The Adhesive Duck Deficiency

The Adhesive Duck Deficiency
Season 3, Episode 8 - Aired November 16, 2009

Leonard, Howard and Raj go away on a camping trip in the desert. Back home, Penny must rely on Sheldon when she suffers an injury.

Quote from Raj

Raj: If I could speak the language of rabbits, they would be amazed, and I would be their king.
Leonard: I hate my name. It has 'nerd' in it. 'Len. Nerd.'
Wolowitz: I lost my virginity to my cousin Jeanie.
Raj: I would be kind to my rabbit subjects. At first.

Quote from Raj

Wolowitz: You're such a douche
Raj: Who cares? You slept with your cousin!

Quote from Penny

Sheldon: Now remember, you were given powerful pain medication and a muscle relaxer, so don't operate heavy machinery, and try not to choke on your own drool. [goes to leave] Penny: Wait! You have to help me get into bed. [laughs] "Sheldon has to help me get into bed". Bet you thought I'd never say that!
Sheldon: Yes. Charmed. Your drug-addled candor knows no bounds. [helps Penny into bed]
Penny: You know people think you are this weird robot man who's so annoying all the time and you totally are. But then it's like that movie Wall-E at the end. You're so full of love and you can save a plant and get fat people out of their floaty chairs.
Sheldon: That's a fairly labored metaphor but I appreciate the sentiment behind it.

Quote from Raj

Raj: With your American accent, everything you say sounds stupid.

Quote from Penny

Penny: You gotta help me get my arm into my sleeve.
Sheldon: (Eyes closed) Okay!
Penny: Is that my arm?
Sheldon: It doesn't feel like an arm.
Penny: Then maybe you should let it go.

Quote from Howard

Howard: 1. I lost my virginity to my cousin, Jeanie. 2. It was my Uncle Murray's funeral, we were all back at my Aunt Barbara's house. Our eyes locked over the pickled herring. We never meant for it to happen. 3. To this day, I can't look at pickled herring without being aroused and ashamed. Oh, cousin Jeanie.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Why do you have the Chinese character for 'soup' tattooed on your right buttock?
Penny: It's not 'soup'; it's 'courage'.
Sheldon: No it isn't. But I suppose it does take courage to demonstrate that kind of commitment to soup.
Penny: How'd you see it? You said you wouldn't look.
Sheldon: Sorry. As I told you, the hero always peeks.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Cause of Injury: Lack of Adhesive Ducks.

Quote from Penny

Penny: Don't you dare knock!

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: There there, everything is going to be fine... Sheldon's here!

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I see no organizational system in here whatsoever. Which panties do you wear on Mondays?
Penny: I don't need panties, I just need shorts and a shirt.
Sheldon: My mother always told me one should wear clean underpants in case one is in an accident.
Penny: One was already in an accident.
Sheldon: Doesn't mean one won't be in another, especially if I'm driving.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Warp speed ahead, Mr. Spock.
Sheldon: Mr. Spock did not pilot the Enterprise. He was the science officer. And I guarantee you that if he saw the Enterprise's "Check Engine" light blinking, he would pull the ship over immediately.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: According to the inexplicably irritable nurse behind the desk, you'll be seen after the man who claims to be having a heart attack, but appears to be well enough to play Doodle Jump on his iPhone.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I'm sorry. There there. Everything's gonna be okay. Sheldon's here.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: You keep in mind that my sharply-worded comments on Yelp.com recently took down a muffin store.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: And good evening to you, Siam Palace, this is Sheldon Cooper. Yeah, I'm going to be dining alone this evening, so I'll be reducing my usual order. I'd like to start with one quarter of the assorted appetizers plate and one half of the Golden Treasure for two - oh, for heaven's sake! In the mid-18th century, King Rama the Fourth of Siam divided a huge empire amongst the colonial powers of Europe in order to preserve his throne. Surely you, his cultural descendant, can handle pad thai and dumplings.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: When was the last time you had your menstrual cycle?
Penny: Oh, I'm not answering that Sheldon.
Sheldon: I'm going to say in progress.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Let it never be said that Sheldon Lee Cooper ignored the pleas of a damsel in distress.

Quote from Raj

Raj: I know they're poison, but they look like big, yummy otter pops.

Quote from Raj

Raj: One day, I hold a great ball for the President of France, but the rabbits, they hate me and don't come. I'm embarrassed, so I eat all the lettuce in the world and make them watch.

Quote from Penny

Penny: Sing Soft Kitty to me.
Sheldon: Soft Kitty is for when you’re sick. You're not sick.
Penny: Injured and drugged is a kind of sick.
Sheldon: [sings] Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…
Penny: Wait, wait. Let's sing it as a round. I'll start. [sings] Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur… See that's where you come in. I'll start over. [sings] Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur… I've got all night, Sheldon. Soft kitty, warm kitty…
Both: [sing] ...little ball of fur, happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.
