Amy: Sheldon, I'm freaking out.
Sheldon: Well, is this still about the Nobel Prize?
Amy: Yes, it's about the Nobel Prize!
Sheldon: And back to the mean voice.

Sheldon: Hang on.
Amy: What-what are you doing?
Sheldon: I'm googling what to do when someone's freaking out. Huh. Uh, whoa, it says here that a walk can be calming. Bye.

Sheldon: You know, I know she's unhappy, but I don't know how to help.
Leonard: Maybe you can't. Sometimes people are upset, and all you can do is be there for them.
Sheldon: And while I'm there, what do I do?
Leonard: Nothing.
Sheldon: Oh, so like what you're doing right now to help me.
Leonard: You're up.

Penny: Sheldon, maybe you don't know what to do because Amy's always taking care of you.
Sheldon: Of course. And by calming down, I've taken away the one thing that gives her comfort: caring for me.
Penny: That's what you heard?
Sheldon: Yes. I need to have an emotional meltdown so she's forced to focus on me and forget about herself.
Leonard: No. Th-That's not even close to what-- Uh, you know, actually, that might be your best move.

Amy: Sheldon, whatever you're doing, I-I don't have time for it right now.
Sheldon: I'm sorry. I know you're upset, but I don't know how to make it better.
Amy: I don't know how you can, either. I mean, I don't know if anybody can. I just-- I feel like I'm letting everybody down.
Sheldon: I'm about to hold you. Would you like to smell my hand first?
Amy: I'm fine.

Leonard: I'm just trying to find a plan that makes everyone happy.
Amy: Except you.
Bernadette: Yeah, Leonard. What would make you happy?
Sheldon: I could tell you about satisficing again.
Leonard: You know, what would make me happy is if we just stop talking about this and see whatever movie you guys want to see whenever you want to see it.
Sheldon: Okay. But next time, we get to pick.

Amy: It's fine. We'll have barbecue.
Sheldon: Oh, of course. I'm nothing if not flexible. I'm sure that at some point in the 3,000-year history of the Chinese empire, a cavalryman crossing the Gobi Desert was forced by hunger to eat his own horse and roast it over a campfire, hence, Chinese barbecue.

Sheldon: Leonard, where are you going?
Leonard: Well, to work. Just trying out a different route.
Sheldon: Okay. If we cross the county line, it's technically kidnapping.

Leonard: Well, if you don't approve of my driving, too bad. This is the new me. Get used to it.
Sheldon: Fine. Then this is the new me, and he finds the new you tiresome.
Leonard: How is that different than the old you?
Sheldon: The new me gives knowing winks. [winks]

Leonard: Well, all these years, I-I was afraid to say what I wanted. You know, even at work, you know, there's things I want to accomplish, but I didn't want to ruffle any feathers or step on any toes.
Sheldon: Feathers and toes? Is the new thing you're trying to accomplish ballroom dancing with a chicken? Look at that. The new me is hilarious.

Leonard: Always wanted to be the principal investigator on a plasma physics study.
Sheldon: Hey, look at that. The new you's funny, too.
Leonard: I'm serious. You know I'm gonna put together a proposal and tell President Siebert this is what I want to do. If he doesn't let me, there's plenty of other universities that will.
Sheldon: Sure there are. [winks]

Leonard: [to Penny] Fine, you want to talk about it? Let's talk about it. I-I'm not loving my job right now. And this is something that would make me happy. Don't you want me to be happy
Sheldon: [to Penny] Oh, I've been dinged on this before. Whatever you really think, you have to say yes.
Penny: [to Leonard] Of course I want you to be happy.
Sheldon: [to Penny] Well played.

Dr. Pemberton: What you said was really hurtful, especially because I thought we were friends.
Sheldon: Why would you think that?
Dr. Pemberton: Ouch.

Sheldon: No, no, no, no. Your money's no good here. [Sheldon takes the bill from Dr. Campbell and hands it to President Siebert]

Dr. Pemberton: Well, I'm glad that we hashed all that out, and moving forward, may the best team win.
Sheldon: I couldn't agree more. [quietly to Amy] We're the best team.
