[last lines]
Sheldon Cooper : Can you read them back?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Revised ground rule number one: we are on the same team but it *is* a competition.
Sheldon Cooper : Excellent, excellent. And on a related point, you're going down, punk.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Revised ground rule number two: there are definitely stupid questions, and those who ask them can be told so right to their *stupid* face.
Sheldon Cooper : I love that one.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Thanks, babe. Number three: fair topics for insult include educational pedigree, scientific field, intellectual prowess, and mommas.
Sheldon Cooper : That list is *strong*. Like your mother's urge to be promiscuous with sailors.

Sheldon Cooper : I believe I've made some progress on our ground rules.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Oh, good. What are they?
Sheldon Cooper : Number one: in matters of physics, I have the final say. In matters of neuroscience, you have the final say, unless I disagree. Number two: when we publish, my name goes first. Oh, subsequently, if we win any awards, I speak first. I don't want to be talking when the orchestra plays us off.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Can I see that?
Sheldon Cooper : Of course.
[Amy takes notebook and tosses it out the window]
Sheldon Cooper : I'll get that back. Like all my underwear, that notebook says "Property of Sheldon Cooper".
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, if we're gonna have ground rules, I'll tell you the first ground rule: I make the ground rules.
Sheldon Cooper : I'd write that down, but I can't now, can I?
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : We're finally making progress. I wish we could do it without fighting.
Sheldon Cooper : What if the fighting is the reason we're making progress?
Amy Farrah Fowler : I suppose it's conceivable that the hormones associated with our fight or flight response could be sharpening our cognitive processes.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : I had a feeling you were using the wrong computational model, but I didn't say anything 'cause you're so sensitive!
Sheldon Cooper : Just because I'm easily bothered by light, heat, sound, smell and the way birds look at me does not mean I'm sensitive!
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : [Looking at their boards] Wow. Look at that.
Sheldon Cooper : Yes. It's remarkable.
Amy Farrah Fowler : So we're agreed: it's total garbage.
Sheldon Cooper : By the way, your name can go first.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : [after carrying her harp up the stairs] You know, I like harp lessons, but I'm thinking of switching to elevator repair lessons.
-
Sheldon Cooper : Can you stop breathing so loud? I can hear your nose whistling.
Amy Farrah Fowler : I can hear your face talking, so we're even.
[Beat]
Sheldon Cooper : All right! Either blow your nose or teach it to play Camptown Races!
Amy Farrah Fowler : FIne! Fine! You want me to blow my nose? Here, I'll blow it!
[Blows nose really hard at Sheldon]
Amy Farrah Fowler : Better?
Sheldon Cooper : No, I can still hear it. Oh, wait, that's me. Never mind, it's fine.
-
Sheldon Cooper : It seems we have a choice to make. Abandon all ground rules in the name of science or give up collaborating for the sake of our relationship.
Amy Farrah Fowler : There's only one clear choice.
Sheldon Cooper : Science.
Amy Farrah Fowler : No, you bonehead!
