Quotes

Leonard: Finally, there's a Mrs. Hofstadter who isn't disappointed in me.

Mary Cooper: Don't send it back yet. Your sister's married and I'm not letting your brother give my grandmother's ring to that whore he's dating.
Sheldon: Wasn't Mary Magdelene a woman of ill repute?
Mary Cooper: When your idiot brother redeems mankind he can date whoever he wants.

Sheldon: Some important new information has come to light. Women are the worst. I thought it was paper cuts, but I was wrong. No piece of paper ever cut me this deep.

Penny: So what package were you thinking?
Leonard: Well this one comes with music and flowers. Oh, and they even stream the whole thing live on the internet.
Penny: Why would we want that?
Leonard: Cause there's a lot of gorgeous blondes out there who don't believe they can land a short, near-sighted scientist? Let's give them hope.
Penny: Whatever. Put us on the internet. I've always wanted a wedding with a comments section.

Sheldon: You know what, Amy? I don't understand. Are we broken up or not? It's like you can't make up your mind.
Amy: It's because you're not giving me any space to think.
Sheldon: Well, you should think fast because men can sire offspring their entire lives, but those eggs you're toting around have a sell-by date.

Bernadette: Aw, that was beautiful.
Howard: Yeah, I mean not like our wedding, beautiful.
Bernadette: No, we totally won.

Leonard: Penny, we are made of particles that existed since the moment the universe began. I like to think those atoms travelled 14 billion years through time and space to create us so that we could be together and make each other whole.

Mary Cooper: You want to tell me what happened?
Sheldon: Are you going to say it's all part of God's plan?
Mary Cooper: Good chance.
Sheldon: Then, no thank you.

Sheldon: (on Madame Curie) She was kind of an honorary man. She had a penis made of science.

Sheldon: We make everyone feel awkward. That's our thing.
