• Anu : Hi.

  [suddenly unable to talk, Raj waves] 

  Anu : [awkwardly waving back]  Everything okay?

  [he heads towards the bathroom] 

  Anu : Why are you acting so weird?

  [he takes a bottle of champagne and closes the door] 

  Anu : Raj? What's going on?

  Raj Koothrappali : Be right out! You look beautiful!

• Howard Wolowitz : Guys, guys, there's a simple solution.

  Raj Koothrappali : I am not breaking up with her.

  Howard Wolowitz : All right. Let's keep thinking.

  Raj Koothrappali : [a few minutes later]  Hey, everybody, it's Anu.

  Anu : Hi.

  Howard Wolowitz , Leonard Hofstadter , Penny Hofstadter , Bernadette Rostenkowski , Amy Farrah Fowler : [all crammed onto one cushion]  Hi!

  Sheldon Cooper : [in his spot]  Welcome!

• Raj Koothrappali : Oh, I am stuffed! I should not have eaten all those dumplings.

  Anu : I think we should have sex.

  Raj Koothrappali : [playing it cool after almost crashing the car]  Me, too.

  Anu : Yeah, it's just we haven't done it yet, and I think it's important to make sure we're compatible before we get married.

  Raj Koothrappali : Oh, I totally agree. Oh, just one question. While we're doing it, can I leave my shirt on? You know, the dumplings, pretty salty.

  Anu : It doesn't have to be tonight. How about this weekend? I can get us a room at my hotel.

  Raj Koothrappali : Okay. Sounds nice. We can order a bunch of room service, because I'm not eating anything between now and then.

  Anu : Aw. Are you worried?

  Raj Koothrappali : I am not worried. If anything, I'm overconfident. Edging into smug.

  Anu : I'm sure it's gonna be fine.

  Raj Koothrappali : Oh, it's gonna be better than fine. Trust me, I've had no complaints.

  Anu : Good to know.

  Raj Koothrappali : Well, I've had questions, comments, some constructive criticism, but... no complaints.

• Raj Koothrappali : Sorry, I had to use the facilities.

  Anu : With a bottle of champagne?

  Raj Koothrappali : Mm, I like to celebrate the little things in life. You need to go? There's still some left.

• Anu : Raj, what is going on?

  Raj Koothrappali : [taking off his coat]  No, no, it's not what's going on, it's what's coming off.

  Anu : Stop it. You're acting weird, and it's freaking me out.

  Raj Koothrappali : Why? Because I couldn't talk and ran in the bathroom to slug back a bottle of champagne when I pretended to pee?

  Anu : Okay, I think I'm gonna leave.

  Raj Koothrappali : No, no. Wait, wait. Don't... okay, don't go.

  Anu : Fine. Then tell me what's going on.

  Raj Koothrappali : Well, funny story...

  Anu : The truth.

  Raj Koothrappali : Oh, god, the truth is so not good for me.

• Raj Koothrappali : Okay, you wanted the truth, here it is.

  Anu : You have a drinking problem.

  Raj Koothrappali : No. I, uh, I have a talking problem, and a drinking solution.

• Raj Koothrappali : For most of my life, I got so nervous around women that I couldn't talk to them without alcohol.

  Anu : So you've been drunk every time we've seen each other?

  Raj Koothrappali : No. No, it hasn't happened in a long time. And I really thought I was over it, but I guess... I don't know, I guess I-I wanted so much for tonight to go well, that I stressed myself out. It came back.

  Anu : Why didn't you tell me about this before?

  Raj Koothrappali : I was embarrassed.

• Anu : If it makes you feel any better, I've got things I'm embarrassed about, too.

  Raj Koothrappali : Really? Will you tell me one?

  Anu : Okay. Um... Ugh. I hate telling people this. I don't like music.

  Raj Koothrappali : What kind of music?

  Anu : Just... all of it. It sort of seems like a waste of time.

  Raj Koothrappali : Even Beyoncé?

  Anu : See, this is why I don't tell people.

  Raj Koothrappali : No. Um, it's fine. It's just, have you heard "Single Ladies"?

  Anu : Yeah, and I don't get it. I mean, the lyrics are "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."

  Raj Koothrappali : Y-You have to sing it in the voice of a goddess. Like, uh...

  Anu : [he hums the melody]  My point is, we both have our little eccentricities.

  Raj Koothrappali : Little eccentricities? One is a deep-seated psychological disturbance, and the other can be solved with half a glass of chardonnay.

• Anu : Last night was... wonderful.

  Raj Koothrappali : But all we did was talk.

  Anu : Yeah. And it was wonderful. Am I safe to assume you talking to me now is a good sign for our marriage?

  Raj Koothrappali : Yeah, and-and for my liver. Hey, about the other thing. Um... should we just wait for another night?

  Anu : Or I go take a shower, and you decide how you want to play this.

  [she heads to the bathroom, while he tries to figure out her meaning] 

  Anu : Take a shower with me, Raj.
