President Siebert: All right. I respect your decision.
Sheldon: You do?
President Siebert: Yes. You and Dr. Fowler have my full support.
Sheldon: Oh, okay. I anticipated a little more pushback.
President Siebert: Sorry, my job here is to serve your needs, both academic and personal.
Sheldon: Huh. Well, now I'm filled with all this nervous energy. I don't know quite what to do with it.
President Siebert: We have a fully equipped gymnasium.
Sheldon: Yeah, really? Where's that?
President Siebert: It's part of the new sports complex.
Sheldon: Oh. And where is that?
President Siebert: Come on, I'll show you.
Sheldon: Are there monkey bars?

Sheldon: Amy and I did this together, and I will not be part of an award that does not recognize the value of her contributions. So you either include both of us in the recommendation letter, or don't bother writing one.
President Siebert: I hope you know that's going to cause a fight between us and the Fermilab team.
Sheldon: If it's a fight that doesn't involve any touching, risk of physical harm or uncomfortable eye contact 'cause it's happening online or through intermediaries, I say bring it.

Receptionist: Uh, President Siebert, Dr. Cooper is-
Sheldon: I need to talk to you about the paper that Dr. Fowler and I published.
President Siebert: Send him in.

Howard: Why does this matter to you so much?
Bernadette: Because I believe in her, and I make people better. It's what I do.
Raj: Against their will?
Bernadette: It's no fun if they want to. That's just called watching.

Bernadette: I can't believe Penny doesn't want to head up my sales team.
Raj: That's too bad. But it's her decision, not yours.
Bernadette: Do you hear how dumb you sound?

Bernadette: Look at Howard. He was a disaster when I met him. Now he's a foxy astronaut with a hot wife.
Raj: Wait, he always wanted to be an astronaut.
Bernadette: He thinks that, too. That's how good I am.

Sheldon: Oh, but don't worry. I won't do that to you.
Amy: Maybe you should.
Sheldon: What?
Amy: This has been your lifelong dream. And you may not get another chance. I don't want to be the reason that you don't win a Nobel.
Sheldon: You're the only reason I deserve one.

Amy: What's wrong?
Sheldon: Why do you assume something's wrong?
Amy: Because you haven't touched your dinner, and you're literally ticking like a bomb about to go off.
Sheldon: Oh, Amy. You see through me like one of Penny's shirts.

Raj: Well, if you like fixing people, I could use some help.
Bernadette: Raj. Why do you think you stopped wearing Crocs and socks?
Raj: Uh, well, one day I just woke up and realized they looked silly.
Bernadette: Yes, you did. All on your own. (whispering): That's how good I am.

Howard: Wait, so what are you gonna do? Just badger her until she says yes?
Bernadette: Mm, that may have worked on you, but she's too smart for that.

Dr. Pemberton: We think that the three physicists should be the ones to win the Nobel Prize for physics.
Sheldon: Wait, so you want to cut Amy out?
Dr. Campbell: No, of course not.
Dr. Pemberton: We don't want to, but we're going to.
Sheldon: But she's my wife.
Dr. Pemberton: Yes, exactly, she's your wife. And she's a neuroscientist. It's like, what's she even doing on this paper? It just raises questions.
Dr. Campbell: Look, Fermilab is going to recommend the three of us to the Nobel Committee. The best chance we have is if your university does the same.
Sheldon: I see. So you really think that I'm the kind of man who would sell out his partner for the chance of winning a Nobel Prize?
Dr. Pemberton: Are you?
Sheldon: Boy, I hope not.

Sheldon: Well, too bad. This discovery belongs to Amy and me.
Dr. Pemberton: (sighs) Look, Dr. Cooper, we all want a Nobel Prize. Super-asymmetry could be the breakthrough that gets us there. But we can't fight over credit; we have to work together.
Sheldon: So you're saying that the four of us should just agree to share this discovery?
Dr. Pemberton: Well, no, unfortunately, only three people can share a Nobel.
Sheldon: Oh, that's right. So he's out?
Dr. Campbell: No, I'm not out.
Sheldon: So he's out?
Dr. Pemberton: Neither of us is out.

Sheldon: There you are.
Dr. Campbell: Dr. Cooper, hello.
Sheldon: Hello to you, too. Now stop trying to steal our Nobel Prize. You come up with your own idea.
Dr. Campbell: Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Dr. Pemberton: Wouldn't that be something, though?

Bernadette: Why don't you want to work with me? I know I can be tough, but that's just 'cause I'm surrounded by useless idiots.

Penny: Plus, you know, I didn't go to college. I'd be in charge of people that are far more educated with more experience; what if they don't listen to me?
Bernadette: Then you be really mean to them. Have I taught you nothing?
