Quotes 

• Raj Koothrappali : Sheldon, I want you to meet Neil deGrasse Tyson from the Hayden Planetarium in New York.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm quite familiar with Dr. Tyson. He's responsible for the demotion of Pluto from planetary status. I liked Pluto. Ergo, I do not like you.

  Neil deGrasse Tyson : But I actually didn't demote Pluto. That was a vote of the International Astronomical Union.

  Sheldon Cooper : If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. Think about that, Dr. Tyson.

• Raj Koothrappali : Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't want to speak to the FBI!

  Leonard Hofstadter : Why not?

  Raj Koothrappali : I'm brown and I talk funny.

  Howard Wolowitz : They're just doing a background check on me.

  Raj Koothrappali : It doesn't matter. They'll find a reason to give me a one-way ticket back to Gandhi-ville. By the way, when I say that, it's not offensive.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Don't be ridiculous, Raj. You're here legally.

  Raj Koothrappali : Nobody cares. Do you know how long it's been since I got through airport security without being given a colonoscopy?

• Raj Koothrappali : Oh, there it is. Here comes a cavity search.

  FBI Special Agent Angela Page : Excuse me?

  Raj Koothrappali : Please don't send me back to India; it's so crowded! It's like the whole country is one endless Comic-Con, except everybody's wearing the same costume: Indian Guy.

  FBI Special Agent Angela Page : Dr. Koothrappali, I'm not...

  Raj Koothrappali : I love this country! The-the baseball, the freedom, the rampant morbid obesity! From California to the New York Island! I'm a real Yankee Doodle boy!
