Quotes

Howard: It's pretty late. Think I've got time to run some more simulation on the cooling system?
Leonard: Sure. I'm still figuring out the thermal-acoustic expander.
Sheldon: Well, while you do that I am going to pump cerebral spinal fluid through my brain cells to remove the metabolic byproducts of the day's thoughts.
Howard: What?
Sheldon: It's called sleep, and it's my bedtime. Nighty-night, y'all.
Howard: Hey, hey, hey, you're not going anywhere.
Leonard: We only have two months to deliver this to the Air Force because of you.
Sheldon: I know.
(yawning)
Sheldon: I was there.
Howard: Look, wake up! We're going to put in a lot of late nights.
Sheldon: How late?
Howard: Well, I don't know. Midnight. One.
Sheldon: One o'clock! I'm not a raccoon.
Howard: If you're tired, have some coffee.
Sheldon: Wu- you have some coffee!
Howard: I am having coffee!
Howard: And look how irritable it's making you!
Leonard: Guys! We're not going to get anything done if we start fighting. Now, can you please try to soldier through?
Sheldon: Fine.

Bernadette: I don't even know where to begin.
Raj: Well, in The Sound of Music, Julie Andrews says, "Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start."
Bernadette: Huh. I was gonna start at the end, thank God you're here.

Howard: Sir, we've hit a bit of a snag. We're already behind schedule.
Sheldon: The computations required to overcome the deployability issues are more significant than we thought.
Leonard: I understand that we're under contract, and I don't know what the consequences of violating that are but, um, we're not going to be able to deliver in the time we promised.
Colonel Williams: How long do you need?
Howard: W- w- we're thinking... two years.
Colonel Williams: All right.
Howard: Huh, that's it? You're OK with that?
Colonel Williams: Tscha. Well, you think you're the first contractor who isn't going to deliver on time? Still waiting for a big space laser Reagan ordered to beat the commies.
Leonard: Thanks for understanding, sir.
Howard: Yes, thank your so much.
Sheldon: We, we really appreciate it.
(they leave, but the Colonel hears them talking in the hall)
Leonard: All right, pressure's off.
Howard: Want to see a movie?
Sheldon: Popcorn's on me.

Bernadette: Sorry I flipped out on you; I think it's just hormones.
Raj: I think you were mean before you were pregnant, but it's fine.

Bert: It makes sense you two are friends. I mean, hot girls always stick together.
Amy: And you thought this wasn't going to be a great party.
Penny: You know, I had no idea Cal Tech is *exactly* like my high school.
Amy: Well, it's not *exactly* like it. We're all extremely smart.
Penny: Wow, you popular girls are mean.

Leonard: Listen to me. We can't do anything until you do your part. So get up in front of this whiteboard and do it!
Sheldon: I can't.
Leonard: Yes, you can.
Sheldon: No, I can't figure out the math. I've been wracking my brain for days. I've got nothing.
Leonard: Seriously?
Sheldon: I can't do it. I'm not as smart as I think I am. I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.

Bernadette: Once I was supposed to babysit my brothers, our neighbor found them naked in the backyard eating crickets.
Raj: Happy and well-fed. You see, that's what I'm taking from that story.

Penny: So Amy's cool, Sheldon's cool. Tell me about Leonard.
Bert: Who?
Penny: Leonard Hofstadter.
Bert: Oh, him. I guess he's alright. Apparently, he tricked some hot girl into marrying him.

Howard: (about Sheldon) Well, this probably won't work, but has anyone ever tried to just haul off and whup the crazy out of him?
Leonard: That's not helpful. It's fun to think about, but it's not helpful.

Bert: Could you not say anything about this to the people at the University? You know, 'cause you're you and I'm me, and it's kind of embarrassing.
Penny: What do you mean she's her?
Bert: Well, you know how Amy's the coolest girl on campus, right?
Penny, Amy: No!
Bert: Oh, yeah, everybody thinks so.
Penny: What? You tell me about your foot fungus, but this is a secret?
Amy: I'm sure it's just 'cause I'm dating Sheldon.
Bert: Hm, actually, I think Sheldon's popular because he's dating *you*.
Penny: Now Sheldon's popular? What is happening?

Raj: I'm calling my dad, OK?. He's got experience dealing with pregnant ladies because he's an OB/GYN. And experience with crazy ladies because of my mom.

Sheldon: Interesting fact about the rectum.

Sheldon: Superheroes take performance-enhancing chemicals?
The Flash: You bet.
The Flash: Steroids.
The Flash: You know why Batman wanders around at night getting into fights?
The Flash: Scotch.

Notes and Trivia

For the first time in the series, Sheldon admits he can't solve a math problem.

The Flash says that he stays in business because he bought stock in Marvel. This plays fun at the fact that The Flash is from Marvel's biggest competitor, DC Comics, whose cinematic adaptations did significantly less box office than Marvel's at the time.
