Quotes 

• Leonard : I was thinking more of a bio-social exploration with a neuro-chemical overlay.

  Leslie Winkle : Wait, are you asking me out?

  Leonard : I was going to characterize it as the modification of our colleague/friendship paradigm, with the addition of a date-like component, but we don't need to quibble over terminology.

  Leslie Winkle : What sort of experiment would you propose?

  Leonard : There is a generally accepted pattern in this area. I would pick you up, take you to a restaurant, then we would see a movie, probably a romantic comedy featuring the talents of Hugh Grant or Sandra Bullock.

  Leslie Winkle : Interesting. And would you agree that the primary way we would evaluate either the success or failure of the date would be based on the biochemical reaction during the goodnight kiss?

  Leonard : Heart rate, pheromones, etc. Yes.

  Leslie Winkle : Well, why don't we just stipulate that the date goes well and move to the key variable?

  Leonard : You mean, kiss you now?

  Leslie Winkle : Yes.

  Leonard : Can you define the parameters of the kiss?

  Leslie Winkle : Closed mouth, but romantic. Mint?

  Leonard : Thank you. Shall I count down from three?

  Leslie Winkle : No, I think it needs to be spontaneous.

  [they kiss] 

  Leslie Winkle : What do you think?

  Leonard : You proposed the experiment. I think you should present your findings first.

  Leslie Winkle : Fair enough. On the plus side, it was a good kiss, reasonable technique, no extraneous spittle. On the other hand, no arousal.

  Leonard : None?

  Leslie Winkle : None.

  Leonard : Ah, well, thank you for your time.

  [they shake hands] 

• Leslie Winkle : I'm trying to see how long it takes a five hundred kilowatt oxygen-iodine laser to heat up my Cup-A-Noodles.
