Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Now, wait, wait, are you trying to exclude me?
President Siebert: Look, Sheldon, you're a brilliant man, but your people skills are-
Sheldon: This is not barbecue sauce! This is steak sauce! What are you trying to pull?
President Siebert: Like that.
Sheldon: This is ridiculous. It is my work, too, and I am perfectly capable of keeping it together for an interview.

[Sheldon's face starts twitching violently]
Amy: Seriously, can we get this man some barbecue sauce!?

Sheldon: ... I'll be in the car.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: What is up with you two?
Stuart: Well, it's kind of hard to explain. Uh, you know when things are going great, but you worry that any minute you might screw everything up?
Penny: No.
Leonard: Yes. If you really like her, you can't let fear get in the way. You have to move forward.
Stuart: And at a certain point, the fear of losing her goes away?
Leonard: I will let you know.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: I can't believe you're taking this out on me. I was just trying to get publicity for our paper.
Sheldon: By making it seem like it was your idea?
Amy: I didn't write the headline, Sheldon. Did you even read the article? Because I talk about you continuously.
Sheldon: I know, and it just made you sound modest and charming.
Amy: Why can't you just be proud of me?
Sheldon: I am proud of you.
Amy: Really? Because you sound jealous.
Sheldon: Well, I'm that, too. I've seen Inside Out. I know I can feel two things at once.
[Bernadette fires at them]
Amy: Ow!
Sheldon: Ow! Well now I feel three things.

Quote from Penny

Penny: All right, I take Bernadette.
Howard: Really? You're picking her over me?
Penny: Yeah, 'cause she's vicious and can hide behind a mushroom.

Quote from Stuart

Denise: Um, Sheldon.
Penny: Raj.
Denise: Amy.
Penny: I'll take Anu.
Denise: Howard.

Stuart: Yes!

Quote from Stuart

Stuart: Ow. I'm hit. Ow. I said I was hit.
Denise: Sorry.
Stuart: Ow. Why do you keep shooting me?
Denise: Why don't you want to move in with me?
Stuart: I-I didn't say I didn't want to.
Denise: No, you just ran away. Stuart? Stuart?! Did you run away again?
Stuart: [in the distance] No.

Quote from Howard

Denise: Okay, guys, we need some people to stay here and guard the flag and some people to move out and try to capture theirs.
Leonard: Okay. Sheldon, do you want to stay here and?
Sheldon: What? Hold down the fort? 'Cause that's all I'm good for. Is that what you were going to say?
Amy: You know that's not what he meant.
Sheldon: Oh, why don't you go out there? Maybe you'll be the neurobiologist who revolutionizes paintball.
Amy: Stop it. You're being ridiculous.
Sheldon: Am I? Maybe it's just my poor people skills.
Amy: Oh, it's definitely your poor people skills.
Howard: All right, the choices are get shot at or stay here and listen to them fight.
Leonard, Denise and Howard: Shot at.

Quote from Sheldon

President Siebert: And that headline,"The Neurobiologist Who Revolutionized Physics".
Sheldon: I'm sorry. The who who did what to, huh?

Quote from Raj

Bernadette: Really? She asked you to move in with her?

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: Sheldon, I'm nervous, and I wish you were coming with me.
Sheldon: If it helps, I wrote up some possible questions and answers for you.
Amy: "Whom do you love more, "Sheldon the scientist or Sheldon the man? Answer: Sheldon the scientist, but by such a slim margin that it's statistically insignificant." Well, you really managed to capture my voice.

Quote from Stuart

Denise: That's a lot of bruises.
Stuart: Yeah, well, you shot me a lot of times. That's not even counting the bruises on the inside.
Denise: 'Cause I hurt your feelings?
Stuart: Let's hope that's all it is.

Quote from Raj

Anu: Someone texting you?
Raj: Uh, no. It's just my, uh, doorbell camera.
Anu: Oh. I got one of those for my place, but I never installed it.
Raj: Oh, it's easy. I can do it for you. You're gonna love it. It's how I found out a raccoon was stealing my cheese-of-the-month club.
Anu: What did you do?
Raj: Nothing. I didn't want to piss it off. It was, like, huge from eating all the cheese.

Quote from Raj

Anu: So I told my mom she just needed to back off. This is our wedding, and if anyone's gonna design the floral arrangements, it's going to be my man.
Raj: Thank you. I mean, I'm not trying to be a groomzilla, but this is my specialty.

