The Proton Displacement
Season 7, Episode 7 - Aired November 7, 2013

When Sheldon's idol, Professor Proton, seeks Leonard's help for a science paper instead of his, Sheldon gets his revenge by befriending rival science icon Bill Nye. Meanwhile, Raj is jealous when Howard starts crashing girls' night.

Quote from Howard

Sheldon: Sheldon Cooper does not cry.
Howard: That's true, you'd rust.

Quote from Leonard

Professor Proton: Can I ask you a question?
Leonard: Yeah, sure.
Professor Proton: Why do you put up with Sheldon?
Leonard: Oh, you know because we're friends.
Professor Proton: Why?
Leonard: Wow, you ask really hard questions. Look, I know he can be aggravating, but what you have to remember is he's not doing it on purpose, it's just how he is. But he's also loyal and trustworthy and we have fun together.
Professor Proton: You know you're describing a dog?
Leonard: He did bite me once. But in his defense, I came up behind him while he was eating.
Professor Proton: They hate that.
Leonard: Sheldon is the smartest person I have met. He's a little broken and he needs me. And I guess I need him too.
Professor Proton: Why is that?
Leonard: Boy, you will not let this go, will you?

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: Ooh, Gasex has a new ultra-strength. I guess they really do read their mail.

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: Hey, isn't that Professor Proton?
Leonard: Oh, yeah.
Sheldon: Look at him just standing in line, like he wasn't moderately famous thirty years ago.
Sheldon: Let's go say hello.
Leonard: Oh, maybe we shouldn't bother him.
Sheldon: I'm not going to bother him. I'm going to talk to him.
Leonard: He thinks there's a difference.

Quote from Professor Proton

Sheldon: Arthur! Arthur, it's me, Sheldon Cooper.
Professor Proton: Trust me, I remember.
Sheldon: This is television legend, Arthur Jeffries. His science show inspired millions of children.
Professor Proton: Hold on, you have a girlfriend?
Amy: Yes, and I've heard so much about you. Hey look, we're wearing the orthopaedic shoes. I can't believe I dress like a celebrity.
Professor Proton: Okay, I get it now.

Quote from Howard

Howard: Look who's here to put the Jew in Jewellery night.

Quote from Howard

Quote from Howard

Howard: I was going to make a necklace for my mom but unfortunately she doesn't have a neck. She's just chins and fat and feet.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I would have been here sooner but for some reason your home isn't on this map of Hollywood stars.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: Come on, he's a retired kids show host.

Sheldon: I'm sorry, did I wake you?
Professor Proton: Of course you woke me, it's seven thirty.

Quote from Professor Proton

Bill Nye: Wow, Arthur Jeffries. It's an honor to meet you. My show would never have happened without yours.

Quote from Amy

Amy: This is fun. I'm gonna feel like a vixen wearing jewellery that doesn't have a list of medications I'm allergic to.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: And to think I idolized that man. And why? At the end of the day, he's just another Hollywood phoney.
Amy: Is it really worth getting upset about?
Sheldon: They say don't meet your heroes. Don't peek behind that curtain of fame and celebrity. Because if you do, you'll see them as they really are: degenerate carnival folk.

Quote from Bernadette

Amy: So what tools did you bring?
Howard: Everything we need to make jewellery moulds. Here's some silver, a crucible, and an acetylene torch to melt it down.
Penny: Ooh, that looks fun.
Bernadette: Maybe you should master glue before you move onto fire.

Quote from Raj

Raj: There are just some things I feel more comfortable sharing with the girls. Because they won't make fun of me, or call me names, or ask me if my Koothrapanties are in a bunch.

Quote from Leonard

Amy: I've never seen him (Sheldon) this happy before.
Leonard: That's because you've never seen him on "Restock the Medicine Cabinet" day.

Quote from Professor Proton

Professor Proton: I was thinking if it isn't too much trouble, I'd like to get your opinion about my paper.
Sheldon: Thank you, it would be an honor.
*Professor Proton hands Sheldon his paper*
Sheldon: Actually, I don't need that. I hacked into your email account and read it.

Sheldon: Second, I thought your paper was inspired.
Professor Proton: Well that means a lot to me.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: Have you ever wondered why Arthur didn't want you to read his paper?

Quote from Professor Proton

Sheldon: Arthur, I'm surprised to see your here.
Professor Proton: Yeah, me too. Somewhere around the third floor I began to see a white light.

Quote from Professor Proton

Sheldon: So what prescription are you getting filled?
Leonard: Sheldon!
Sheldon: No wait, I want to guess. Don't tell me.
Professor Proton: I wasn't going to tell you.

Quote from Professor Proton

Sheldon: No, wait. I'm really good at this. Give me a hint. Does it involve difficulty initiating a stream of anything?
Professor Proton: Well, given my age, that's more than just a lucky guess.

Quote from Professor Proton

Leonard: Oh, gees.
Professor Proton: Another photo from Sheldon?
Leonard: No, I have to go pick him up. Bill Nye ditched him at the smoothie place.

Professor Proton: Sheldon, in a couple of hours I have to get up, pee and then wander around the house.
