Quotes 

  • Leonard : A Homo habilis man discovering his opposable thumb says what?

    Kurt : [confused]  What?

  • Sheldon : I'm confused. If there's no costume parade, what are we doing here?

    Leonard : We're socializing. Meeting new people...

    Sheldon : Telepathically?

  • Penny : Well, I ran into him last week and, he was just, all apologetic, about how he's changed, and he was just going on and on and, and I believed him, and I'm an idiot because I always believe guys like that and... I can't go back to my party because he's there, and I know you don't want to hear this but I'm upset and I'm really drunk and I just want to talk...

    [Bursts into tears and rests head on Leonard's shoulder] 

    Leonard : There, there.

    Penny : God, what is wrong with me?

    Leonard : Nothing; you're perfect.

    Penny : I'm not perfect.

    Leonard : Yes, you are.

    Penny : You really think so, don't you?

    [She kisses him] 

    Leonard : Penny?

    Penny : Yeah?

    Leonard : How much have you had to drink tonight?

    Penny : Just... a lot.

    Leonard : Are you sure that your being drunk, and your being angry with Kurt doesn't have something to do with what's going on here?

    Penny : It might. Boy, you're really smart.

    Leonard : Yeah, I'm a frickin' genius.

    Penny : Leonard, you are so great. Why can't all guys be like you?

    Leonard : Because if all guys were like me, the human race couldn't survive.

  • Leonard : Why don't you just tell people you're a zebra?

    Sheldon : Why don't you just tell people you're one of the seven dwarves?

    Leonard : Because I'm Frodo!

    Sheldon : Yes... Well... I'm the Doppler effect!

  • Sheldon : Like Jane Goodall observing the apes, I initially saw their interactions as confusing and unstructured, but patterns emerge, they have their own... language if you will.

    Leonard : Go on.

    Sheldon : Well, it seems that the newcomer approaches the existing group With the greeting: "How wasted am I?" which is met with an approving chorus of: "Dude!"

    Leonard : Then what happens?

    Sheldon : That's as far as I've gotten.

  • Leonard : [after getting kissed by Penny in his Hobbit costume]  That's right, you saw what you saw. That's how we roll in the Shire!

  • Leonard : Are misfiring neurons in your hippocampus preventing the conversion from short term to long-term memory?

  • Raj Koothrappali : [dressed as Thor, Norse God of Thunder]  Hey. Sorry I'm late but my hammer got stuck in the door on the bus.

    Leonard : You went with Thor?

    Raj Koothrappali : What? Just because I'm Indian I can't be a Norse God? No, no, no Raj has to be an Indian God. That's racism. I mean, look at Wolowitz. He's not English but he's dressed like Peter Pan. Sheldon is neither sound nor light but he's obviously the Doppler effect.

    Howard Wolowitz : I'm not Peter Pan. I'm Robin Hood.

    Raj Koothrappali : Really? Because I saw Peter Pan and you're dressed exactly like Cathy Rigby. She was a little bigger than you but it's basically the same look, man.

  • [first lines] 

    Raj Koothrappali : OK, if no-one else will say it, I will. We really suck at paint-ball.

    Howard Wolowitz : That was absolutely humiliating.

    Leonard : Oh, come on, some battles you win, some battles you lose.

    Howard Wolowitz : Yes, but you don't have to lose to Kyle Bernstein's Bar-Mitzvah party.

    Leonard : I think we have to acknowledge those were some fairly savage preadolescent Jews.

    Sheldon : No, we were annihilated by our own incompetent and the inability of some people to follow the chain of command.

    Leonard : Sheldon, let it go!

    Sheldon : No, I want to talk about the fact that Wolowitz shot me in the back.

    Howard Wolowitz : I shot you for good reason. You were leading us into disaster.

    Sheldon : I was giving clear, concise orders.

    Leonard : You hid behind a tree yelling: "Get the kid in the yarmulke; get the kid in the yarmulke!"

  • Leonard Hofstadter : I'm going to assert my dominance face-to-face.

    Sheldon Cooper : Face-to-face? Are you gonna wait for him to sit down, or are you gonna stand on the coffee table?

  • Sheldon Cooper : Maybe she wants to be friends and he wants something more.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Then he and I are on equal ground.

    Sheldon Cooper : Yes, but you're much closer to it than he is.

  • Sheldon Cooper : Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass you?

    Leonard Hofstadter : Yes, but I need a wingman.

    Sheldon Cooper : Alright, but if we're going to use flight metaphors, I'm much more suited to being the guy from the FAA analyzing wreckage.

  • Leonard Hofstadter : Of course we're all animals, but some of us have climbed a little higher on the evolutionary tree.

    Sheldon Cooper : If he understands that, you're in trouble.

    Kurt : So, what? I'm unevolved?

    Sheldon Cooper : You're in trouble.
