Quotes 

• Zack : You know, I saw this great thing on the Discovery Channel. Turns out that if you kill a starfish, it'll just come back to life.

  Sheldon Cooper : Was the starfish wearing boxer shorts? Because you might have been watching Nickelodeon.

  Zack : No, I'm almost sure that it was the Discovery Channel. It was a great show. They also said dolphins might be smarter than people.

  Leonard Hofstadter : They might be smarter than some people.

  Zack : Maybe we can do an experiment to find out.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's easy enough. We need a large tank of water, a hoop to jump through, and a bucket of whatever bite-sized treats you find tasty.

  [the guys laugh at him] 

  Zack : I don't get it.

  Leonard Hofstadter : A dolphin might.

  Zack : Oh, I see. You guys are inferring that I'm stupid.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's not correct. We were implying it. You then inferred it.

• Zack : Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane.

  [Zack jumps into Sheldon and Leonard's apartment in his Superman costume] 

  Zack : I forget the rest.

  Penny : [Enters wearing a Wonder Woman costume with a low-cut top]  All right. Let's get this thing over with.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm sorry. But in what universe is Wonder Woman blonde?

  Howard Wolowitz : Relax. No one's gonna be looking at her hair.

  [Penny punches Wolowitz in his shoulder] 

  Howard Wolowitz : Ow! I mean...

  Howard Wolowitz : [in gravelly voice]  Ow.

• Howard Wolowitz : Okay, the good news is, we have a Wonder Woman.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh.

  Raj Koothrappali : Yes.

  Sheldon Cooper : What's the bad news?

  Howard Wolowitz : Superman probably isn't getting laid tonight.

  Zack : [Looks down at his Superman costume]  Aw, damn.

• Leonard Hofstadter : If it makes you feel any better, when I was dating Penny, she used to flip out on me all the time.

  Zack : Whoa! You dated Penny?

  Leonard Hofstadter : She didn't tell you?

  Zack : She told me she dated a guy named Leonard; who would have thought it was you?

• Penny : I'm still mad at you.

  Zack : Well, you won't be when you hear the great news.

  Penny : What great news?

  Zack : We're going to a costume party at the comic book store on New Years Eve, and you get to be Wonder Woman.

  Sheldon Cooper : Complete with bulletproof bracelets and lasso of truth. Invisible plane sold separately.

• Zack : Hold on. The costume came with a black wig.

  [to Penny, sotto voce] 

  Zack : Where is it, babe?

  Penny : No. I'm not wearing it. It looks stupid.

  Zack : Come on. We're trying to win a contest here.

  Penny : Forget it. I'm not wearing the wig.

  Zack : Penny, there is no "I" in "Justice League."

• Zack : I haven't been to a comic book store in literally a million years.

  Sheldon Cooper : Literally? Literally a million years?

• Zack : [entering the comic book store]  Where do they keep the Archies?

  Sheldon Cooper : In the bedrooms of ten-year-old girls, where they belong.

  Zack : Oh, no, you're thinking old-school Archie. It's much more sophisticated now. Like, there's two universes, and Archie's married to Betty in one and Veronica in the other. Midge is even breaking up with Moose.

• Stuart : You guys finally chip in for a bodyguard?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Uh, no. Oh, this is Zack; he's... a friend of ours. Zack, this is Stuart; he owns the store.

  Zack : Wow! Lucky you.

  Stuart : Yeah! I work seventy hours a week and average a dollar sixty-five an hour.

  Zack : Sweet!

  Stuart : Is that sarcasm?

  Howard Wolowitz : Uh, no, it's an indictment of the American education system,
