Quotes

Sheldon: Leonard, thank goodness I found you. I need you to check my head for chair lice.
Leonard: I'm not going to check you for lice again.
Howard: Just his head, right?
Leonard: I don't want to talk about it.

Leonard: Sheldon, you do this all the time. You fixate on some crazy idea and then blow it way out of proportion.
Sheldon: Name one time I've ever done that.
Leonard: How about when you put GPS trackers in your garbage because you were convinced North Korean spies were stealing your doodles? The chicken nuggets you were sure were human nuggets. The strangely shaped cloud that was following you around town. The time you put on my shirt by mistake and were convinced you'd started growing again.
Sheldon: I said name one. You really need to work on your listening skills.

Amy: Two, three four.
(singing "The girl From Ipanema" while playing her harp)
Amy: Tall and tan and young and lovely. The girl from Ipanema goes walkin'. And when she passes, each one she passes goes...
Sheldon: (Interrupts on cue)
(Knock, knock, knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
(Knock, knock, knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
(Knock, knock, knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
Amy: (Plucks last note) Oh.

Amy: Kiss me where I've never been kissed before.
Sheldon: You mean like Salt Lake City?

Raj: Nice of you to let us use the university's new hydraulic thermoforming press.
Howard: Yeah. this baby set the university back 175 grand.
Leonard: That's three minutes. Let's see what we got.
(Open press)
Raj: Oh, yeah! That is one great panini.

Leonard: You videochat with Amy all the time. How is this different?
Sheldon: Don't you like Amy?
Leonard: Of course I like Amy.
Sheldon: Well, there's the difference.

Leonard: Some people might say it's good that Priya and I are trying to make things work long distance. They would say things like "Your love is stronger than the miles between you".
Sheldon: When I rise to power, those people will be sterilized.

Leonard: Some people might say that it's great that we'rre trying to make things work long distance. They'd say things like "Love is stronger than the miles between you."
Sheldon: When I rise to power, those people will be sterilized.

Sheldon: (to Leonard as he videochats with Priya) I miss the old days when your romantic partners could be returned to the video store.

Sheldon: (knock knock knock) Amy?
(knock knock knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
(knock knock knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
Amy: You are aware that your ritualistic knocking behavior is symptomatic of obsessive compulsive disorder?
Sheldon: Is not! Is not, is not.

Sheldon: (to Leonard as he tries cybersex with Priya) Please let me know when you and your girlfriend are done hogging the bandwidth for your self-abuse. I'm trying to stream a movie on Netflix in here.

Penny: What's the gist, physicist?

Notes and Trivia

Sheldon proposes a riddle to his friends which is to get the four-letter word which means both a printer's type and a compulsion to eat dirt. The answer is "pica".

When Penny greets Sheldon at the door with the phrase, "What's the word, hummingbird?", she is repeating a line from the song "The Telephone Hour" from the musical Bye Bye Birdie (1963).
