The Big Bang Theory 4x9

The Boyfriend Complexity

Season 4, Episode 9

& Sheldon: Hello. ... Yes, the elevator's out of order, you'll have to use the stairs. ... Of course you can. Pizza dates back to the 16th century, while the first elevator was not installed until 1852. That means that for over 300 years, people carried pizzas up stairs. Be part of that proud tradition.
    Leonard: I'll go get Penny while that guy spits on our food.


& Leonard: Oh, um, is Penny here?
    Penny's Dad: You're Leonard, right?
    Leonard: Yeah.
    Penny's Dad: Damn, it's good to finally meet you, son.
    Leonard: Okay, I think a bit of context here might help.
    Penny: Oh, hey, Leonard. I see you met my dad.
    Leonard: Oh, good. Context.


& Sheldon: Are you sure you have enough comics? You're going to be monitoring the telescope for 12 hours, and by my estimate, you've only selected seven hours of reading material. That's even factoring in your difficulty in parsing American comic book idioms like "Bamf!" and "Snikt!"
    Raj: Is that racist? It feels racist.
    Howard: Don't be oversensitive. He's calling you illiterate, not your race.
    Raj: Oh, okay. Good.


& Leonard: She introduced me to her father, kissed me and then shut the door in my face.
    Howard: Maybe she was trying to send you a message.
    Leonard: You think?
    Howard: Yeah. "This man is not my father. I'm being held hostage. So I'm going to do something insane in the hopes that you'll call 911."
Penny kissing me is not insane. She used to kiss me all the time.
    Sheldon: Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." By that standard, Penny is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs*.


& Leonard: Why do I bother talking to you people?
    Sheldon: If it'll make you feel better, we rarely listen.

& Penny: I told him we worked things out.
    Leonard: Really? How... how'd we manage that?
    Penny: What?
    Leonard: I mean, did you apologize? Did you have to woo* me?
    Penny: Get over* yourself. I whistled, you came running.


& Howard: C-7.
    Raj: Miss.
    Howard: How could that be a miss? C-6 was a hit, C-8 was a hit. Part of your starship has to be on C-7.
    Raj: Not if it has a hole in the middle.
    Howard: What kind of spaceship has a hole in the middle?!
    Raj: A Romulan Battle Bagel*?


& Howard 2 Bernadette: You'd better open up that bottle of wine or I'm gonna end up with swimmer's ear.
    Raj: Excuse me. I can't be drinking, I'm about to make an important scientific discovery here.
    Howard: What?! Galileo did his best work while drinking wine.
    Raj: How do you know that?
    Howard: Well, he was Italian... It's a reasonable assumption.
    Raj: Dude, can you even open your mouth without spewing a cultural stereotype?
    Howard: Oh, I... I'm sorry, Galileo drank Diet Sprite.


& Howard: Look, you're my best friend, she's my girlfriend, you should bond. You know, like you and my mom did.
    Raj: Your mom creeps the hell out of me.
    Howard: Yes, but she's stopped calling you Slumdog Millionaire.
    Raj: I do appreciate that.


& Leonard: Maybe I could go in a little late.
    Penny: No, no, no, you can't. Your career is far too important.
    Penny's Dad: Behind every great man is a nagging* woman who won't let him have any fun, am I right, Leonard?
    Leonard: Don't I know it.


& Leonard: I love you.
    Penny: "Love" you, too.
    Sheldon: Oh, friggety-frak. Not this again.


& Sheldon: Leonard, Penny, excellent. I'd like to say I'm very happy that you're back together, and if I can figure out a way to do so and sound sincere, I will. In the meantime, I'd like to go over some proposed changes to the roommate agreement specifically to address Penny's annoying personal habits.
    Penny: Oh, my God! What personal habits?
    Sheldon: I have a list. FYI, overuse of the phrase "Oh, my God" is number 12.


& Bernadette: Well, this was fun.


& Penny's Dad: Now I'm going to do something here to help you along.
    Leonard: Excuse me?
    Penny's Dad: Just don't panic. Now, get your sorry, lying ass out of my face and make sure I never see it again!
    Leonard: Oh, the reverse psychology thing. I see. That's very clever.
    Penny's Dad: Don't yap*. Just get out.
    Leonard: I'll friend you on Facebook.


& Sheldon: Oh, there you are. Just so you know, I was up all night, but I have finally completed the Penny-specific section of the new roommate agreement.
    Leonard: Yeah, well, not necessary. We broke up again.
    Sheldon: Do you even think about other people, Leonard? Do you?!


& Leonard: You get to play with Raj's big telescope last night?
    Howard: ... Whoa!! Where did that come from?!
    Raj: He never touched my telescope!!!
    Howard: Way to go shutting up.
    Raj: I did shut up. Now you shut up!
