Sheldon Cooper : Now listen, one of the great minds of the 21st Century is about to play host to one of the other great minds of the 21st Century. So pay attention; years from now my biographer might ask you about this event.
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, I have so many things to tell your biographer.

Penny : You know what? It's, it's none of my business. If you want to sleep with Sheldon's doctor buddy right after we stopped seeing each other, go for it.
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, now...
Sheldon Cooper : Excuse me. I'm uncomfortable with you recommending that Leonard pursue having intercourse with Dr. Plimpton, who I assure you has better things to do.
Penny : I'm not recommending it. I'm saying it already happened.
Sheldon Cooper : That's preposterous. Tell her, Leonard.
Leonard Hofstadter : Well.
Sheldon Cooper : No.
Leonard Hofstadter : Come on. It wasn't my fault.
Sheldon Cooper : The implication being that you somehow tripped and fell into her lady parts?
Penny : You know what? I'm just gonna take the bus to work.
Leonard Hofstadter : Penny, I can still drive you.
Penny : Oh, no, no, it's okay. You might slip on a banana peel and get me pregnant.

Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Oh, good, Leonard's here.
Raj Koothrappali : [astounded] Good?
Leonard Hofstadter : Elizabeth, what's going on?
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : What's going on is you and Howard are my moving men, and Raj is my new landlord, and I don't have enough money to pay any of you.
Leonard Hofstadter : Is she suggesting what I think she's suggesting?
Howard Wolowitz : Yep. Welcome to the Penthouse Forum!
Raj Koothrappali : OK, Show of hands, who's up for this?
[Only Howard raises his hand]
Leonard Hofstadter : We'll all be in naked in front of each other.
Howard Wolowitz : I'm out.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Are you having trouble sleeping? Because... boy... I was up all night.
Raj Koothrappali : Did you get a cold, too?
Leonard Hofstadter : No, but I was awake all night.
Howard Wolowitz : If you want I can give you some of my mom's sleeping pills.
Raj Koothrappali : She won't notice them missing?
Howard Wolowitz : She doesn't know she takes them.

[last lines]
Leonard Hofstadter : Listen, I've been meaning to talk to you about the other morning.
Penny : You mean you and Doctor Slut-bunny?
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, I wanted to explain.
Penny : You don't owe me an explanation.
Leonard Hofstadter : I don't?
Penny : No, you don't.
Leonard Hofstadter : So, you're not judging me?
Penny : Oh, I'm judging you nine ways to Sunday, but you don't owe me an explanation.
Leonard Hofstadter : Nevertheless, I'd like to get one on the record so you can understand why I did what I did.
Penny : I'm listening.
Leonard Hofstadter : [very long pause] She let me.

Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Would you be a dear and get me a cup of coffee?
Leonard Hofstadter : Sure, black, right?
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : [turns and looks at Raj] Actually, now I think I want it hot, brown, and sweet.
[Raj takes a swig from his flask]

[Elizabeth knocks on door]
Leonard Hofstadter : Yes?
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : I saw your light on.
Leonard Hofstadter : Is everything all right?
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Yeah, I just couldn't sleep.
Leonard Hofstadter : Me neither. Look what I'm reading.
[Points to her picture on the back of the book]
Leonard Hofstadter : It's you.
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : I thought you already read it.
Leonard Hofstadter : I did. But it's been a while, and I wanted to sound smart over breakfast.
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Aw, you're smart!
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, good. I wasn't sure it was coming across.
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : What chapter are you on?
Leonard Hofstadter : Uh, six.
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Ah. The extragalactic distance ladder. Want to know a little secret?
Leonard Hofstadter : Sure.
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : I wrote the section on the Wilson-Bappu Effect completely naked.
Leonard Hofstadter : Really? Sure doesn't read that way.
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Here, let me show you.
[Removes her robe as she speaks revealing she is naked]
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : When we consider the brightness of pulsating variable stars we start to see a possible explanation for some of the discrepancies found in Hubble's constant.
Leonard Hofstadter : Wow. You really make science come alive.
-
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : Thank you so much for opening up your home to me.
Leonard Hofstadter : Uh, well, who wants to stay in a hotel, with windows that don't open, those crazy card-shaped keys?
Dr. Elizabeth Plimpton : I'm so glad you understand.
Sheldon Cooper : No, he doesn't understand; *I* understand.
Leonard Hofstadter : Well, I understand too.
Sheldon Cooper : You're just misappropriating my understanding.
-
Sheldon Cooper : Leonard, I have something for you. Per our roommate agreement this is your twenty-four hour notice that I will be having a non-related female spending two nights in our apartment.
Leonard Hofstadter : When you say "non-related female", you still mean human, right?
Sheldon Cooper : Of course. Pets are banned under the roommate agreement, with the exception of service animals, such as seeing eye dogs and one day cybernetically enhanced helper monkeys.
-
Howard Wolowitz : [Raj takes a swig from his flask] What are you doing?
Raj Koothrappali : Relax, it's Nyquil.
Leonard Hofstadter : You still have a cold?
Raj Koothrappali : Maybe, but I don't care. The good thing about Nyquil, it's like 10% booze. I call it the nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, so you can talk to girls medicine.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Why is a world-renowned scientist staying in our apartment instead of a hotel?
Sheldon Cooper : She doesn't care for hotels. And who can blame her? Windows that don't open, multi-user linens, keys shaped like credit cards, as if one walks around with unassigned slots in one's wallet.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Why didn't you tell me you knew Elizabeth Plimpton. I am a huge fan of hers.
Sheldon Cooper : I didn't realize I was obligated to share my connection with things you are a fan of. But, very well. You enjoy Canadian bacon. I've been to Toronto.

Raj Koothrappali : [sneezes as he reaches the lunch table]
Sheldon Cooper : [stops Raj from sitting down] Hold!
Raj Koothrappali : What?
Sheldon Cooper : Explain your sneeze.
Raj Koothrappali : I'm sorry?
Sheldon Cooper : Do you have allergies?
Raj Koothrappali : No
Sheldon Cooper : Is there too much pepper on your salad?
Raj Koothrappali : I don't put pepper on salad.
Sheldon Cooper : I heard enough.
[Motions to the table behind him]
Sheldon Cooper : Sit over there.
Raj Koothrappali : Come on, I don't want to sit by myself.
Sheldon Cooper : That's what Typhoid Mary said and clearly, her friends buckled.
Raj Koothrappali : [to Leonard and Howard] Guys, help me.
Howard Wolowitz : Sheldon, come on.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah, it's just one sneeze.
[Raj sneezes again]
Leonard Hofstadter : You're on your own.
Howard Wolowitz : See you, buddy.
