Quotes11

  • Sheldon Cooper: All right, that moves us on to the tactical shipping phase. Penny, I believe as logistics commander, that's you.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Okay.
  • [waving a white napkin]
  • Penny Hofstadter: I surrender.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Nice try, Penny. It takes more than everybody not enjoying it to stop a game with Sheldon Cooper.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Sheldon, we're talking about something important here.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Fine. If you pick a baby name, can we get back to playing?
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Sure.
  • Sheldon Cooper: All right, here we go. Ranatanata.
  • Raj Koothrappali: You can't name him Ranatanata.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, right, it's a boy. That'd be ridiculous. What about Ozymandias?
  • Penny Hofstadter: Are you making these up or having a stroke?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Guys, wake up. Terrible news.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Oh, my god. What, what, what? Is it the baby?
  • Sheldon Cooper: No. No, no, we miscalculated our unassigned armor class units. We need to start over.
  • Raj Koothrappali: What?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, no, no, no, not from the beginning. Just from when the tanks started moving.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: That was five hours ago.
  • Sheldon Cooper: [checking his watch] Mm, no. No, that was two hours ago. It only feels like five.
  • Raj Koothrappali: [He, Penny, and Leonard show up at Howard and Bernadette's house. He's holding a bag of food carriers] Hey guys. I brought Chinese.
  • Penny Hofstadter: [Indicating Raj with her hands] And I brought Indian.
  • Penny Hofstadter: [Trying to get Bernadette to do some yoga with her] We go down.
  • [Penny squats down effortlessly, while Bernadette tries using the chair for assistance]
  • Penny Hofstadter: Then back up.
  • [She comes back up, but Bernadette is stuck]
  • Penny Hofstadter: And back up!
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Yeah, hearing you is not the problem.
  • [Penny gets her cell phone and points it at Bernadette]
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: What are you doing? Put that thing away.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Smile.
  • [Click. The picture makes Bernadette look like she's going #2]
  • Penny Hofstadter: Hey, Bernie, it's me. I let myself in.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: [sitting on the stairs] Hey.
  • Penny Hofstadter: What are you doing? I thought you were supposed to be on bed rest.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: That's done, but I've been on stair rest for the last forty-five minutes.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Here, let me help you.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: [Penny helps her stand up] Yeah. If you really want to help, put on a rubber glove, reach on up there and start pulling.
  • Penny Hofstadter: I know you're joking, but I grew up on a farm. I'll do it.
  • Penny Hofstadter: You know, when my yoga instructor was pregnant, she told me there are tons of poses that put her right into labor.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: I'll try, but I feel like bendy poses are what got me into this mess.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Okay, we're gonna start with some nice breathing exercises.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Sorry. I can't think of anything except how flat your belly is.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Oh, thank you.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Go put on some more clothes, you bitch.
  • Penny Hofstadter: When did you pick out our kids' names?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Remember that day you moved into the building?
  • Penny Hofstadter: Yes.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: A non-creepy amount of time after that.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: You've thought about our kids?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Of course. I think you and I will have exceptional children.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Aw. Well, I think so, too.
  • Raj Koothrappali: How many kids do you guys want?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Fifteen.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Two.
  • [giving him a weird look]
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: What?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Well, don't worry. I don't expect you to bear them all. I'm sure we can find a suitable uterus to rent.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: [they both turn to glance at Penny] No!
  • Penny Hofstadter: Uh-uh!
  • Howard Wolowitz: You okay?
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Uh, I think that was a contraction.
  • Howard Wolowitz: Is it time? Do we need to go the hospital?
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: No. We've been through this before. My water hasn't even broken yet.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Never mind your water. Has your mucus plug popped out?
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Ew, no!
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, you're right. We probably would've heard that.
  • Penny Hofstadter: It's not a champagne cork. Although, that would be festive.
