The Hook-Up Reverberation

The Hook-Up Reverberation
Season 8, Episode 4 - Aired October 6, 2014

Raj's openness about his romantic history leads to tension between his girlfriend Emily and Penny. Meanwhile, the guys consider investing in Stuart's comic book store to help it reopen after the fire.

Quote from Raj

Howard: You know, when I was a kid I loved going there but I could never get a ride.
Raj: Ooh, what if we got a van and drove around, and picked kids up?
Sheldon: Nice! Like at parks and schools.
Howard: Toy stores, puppet shows.
Leonard: Hold on, so your idea is to get a van and cruise the streets looking for kids to pick up?
Sheldon: Yes!
Leonard: And are you going to use candy to lure them in?
Raj: We are now!

Quote from Amy

Sheldon: I have some odd freckles on my buttocks. Can I make an appointment for you to look at them?
Emily: Erm, okay, I guess.
Amy: I'm with him three years, nothing. She's with him two minutes and he's taking his pants off.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Can you see how a grown man and accomplished scientist who invests in a store that sells picture books about flying men in colorful underwear might be wasting both his financial and intellectual resources?
Sheldon: No.
Amy: Then I think it's a terrific idea.
Sheldon: Great! Wait until you hear about our van.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Will you stay out of this?
Sheldon: If only Penny had said that once in a while.

Quote from Raj

Raj: I'm not the kind of guy who drops his friends because he's in a relationship.
Leonard: What happens if she doesn't like us?
Raj: Hey, you're my dear friends. You'll get a Christmas card for a couple of years and then you're dead to me.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Do you know how Penny told Raj he should have left her off his list.
Howard: Yeah.
Leonard: Do you think when she and I had that conversation she left people off her list?
Sheldon: I'm sure she did.
Leonard: Why?
Sheldon: Because if she hadn't, she'd still be wading through the list.

Quote from Raj

Leonard: Wow, Raj, you were not lying about her.
Raj: I told you she exists!

Quote from Raj

Raj: It's true. You're both gorgeous. Kinda says something about the man who could bed you both. *Laughs* (To Emily) You get why I've been alone most of my adult life?

Quote from Leonard

Raj: You guys kiss and hold hands.
Leonard: I've seen him do it. It's not romantic.

Quote from Leonard

Howard: Yeah, I wish Stuart would reopen, I hate this place, too.
Leonard: Okay, him I believe because he's an eighty-year-old man in a fifteen-year-old's t-shirt. You're just upset about Stuart, your mom and all their HBOs.

Quote from Raj

Penny: You told Emily we hooked up?
Raj: Well, in my defense, I tell everybody.

Quote from Amy

Bernadette: Did she say she didn't like you?
Penny: Of course not. Nobody ever says they don't like you straight to your face.
Amy: Heh, we have led different lives!

Quote from Sheldon

Howard: Since when do you read social science?
Sheldon: I go to the bathroom like everybody else.

Quote from Sheldon

Emily: I'm a resident at Huntington Hospital.
Sheldon: Oh, I like their emergency room. You know, even if it turns out you don't have Dengue Fever, they still let you take a lollipop.

Quote from Bernadette

Bernadette: Fine, what is it?
Howard: It's to help re-open the Comic Book Store.
Bernadette: Nope.

Quote from Amy

Penny: I don't know what Emily's so upset about anyway. Even if I had slept with him, so what? Everyone has a past.
Amy: Ahem.
Penny: Almost everyone has a past.

Quote from Raj

Raj: Well, I would never leave you off my list. And not just because without you we're playing fast and loose with the word "list".

Quote from Howard

Howard: You know, I can't even watch Game of Thrones now without thinking of my mother saying "Stuart, which one is Thrones?"

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: Boy, if there's one thing that gets my goat, it's those dadgum insurance companies.
Leonard: Why, because they won't get off your lawn?

Quote from Sheldon

Howard: All I know is he's got my mother buying four ply toilet paper. Four ply! If his butt is so delicate, why doesn't he use an Angora rabbit?
Sheldon: For starters, they shed and bite.

Quote from Bernadette

Howard: So me and the guys were talking about this great investment opportunity.
Bernadette: Nope.
Howard: But you didn't hear what it was.
Bernadette: I know.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: You didn't lose anyone when you met Amy.
Sheldon: The study refers to romantic partners. That's not the way I would categorize the two of us.

Quote from Amy

Amy: You really went your entire life without anyone saying I hate you to your face?
Penny: Yeah.
Amy: I'd say it now, but look at those cheekbones.

Quote from Penny

Penny: I brought coffee. I wasn't sure what you like, so I got a regular, a cappuccino and a chai tea. Since you like Raj, I thought you might be into that.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I miss Stuart's place. All this loud music and exposed brick, is this a comic book store or a rave at the third little pig's house?

Quote from Penny

Penny: It has also been shown to cause significantly fewer side effects than other oral contraceptives. Although it can cause acne, which if you ask me kind of increases its effectiveness as a contraceptive.

Quote from Penny

Penny: Yeah, maybe you're right. I used to think my high school P.E. teacher didn't like me, but it turned out she liked me a little too much.
Bernadette: Really?
Penny: Yeah. It was fine. We went to a Melissa Etheridge concert, I got an A, it all worked out.
