Quotes

Sheldon Cooper : They're going to start making Professor Proton's science show again.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : I thought he passed away.
Howard Wolowitz : He did. He was cremated, and his remains were put in a baking soda volcano.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Don't make jokes. He meant a lot to Sheldon.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, me, too. I grew up watching his show. He's one of the reasons I became a scientist.
Penny Hofstadter : Aw. Thought you did it just to get girls.
Leonard Hofstadter : Joke's on you. It worked.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Who do you think it should be?
Sheldon Cooper : Well, it should be a scientist I respect. You know, someone with a pleasing voice and symmetrical facial features.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : Is he talking about himself?
Penny Hofstadter : If he's talking, he's talking about himself.
Sheldon Cooper : I just know how much Professor Proton touched me as a child, and I feel I owe it to him to try and touch as many children as possible.
Leonard Hofstadter : [awkward silence] You should put that on your audition tape.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, boy.
Penny Hofstadter : What?
Leonard Hofstadter : They cast the new Professor Proton.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Is it Sheldon?
Leonard Hofstadter : Not exactly.
Sheldon Cooper : [from his and Amy's apartment] WHEATON!
Leonard Hofstadter : [turning around back down the stairs] It's Wil Wheaton.

Bernadette Rostenkowski : [Howard is scarfing down food] Howie, slow down.
Howard Wolowitz : I can't. I'm not allowed to eat for twelve hours before my surgery, and I only got two more minutes.
Leonard Hofstadter : [seeing Raj eating just as fast] What surgery are you having?
Raj Koothrappali : I'm stress eating. My best friend's getting a vasectomy tomorrow.
Penny Hofstadter : And you're sad you won't be able to bear his child?
Sheldon Cooper : [looking at his phone] Oh, my goodness.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : If it's "vasectomy gone wrong" videos, he's seen them all. Including the one of the guy who's sitting on what appears to be a cantaloupe but is not.
Howard Wolowitz : [putting his plate of food down] And I'm done.
-
Sheldon Cooper : [showing Leonard and Penny his audition tape] So, what do you think?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, I already told him that I loved it, but if you found it dangerous or confusing or, I don't know, three to four times too long, now is the time to share.
Penny Hofstadter : I... I don't know what to say. Leonard, do you know what to say?
Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon, uh, I thought it, uh... it... it looked like you were having so much fun.
Sheldon Cooper : Hey! That's what you used to tell me to say to Penny after one of her terrible plays.
Penny Hofstadter : [hitting him] Hey!
Leonard Hofstadter : Hey!
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, what was wrong with it? You know, did you find it... borderline psychotic? I mean, I liked that about it, but... you guys discuss.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Do you remember when you were a kid and you'd watch Professor Proton?
Sheldon Cooper : Of course.
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, did he ever make you, I don't know, hate science and the people who do it?
Sheldon Cooper : What are you saying?
Leonard Hofstadter : I... I just think it would... better if your contempt for children wasn't so much in the foreground.
-
Sheldon Cooper : You want me to lie?
Penny Hofstadter : Well, it's not lying. It's acting. Sheldon Cooper may not like kids, but Professor Proton loves them.
Sheldon Cooper : Interesting. You know, I really hadn't thought of it that way. It... it's similar to how, you know, I'm afraid of dogs, but my "D&D" character likes dogs, you know? But he's allergic, so he can't be around them.
Penny Hofstadter : Why don't we have a dog?
Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, you can always re-shoot it.
Sheldon Cooper : Mm, I suppose. And, you know, maybe I could even get some tips from someone who's acted professionally.
Penny Hofstadter : Oh. Sheldon, obviously, I'd be happy to help you out.
Sheldon Cooper : [more condescending than grateful] I don't know what to say.
