Quotes 

• Penny : You asked Stephen Hawking and not her father?

  Sheldon Cooper : Stephen Hawking's a genius. If he said no, I wasn't gonna waste my time on her father.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : But you did ask my father?

  Sheldon Cooper : I did. He said yes. Although not in a robot voice, so it wasn't nearly as cool.

  Penny : Okay. Oh, my god, I can't believe you guys are engaged.

  Sheldon Cooper : We're not engaged yet. She's taking forever to answer.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [irked]  Because you're on the phone!

  Sheldon Cooper : We'll call you back.

  [he hangs up; Leonard hangs up his end, as well; a second later, the phone rings] 

  Sheldon Cooper : She said yes.

• Penny : Hey, where are you?

  Sheldon Cooper : I came to Princeton to see Amy. It's a funny story, actually. I was having lunch with Dr. Nowitzki, and she kissed me.

  Penny : Excuse me?

  Leonard Hofstadter : What?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I'm sorry?

  Sheldon Cooper : And in that moment, I realized that Amy was the only woman I ever wanted to kiss for the rest of my life. So I came to New Jersey to ask her to marry me.

• Leonard Hofstadter : [offering Penny a cake]  Surprise!

  Penny : Oh, crap. Is it our anniversary?

  Leonard Hofstadter : No. Wait.

  [thinking for a moment] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : No.

  Penny : No. All right, so what are we celebrating?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Well, you know, Bernadette and Howard are pregnant again, and Amy and Sheldon are getting married. I didn't want you to feel left out.

  Penny : Oh. Left out? Well, Bernadette has to grow a baby inside of her, and Amy has to marry one. My life is great.

  Leonard Hofstadter : So do you not want the cake?

  Penny : [he moves to take it back]  Try and take it away, see what happens.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [pulling his phone out of his pocket and checking it]  Oh, crap. It is our anniversary.

  Penny : [through a mouthful of cake]  Happy anniversary!

• Penny : Do you think Sheldon's gonna want some weird "Star Trek" wedding?

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : [distracted]  I don't know.

  Penny : Well, Leonard could barely finish the words "Doctor Who wedding cake" before I shut that down hard.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Mm-hmm.

  Penny : Are you listening to me?

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Yeah, you're mean to Leonard. I heard you.

• Bernadette Rostenkowski : Look, I'm gonna tell you something, but you can't freak out because I'm already freaking out.

  Penny : Oh, my god. What is it?

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : I'm pregnant again.

  Penny : Wha...

  [realizing she's about to freak out, she composes herself] 

  Penny : Interesting.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Howard's gonna lose his mind.

  Penny : Wait, you haven't told him yet?

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : No.

  Penny : [touched]  You told me first? Oh, Bernie!

• Bernadette Rostenkowski : This wasn't supposed to happen. We were careful.

  Penny : Yeah, I didn't even think you could get pregnant while you were breastfeeding.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Well, guess what? You can.

  Penny : Okay, look... look, this is a good thing. Halley's gonna have a little brother or sister to play with.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : I guess that would be pretty cute.

  Penny : And, you know, I was a surprise to my parents, and my dad said it was the best thing that ever happened to them.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Okay. Maybe this baby actually is a blessing.

  Penny : Oh, my god, honey, of course it is.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : [pause]  How am I pregnant again?

  Penny : Yeah, what were you thinking?

• Leonard Hofstadter : So, how are you guys doing with all the new events in your... womb?

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Good, you know? Obviously, it was a surprise. There was some crying and some yelling.

  Howard Wolowitz : Some suggestion of make-up sex that did not go over well, even though it's not like we can get more pregnant.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : But then we realized that it's a gift, in the sense that we didn't ask for it, and we may not have chosen it...

  Howard Wolowitz : And we already have one.

  Penny : You know, whenever I find a top I like, I always go back and get a second one in a different color.

  [realizing what her statement sounds like] 

  Penny : Which I hope is not the case for your baby.

• Leonard Hofstadter : I know you guys are freaked out, but you're great parents, and if you ever need help, we are here for you.

  Penny : Yeah. Anything at all, just ask.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Ooh, you know what you could do? You could have a baby, too.

  Penny : I'm sorry, what?

  Howard Wolowitz : No, that's a great idea. We could go through it together. Wouldn't that be fun?

  Leonard Hofstadter : You guys were just saying how freaked out and miserable you are.

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : I say a lot of crazy things. I'm pregnant and hormonal. Do it! Have a baby, do it!

  Howard Wolowitz : Come on, it'd be so cute, our kids playing together? What do you say? Why don't you two hit the old mattress and whip up a family?

  Penny : Okay, we're not gonna have a baby just to make you guys feel better.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah. If we're gonna have a baby, it's gonna be when we are ready, or when I'm certain Penny is gonna leave me.

  Penny : Exactly.
