Penny: So what package were you thinking?
Leonard: Well this one comes with music and flowers. Oh, and they even stream the whole thing live on the internet.
Penny: Why would we want that?
Leonard: Cause there's a lot of gorgeous blondes out there who don't believe they can land a short, near-sighted scientist? Let's give them hope.
Penny: Whatever. Put us on the internet. I've always wanted a wedding with a comments section.

Mary: Don't send it back yet. Your sister's married and I'm not letting your brother give my grandmother's ring to that whore he's dating.
Sheldon: Wasn't Mary Magdalene a woman of ill repute?
Mary: When your idiot brother redeems mankind he can date whoever he wants.
Sheldon: The show must go on, and thankfully all the things my girlfriend used to do can be taken care of with my right hand.

Howard: Why are marine biologists always so cute?
Raj: I don't know, but I'd like to get lost in her Bermuda Triangle.
Leonard: That's not helpful.
Howard: Then I won't say I'd like to cover three quarters of her surface area.
Leonard: Are you done?
Raj: Not yet, this is fun! Ooh, I know... I'd let her free my Willy.
[Leonard gets up]
Raj: Where are you going?
Leonard: Going to ask her if she'd be willing to talk to Penny. Tell her she has nothing to worry about.
Howard: Leonard wait.
Leonard: What?
Howard: I'd like to spongebob her squarepants.
Raj: Now we are done.
Howard: I bet he picked up a lot of cute grad students in this bad boy.
Sheldon: And talked about physics with them!

[The boys are performing percussive shock to the tune of “We Will Rock You.]
Howard: [Singing in the tune of “We Will Rock You”] We will, we will percussive shock you! [Leonard and Raj join in for the second chorus.] We will, we will percussive shock you!
[Sheldon begins singing the verse to “We Will Rock You” in falsetto while Leonard, Howard, and Raj watch in bewilderment.]
Sheldon: I have an eidetic memory; sometimes it can be a curse.
Sheldon: Blue Icees and a trip to the container store? It's like I died and went to the postmortem neuron induced hallucination commonly mistaken as heaven.
Leonard: I still don't understand why you bought that pill caddy, you're a young man.
Sheldon: Age is a state of mind, Leonard. In here, I'm 90.

Sheldon: I was like the Tin Man, perfectly content until that evil wizard gave him a heart.
Amy: I don't think that was the point of the movie.
Sheldon: Fine! I was like Pinocchio who that jerk Geppetto went and made him a real boy.
Amy: There you go.
Barry: Gentlemen, welcome to the fencing club. Before we start, I just want to warn you, fencing isn't a joke. I hope you're not here because you think it's going to be like Star Wars.
Leonard: That's not why we're here.
Raj: Yeah, I'm here because I think it's gonna be like Game of Thrones.
Howard: And maybe a little Princess Bride.
Raj: Ooh, ooh! I forgot about Princess Bride! That's my answer!

Sheldon: Excuse me, Barry?
Barry: Yes?
Sheldon: When can I stab one of my friends?
Barry: In fencing, we don't call it a stab. We call it a touch.
Sheldon: Uh, yes, I'm aware. But if I say I want to touch one of my friends, I'll get called into Human Resources.
Barry: Be honest, if the shoe was on the other foot, would you do this for me?
Leonard: Yes.
Sheldon: No chance.
Leonard: What are you doing?
Sheldon: He said be honest, so I was honest. Didn't your mother tell you? It's the best policy.

Howard: What was wrong with that guy?
Raj: Um, he's Indian. We've already got one of those.
Wil Wheaton: Hey Sheldon. This is Adam Nimoy.
Adam Nimoy: Nice to meet you.
Sheldon: Oh, it's nice to meet you. I admire your father's work very much. It's not every day I get to meet someone whose life journey began in my hero's scrotum.
Wil Wheaton: [quietly aside to Adam Nimoy] I told you this guy is gold.

[Sheldon is showing the valuables he keeps in his lock box]
Sheldon: [bringing out each item] My passport. My Wil.
Leonard: You have a will?
Sheldon: Yeah, my one-eighteenth scale Wil Wheaton action figure. Yeah, I also have the other kind of will, and in it, I will my Wil back to Wil.
Leonard: Will Wil want it?
Wil Wheaton: Wil won't.
Amy: Some people think the sexiest organ is the brain.
Penny: No one ever bought me drinks at a bar because my brain just popped out of my shirt.

