Quotes 

• Wyatt : [Penny's dad, urging Leonard to get back together with her]  Please, please, please don't give up on her!

  Leonard Hofstadter : What?

  Wyatt : I can't go back to the skateboard idiots, the white rappers, and all those sweaty dumb-asses with their backwards hats.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Gee, I don't know if it's in the cards, sir.

  Wyatt : Then stack the deck! Cheat! Lie! I don't care! I want grandkids before I die, and I want 'em to grow up in a house without wheels.

• Leonard Hofstadter : You'll never guess what just happened.

  Sheldon Cooper : You went out in the hallway, stumbled into an interdimensional portal, which brought you 5,000 years into the future, where you took advantage of the advanced technology to build a time machine, and now you're back, to bring us all with you to the year 7010, where we are transported to work in the Thinkatorium, by telepathically-controlled flying dolphins?

  Leonard Hofstadter : No.

  Sheldon Cooper : Awww...

  Leonard Hofstadter : Penny kissed me.

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, who would ever guess that?

• Leonard Hofstadter : Why do I bother talking to you people?

  Sheldon Cooper : If it'll make you feel better, we rarely listen.

• Sheldon Cooper : Just so you know, I was up all night, but I have finally completed the Penny-specific section of the new roommate agreement.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, well, not necessary. We broke up again,

  Sheldon Cooper : [Sheldon throws the agreement up in the air]  Do you even think about other people, Leonard? Do you?

• [first lines] 

  Raj Koothrappali : You know who's got to be the bravest person in the Marvel universe? Whoever has to give She-Hulk her bikini wax.

  Howard Wolowitz : Want to talk brave? How about Captain America's undocumented Mexican gardener?

  Leonard Hofstadter : He's not braver than whoever uses the bathroom after the Thing.

  Sheldon Cooper : As usual you're all wrong; the bravest person in the Marvel universe is the doctor who gives Wolverine his prostate exam.

  Howard Wolowitz : How about the guy who gets a prostate exam from Wolverine?

  Sheldon Cooper : Now you're just being silly. Wolverine never displayed the slightest interest in helping others prevent prostate cancer.

• Penny : I kinda told my father we got back together again.

  Leonard Hofstadter : What? Why?

  Penny : Well, you're the first guy he's ever really approved of, you know, you're a scientist who went to college, and you don't have a neck tattoo or outstanding warrants or - or a baby.

  Leonard Hofstadter : What kind of guys did you used to go out with?

  Penny : Just guys. Anyway, when I told him we split up, he was heart-broken, and he kept bugging me: "How's Leonard?", "Why can't you get back together with Leonard?", "I bet Leonard never tipped a cow over on himself."

• [last lines] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : D'you get to play with Raj's big telescope last night?

  Howard Wolowitz : Wh... Where did that come from?

  Raj Koothrappali : He never touched my telescope!

  Howard Wolowitz : Way to go shutting up.

  Raj Koothrappali : I did shut up. Now you shut up.

  Howard Wolowitz : Fine.

  Raj Koothrappali : Thank you.

  [pause] 

  Raj Koothrappali : How come you didn't call me this morning?

• Sheldon Cooper : [answering the phone]  Hello.

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes, the elevator's out of order; you'll have to use the stairs.

  Sheldon Cooper : Of course you can. Pizza dates back to the sixteenth century while the first elevator was not installed until 1852; that means that for over three hundred years people carried pizzas up stairs. Be part of that proud tradition.

  Leonard Hofstadter : I'll go get Penny while that guy spits on our food.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Penny kissing me is not insane. She used to kiss me all the time.

  Sheldon Cooper : Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. By that standard, Penny is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

• Leonard : [to Penny's father]  I'll 'Friend' you on Facebook!

• Penny : Do you know what I've been doing for the last hour?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Mm, dreamily doodling Mrs. Leonard Hofstadter in a notebook?

  Penny : Listening to my father go on and on about what a great guy you are.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You gotta admit, I am, I'm delightful.

  Penny : Why are you making this so difficult?

  Leonard Hofstadter : [smirking]  It's not difficult for me. I'm having fun.

  Penny : Leonard!

  Leonard Hofstadter : What do you want me to do? You started this. You wanna go over and tell him we're broken up?

  Penny : No.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Well, then, what do you want?

  Penny : I don't know.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Don't you think that's something you should have figured out before you stomped over here?

  Penny : [pauses]  Maybe.

• Penny : Sheldon, you don't have to do this, because Leonard and I are not...

  Leonard Hofstadter : Bu-bu-bu-bu, are you sure you want to include him in this?

  Sheldon Cooper : Include me in what? Is there a plot afoot? I'll have no truck with plots.

  Penny : [to Leonard]  No, you're right.

  [to Sheldon] 

  Penny : No, there's, there's no plot, no trucks, no... feet.

• Sheldon Cooper : Leonard is the signatory to the roommate agreement. As such, he bears responsibility for all your infractions and must pay all fines.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Fines?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. Penny's going to be spending nights here again, you'll need to set up an escrow account. Sign here.
