Quotes12

  • Leonard Hofstadter: You're awful quiet. Everything OK?
  • Sheldon Cooper: I'm concerned about Amy. She's acting a bit odd lately.
  • Howard Wolowitz: Just out of curiosity, what registers as odd to you?
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Hi.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Hello.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: What are you doing?
  • Sheldon Cooper: I'm just contemplating Buridan's donkey.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: I understand. I'll leave you be.
  • Sheldon Cooper: What, you're familiar with the reference?
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Of course. Jean Buridan proposed a philosophical thesis stating that a hungry donkey placed between two equidistant bales of hay would be paralyzed by indecision and would starve to death.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Exactly.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Well, I wouldn't want you to starve to death, so here's an eggplant.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Thank you.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: You know, some people believe that Buridan was plagiarizing Aristotle.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Really?
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Although, in Aristotle's example, he proposed an equally hungry and thirsty man caught between food and drink.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Huh. Yeah, I wonder if that's related to the 12th century Persian philosopher, Al-Ghazali and his story of a man caught between two dates.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Are you suggesting Al-Ghazali was Aristotelian? 'Cause if anything, he was anti-Aristotelian.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Al-Ghazali was anti-Aristotelian? Boy, you think you know a guy.
  • Sheldon Cooper: If complaining were an Olympic sport, I would complain about what a stupid sport it is and bring home the gold.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Why are you speaking Klingon?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Why are you speaking English?
  • Sheldon Cooper: This is our friend Penny's place. You may remember her from our episode "Flags: And the People Who Don't Understand Them".
  • Leonard Hofstadter: She took my Where's Waldo!
  • Sheldon Cooper: Well, no, no, he's over there.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Oh yeah, there he is.
  • Sheldon Cooper: I get it, everyone wants to spend more time with me. I'm a man made of sugar in a world of ants.
  • Howard Wolowitz: [about Sheldon's dream] Okay, the last question: The chaps he was wearing, assless?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Can we just focus on the decision I'm facing?
  • Raj Koothrappali: We can. but just for the record, all chaps are assless.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Gentlemen, please! This is a significant decision. Do Amy and I continue living together, or do I move back in with Leonard?
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Over my assless chaps you will.
  • Howard Wolowitz: This isn't complicated. Do you love Amy?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Yes.
  • Raj Koothrappali: Do you like living with her?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Yes.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Do you know what you need to do now?
  • Sheldon Cooper: Apparently figure it out on my own, 'cause you guys are no help at all.
  • [first lines]
  • Sheldon Cooper: Hello, I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: And I'm Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler.
  • Sheldon Cooper: And welcome to the first on location episode of "Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler present
  • Amy Farrah Fowler: Dr. Sheldon Cooper's Fun with Flags".
  • Sheldon Cooper: I suppose we could find a whole new place. And technically we don't even have to stay in Pasadena. We could move to Altadena. Or a place that doesn't even end in 'dena'.
  • Sheldon Cooper: Your Klingon word of the day calender's gone.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: I'd say dammit in Klingon, but that wasn't until next month.
  • Sheldon Cooper: It's Qu'vatlh.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Qu'vatlh!
  • Howard Wolowitz: [to Penny, about Sheldon] You know, if he moves across the hall for good, Leonard could keep the stuff you don't like in Sheldon's old room. Solves everything.
  • Penny Hofstadter: That's a great idea!
  • Leonard Hofstadter: Ooh! Maybe I could turn it into a gaming den.
  • Raj Koothrappali: That would be amazing.
  • Sheldon Cooper: [stutters] Wha-Wha... Excuse me, that's my room.
  • Leonard Hofstadter: But you won't be living here.
