Happy for you!

Adults I know generally ignore that and pay for their own, with a contribution from parents of both sides. I don't know how typical that is. A nice touch!

Who knew? Live an' learn.

Ramona is a leading physicist and no matter where she ends up studying/teaching she will be in their professional circle. It's best to play 'nice' under such circumstances, though I have no clue what, specifically, was Amy's motive.

And Leonard got to interrupt the proposal. Social reciprocity.

He's got her trained. You can't have too many Green Lantern and Flash shirts.

That actually sounds pretty good.

Actually, I do not, and I might be out of step with the parade here. This character's character has been all over the map, usually to explain why Amy was such a head case.

But, for the first time that I can remember, he didn't call IT 'coitus'.

Yes, all the stuff he said before she left.

Yeah - and she's the young one!

Well, she had a serious broken leg....

Your eyes are better than mine! ETA: Okay, I see Jim, now.

Is that MB standing on the right side of the table?

And, as a man obsessed with defining everything - and avoiding spontaneity - with contracts, a proposal doesn't come as a surprise. Only the circumstances were a surprise. That's why it's not as big a moment, for me, as - say - Buridan's Donkey.
