The Fermentation Bifurcation

The Fermentation Bifurcation
Season 9, Episode 22 - Aired April 28, 2016

The gang goes to a wine bar and runs into Penny's old boyfriend, Zack. Also, Bernadette gets stuck spending the evening with Sheldon when she can't go wine tasting with the group, and things don't go as planned when Koothrappali introduces his new girlfriend, Claire.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Well, it makes perfect sense. Because you're an expectant mother, you can't drink alcohol. I don't like to. You can't have sushi. I don't like to. You can't go in hot tubs. I consider them vats of sweaty people soup.
Bernadette: Gee, Sheldon, I dont know.
Sheldon: Oh, come on. Roller coasters, caffeine, runny eggs, I've been avoiding these things all my life. And now, because you're pregnant, you have to.

Quote from Sheldon

Leonard: Hey, did you ever think about the military applications for the guidance system?
Sheldon: Of course.
Leonard: Does it bother you?
Sheldon: No, it did at first. But then I talked it through with Frank and Alicia, and they really helped put things into perspective.
Leonard: Who are these people?
Sheldon: Leonard, friends are like toilet paper. It's good to have extras under the sink.

Quote from Leonard

Penny: All right, well, let me know if you guys want to go.
Raj: I would love to. I do enjoy the complexity of an aged Pinot noir.
Leonard: I'm sure that would pair nicely with your fried nuggets of chicken.

Quote from Sheldon

Amy: Well, it sounds like a nice night. We should go.
Sheldon: Wine again? Yeah, no, thank you. I like my grapes the old-fashioned way, in a juice box.

Quote from Leonard

Leonard: The difference is she's bringing life into the world, and you suck it out.

Quote from Sheldon

Bernadette: So what do you want to do tonight?
Sheldon: Oh, I have quite the evening planned. Our foetus-friendly festival of fun begins with an in-depth look at the world of model trains, and then we'll kick things up a notch and explore all the different ways that you can make toast.
Bernadette: There's more than one?
Sheldon: You've heard of French toast?
Bernadette: (upbeat) Yeah.
Sheldon: Cinnamon toast?
Bernadette: (upbeat) Yeah.
Sheldon: Melba toast?
Bernadette: (upbeat) Yeah.
Sheldon: You get where I'm going here?
Bernadette: (downbeat) Yeah.

Quote from Howard

Zack: So how's the science world? What are you guys up to?
Howard: We've actually been working on a prototype for a navigation system we invented.
Leonard: But we won't bore you with the details.
Zack: Are you kidding? I love science. Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Mike deGrasse Tyson.
Amy: Mike deGrasse Tyson?
Howard: Yeah, you know, the boxer who grew a mustache and became a scientist.

Quote from Zack Johnson

Zack: So what's your invention?
Howard: Well, we're using quantum vortices to replace gyroscopes in guidance systems.
Leonard: What's neat is that they can maintain angular momentum indefinitely.
Zack: Angular momentum. I was wondering about that.

Quote from Sheldon

Sheldon: Your name is Bernatrix. You are a warrior queen. You're strong, beautiful and tall.
Bernadette: Oh. I like the idea of being tall.
Sheldon: I think you're gonna like a lot of things I have in store. For example, in this world, only the men get pregnant, so your husband is home trying not to pee when he laughs.
Bernadette: This is getting fun. What's next?
Sheldon: You're parched and weary from battle. You stand in front of a tavern that serves the coldest, most delicious ale in all the realm.
Bernadette: Oh, I haven't had a drink in months.
Sheldon: What do you do?
Bernadette: I storm in, slam my sword down, and say, barkeep, bring me the strongest ale you have and serve it in the skull of a goblin.
Sheldon: He wants to see I.D.

Quote from Zack Johnson

Raj: Zack, this is my friend Claire.
Zack: You're hot. You seeing anybody?
Raj: Uh, she's seeing me.
Zack: Why'd you say she's your friend?
Raj: We're just keeping it casual.
Zack: Why is he being casual with you? You seem great.
Claire: I don't know. Ask him.
Zack: Why are you being casual with her? She seems great.

Quote from Howard

Howard: Okay, let me stop you right there. We absolutely know our invention will not be used to destroy the world.
Leonard: How?
Howard: Because no one from the future has come back to kill us.

Quote from Zack Johnson

Raj: Hey, dude, you're killing me with Claire.
Zack: What are you talking about?
Raj: I mean, come on, look at you. You're classically handsome, you've got a swimmer's body. Next to you, I look like me.

Quote from Zack Johnson

Raj: Yeah, okay, just do me a favor and stop talking about how great Claire is.
Zack: Anything for you, my little foreign friend.

Quote from Zack Johnson

Zack: I see what you're saying. She's not so great.
Raj: Don't listen to him. He says crazy things all the time. Uh, watch. Marco.
Zack: Polo.

Quote from Zack Johnson

Raj: So, uh, what are you guys talking about?
Claire: Your friends were just telling me about all the other girls you're dating.
Raj: Why would you do that? I specifically asked you not to do that.
Penny: We didn't.
Amy: You just did.
Zack: Wow. Maybe none of you guys are smart.
