Quotes
-
Leslie Winkle : Howard, I got the approval for the rapid prototyper you wanted.
Howard Wolowitz : That's great, Leslie, thanks.
Leslie Winkle : You scratch my back, I scratch your back. Meow!
Rajesh Koothrappali : What was all that about?
Howard Wolowitz : Oh, uh, no big deal, they gave Leslie control over some unrestricted grant money.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, okay, but what's with the "back scratching" and the "meow."
Sheldon Cooper : I believe the "back scratching" metaphor generally describes a quid pro quo situation where one party provides goods or services to second party in compensation for a similar action.
Leonard Hofstadter : [sarcastically] Thank you.
Sheldon Cooper : The "meow." That sounded to me like an African civet cat.
Leonard Hofstadter : Are you done?
Sheldon Cooper : No. Despite what the name suggests, the civet cat, is not a true cat.
[pause]
Sheldon Cooper : Now I'm done.
Rajesh Koothrappali : You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking, Howard wasn't making a back scratching metaphor. I'm thinking there was some actual scratching involved.
Leonard Hofstadter : What about it, Howard?
Howard Wolowitz : Okay, I didn't want to say anything, cause I know you and Leslie have a little... history.
Leonard Hofstadter : I don't care about that.
Howard Wolowitz : Great, 'cause I've been dying to say something.
Leonard Hofstadter : You and Leslie?
Howard Wolowitz : In the paintball shed! Twice!
Sheldon Cooper : Is that why you didn't cover our escape, and let us get cut down like animals?
Howard Wolowitz : Oh yeah, sorry about that.
Sheldon Cooper : My good man, dereliction of duty in the face of the enemy is a court martial offense.
Howard Wolowitz : Court martial, schmort martial. Leslie Winkle is the fifth girl I've ever had sex with!
[pause]
Howard Wolowitz : I mean for free.

[first lines]
Howard Wolowitz : That was close.
Rajesh Koothrappali : God, I love the smell of paintballs in the morning.
Howard Wolowitz : Yeah, still funny, Raj.

Rajesh Koothrappali : [the guys just found out that Howard has been hooking up with Leslie] Plus you got a rapid prototyper. That's an expensive piece of equipment, dude!
Leonard Hofstadter : The rest of us have had our budgets cut to the bone.
Howard Wolowitz : OK, one way to look at this is that I'm getting new equipment and you're not, and that's unfair. But a better way to look at this is that I'm getting sex and you're not, and that's delightful!