Amy: If you don't mind me asking, why did you and your wife split up?
Dave: Oh, you know how it is. We wanted different things. I wanted children, and she wanted a pastry chef named Jean-Philippe.
Amy: Oh, I'm, I'm so sorry.
Dave: Ah, that's fine. That's why I left England. It reminded me too much of her - cold, gloomy and easily accessed by a Frenchman through a tunnel.
Sheldon: If there were a list of things that make me more comfortable, a list would be at the top of that list.

Sheldon: I excel at many things, but getting over you isn't one of them. It's best we stay friends.
[Sheldon and Leonard are working on calculations. Sheldon hums the beginning of Darlin']
Leonard: Since when do you hum songs?
Sheldon: What are you talking about?
Leonard: You were just humming.
Sheldon: Are you sure? Sometimes when my brain really gets moving it makes noise.
Leonard: How does your brain feel about calculating the surface tension of the domain walls?
Sheldon: Let's see... [starts humming again] Hey! I was humming. One point for Hufflepuff.

Bernadette: He spent an entire date talking about how much he loves Sheldon.
Amy: It's nothing Sheldon hasn't done before.
[Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are trying to buy tickets for the opening night of Star Wars]
Sheldon: The website's frozen. I can't get in.
Leonard: Same here.
Raj: Guys, they're going to sell out!
Howard: What are we gonna do?
Sheldon: Alright. This goes against everything I stand for, but desperate times call for desperate measures. [Kneels on the floor in a prayer stance] Lord, this is Sheldon Cooper. You're good friends with my mom. I know I've spent my life denying that you exist...
Howard: Got them!
Sheldon: ...and I will continue to do so!

Amy: I'm just... really nervous.
Sheldon: Why?
Amy: I've been waiting for this for so long. I've just built it up in my head. I don't know what to expect.
Sheldon: Neither do I. But... we can find out together.
Sheldon: Good news gentlemen! Amy's at a conference this weekend, which means I'm available to be entertained. As today's youth might put it, who wants to get their Sheld-on?
Howard: Bernie and I are getting the house ready for the remodel. We could always use an extra pair of hands.
Sheldon: Yeah, that sounds awful. Raj?
Raj: I've got time booked in the telescope room all weekend, scanning for rogue planets. You're more than welcome to join me.
Sheldon: That's the one to beat! Leonard?
Leonard: Oh, if anything, I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.
Sheldon: Well then, it looks like we have a winner. Congratulations.
Raj: Well, I should warn you, it's just looking at data for hours and hours on a computer screen.
Sheldon: Stop selling it kid, you won.

Howard: Too busy to call? He wasn't too busy to binge-watch Hot in Cleveland with my Hulu password!
Penny: Hey, so I saw a movie trailer the other day, How could Batman possibly fight Superman? Isn't that dumb!
Bernadette: Maybe he uses kryptonite.
Emily: Well, Batman's got a lot of money; maybe he builds a suit that can do everything Superman can do.
Penny: No, no, no, no, no, I've seen that movie. It's called Iron Man.
[the guys are stupefied]
Leonard: What is happening?
Howard: I don't know.
Raj: But it's beautiful.
Penny: How's Ben Affleck as Batman?
Emily: Oh, he was great in Shakespeare in Love.
Penny: Ooh, we should watch that next girls' night.
Bernadette: We could do a double feature with the Leonardo DiCaprio Romeo and Juliet.
Penny: Oh, I love me some Leo.
Leonard: And it's gone.

Amy: Hi Sheldon, what's new?
Sheldon: My friends are jerks and I'm mad at all of them.
Amy: I said "what's new," but sure...
Penny: You know, the last time I got a handwritten letter was from someone who told me I parked like a blind person.
Leonard: That someone has a name.
Sheldon: Thank you.

Meemaw: No wine for me. Sheldon's bringing me my whiskey.
Sheldon: There you go, Meemaw. I made it just how you like it. A lot, in a glass.
Raj: You say it like it's easy! Has any one of you ever broken up with anyone?
Howard: No.
Leonard: Not really.
Sheldon: You know, once I ordered an Uber by accident, and I just got in and went somewhere.

