Quotes
-
Howard Wolowitz : Mom also had just gotten some news that might've upset her.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : What?
Howard Wolowitz : It's not important.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Come on, Howard, I'm going to be your wife. You can share anything with me.
Howard Wolowitz : Oh, you'd think that, but no.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : You told her we were going to get married and she had a heart attack?
Howard Wolowitz : You can't take that personally.
Penny : How else is she supposed to take it?
Howard Wolowitz : What you've gotta keep in mind is that ever since my dad left, I've been the whole world to my mother. I mean, she'd be threatened by any woman who can give me what she can't.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : You mean sexual intercourse?
Howard Wolowitz : Well, when you say it like that, you make it sound creepy.
[Priya and Raj enter]
Priya Koothrappali : What happened?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Howard's mother had a heart attack because I have sex with him and she can't!
-
Priya Koothrappali : It's nice of you to show up for Howard
Penny : Howard is my friend
[she giggles]
Priya Koothrappali : Did I miss something?
Penny : Howard Wolowitz is my friend, you know one time he tried to stick his tongue down my throat and I broke his nose?
Priya Koothrappali : That's easier to believe than he's your friend
-
Leonard Hofstadter : What took you guys so long?
Priya Koothrappali : Oh, we were just chatting.
Leonard Hofstadter : That's nice. What about?
Penny : We were just comparing notes about how you are in the sack.
[Penny and Leonard laugh]
Leonard Hofstadter : [uncomfortable] That's funny.
Penny : Yeah.
Raj Koothrappali : [after Penny and Priya walk to their seats] What if she wasn't kidding?
Leonard Hofstadter : Doesn't matter. I'm the king of foreplay.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : What did your mother say when you told her you were getting married?
Bernadette Rostenkowski : He hasn't told her yet; he's waiting for the right time.
Howard Wolowitz : Yeah, I was thinking of weaving it into her eulogy.
Priya Koothrappali : Howard, you've got to tell your mother!
Howard Wolowitz : [about Leonard] Hey, have you told your parents you're dating this short glass of skim milk yet?
Priya Koothrappali : Uh, that's different. First of all, we're not engaged. And second, Indian parents are very protective of their children.
Howard Wolowitz : Right, right. Whereas Jewish mothers take a casual la-di-da approach to their sons.
-
Priya Koothrappali : You know, my brother had a group of friends like this in India. They dressed up in leotards and goggles and called themselves 'The New Delhi Power Rangers'.
Penny : You mean when he was little.
Priya Koothrappali : Not as little as you'd want him to be.
-
Penny : You want to talk about crazy mothers, Leonard's mom wouldn't give him any sort of approval growing up... It makes him desperate to please women. That's why the foreplay goes on and on.
Priya Koothrappali : It does, doesn't it?
Penny : It's like he's trying to win a prize. A word of advice... don't doze off. You will never hear the end of it.
