Quotes

Penny: My brother's comin' out here in a few weeks.
Leonard: Yeah, okay, sure. What's going on with your brother?
Penny: My dad asked if I can get him a job interview at my work.
Leonard: Is that a good idea? I mean, you think they'll consider someone who was in prison for selling drugs?
Penny: Well, I sell pharmaceuticals. Which is just a really hard-to-spell word for drugs.
Leonard: Well, I'm sure he'll appreciate carrying his samples in a briefcase instead of his colon.

Penny: Hey, boys, .how's it going?
Sheldon: I thought we were having a nice conversation. but it turns out I was being offensive
Bernadette: So, normal, hm?

Bernadette: You know, I just read that a team at MIT developed a device that helps people read human emotions.
Leonard: And you think we can get those guys to reprogram Sheldon? Cool.
Bernadette: It's supposed to be accurate like eighty-five percent of the time.
Penny: Wow, I find that hard to believe.
Leonard: That a bunch of awkward scientists with no social skills would invent a machine to do it for them?
Penny: I take it back; I believe it.

Penny: So, did you wind up sending that machine back?
Sheldon: I did .Uh, I'm not even sure how accurate it was. I took it to the trains store; it said everyone was sad.
Bernadette: I finally got Halley to sleep.
Penny: You know, I just read a study that suggests new mothers are better at sensing emotions for up to two years.
Amy: It's true. Pregnancy causes physiological changes in the brain that result in increased empathy.
Penny: Oh, so all we need to do is get Sheldon knocked up.
Leonard: Can't. He was already fixed when I found him at the shelter.
Sheldon: Hey, uh, Bernadette, let's test this theory. What do you think I'm feeling right now?
Bernadette: Let's .see. You're better than us, a little bit sorry for us, but mostly glad you don't have to be us.
Sheldon: (to Howard) Keep filling this one with babies; she's good.

Sheldon: Well, I would prefer if people told me exactly what is on their mind.
Penny: No, no, you don't; you really don't. I can't actually say don't enough

Raj: Maybe I won't settle down. Maybe I'll just play the field.
Howard: The field was just here. The field said no.

Lucy: I'm Lucy and I broke up with Raj because I have severe social anxiety and he kept trying to force me into uncomfortable situations.
Howard: Like ths one?
Lucy: Yeah.
Raj: I did that. I can be insensitive to other people's boundaries. Howard, will you write that down?
Howard: Schmuck, got it.

Penny: Can you take a look at my brother's r?sum?? I'm trying to help him clean it up a little.
Leonard: Sure. He really worked with the Drug Enforcement Agency?
Penny: He didn't know it until he was cuffed, but yeah.

Leonard: What's going on with that woman you're dating?
Raj: I broke up with her.
Leonard: Why?
Raj: She said she didn't want to see me any more, and I found that insulting.
Howard: .I thought things were going well; what happened?
Raj: I don't know. She didn't even give me a reason
Sheldon: That's not a problem; we can figure this out. What are the reasons women reject Raj?
Raj: Can we not play this game?
Sheldon: Doesn't like games: that's one.
