Mayim Bialik: Amy Farrah Fowler
Quotes
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Look, there are a bunch of other tenants in this buiding. All you need is for one of them to vote your way, and then Sheldon's out and I didn't betray him.
Penny Hofstadter : Hey, you know, that's actually a good plan.
Amy Farrah Fowler : That you came up with all by yourself. Now, if you'll excuse me, told Sheldon I was going to the market, so... I'm taking some of your stuff.
[she takes a few items from the fridge]
Amy Farrah Fowler : [leaving] I was never here.
Leonard Hofstadter : Sometimes you don't see it 'cause she's next to Sheldon, but she's pretty weird.
-
Sheldon Cooper : How can I focus on my work when all I can think about is how much I want that sandwich?
Amy Farrah Fowler : So go get one.
Sheldon Cooper : I can't just give into every urge I have when I have it. That's why I have a rigid schedule. It's bad enough I had to give in to my urge to create a rigid schedule.
Amy Farrah Fowler : You know, why don't I just go down to the food truck and ask them to move?
Sheldon Cooper : Why are you taking cash?
Amy Farrah Fowler : No reason.
-
Penny Hofstadter : Do you know he is the entire tenants' association?
Amy Farrah Fowler : No, but I'm not surprised. He's also the pope of a planet he invented in hyperspace.
[to Sheldon]
Amy Farrah Fowler : Why didn't you tell me?
Sheldon Cooper : 'Cause I wanted to make sure that you loved the man, not the office.
Leonard Hofstadter : You can't just declare yourself president.
Sheldon Cooper : I didn't. I called a meeting, I was the only one to attend. I nominated myself, and after a pretty moving speech, I voted myself in.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Don't be mad at me. I mean, I can't vote against him.
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, even when he's being crazy?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, what other times are there?
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : It's not your fault. I mean, what man wouldn't be seduced by the power to decide how late the laundry room stays open?
Penny Hofstadter : Wait, you're the reason I had to come back and get my jeans the next morning?
Sheldon Cooper : I can't believe you expect me to give that up!
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, it's the American way, the peaceful transfer of power.
Sheldon Cooper : I don't know.
Leonard Hofstadter : Think about "Ant-Man".
Sheldon Cooper : I'm always thinking about "Ant-Man"!
Leonard Hofstadter : Michael Douglas had the suit, and then he passed it on to Paul Rudd.
Sheldon Cooper : Maybe you're right.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Really? The "Ant-Man" thing? That's what won you over?
Sheldon Cooper : Yes. He got the details right. That's how you use a superhero.
-
Sheldon Cooper : I'm sorry, I think you're forgetting that the sandwich was invented by John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich.
Penny Hofstadter : Oh! The truck's called "Pearl of Sandwich." Now I get it.
Howard Wolowitz : All right, that smells too good. I got to get one of those.
Amy Farrah Fowler : And I think you're forgetting that there are written documents of meat between bread being eating in China during the Tang dynasty.
Bernadette Rostenkowski : You know what? I think I'll go with you. And then maybe we just go home.
-
Sheldon Cooper : I can smell that food truck from up here.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Just close the window if you don't like the smell.
Sheldon Cooper : Of course I like the smell. It's salt and fat. My brain may be evolved, but my tongue still wants to pick up a club and drag that truck back to my cave.
Amy Farrah Fowler : So there's something you like, but it's also driving you crazy. Been there, doing it now.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon, I have an advanced degree in the study of the human brain, so if my fiancé is a raving lunatic, it's kind of a ding on my reputation.
Sheldon Cooper : If leaders just stepped aside every time they didn't have the consent of the governed, what would we have?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Democracy.
Sheldon Cooper : Not on my watch.
-
Sheldon Cooper : I suppose it is time I passed this on to Leonard.
Penny Hofstadter : Thank you.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, thanks. I-I know that's hard for you.
Sheldon Cooper : It was. But you know what? Instead of being in charge, I can now be the vocal opposition, criticizing and badgering the president at every turn.
Amy Farrah Fowler : I think you'll be really good at that.
Sheldon Cooper : Me, too.
Leonard Hofstadter : I think I've made a huge mistake.
Penny Hofstadter : Me, too.
