Quotes6

  • Howard Wolowitz: Even professional pitchers need a rubdown after the game.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: If you were throwing an actual ball. You were throwing air at a TV.
  • Howard Wolowitz: For your information, I also gave Leonard one hell of a high five.
  • Raj Koothrappali: You suck, Wolowitz!
  • Howard Wolowitz: What the hell was that?
  • Raj Koothrappali: I'm heckling you. It's a beloved baseball tradition.
  • Sheldon Cooper: He's right. And considering you're still waiting to be called for a game you played in fifth grade, you probably do suck.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: He's practicing.
  • Penny: For what?
  • Howard Wolowitz: The Angels wanted an astronaut to throw out the first pitch, so guess who they called?
  • Penny: What, you? Really?
  • Howard Wolowitz: Well, a lot of people who weren't available, but then me!
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: I could give you a few pointers. I played softball.
  • Howard Wolowitz: That would be great.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: And while you're at it, maybe we can work on butching up your run.
  • Howard Wolowitz: What's wrong with the way I run?
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski: Oh, nothing.
  • [Mimes a girly run as she exits]
  • Raj Koothrappali: So you never played baseball as a kid, not even Little League?
  • Howard Wolowitz: I was going to, but the day of tryouts, I found my dad's Playboy collection. Threw my arm out.
  • Mike Massimino: Hey Fruit Loops, what's up?
  • Howard Wolowitz: Hey Mike, listen, NASA asked me to throw out the first pitch at an Angels game. You got any advice?
  • Mike Massimino: Yeah. Don't do it. What else you up to?
  • Howard Wolowitz: Why shouldn't I do it?
  • Mike Massimino: There's no upside. If you do well, no one cares. And if you screw up, you're an idiot on YouTube forever.
