- Howard Wolowitz: It's not like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, right? Some bald guy with horns isn't gonna rip out my heart?
- Raj Koothrappali: Dude, that movie is an imperialist fantasy that makes the followers of a beautiful and peaceful religion look like a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians.
- Howard Wolowitz: You love that movie.
- Raj Koothrappali: Yeah, it's pretty great!
- Sheldon Cooper: You know what you could make us do? Ice skating. The cold air will trigger Leonard's asthma, and it plays into my well-known fear of getting flattened by a Zamboni.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Now you're helping them find ways to make us miserable?
- Sheldon Cooper: I'm sorry, Leonard. I'm a problem solver, it's what I do.
- Amy Farrah Fowler: I can't go ice skating. I have unnaturally brittle ankles.
- Penny: Is there any part of you that's normal?
- [Amy gives Penny a mischievous smile]
- Sheldon Cooper: Well, there were plenty of things to do before smart phones.
- Leonard Hofstadter: That's true
- Sheldon Cooper: I'll look them up.
- [Pulls out phone before realizing]
- Sheldon Cooper: Son of a biscuit!
- Leonard Hofstadter: Just let it go.
- Sheldon Cooper: What king of store doesn't have wifi? I'm calling their corporate offices - Son of a biscuit!
- Penny: We could go horseback riding.
- Amy Farrah Fowler: Oh, I can't. My hips can't open any wider than 22 degrees. Once I rode a very thin pony. First jump, popped right off.
- Leonard Hofstadter: [sitting on the department store while the girls shop] This isn't so bad.
- Sheldon Cooper: Easy for you to say. You' chair isn't facing the lingerie section. Boy that's a lot of panties!
- Howard Wolowitz: [after arriving at a Hindu temple for Howard's first time] Is there anything I should know before I go in?
- Raj Koothrappali: Like what?
- Howard Wolowitz: Like... am I dressed OK?
- Raj Koothrappali: Really? So every other place you've been you thought this was fine?
- Leonard Hofstadter: Interesting. You accuse us of making you do things you don't like, but here you are doing the same thing to poor Amy.
- Sheldon Cooper: You should point out the hypocrisy of that.
- Leonard Hofstadter: I was.
- Sheldon Cooper: Then you should have made it clearer. Maybe throw in a "How do you like them apples, Missy?"
- Howard Wolowitz: You believe the way to understanding the universe is based on facts and evidence, here you are counting on some blue chick with a hundred arms to help you out
- Raj Koothrappali: That is so offensive, does everything you know about Hinduism come from Indiana Jones?
- Howard Wolowitz: No, also Apu from the Simpsons
- Raj Koothrappali: Whenever I walk into that temple, I realize that whatever happens, it's okay. We're all part of an immense pattern, and though we can't understand it, we can be happy to know that it's working its will through us. Whatever you call it God or the universe or the self, we're all interconnected and that's just beautiful.
- Leonard Hofstadter: Compromise is me driving you everywhere because you don't want to learn how to
- Sheldon Cooper: I learnt how to, Amy taught me
- Leonard Hofstadter: Then why won't you do it?
- Sheldon Cooper: Well, it's scary, and sometimes I get the pedals mixed up. But more importantly, driving me to work is one of the things that gives your life purpose. I can't take that away from you, so what do I do?... Oh, come on, I'm practically feeding you the answer. I compromise.
- Leonard Hofstadter: You make compromises?
- Sheldon Cooper: All the time
- Leonard Hofstadter: On Earth? In our lives? That we're living?
- Penny: [to Amy] There has to be something fun we can do the guys will hate
- Leonard Hofstadter: Hang on, why do we have to hate it?
- Penny: Three words, Dr Who Convention
- Leonard Hofstadter: I did not force you to go to that.
- Penny: You walked out of the house in a fez and bow tie, I went so you didn't get beat up
- Leonard Hofstadter: I wasn't going to get beat up
- Penny: You were, somehow I held myself back
- Raj Koothrappali: I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: I told you not to wax down there. It's itchy when it grows back
- Leonard Hofstadter: Because of you, I'm not allowed to adjust the temperature in my own home. I'm not allowed to whistle. I don't wear shoes that might squeak.
- Sheldon Cooper: Well, you're a physicist, not a circus clown.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski: All I have is our new urine-flow drug. It won't help with his anxiety, but it's so strong, when he pees, he'll fly around the room like he's got a jetpack.
