Quotes

Leonard: Penny, after all these years, I still feel like maybe I don't deserve you.
Penny: Okay, that is the lamest excuse you could have possibly come up with. But I get it.
Leonard: You do?
Penny: Yeah. Sometimes I worry I'm gonna wake up, and you're going to leave me for someone like you.
Leonard: I don't even understand why you're with someone like me. Why would I want to be with someone like me?

Leonard: I just got married recently.
Mandy Chow: Congratulations! To Sheldon?

Penny: Sheldon, I can't believe you got us a wedding gift.
Sheldon: I don't know why you're so surprised. I watch movies. I see what people do.

Howard: Why are marine biologists always so cute?
Raj: I don't know, but I'd like to get lost in her Bermuda Triangle.
Leonard: That's not helpful.
Howard: Then I won't say I'd like to cover three quarters of her surface area.
Leonard: Are you done?
Raj: Not yet, this is fun! Ooh, I know... I'd let her free my Willy.
(Leonard gets up)
Raj: Where are you going?
Leonard: Going to ask her if she'd be willing to talk to Penny. Tell her she has nothing to worry about.
Howard: Leonard wait.
Leonard: What?
Howard: I'd like to spongebob her squarepants.
Raj: Now we are done.

Leonard: I've loved you since the moment we met, and I'll love you until the end of time.

Sheldon: The show must go on, and thankfully all the things my girlfriend used to do can be taken care of with my right hand.

Leonard: Am I being weird?
Sheldon: Yes... and that's coming from me.
