Quotes6

  • Sheldon Cooper: Wine again? No, thank you. I like my grapes the old-fashioned way: in a juice box.
  • [first lines]
  • Penny Hofstadter: Oh, hey, if you guys are free this weekend, I won a night of wine-tasting from work.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: That sounds fun.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Mm-hm.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: How come scientists don't win free stuff like sales people do?
  • Howard Wolowitz: 'Cause we're not in it for the stuff; we're in it for the groupies.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Personally, I find the notion of external rewards demeaning; I pursue science for the intrinsic joy of discovery.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: But you always say that you want to win a Nobel prize.
  • Sheldon Cooper: I also say don't contradict me in front of my friends, and that you don't remember.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Hey, are you still hanging out with Bernadette tonight?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Yes, and we're going to prove that we don't need alcohol to enjoy ourselves.
  • Penny Hofstadter: Oh, good for you.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Or caffeine, tobacco, sushi, soft cheese, processed meat and jacuzzis, which can all be harmful to an unborn baby.
  • Penny Hofstadter: No Reddy-baked ham in a hot tub; got it.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, and no bubble baths either; they can increase the chance of a urinary trach infection.
  • Sheldon Cooper: OK, have fun.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: On, and no swordfish, king mackerel, shark or tilefish as they're all high in mercury.
  • Sheldon Cooper: We're leaving now.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Oh, and no contact with guinea pigs or hamsters or their droppings. No-no cat-litter boxes. No paint fumes.
  • Penny Hofstadter: OK, we're leaving, lovey, bye!
  • [Leonard and Penny leave the apartment]
  • Sheldon Cooper: Boy, do I love restrictions.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Well, little lady, you've heard of party hardy? Get ready to party hardly.
  • Sheldon Cooper: When I was five I ingested a Z-gauge locomotive. I spent the next three days saying "I think I can pass it; I think I can pass it!"
  • [last lines]
  • Sheldon Cooper: Leonard, friends are like toilet paper. It's good to have extras under the sink.
