Quotes
-
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".
-
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.
-
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 : [repairing his DNA model] Carbon. Hydrogen. Carbon. Carbon. And last but not least, carbon.
Leonard Hofstadter : This might be the glue talking, but that was a very pleasurable 139 1/2 hours.
-
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.
-
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 : We need to do something about your wife.
Leonard Hofstadter : What's the matter?
Sheldon Cooper : She is clearly sick, and she's gonna take us all down with her.
Leonard Hofstadter : She's not sick, Sheldon.
Sheldon Cooper : She is, and I'm gonna catch it, and it's gonna ruin the greatest day of my life.
Leonard Hofstadter : I promise you're not gonna get what she has.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Are you kidding me? You just found out that a woman who has loved and cared for you for twelve years is pregnant, and all you can say is you're relieved that she's not gonna get you sick?
Sheldon Cooper : There's no need for a recap. I was there.
-
Sheldon Cooper : What would you like me to say?
Leonard Hofstadter : How about congratulating us?
Sheldon Cooper : Are congratulations even in order? I didn't think Penny wanted children.
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, she didn't, now she does. And just so you know, we weren't gonna tell anybody so we wouldn't upstage your big day.
Sheldon Cooper : Oh, please, you couldn't upstage us. We won a Nobel Prize. Any idiot can have a baby.
Howard Wolowitz : [approaching] Hey. What's going on?
Sheldon Cooper : Case in point.
Leonard Hofstadter : You are a selfish jerk. To hell with you and your Nobel Prize.
-
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.
-
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.
