Quotes

Sheldon: Oh Amy, you see through me like one of Penny's shirts.

Penny: Hey, how long have you been sitting here?
Bernadette: Long enough for two of your neighbors to ask of I was lost and looking for my mother.

Sheldon: So you weren't even thinking about super-asymmetry?
Dr. Campbell: Thinking about it? We don't even understand it.

Bernadette: The drug I've been working on for the past 5 years just got approved by the FDA.
Penny: Wow!
Raj: Congratulations. Was that the decongestant you developed?
Bernadette: No. We had to rebrand that as a solvent for mining equipment.
Penny: Is it the anti-itch cream you were testing on grad students?
Bernadette: It's not, but that's a really funny story which I'm legally prevented from telling you.

Sheldon: There you are.
Dr. Campbell: Dr. Cooper, hello.
Sheldon: Hello to you to. Now stop trying to stealing our Nobel Prize. You come up with your own idea.
Dr. Campbell: That's not gonna to happen.
Dr. Pemberton: Wouldn't that be something though?
Dr. Campbell: Well, too bad.
Sheldon: That discovery belongs to Amy and me.
Dr. Pemberton: Look, Dr. Cooper. We all want a Nobel Prize. Super-asymmetry could be the breakthrough that gets us there.
Dr. Campbell: But we can't fight over credit; we have to work together.
Sheldon: So you're saying the four of us should agree to share this discovery?
Dr. Pemberton: Well, no. Unfortunately only three people can share a Nobel.
Sheldon: Oh, that's right.
(whispering to Pemberton about Campbell)
Sheldon: So he's out?
Dr. Campbell: No, I'm not out.
Sheldon: (whispering to Campbell about Pemberton) So he's out?
Dr. Campbell: Neither of us is out. We think that the three physicists should be the ones who win the Nobel Prize for physics.
Sheldon: Wait. So you want to cut Amy out?
Dr. Campbell: No, of course not.
Dr. Pemberton: We don't want to, but we're going to.
Sheldon: But she's my wife.
Dr. Pemberton: Yes, exactly. She's your wife. And she's a neuroscientist. It's like, what's she even doing on this paper? It just raises questions.
Dr. Campbell: Look, Fermilab is going to recommend the three of us to the Nobel committee. The best chance we have is if your university does the same.
Sheldon: I see. So you really think that I'm the kind of man who would sell out his partner of a chance of winning a Nobel Prize?
Dr. Pemberton: Are you?
Sheldon: Boy, I hope not!

Amy: Maybe you should.
Sheldon: What?
Amy: This has been your lifelong dream. And you may not get another chance. I don't want to be the reason that you don't win a Nobel.
Sheldon: You're the only reason I deserve one.
Amy: But if your best shot is with them, I think you should take it.
Sheldon: Is this what you really want me to do?
Amy: I want you to be happy.
Sheldon: Thank you.
(Hugs)

Sheldon: (Sheldon & Amy) We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it!
Penny: Ahhhh, remember when they only did it on her birthday?

Penny: Aren't you always saying it's about the work, not more money or a better title?
Leonard: All the smart things I say, and you remember the dumb one.

Notes and Trivia

Title reference: the confirmation of Amy and Sheldon's super-symmetry theory creates an uneasy situation between them with regards to who will receive credit or a Nobel Prize.
