Quotes:
[Leonard's mother Beverly, a neuroscientist and psychoanalyst, is visiting]
Sheldon Cooper: Your mother is brilliant, analytical, insightful - and I'm betting she never hit you with a Bible because you wouldn't eat your Brussels sprouts.
Leonard Hofstadter: Sheldon, you don't give your mother enough credit. She's warm, she's loving, she doesn't glue electrodes to your head to measure your brain waves while potty training.
Sheldon Cooper: You were lucky! When I was a kid, if I wanted an EEG, I had to attach my *own* electrodes.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is definitely the best and funniest TV episode ever made. All of the friends episodes can suck in front of it best parts: 1. the intro - got to be the funniest intro 2. the hypothesis of Leonards mother that Howard and Raj are gay 3. Howard and Raj acting like a couple when they are actually trying to show they are not one 4. Penny crying within 5 minutes of meeting Leonards mum 5. Leonard holding his penis and never letting go 6. frequency with which leonards parents had sex 7. leonards mom wanting to urinate 8. bladder voiding like real estate is all about location, location, location 9. howard trying to find his "sound"

and more and more
