(The friends
have been talking about Leonard Hofstadter’s family—including his intimidatingly
brilliant professor mother.)
Sheldon
Cooper (played by Jim
Parsons): “Leonard, I had no idea your siblings were so much more
successful than you.”
Raj
Koothrappali (played
by Kunal Nayyar): “Yeah, you're like the Jar-Jar Binks
of the Hofstadter family.”
Howard
Wolowitz (played
by Simon Helberg): [Imitating
Jar-jar] “Oh, meesa think yousa lookin' so-so sad.”
Leonard
Hofstadter (played
by Johnny Galecki): “You know, rather than mock me, my friends might
realize that this is difficult and try to help me through it.”
Raj:
“Nope, I think mocking you is more fun.”
Howard:
[imitating JarJar] “Next time, don't
yousa bring momma to work, Okee-day?”
[Raj and
Howard laugh]
Leonard:
[Leonard's mother, Beverly—played by Christine
Baranski--comes back from a visit to the bathroom.] “That was fast.”…
Beverly:
“So where were we?”
Leonard:
[to his mother] “Howard lives with
his mother, and Raj can't speak to women unless he's drunk. Go!”
Beverly:
“Well, that's fascinating. Selective mutism is quite rare. On the other hand,
an adult Jewish male living with his mother is so common it borders on
sociological cliché.”
Howard
[sheepishly]: “It's just temporary, I pay
rent.”
Leonard:
“He lives in the same room where his bassinet was.”
Beverly:
“You know, both selective mutism and an inability to separate from one's mother
can stem from a pathological fear of women. It might explain why the two of you
have created an ersatz homosexual marriage to satisfy your need for intimacy.”
Howard:
“Say what?”
[Raj whispers
in Howard's ear]
Howard:
“That's basically what I just said!”
Leonard:
[to Raj] “You brought your husband to
work, you know the rules.[imitating
JarJar.] Meesa thinkin' yousa lookin' pretty sad now too, betcha betcha.”—The Big Bang Theory, Season 2, Episode
