  • Howard Wolowitz: I'm, uh... uuh going to be a father.
  • Leonard Hofstadter, Raj Koothrappali: Congratulations.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, no!
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Why 'oh no'?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Because this *changes* everything. What about comic-book night? What about playing games together? What about our trips to Disneyland? How can we do those things with a child around?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Relax; there's room for two babies in this group.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, dear Lor- Penny's pregnant too?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: You're the other baby.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, really? OK, well, would a baby have to shave once every eleven days?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Would an adult refuse to eat his Graham crackers because one of them was broken?
  • Sheldon Cooper: I guess we'll call this a draw.
  • [last lines]
  • Penny Hofstadter: That was such a fun night.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Probably cause you got to see your man up there rocking the mike.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Yeah, yeah. I was a little surprised when you decided to beat box.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Oh, that was really an asthma attack; I just sold it.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Oh, I am so happy for Howard and Bernadette.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Me too. So, you ever think about it?
  • Penny Hofstadter: Babies? I'm not in a rush, but someday, yeah, sure. What about you?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: I think we'd make amazing parents.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Will you guys keep it down?
  • [Sheldon is sprawled on the couch, a beard, moustache, glasses and Harry Potter scar drawn on his face]
  • Penny Hofstadter: On the other hand, we might lack a certain maturity.
  • [She picks up a magic marker]
  • Sheldon Cooper: This place is terrific. Why- why have we never been here before?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Same reason we don't do a lot of fun stuff: you.
  • Sheldon Cooper: That's some smart talk from a guy who can't even keep his face in focus.
  • Sheldon Cooper: You guys, the bathroom here is amazing! There's people cooking in it.
  • Sheldon Cooper: [to Howard and Bernadette] . You're kiddie' me! What kind of maniac has coitus in some else's bedroom?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Forget helium, the real superfluid is the fruit punch in this mug. It reminds me of my daddy's secret "don't tell momma" juice.
  • Howard Wolowitz: Look at this.
  • [takes the cocktail umbrella from his drink]
  • Howard Wolowitz: I bet whoever invented tiny umbrellas doesn't have to worry about money; he can have all the kids he wants
  • Sheldon Cooper: And keep a small portion of their heads dry.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: It'll be fine, people have kids every day. You'll figure this out.
  • Raj Koothrappali: Yeah, come on, this is great news and you know it.
  • Howard Wolowitz: You're right, it is. I'm just a little overwhelmed right now.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Hey, you know what we should do?
  • Sheldon Cooper: All get vasectomies so this doesn't happen to us?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Go out and celebrate!
  • [to Sheldon]
  • Leonard Hofstadter: But not your worst idea.
  • Howard Wolowitz: I shouldn't be raising a kid. I don't even eat my own vegetables.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Buddy, I think you might be overreacting.
  • Howard Wolowitz: And then there's this nose. I mean... What if he looks like me? Or worse... what if she looks like me?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Not to mention the impact on our social circle. Everything's going to change. Howard won't be able to come over as much.
  • Raj Koothrappali: Well, he could bring the baby here.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Then we'd have to baby-proof the apartment. Yeah, my sister has one of those toilet locks in her bathroom. I have two doctorates, I still had to go in the sink.
  • Howard Wolowitz: how expensive having a kid is?
  • Raj Koothrappali: Yeah, I read that in Los Angeles, raising a child through college can cost over a million dollars.
  • Howard Wolowitz: A million dollars? It's like my nuts just kicked me in the nuts.
  • Sheldon Cooper: And if he has twins, we can do all kinds of neat experiments on them.
