Quotes 

  • Howard Wolowitz : Why would the military want Sheldon?

    Leonard Hofstadter : I don't know. Target practice?

  • Penny Hofstadter : You know, maybe you're all more like the guy who didn't invent the electric car and less like the guy who didn't invent the light bulb.

    Sheldon Cooper : She's right. Maybe we're all a bunch of Teslas after all.

    Amy Farrah Fowler : Didn't Tesla die penniless, forgotten and insane?

    Howard Wolowitz : [to Sheldon]  You may have a point about her social skills.

    Sheldon Cooper : He wasn't insane.

    Leonard Hofstadter : He did fall in love with a pigeon.

    Sheldon Cooper : Well, if we're gonna call Tesla crazy for loving something small and unappealing, might as well put Penny in a padded cell right now.

  • Howard Wolowitz : Sheldon went to the Air Force behind our backs.

    Sheldon Cooper : I did nothing of the sort. I had an idea for a neutrino-based communication system, I presented it to them, and they were interested.

    Howard Wolowitz : But your communication system was based on our guidance system.

    Sheldon Cooper : And sonar is based on bats. You don't see them hanging upside down in a patent attorney's office.

  • Leonard Hofstadter : Tesla was a genius who invented our electrical grid. Edison just wanted to get rich and famous.

    Penny Hofstadter : Didn't he invent the lightbulb?

    Sheldon Cooper : That's what he wants you to think. But without the foundational work of Ebenezer Kinnersley, Warren de la Rue and James Bowman Lindsay, you wouldn't know Edison any more than you know Ebenezer Kinnersley, Warren de la Rue or James Bowman Lindsay.

    Amy Farrah Fowler : Isn't he sexy all fired up? He really gets my current alternating, if you know what I mean.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Edison was kind of a publicity hog and a bully.

    Raj Koothrappali : Yeah, he electrocuted an elephant named Topsy just to make himself famous. If I had an elephant named Topsy, he would want for nothing. Also, he'd be named Jumbo.

    Sheldon Cooper : And worse than that, Edison filmed the first on-screen kiss, so he's basically a pornographer... Although every time I put that in Wikipedia, someone takes it out.

    Howard Wolowitz : [to Amy]  Is your current still alternating?

    Amy Farrah Fowler : We're lucky there aren't any elephants in here.

  • Howard Wolowitz : Did you screw us over?

    Barry Kripke : Ooo, I can't tell you that. It's cwassified.
