Quotes 

• Penny : Hey. Shouldn't you be out with your gang spray painting equations on the side of buildings?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Come on, I'm sorry.

  Penny : I just can't believe you don't trust me.

  Leonard Hofstadter : I feel... Of course I do.

  Penny : Then why did you embarrass me in front of my friend who, by the way, knew exactly who you were.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Really?

  Penny : Your picture's on my refrigerator!

  Leonard Hofstadter : Oh. You know, I'm really starting to not like this guy.

  Penny : What is your problem? Do you use up all your thinking at work and then have none left over for when you get home?

  Leonard Hofstadter : I don't know. It's hard sometimes. Everywhere you go guys hit on you, even if I'm standing right there. And they are all taller than me. WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS TALLER THAN ME? You know what. This is all in my head. It's my problem, not yours.

  Penny : Leonard. Why do you always do this? Listen to me. You are the one I'm with. You know I love you. So would you please relax because you are driving me crazy!

  Leonard Hofstadter : You know that's the first time you said that you love me.

  Penny : [stunned]  Yea.

  Leonard Hofstadter : We're supposed to pretend it's not a big deal?

  Penny : That's... exactly what we're going to do because you're about to make me cry and we both know that if I start crying, you're going to start crying.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You're right we should...

  Penny : Fine!

  [Runs down stairs] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : [Enters apartment]  She loves me.

• Raj Koothrappali : This is so exciting! Like one of my classic murder mystery parties.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Like the case of who murdered three Saturday nights from my life.

  Howard Wolowitz : Colonel Koothrappali in the kitchen with the olive spread.

  Raj Koothrappali : It was tapanade, and you guys suck.

• Alex Jensen : Oh hi, Dr. Hofstader.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, hey, Alex. And call me, Leonard. Dr. Hofstadter is my father. And my mother. And my sister. And our cat. Although I'm pretty sure that Dr. "Boots" Hofstader's degree is honorary.

  Alex Jensen : May I join you, Leonard?

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sure. Um, let me ask you something. My girlfriend knows this guy at school. He's got an English accent.

  Alex Jensen : Oo, I love English accents.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Yea, you all do. Anyway, I feel like he's hitting on her. She says he's just being nice and I should trust her.

  Alex Jensen : It's probably harmless. You now how it is. I'm sure you get hit on all the time.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Right. Because girls are always like: Ooo, that guy owns two Star Trek uniforms and gets lots of ear infections. I gotta to get me some of that.

  Alex Jensen : You know, I bet it happens more than you realize.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Trust me. It doesn't.

  Alex Jensen : You sure? You're cute. You're funny. Maybe you're getting hit on and you don't even know it.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Really?

  Alex Jensen : Yep, pretty sure.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [laughs]  I have to get back to work. Thanks for listening.

  Alex Jensen : No problem.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hope no girls rip my clothes off along the way.

• Leonard Hofstadter : It's not to go to the bathroom. He goes at 8:00 AM, with follow-ups at 1:45 and 7:10 on high-fiber Fridays.

  Howard Wolowitz : It's sad that you know that.

  Leonard Hofstadter : That's just the tip of the sadness iceberg.

• Leonard Hofstadter : I'll be right back.

  Sheldon Cooper : You're still here? I thought you were long gone.

• [Opening lines] 

  Raj Koothrappali : What are you drawing over there?

  Sheldon Cooper : A containment unit for a frisbee-sized wormhole that could serve as a portal to a parallel universe.

  Howard Wolowitz : Oh, you silly doodlebug.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You know, scientists believe that contact with other lifeforms would not be good for us.

  Sheldon Cooper : It's a frisbee-sized wormhole, Leonard. I can just cover it with a frisbee. Here.

  [Hands napkin to Howard] 

  Howard Wolowitz : You expect me to build this?

  Sheldon Cooper : No, I expect you to wipe the pudding off your chin. Gentlemen?

• Leonard Hofstadter : If you're wondering why I've been staring through the peephole, I'm trying to get a look at this guy who's coming over to Penny's.

  Sheldon Cooper : To be honest, I didn't know you were here.
