The Big Bang Theory 4x8

The 21-Second Excitation*

Season 4, Episode 8

& Penny: You know, I could totally rock a hat like that.
    Sheldon: That's the work of noted Hollywood costume designer Deborah Nadoolman. She also designed the iconic red and black jacket in Michael Jackson's Thriller video, which I've never viewed in its entirety, as I find zombies dancing in choreographed synchronicity implausible*. And also, it's really scary.


& Leonard: Would someone please turn off the Sheldon commentary track?
    Sheldon: There's no switch. Just listen and learn.


& Sheldon: I'm no expert, but I believe what we just heard from Penny was sarcasm... Oh! Good. I'm eight for 26 this month.


& Sheldon: May I point out to you all that the screening is "first come, first served"?
    Leonard: Relax, it's 5:00. The movie doesn't start till midnight.
    Sheldon: Another way of saying that is "the movie starts at midnight, and it's already 5:00." Let's go!


& Sheldon: See? Howard's on my side.
    Howard: Actually, I'm not. I'm using sarcasm to mock you.
    Sheldon: Drat*! Now I'm 8 for 27.


& Sheldon: Amy, don't you agree we should leave now and get in line?
    Amy: Actually, as the newest member of your social group, I believe I'll gain more acceptance by arbitrarily siding with your friends from time to time.
    Sheldon: Shrewd*.
    Amy: Leonard, you're right. We should enjoy our meal, arrive late, and risk winding up with terrible seats, assuming we get in at all.
    Leonard: Thank you, Amy.
    Amy: See? It's working.


& Amy: Girls' night? What does that entail?
    Bernadette: Oh, you know, girls get together, hang out, share girl talk.
    Amy: I'm a girl.
    Bernadette: Oh. Well, maybe you can join us. I'll ask Penny.
    Amy: No need. Penny and I are very close.
    Leonard: You are?
    Amy: Yes. In fact, our menses are synchronized.

& Penny: ... So where should we go tonight? A bar? A club? A movie?
    Bernadette: Or we could just stay here.
    Amy: Yes, and continue to bond. I have a feeling that after tonight, one of you will become my best friend forever. Or "BFF," if you prefer. Which I don't.
    Penny: All right, time to open Bachelor Number Two.


& Bernadette: You know what I really love about Howard?.. His chest hair.
    Penny: Howard has a hairy chest?
    Bernadette: No, just the one. But it's really long.


& Sheldon: Hello. Well, this seems like an odd time to test my cell phone quality, but go on. ... Test phrases? All right. ... Imatote. ... Ulba. ... Twad. ... All together? I'm a total buttwad*. Why are you laughing? ... Hello?..
    Penny: ...And that, girls, is how you make a phony phone call.


& Amy: Penny, truth or dare?
    Penny: Truth.
    Bernadette: Why are you still hanging out with Leonard so much even though you broke up with him?
    Amy: Oh, that's an excellent question. For two people who claim to be no longer pair-bonded, you spend an inordinate amount of time in each other's company.
    Bernadette: Yeah.
    Penny: Dare.
    Amy: I don't believe the rules allow for an ex post facto option change.
    Bernadette: Yeah.
    Penny: Okay, look, just because we're not seeing each other anymore doesn't mean we can't be friends. I mean, Leonard's a great guy.
    Amy: Then, why did you terminate your relationship with him?
    Penny: I don't know. He got really serious, and I wasn't ready for it.
    Amy: Interesting. How will you react if, in the future, you become ready for it, and Leonard is unavailable, because another woman has realized that he is... to use your words... "a great guy"?
    Penny: You can only ask one question.
    Bernadette & Amy: That one.
    Penny: You know what, I don't want to play anymore.
    Amy: Well, I'm not sure how this is scored, but I believe we may have won.


& Leonard: Put the movie back before we get into trouble.
    Sheldon: Trouble is my middle name, Leonard. Actually, it's Lee, but I prefer Trouble.


& He's got the movie! Get him!!
    Sheldon: Why is there never a pontoon plane when you need one?


& Bernadette: She's been in there a long time.
    Amy: Clearly, losing Truth or Dare upset her. Perhaps we should try to take her mind off it with another popular slumber* party activity.
    Bernadette: Ooh, like what?
    Amy: Well, the Internet suggests that slumber party guests often engage in harmless experimentation with lesbianism.
    Bernadette: Where exactly on the Internet have you been looking?


& Amy: Penny?
    Penny: Oh, hey, Amy.
    Amy: Look, I'm sorry I got so upset. I just...
    Penny: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?!
    Amy: Don't worry. I'll avoid the nether ye*.
    Bernadette: I might have gone with eating raw cookie dough.
