Quotes

Sheldon: (about his toilet training journal) There's a chart in the back describing shape, color and consistency.
Penny: Disgusting!
Leonard: No, what's disgusting is that he's still keeping track.

Sheldon: Save all chatting for your break, and FYI, there will be no breaks.

Amy: (Shows Penny a picture of Sheldon in her phone) Look at this face. How can any woman spend eight hours a day alone with this face and not fall in love with it?
Penny: Well, for starters, eventually that face starts talking.

Raj: So, did Alex say anything about me?
Sheldon: Yes. I believe her exact words were "What is that guy's problem?"
Raj: I'm in her head. Let the dance begin.

Alex Jensen: (after Raj can't talk to her) Is he alright?
Leonard: No. But compared to your boss, he's the poster boy for sanity.

Alex Jensen: I'm Alex, Dr. Cooper's assistant. Can I help you?
Amy: I'd like to speak to Sheldon.
Alex Jensen: I'm sorry. He asked me to hold all calls unless you're Stephen Hawking, his mother, or himself from the future.

Amy: If this were a boxing match, they might call it the Thrilla adjacent to the Amygdala.
(laughs)
Amy: If you were a brain scientist, you'd be busting a gut right now.

Alex Jensen: I'm Alex, Dr. Cooper's new assistant.
Leonard: Nice to meet you, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Sheldon: I believe Alex may have unearthed the grade school science project that could be my ticket to the Nobel Prize. Behold.
Leonard: "Magnets: What Do They Stick To?" If the answer is metal, it's not exactly groundbreaking.
Sheldon: The original title was, "A Rederivation of Maxwell's Equations Regarding Electromagnetism". I dumbed it down because some of the more religious people in town were starting to say I was a witch.

Alex Jensen: My father works for SETI.
Leonard: SETI, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. You should introduce him to Sheldon. The search is over.

Penny: This is an eyelash curler. You put it on your eyelashes and squeeze close.
Amy: I don't know. This looks like something used by Tinklebell's gynecologist.
Penny: Well, I hope for her sake it's not Captain Hook.

Amy: Meanwhile, the limbic system of your brain is calculating that if another woman is attracted to Leonard, it must be because he's desirable.
Penny: Well, of course he's desirable. He's great. He's smart, he's sweet, and in the bedroom, wooo, let me tell you, he really tries.

Leonard: Where are we going.
Penny: My limbic system wants to take your pants off.

Alex Jensen: (meeting Penny) She seems nice.
Sheldon: Notice people on your own time. We're working.

Penny: Maybe I can do it.
Sheldon: Oh, really? You think you can evaluate my work?
Penny: Uh-huh.
Sheldon: Here. I wrote this when I was five.
Penny: "A Proof That Algebraic Topology Can Never Have a Non-Self Contradictory Set of Abelian Groups." I'm just a blonde monkey to you, aren't I?
Sheldon: You said it, not me.
