The Comic Book Store Regeneration
Season 8, Episode 15 - Aired February 19, 2015

As they prepare for the reopening of Stuart's comic book store, the gang is at each other's throats. Howard is angry at Stuart for taking furniture from his mother, while Penny and Leonard are angry with Amy and Sheldon for running experiments on them. Meanwhile, Leonard and Raj think they see Firefly star Nathan Fillion at a restaurant.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: May I say something?
Leonard: Not right now, Sheldon.
Sheldon: But I think it may be comforting.
Leonard: Buddy-
Howard: No, it's okay. What?
Sheldon: When I lost my own father, I didn't have any friends to help me through it. You do.

Quote from Penny

Penny: At one point, they had me figure out how to get a banana out of a puzzle box.
Leonard: Wait, Sheldon gave me a banana in a box. He was testing me, too.
Penny: Unbelievable.
Leonard: And how could a chimp even solve that? That was impossible.
Penny: Really? You couldn't get it out?

Quote from Bernadette

Bernadette: She's just being nice.
Howard: Well, I'm her son, how come she doesn't send someone to check on me if I'm lonely.
Bernadette: Because you have a wife!
Howard: Yeah, well, sometimes you work late.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: The place really looks great.
Raj: Yeah, you should have burnt it down years ago.
Stuart: I keep telling you, I didn't burn it down.
Leonard: We know. We know. Because burning something down for the insurance money is a crime. *wink*

Quote from Raj

Raj: Yeah, Mrs. Wolowitz was pretty special. When I first moved to America, Howard was my only friend, and she made me feel so welcome in her home. Which says a lot, because those first few years she thought I was the gardener.

Quote from Penny

Sheldon: Is that all you have? Shop-worn tidbits like "talk to her" and "let it go"? Gee, Penny, life's given me lemons, what should I do?
Penny: Well, you could shove them somewhere.

Quote from Bernadette

Howard: That would be great. I'd love for things between me and mom to get back to normal.
Bernadette: Well, normal's a strong word, but sure.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I didn't care for her yelling, but now that I'm not going to hear it again, I'm sad.
Leonard: If you want, I can yell at you later.
Sheldon: It won't be as good.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: You know Barry and I have a professional rivalry. You heard him, he told me to suck eggs. If we were friends, he would have suggested I suck something more pleasant.

Why are you laughing? Did you learn something?

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Let it go? I have heard that my whole life. Every time something upsets me, someone says let it go. Like it's my fault and it's not okay to feel the way I feel.

Quote from Howard

Howard: Why don't you just clean out the whole room? Take the string-art clown I made her in third grade. And the ribbon I got in swim class for putting my face in the water.

Quote from Howard

Stuart: Some son! Looks like you spent ten minutes on that clown art.
Howard: Well, maybe I should have gone to a fancy art school like you, then I could run a failed comic shop and mooch off some guy's mother.

Quote from Stuart

Stuart: I can't believe she's gone. That woman took me in. If it wasn't for her, I would have been homeless.
Amy: One of us would have taken you in.
Stuart: Yeah, I don't recall any offers. But you know what, I'm glad it worked out the way it did, because I got to know this wonderful person.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: That's fascinating. I can't wait to read it.
Sheldon: Oh, me as well. Please email it to [email protected] Why .biz? Because I just gave you the business. And also bazinga.com was taken.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: To Mrs. Wolowitz. A loving mother. To all of us. We'll miss you.

Quote from Amy

Penny: I don't want five dollars, I want my dignity.
Amy: So, what are we talking, like ten bucks?

Quote from Howard

Bernadette: It's just furniture.
Howard: It's my mom's furniture. It belongs in the house I grew up in, next to that pile of TV Guides and in full view of what, for a ten-year-old, was a quality piece of string-art!

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: I've invented a science joke. Would you like to hear it?
Amy: Sure.
Sheldon: How many Edisons does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Amy: How many?
Sheldon: Who cares? He stole the idea and doesn't deserve his own joke.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: When I was doing string theory and hit a dead end, why didn't you try to help me?
Amy: I did. You said the only math biologists know is if you have three frogs and one jumps away, that leaves two frogs.
Sheldon: That's pretty funny. That does sound like me.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: But that doesn't mean that you should be standing on street corners, handing out your math to whatever guy comes along.

Quote from Raj

Customer: I think you made a mistake, I'm not an actor.
Raj: Don't say that. I mean, you're not Dame Judi Dench, but you're pretty great.

Quote from Penny

Penny: I really thought he was going to say "let it go".

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Besides, aren't you the one who says there's nothing more important than the advancement of science?
Sheldon: No, I said there's nothing more important than me advancing science.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: So you guys were testing us both? What is the matter with you?
Penny: What's the matter with them is they both think they're so smart, they don't care if they hurt other people's feelings.
Amy: That's not true.
Sheldon: That sounds like us.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Penny, I really want to eat this banana, but it's stuck inside this bamboo puzzle box.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: Why don't we go get the food for the party?
Stuart: Thank you.
Raj: Smart. Looks like we're being helpful.
Leonard: When really we're just exiting an uncomfortable situation. *fist bumps with Raj*

Quote from Raj

Raj: Hang on. If you're really Nathan Fillion, what's the line from Firefly about your bonnet?
Customer: I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
Leonard: That's it. That's the line.
Raj: Although, I knew the line, doesn't make me Nathan Fillion.

Quote from Raj

Leonard: If he's not nice, it's gonna make it hard for me to watch him in anything again.
Raj: The guy who plays Jon Snow was a jerk, we still watch Game of Thrones.
Leonard: He was a jerk because you rear-ended him.
Raj: I was distracted. It's weird seeing a member of the Night's Watch with a kayak strapped to his car.

Quote from Bernadette

Howard: That is a good point. But I didn't marry you for good points. I married you to blindly support me no matter how ridiculous I'm being.
Bernadette: This is why I had to rewrite our wedding vows.

Quote from Raj

Raj: I don't know why he's grumpy. I got mistaken for that guy in Life of Pi once, I'm still floating.

Quote from Penny

Penny: What's up?
Sheldon: I'm mad at Amy.
Penny: Did you she leave pit stains in your favorite crop top, too?

Quote from Raj

Customer: Do you want the picture or not?
Raj: I want a picture with Nathan Fillion.
Customer: How about a picture with a guy who looks like Nathan Fillion, but a little more annoyed than Nathan Fillion usually is?
Leonard: What do you think?
Raj: Eh, it's good enough for Facebook.

Quote from Raj

Bernadette: You helped him?
Raj: No, Stuart picked out those throw pillows all on his own.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Just think about something else.
Sheldon: Can I think about the spiny anteater?
Penny: Sure.
Sheldon: The spiny anteater never went behind my back and worked with Barry Kripke.
That didn't help at all.

Quote from Penny

Penny: Whenever I'd see her, she'd say I was too skinny and would try and feed me.
Amy: She did that to me, too.
Penny: Don't take this away from me.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: I can't believe you were testing me against a chimp.
Sheldon: Excuse me, Amy was testing you. I was rooting for you. Good job on that banana box, by the way.
