Quotes

Leonard: What would you do?
President Siebert: I'd find some sap and put him in charge so I wouldn't have to be the bad guy.
Leonard: That's a really good ide... oh.

Amy: Sheldon's kind of like a dog. He doesn't really think about me when I'm gone, but he's so happy when I show up.

President Siebert: If I didn't think you were up to the task, you wouldn't have been 5th on my list.

Howard: You're not even considering mine? Why, because they're PhDs and I'm just an engineer?
Leonard: No, because they wrote detailed proposals, and you sent a YouTube clip of the guy from Jerry Maguire saying, "Show me the money!"

Bernadette: It's just that work's been crazy, and the minute I get home, I have two kids hanging on me, and sometimes I don't want babies pulling my hair and pinching my belly fat.
Penny: That'd be a good slogan for a condom company.

Notes and Trivia

Penny says that Leonard thinks she has seen all Star Wars movies, even though she only saw "the one with the gold robot"; Bernadette then responds that it could be any of them. They are referring to the android C-3PO, who was indeed in all main Star Wars movies, but he didn't always have gold plating: in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), he had no plating at all, and in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002), he had silver plating.
