Quotes 

• Penny : Have a good flight.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yean, I wish.

  Sheldon Cooper : We're not flying; we're taking the train.

  Penny : Oh, cool.

  Howard Wolowitz : Yeah, cool. Seven times as long as flying and costs almost twice as much.

  Penny : Well then, why are you doing it?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Well, we had a vote. Three of us voted for airplane; Sheldon voted for train; so, we're taking the train.

• Penny : Okay, I found the box. Now what?

  Sheldon Cooper : You're holding a Japanese puzzle box, which takes ten precise moves to open. Okay, first locate the panel with the diamond pattern and slide the center portion one millimeter to the left. Then, on the opposite end of the box, slide the entire panel down two millimeters. You'll hear a slight click.

  Penny : Hang on. Sheldon, do you have any emotional attachment to this box?

  Sheldon Cooper : No, it's a novelty I ordered off the Internet. Did you hear the click?

  Penny : Not yet.

  [she sets the box on the floor and stomps on it] 

  Penny : There it is.

• Penny : I love San Francisco; I wish I was going with you.

  Sheldon Cooper : I understand your envy; this is a can't-miss symposium. There are going to be discussions on bio-organic cellular computer devices, advancements in multi-threaded task completion, plus a round-table on the non-equilibrium green function approach to the photo-ionization process in atoms.

  Penny : When I go, I usually just get hammered and ride the cable-cars.

• Leonard Hofstadter : This conference is kind of a big thing. The keynote address is being delivered by George Smoot.

  Penny : Oh, my God! *The* George Smoot?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Ah, you've heard of him?

  Penny : Of course I haven't.

  Sheldon Cooper : George Smoot is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, one of the great minds of our time. His work in black body form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation cemented our understanding of the origin of the universe.

  Penny : It's kind of a funny name, though. "Smoot".

  Sheldon Cooper : [to the others]  It's like talking to chimp.

• Penny : Okay, I got a box, but there's no key in here, just letters.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's the wrong box. Put it back.

  Penny : Oh, Sheldon, are these letters from your grandmother?

  Sheldon Cooper : Don't read those letters!

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh look, she calls you Moonpie. That is so cute.

• Sheldon Cooper : It's Sheldon.

  Penny : Oh, hey, Sheldon! How is San Francisco?

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm not in San Francisco. I'm on a train. Were you even listening to me?

  Penny : Uh, no, I was talking to my friend, but what's up?

  Sheldon Cooper : What's up? I'll tell you what's up. I'm in a crisis situation, and I need you to marshal your powers of concentration, limited as they may be...

  Leonard Hofstadter : Give me the phone. Hi, Penny. It's Leonard.

  Penny : Hey, Leonard. What's going on with Dr. Wackadoodle?

  Leonard Hofstadter : He's calling to ask you a favor. You might be confused because he didn't use the words, Penny, Sheldon, please or favor.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Hi, Penny, it's Leonard.

  Penny : Hey, Leonard. What's going on with Doctor Wackadoodle?

  Leonard Hofstadter : He's calling to ask you a favor. You might be confused because he didn't use the words "Penny", "Sheldon", "please", or "favor".

• Sheldon Cooper : I'm back.

  Penny : What up, Moonpie?

  Sheldon Cooper : No one calls me Moonpie but Meemaw.
