Quotes 

• Leslie Winkle : So, I heard your relationship with Penny crashed to the ground like blue ice falling out of an airplane lavatory.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Where did you hear that?

  Leslie Winkle : Actually I read it: Wolowitz texted me.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [Reading her phone]  ... like blue ice falling out of an airplane lavatory. Yep!

  Leslie Winkle : I thought it was pretty a good one. I gave him an "LOL."

• Leslie Winkle : Hello, dummy.

  Sheldon Cooper : Hello to you, insufficiently intelligent person.

  Leslie Winkle : Ooh, rush me to the burn unit.

• Leonard Hofstadter : [Referring to their upcoming date]  How do you suggest we proceed?

  Leslie Winkle : Your place. We'll order Chinese, you'll rent a movie - artsy but accessible - then light petting, no coitus.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sounds fun...

  Leslie Winkle : I'll leave the details up to you. I think it's better if you assume the male role.

• Leslie Winkle : Loop quantum gravity is the future of physics.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sorry, Leslie, I guess I prefer my space stringy, not loopy.

  Leslie Winkle : I'm glad I found out the truth about you before this went any further.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Truth? What truth? We're talking about untested hypotheses. It's no big deal.

  Leslie Winkle : It isn't? Really? Tell me, how will we raise the children?

  Leonard Hofstadter : I guess we wait until they're old enough and let them choose their own theory.

  Leslie Winkle : We can't let them choose. They're children!

  Leonard Hofstadter : Wait, where are you going?

  Leslie Winkle : I'm sorry. I could have accepted our kids being genetically unable to eat ice cream or ever get a good view of a parade, but this... this is a deal breaker.

• Leonard Hofstadter : I'm sorry about all of Sheldon's interruptions. He can be a bit of an eccentric.

  Leslie Winkle : If by "eccentric" you mean passive-aggressive East-Texas blowhole, I agree.

• Leslie Winkle : Loop quantum gravity clearly offers more testable predictions than string theory.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm listening. Amuse me.

  Leslie Winkle : Okay. Well, for one thing, we expect quantized space-time to manifest itself in minute differences in the speed of light for different colors.

  Sheldon Cooper : Balderdash. Matter clearly consists of tiny strings.

  Leslie Winkle : [to Leonard]  Are you gonna let him talk to me like that?

• Leonard Hofstadter : I think tonight was a very good start.

  Leslie Winkle : Me too. You're sure you're okay postponing intercourse until our relationship is past the initial viability test?

  Leonard Hofstadter : No problem, I'm very skilled at postponing intercourse.

• Leslie Winkle : Now that you're unattached, maybe we can revisit our previous attachment.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Are you suggesting another bout of stress release?

  Leslie Winkle : No, I'm all done with casual sex. From now on, I'm fully committed to the traditional relationship paradigm.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Really? What changed?

  Leslie Winkle : It's hard to say. I guess there's a time in every woman's life when she gets tired of waking up on a strange futon with a bunch of people she doesn't know.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, I can see how that would... a bunch of people?

  Leslie Winkle : Anyway, I figure it's time to slow things down and, who better to slow things down with than you?

  Leonard Hofstadter : I'm flattered.
