Which reminds me:

**Leonard** : Do you have a drink to make him less obnoxious?  
**Penny** : Drinks do not work that way.

**Raj:** Last night I had a dream, we got so rich from the app, we bought matching side by side mansions! But, there was a secret tunnel connecting your front yard to my back yard. What do you think that means?

**Howard:** It means after we’ve played handball I’m showering at home.

I’m drawing a blank on the second half of this quote from Leonard to Penny:

“It annoys the Sheldon when you” (poke the Sheldon?)

That doesn’t sound right though.

I think it’s “It annoys the Sheldon when you annoy the Sheldon.”

Penny, at that point, open her mouth to show a mouthful of food to gross him out.

“Sorry, no, you only get one wish.” (Howard to Raj when they’re visiting churches with Mary Cooper.

During the taping of the final episode of “Fun with Flags” (or so we thought at the time), Sheldon references a Fourth of July episode that apparently went unrecorded. His contention is that Amy didn’t press the “Record” button, while she quietly maintains that she _did_ press it, and continues to apologize every time he brings it up.

At the end of the taping, Sheldon tears up and uses a white flag to dab his eyes. Amy is moved, and comes from behind the camera to say “Sheldon, that was amazing …”

Sheldon (still holding the flag to his eyes): "If you didn’t press “Record” …

Amy: _ **"I PRESSED IT!"** _

Mrs Wolowitz: Does he like the pancakes?!

Bernadette (in a similar voice): He didn’t try them yet!

Howard: Is there any butter?

Bernadette: It’s butter-flavoured syrup.

Howard: Oh.

Mrs Wolowitz: So, what’s the word?

Bernadette: He wants budduh!

Mrs Wolowitz: It’s budduh-flavoured syrup

Bernadette: I just told him that!

Howard: I don’t need any butter.

Bernadette: If you want budduh, I’ll get you budduh.

Howard: Well, I guess I’ll cut these by myself.

“I think it upsets Sheldon when you play with the food.”  
(Penny plays with her food)  
“It upsets Sheldon when you play with the Sheldon.”

Wasn’t it “what’s wrong with me, Penny?”?

I think he said that before he realized the alcohol had loosened his tongue. Once he realized he could talk to her, that’s when he said, “Hi, Penny!” (or maybe “Hello, Penny!”)
