00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:26,358
What took you so long?

179
00:07:27,534 --> 00:07:29,579
It's kind of what
bonded these characters.
Yeah.

180
00:07:29,623 --> 00:07:31,494
They eat. They sit down
and eat together.

181
00:07:31,538 --> 00:07:34,192

Thanks, Grandma.

188
00:07:48,729 --> 00:07:50,382
Where do we start
with guest stars?

189
00:07:50,426 --> 00:07:53,124
We've had so many
amazing people.John Ross Bowie

191
00:07:55,736 --> 00:07:57,172
Would you like a cup?

192
00:07:57,215 --> 00:07:58,652
Am I wearing a
summer frock?

193
00:07:58,695 --> 00:08:00,305
No, I don't
want tea.

194
00:08:01,393 --> 00:08:02,786

198
00:08:11,447 --> 00:08:12,230
That was a big deal for me. CUOCO: Oh.

199
00:08:12,274 --> 00:08:13,493
Katey Sagal as my mom.

200
00:08:13,536 --> 00:08:16,060
Miss Baranski. Oh.Laurie Metcalf.

201
00:08:16,104 --> 00:08:17,584
Let's all remember what
it says in the Bible.

202
00:08:17,627 --> 00:08:20,021
"He who is slow to anger

203
00:08:20,064 --> 00:08:22,153
is better than the mighty."

204
00:08:22,197 --> 00:08:25,069
Oh, dear woman, can you please
read another book?

205
00:08:26,331 --> 00:08:28,377
When God writes one,
I will.

206
00:08:30,335 --> 00:08:32,816
Adam West.Batman finally came
to your party.

207

210
00:08:39,214 --> 00:08:41,869
You like Star Wars.

211

CUOCO:
Billy Bob Thornton. Does Penny live here?

212
00:08:46,438 --> 00:08:48,223
May I ask why?

213
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:50,573
Well, uh, I-I met her
at my office.

214
00:08:50,617 --> 00:08:52,836
She winked at me a-and, uh...

215
00:08:54,011 --> 00:08:55,926
I, I-I came hoping

216
00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:59,930
to initiate
a romantic relationship.

217
00:08:59,974 --> 00:09:01,497
Stephen Hawking,
of course.
Oh.

218
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,369
You made an arithmetic mistake
on page two.

219
00:09:04,413 --> 00:09:07,590
It was quite the boner.

220
00:09:07,634 --> 00:09:09,287
I had to actually
say the line--

221
00:09:09,331 --> 00:09:11,551
He's the wheelchair dude
who invented time.

222
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:15,511
He's right there
watching the rehearsal.Mm-hmm.

223
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,253
And I say this line, I just look
at him like, "I'm so sorry."

224
00:09:18,296 --> 00:09:19,689
He thought it
was so funny.

225
00:09:19,733 --> 00:09:21,256
But he was right there.I remember Simon

226
00:09:21,299 --> 00:09:24,389
being very nervous
to do his impersonation.

227
00:09:24,433 --> 00:09:25,956
I would not do your
Stephen Hawking

228
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,262
impression in
front of him.

229
00:09:27,305 --> 00:09:28,611
I suppose that could be

230
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:31,571
considered offensive.[laughter]

231
00:09:31,614 --> 00:09:34,182
Speaking of Simon's
impersonations.

232
00:09:34,225 --> 00:09:35,313
Oh, his Pacino.

233
00:09:35,357 --> 00:09:37,620
[gruff]:
You're playing D&D.

234
00:09:37,664 --> 00:09:39,666
You're playing D&D.

235
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:42,494
This whole apartment...

236
00:09:43,713 --> 00:09:46,455

00:09:48,675 --> 00:09:50,024
CUOCO:

Bill Gates was great.

239

[voice breaking]:
Ever since I was a little kid,

240
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,463
I've looked up
to you like... like a hero.

241
00:09:54,506 --> 00:09:55,551
Would you
like a tissue?

242
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:57,422
How about a hug?

243
00:09:57,466 --> 00:10:00,338
How-how about a tissue?

244
00:10:00,382 --> 00:10:02,427
CUOCO:
Steve Wozniak, Elon Musk.

245
00:10:02,471 --> 00:10:04,429
We had a lot of Nobel Laureates on the show.

00:10:04,473 --> 00:10:06,301
GALECKI:
Three, at least. Buzz Aldrin.

247
00:10:06,344 --> 00:10:09,260
I walked on the moon.

248
00:10:09,304 --> 00:10:12,002
What have you done?

249
00:10:12,046 --> 00:10:14,875
Carol Ann Susi, I have
to give special tribute to.

250
00:10:14,918 --> 00:10:18,052
She played, uh,
the voice of Howard's mom.

251
00:10:18,095 --> 00:10:19,314
[bang]MRS. WOLOWITZ:
Howard,

252
00:10:19,357 --> 00:10:21,490
I'm home!

253
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:24,014
MRS. WOLOWITZ:
Sheldon!

254
00:10:24,058 --> 00:10:26,451
MRS. WOLOWITZ:
Does he like the pancakes?

255
00:10:26,495 --> 00:10:28,628
He didn't try them yet!

256
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:31,282
Yes, Mrs. Wolowitz.

257
00:10:31,326 --> 00:10:32,501
Although we never saw her,

258
00:10:32,544 --> 00:10:34,416
she was a big, big part
of the show.

259
00:10:34,459 --> 00:10:36,461
Well, I remember
when word came down

260
00:10:36,505 --> 00:10:39,247
that she had passed,
we gathered around here,

261
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:42,163
everybody, and just told stories
about Carol Ann...

