Quotes
Sheldon: You really think you might get cold feet?
Amy: Actually, I was talking about you.
Sheldon: Amy, if there's one thing in this world I'm sure of, you are right to be worried. Goodnight.
Amy: I'm having trouble picking between Penny and Bernadette
Sheldon: Both are blonde, former waitresses, married beneath them
Howard: (referring to Sheldon and Amy) Are they acting strange?
Leonard: I don't think they're acting
Leonard: Sheldon gave me a brain-teaser. It's kind of fun. It's about a group of people at dinner, and you have to figure out where they can sit without fighting.
Leonard: Why can't Amy take you?
Sheldon: Because of the tradition of I can't see her the day the train's for sale
Leonard: Please see a doctor
Howard: (about a Swamp thing figure) It's a little expensive
Sheldon: What if it would make me happy to have it? Knowing I would wake up seeing it every morning for the rest of my life
Howard: Really? A dried clump of swamp grass?
Sheldon: Well Bernadette's no prize either
Amy: I don't have any secrets from you, do you have any secrets from me?
Sheldon: Yes, that's been weighing on me for years, come here
(he hugs her)
Howard: What you did was wrong and cruel, which the mother of my children finds oddly appealing.
Amy: So she still wants to be my maid of honor?
Howard: Maid of honor, hit-woman, whatever you need. Make the call.
Howard: (Sheldon had offered flower girl to Stuart) I thought Halley was going to be your flower girl
Sheldon: That makes more much sense, sorry Stuart, you're out
Penny: Hey, Halley can't reach the liquor cabinet. Why did you baby-proof it?
Howard: How did you know that we did?
Amy: (testing to see how well their friends know them) I was talking to my favorite aunt
Penny: Aunt Felda right?
Amy: Yeah
Penny: Did she ever figure what that thing on her knee was?
Amy: Turned out to be a chocolate chip
Penny: That makes sense, she does love to bake
Amy: She does, you are a thoroughbred!
Penny: Tell everyone your big news
Leonard: I'm starting a book
Sheldon: That would be news from Penny, you've read a book before
Sheldon: I don't know how I feel about all this baby-proofing, if Halley can't teach herself to walk down the stairs, maybe that's nature's way of saying the Wolowitz line ends here
Raj: Really? I thought Howard was nature's way of saying the Wolowitz line ends here
Stuart: Can I interest you in a cappuccino?
Sheldon: When did you start selling those?
Stuart: Someone left it here, but it's still warm.
Leonard: Hey, whatcha making?
Penny: Well, I spilled the cheese packet, so we're having mac & nothing.
Leonard: I'll just have the mac. Nothing gives me gas.
