Quotes 

• Amy Farrah Fowler : [Sheldon hands Amy a gift bag, as a token of apology; Amy isn't pleased at first]  Jewelry? Seriously? Sheldon, you are the most shallow, self-centered person I have ever met. Do you really think that another transparently-manipu...

  [as soon as she takes it out, her tone and demeanor instantly change and she is practically singing] 

  Amy Farrah Fowler : OHHH, IT'S A TIARA! A tiara! I have a tiara!

  [to Penny, talking quickly as she dashes around the room] 

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me!

  Penny : [helps her put it on]  You... look... beautiful.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [Yelling happily]  OF COURSE I DO, I AM A PRINCESS AND THIS IS MY TIARA!

  [she turns, kisses, and embraces Sheldon and doesn't let go] 

  Sheldon Cooper : [after he slowly, but not uncomfortably, puts his arms around her, to Penny straight-faced]  You were right. A tiara was too much.

• Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, a little Red Dead Redemption, huh

  Sheldon Cooper : [shown playing video game]  Yes.

  Leonard Hofstadter : How come you're not doing a mission? You're just wandering around.

  Sheldon Cooper : I had a rough night, thought I'd go for a walk and clear my head.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Some people go outside and do that.

• Sheldon Cooper : I'm gonna have a whiskey. Do you want anything?

  Leonard Hofstadter : No, I can't. I'm playing Grand Theft Auto later.

• Penny : Sheldon, what is wrong with you?

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, not much. Although, I can be faulted for being overly fond of koala bears. I don't know what it is. When they start munching on eucalyptus, I just melt inside.

• Sheldon Cooper : I don't think there's anything in this jewelry store that Amy would appreciate more than the humidifier we were just looking at at Sears.

  Penny : Oh, my God! Now I know what I sound like to you when I say stupid stuff.

• Sheldon Cooper : Coins lodged in body parts is not a source of amusement. When I was five, Billy Sparks put a Mexican Peso up my nose.

  Howard Wolowitz : How is that not amusing?

  Sheldon Cooper : It's still there. Takes me 45 minutes to get through airport security.

  Howard Wolowitz : Look, I made Sheldon disappear, tada!

  Leonard Hofstadter : Next time you should open with that.

• Penny : Sheldon, that pocket watch is ridiculous.

  Sheldon Cooper : Nonsense. I look like a train conductor.

• Penny : Well, if it isn't Pasadena's favorite new power couple, Shamy.

  Sheldon Cooper : [to Amy]  And that is the answer to your question "what is wrong with going to the Cheesecake Factory?"

• Sheldon Cooper : [game character walks into saloon]  I'll just go in this saloon and drink my troubles away.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You know... Digital alcohol is never a solution.

• Sheldon Cooper : Is this how you're going to entertain children, by lying to them?

  Howard Wolowitz : How is this lying?

  Sheldon Cooper : A magic show is an inherently deceitful proposition. "This is an ordinary tophat." "You've chosen that card freely." "I do not have a set of lock picks lodged in my keister."

  Raj Koothrappali : Can't you just enjoy the wonder, Sheldon? Why must you peek behind the curtain, or up the butt?

• Sheldon Cooper : Oh, Lord. A man steps out for a minute to empty his bowels and catch up on the latest adventures of the Caped Crusader, and returns to find that his apartment has transformed into a cabaret.
