Quotes 

• Mrs. Fowler : This is taking too long. I bet that Sheldon stood my baby up.

  [She gets up to leave] 

  Penny Hofstadter : Uh, excuse me. Where-where are you going?

  Mrs. Fowler : This whole thing was a big mistake. I'm gonna find Amy and get her out of here.

  Penny Hofstadter : [Firmly, pointing to her chair]  Sit down!

  Mrs. Fowler : [walks closer to her]  Excuse me?

  Penny Hofstadter : Sheldon loves Amy, and he would never hurt her on her wedding day, or *any* other day,

  [points at her chair again] 

  Penny Hofstadter : so *park it*.

  [Mrs. Fowler sits down; Mary stands and begins a slow hand clap] 

  Penny Hofstadter : Oh, you siddown, too.

  Mrs. Fowler : [to Larry]  Are you going to let her talk to me like that? Well, say something!

  Larry Fowler : [to Penny, quietly]  Thank you.

• Penny Hofstadter : Uh, Mr. Fowler, are you okay back there? Do you need more air?

  Mrs. Fowler : [before he can say anything]  He's fine. I'm surprised Amy didn't pick us up.

  Penny Hofstadter : Oh, well, you know, she's pretty busy the day before her wedding.

  Mrs. Fowler : Too busy for her mother? She used to be such a devoted daughter. Now she's just waiting for me to die so she can get my china.

• Penny Hofstadter : [Walking in past everyone, exasperated]  Oh my God!

  Mrs. Fowler : [Entering behind her]  There's mama's girl.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Hi, mom.

  Mrs. Fowler : [hugging her]  Oh! Oh, Larry, look at her! Can you believe our little lamb is finally getting married?

  [before he can speak] 

  Mrs. Fowler : He can't believe it. And neither can I.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [they hug again]  Hi, dad. How you doing?

  [behind his wife's back, Mr. Fowler pantomimes hanging himself and stops quickly when she turns around] 

• Mrs. Fowler : And did you know that my Amy played Amelia Earhart in the eighth grade?

  Penny Hofstadter : Amy, you never said you were in a school play.

  Mrs. Fowler : Oh, no, no, at home. I'd never let her do a school play. Those kids just take drugs and have intercourse.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [Penny holds up her wine glass and Leonard refills it without missing a beat]  You know, Amy still does some performing. She and Sheldon do an Internet show about flags.

  Mrs. Fowler : Amy? V-Videos on the Internet? You know what men use those for.

  Raj Koothrappali : If you're talking about "Fun with Flags", I use it to go to sleep.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, you're awfully quiet. Are you okay?

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh! Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about string theory. Catch me up. What'd I miss?

  Mrs. Fowler : Are you seeing this, Larry? These are the people I'm gonna have to live with after you're dead.
