The Earworm Reverberation
Season 9, Episode 10 - Aired December 10, 2015

Sheldon has a revelation when he realizes why a song was stuck in his head. Also, Amy invites Dave over for dinner despite their previous awkward date, and Wolowitz and Koothrappali become obsessed with a fan of their band, "Footprints on the Moon".

Quote from Penny

Penny: So you have a song stuck in your head. It happens to everybody.
Sheldon: Well, I'm not everybody. I have an eidetic memory. I should be able to remember what song this is, but I can't. Something's wrong with me.
Penny: I told you if we were patient, he'd figure it out for himself.

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: This song is never going to stop. Have you ever dealt with something so relentlessly irritating?
Leonard: That's a trick question, right?

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: I remember the song! It's called "Darlin'" by the Beach Boys! Oh, thank goodness! I'm not crazy! I don't have to take a pigeon as my bride!
Leonard: There goes our shot at him living on the roof.

Quote from Amy

Bernadette: So, you're really going out with Dave again?
Amy: Why not? He's actually a very nice guy.
Bernadette: But he spent an entire date talking about how much he loves Sheldon.
Amy: That's nothing Sheldon hasn't done before.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Amy, if you want to be my girlfriend again, I really want to be your boyfriend.
Amy: I really want that, too.
Sheldon: Good, because I love you.
Amy: I love you, too.
Dave: Kiss her, you brilliant fool!
(Sheldon kisses Amy)
Sheldon: Well, I'll let you get back to your date.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Well, she did soften your life, didn't she?
Sheldon: Yes! She's like the dryer sheets of my heart!

Quote from Penny

Sheldon: I know why the song was in my head.
Penny: Why?
Sheldon: It's about Amy.
Penny: Okay, look, I know Amy's like an old lady, but she's not old enough to have a song from the '60s written about her.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: This is Leonard. He's your best friend in the world.
Leonard: All right, just stop. This is ridiculous.
Sheldon: Sometimes he gets cranky, but you can trust him with your life. And he does more things for you than I can even begin to list.
Leonard: Thank you.

Quote from Penny

Penny: Oh, my God, he won't stop.
Leonard: How does he keep coming up with new ways to be annoying?
Penny: Nobody knows. That's why he's number one.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Amy, there was a song I couldn't get out of my head. Eventually, I realized the song was about you, and like that earworm, I can't get you out of my heart. So, what I'm trying to say is, you're my heartworm. The metaphorical kind, not the poodle-killing kind.

Quote from Penny

Leonard: I love you.
Penny: Who cares?

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: I'll pay $1,000 to watch you cut footloose.
Sheldon: This is Penny. She is your friend. If she offers you food, it's safe to take it. You probably paid for it, anyway.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Dear Crazy Future Sheldon, you were driven mad by an earworm. Your mind, once your most trusted asset, is now a sack of parrots and monkeys. So I'm going to tell you everything you need to know. Uh, first, music is dangerous. The movie Footloose tried to warn us, but we wouldn't listen.

Quote from other character

Amy: That's Sheldon.
Dave: You're kidding! How's my hair?

Quote from Leonard

Penny: Can you please go talk to him?
Leonard: Come on, I take care of him all day long. You do it for once.
Penny: Once? Who got the gum out of his hair?
Leonard: What do you want, a medal? It was your gum.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Dear Crazy Future Sheldon, this is a thermostat. It controls the temperature of the apartment. The ideal setting is 72 degrees. If you find this too cold, then put on a jacket. A straitjacket, 'cause 72's the best and you're crazy.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Hi, Dave. Uh, it's Amy.
Dave: Oh. How are you?
Amy: I'm fine. How are you?
Dave: Terrific. And pleasantly surprised to hear from you, given how I acted on our last date.
Amy: Yeah, well, we both made mistakes, you know. I took the last breadstick, you gushed over my ex-boyfriend like he was Leonard Nimoy and you were my ex-boyfriend.

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: Well, they were no help at all.
Leonard: Which is crazy, since rock and roll is all about good customer service.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Sheldon Cooper's descent into madness day two. It's 2:25 a.m. and I feel the urge to urinate. My normal urination time is 7:10 a.m., but here I am, in the middle of the night, struggling to keep my mind sharp and my pajamas dry. It's only a matter of time before my tenuous grasp on reality fades. I suppose I should pee while I still know what a toilet is.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Now this is your spot. You're very protective of it. When anyone else tries to sit here, you berate them relentlessly. It sounds mean, but somehow you make it adorable.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Since when do you hum songs?
Sheldon: What are you talking about?
Leonard: You were just humming.
Sheldon: Are you sure? Sometimes when my brain really gets moving, it makes noise.
Leonard: How does your brain feel about calculating the surface tension of the domain walls?
Sheldon: Let's see. (starts humming) Hey! I was humming. One point for Hufflepuff.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Hello, yes, I was hoping you could help me. What song is this? (Hums a tune(
You don't know? Well, how dare you call yourselves a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. My goodness. Do you sing along to the greatest hits of Elvis Presley with that mouth?

