Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : Good news gentlemen! Amy's at a conference this weekend, which means I'm available to be entertained. As today's youth might put it, who wants to get their Sheld-on?

  Howard Wolowitz : Bernie and I are getting the house ready for the remodel. We could always use an extra pair of hands.

  Sheldon Cooper : Yeah, that sounds awful. Raj?

  Raj Koothrappali : I've got time booked in the telescope room all weekend, scanning for rogue planets. You're more than welcome to join me.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's the one to beat! Leonard?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, if anything, I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.

  Sheldon Cooper : Well then, it looks like we have a winner. Congratulations.

  Raj Koothrappali : Well, I should warn you, it's just looking at data for hours and hours on a computer screen.

  Sheldon Cooper : Stop selling it kid, you won.

• Leonard Hofstadter : [about his mother]  Do you know, she never let me celebrate my birthday because being born was her achievement, not mine.

  Dr. Gallo : That's heartbreaking.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Right. To this day I send her a card every year with a little money in it.

• Penny Hofstadter : There's this doctor who refuses to see any sales reps. I'm trying to get in for months.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hm, did you try wearing the shirt I said was inappropriate for work?

  Penny Hofstadter : Oh, the doctor's a woman. But... yes, because you never know.

• Leonard Hofstadter : What I'm hearing is that you feel that I sometimes take too long to express myself, and you wish I'd be more succinct.

  Penny Hofstadter : You're only hearing that because I cannot roll my eyes any louder.

  Leonard Hofstadter : I know. After we talked about my issues with my mother - nothing too deep, just how she ruined my life - I told her about you and your drug, she said she'd be happy to see you.

  Penny Hofstadter : Really! You're the best husband ever.

  [she hugs him] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : Mmm. So you'll go to the Doctor Who convention with me next week?

  Penny Hofstadter : I guess.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Ohhh. I actually did hear your eyes roll that time.

• Leonard Hofstadter : [Playing jump rope with some girls]  Remember, girls! You decide what makes you happy, not your emotionally withholding mothers!

• Leonard Hofstadter : [on how to name a discovered asteroid]  You know what'd be nice? Name it after your girlfriends. Show them how much you care.

  Raj Koothrappali : That is a great idea!

  Sheldon Cooper : It's perfect. It appears romantic, but it's really just a rock in space that gets me out of Valentine's Day forever.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Dr. Gallo made me realize that I'm a worthwhile person and that my feelings matter.

  Raj Koothrappali : I learned that for free from a cat poster, but good for you.
