard Wolowitz : Way to go!
Sheldon Cooper : Because this honor doesn't just belong to me. I wouldn't be up here if it weren't for some very important people in my life. Beginning with my mother, father, meemaw, brother, and sister. And my other family, who I'm so happy to have here with us. Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
[Sarah waves from her seat next to Raj]
Sheldon Cooper : I was under a misapprehension that my accomplishments were mine alone. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have been encouraged, sustained, inspired, and tolerated not only by my wife, but by the greatest group of friends anyone ever had. I'd like to ask them to stand.
[they do so as he acknowledges them]
Sheldon Cooper : Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali. Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski Wolowitz. Astronaut Howard Wolowitz. And my two dearest friends in the world, Penny Hofstadter... and Dr. Leonard Hofstadter. I was there the moment Leonard and Penny met. He said to me that their babies would be smart and beautiful. And now that they're expecting, I have no doubt that that will be the case.
Penny Hofstadter : [crying] Thanks, Sheldon. I-I haven't told my parents yet, but thanks.
Sheldon Cooper : Oh. I'm sorry. Don't tell anyone that last thing. That's a secret. Howard, Bernadette, Raj, Penny, Leonard, I apologize if I haven't been the friend you deserve. But I want you to know in my way, I love you all.
[to Amy]
Sheldon Cooper : And I love you. Thank you.
-
Penny Hofstadter : Leonard, I can't go home. I have to be there for Amy.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah. I was thinking that, too. As angry as I am at Sheldon, I still want to see him win that medal.
Penny Hofstadter : You know, it's so strange. No matter how thoughtless and selfish he is, I still love him.
Leonard Hofstadter : If you think about it, he has kind of been our practice kid.
Penny Hofstadter : Like when you make pancakes and the first one comes out a little wonky.
Leonard Hofstadter : The university prefers "quirky".
-
Penny Hofstadter : [throwing up] Okay, that's it for the fish. We'll be back with the meatballs after a short word from our sponsor.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Was Amy suspicious when they had to let your dress out?
Penny Hofstadter : No. She was so happy, she didn't even question it.
Leonard Hofstadter : Someone's gonna figure it out. Why don't we just tell people?
Penny Hofstadter : No, it's too early. I haven't even wrapped my head around it.
Leonard Hofstadter : I have. My head is wrapped.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah, well... if something else had been wrapped, we wouldn't be in this situation.
-
Penny Hofstadter : Hey, what's going on?
Sheldon Cooper : [covering his mouth] Unclean! Unclean!
Penny Hofstadter : What?
Leonard Hofstadter : He thinks you're sick.
Penny Hofstadter : Oh. Should we tell him?
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, if we don't, he might try and jump out of the plane.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah. Doesn't answer my question.
Sheldon Cooper : Tell me what?
Penny Hofstadter : I'm pregnant, Sheldon.
Sheldon Cooper : You're right, I can't catch that.
[returning to his seat]
Sheldon Cooper : Good news, Amy. She's just pregnant.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : [on the phone with Howard] Oh, us, too.
Penny Hofstadter : Wait, what?
Leonard Hofstadter : They're gonna stay. The kids are fine. Bernie's parents took over.
[listening]
Leonard Hofstadter : Really? Oh, poor little guy.
Penny Hofstadter : Is Michael okay?
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, it's Stuart. Bernie's dad gave him a hug, cracked a rib.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sheldon Cooper : As a reminder, Penny, there's free alcohol in business class; don't abuse it.
Penny Hofstadter : Relax. I'm not gonna drink.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Why? You pregnant?
Penny Hofstadter : [scoffing and laughing it off] Wha...? No. No. I just, you know, I don't... I don't like to drink when I fly.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Please. I've seen you drink in the shower.
Howard Wolowitz : You guys have showered together?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Sometimes, you're just... ick.
Howard Wolowitz : That wasn't a "no".
Sheldon Cooper : All right, well, we should head out now if we're gonna get to the airport six hours before boarding.
[everyone moves to leave]
Sheldon Cooper : Excuse me? Hello? What did we just learn about the end of business meetings?
Penny Hofstadter : Oh, my god.
[they all groan and shake hands]
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 : 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?
-
Penny Hofstadter : Come on, you didn't really expect him to react like a normal human being.
Leonard Hofstadter : No, but still, a-after all these years, after all the crap I've put up with, you'd think just this once he'd care about someone else's feelings.
Penny Hofstadter : Oh, my god!
Leonard Hofstadter : What?
Penny Hofstadter : Pickled herring. Who knew how good it was?
Leonard Hofstadter : Really?
Penny Hofstadter : Sounds gross. Looks gross. Smells gross.
[taking a bite]
Penny Hofstadter : It's delicious!
-
Leonard Hofstadter : If I recall, you're the one who went out drinking with Sheldon, then came home and attacked me.
Penny Hofstadter : What? Attacked you? I think I said "Do you wanna?".
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah. And I was helpless.
Penny Hofstadter : Uh-huh.
Leonard Hofstadter : [they kiss] So... do you wanna?
Penny Hofstadter : Well, I can't get more pregnant.
Leonard Hofstadter : Mm-hmm. We'll see about that.
