The Big Bang Theory 2x13

The Friendship Algorithm

Season 2, Episode 13

* Leonard: There you go. Now any e-mail from Wolowitz will go right into your spam folder.
   Penny: Thanks! I mean the e-mail doesn't bother me as much as the vacation pictures of him in a bathing suit.
   Leonard: Yeah, I got the same one. And that's not a bathing suit, it's a tan line.


* Penny: Well, how did you guys become friends?
   Leonard: There was a fire on the bulletin board at the university. Roommate wanted. Whistlers need not apply.
   Penny: And you moved in anyway?
   Leonard: I assumed he was joking. You'd be surprised how many particle physicists have a whimsical side.
   Penny: Oh what about Howard and Raj you mean? How did you become friends with them?
   Leonard: I don't know... How do carbon atoms form a benzene ring? Proximity and valence electrons.

* Leonard: What I'm trying to say is that, maybe you can't approach this as a purely intellectual exercise.
   Sheldon: What do you mean!?
   Leonard: Well, remember when you tried to learn how to swim using the internet?
   Sheldon: I did learn how to swim.
   Leonard: On the floor.
   Sheldon: The skills are transferrable. I just have no interest in going in the water.
   Leonard: Then why learn how to swim?
   Sheldon: The ice caps are melting Leonard. In the future, swimming isn't going to be optional.

* Kripke: You alright there, Cooper?
   Sheldon: Not really. I feel somewhat like an inverse tangent function that's approaching an asymptote.
   Kripke: Are you saying you're stuck?
   Sheldon: What part of an inverse tangent function approaching an asymptote did you not understand?

whimsical — причудливый; эксцентричный
