The Big Bang Theory

Leonard, when are you leaving

to pick your mother up from the airport?

Uh, well, let's see, her plane gets in at 3:00,

figure half hour to get her luggage,

so... never.

Never?

Isn't that usually when you go to the gym?

Are you really not gonna pick up your mother?

No-- it's fine, she likes to take a cab or a shuttle.

That way she can meet people.

Well, that's kind of nice.

Yeah, she always says that a stranger is just

a person whose emotional weak point

you haven't found yet.

Your mom is the best.

Oh, maybe I should pick her up.

You don't drive.

That's what makes you and me a great team.

Go get your keys.

You can't pick her up.

It'll make me look like a bad son.

I imagine that's one of the things

we'll talk about on the ride.

That and Amy's recent reluctance

to use turn signals.

We were in a parking garage.

Come on, she gave birth to you.

Fine, I'll pick her up.

- Good, I'll go with you. - I call back seat.

Oh, I don't want to be the only one who doesn't go.

I'll just sit here afraid that you're all talking about me.

We're not gonna talk about you.

Well, that's my other fear.

This is crazy. I can pick her up by myself.

So it's just you?

Season 12 Episode 22 Episode Title: "The Maternal Conclusion".

How was your flight?

There were some parents with a baby.

A lot of crying.

Well, babies do that.

No, it was the parents.

It seems they couldn't handle some constructive criticism.

Hey, on a completely unrelated note, um,

you know, if you'd rather stay at a hotel,

we wouldn't be offended.

Actually, I've been looking forward to staying with you.

Really? It's just, normally, you stay at a hotel.

Would you like me to stay at a hotel?

- No, no, no. - I...

I invited you to stay with us.

And I accepted,

so everyone is happy.

Yep.

I'm happy, you're happy...

...everyone's happy.

How come we never eat in the dining room?

Oh, that's for company.

What am I?

Apparently, a guy who wants to have his feelings hurt.

When does Anu come back from London?

Next week. But it's been good, you know?

Really given me a chance to focus on myself.

How's that going?

I didn't like what I saw, got in my car, drove over here.

- Hey, guys. - Hey. - Hey.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you had company.

It's all right, neither did they.

Is Stuart home?

No, he's at work.

The last juice. I'm gonna add it to the list.

That's whose handwriting that is.

I've noticed she's been over here a lot lately.

You know how you noticed that?

Because you're over here a lot lately.

She has slept over every night this week.

Uh, no, no, she wasn't here Wednesday night.

Yes, she was. You didn't notice because you were in the hot tub

in the backyard eating Oreos.

That reminds me.

Oreos.

Really?

A photon entanglement team.

Yeah, I-I'm actually the colead.

Yeah, if you like photons and how they get entangled,

he's your co-guy.

I would enjoy seeing your lab.

Oh. Yeah, sure.

Uh, if you want, you can come tomorrow.

I look forward to it.

Well, I think I'm going to turn in.

Good night, Penny.

Good night, dear.

- Good night. - Night, Beverly.

Wow, she's being really nice.

Yeah, clearly, one of us is dying.

Come on, her.

Or you accomplished something great,

and she's genuinely proud.

Yeah, all right, you've had enough.

Hi.

- Hey. - Oh, it's so good

to see your face.

H-How's the concierge conference?

You guys just get theater tickets

for each other all day long?

It's going great,

and the company put me in a nice place in Notting Hill.

Notting Hill? Like the movie?

Uh, "I'm just a boy standing in front of a girl saying..."

you better bring me home a T-shirt.

I can't wait for you to come home.

Actually, that's one of the reasons I called.

They offered me a management position.

That's amazing. T-That's your dream.

It's here in London.

Oh.

And they want me to start right away.

What does that mean for us?

Well, how committed are you to staying in California?

This is where my work is, this is where my friends are.

But are you happy?

Not for years. What's your point?

All right, I got to head out to my drawing class.

Fruit or naked dudes?

Actually, it doesn't matter, I'm jealous of both.

- I'll see you tonight? - Yeah.

So she's coming over again, huh?

Yeah, we're gonna do a movie night.

It's my house. Don't you... think you should ask me?

You're right, I'm sorry.

Howard, would you like to come to movie night?

Doesn't she have her own place?

Why don't you guys hang out there?

Oh, she has a roommate,

and he's kind of creepy.

A-And that's coming from me.

It just feels like Denise is basically living with us.

You know, maybe you can spend half the time at her place.

Hey, when I moved in, you and Bernadette said it was okay

if I brought girls over.

Oh. We were making fun of you.

And this is a high-pulse laser with a BBO crystal.

It's pretty cool.

It emits photons in discrete bursts.

Huh. Very impressive.

But...?

But what, dear?

Oh, I don't know.

It's just, usually there's a "but"

followed by something that makes me feel bad.

Ah, Beverly, there you are.

Sheldon, how nice to see you.

Leonard was just showing me his new lab.

Oh, yes, experimental physics,

the carpentry of the science world. Well...

I'm here to rescue you from the boredom.

Not necessary. This is really quite interesting.

But...?

But nothing.

Oh. Well, if you want to see something really interesting,

I could show you my work,

which is being talked about for a Nobel Prize.

Oh, well, I'd love to see it later,

but right now, I'm spending time with my son.

Ha! I knew there was a "but"... wait, what?

Ready?

You sure I didn't need to see Paddington 1?

He's a bear, he talks, no one knows why.

You're all caught up.

Push play.

May I join you?

Oh. Hey, Mitch, I didn't see you there.

Really? I've been standing here the whole time.

Well, sure. Yeah, join us.

Movie's up there.

I've seen it.

It's wonderful.

So she's staying in London?

What does that mean for your relationship?

It's great.

I can see why she would say that, but why do you?

Well, we got into this because we both wanted

to get married, and honestly, we've been dragging our feet,

and I think this is the push that we need.

Wait, so you're gonna ask her to marry you?

Why not?

We like each other, plus,

we both want to start a family.

Hey, I can work from anywhere, I'm an astronomer.

They have stars in London,

and I'm not just talking about Dame Judi Dench.

No one thought you were.

I thought he was.

So you're really gonna move halfway across the world?

If she says yes,

and if that's what she wants to do, then yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, I know. I'm flying out tomorrow.

I'm gonna surprise her with a ring.

You already have a ring?
