Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Beverly Hofstadter: I've been responsible for my own orgasms since 1982.

Beverly Hofstadter: *laughs*
Penny: What's so funny?
Beverly Hofstadter: That's exactly what I say during orgasms: "yikes".

Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Beverly Hofstadter: How did his penis turn out?
Penny: Oh, Beverly. I can't talk to my boyfriend's mother about his penis.
Beverly Hofstadter: Fair enough. What, if anything, can you tell me about that busboy's penis?

Quote from Penny

Penny: Come on, I mean, you're not upset that your marriage is over?
Beverly: Well, initially I felt something akin to grief and perhaps anger, but that's the natural reaction of the limbic system to being betrayed by a loathsome son of a bitch.
Penny: Sure, sure.

Quote from Raj

Raj: You think your thoughts are pure gold, but let me tell you something they are pure caca.

Quote from Leonard

Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Leonard: I just don't understand why he knows more about your life than I do.

Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Beverly Hofstadter: Oh, did I thank you for the flowers?

Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Beverly Hofstadter: She's a remarkable girl. The youngest appeals court judge in New Jersey and a two-time Olympic gold medallist.
Leonard: You must be very happy.
Beverly Hofstadter: Why? I'm not marrying her.

Quote from Beverly Hofstadter

Leonard: Wait, wait, wait. You had surgery?
Beverly Hofstadter: Yes, and Sheldon sent me flowers.