Howard: Should we name him?
Bernadette: It is Valentine's Day. How about Valentino?
Howard: Nice. A classic rabbit name. Peter Rabbit, Roger Rabbit. Valentino Wolowitz Rabbit. Oh, look at all that chest hair and overbite. Of course you're a Wolowitz.
Leonard: What's going on?
Howard: I'm going to be a father.
Leonard: Congratulations!
Sheldon: Oh no!
Leonard: Why "Oh no"?
Sheldon: Because this changes everything! You know, what about comic book night? What about playing games together? What about our trips to Disneyland? How can we do those things with a child around?
Leonard: Relax, there's room for two babies in this group.
Sheldon: O dear luck, Penny's pregnant too?
Leonard: You're the other baby!
Sheldon: Oh really? Well, would a baby have to shave once every eleven days?
Leonard: Would an adult refuse to eat his Graham crackers because one of them was broken?
Sheldon: I guess we'll call this a draw.

Howard: Okay, how about this for an invention? Slightly bigger cocktail umbrellas?
Leonard: How is that a new invention?
Howard: I don't know. All Apple does is change the size of things and we keep buying them.
Howard: Really? You're ahead of Bale? The man who personified the words, "I'm Batman"?
Adam West: I never had to say I'm Batman. I showed up. People knew I was Batman. Everywhere I went. On the TV show, mall openings, Julie Newmar's bungalow.
Leonard: I'm sold- you're ahead of Bale.
Adam West: There's another reason I should be higher on the list. All those other guys had muscles built into their costumes. All I had in my Batsuit was 100%, grade-A West.

Penny: All right, what about music?
Sheldon: I enjoy marching bands and Tibetan throat music.
Penny: No music it is.
[Howard, Leonard and Sheldon are waiting at the patenting office]
Howard: Okay, I've got to ask, why are you wearing a bow-tie?
Sheldon: I've never applied for a patent before. I wanted to make a good impression.
Howard: Is the impression that your first name is Peewee?
[Leonard laughs]
Sheldon: Yeah, well you're an engineer. End of joke. Burn!

Penny: Hang on, what if Sheldon had no choice but to be respectful?
Leonard: Is there a switch on the back of his neck we don't know about?
Leonard: Soup, sandwiches, and emasculation. Just like my mom used to make.

Penny: Oh, they went to the store to get solder. Which is metal you melt to make science things.
Penny: That's not what the forest smells like.
Sheldon: Well how would I know?

Sheldon: We'll never win. You always play the drinking game.
Sheldon: A party sub implies it's a party.
Leonard: Your attendance implies that it's not.
Sheldon: I like a party as much as the next man. As long as the next man doesn't like a party.

Leonard: If Sheldon’s testosterone dipped he’d become a butterfly.
[The guys are telling Zack about their prototype navigation system.]
Howard: You can put it in a satellite or a rocket and it'll run forever.
Zack: Cool. Could it be used for missiles and war stuff?
Howard: Yee-ah. But we didn't create it for weapons.
Leonard: And I doubt that the military would be interested in our little guidance system.
Zack: Is it better than the one they use now?
Leonard and Howard: [together] "Way more." "A lotǃ"
Zack: Huh. You sure you guys are smart?

Sheldon: Leonard, friends are like toilet paper. It's good to have extras under the sink.
Sheldon: You know the golden rule of line etiquette. No cuts, no butts, no coconuts.

Raj: Boy, all this standing is making me tired. Good thing I brought my collapsible stick-chair!
Howard: Stick-chair? You look like an idiot on that thing.
Raj: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chairs on sticks are comfy.
Beverly: How dare you invite your father without consulting me.
Leonard: Sorry but I don't think I need your permission to have my father at my wedding.
Beverly: You do understand that our marriage ended because he had an affair.
Leonard: I know and there is no excuse for that.
Beverly: He claimed I was cold, emasculating, and hadn't shown him any physical affection for years.
Leonard: [To himself] I was wrong, there are three excuses for that.

Mary: So Alfred, what is it that you do for a living?
Alfred Hofstadter: Oh, I'm an anthropologist. I study ancient peoples and cultures.
Mary: My goodness, so all the way back to the Flood.
[Alfred laughs]
Sheldon: Don't laugh. She wasn't joking.
Amy: Play with your phone.
Alfred: Well, on that note there are many cultures that have an apocalyptic flood as a part of their mythology.
Mary: I don't have a mythology. I have the unerring Word of God. But that's very interesting.
Alfred: Oh. I don't mean to disparage your faith. Actually I admire it.
Mary: Really?
Alfred: Yes, I'm an agnostic myself, but I prayed, many times, to God to turn my wife into a pillar of salt.
Mary: Well, he came close. Turned her into a giant block of ice.
