Quotes 

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Did you know that the iconic Valentine's heart shape is not actually based on the shape of a human heart, but rather on the shape of the buttocks of a female bending over?

  Penny : So I spent seventh grade dotting my I's with little asses?

  [Amy nods] 

  Penny : Cool.

• Sheldon Cooper : Aren't you slicing that man's brain a little too thin?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : It's too thin if I were making a foot-long brain sandwich at Quizno's. For examination under a two photon microscope, it's fine.

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, you're the expert. If the correct way to do it is the wrong way, then I yield.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Very well. If you die and donate your body to science, I promise to slice your brain like Canadian bacon.

• Sheldon Cooper : What were the symptoms?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Elevated heart rate, moist palms, dry mouth, and localized vascular throbbing.

  Sheldon Cooper : Localized to what region?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Ears and genitalia.

  Sheldon Cooper : Interesting. Not body parts that usually team up.

• Sheldon Cooper : Possible explanations for your symptoms are, in descending order of likelihood: hyperthyroidism, premature menopause, hosting an alien parasite, or, and I only include it for the sake of covering absolutely all bases... sexual arousal.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Where would I have picked up an alien parasite?

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, I am not going through menopause!

  Sheldon Cooper : Are you sure? You said that with the testy bark of an old biddy.

• Bernadette Rostenkowski : How do you know him?

  Penny : Oh, we went out a couple times.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : I'm often flummoxed by current slang. Does 'went out' mean 'had intercourse'?

  Bernadette Rostenkowski : Yes,

  Penny : No, no. But in this case yes.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : Zack, I am Amy Farrah Fowler. We met the other night. I have spent my life in pursuit of pure knowledge. Until I met you, my decisions were founded in logic and reason. And yet here I stand before you, 130 pounds of raging estrogen, longing to grab hold of your gluteus maximus, and make Shakespeare's metaphorical beast with two backs.

  Zack : My gluteus what?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : On the other hand, as I look at the blank, ape-like expression on your face, I have decided to adopt the Vulcan practice of Kolinahr. Goodbye, Zack.

  Zack : Bye.

  [They shake hands] 

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Hoo-ooh!

  [Amy turns and limps away] 

  Amy Farrah Fowler : That should hold me for awhile.

• Amy Farrah Fowler : I think we need to face the cold hard truth. I was sexually aroused by Penny's friend, Zack.

  Sheldon Cooper : Hang on, I don't know that we've given the alien parasite hypothesis a fair shake.
