Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 8: - The Lizard-Spock Expansion

Howard Wolowitz: We're gonna have to move on to plan B.
Sheldon Cooper: What's plan B?
Howard Wolowitz: Take all the hard drives, erase the surveilance tapes, wipe our fingerprints off everything and run.
Sheldon Cooper: Why wasn't that plan A?

Season 2 / Episode 8: - The Lizard-Spock Expansion

Rajnesh Koothrappali: [Attempting to determine which Sci-fi show to watch the two heroes expand the rock-paper-scissors game] I'll tell you what. How about we go rock-paper-scissors?
Sheldon Cooper: Ooh, I don't think so. Anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.
Rajnesh Koothrappali: What?
Sheldon Cooper: It's very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

TRIVIA

The game of "Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock" was invented by a software engineer named Sam Kass, who outlined the rules and hand gestures on his website in 1998. He, however, called it "Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard".
