[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.

Bernadette Rostenkowski : Now, Michael, mommy and daddy are going away for a couple days, so if you're gonna say your first words, you gotta do it now or wait 'till we get back.
Howard Wolowitz : [leading Halley out of the bathroom] Somebody just peed in the big girl potty.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Oh, I'm so proud! It was her, right?
-
Howard Wolowitz : What happened, Stuart?
Stuart Bloom : He was running a little fever, nothing to worry about. And Halley, bless her heart, wanted to bring him his boo-boo bear, so she climbed over the safety rail and... took a little tumble down the stairs.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : She fell down the stairs?
Stuart Bloom : [stammering] She rolled down the stairs, laughing the whole time. Anyway, when she got to the bottom, there was a tooth missing.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Oh, Stuart!
Stuart Bloom : She's fine! She thought it was funny.
Howard Wolowitz : Did you at least save it for the Tooth Fairy?
Stuart Bloom : No, we couldn't find it. We have a theory about where it is, but it'll take six to eight hours to confirm. Speaking of which, where do you keep the spaghetti strainer?
-
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]
-
Howard Wolowitz : I was just looking at the map. Couldn't help thinking: we're here, and they're there, and if anything happened, we'd have to go here to get all the way back there.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Why are you trying to freak me out?
Howard Wolowitz : This is our vacation. I thought we should do things together.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Howard, the kids are okay.
Howard Wolowitz : How do you know that?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : I just know. A mother knows.
Howard Wolowitz : So what, now the Force is with you?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Let's see.
[waving her hand, a la the Jedi mind trick]
Bernadette Rostenkowski : This is not the woman you want to annoy.
-
Raj Koothrappali : You see the woman sitting next to me?
Howard Wolowitz : [looking] What about her?
Raj Koothrappali : [showing him his phone] Is this her?
Howard Wolowitz : Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Raj Koothrappali : Shh! Be cool.
Howard Wolowitz : [looking again] No, that's not her.
Raj Koothrappali : Okay.
[covering Sarah's eyes on the picture]
Raj Koothrappali : How about now?
-
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.
-
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Hi, Stuart, just checking in. Seeing if everything's okay.
Stuart Bloom : Oh, yeah, we're having fun. Me, Halley, and Denise played hide and seek all day.
Howard Wolowitz : Oh, that's nice.
Stuart Bloom : Yeah. I found Denise right away.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Where was Halley hiding?
Stuart Bloom : Uh, the important thing is she's not there now.
-
Bernadette Rostenkowski : So everyone's happy and healthy?
Stuart Bloom : Well, that depends.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : What's that mean?
Stuart Bloom : Uh... how many teeth did Halley have when you left?
Howard Wolowitz : All of them.
Stuart Bloom : Oh, yeah, that's-that's what I was afraid of.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : What happened?
Stuart Bloom : Um, well, all right. Um, Michael had a little fever last night.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Michael had a fever?
Stuart Bloom : Do you want to hear about Halley or not?
-
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.
-
Howard Wolowitz : You still feel good about leaving them with Stuart and Denise for a couple days?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : I guess. I just hope we don't miss Michael's first words.
Howard Wolowitz : Or Stuart's last words.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : You realize it's been years since we've gotten away, just the two of us.
Howard Wolowitz : I know. I can't wait. Fancy hotel room. The big bed.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Yeah. We're gonna sleep our asses off.
-
Sheldon Cooper : All right, bagels down. Before we head to the airport, I'd like to go over a few things.
[the others all groan]
Sheldon Cooper : From the moment we step off the plane, each and every one of you is an ambassador for Amy and myself.
Howard Wolowitz : [quietly to Bernie] Told you these tickets weren't free.
Sheldon Cooper : As such, your behavior must reflect the highest standards. Uh, Raj, bagel down.
Raj Koothrappali : If my blood sugar drops and I get bitchy, it's on you.
-
Howard Wolowitz : How you doing?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Fine. Why?
Howard Wolowitz : Well, this is the furthest we've ever been away from the kids. I was just checking to see if you're okay.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : I'm on my second "Jack Reacher". I'm doing great.
