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.

• Howard Wolowitz : Do you believe him? Normally around women he has the personality of a boiled potato. Put one beer in him, and he's M. Night Charmalarmalan.

• Howard Wolowitz : It's hot in here. Must be Summer.

• Sheldon Cooper : I'm confused. I thought you were involved in some sort of socially intimate pairing with Leslie Winkle.

  Howard Wolowitz : Sheldon, let me explain to you how this works.

  Sheldon Cooper : All right.

  Howard Wolowitz : That's Summer Glau.

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes.

  Howard Wolowitz : That's it.

• Howard Wolowitz : Hi. I'm the small package good things come in.

• Sheldon Cooper : Of course, if SkyNet actually did exist in the future, a perfect way to infiltrate and destroy mankind would be to send Terminators back posing as actors who have played Terminators in popular films and television series, lulling us into a false sense of security, i.e., that's Summer Glau from The Sarah Connor Chronicles. No, Summer, don't kill me! I'm pro-robot! Ahh!

  Leonard Hofstadter : At least he's off the train crap.

  Sheldon Cooper : Whee!

  Howard Wolowitz : Sheldon, I owe you an apology. Taking the train was a stroke of brilliance! I've actually got a shot at a Terminator.

  Rajesh Koothrappali : Oh, please.When it comes to Terminators, you've got a better shot of scoring with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

  Howard Wolowitz : You're overlooking something. I have 11 hours with her in a confined space. Unless she's willing to jump off a moving train, tuck and roll down the side of a hill, she will eventually succumb to the acquired taste that is Howard Wolowitz.

  Leonard Hofstadter : My money's on tuck and roll.

• [first lines] 

  Howard Wolowitz : Okay, Raj, hand me the number six Torx screwdriver.

  Sheldon Cooper : Stop! We can't do this; it's not right.

  Rajesh Koothrappali : Sheldon, you have two choices; either you let him put a bigger hard drive in the TiVo, or you delete stuff before we go out of town.

  Sheldon Cooper : But once you open the box, you've voided the warranty. The warranty is a sacred covenant we've entered into with the manufacturer; he offers to stand by his equipment, and we in return agree not to violate the integrity of the internal hardware. This little orange sticker is all that stands between us and anarchy.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Okay, then we won't touch the hard drive; we'll just erase the first season of 'Battlestar'.

  Sheldon Cooper : [Tears off orange seal]  There, we're outlaws.

• Howard Wolowitz : Sheldon, I owe you an apology. Taking the train was a stroke of brilliance; I've actually got a shot at a Terminator.

  Rajesh Koothrappali : Oh, please. When it comes to Terminators, you've got a better shot of scoring with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
