Quotes

Bernadette: (the baby is crying loudly) Please stop crying, I'm begging you. I don't know what else to do. My boobs are empty; do you want lasagna?

Bernadette: How come Stuart can get her to stop crying but I can't?
Howard: It's Stuart. Maybe she's playing possum until he goes away.

Sheldon: (Referring to his mother being okay with him and Amy "living in sin" together) Really? Where's the judgment? Where's the fire and brimstone? Where's the part where you say we're going to Hell, and I point to the window and say, "Have you seen the size of the bugs outside? We're already there."?

Sheldon: Well, I was her special little boy, and she did take my flower.
Penny: Do boys have flowers?
Leonard: Who knows what he has down there?

Sheldon: I got an earring.
(flashback: Sheldon gets his ear pierced)
Sheldon: AAAAHH!
(Present)
Sheldon: My mother made me take it out.
(Flashback: Amy helps pull it off)
Sheldon: AAAAHH!
(Present)
Sheldon: Amy put alcohol on it.
(Flashback: she does)
Sheldon: AAAAHH!

Penny: Hey, can you help me put some of the food out?
Leonard: Uh, let me finish packing this stuff up. You know how Sheldon is if he sees Christmas stuff lying around after New Years.
Penny: Yeah, but he doesn't live here anymore.
Leonard: He doesn't live at Walmart, but he still threw a tantrum when he saw Marshmallow Peeps after Easter.And that's the same man who complains you can't find Marshmallow Peeps after Easter!
Penny: (Penny gets a text on her phone) Oh, its Bernadette. She says they're running late. The baby threw up on Howard, and then Howard threw up on Howard.
Leonard: Well, he didn't throw up on the baby. That's a win.

Penny: How was Texas?
Sheldon: Oh, you know, the Lone Star State. That should be its Yelp rating.

Amy: That was fun; thank you.
Bernadette: Yeah, thanks.
Penny: Our pleasure.
Leonard: See you guys at work.
Raj: Be there bright and early.
Howard: Not me; paternity leave.
Sheldon: Agh. A small human wreaks havoc on his wife's genitals, and he gets time off.
Howard: With pay, sucka!
(they leave and Sheldon and Penny start to clear up. Then Howard returns)
Howard: Forgot the baby. Still new to this.

Bernadette: (Enters with Howard and Halley) Hello, we're here.
Penny: Aw, it's the little family.
(Raj and Stuart enter carrying baby stuff)
Raj: Hello.
Leonard: And their sherpas.

Sheldon: I was acting odd intentionally.
Bernadette: Really? So you can control it?

Sheldon: We've known about evolution since 1859; she still believes in Noah and his amazing zoo boat.

Penny: What did Sheldon look like with an earring?
Amy: Like the pirate who helps the other pirates connect to the internet.

Amy: I'm your girlfriend. By saying you're a weirdo, she's saying I'm a weirdo too.
Sheldon: She is not.
Sheldon: (In present) And?
Amy: That's exactly what she was saying.

Sheldon: Amy and I are living together in sin like a couple of New Yorkers.

Amy: (Sheldon has stormed off to his room) He's been in there a long time. Should I go talk to him?
Mary Cooper: He's upset with me; I should be the one who talks to him.
(she continues knitting)
Amy: Are you going to?
Mary Cooper: Oh heck no.

Mary Cooper: Shelly, how do I put this? By your third birthday you had memorized over a thousand different kinds of trains... and I never imagined a woman getting aboard any of them.
Sheldon: What's a... You thought I was going to be alone for the rest my life?
Mary Cooper: No, just for the middle part. At the end I assumed there'd be nurses.
Sheldon: This is highly insulting!
Amy: Sheldon, don't over-react.
Sheldon: I'm the child she was worried about! I have a brother and sister whose combined intellectual wattage couldn't power a potato clock! If I spotted them the potato!

Notes and Trivia

The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series.

The name of the man working at Sparkletts wearing an eye patch (the one that Sheldon asked if he could look behind it) mentioned in The Separation Oscillation (2015), is revealed to be Omar.

The T-shirt Sheldon is wearing with a waveform on it is actually from an poorly maintained vinyl recording. You can see at least five scratch high points on it. There would be no scratches if the sound file came from a CD.

This is the sixth Christmas episode in the series; the others are The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis (2008), The Maternal Congruence (2009), The Santa Simulation (2012), The Cooper Extraction (2013), and The Clean Room Infiltration (2014),

We learn from Stuart that he has a brother and sister, and that he still has a grandmother, even though he said in The Friendship Contraction (2012) that his grandparents were dead.
