Quotes 

• Penny : [calling Leonard on the phone]  Sheldon's in jail.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon's in jail?

  Raj Koothrappali : [to Howard]  You called it.

  Leonard Hofstadter : For what?

  Penny : What do you think? For doing the same crap he always does, except to a judge.

• Leonard Hofstadter : I can't decide whether I want Stan Lee to autograph my "Journey into Mystery" 83, first appearance of Thor, or my "Fantastic Four" number 5, first appearance of Dr. Doom.

  [Raj presses a button and his remote-controlled shirt plays the 'Jeopardy!' "Think!" music] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : Alex, I'm gonna go with "What is... you're a dumbass?"

• [last lines] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, where you been?

  Sheldon Cooper : I'll tell you where I've been. You boys may have had gelato with Stan Lee and gotten autographed comics, but I saw the inside of his house and got an autographed application for a restraining order.

  Howard Wolowitz : [sarcastically]  Sweet.

  Sheldon Cooper : Plus, I get to hang out with him again... at the hearing. This is going to look great, hanging next to my restraining order from Leonard Nimoy.

• Leonard Hofstadter : It's not that big a deal. You just go down to the court on Thursday and you pay the fine.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm not gonna pay a fine! That would imply I'm guilty!

  Howard Wolowitz : You *are* guilty.

  [Raj presses a button and his remote-controlled shirt plays the 'Law & Order' "thunk thunk" sound; Raj, Howard and Leonard snicker with laughter] 

  Howard Wolowitz : That one I liked.

• [first lines] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : [Raj enters the comic book store, then presses a button and the Imperial March from Star Wars starts blaring out of speakers in the middle of his shirt and he struts in like he's Darth Vader]  Will you please turn your shirt off?

  Raj Koothrappali : What? I'm giving myself dramatic entrance music. People will know I'm awesome and to be feared.

  Howard Wolowitz : Right. There's nothing more awesome and frightening than a man who's got music blasting from between his nipples.

• Sheldon Cooper : I've decided I'm going to have Mr. Lee sign my copy of this month's Batman.

  Leonard Hofstadter : That's crazy; Stan Lee had nothing to do with Batman.

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. Which is why no-one else will ask him to sign one, and I will be the possessor of a unique albeit confusing artifact which will set me apart from the hoi polloi of comic book fandom.

  Raj Koothrappali : That's a great idea; I'm going to get him to sign a Batman as well.

  Sheldon Cooper : What is it about the the word 'unique' you don't understand?
