Quotes

Leonard: When you talk like that, it makes me want to take you on this table right now.
Penny: And we both know from past experience that this table won't support both our weights.

Leonard: You worked out all the math?
Sheldon: I did more than work out the math. I wrote a paper.
Leonard: You wrote a paper on my idea?
Sheldon: I wrote a paper on our idea.
Leonard: Since when is it our idea?
Sheldon: Since I added some Sheldony goodness and baked it in the E-Z Bake Oven of my mind.

Sheldon: I was starting to think I might never get a chance to give it to you.
Leonard: You're giving me a sticker.
Sheldon: Not just a sticker. It's a sticker of a kitty saying "mee-wow!"
Leonard: I'm not a preschooler.
Sheldon: Fine, I'll take it back.
Leonard: I earned this. Back off!

Amy: I remember when I had no friends. I miss those days.

Stephen Hawking: Hello there.
Sheldon: Mr. Hawking?
Stephen Hawking: Oh, brother. You should see the looks on your faces.
Sheldon: You really didn't like our paper?
Stephen Hawking: I liked your paper. The premise is intriguing.
Leonard: Then why did you write those comments?
Stephen Hawking: When you're stuck on a chair for forty years, you'd get bored too.

Sheldon: Can I respond now?
Leonard: Do it.
Sheldon: You mess with the bull, you get the horns. I'm going to show this man just how horny I can be.
Leonard: (Takes away phone) Okay, someone else do it.

Raj: I hate how mean everyone is on the internet.
Howard: The anonimity makes people feel they can say things they'd never say to someone's face.
Sheldon: That's funny. I never have any trouble saying what I think to someone's face.
Leonard: Really? I never noticed that about you.
