Sheldon Cooper : They're going to start making Professor Proton's science show again.

Howard Wolowitz : He did. He was cremated, and his remains were put in a baking soda volcano.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Don't make jokes. He meant a lot to Sheldon.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, me, too. I grew up watching his show. He's one of the reasons I became a scientist.
Penny Hofstadter : Aw. Thought you did it just to get girls.
Leonard Hofstadter : Joke's on you. It worked.

Amy Farrah Fowler : It would be nice if they cast a woman.

[demonstrating again]
Sheldon Cooper : Hmm. And, uh, enranged.

Sheldon Cooper : Hello. I am theoretical physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper, auditioning for the role of Professor Proton. Now, excuse me while I get into character.
[he turns around, then back to face the camera]
Sheldon Cooper : Hello. I am Professor Proton. And today, boys and girls, we're going to have fun with science. Did you know you could calculate the mass of an electron using household items? It's true. All you'll need is a pencil, some paper, dry ice, rubbing alcohol, and a spool of 50 micron-thick cobalt-60 wire. And remember, don't put it in your mouth, or instead of becoming a scientist, you'll become wildly radioactive.
Amy Farrah Fowler : Hang on. I have a question. Do you have any experiments that aren't life-threatening?
Sheldon Cooper : Come on! That was a perfect take and you ruined it.
[he does his "enraged" expression]
Sheldon Cooper : Oh, look! Hey, I did need "enraged".

Sheldon Cooper : [showing Leonard and Penny his audition tape] So, what do you think?
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, I already told him that I loved it, but if you found it dangerous or confusing or, I don't know, three to four times too long, now is the time to share.
Penny Hofstadter : I... I don't know what to say. Leonard, do you know what to say?
Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon, uh, I thought it, uh... it... it looked like you were having so much fun.
Sheldon Cooper : Hey! That's what you used to tell me to say to Penny after one of her terrible plays.
Penny Hofstadter : [hitting him] Hey!
Leonard Hofstadter : Hey!
Amy Farrah Fowler : Well, what was wrong with it? You know, did you find it... borderline psychotic? I mean, I liked that about it, but... you guys discuss.
