Quotes

Amy: (about soon-to-be-born Halley Wolowitz) She's supposed to ruin their sex life, not mine.

Sheldon: Earlier tonight, things began organically and now it's feeling forced, like all the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.

Sheldon: It's not just an MRI. The orbitofrontal cortex is lit up because I was thinking of you.

Nurse Althea: Now, I see three of you. Do we know the father, or is this some "Mama Mia" nonsense?

Howard: Oh, man, this is really happening. You doing OK?
Bernadette: Here comes another contraction.
Stuart: Let's pick it up!
Raj: All right, hold on. I'm going to drive like we do in India.
(rolls down the window, honks and yells)
Raj: Get out of the way, you syphilitic dogs!
Howard: Stop that. This isn't India.
Raj: Fine. What do one point three billion people know about having babies?
Howard: Sorry, I know you were just trying to help.
(to Bernadette)
Howard: I love you.
Raj: I love you too; we're good.

Amy: Wow, that was quite a day.
Sheldon: It was. Bernadette had her baby; I made it to wizarding world, and now it is time to complete your birthday celebration.
(waves wand)
Sheldon: Hankius pankius.
Amy: I was afraid you'd be too tired.
Sheldon: Amy, I just saw a magic train, and reported somebody for cutting the line. If that's not foreplay, I don't know what is.

Penny: Does the baby have a name yet?
Howard: We, hah, named her Halley.
Leonard: Ohhh.
Penny: Oh, like Halley's comet.
Howard: Exactly. Also like the comet Bernadette said she's not going to have sex with me for another seventy-five years.

Sheldon: This is for you. I was going to wrap it, but touching Scotch Tape gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Amy: I'll put it on the list with peaches and felt.

Notes and Trivia

Baby Halley's cries are voiced by Pamela Adlon, who was a friend of Carol Ann Susi who voiced Howard's mother, Mrs. Wolowitz, until she passed away in 2014. Adlon was briefly considered to take over the role of Mrs. Wolowitz before it was decided to have the character pass away in the show as well, although Adlon did later voice Mrs. Wolowitz in A Swedish Science Thing and the Equation for Toast (2019).

Howard and Bernadette name their daughter Halley, after Halley's comet. Appropriately, her father Howard is an astronaut, and her godfather Raj is an astrophysicist.

In keeping with the tradition of never showing the late Mrs. Wolowitz in full on screen, Howard and Bernadette's baby Halley is only heard but never seen in the show either, until the final episode.

Title Reference: the birthdays of Amy and Halley (Howard and Bernadette's newborn) falling on the same day, December 17.
