Raj Koothrappali
- Raj Koothrappali: [Attempting to determine which Sci-fi show to watch the two heroes expand the rock-paper-scissors game] I'll tell you what. How about we go rock-paper-scissors?
- Sheldon Cooper: Ooh, I don't think so. Anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.
- Raj Koothrappali: What?
- Sheldon Cooper: It's very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors.
- Howard Wolowitz: There's got to be other options.
- Raj Koothrappali: Could try calling Triple-A. But based on NASA's latest time table, they won't get there for thirty-five years.
- Sheldon Cooper: Plus, I understand that you have to be standing next to the vehicle with your card when they arrive.
- Raj Koothrappali: Oh, snap!
- Sheldon Cooper: Snap what?
- Raj Koothrappali: Okay, who gets the extra dumpling?
- Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz: Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!
- [They all draw Spock]
- Sheldon Cooper: Okay, one of us is going to have to stop putting up Spock.
- Howard Wolowitz: How do we decide that?
- Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz: Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!
- Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz: [They all draw Spock again] Ahh!
- [first lines]
- Sheldon Cooper: Oh look, Saturn 3 is on.
- Raj Koothrappali: I don't want to watch Saturn 3; Deep Space 9 is better.
- Sheldon Cooper: How is Deep Space 9 better than Saturn 3?
- Raj Koothrappali: Simple subtraction will tell you it's six better.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Compromise; watch Babylon 5.
- [chuckles]
- Sheldon Cooper: In what sense is that a compromise?
- Leonard Hofstadter: Well, five is part way between three an... Never mind.
- Raj Koothrappali: Are you joking? Star Trek V is the standard against which all badness is measured!
- Sheldon Cooper: No; no, no. Star Trek V has specific failures in writing and direction while Star Trek I fails across the board: art direction, costuming, music, sound editing.
