Quotes

Leonard: Do you really think you should be eating that cake?
Howard: Why?
Leonard: If you're gonna be a trophy husband for a rich wife, you might want to watch your waistline.
Raj: He's right. A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.

Leonard: What are you doing here?
Raj: I was sleeping.
Leonard: In my bed?
Raj: Well, I would sleep in my own bed, except it's being used to bring shame to my family. And the memory of Gene Roddenberry.

Priya: I feel ridiculous in this dress.
Leonard: You look beautiful, Lieutenant Uhura. Now prepare for... inspection.

Bernadette: I was headhunted by a big pharmaceutical company. They're gonna pay me a butt-load of money!
Howard: What?
Leonard: Bernadette, that's great. Howard, do you make a butt-load?
Howard: Better than what you got a butt-load of.

Leonard: Does Sheldon know you're sleeping in here?
Raj: Are you kidding? He made me sign a waiver, participate in an emergency fire drill, and take a refresher course in CPR. Thank God he had a dummy.
Leonard: Oh yeah, Mouth-to-Mouth Mona. You know she used to date Howard?

Howard: What's up?
Raj: Leonard's putting disgusting memories in my memory-foam mattress. Can I stay here tonight?

(Bernadette is getting her Ph.D)
Penny: Wow! So that means you're a doctor, you're a doctor, you're a doctor, you're a doctor... and Howard, you know a lot of doctors!

Howard: You gotta like this. The girlfriend, the ex-girlfriend bonding over your rooty-tooty stinky booty.
Leonard: Kill me.
Sheldon: It wouldn't help. The human body is capable of being flatulent for hours after death.

Penny: Can I tell you a secret?
Raj: Yeah.
Penny: I screwed up. Leonard's a great guy. Never should have broken up with him.
Raj: Well er, to paraphrase Shakespeare - It's better to have loved and lost than to stay home every night and download increasingly shameful pornography.

Priya: You remember Rajesh's friend, Leonard?
Dr. Koothrappali: I thought you said Rajesh was out with his friends.
Priya: He has many friends.
Dr. Koothrappali: Rajesh has many friends?
Mrs. Koothrappali: Why are you lying to us?

Sheldon: Man is not the only species that ferments fruit in order to become intoxicated. Can you guess what the other is? A hint: sometimes they pack the alcohol in their trunks.
Penny: Monkeys!
Sheldon: When does a monkey have a trunk?
Penny: When a suitcase just won't do.
(Penny and Raj laugh)
Sheldon: All right. It would appear as if alcohol is playing keep-away with your intelligence.

Penny: (after Penny drunkenly sleeps with Raj, she tries to sneak out, but is finds Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard in the living room) Damn.
Leonard: What is going on?
Penny: (laughing nervously) Oh, it's, it's not what it looks like.
(embarrassed, Penny quickly leaves)
Sheldon: What does it look like?

Raj: What's wrong with me, Penny?
Penny: Nothing, nothing. You know, if we weren't friends - and you hadn't brought up that creepy pornography story - I'd be on you like the speed of light squared on matter to make energy.
Raj: Hey, you totally got that right! E equals M C squared.
Penny: I listen. I have no idea what it means, but I listen.

Penny: (to Raj after Leonard leaves) Explain something to me. You watched Leonard put up with that guy for years and years. What has to break inside your brain for you to think: "Oh, Krishna, I've got to get me some of that?".

Penny: Hey Sheldon, did you change your Wi-Fi password again?
Sheldon: Yes, it's "pennygetyourownwifi", no spaces.

Raj: Leonard's having astronomically inaccurate Star Trek sex with my sister.
Sheldon: I can see how that would be upsetting. Come in.

Sheldon: The apartment has three emergency exits located here, here, and here. In the event of a power outage, luminescent paint will guide you to the nearest exit.
Raj: You're kidding.
(Sheldon turns off the lights, revealing glowing arrows on the floor)
Sheldon: I never kid about safety.

Penny: What happened to Leonard?
Sheldon: Same thing that happened to Homo erectus. He was replaced by a superior species.
Raj: I'm the new Homo in town!
(pause)
Raj: That came out wrong.

Sheldon: Oh, my hands are magic!
Amy: Don't flatter yourself. Your hands are blunt tools guided by my knowledge of the nrevous system. I could just as easily have paralyzed you.

Sheldon: What are you doing here?
Leonard: What?
Sheldon: I said, what are you doing here?
Leonard: I live here.
Sheldon: I have paperwork that says differently.

Penny: Hi, you guys ready to order?
Sheldon: (the gang mutters consent) Sure.
Penny: 'Kay. Priya?
Priya: I'll have the Shepherd's pie.
(to Leonard)
Priya: You want to split that with me?
Penny: Oh, no, no, no, he doesn't.
Priya: Why not?
Penny: Well, you know, milk in the taters, milk in the gravy, parmesan crust... your lactose-intolerant boyfriend will turn into a gas-filled Macy's day balloon.
Sheldon: Not quite accurate. Macy's balloons are filled with helium, whereas Leonard produces copious amounts of methane.

Sheldon: I must say, Amy, I was very impressed to see that Bernadette got her Ph.D.
Amy: It's indeed admirable. Although it is microbiology.
Sheldon: Your doctorate is in neurobiology. I fail to see the distinction.
Amy: I'll make it simple for you. I study the brain, the organ responsible for Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony." Bernadette studies yeast, the organism responsible for Michelob Light.

Notes and Trivia

After the end of this season, the series was renewed for three more seasons. It marked the first time a TV series was renewed for more than one season at a time.

When Sheldon mentions "an eye for an eye" from the Hammurabi Code, he is not quoting the Bible (although the phrase does appear in St. Matthew's Gospel) but the legal code of King Hammurabi, ruler of Babylon in the first half of the eighteenth century B.C.
