The Big Bang Theory · Season 2, Episode 15

Leonard, Beverly and others in “The Maternal Capacitance”

Leonard

[attempting to get back at Howard and Raj, who were asking Beverly to talk about Leonard's more successful siblings] Howard lives with his mother, and Raj can't speak to women unless he's drunk. Go!

Beverly

Oh, 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

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?
