00:00 I have a very long and somewhat self-centered speech here, but I'd like
00:09 to set it aside. Because this honor doesn't just belong to me. I wouldn't be
00:23 up here if it weren't for some very important people in my life, beginning
00:28 with my mother, father, meemaw, brother and sister, and my other family, who I'm so
00:40 happy to have here with us. Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
00:51 I was under a misapprehension that my accomplishments were mine alone. Nothing
01:00 could be further from the truth. I have been encouraged, sustained, inspired, and
01:10 tolerated, not only by my wife, but by the greatest group of friends anyone ever
01:17 had. I'd like to ask them to stand. Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali, Dr. Bernadette
01:32 Rostenkowski-Wolowitz, astronaut Howard Wolowitz, and my two dearest friends in
01:46 the world, Penny Hofstadter and Dr. Leonard Hofstadter. I was there the
02:03 moment Leonard and Penny met. He said to me that their babies would be smart and
02:08 beautiful. And now that they're expecting, I have no doubt that that will be the
02:14 case. Thanks Sheldon, I haven't told my parents yet, but thanks. Oh, sorry. Don't tell
02:25 anyone that last thing, that's a secret.
02:28 Howard, Bernadette, Raj, Penny, Leonard, I apologize if I haven't been the friend
02:38 you deserve, but I want you to know, in my way, I love you all. And I love you.
02:55 Thank you.
03:00 [Applause]
