Amy: I think your mistake is doing it over the phone. If they could look into your eyes, they'd melt.

Penny: That's easy for you to say. You weren't just called a b-b-b-b-bitch.

Bernadette: What about helping people?
Penny: And helping people.

Quote from Penny

Bernadette: Every other week I serve at a soup kitchen downtown.
Penny: Ooh, I can't do that. If I stand over a steaming pot, my hair just goes boing! What else could I do?

Bernadette: Donated.
Penny: Yes, to a poor waitress who loves a boot cut.

Amy: Shh. That's how you wind up in a cornfield.

Quote from Amy

Penny: Wow. You poor thing.

Quote from Penny

Amy: When Leonard gets back, Id love to check his serotonin levels. Do you think he'd let me draw a syringe full of his blood?

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: You know what? I am tired of living in fear of this guy. I'm gonna go see him and finally say all the things I should have said in high school. You know, "Pick on someone your own size. You did not have sex with my mother. And yes, I do know why I'm hitting myself."

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Oh, now Perlmutter's shaking the King's hand. Yeah, check for your watch, Gustaf. He might have lifted it.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Look at Dr. Saul Perlmutter up there, clutching that Nobel Prize. What's the matter, Saul? You afraid someone's going to steal it? Like you stole Einstein's cosmological constant?

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Its this Jimmy Speckerman thing. I can't decide if I should agree to see him or not. Of course that might be because the last time I ran into him, he made me floss with my own shoelaces.
Sheldon: Wear loafers.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Look at these men. They've managed to win the top science prize in the world with no more understanding of the quantum underpinnings of the expansion of the early universe than God gave a goose. You should pay attention, Leonard. Someday this could be you up there.
Leonard: Thanks.

Sheldon: Nobel Prize acceptance ceremony streaming live from Stockholm.
Leonard: Sure. You want to see what all the scientists are wearing this year.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Okay, Penny, if it were a game, here are your choices. An e-mail from an old acquaintance, or the head of one of the largest religious institutions in the world slam dunking to Sweet Georgia Brown. Pick.

Penny: Basketball Pope.
Sheldon: And thats how it's done.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Okay. If you can't get me to stop eating your food, what makes you think you can get me to stop using your Wi-Fi?

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: Hey, for the record, Jimmy wasn't the reason I wet the bed. That one has my mother written all over it.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: The smartest? All right, you know, I may not have the firmest grip on sarcasm, but even I know that was a doozey.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Congratulations? The Newcomb Medal? Oh, please. That's the scientific equivalent of a smiley face sticker on your homework.
