Sheldon: Leonard, your wife is sitting right here. What are you doing?

Leonard: Tonight he wants to look at ladders at Home Depot.

Quote from Howard

Raj: What just happened?
Howard: A stranger just lured Sheldon away with a candy bar.

Quote from Sheldon

Ramona Nowitzki: Are these all from Peter Higgs?

Ramona Nowitzki: No.
Raj: Good to see you.

Quote from Stuart

Howard: Should we do something about Nowitzki?
Leonard: Like what?
Raj: Well, she's single, so if somebody else asks her out and she says yes, then we know she's not into Sheldon.
Stuart: I'll do it.
Leonard: No offense, Stuart, but the woman's a doctor.

Howard: She's not that kind of doctor.
Stuart: Oh. Well, her loss. I've been called a genuine medical oddity.

Leonard: If I take a Lactaid a half-hour before and some Pepto right after.
Raj: Sounds like a lot of work.
Leonard: Eh, I'm worth it.

Quote from Leonard

Howard: It's unbelievable. Sheldon has lunch with another woman and somehow my wife yells at me.
Leonard: Penny laid into me, too. Apparently, I'm overly fixated on premium Swiss chocolate bars.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I've learned some fun facts about New Jersey to help you make small talk. Would you like to know the state bird or the murder rate? They're both shocking.
Amy: Actually, I want to hear about you. How are things at home?
Sheldon: Well, I'm a lot less likely to see an Eastern Goldfinch or be murdered, I'll tell you that.

Quote from Amy

Penny: Well, what do you want us to do?
Amy: I don't know. Might be the New Jersey talking, but this Nowitzki broad needs to disappear.

Sheldon: Gentlemen, you may remember Dr. Nowitzki. She's back at Caltech for her postdoc.
Leonard: Hello.
Ramona Nowitzki: Hello.

Leonard: Oh. I love those.
Sheldon: (To Ramona) Let's sit somewhere else.

Quote from Howard

Leonard: Wait, isn't she the grad student that used to follow him around?

Quote from Leonard

Howard: How's Sheldon doing with Amy gone?
Leonard: Well, the last three nights I've had to take him to get a haircut, to the train store, and to a Walgreens in Arcadia where they still have the "good ibuprofen." Now, ask me how I'm doing with Amy gone.

Raj: Which is?
Howard: That ain't Sheldon.

Howard: If you'd like, we can help you out.
Leonard: Oh, that would be great.

Raj: It was a tutorial. And yes, I'm happy to keep Sheldon company.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: All right. What do you think is happening?

Penny: We need to talk.

Quote from Amy

Amy: It's so strange. Earlier today, I ended a sentence with a preposition, and you weren't there to correct my grammar.

Quote from Raj

Raj: No. I haven't played the race card yet.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Amy: In fact, that's when I started to really miss you.
Sheldon: You know you just split an infinitive.
Amy: Did I? Are you gonna teach me a lesson?
Sheldon: I am. It is naughty to put an adverb between the word "to" and the verb stem.
Amy: What are you gonna do about it?
Sheldon: I'm going to admonish you.
Amy: Vigorously?
Sheldon: That's the only kind of admonishing I do.

Penny: Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that exactly what we were supposed to stop from happening?

Leonard: You think you should call Amy?
Penny: You got fingers and a mouth, you call her.

Quote from Raj

Ramona Nowitzki: No, my work doesn't leave me a lot of time for relationships.
Raj: I think you made that very clear.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: So, Sheldon, have you talked to Amy?
Sheldon: Yes, we Skyped this morning and I'm sure I'll check in with her before I go to sleep.
Ramona Nowitzki: Sheldon talks about her all the time. I can't wait to meet her.
Sheldon: That is true. She keeps asking how long Amy's going to be gone.

Quote from Bernadette

Penny: Do you really think there's reason to worry?
Leonard: Yeah, she's definitely going after Sheldon.
Raj: I made a play for her and she shot me down.
Penny: All right, well, that doesn't prove anything.
Bernadette: Yeah, there's a million reasons a woman would shoot Raj down.
Raj: Like, really, a million?
Bernadette: Fine, hundreds.
Raj: Thank you.

Quote from Leonard

Raj: She's clearly having a working lunch and preferred to eat alone.

Howard: We should call Guinness, that might be a record.

Penny: We thought you meant not letting him run out into traffic.
Bernadette: Which he only did once.

Quote from Bernadette

Penny: Will you go with me?
