Favorite Quotes:
* Sheldon: Is it wrong to say I love our killer robot?* Leonard: A killer robot. We built it.
Penny: Well, it almost killed me.
Sheldon: If it wanted to kill you, you’d be dead.
* Penny: I know you think you are a smooth-talking ladies man, but you are just pathetic and creepy.
* Penny: Flirting? You think I am flirting with you? I am not flirting with you. No woman is ever going to flirt with you. You’re just going to grow old and die alone.
* Kripke: We are all pathetic and creepy and can’t get girls. That’s why we fight robots.
* Howard’s Mom: She ran past me. Was I supposed to tackle her?
* Penny: I’ve been informed that you have feelings and apparently, I’ve hurt them.
* Leonard: You want to prepare him? Install a bladder and a pair of pants so he can wet himself.
* Howard: Look at me. What chance do I have if I don’t try too hard?
* Sheldon: I’d rather see MONTE dead than in your hands.
Kripke: That could be easily arranged.
* Sheldon: I did this. MONTE was killed by my hubris and my pride.
