Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : Oh, hold on. While I'm comfortable speaking about science, I'm not sure I know how to spark the interest of school children. Better Google it.

  Howard Wolowitz : What exactly are you looking up?

  Sheldon Cooper : [Types]  How do I get twelve-year-old girls excited?

  Leonard Hofstadter , Howard Wolowitz : Nooo!

• Sheldon Cooper : I believe in a gender-blind society like in Star Trek, where women and men of all races and creeds worked side by side as equals.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You mean where they were advanced enough to invent an inter-stellar warp drive but a black lady still answered the space phone?

  Howard Wolowitz : Oh, I did spend a lot of my shower time with Lieutenant Uhura.

• Sheldon Cooper : I suppose there is a history of professional women using their initials so as not to be prejudged: Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling... uh, Star Trek's D.C. Fontana...

  Howard Wolowitz : Van Nuys pole dancer D.D. Melons.

• Sheldon Cooper : Well, I think this whole thing is a waste of time.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You mean helping women get interested in science?

  Sheldon Cooper : No, helping anyone. People should be able to take care of themselves.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You mean like when I drove you to the pharmacy, the dry cleaners and the post office?

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm not against people using tools. Even an otter picks up a rock once in a while to open a clam.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [Lying on the couch, dressed as Snow White]  Sheldon, all Snow White needs is one kiss to wake up.

  Sheldon Cooper : [Sitting at his desk]  I heard you the first time.

• Leonard Hofstadter : We're supposed to be encouraging women to study science. Can you at least play a less sexist game?

  Sheldon Cooper : I don't see anything sexist. She can handle a battleaxe as well as any man.

  Howard Wolowitz : And she has mammary glands that can breast feed a family of thirty and have enough milk left over to open a Baskin-Robbins.

  Sheldon Cooper : Mother, warrior princess, small business owner, I see glass ceilings shattering all over the place.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Look, I know you guys don't want to do this but we have no choice, so you can either bitch and whine, or we can just get it over with.

  Howard Wolowitz : I got whine.

  Sheldon Cooper : I got the 'b' word.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, well, it's in our contract to serve on a university committee, and frankly this is one I believe in. Okay, here we go. 'Encouraging more women to pursue a career in the sciences.'

  Howard Wolowitz : C'mon, if I was any good at convincing women to do stuff, I wouldn't have spent so much of my twenties in the shower.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Nice of your school to let us talk to girls about science.

  Howard Wolowitz : Yeah. They're very excited to hear from their most famous student, except for the serial killer that ate all those prostitutes.

  Sheldon Cooper : Must be exciting to come back to your alma mater as an astronaut.

  Howard Wolowitz : I know. I left here a skinny nerd...

  Leonard Hofstadter : And now you're also an astronaut.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [Amy is lying on the couch in a Snow White costume]  Sheldon, all Snow White needs is one little kiss to wake up.

  Sheldon Cooper : Heard you the first time.

• Sheldon Cooper : Hello, female children. Allow me to inspire you with a story about a great female scientist. Polish-born, French-educated, Madame Curie. Co-discoverer of radioactivity, she was a hero of science... until her hair fell out, her vomit and stool became filled with blood, and she was poisoned to death by her own discovery. With a little hard work, I see no reason why that can't happen to any of you.
