- Sheldon Cooper: [Sheldon & Amy] We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it!
- Penny Hofstadter: Ahhhh, remember when they only did it on her birthday?
- Penny Hofstadter: Aren't you always saying it's about the work, not more money or a better title?
- Leonard Hofstadter: All the smart things I say, and you remember the dumb one.
- Sheldon Cooper: So you weren't even thinking about super-asymmetry?
- Dr. Campbell: Thinking about it? We don't even understand it.
- Sheldon Cooper: There you are.
- Dr. Campbell: Dr. Cooper, hello.
- Sheldon Cooper: Hello to you to. Now stop trying to stealing our Nobel Prize. You come up with your own idea.
- Dr. Campbell: That's not gonna to happen.
- Dr. Pemberton: Wouldn't that be something though?
- Dr. Campbell: Well, too bad.
- Sheldon Cooper: That discovery belongs to Amy and me.
- Dr. Pemberton: Look, Dr. Cooper. We all want a Nobel Prize. Super-asymmetry could be the breakthrough that gets us there.
- Dr. Campbell: But we can't fight over credit; we have to work together.
- Sheldon Cooper: So you're saying the four of us should agree to share this discovery?
- Dr. Pemberton: Well, no. Unfortunately only three people can share a Nobel.
- Sheldon Cooper: Oh, that's right.
- [whispering to Pemberton about Campbell]
- Sheldon Cooper: So he's out?
- Dr. Campbell: No, I'm not out.
- Sheldon Cooper: [whispering to Campbell about Pemberton] So he's out?
- Dr. Campbell: Neither of us is out. We think that the three physicists should be the ones who win the Nobel Prize for physics.
- Sheldon Cooper: Wait. So you want to cut Amy out?
- Dr. Campbell: No, of course not.
- Dr. Pemberton: We don't want to, but we're going to.
- Sheldon Cooper: But she's my wife.
- Dr. Pemberton: Yes, exactly. She's your wife. And she's a neuroscientist. It's like, what's she even doing on this paper? It just raises questions.
- Dr. Campbell: Look, Fermilab is going to recommend the three of us to the Nobel committee. The best chance we have is if your university does the same.
- Sheldon Cooper: I see. So you really think that I'm the kind of man who would sell out his partner of a chance of winning a Nobel Prize?
- Dr. Pemberton: Are you?
- Sheldon Cooper: Boy, I hope not!
- Amy Farrah Fowler: Maybe you should.
- Sheldon Cooper: What?
- Amy Farrah Fowler: This has been your lifelong dream. And you may not get another chance. I don't want to be the reason that you don't win a Nobel.
- Sheldon Cooper: You're the only reason I deserve one.
- Amy Farrah Fowler: But if your best shot is with them, I think you should take it.
- Sheldon Cooper: Is this what you really want me to do?
- Amy Farrah Fowler: I want you to be happy.
- Sheldon Cooper: Thank you.
- [Hugs]
- Penny Hofstadter: Hey, how long have you been sitting here?
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: Long enough for two of your neighbors to ask of I was lost and looking for my mother.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: The drug I've been working on for the past 5 years just got approved by the FDA.
- Penny Hofstadter: Wow!
- Raj Koothrappali: Congratulations. Was that the decongestant you developed?
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: No. We had to rebrand that as a solvent for mining equipment.
- Penny Hofstadter: Is it the anti-itch cream you were testing on grad students?
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: It's not, but that's a really funny story which I'm legally prevented from telling you.
