- Sheldon Cooper: I do take your point. You know, you're also married, you have a successful career, you no longer dress like you're trying to attract sailors by the wharf.
- Penny Hofstadter: So, I guess the only thing that actually stays the same is that things are always changing.
- Sheldon Cooper: Interesting. So you're saying the inevitability of change might be a universal constant.
- Penny Hofstadter: Well, there's a little more to it than that, but, yeah, sure.
- Sheldon Cooper: [seeing Howard and Bernie on CNN] Oh. Hey, look, that's Bernadette.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: I can't tell you how many times Dr. Fowler was gonna give up and I would say to her "Amy, as your best friend, I'm not gonna let you quit."
- Penny Hofstadter: Okay, I'm drinking again.
- Sheldon Cooper: I'll join you. Waitress, uh, 95% Hawaiian Punch, 5% vodka.
- Howard Wolowitz: Let me tell you about the time Mr. Nobel Laureate wanted olives...
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: [laughing] This is a good one.
- Sheldon Cooper: [calling to the waitress] You know what? 90/10!
- Sheldon Cooper: What do you want, Howard?
- Howard Wolowitz: We were just calling to see if you'd heard yet.
- Sheldon Cooper: We haven't.
- Amy Farrah Fowler: But thank you for getting up so early to call. That was very thoughtful.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Oh, please. We have two little kids. We've been up for an hour.
- Howard Wolowitz: Did anyone get to slap Sheldon?
- Leonard Hofstadter: [disappointed] No.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Why is this article about Sheldon all about you?
- Howard Wolowitz: [looking over her shoulder] Let me see. Oh, good, they used my NASA picture.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Why does it say that you're his best friend? Leonard's his best friend.
- Howard Wolowitz: No. Leonard has always been kind of a... monkey butler. Whenever Sheldon got into a scrape, I was his go-to guy.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: When did he get into a scrape?
- Howard Wolowitz: You're kidding, right? W-... remember when he had a panic attack 'cause his hand got caught in a jar of olives? I was the one who told him to let go of the olives.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Please, that doesn't make you his best friend.
- Howard Wolowitz: You know, that reporter asked me if I could put him in touch with... Amy's best friend.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: That's Penny.
- Howard Wolowitz: [sing-song] Doesn't have to be.
