Quotes

Amy: You know, if being on your own is new to you, I'd be happy to share some tension-relieving techniques for ladies that I've perfected over the years. For example, do you have an electric toothbrush?
Penny: Uh, no.
Amy: You should get one.

Priya: Sheldon's a bit quirky, isn't he?
Howard: Oh please, that crazy bastard is looking at quirky in the rearview mirror.

Penny: So, where do you guys want to go dancing?
Bernadette: We were hoping you'd know a place.
Amy: Yes, perhaps somewhere packed tightly with young beautiful bodies, sweating and writhing against each other in a glorious orgy of the flesh.
Penny: Oh yeah, I know that place.

(Sheldon is having a get-together with a new group of friends)
Leonard: You're having people over?
Sheldon: Yes. Must be killing you wondering who. Fine, I'll tell you. Stuart from the comic book store, Barry Kripke from the university, Penny's ex-boyfriend Zack, and TV's Levar Burton.
Leonard: Really? Levar Burton's coming over?
Sheldon: Possible. I tweeted him.

Raj: Hey, you're just in time. We made Tex-Mex.
Leonard: Sounds great.
Sheldon: Ooh, Indians making Tex-Mex. Might as well have had the Chinese pizza.

(Usual gang and Priya are gossiping about Sheldon)
Howard: Raj, did you ever tell your sister about the time Sheldon got punched by Bill Gates?
Priya: Oh, God! You're kidding?
Raj: Nope. Gates gave a speech at the university. Sheldon went up to him afterward and said, "Maybe if you weren't so distracted by sick children in Africa, you could've put a little more thought into Windows Vista."
(all laugh)
Leonard: Bam! Right in the nose. Made me proud to own a PC.

Leonard: I thought you were with your new friends.
Sheldon: I had to leave. They were having fun wrong.

Sheldon: (tasting Priya's non-Texan chili) Mm, this is good... whatever it is.

Sheldon: Jacuzzi is a commercial brand, hot tub is the generic term, i.e., all Jacuzzis are hot tubs, but not all hot tubs are Jacuzzis.
Zack: Is that like all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs?
Sheldon: Surprisingly, yes.
Zack: Nice. Now, what exactly are toes?

Sheldon: I just realized, we're about to spend an evening watching a plasma screen with a cluster of dead pixels in the upper left-hand corner.
Leonard: So don't watch TV. Read a book.
Sheldon: And be a social pariah? You know that's not my style.

Kripke: I'm Barry Kwipke and I'm here because you told me there was gonna be a whaffle. When is the whaffle?
Sheldon: Patience, patience, Barry. The whaffle... the raffle is the grand finale to an evening-long festival of fun and folly.

Penny: Let's go find me a heinie to bite.
Amy: Outstanding. And if we fail, we can always stop at CVS and pick you out a nice toothbrush. I call mine Gerard.

(Sheldon has come over to Raj's after his get-together didn't go the way he wanted it to)
Sheldon: (knocking on front door) All my friends?
(knocking)
Sheldon: All my friends?
(knocking)
Sheldon: All my friends?
Howard: I think it's like "Beetlejuice"; we said his name too many times.

Penny: Let's go through this one more time. Just because Leonard has a new girlfriend does not mean I need to go out and hook up with some guy.
Bernadette: But you could if you wanted to, right?
Penny: Well yeah, I guess.
Bernadette: Pick out the hottest guy in the room, take him home, do unspeakable things to him, then kick him to the curb with a smile on his face and teeth marks on his heinie?

Amy: Yo, P-Dawg.

(Amy and Bernadette want to take Penny out for a girl's night, but Penny doesn't want to)
Amy: You do understand that it will distract you from obsessing over the rich variety of sweet loving that your ex-boyfriend is currently receiving from the fiery jewel of Mumbai.

Sheldon: Well, no, sir, and do you know why? In a word, tradition. Every Thursday night for the last eight years, you and I and our friends have gathered here in this very spot to break bread covered with cheese and sauce, discuss the issues of the day, and yes, share a laugh or two. But I guess our rich heritage means nothing to you.

(Priya has made some homemade chili, albeit with beans, which is counter to the Texan definition of chili - Sheldon is Texan - and the fact is fodder for know-it-all Sheldon)
Priya: Would you like some homemade chili?
Sheldon: Are there beans in it?
Priya: (guardedly) Yes?
Sheldon: Then it's not chili. Real chili has no beans in it, but you're from a foreign land, so your ignorance is forgiven.
Priya: (a bit exasperated) Sheldon, do you want some or not?
Sheldon: Yes, please.
(to Leonard, quietly)
Sheldon: Your girlfriend's a little short-tempered.

(Sheldon's guests are singing karaoke. All have been drinking, and Stuart is still in towels from taking a shower)
Stuart, Kripke, Zack: (singing) I'm walking on sunshine... who-oo...
Levar Burton: (arrives at party late, and enters) Hello, I...
Levar Burton: (Sees strange guests and backs out of doorway) Oh, I don't think so...
Levar Burton: (walking down stairs) I am so done with Twitter.

Priya: There's no assigned seats, Sheldon. Just sit anywhere, make yourself comfortable.
Sheldon: Oh, what fun. We're like hippies at a love-in.
Leonard: Just sit here.
Sheldon: Right on, man, right on.

Sheldon: I'm the whimsical elf that everyone looks to for a good time.

Notes and Trivia

LeVar Burton makes the fifth person from Star Trek franchise to be on the show. The others are George Takei, Wil Wheaton, Brian George, and Mark Harelik.

The line "The horror" was referencing the film Apocalypse Now (1979). The line was also used in a similar fashion in The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition (2009).
