The Plagiarism Schism

The Plagiarism Schism
Season 12, Episode 21 - Aired May 2, 2019

After Barry Kripke reveals that Dr. Pemberton plagiarized his thesis in college, Sheldon and Amy debate whether to expose the fraud. Meanwhile, Bernadette tells Howard about the worst thing she ever did to get something she wanted.

Quote from Penny

Amy: Your husband was acting kind of weird today.
Penny: You sure you're not thinking about your husband?
Amy: No. He was acting all sketchy. Almost like he was guilty or something.
Penny: Oh. Well, that doesn't mean anything. I mean, Leonard has resting guilt face.
Yeah, it's- It's like, "What are you guilty about, Leonard?" "Nothing." "Well, then, tell it to your face." [scoffs]

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: Sheldon, if someone were gonna do something ethically murky on your behalf, would you rather know about it or not know about it to retain your innocence?
Sheldon: Well, now that I know there's a thing to know, I have to know. Can't help myself; I'm a fact addict.
Amy: That's not a real thing.
Sheldon: And that's a fact.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: I mean, it's sweet that you want to help, but we don't want you compromising your integrity for us.
Sheldon: Wait, what- Really? I thought we were just worried about looking bad.
Amy: It could be both.
Sheldon: Okay. But I'm gonna go with my reason. Yours is too complicated.

Quote from Howard

Howard: Listen, I did something kind of stupid today.
Bernadette: Okay.
Howard: I went to The Cheesecake Factory to try to figure out who that waitress was.
Bernadette: Howie.
Howard: Don't worry, I didn't find out, because I realized I didn't even care. While I was there, I started asking myself, "Why does this mean anything to me?" And I guess the truth is it was all about my vanity. And why should I need to be validated by another woman liking me when the best woman in the world already loves me? And I just wanted you to know that. [chuckles]
Bernadette: The restaurant manager already called. You really creeped a lot of people out.
Howard: And I regret that. [chuckles] Because the only woman I want to creep out is the mother of my children.
Bernadette: Well, you're off to a good start.

Quote from Sheldon

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

Quote from President Siebert

Dr. Campbell: Ignore them; they're just mean people.
President Siebert: Uh, not mean, just sorry. Seem mean, are sorry. Happens all the time.

Quote from President Siebert

Dr. Pemberton: It's okay. I talked to my therapist, and she made me realize that what you said was really more about your own insecurities.
Amy: I'm sorry, what?
President Siebert: There you go, she's sorry. We all heard it. Moving on.

Quote from Sheldon

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

Quote from Sheldon

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.

Quote from President Siebert

Barry Kripke: You can come, too.
President Siebert: That's a hard pass.

Quote from Amy

Amy: If we have damaging and embarrassing information about someone, should we keep it to ourselves or expose them?
[Everyone freezes and looks nervously at Amy]

Quote from Penny

Bernadette: I don't know. If someone's a cheater, they should be held accountable no matter how long ago it was.
Penny: Okay, now you just sound crazy.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: No, no, I agree with Bernadette. If Pemberton cheated, maybe he shouldn't have a career in the first place. There's plenty of people that didn't plagiarize.
Penny: And a few of us who did, but it's only 'cause The Scarlet Letter was so boring.
Leonard: Aw, I love The Scarlet Letter. That's where I got my taste for bad girls.

Quote from Bernadette

Bernadette: I'm just saying, Sheldon and Amy deserve to win, and sometimes that means doing what you got to do.
Howard: Don't you think it's better to take the high road?
Bernadette: Yeah, and instead of guns, armies should carry candy canes that shoot wishes.

Quote from Bernadette

Bernadette: When we first met, there was another waitress at The Cheesecake Factory who thought you were cute, so I told her you had all the hepatitises, A through Z.
Howard: There aren't 26 hepatitises.
Bernadette: Well, if she was smart enough to know that, she wouldn't still be working at a Cheesecake Factory.