Quote from Penny

Leonard: Am I like the dryer sheets of your heart?
Penny: Better. You're the lint trap of my love.

Quote from Amy

Dave: Let me just check my schedule, he said, trying to seem like a man with things on his schedule.
Amy: How about Saturday?
Dave: Uh, hmm Let me see. Uh, Friday, farmers' market with Jay Z. Sunday, piano shopping with Elton John. Saturday works.

Quote from Howard

Raj: Did you know, at the United Nations, there's a Department for Outer Space Affairs? Howard: Really? Why?
Raj: They exist in case we ever make contact with an alien civilization.
Howard: Mmm, boy, that's one of those jobs that's boring, boring, boring. Then, "Oh, God! Where's the memo with what we do now?!"

Quote from Bernadette

Amy: Maybe intimate is what I need.
Bernadette: You sure? You've never really been with a man. Do you really want to start with one that's 6ft 7"?
Amy: Why not?
Bernadette: 'Cause it's like taking your driver's test in a bus.

Quote from Howard

Howard: We did raise the roof that night.
Raj: Yeah, we totally did.
Howard: Why do rock stars do drugs when this feels so great?

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: Well, I shouldn't be surprised. There's a rich history of brilliant minds descending into madness.
Penny: Come on, Sheldon. There are plenty of smart people who don't have mental problems.
Leonard: Yup, she's right. For every Newton who had a psychological issue, there's an Edison who was just a jerk. That could totally be you.

Quote from other character

Dave: This is delicious.
Amy: Thank you.
Dave: Been a long time since I had a home-cooked meal.
Amy: When you were married, did your wife cook?
Dave: Not at first, no. But when she began cheating on me with a French chef, she became quite the wiz in the kitchen.
Amy: So, a little silver lining.
Dave: I suppose. Yeah, nothing takes the sting out of a shattered life like a properly-seasoned bowl of onion soup.

Quote from other character

Dave: Okay, then. I'll, uh, see myself out. Amy, thank you for dinner.
Dr. Cooper, pleasure to meet you, sir. Uh, if perhaps sometime you have a spare moment, I'd, uh, love-love to discuss physics, or shoot the breeze, as you Yanks say.
Ah, what a lovely evening.

Quote from Howard

Raj: What do you want to write?
Howard: Something bad-ass. You know, like "Thanks for diggin' our vibe. "We'll keep rockin' if you keep rollin'."
Raj: Dude, if I was wearing a bra, I'd throw it at your head right now.
Howard: I'll keep rockin'. You don't do that.

Quote from Bernadette

Bernadette: So where's he taking you?
Amy: Oh, he's coming here. I'm actually making dinner.
Bernadette: Oh, that's a big step.
Amy: It is?
Bernadette: Yeah, you're inviting him into your home. It's intimate. It's where your underpants live.

Quote from Howard

Bernadette: Who's Trent?
Howard: Oh, he's our fan.
Bernadette: Fan of what?
Howard: Uh, did you forget? We're in a band.
Bernadette: You mean because you played one time in the comic book store?
Howard: And at the children's hospital until they asked us to leave.

Quote from Raj

Howard: Look at this. Trent is rebuilding a vintage motorcycle.
Raj: That is so cool! Old broken things are so much better than new things that work.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: People are also delighted by your love of pranks. (Softly) For example, Leonard has no idea what I did to his coffee. It wasn't "replace it with Folger's crystals," I'll tell you that much.

Quote from Howard

Raj: Maybe we should post a comment back to our fan and thank him.
Howard: What should we write?
Raj: Oh, how about, "We might be Footprints on the Moon, but your kind words sent us over the moon."
Howard: Someday you're gonna make an amazing grandma.

Quote from other character

Dave: Well, no need to be nervous with me. I'm just a harmless giant from a foreign land.

Quote from Leonard

Sheldon: Oh, I was always afraid this day would come. This might be the first step of my descent into madness, where I gradually test the limits of public nudity.
Penny: Public nudity?
Leonard: Eh, that just means going barefoot.

Quote from Raj

Raj: He is so cool! No hard feelings, but I'm throwing my hypothetical bra at him.

Quote from Sheldon

Penny: Do you even like the Beach Boys?
Sheldon: They have "beach" right in the name. What do you think?

Quote from Raj

Howard: So if you think that's creepy, you married the wrong guy.
Bernadette: Maybe I should marry Trent.
Raj: Yeah, like she could get Trent.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Is this what we're doing the rest of the night?
Sheldon: I'm surprised you have to ask.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: What are you doing in my room? Stop it, that's mine! Why are you so strong?!
