Raj: Okay, just to be clear, roller skating was my idea, and I'm very unhappy that you turned it into a double date. I hope you both fall on your asses and break your coccyxes.

Raj: Screw you. Give me back my lima beans.

Leonard (to Penny): Told ya.

Quote from Sheldon

Bernadette: Sheldon, when was the last time you got any sleep?
Sheldon: I don't know. 2 or 3 days. Not important. I don't need sleep, I need answers. I need to determine where in this swamp of unbalanced formulas squatteth the toad of truth.
Penny: Toad of truth? Is that a physics thing?
Leonard: No, that's a crazy thing.

Sheldon: You can try, but you'll never catch me.
Leonard: Oh for God's sake. Sheldon, come here.
Sheldon: Bazinga!

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Whatcha doin'?
Sheldon: I'm attempting to view my work as a fleeting peripheral image so as to engage the superior coliculus of my brain.

Penny: Yes.
Sheldon: Then I've been up all night.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: When Albert Einstein came up with special relativity, he was working at the patent office.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I asked myself what is the most mind-numbing, pedestrian job conceivable, and three answers came to mind. Toll both attendant, an Apple Store genius, and what Penny does.

Quote from Raj

Raj: Great. It's not like I brought it up because I wanted to go.
