Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Howard Wolowitz : [phone rings, Howard presses speaker-phone]  Howard Wolowitz.

  Dave Roeger : Hey, Howard. Dave Roeger here at NASA. We need to talk about your upcoming mission.

  Howard Wolowitz : Yes, yes! I've been doing my pushups. I'm still stuck at nine, but... that's going all the way down with no-one holding me.

  Dave Roeger : That's great, uh, but that's not why I called. We've run into a bit of a snafu. Your Soyuz capsule failed the pressurization test, so, bottom line, mission's been scrubbed.

  Howard Wolowitz : [picks up handset]  You're kidding. So what does that mean?

  Howard Wolowitz : Uh-huh.

  Howard Wolowitz : Uh-huh.

  Howard Wolowitz : Boy, I gotta tell you I'm really disappointed. This was my dream ever since I was a little kid.

  Howard Wolowitz : Okay, thanks for the call.

  Howard Wolowitz : Yeah, you too.

  [he hangs up] 

  Howard Wolowitz : Yes! thank heavens!

  [laughs hysterically] 

  Howard Wolowitz : I'm not going to die in space! Whoo, now I can die the way God intended; in my late fifties with a heartful of pastrami.
