Quotes

Sheldon: And for one million dollars, I will come over and tell you what's wrong with you.
Leonard: Aw, and all these years, I've been getting that for free.

Leonard: (they play videogame) What are you doing?
Sheldon: The light is red so I came to a stop.
Leonard: You're in a stolen cop car with a dead hooker in the trunk. You don't have to obey traffic laws. I know I don't have to. The fun is choosing to.
Howard: (he and Raj come in) Hey. Missed you guys at the faculty mixer.
Raj: Ah, you should have been there, dessert was bananas. Sorry, that was misleading. The dessert was pie, but the pie was bananas. Actually, the pie was cherry, but the taste of the pie was... bananas.
Sheldon: Those mixers are such a waste of university money. If they spent less money on frivolous nonsense and more money on science, we'd all be better off.
Howard: You're a theoretical physicist. What more do you need than an office and a whiteboard?
Sheldon: Someday, my new formulas on entropy decrease due to quantum decoherence will need to be tested and that will require funding.
Leonard: Your theories are pretty abstract. I wouldn't even know how to design an experiment to prove them.
Sheldon: Says the experimental physicist!.. Well, I know a place the university can make some cuts. Bye, Leonard.
Raj: One second, one second. He's got a point. In order to corroborate your string theory research, you'd have to create a black hole. Wouldn't that destroy the Earth?
Sheldon: Perhaps, but we'd all go to the grave knowing I was right.
Leonard: I guess you could create a contained microscopic black hole.
Sheldon: Huh. Interesting. Welcome back, Leonard!
(to Raj)
Sheldon: Sorry, you're out.
Raj: What did I do?
Sheldon: Exactly!

Sheldon: While we're on the subject of fashion, I'm asking the university for some funding tomorrow. What should I wear?
Penny: Mm. Well, I've got a push-up bra I can loan you that always gets me free drinks.
Amy: How much money are you asking for?
Sheldon: $500 million.
Penny: Then I'd go no bra.

Sheldon: I defy you to name a train that I don't like.
Penny: The kind on the back of a wedding dress?
Sheldon: I did not see that coming. Good job.

Sheldon: I have a few comic books to sell.
Stuart: I know all about that. First step is to flunk out of art school.

Penny: (showing a Brides page) Ooh, this one's pretty.
Amy: Mm. My mother wouldn't approve, shows too much clavicle. She calls it "the bosom's welcome mat".
Penny: I can't wait to get drunk and pick a fight with her at your wedding.

Sheldon: I'm sorry, I'm trying to do science, not hire Lady Gaga to come to my birthday.
Penny: Do you even know who Lady Gaga is?
Sheldon: Presumably, the wife of Lord Gaga.

Leonard: (Looking at offers from Sheldon's Kickstarter campaign) "For $50,000 I will examine your diet and create a customized bathroom schedule." That's fitting, 50 grand down the toilet.

Penny: I can't believe you threw me under the bus like that!
Bernadette: I know! Crazy, right?
Penny: Do you know how that makes me look?
Bernadette: I do. Terrible!
Penny: What happened to keeping a united front?
Bernadette: I'm sorry, is this your first day being a girl?
