Quotes

Raj: Sheldon is out of town so we can do whatever we want. We even ordered from the Thai place he doesn't like.
Stuart: How is it?
Penny: Disgusting. Do not tell him.
Leonard: What do you guys want to do tonight?
Amy: I don't know.
Bernadette: I told Howie if I wasn't busy I'd spend the night at his Mom's. So for God sakes, think of something.

Mary Cooper: Are you having the sex talk with me?

Mary Cooper: Oh, dear Lord.
Sheldon: No, don't look to Him. He's mad at you right now.

Raj: Cows may be sacred there, but it doesn't help if you look like one.

Leonard: Do you really think we would drift apart if we really became successful?
Penny: Of course not. If I became a famous actress if I had to move you'd just come with me.
Leonard: I got a chance to be a tenured professor I might not have that much chose where I end up.
Penny: Yea, but if I become a successful actress we wouldn't need the money.

Sheldon: I'll condemn you internally, while maintaining an outward appearance of acceptance.
Mary Cooper: (lovingly) That is very Christian of you.

Raj: Perhaps the killer dropped a fun and imaginative clue somewhere in the apartment.
Penny: Ooh, I'm gonna check the fridge and see if there are any clues inside a beer.

Amy: Should you really be sitting in Sheldon's spot?
Raj: He's in Texas. He'll never know.
Penny: I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Leonard: Yeah, he has a very sensitive butt.
Amy, Raj, Penny, Bernadette: ?
Leonard: Well, it's true. Once I saw him sit on a bunch of loose change and add it up.

Penny: Are you going to make us pretend to be a bunch of lame characters with silly accents?
Raj: Lame characters with silly accents. What kind of an actress are you?

Stuart: I think you're the best couple I know.
Leonard: Ah.
Penny: That's so sweet.
Bernadette: What the hell?
Amy: Excuse me?
Penny: Let the dead man talk. Why do you say that?
Stuart: Well, I feel like you guys make each other better. Penny brought Leonard out of your shell. Seems like Leonard makes Penny think more deeply about the world. I don't know. Together you make one awesome person.
Penny: Ah, Stuart. Now I feel bad for murdering you.

Sheldon: I can't wait to see the look on her face. We're leaving right now.
Howard: Why?
Sheldon: Nothing.
Howard: Sheldon. What's going on?
Sheldon: I saw my Mommy with a naked man and she's trying to be a Mommy again.

Sheldon: Mother.
(Knock-knock-knock)
Sheldon: Mother.
(Knock-knock-knock)
Sheldon: Mother.
(Knock-knock-knock)
Sheldon: Mother.
Mary Cooper: Shelly. I'm so glad you're here.
Sheldon: I saw you having naked sex.
Mary Cooper: What are you talking about?
Sheldon: Earlier I came here to surprise you. I looked in the window and I saw you with a man.
Mary Cooper: Oh, Shelly. I'm so sorry. Come in. Um. Maybe we should sit down and talk about this.
Sheldon: Can you recommend a surface you haven't had coitus on?
Mary Cooper: That's not funny. Maybe we should sit at the table.

Raj: Throughout the game feel free to ask each other questions to uncover the clues.
Penny: Got it. Hey, who's the murderer?
Raj: Any question but that.
Penny: All right. Hey, who's not the murderer?

Amy: Yea, I won the Nobel Prize in physiology then I use the money to buy Stuart's comic book store and close it down so Sheldon will pay attention to me. Not the worst idea.

Leonard: Come on guys, Raj put a lot of effort into this. And it's great... not sad. It's great.
Amy: It might be fun to be somebody else tonight.
Raj: Actually you're all just going to be yourselves.
Amy: Oh, uck.

Sheldon: I think what bothers me the most is the hypocrisy. Doesn't this contradict all the religious rules you've been expounding your whole life?
Mary Cooper: You're right, it does. And it is something I have been struggling with these days.
Sheldon: Then why are you doing it?
Mary Cooper: Because I'm not perfect, Shelly, and that man's booty is.
Sheldon: Well, this is confusing for me. But I don't want to stand in the way of your happiness so I'll condemn you internally while maintaining an outward appearance of acceptance.
Mary Cooper: That is very Christian of you.

Sheldon: How long have you been a demented sex pervert?
Mary Cooper: That is no way to speak to your mother.
Sheldon: Perhaps not. But is a way to speak to a woman who quoted the bible to me my whole life and then desecrated one of Ethan Allan's finest.
Mary Cooper: I will give you one opportunity young man to apologize to me.
Sheldon: Or what?
Mary Cooper: Or I will send you to your room.
Sheldon: That is ridiculous. I am a grown man, I am a professional scientist and currently occupy the moral high ground
Mary Cooper: Go to your room.
Sheldon: But I occupy the moral high ground.
Mary Cooper: Go to your room.
Sheldon: But I am a professional scientist.
Mary Cooper: Go to your room.
Sheldon: I'm a grown man.

Howard: You might not want to get in the way of your Mom's happiness.

Leonard: Does the gazelle with a flair for storytelling know that he's just ripping off "Terminator".

Howard: Good luck.
Sheldon: Aren't you gonna come with me?
Sheldon: While you confront your mother about her sex life? I'd rather go back to that bar in ass-less chaps.

Penny: Are you really gonna lie on the floor and pretend to be dead all night?
Stuart: What do you think I was gonna do at home?

Sheldon: I thought you were waiting in the car.
Howard: That was an hour ago, Sheldon. A jew sits in front of a house in Texas that long, For Sale signs start to go up.

Leonard: You don't go into science for the money.
Bernadette: Speak for yourself! Last month my company both invented and cured restless eye syndrome. Ka-ching, ya blinky chumps!

Sheldon: I love my mother... even if she fornicates like a demonic weasel.

Raj: Penny and Leonard, you two love birds are super-successful and living in New York. You're an actress. You're a professor and you have three beautiful kids.
Leonard: Great.
Penny: You're really putting this body through three kids?

Raj: Welcome to another classic Kotherpali murder mystery dinner.
Amy: I'm leaving.