262
00:10:42,206 --> 00:10:43,512
I mean, she-- Yeah.

263
00:10:43,555 --> 00:10:45,601
...and cried a bit
and laughed a lot.

264
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:48,778
And then, uh, executive
producer Steve Molaro and I

265
00:10:48,822 --> 00:10:51,476
went to Props and asked them
to print up this photo of her.

266
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,652
So she's been in every...

267
00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:53,653
Every episode.Every episode.

268
00:10:53,696 --> 00:10:56,003
Everyone loved her so much.

269
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,490
All right, come on in.
So, here we are in the most

270
00:11:05,534 --> 00:11:06,666
epic wardrobe room,
I think, ever.

271
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:08,842
Everyone has their own wall.

272
00:11:08,885 --> 00:11:09,973
We got Raj over here.

273
00:11:10,017 --> 00:11:11,627
All his sweater vests.

274
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,673
We got Leonard on this side.

275
00:11:13,716 --> 00:11:16,066
I think this robe might be
one of the most

276
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:18,025
famous robes in television.GALECKI:
It's that

277
00:11:18,068 --> 00:11:19,461

279
00:11:21,158 --> 00:11:22,246
Star Trek. I got it right.

280
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:23,726
[laughing]:
Well done.

281
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:25,946
I know Mr. Data isn't
supposed to smile,

282
00:11:25,989 --> 00:11:28,165
but here it comes.

283
00:11:32,474 --> 00:11:33,954
Come on, guys.
Let's do this.

284
00:11:33,997 --> 00:11:36,913
Yeah, I'm sweating
my bald cap off.

285
00:11:36,957 --> 00:11:38,915
[beatboxing]

286
00:11:44,442 --> 00:11:46,357
There-- Who was in that?
Raj.

287
00:11:46,401 --> 00:11:48,969

GALECKI:
Those are the Flashes, right?

289
00:11:51,798 --> 00:11:53,016
Oh, my gosh.

290
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:53,930
See, this is why I wanted

291
00:11:53,974 --> 00:11:56,106
to have a costume meeting.

292
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:58,500
We all have other costumes.
We can change.

293
00:11:58,543 --> 00:12:01,677
Or we could walk right behind
each other all night.

294
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:04,419
It'll look like one person
going really fast.

295
00:12:06,987 --> 00:12:09,511
Oh, that was my cat outfit
when I first kissed you.

296
00:12:09,554 --> 00:12:11,426
Halloween.
Oh, yeah.

297
00:12:11,469 --> 00:12:14,081
The most iconic of all time

298
00:12:14,124 --> 00:12:16,605
are Wolowitz's belt buckles.

299
00:12:16,648 --> 00:12:18,650
It's a light saber
belt buckle.

300
00:12:18,694 --> 00:12:21,088
[imitates light saber whoosh]

301
00:12:21,131 --> 00:12:22,698

Check it out.

304
00:12:26,963 --> 00:12:28,225
You can wear yours,

00:12:28,269 --> 00:12:30,967
little sword fights
whenever we want.

313
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:56,645
That's, obviously,
Amy's incredible dress

314
00:12:56,688 --> 00:12:58,081
from their wedding.

315
00:12:58,125 --> 00:13:02,782
[gasps]
Wow! You look like
a pile of swans.

316
00:13:05,567 --> 00:13:09,440
Amy, do you take Sheldon
for your lawful wedded husband?

317
00:13:09,484 --> 00:13:11,573
I do.

318
00:13:11,616 --> 00:13:14,010
[crying]:
And, Sheldon, same thing.

319
00:13:16,012 --> 00:13:17,144
Over here, the fencing outfit.

320
00:13:17,187 --> 00:13:18,841
I was very excited by...

321
00:13:18,885 --> 00:13:21,061
'Cause I always wanted
to take a fencing lesson.

322
00:13:21,104 --> 00:13:23,106

Uh, this is
the Internet kissing...

338
00:14:01,797 --> 00:14:04,974
We made some memories in here....that Wolowitz came up with

339
00:14:05,018 --> 00:14:06,584
in a very disturbing scene.

340
00:14:10,937 --> 00:14:13,461
Whoa! You just bit my tongue!

341
00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,985
I, like, nibbled.
I was being playful.

342
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:20,685
Why do you have to
make everything weird?

343
00:14:20,729 --> 00:14:21,817
Sorry.

344
00:14:25,995 --> 00:14:27,910
Better?

00:14:27,954 --> 00:14:30,391
Oh, yeah.

361
00:15:24,749 --> 00:15:26,621
That was awesome.We had a lot of
robots on the show.

You slipped and fell
into a robot hand?

372
00:15:51,472 --> 00:15:52,908
Yes.

Well, I think the most
memorable prop that we have

375
00:15:59,088 --> 00:16:01,308
in here comes from season two.

376
00:16:01,351 --> 00:16:03,788
The famous napkin

377
00:16:03,832 --> 00:16:05,399
that Penny gives to Sheldon

378
00:16:05,442 --> 00:16:09,229
she has Leonard Nimoy sign
for him as a gift.

379
00:16:09,272 --> 00:16:11,579

and claims that

380
00:16:11,622 --> 00:16:14,016
he now has Leonard Nimoy's DNA.

381
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:16,279
Sorry the napkin's dirty.
He wiped his mouth with it.

of my favorite moments

386

that Shenny had
over the course of the show,

387
00:16:34,471 --> 00:16:37,213
where he comes out and gives her, like, ten gifts,

388
00:16:37,257 --> 00:16:39,302
and then he hugs her.
