  • Mary Cooper: Let me straighten your tie.
  • Sheldon Cooper: No, no, no, it's all right. It's supposed to be a little asymmetrical. Apparently, a small flaw somehow improves it.
  • Mary Cooper: I can see that. Sometime's it's the... imperfect stuff that makes things perfect.
  • Sheldon Cooper: [a thought strikes him] Excuse me.
  • [he hurries out of the room]
  • Mary Cooper: Case in point.
  • Mary Cooper: I wish your dad could see you now.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Me, too. I miss him.
  • Mary Cooper: He would be so proud of you. I know that I am.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Thank you. I mean, for everything. My whole life.
  • Mary Cooper: Oh.
  • [She and Sheldon embrace with tears]
  • Mary Cooper: Thank you again for picking us up.
  • Raj Koothrappali: Oh, my pleasure, Mrs. Cooper.
  • Mary Cooper: You know, our driver to the airport was also an Indian fella.
  • Missy: Mom...
  • Mary Cooper: Oh, so now it's racist to notice when somebody's Indian.
  • Raj Koothrappali: I don't think it's racist. I noticed you were both white.
  • Mary Cooper: You'll have to excuse her. She's just pregnant and hormonal.
  • Raj Koothrappali: Oh, yeah, congratulations on baby number two.
  • Missy: [sarcastic] Yeah. Whoopie.
  • Mary Cooper: Her husband would be here, but he stayed home to watch their older son, so e-everything's fine.
  • Missy: Stop it.
  • [to Raj]
  • Missy: We're separated.
  • Raj Koothrappali: [his interest piqued] You don't say.
  • Mark Hamill: We are gathered here today in the sight of family, friends, and Almighty God.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, that's too religious.
  • Mark Hamill: That lady over there made me say it.
  • Mary Cooper: [Sheldon and Amy turn to look at her] He heard you, and He can't un-hear you.
