You can't really think this is a good idea. Of course I don't. What am I supposed to do? Go stop him. Get your best friend back. You're my best friend. We don't have time for this! Go! You know, Leonard was really upset. Shouldn't you go talk to him? And send the message that he can get what he wants by throwing a tantrum? I don't think so. Beverly, put down your phone and go apologize to your son. Oh, so now you're not talking to me? When you're finished with your tantrum, I'd be glad to. Just let me know when you're done. Oh, my God. When am I gonna stop trying to win her approval? Every time I'm around her, I turn into this needy little eight-year-old boy. You sound like that now and she's not even here. If I could respond more compassionately than Sheldon... and thank you for making it so easy. The need for a mother's approval is baked into our biology. I know that, it's just... after all these years, you'd think I would have learned. Hmm. It's too bad you didn't. Well, see? Compassion. You okay? Oh, yeah. My neck's a little stiff. Maybe because my boyfriend made me sleep in a comic book store last night. Bet your neck would hurt if you slept in any store. Except maybe a mattress store. I'm sorry, but I couldn't sleep at your place. Mitch was really freaking me out. He was freaking me out, too, but there has to be a better solution. Tonight we'll go back to my place. And tomorrow? With my health being what it is 我的健康这个样子, I try to live one day at a time 活一天算一天. I don't want to blame you, but if you'd moved in with me when I asked you to, we wouldn't be in this situation. You're right. It's my fault. When I had the chance, I was scared and... now that I want to, you're stuck with Mitch. So you do want to move in with me? More than Galactus wants to devour worlds. Well, that's great 'cause I want to move in with you more than the Thing wants to clobber. More than Hulk wants to smash? More than Batman wants to ignore the due process of law. We are so weird. WOLOWITZ: Raj! Stop! (panting) What? What are you doing here? Look... if you're getting on that plane because you love Anu and you... can't stand the thought of spending another day without her... then go. If not... then stay here with...the people who love you. But what if this is my last chance at marriage and family? I promise you it's not. Believe me, somewhere out there is a woman who loves cooking shows and sweater vests and... all the other dumb things you love. You really think so? Yes. And I don't think she's... waiting for you in England. When you propose to someone in Notting Hill... it should be to someone who knows what that movie is. Are you saying... you're just a boy... standing in front of another boy... saying you don't want him to leave? Sure. I love you, buddy. I love you, too. No. No, no, that's not what's happening here. Come on. How'd you get past security? I had to buy a ticket. TBBT: That was exhilarating( If you describe an experience or feeling as exhilarating, you mean that it makes you feel very happy and excited. making you feel extremely happy, excited, and full of energy an exhilarating walk on the cliffs. It was exhilarating to be on the road again and his spirits rose. Falling in love is a heady, exhilarating experience. ). You pick up your dresses? Yep. The tailor had to take mine in and let Penny's out. Best day of my life. What about the day you met me? I stand by my statement.
