All Ma's food is gonna be ruined. Amy: But Leonard's idea was good. Bernadette: Good news, I found more Tums. Bernadette: Hey. Bernadette: Okay. Bernadette: Thanks. Did they mention Leonard? From her cooking. His mother just died. Howard's been having trouble deciding what to keep and what to let go. Howard: No. Howard: That's not true. Howard: Yes. I spend my days trying to take ideas and make them real. It'll be like Ma's feeding us one last time. Just so you know, the power's out. Leonard: "Cooper and his team"? Leonard: You want some of this? Let's invite everyone over to dinner. Oh, and a special hello to Leonard, who needs to be mentioned by name. Penny: Guys. Physics Today mentioned the paper. Sheldon: I spoke to the reporter at the magazine. Sheldon: Leonard, please. Sheldon: Oh, look, it's the Scientific American that covered the paper Leonard and I wrote. Sheldon: Well, I know it was your idea, but the reporter said he's been following my work for a while, and the only reason they even mentioned it in the magazine is 'cause my name is on it. Stuart: Hey. We finally find out. We're eating the last food his mother ever made, and you were gonna throw it at each other like children? We're gonna eat it. What's more important, an idea or its execution? Whatever it is you're fighting about, put it aside, go back in there and be a good friend to Howard or there's no dessert for either of you.
