Quotes

Leonard: Tell me the truth, mother. Was my whole childhood just one big experiment?
Dr. Beverly Hofstadter: Of course not, dear. It was thousands of small experiments

Danny: We're always on the lookout for great sales people. I think we could make you happy.
Penny: Thanks, but I'm pretty happy.
Karen: I could be more happy.
Penny: Tell it to your shrink, Karen.

Leonard: Oh my God! At sleep-away camp, my cabin was called "Control Group".

Leonard: Wow, that's a lot of luggage for a weekend.
Penny: You know, I didn't know what to wear, so I brought a few options.
Leonard: Was one of the options, the option to never come back?

Danny: We control 60% of the market. Hell, commissions on just our fungal cream will put you in a new Mercedes.
Penny: Danny, Danny, look at me.
(points to her face)
Penny: Does this face sell fungal cream? No, this face is cholesterol drugs and above.

Penny: Hi, can I help you?
Kwame: Actually, I'm looking for the bathroom.
Penny: Ah yes, it's right next to the laxative booth. Clever, right?

Howard: Engage them for one minute and take note of their reactions.
Leonard: There's something familiar about all of this.
Howard: Okay, go.
Sheldon: Hello, baby, are you having a pleasant day?
Leonard: Oh my God! This is my entire childhood.
Sheldon: Leonard, Leonard, you're tainting my data.
Leonard: It's like word for word.
