Quotes

Howard: What are you doing here?
Bernadette: We heard there were some sexy scientists working hard all weekend.
Penny: Yup, so we brought you some lunch, and we are going to go look for them.
Leonard: Tuna sandwiches and emasculation, just like my mom used to make.

Bernadette: Go hide.
Raj: Oh man, when I come out of the closet, I'm going to nail those guys.
(Penny just looks at him)
Raj: Yeah, I heard it; shut up.

Raj: Well, this is kind of anti-climactic.
Howard: You know what wasn't anti-climactic: the end of the movie. Get this...
Raj: No spoilers! No spoilers!
(he covers his ears and steps back into the locker)
Penny: And he's back in the closet.

Bernadette: Since when do you work on weekends?
Raj: I'm an astrophysicist. The stars don't take a day off.
Penny: You were home alone and had no-one to play with?
Raj: Well, the cleaning lady was there, but she doesn't like me.

Amy: (on computer breaking up) I didn't understand your email.
Sheldon: Uh, can you repeat that? You're breaking up
Amy: I didn't understand your email.
Sheldon: Ah. I had to get a little creative because the S, R and M keys on my laptop stopped working.
Amy: (reading) Deah, Aby, could you plethe dwive be to the twain stowe sub time tobowwow.
Sheldon: So, is that a yes?
Amy: Sheldon, why don't you get a new computer? You know that one's out of date.
Sheldon: Oh, but I like this computer.
Amy: The video is failing and the sound is cutting out.
Sheldon: D'you- I'm sorry, I didn't get that.
Amy: The video is failing and the s... is cutting out.
Sheldon: I'm sorry, one more time; the sound is cutting out.
(Amy writes "Video failing & sound cutting out" on a sheet of paper and holds it up to the camera)
Sheldon: I can't read that! The video is failing,
Amy: Get a n... co... ter.
Sheldon: What?
Amy: Get a new c... ter.
Sheldon: What?
(his cell phone rings and he answers it)
Sheldon: Hello
Amy: (on phone, yells) Get a new computer!

Amy: Knock it off or I'll start making W H sounds for words that just have a W.
Sheldon: You wouldn't!
Amy: Whatch me.

Sheldon: What good is having a girlfriend if you can't unload your psychological sewage on her?
Amy: That's me, your emotional outhouse.

Raj: Would you ladies please leave the room for a moment.
Penny: Why?
Raj: I need to rub my genitals on their prototype.

Sheldon: Welcome to my Fortress of Shame.
Amy: I'm sorry, wha- what am I looking at?
Sheldon: Basically everything I've ever owned. Um, every book, every t-shirt, every piece of broken electronics, just... all of it.
Amy: All of it?
Sheldon: I have a Ziploc bag filled with all my old Ziploc bags.

Sheldon: (to Amy on the computer) You look amazing. I mean, this resolution is remarkable.
Amy: I really had to go home for this?
Sheldon: Yes, but it's like you're right here in the room.
Amy: And yet I'm not...
Sheldon: I feel like I could reach out and touch you.
Amy: And yet you can't.
Sheldon: I know!

Penny: So, how's it going?
Leonard: Good... slow
Howard: There's a lot of tedious setup, but once we get through that it should go quicker.
Penny: Is there anything we can do to help?
Leonard: You know what? This part isn't that technical, you actually could!
Penny: Wow, really? Called my bluff, alrighty then.

Amy: You have sporting equipment?
Sheldon: Well, oh, un, It's just, it's a golf ball that my brother threw at my head. You can still feel the dent. It's right next to the hockey puck dent.
Amy: OK, why do you have a bin of pinecones?
Sheldon: I used to collect them as a child. The spiral of scales open in the Fibonacci sequence. A fact that when you tell your brother gets a golf ball thrown at your head.

Sheldon: I'm gonna need you to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Amy: Well, I signed one before we slept together, why not now?

Notes and Trivia

In Sheldon's storage unit you can see a box of the "Happy Guy" computer that Penny suggested Sheldon buy for Leonard in The Peanut Reaction (2008).

Title Reference: The title is a reference to Howard and Leonard being diverted by the free upcoming movie screening during their 'excursion' to the hardware store to pick up the solder.
