Beverley: Bernadette. How are you coping with Howard's latent homosexual feelings?
Howard: What? I don't – there aren't any – I'm not –
Bernadette: Oh it's not like that. Howie's-
Beverley: Are you sure? His relationship with, 'Raj' is it? Is somewhat questionable.
Bernadette: I can assure you, Howard and Raj are just friends.
Howard: Yeah, I thought this was supposed to be about how I'm an astronaut?
Beverley: You seem to be very uncomfortable with this topic. Is it perhaps that you are insecure about your homosexual feelings?
Howard: I told you I'm straight!
Beverley: Your anger suggests otherwise.
Bernadette: How about we change the subject?
Beverley: Fine. How long have you been married?
Bernadette: Um 4 years.
Beverley: Okay, and what are your full names?
Bernadette: Bernadette Maryann Rostenkowski-Wolowitz.
Howard: Bernie, you told me I'd get to talk about space.
Bernadette: She'll get to it Howie. Be patient.
Howard: Fine.
Beverley: Interesting. From observation you have an almost paternal relationship. Not uncommon in couples. Spouses will often pick partners that have familiar characteristics to their own parents.
Bernadette: That's not true for us. I mean, Howard isn't anything like my father. My dad is an ex-cop who drinks scotch and goes hunting. Howard is a marshmallow.
Howard: Hey!
Beverley: It wasn't your parents I was talking about. I meant Howard's mother.
Howard: You've never met my mother…
Beverley: No, but I have enough evidence from photographs and your relationship with her. I see similarities in your relationship with Bernadette.
Howard: That's not true.
Bernadette: Yeah, I'm nothing like his mother!
Beverley: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend. Shall we move on?
Howard: I think that would be best.
Beverley: Fine. Do you think your stunted growth influenced your decision to marry Bernadette?
Howard: What?
Beverley: Studies have shown that height in men is comparable to advanced stature in other parts of the male body. By that theory, your-
Howard: Hold on. I thought this was a study of high achieving couples so why can't we talk about Bernie's successful career, or when I was an astronaut, or, or the fact that we're having a baby?
Beverley: You say you're having a baby?
Bernadette: Yes, I'm just about three months pregnant
Beverley: Congratulations.
Bernadette: Thanks, we're really excited.
Howard: She's going to be a great mom.
Beverley: I assume my advice would be pointless now.
Bernadette: What advice?
Beverley: Don't have kids.
