Favorite Quotes:
* Leonard: What are you looking at? You’ve never seen a hypocrite before?* Howard: And that Charlie Brown is what boredom is all about.
* Sheldon: Wait. You bought me a present?
Penny: Uh huh.
Sheldon: But why would you do such a thing?
Penny: I don’t know. Cause it’s Christmas?
* Sheldon: I know you think you’re being generous, but the foundation of gift giving is reciprocity. You haven’t given me a gift; you’ve given me an obligation.
* Penny: So, uh, Dave, how do you know Leonard?
Dave: I’m a physicist.
Penny: [laughs] No you’re not.
Dave: Why is that so surprising?
Penny: It’s just that the physicists I know are indoorsy and pale.
Leonard: I’m not indoorsy. I just wear the appropriate amount of sunblock because I don’t take melanoma lightly.
* Penny: You know I love science.
Leonard: Since when?
Penny: Since always. Call me a geek but I am just nuts for the whole subatomic particle thing.
Dave: The last thing I would ever call you is a geek.
Penny: Well, that’s what I am. Queen of the nerds.
* Dave: Really? I don’t know you live next to something like that without doing something about it.
* Sheldon: What it is is a cacophonous assault of eucalyptus, bayberry, cinnamon, and vanilla. It’s as if my head were trapped in the pajamas of a sultan.
* Sheldon: That presupposes Penny is tense.
Raj: She knows you she’s tense. We all are. Buy a basket.
* Penny: Can I drive the motorcycle?
Dave: Sure, why not? You can’t do any worse than Leonard.
* Howard: Why couldn’t you just do what Leonard did and get Penny a new boyfriend?
* Leonard: Next to him I’m like one of those sign language gorillas who knows how to ask for grapes.
* Penny: Dave is not smarter than you, he’s an idiot.
* Penny: And you, if you are so ok with the way things are between us why are you so jealous?
* Sheldon: Do you know what this means? All I need is a healthy ovum and I can grow my own Leonard Nemoi.
* Penny: Leonard, look, Sheldon’s hugging me.
