Episode Quotes

Amy Farrah Fowler: I believe a misunderstanding may have occurred when I asked you to meet my mother.
Sheldon Cooper: No misunderstanding. I'e learned what that request actually means, and I don't want to be joined to another object by an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.
Amy Farrah Fowler: In what way are you screwed?

Leonard Hofstadter: You have a girlfriend? How could you have a girlfriend? You can't even speak to women.
Raj Koothrappali: Uh, two words: deaf chick. It doesn't matter if I can't talk because she can't hear me.
Leonard Hofstadter: What?
Raj Koothrappali: That's what she said.

Raj Koothrappali: You remind me of the funny old story about a man who walks into a women's correctional institution with a stack of paperwork that would allow the female convicts to go free.
Leonard Hofstadter: You're saying I couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a handful of pardons.
