Quotes
Leonard: I believe each one of you had a motive.
Howard: Who died and made you detective?
Leonard: He did.
Sheldon: Howard, I want you to know I forgive you.
Howard: Thanks, I'll take it.
Leonard: Do you even know what he's forgiving you for?
Howard: Don't know, don't care. Happy Yom Kippur to me.
Leonard: I just wrote the part where the hero, hot shot physicist Logan Dean, arrives at CERN.
Penny: Ooh, is he based on you?
Leonard: Kind of, but he can eat dairy products without having to leave the room.
Wil Wheaton: I suppose you've come here to tell me moved me to your super secret enemies list?
Sheldon: I'll have you know I don't have a super secret enemies list, I'm not a Bond villain. I'm just a regular guy with a regular enemies, list. Which, by the way, you are no longer on.
Wil Wheaton: Well, that's something. It's not something I care about, but it's something.
Sheldon: I just learned some distressing news. Amy sometimes doesn't do things because it would hurt my feellings.
Howard: First of all, it's not sometimes, its always.
Raj: Second, it's not just Amy, it's everyone.
Howard: And third, it's not news, it's well established.
Penny: Really? The Ilsa character didn't bother you?
Bernadette: Oh, he was exaggerating. You're not really like that.
Penny: Well I know I'm not like that. The character was based on you.
Bernadette: I don't know what to tell you. When I brought it up with Leonard, he said it was you.
Penny: Well, when I brought it up, he... got all squirrelly and left the room. Son of a bitch!
Amy: You can't criticize something that you haven't seen.
Sheldon: I'm sorry, have you not met the internet?
Bernadette: Ilsa, the head of the institute, that's clearly Penny.
Leonard: No it's not.
Bernadette: Really? Confident, ball-busting beauty who's always rolling her eyes at Logan.
Leonard: Trust me, that describes more women than you think.
Leonard: It would be nice if you didn't correct me all the time.
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter: It would be nice if I didn't have to.
Sheldon: I can't keep Wil Wheaton off the internet, but I can keep him off my retinas.
Raj: I don't know which Hemsworth is going to play Logan, but I'm sure it's a Hemsworth.
Leonard: Well, he's based on me.
Howard: So a young Paul Giamatti?
Howard: If you want to be on the show, all you have to do is apologize to Wil Wheaton.
Sheldon: That would be the mature thing to do. Let's put a pin in it and keep looking.
Sheldon: Everyone thinks I'm so predictable. Well, when I come in to work tomorrow, I'm going to do something totally unexpected.
Howard: Wear a baseball hat backwards to prove your point?
Sheldon: (pause) Yes, but which hat?
Raj: The one that says Gryffindor.
Sheldon: You don't know that.
Raj: It's Gryffindor.
Sheldon: (dejected) Yeah.
Wil Wheaton: Time for Professor Proton's science joke of the day. Why can you not trust atoms?
Sheldon: Hmmm.
Wil Wheaton: Because they make up everything.
