Quotes 

  • Raj Koothrappali : [the time machine prop Leonard bought is life-size]  Did the listing actually say "miniature"?

    Leonard Hofstadter : I just assumed. Well, who sells a full-sized time machine for $800?

    Sheldon Cooper : In a Venn diagram, that would be an individual located within the intersection of the sets "No longer want my time machine" and "Need $800".

    Howard Wolowitz : It's actually a tremendous bargain. Even with shipping, it works out to less than $4 a pound.

    Raj Koothrappali : Cocktail shrimp are $12.50.

    Leonard Hofstadter : How are we gonna get it upstairs?

    Howard Wolowitz : If we take the dish off, it might fit in the elevator.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Yes, but the elevator's been broken for two years.

    Sheldon Cooper : I've been meaning to ask you: do you think we should make a call about that?

    Howard Wolowitz : Not necessary. I have a master's in engineering. I remotely repair satellites on a regular basis. I troubleshoot space shuttle payloads.

    [Howard walks over to the elevator] 

    Howard Wolowitz : When the Mars Rover started pulling to the left, I performed a front-end alignment from 62 million miles away.

    [Howard presses the elevator call button, then puts his ear to the elevator doors] 

    Howard Wolowitz : [walking back to the group]  No, that baby's broken.

  • Leonard Hofstadter : [Sheldon, Raj, and Howard are arguing over who can give Leonard the best price for his collection]  Forget it. Guys, if I sell to one of you, the other two are gonna be really mad at me.

    Sheldon Cooper : Who cares, as long as you pick me?

    Raj Koothrappali : Okay, Leonard, put down the box. Let's talk.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Sorry, Raj, my mind is made up.

    Sheldon Cooper : [blocking the stairwell]  No. I can't let you do this.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon, get out of my way.

    Sheldon Cooper : [taking a plastic sword from Leonard's box]  None shall pass.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Okay. I did not want to do this, but I have here the rare, mint-condition production error "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Geordi La Forge without his VISOR, in the original packaging. If you do not get out my way... I will open it.

    Howard Wolowitz : [nervously]  Okay, man, be cool. We're all friends here.

  • Sheldon Cooper : [looking at the time machine prop in the apartment]  I don't know what you were worried about. I think it really works in the room.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah. It is by far the coolest thing I have ever owned.

    Sheldon Cooper : The exact time machine that carried actor Rod Taylor from Victorian England into the post-apocalyptic future, where society had splintered into two factions: the subterranean Morlocks, who survived by feasting on the flesh of the gentle surface-dwelling Eloi.

    Howard Wolowitz : Talk about your chick magnets.

    Raj Koothrappali : Oh, yeah. The guy who lives next to me is always like "I have a jacuzzi on my balcony. I have a jacuzzi on my balcony." But wait until I tell him I've got a time machine on my balcony. Stuff that in your Speedos, Jacuzzi Bob.

    Sheldon Cooper : Gentlemen, I know we said we'd take turns but I think you'll agree that practicality dictates it remain here.

    Howard Wolowitz : You can't just keep it here! What if I meet a girl and say "You wanna come up and see my time machine? It's at my friend's house." How lame is that?

    Raj Koothrappali : He's got a point.

    Sheldon Cooper : All right. I think we're going to need some ground rules. In addition to the expected "no shoes in the time machine" and "no eating in the time machine", I propose that we add "Pants must be worn at all times in the time machine."

    Leonard Hofstadter : Seconded.

    Howard Wolowitz : [sheepishly]  I was gonna put down a towel.

  • Leonard Hofstadter : Anyone wanna buy my share of the time machine?

    Raj Koothrappali : Why?

    Leonard Hofstadter : 'Cause I don't want it anymore.

    Howard Wolowitz : Why?

    Leonard Hofstadter : Just personal reasons.

    Sheldon Cooper : My Spidey sense tells me this has something to do with Penny.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Look, do you wanna buy me out or not?

    Raj Koothrappali : I'll give $100, which will make me half owner, and we'll put it on my balcony.

    Howard Wolowitz : Screw his balcony. I'll give you $120 and we'll put it in my garage.

    Leonard Hofstadter : I paid $200 for my share.

    Raj Koothrappali : Dude, everybody knows a time machine loses half its value the minute you drive it off the lot.

  • Raj Koothrappali : [Leonard is planning to sell his comic book memorabilia]  I call dibs on the "Golden Age Flash".

    Howard Wolowitz : Hang on, I need that to complete my Justice Society of America collection.

    Raj Koothrappali : Too bad, I called dibs.

    Howard Wolowitz : You can't just call dibs.

    Raj Koothrappali : I can and I did. Look up dibs on Wikipedia.

  • [first lines] 

    Sheldon Cooper : Well, this sandwich is an unmitigated disaster. I asked for turkey and roast beef with lettuce and Swiss cheese on whole wheat.

    Raj Koothrappali : What did they give you?

    Sheldon Cooper : Turkey and roast beef with Swiss cheese and lettuce on whole wheat.

    [Raj and Wolowitz just look at Sheldon, dumbfounded] 

    Sheldon Cooper : It's the right ingredients, but in the wrong order. In a proper sandwich, the cheese is adjacent to the bread to create a moisture barrier against the lettuce. They might as well have dragged this thing through a car wash.

    Leonard Hofstadter : [at his computer, not paying attention]  I don't believe it.

    Sheldon Cooper : I know. It's basic culinary science.

  • Raj Koothrappali : I still want it on my balcony. I say we move it on a bimonthly basis.

    Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, that sounds fair.

    Sheldon Cooper : Hold on. "Bimonthly" is an ambiguous term. Do you mean every other month or twice a month?

    Raj Koothrappali : Twice a month.

    Sheldon Cooper : Then no.

    Raj Koothrappali : Okay, every other month.

    Sheldon Cooper : No.

  • Raj Koothrappali : Sheldon?

    Sheldon Cooper : Yeah.

    Raj Koothrappali : If my fingers ever work again, I've got a job for the middle one!

  • Sheldon Cooper : [Leonard has won a bid on a miniature time machine prop from the movie "The Time Machine"]  I wonder why no one else bid. This is a classic piece of sci-fi movie memorabilia.

    Leonard Hofstadter : I know. But, I still can't afford it.

    Howard Wolowitz : Why don't we share it? We'll each put in two hundred bucks and we'll take turns having it in our house.

    Raj Koothrappali : A time share time machine. I'm in. Sheldon?

    Sheldon Cooper : Wha-? Need you ask? I still don't understand why no one else bid.

    Sheldon Cooper : [cut to the lobby of Leonard and Sheldon's apartment building; the prop is life-size]  I understand why no one else bid.
