Quick poll: PS4 or Xbox One? Raj?
Xbox One.
Penny?
Huh?
Leonard?
PS4.
Wolowitz?
Both are great.
Bernadette?
BernadetteI like the Wii!
Thanks grandma.
Bernadette[Was singing to "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" when Sheldon turns off the radio] Why did you turn it off?
Because in the last ten minutes, Santa Claus came to town, kissed Mommy and ran Grandma over with a reindeer. I have a drunk uncle who did all those things and no one sings songs about him.
BernadetteWell, maybe it would help if you thought of him as a superhero whose superpower is bringing joy to children.
My uncle did that too. It turned out to be legal in Oklahoma.
[Howard and Bernadette come in from the back room, mid-conversation]
...I'm sorry, but it's making me crazy.
BernadetteCan you please just let it go?
Ooh, I can help you with that. Imagine you're holding an ordinary pen - while your favourite pen is safe and secure in your pocket.
[Howard's phone rings]
Hold that thought. [goes off to answer it in the next room] Hello?
[To Leonard and Penny] How can I make this up to you?
[angrily putting both fists together] The answer is in this puzzle box, let's see if you can open it!
[She and Leonard walk away, while Bernadette goes to Stuart]
BernadetteYou could have at least warned him about the furniture.
That's what I said when we moved it!
BernadetteYou helped him!?
[sarcastically] No. Stuart picked up those three pillows all on his own.
[Howard returns from his phone call, looking visibly shaken]
Hey, you okay?
[in a dazed voice] No...
What's wrong?
...My mom died.
[All heads turn towards him in shock]
BernadetteWhat!?
That was my aunt. Ma took a nap and... She never woke up.
Bernadette[beginning to cry] Oh my God, Howie...
[She embraces him, while the rest of the group solemnly gather round, Penny visibly looking on the verge of tears as well]
I'm so sorry.
What can we do?
I don't know...
[He sits down in an armchair and buries his face in his hands]
May I say something?
[sadly] Not right now, Sheldon.
But I think it would be comforting.
Buddy -
It's okay... [looks up at him] What?
When I lost my own father, I didn't have any friends to help me through it. You do.
[Howard gives him a weak smile, while the others remain in shocked silence, both from the news and the fact that Sheldon has said something genuinely supportive]
[breaking down] I really thought he was gonna say "let it go."
Oh, man. This is the boutonnière from my high school prom. A piece of cake from my Bar Mitzvah.
BernadetteDid she throw anything away?
No. If I find my foreskin, I'm gonna kill myself.
Ooh, you just chose champions. It's like we're re-enacting the ancient German practice of trial by combat.
It's also like when the Mountain fought the Red Viper in Game of Thrones.
BernadetteLeonard makes you watch that, too?
No, I like that show. It's got dragons and people doing it.
BernadetteHe spent an entire date talking about how much he loves Sheldon.
It's nothing Sheldon hasn't done before.
Hey, so I saw a movie trailer the other day, How could Batman possibly fight Superman? Isn't that dumb!
BernadetteMaybe he uses kryptonite.
Well, Batman's got a lot of money; maybe he builds a suit that can do everything Superman can do.
No, no, no, no, no, I've seen that movie. It's called Iron Man.
[the guys are stupefied]
What is happening?
I don't know.
But it's beautiful.
How's Ben Affleck as Batman?
Oh, he was great in Shakespeare in Love.
Ooh, we should watch that next girls' night.
BernadetteWe could do a double feature with the Leonardo DiCaprio Romeo and Juliet.
Oh, I love me some Leo.
And it's gone.
Should we name him?
BernadetteIt is Valentine's Day. How about Valentino?
Nice. A classic rabbit name. Peter Rabbit, Roger Rabbit. Valentino Wolowitz Rabbit. Oh, look at all that chest hair and overbite. Of course you're a Wolowitz.
BernadetteI left my phone downstairs!
Dammit, so did I!
BernadetteI have my iPad.
What are you going to do, email 911?!
[after feeling the baby kicking] There's a baby in there!
BernadetteOh yeah, that's where I put it.
Ever since I met Penny, I've been envious of her looks.
Awww. Thank you.
That's why I was so happy when you cut your hair off.
WHAT?!?
You know what I mean. You were still hot, but more like a "Why'd that hot girl cut off all her hair?" hot.
[to Leonard] Well, you liked my short hair, right?
Yeah, I... loved it. Love you, love the hair, would love to change the subject.
[to the group] Seriously? None of you liked it?
[pause]
BernadetteI thought it was brave. Does that count as liking it?
You know, how come nobody's talking about Howard's dopey haircut?
BernadetteI think he looks cute.
I think you're cure.
I think you're both cute.
I think I hate all of you nerds!
[recapping Sheldon's story for Bernadette] They told Mary they were living together, there was a fight, he got his feelings hurt, then he put underwear on his head --
On purpose. Not the way it used to happen in high school.
I was acting odd intentionally.
BernadetteReally? So you can control it?
[Bernadette is upset that Stuart has stopped the baby's crying after she failed.]
Bernadette[in tears] How come Stuart can get her to stop crying, but I can't?
It's Stuart. Maybe she's playing possum until he goes away.
BernadetteNot funny.
She's tired. That was funny.
Hey, can I ask you a question? You've been married for a while. Is it normal for the husband to completely stop giving a crap?
BernadetteUh-oh, what's going on?
Well, Leonard used to do all these things, like bring me flowers and wear pants.
