Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : I've been thinking about it, and I suppose I... I could help you with your research.

  Bert Kibbler : What changed your mind?

  Sheldon Cooper : Bert, I'm a gift horse. Don't look me in the mouth.

• Bert Kibbler : Hey, Sheldon, you left your jacket in my office last night.

  Sheldon Cooper : Uh, oh. No-no, I didn't. That's-that's not my jacket.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Then why does it say "Property of S. Cooper. Stop touching it"?

  Sheldon Cooper : It sounds like someone named Scooper doesn't want you touching his jacket.

  Howard Wolowitz : Are you guys working together on that meteorite project?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes, fine. You found me out. I'm doing geology. Just, please, don't tell anyone.

  Bert Kibbler : Are you embarassed of me?

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, no, no, no, not you. No, just the work that you've devoted your entire life to.

• Sheldon Cooper : Leonard, what are you doing here?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Bert asked for my help.

  Bert Kibbler : Yeah, he's an excellent scientist, and he doesn't tell me what time I can go to the bathroom.

  Sheldon Cooper : It's called bladder training. When you're in your 80s, you'll thank me for it.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Look, Sheldon, you were a jerk to Bert, and he walked away from you. So I feel like there's a lot he could teach me.

  Sheldon Cooper : Bert, please. I know I behaved poorly in the past, but things will be different this time. You'll see. Come on, let me in. We'll have some laughs, we'll calculate some isotope ratios.

  Bert Kibbler : I'm sorry, Sheldon.

  [he closes the door] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : So you just shut the door in his face? I got to start writing this stuff down.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, Bert. How you doing?

  Bert Kibbler : Well, you know, we geologists always get a little sad when Rocktober's over.

  Sheldon Cooper : Wordplay?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yes.

  Sheldon Cooper : Funny wordplay?

  Leonard Hofstadter : What do you think?

  Sheldon Cooper : [distastefully]  Eh.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Trust your gut.

• Bert Kibbler : Sheldon, I've got these four billion year old meteorites. I thought maybe they'd show signs of neutrino interactions. I could really use someone like you to help me with the math.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, so they would act as natural dark matter detectors.

  Raj Koothrappali : That sounds interesting.

  Sheldon Cooper : It does, but it's still geology. Sorry, Bert, I don't have time to play rocks with you.

  Bert Kibbler : I'm not asking you to play rocks. I'm asking you to collaborate on a research project. Although, if there's time, I guess we could play a round of "zinc, zinc, piece of quartz".

  Howard Wolowitz : Does sound better than cricket.

• Bert Kibbler : What do you want, Sheldon?

  Sheldon Cooper : I would like us to work together again. And I promise to keep my geology comments to myself, becaue while some of them are funny, all of them are mean.

• Bert Kibbler : I just have to see if my evenings are free. That's a joke. They are.
