The Big Bang Theory 3x02

The Jiminy Conjecture

Season 3, Episode 2

* Howard: Sheldon, you're wrong. Wolverine was not born with bone claws.
   Sheldon: Howard, you know me to be a very smart man. Don't you think if I were wrong, I'd know it?


* Leonard: The sex was... just fine.
   Raj: Just fine? Oh, dude, the fourth Harry Potter movie was "just fine."


* Leonard: I'm not saying it was bad. I'm just saying it... wasn't great. I'm just saying it... wasn't great.
   Howard: Okay, when you say "it wasn't great," do you mean for both of you? Because we can totally see it not being great for her.


* Penny: Want a glass of wine?
   Leonard: So much. {...}
   Penny: See, we should've do this last night. You know, have a little wine, take the edge off.
   Leonard: Actually, ethyl alcohol inhibits electrical conduction in the nerve cells and stimulates reuptake receptors of inhibitory neurotramitters like gamma-aminobutyric acid.
   Penny: Don't talk, just drink.


* Howard: No, you're misunderstanding. A shiksa goddess isn't an actual goddess. And we don't pray to them. We prey on them.
   Raj: Whatever, dude. The point is, Leonard's got one and you don't.

* Sheldon: There is no way to determine the species of the cricket without examining it.
   Raj: I wonder what the non-thetic people are doing tonight.


* Sheldon: Penny, I'd rather not talk about it.
   Penny: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm not feeling so hot either.
   Sheldon: Why would that make me feel better?
   Penny: I don't know... empathy? Anyway, I'm just saying, that you're feeling upset about something with Howard, and I'm upset about something with Leonard.
   Sheldon: Yes, yes, the disappointing sex. That's an inexact parallel. You and Leonard can always return to being friends, whereas I can never return to a state in which Wolowitz has not bested me like Mrs. Riley's chicken.
   Penny: What's Mrs. Riley's chicken?
   Sheldon: A chicken that was owned by Mrs. Riley.
   Penny: Okay, forget the chicken.
   Sheldon: Well, I wish I could.


* Leonard: What's going on?
   Sheldon: Oh, you'd like to catch up on the events of the day. All right. Well, there was a half-hour wait at the bank to get into my safe posit box. Then I was forced to talk to Penny about your sexual problems, and, oh, yes, in a moment filled with biblical resonance, pride wenteth before my fall, causing my Flash 123 to goeth to Wolowitz...
   Leonard: Wait a minute. You talked to Penny about our sex life?
   Sheldon: Leonard, it astonishes me how you continually fixate on the trivial. I lost a bet to Wolowitz.


* Leonard: You're saying you talked to Penny?
   Sheldon: Ye-Yes.
   Leonard: Interesting.
   Sheldon: Hardly.