-
Sheldon Cooper : What is happening? Everybody's supposed to be eating Chinese food.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, actually, I believe the Chinese may have invented the sandwich. Their dish "rou jia mo" literally means "meat between bread." So it looks like all of us, including Penny, are eating Chinese food.
Raj Koothrappali : Except for you, Sheldon. You're eating crow.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : We vote you out.
Sheldon Cooper : Hold on. Hold on. First, we have to read the minutes from last month's meeting. Amy, would you do the honors?
Amy Farrah Fowler : [taking the tablet he offers] Why not? "Saturday, March 3rd. 7:05, meeting called to order. 7:06, president gets shampoo in eye. 7:07, meeting adjorned."
-
Penny Hofstadter : Okay, can we vote you out now?
Sheldon Cooper : Ah, very well. New business.
Leonard Hofstadter : I move for a vote of no confidence in the president.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah.
Leonard Hofstadter : Two to one, you lose.
Sheldon Cooper : Not so fast. I believe we can one tenant here who has not made her voice heard.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [everyone turns to look at her] Oh...
Sheldon Cooper : We're waiting, fiancée.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah, we're waiting, best friend.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, we're waiting, neighbor who... needed a battery and totally got one from me, no strings attached.
Amy Farrah Fowler : I don't want to be in the middle of this. No matter which way I vote, I'm either a bad friend, a bad fiancée, or an ungrateful recipient of a battery.
Sheldon Cooper : Next time I have a meeting in the shower, you're welcome to attend.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Sheldon! Sheldon for president! I pick Sheldon!
-
Penny Hofstadter : So you just let him get away with anything?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, not anything. But honestly, "pastrami sandwich" is not the hill I want to die on.
Penny Hofstadter : It's not about the sandwich. It's about the principle.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, principle. And a little bit sandwich.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah.
-
Amy Farrah Fowler : Hi. What are you doing?
Sheldon Cooper : Leonard and Penny are trying to turn the tenants against me, so there are about to see just what kind of power the president of the tenants' association wields.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [picking up a poster he's made] "You must be at least this tall to use washing machine"?
Sheldon Cooper : I'm gonna hang it up higher than Leonard. And then his clothes will smell. And nobody's voting for a man with smelly clothes. No, not when there's a perfectly unscented incumbent on the ballot.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : We found something pretty interesting.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [transparently] Huh. Well, that is suprising. I, for one, have no idea what they're talking about.
Leonard Hofstadter : Turns out when Amy took over Penny's apartment, she was put on the lease, not you.
Penny Hofstadter : Yeah, and when I moved across the hall, you got taken off the lease and I got added.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, what are you saying? That Sheldon's not technically a tenant at all and therefore has no standing to be president of the tenants' association, no matter who votes for him? I don't know how you found that out, but I am guessing all on your own.
Leonard Hofstadter : So, looks like we need to figure out who the new president should be. I nominate myself.
Penny Hofstadter : I second it.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Huh. Well, as a woman in love, I want to stand by my man. Too bad that's been rendered bureaucratically impossible.
-
Sheldon Cooper : Well, this is hard for me, because I do love a legal technicality, and this is a good one. Although, not quite as good as the provision in California law, which states a person who occupies a dwelling for thirty consecutive days becomes a tenant at will, and as such...
Amy Farrah Fowler : I vote for Leonard!
Sheldon Cooper : You... what?
Amy Farrah Fowler : I'm sorry, Sheldon. With minimal power comes minimal responsibility, and you couldn't handle it.
Sheldon Cooper : Don't you misquote "Spider-Man" to me.
-
Sheldon Cooper : I think you're defining "bread" very loosely. If we go down that road, where does it end?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, I would say when we go to bed, but you talk in your sleep.
Sheldon Cooper : I don't want to get into this with you right now. We'll talk about this when I'm asleep.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [as they argue, Leonard, Penny, and Raj leave] I don't want to talk about when you're asleep. How come we can't talk about it now?
Sheldon Cooper : Well, because I'm eating now.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Fine. How's your moo shoo?
Sheldon Cooper : You know what? It's great.
[picking up his food]
Sheldon Cooper : Wait, look at that. Hmm. Well, maybe the Chinese did invent the sandwich. I guess you were right.
Amy Farrah Fowler : [seeing everyone is gone] Too bad no one's around to hear it.
