Quotes4

  • Raj Koothrappali: [dressed as Thor, Norse God of Thunder] Hey. Sorry I'm late but my hammer got stuck in the door on the bus.
  • Leonard: You went with Thor?
  • Raj Koothrappali: What? Just because I'm Indian I can't be a Norse God? No, no, no Raj has to be an Indian God. That's racism. I mean, look at Wolowitz. He's not English but he's dressed like Peter Pan. Sheldon is neither sound nor light but he's obviously the Doppler effect.
  • Howard Wolowitz: I'm not Peter Pan. I'm Robin Hood.
  • Raj Koothrappali: Really? Because I saw Peter Pan and you're dressed exactly like Cathy Rigby. She was a little bigger than you but it's basically the same look, man.
  • [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!"
  • Raj Koothrappali: If only I had his confidence. I have such difficulty speaking to women. Or around women. Or at times even effeminate men.
  • Leonard: [knock on the door] I'll get it!
  • [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]
  • Leonard: Oh, no!
  • Sheldon: Oh, no!
  • [Sheldon approaches. He's also the Flash]
  • Raj Koothrappali: Make way for the fastest man alive!
  • [Raj comes through the door. He's the Flash as well]
  • Raj Koothrappali: Oh, no!
  • Sheldon: See, this is why I wanted to have a costume meeting.
