Quotes

Sheldon: My mother was in bible study. I walked in the house expecting to find it empty, and I heard a sound, coming from my parents' bedroom. When I opened the door, I saw my father having relations with another woman.
Penny: Oh, that's awful.
Sheldon: I know. It's also why I never open a door without knocking three times. I mean the first one's traditional, but two and three are for people to get their pants on.

Stuart: I've been coming here when they're not here for the last month. One time they came early, but they thought I was a raccoon.
Bernadette: (to Howard, overhearing the chat) I told you raccoons don't say "Uh-oh"!

Leonard: How can you stop now? That's like walking out of Pinocchio right before he becomes a real boy.

Sheldon: Anyway, I suppose an ice cream parlor will be a good place to meet other women.
Penny: Oh, please! You're barely interested in a physical relationship with one person; why would you want to confuse and disappoint others?

Sheldon: As a male I have an evolutionary drive to perpetuate my DNA, and restricting myself to a single partner is against my nature.
Amy: We sleep together once a year; you want other partners?
Sheldon: Don't blame me; blame your pal Biology. He's the pervert pulling the strings here.
Amy: You want to see other people? Go see other people.
Penny: Hope one of those people is a monkey, 'cause this is bananas.

Raj: Actually, I'm single now.
Stuart: What! How'd that happen?
Raj: It's okay; it's by choice... Well, their choice, and it's not okay.

Raj: You coming?
Stuart: Just give me a minute.
Raj: Why?
Stuart: You know how you're wearing a bathing suit?
Raj: Yeah.
Stuart: I kinda went the other way.
Howard: (Opens the window to yell at them) You jackasses just bought yourselves a hot tub!

Penny: OK, I'm confused. Which one is Mr. Robot?
Leonard: I'll give you a hint. We're watching Daredevil.
(Sheldon storms in, followed by Amy)
Sheldon: Will you two please inform Amy how much you enjoy adhering to a strict bathroom schedule!
Penny: Can't.
Leonard: Won't.
Penny: Didn't.
Leonard: Don't.
Amy: I told you you can't regulate every aspect of our lives.
Sheldon: I *can* if you'd just roll over and accept your fate.
Amy: I'm sorry for bringing this over here.
Penny: And believe me we know what you're going through.
Leonard: And I, I think the most helpful thing we can tell you is no backsies.
Amy: Sheldon, I understand that you like things a certain way, and I am willing to make some concessions, but you have to be open to compromise.
Penny: She's right; that's reasonable.
Sheldon: Ohhh, look who's in favor of compromise: the woman who married Leonard Hofstadter.
Leonard: Heyyy, she didn't compromise; she settled. There's a difference.
Penny: Yeah, you tell 'em, babe.

Sheldon: Why can't Amy be that subservient? She has coitus one time, suddenly she's Gloria Steinem.

Sheldon: You are truly wise.
Penny: Thank you.
Sheldon: I'd say you're wise beyond your years, but you're getting up there.

Bernadette: (about seeing Stuart in their hot tub) Should we say something to him?
Howard: Maybe. How about, "Hey, you look like a boiled chicken breast"?
Bernadette: I mean like "What are you doing here?"
Howard: Nah, that's not gonna hurt his feelings.

Raj: I've never been to Palm Springs.
Stuart: I have. You should go. I thrive anywhere the temperature and the women are over ninety.
Raj: I don't know. If I want to see old people sweat, I just FaceTime my family in India.

Sheldon: Being with Amy has awaken the sexual beast within me. Whenever I see a woman walk by, I think "hubba-hubba" like any other man.
Penny: You kiss your mother with that mouth? Cause it's fine.

Sheldon: To prove how serious I am about us, I'm willing to take our relationship to the next level.
(scene changes to their bathroom)
Sheldon: Amy Farrah Fowler, will you share this toothbrush holder with me?
Amy: I would love to.
Leonard: Did we really need to be here for this?
Penny: (choking up) Call me crazy, but I found it moving;

Notes and Trivia

An explanation is finally given for Sheldon's signature knock; he has had it since age 13 when he caught his father in bed with another woman, and it is to give people behind the door time to get their pants on.