Quote from Stuart

Stuart: Ah, look, I'm sorry that I freaked out. It's just that things are going so good with us, and I'm afraid that if we go too fast, I am gonna mess it up.
Denise: I get that. I don't want to mess things up, either.
Stuart: Um, I got you something. It's a key to my place to show you that I'm serious.
Denise: Thank you. Mm. Well, isn't this technically a key to Howard and Bernadette's place?
Stuart: Yes, so don't ever use it or let them know that you have it.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: A toast to Sheldon and Amy and the publication of your super-asymmetry paper. We are so proud of you guys. Cheers.
Amy: Thanks.
Sheldon: Ooh! That is PhD-licious.

Quote from President Siebert

President Siebert: I just want you to know that you have our full support, and we're organizing a big media push. Articles. Interviews.
Amy: Oh, you want us to do interviews?
President Siebert: Well, we're thinking a divide-and-conquer approach here, where you do the interviews, and Sheldon stays here and holds down the fort. You know, in case there's an emergency.
Sheldon: What kind of an emergency would there be in physics?
President Siebert: I don't know, maybe there's an object in motion that won't stay in motion. Or a reaction that's equal but not opposite.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Champagne, a champagne, a champagne with a packet of Splenda in it.
Sheldon: You know what I call this drink?
Penny: A waste of champagne?
Sheldon: No. A Dr. Cooper. Because-
Amy: He's also sweet and bubbly.
Leonard: All right.

Quote from Raj

Leonard: Hey, Penny and I were thinking of getting a big paintball game together.

Leonard: She doesn't want to shoot me.
Raj: Who doesn't want to shoot you?
Leonard: Penny.
Raj: No, that doesn't sound right.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: She just wants to play paintball. It combines my love of whimsy with her love of making grown men cry.

Quote from Raj

Anu: This is pretty exciting, sneaking around like this.
Raj: Oh, so you like sneaking around. Good to know.
Anu: What's that supposed to mean?
Raj: Nothing. Never mind. Let me see if the coast is clear.
Anu: See anybody?
Raj: Yes, I saw a strange man going into your house the other night!
Anu: What?
Raj: But out there, there's nobody.

Quote from Penny

Amy: It sounds like you don't want Sheldon to do the interviews.

Quote from Stuart

Denise: Come here.
Stuart: Oh. Uh, no. I appreciate it, but seriously, this is all bruise.
Denise: Kiss?
Stuart: Gently. Ow.

Quote from Penny

Leonard: So, have you guys gotten any feedback yet?
Amy: Well, there are some comments online, but we haven't read them. We decided we don't care what people say about our work.
Penny: Good for you. People online can be so mean. I posted a picture of myself on Instagram, and some jerk said I looked so skinny I might disappear.
Leonard: And yet, somehow she soldiers on.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Although, Amy and I did give the world a gift. It would be nice to read some of the thank-you notes.
Leonard: I'm surprised you're interested in some stranger's opinion.
Sheldon: Well, as I always say, a stranger's just a friend who hasn't complimented me yet.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: We can take you. Come on, Sheldon.
Sheldon: Okay. But I should warn you, we're in a bit of a spat. At least I think we are. Amy, are we still in a spat?

Sheldon: We are.

Quote from Anu

Raj: Where are you going?
Anu: Home. Don't worry. I'll wave to the doorbell when I get there.

Howard: Sorry. That's gonna leave a bruise.
Bernadette: Yeah, a big one.
Howard: Does it hurt?
Bernadette: A little. Want to kiss it and make it better?
Howard: I do.

Quote from Raj

Raj: So you're still talking to your ex-boyfriend?
Anu: Yes, and I'm not gonna apologize for that. And you need to delete that app from your phone.
Raj: Because you're hiding something from me?
Anu: No, because you should trust me!
Raj: How can I trust you?! I barely even know you!
Anu: Then what are we doing? Why are we planning a wedding?
Raj: I don't know.

Quote from Leonard

Amy: Okay. I'll read them.
Leonard: If any of them accuse you of being too pretty, Penny can help you through it.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: Bang, you're out.
Penny: What?! I'm not out. You didn't even shoot me.

Amy: Do you ever feel guilty that we get to eat in the fancy dining room while our friends have to eat in the regular one?

Quote from Howard

Howard: He's got bags. He's probably just delivering food.
