 Lexie Littleton:
You're just acting like a big baby 'cause you miss your mother's bosoms.
Leonard:
My mother's what?

Her bosoms, you goof! You're substituting *my* bosoms for your mother's.

Judith Martin  - Quotes

 There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted.
