  • Sheldon: I'm confused. If there's no costume parade, what are we doing here?
  • Leonard: We're socializing. Meeting new people...
  • Sheldon: Telepathically?
  • Leonard: Why don't you just tell people you're a zebra?
  • Sheldon: Why don't you just tell people you're one of the seven dwarves?
  • Leonard: Because I'm Frodo!
  • Sheldon: Yes... Well... I'm the Doppler effect!
  • Sheldon: Like Jane Goodall observing the apes, I initially saw their interactions as confusing and unstructured, but patterns emerge, they have their own... language if you will.
  • Leonard: Go on.
  • Sheldon: Well, it seems that the newcomer approaches the existing group With the greeting: "How wasted am I?" which is met with an approving chorus of: "Dude!"
  • Leonard: Then what happens?
  • Sheldon: That's as far as I've gotten.
  • [first lines]
  • Raj Koothrappali: OK, if no-one else will say it, I will. We really suck at paint-ball.
  • Howard Wolowitz: That was absolutely humiliating.
  • Leonard: Oh, come on, some battles you win, some battles you lose.
  • Howard Wolowitz: Yes, but you don't have to lose to Kyle Bernstein's Bar-Mitzvah party.
  • Leonard: I think we have to acknowledge those were some fairly savage preadolescent Jews.
  • Sheldon: No, we were annihilated by our own incompetent and the inability of some people to follow the chain of command.
  • Leonard: Sheldon, let it go!
  • Sheldon: No, I want to talk about the fact that Wolowitz shot me in the back.
  • Howard Wolowitz: I shot you for good reason. You were leading us into disaster.
  • Sheldon: I was giving clear, concise orders.
  • Leonard: You hid behind a tree yelling: "Get the kid in the yarmulke; get the kid in the yarmulke!"
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Of course we're all animals, but some of us have climbed a little higher on the evolutionary tree.
  • Sheldon Cooper: If he understands that, you're in trouble.
  • Kurt: So, what? I'm unevolved?
  • Sheldon Cooper: You're in trouble.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: I'm going to assert my dominance face-to-face.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Face-to-face? Are you gonna wait for him to sit down, or are you gonna stand on the coffee table?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Maybe she wants to be friends and he wants something more.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Then he and I are on equal ground.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Yes, but you're much closer to it than he is.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass you?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Yes, but I need a wingman.

  • [Leonard, dressed as the Flash, answers the door]
  • Howard Wolowitz: PSHYOOO!
  • [Howard zooms through the door. He's also the Flash. He and Leonard are shocked]
