Quote from Raj

Leonard: Well, the only way we can play teams at this point is if we cut Raj in half.
Raj: Oh, sure, cut the foreigner in half. There's a billion more where he came from.

Quote from Penny

Penny: Wait. Wait, Sheldon come back, you forgot something.
Sheldon: What?

Quote from Penny

Penny: Hey, guys! My friends and I got tired of dancing so we came over to have sex with you.

Quote from Howard

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Oh, what fresh hell is this?

Quote from Sheldon

Chen: Hi, fellas. Oh, where's your annoying little friend who thinks he speaks Mandarin?

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Anything else?
Sheldon: Yes. If you use my toothbrush, I will jump out that window. Please don't come to my funeral. Have a good night.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: The wheel was a great idea. Relativity was a great idea. This is a notion, and a rather sucky one.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Ugh, I cannot believe Christy let Howard into my apartment.
Sheldon: And I cannot believe people pay for horoscopes. But on a more serious note, it's 8:13 and we're still not playing "Halo".

Quote from Mrs. Wolowitz

Mrs. Wolowitz: That's right. Go back to Babylon, you whore!

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Ha-ha! There goes your head again.
Sheldon: Okay, it's not good sportsmanship to shoot somebody who's just re-spawned. You need to give them a chance to-
Now, come on!

Quote from Howard

Howard: See a Penny, pick her up, and all the day, you'll have good luck.
Penny: No, you won't.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I don't know how, but she is cheating! Nobody can be that attractive and this skilled at a videogame.

Quote from Raj

Raj: Not only are there children starving in India, there's an Indian starving right here.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Yeah, I apologize for my earlier outburst! Who needs Halo when we can be regaled delightfully with the folksy tale of the "whore of Omaha"?

Quote from Penny

Penny: I grew up on a farm. From what I heard, they're either having sex or Howard's caught in a milking machine.

Quote from Sheldon

Christy: Mmm! There's my little engine that could.
*Howard makes train noise*
Sheldon: There's one beloved children's book I'll never read again.

Howard: When they perfect human cloning, I'm gonna order 12 of those.

Quote from Penny

Leonard: If you don't like this Christy, why are you letting her stay?
Penny: Well, she was engaged to my cousin while she was sleeping with my brother, so she's kind of family.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: I don't think she's a whore.
Penny: Oh no, she's definitely a whore. She has no standards. ... Wait, where's Howard?
*Off screen:*
Wolowitz: Bonjour, mademoiselle. I understand you're new in town.
Sheldon: Oh, good God!
