Quotes
Claire: You've been talking about "Frozen" for an hour?
Howard: You should have seen him after "The Good Dinosaur".
Raj: It was a classic Western set in the post-Jurassic period and it changed my life!
Raj: (In a daydream, sitting with a youngster on his knee) And that's how Mommy and Daddy met.
Claire: (feeding a baby) Hey, did you ever tell Emily about us?
Raj: I will!
Penny: You know, the last time I got a hand-written letter was from someone who told me I park like a blind person.
Leonard: That someone has a name.
Sheldon: Thank you.
Bernadette: I'm sure it was harmless. People flirt, no big deal.
Howard: Really? So it's okay if I fli...
Bernadette: Not you. I own your ass.
Meemaw: If you feel so strongly, I won't stand in your way.
Sheldon: Thank you.
Amy: So if he wanted to give me that engagement ring, we would have your blessing?
Meemaw: I suppose.
Sheldon: (Amy pats Sheldon's shoulder and smiles at him) I just gave you my virginity, woman. Cool your jets!
Howard: What are you doing? You have a girlfriend.
Raj: So?
Howard: *So*? How do you think she'd feel about you helping a beautiful girl with her screenplay?
Raj: I wouldn't say she's beautiful.
Howard: Really? You don't think she's attractive?
Raj: I do. I just wouldn't tell my girlfriend.
Sheldon: Here's a fun postal fact. Yeh. The inside of our mailbox is under federal jurisdiction. So if you broke my right thumb, that's Pasadena City Police, but if you broke my left thumb, that's the FBI.
Leonard: If I'm going to jail, I'm killing him, not breaking his thumb.
Claire: We're both adults. We can still get together without it meaning anything.
Raj: Not me. Ever since you admitted we had a vibe, I've been planning our wedding.
Amy: Look at you, sitting in Sheldon's spot. You know I don't even get to sit there.
Sheldon: Yes. And you never will.
Notes and Trivia
Meemaw wonders why Penny and Leonard know about Sheldon's nickname "Moonpie" (because he's nummy-nummy and she could just eat him up), while Amy doesn't. The reason is that Penny had to search for Sheldon's flash drive in The Terminator Decoupling (2009), and found a letter from Meemaw where she called him Moonpie. She then made him explain the meaning of the term in exchange for her help.
This is the first (and only) on screen appearance of June Squibb as Sheldon's grandmother, otherwise known as Meemaw.
