Quotes
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Why are you learning Mandarin?
Sheldon : I suspect that the people at the Szechuan Palace are passing off orange chicken as tangerine chicken, and I intend to confront them.
Leonard Hofstadter : If I were you, I'd be more worried about what they're passing off as chicken.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Okay, well, you know, this isn't that bad. It just paints the picture of a very affectionate woman who's open to expressing her affection in non-traditional locales.
Penny : Oh God!
Leonard Hofstadter : Elevators, parks, movie theatres, out of curiosity, is this subway the transportation system or subway the sandwich shop?
Penny : Sandwich shop.
-
Penny : I swear to God, I am done with guys like that. You know, macho, with the perfect body and the hair, and the money.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, that must get old quick.
Penny : You know, just once, I would like to go out with someone who is nice, and honest, and who actually cares about me.
Leonard Hofstadter : What about me?
Penny : What about you what?
Leonard Hofstadter : What about if you went out with me?
Penny : Are you asking me out?
Leonard Hofstadter : Um... yes... I am... asking you out.
Penny : Wow.
Leonard Hofstadter : I was just going off your comment about the nice guy...
Penny : No, I know, I got that. Yeah, totally.
Leonard Hofstadter : ...thing and honest but, it's no big deal...
Penny : Yes.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yes what?
Penny : Yes, I will go out with you.
Leonard Hofstadter : Really?
Penny : Yeah. Why not, I mean, what do I have to lose?
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah. That's the spirit
-
Sheldon : What do I have to say to bring this discussion to a speedy conclusion?
Leonard Hofstadter : Tell me whether or not I should go out with Penny.
Sheldon : Schrodinger's cat.
Leonard Hofstadter : Wow, that is brilliant!
Sheldon : You sound so surprised.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Before we go, have you heard of Schrodinger's cat?
Penny : Oh, I have heard more than enough about Schrodinger's cat.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Maybe I am her best gayfriend...
-
Leonard Hofstadter : I don't think I can go out with her tonight.
Sheldon : Then, don't.
Leonard Hofstadter : Other people would say "Why not?"
Sheldon : Other people might be interested.
Leonard Hofstadter : I'm gonna talk anyway.
Sheldon : I assumed you would.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : She doesn't want to talk.
Sheldon : Penny's emotional response is originated in the primitive portion of the brain, known as the amygdala. While speech is centered in the much more recently developed neo-cortex. The former can easily overpower the latter, giving scientific credence to the notion of being "rendered speechless."
Sheldon : Or maybe she just doesn't want to talk.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : She's upset, I'm going over there.
Howard Wolowitz : Remember to sit on your hands a bit, so they're warm.
Leonard Hofstadter : I'm her friend. I'm not going to take advantage of her vulnerability.
Howard Wolowitz : So you're saying, if in the depths of despair, she throws herself at you and demands you take her, right there, right now, you'll just walk away?
Leonard Hofstadter : I said I'm her friend, not her gay friend.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Now that I'm actually about to go out with Penny. I'm not excited. I'm nauseous.
Sheldon Cooper : Ah, then your meal choice is appropriate. Starch absorbs fluid, which reduces the amount of vomit available for violent expulsion.
-
Penny : [about the guy she just broke up with] He's moved on!
Leonard Hofstadter : Wow! That was quick!
Penny : [crying] That's what I said to the girl with her legs wrapped around his neck.
