Leonard: So, I spent the whole day putting together this proposal, and tomorrow I'm gonna tell President Siebert that this is what I want to do.
Penny: Oh. Well, this looks great.
Leonard: You didn't even open it.
Penny: Well, no, it's got a nice, you know, science-y heft to it.

Penny: Sheldon, if this is what he wants, he should ask for it. I mean, what's the worst that happens? They say no.
Leonard: Well, I'm not gonna let them say no. If they don't want me to quit, this is what it's gonna take.
Penny: Wait, you're gonna quit?
Leonard: Yeah. It's like you said, I have to go after what I want, and if I can't get that at Caltech, there are plenty of other universities in the world.
Penny: W- In the world? I can't even get you to go to the beach, and now you want to move to the world?

Leonard: [to Penny] Fine, you want to talk about it? Let's talk about it. I-I'm not loving my job right now. And this is something that would make me happy. Don't you want me to be happy
Sheldon: [to Penny] Oh, I've been dinged on this before. Whatever you really think, you have to say yes.
Penny: [to Leonard] Of course I want you to be happy.
Sheldon: [to Penny] Well played.

Dr. Pemberton: What you said was really hurtful, especially because I thought we were friends.
Sheldon: Why would you think that?
Dr. Pemberton: Ouch.

Dr. Campbell: Ignore them; they're just mean people.
President Siebert: Uh, not mean, just sorry. Seem mean, are sorry. Happens all the time.

Dr. Pemberton: It's okay. I talked to my therapist, and she made me realize that what you said was really more about your own insecurities.
Amy: I'm sorry, what?
President Siebert: There you go, she's sorry. We all heard it. Moving on.

Sheldon: No, no, no, no. Your money's no good here. [Sheldon takes the bill from Dr. Campbell and hands it to President Siebert]

Dr. Pemberton: Well, I'm glad that we hashed all that out, and moving forward, may the best team win.
Sheldon: I couldn't agree more. [quietly to Amy] We're the best team.

Barry Kripke: You can come, too.
President Siebert: That's a hard pass.

Amy: If we have damaging and embarrassing information about someone, should we keep it to ourselves or expose them?
[Everyone freezes and looks nervously at Amy]

Bernadette: I don't know. If someone's a cheater, they should be held accountable no matter how long ago it was.
Penny: Okay, now you just sound crazy.

Leonard: No, no, I agree with Bernadette. If Pemberton cheated, maybe he shouldn't have a career in the first place. There's plenty of people that didn't plagiarize.
Penny: And a few of us who did, but it's only 'cause The Scarlet Letter was so boring.
Leonard: Aw, I love The Scarlet Letter. That's where I got my taste for bad girls.

Bernadette: I'm just saying, Sheldon and Amy deserve to win, and sometimes that means doing what you got to do.
Howard: Don't you think it's better to take the high road?
Bernadette: Yeah, and instead of guns, armies should carry candy canes that shoot wishes.

Bernadette: When we first met, there was another waitress at The Cheesecake Factory who thought you were cute, so I told her you had all the hepatitises, A through Z.
Howard: There aren't 26 hepatitises.
Bernadette: Well, if she was smart enough to know that, she wouldn't still be working at a Cheesecake Factory.

Howard: Oh, she still works there? Who was it?
Bernadette: Why does it matter?
Howard: You're right, it doesn't matter 'cause I got the best one. Was it Susan?
Bernadette: Why? Because she's tall?
Howard: Good night.
