Amy: It's fine. We'll have barbecue.
Sheldon: Oh, of course. I'm nothing if not flexible. I'm sure that at some point in the 3,000-year history of the Chinese empire, a cavalryman crossing the Gobi Desert was forced by hunger to eat his own horse and roast it over a campfire, hence, Chinese barbecue.

Leonard: Don't take this the wrong way, but that was even more exciting than the sex.
Penny: Don't take this the wrong way, but yes, it was.

Raj: And, with apologies to Lady Gaga, that's how a star is born.
Howard: Told you he was gonna mention Lady Gaga.
Bernadette: At least he didn't talk about how much he cried during that movie.
Raj: Although, if you haven't seen that movie, you should. I cried so much.

Raj: Okay, any other questions? Mm. Not about aliens? [to Bernadette] What?
Bernadette: Do you still want me to ask the one you gave me? 'Cause it kind of feels like we're past that.

Raj: Well, that's the lecture for today. Uh, let's open it up for questions. Uh- Oh, you! Sir, yes. You have a question?
Howard: Yeah. Actually, I have a two-part question.
Raj: Are you sure? I get the sense it's only one part.
Howard: No, no, it's two. Part one: the new star you were talking about. How long did it take that light to reach Earth? And part two: is it true you plant your friends in the audience to ask questions?
Raj: 46,000 years. And no, I don't plant my friends, because apparently, I don't have any.

Howard: I have a question about the aliens you found.
Raj: That's not what I said, Howard.
Bernadette: Hold on a second. Do you two know each other?

Amy: Do I want to ask?
Leonard: Oh, when I go upstairs, Penny's gonna make me choose what we're gonna do tonight without taking her feelings into consideration, and I-I don't know if I'm up for it.
Amy: Poor baby. When I go upstairs, Sheldon's gonna give me a 25-minute lecture about what Hulk would be like if he were made of metal. Part of his ongoing series, "What If Hulk Were Made of Other Things?"

Leonard: I've always been a people pleaser. Is that so bad? It's gotten me this far.
Amy: What, almost up four flights of stairs?

Leonard: Okay, if I go in there and pick something I want to do that she also wants to do, she's gonna think I'm just picking it to make her happy. So I feel like I have to pick something I know she doesn't want to do or she's gonna be disappointed. Right? What do you think?
Amy: Think I've got ice cream in this bag that's starting to melt.

Amy: Look, when you wanted Penny, you didn't care what anybody else thought or wanted, including Penny.
Leonard: That's true. Yeah, yeah, there was something I wanted, I went after it and I got it.
Amy: Now you're hiding from it on the stairs, so it all worked out.

Leonard: Hey. I thought about what I want to do tonight, and I didn't take your feelings into consideration at all.
Penny: Great.
Leonard: I want to have sex.
Penny: Wow, sex with your wife. You're really swinging for the fences there, Hofstadter.

Leonard: Yeah, we don't have to.
Penny: No! I like it. Let's go.
Leonard: Oh, o-okay. And then after that, we're gonna watch Star Trek: Discovery.
Penny: All right. Well, just a warning, I might be on my phone for most of it.
Leonard: That's fine. Wait, you mean just the Star Trek- Actually, I don't care.

Anu: What's that smell?
Raj: Uh, everyone has their own theory. Dr. Tibourgh thinks it's mold. I think it's Dr. Tibourgh.

Raj: And this is the telescope room where I spend a lot of my evenings.
Anu: Where's the telescope?
Raj: Hawaii.
Anu: That's cool.
Raj: Yeah, so, you know aloha.

Raj: So, I recently observed some optical flashes. It could be light bouncing off a natural object, but those tend to be less reflective, so could be evidence of something alien-made.
Anu: Oh, this suddenly got exciting.
Raj: Oh. When you say "exciting," do you mean "go back to my place" exciting or "hold our breath and do it here"? [Anu kisses Raj] Mahalo.
