### The Matrimonial Momentum [9.01]

    Penny: So what package were you thinking?
    Leonard: Well this one comes with music and flowers. Oh, and they even stream the whole thing live on the internet.
    Penny: Why would we want that?
    Leonard: Cause there's a lot of gorgeous blondes out there who don't believe they can land a short, near-sighted scientist? Let's give them hope.
    Penny: Whatever. Put us on the internet. I've always wanted a wedding with a comments section.
    Mary: Don't send it back yet. Your sister's married and I'm not letting your brother give my grandmother's ring to that whore he's dating.
    Sheldon: Wasn't Mary Magdalene a woman of ill repute?
    Mary: When your idiot brother redeems mankind he can date whoever he wants.

### The Separation Oscillation [9.02]

    Sheldon: The show must go on, and thankfully all the things my girlfriend used to do can be taken care of with my right hand.
    Howard: Why are marine biologists always so cute?
    Raj: I don't know, but I'd like to get lost in her Bermuda Triangle.
    Leonard: That's not helpful.
    Howard: Then I won't say I'd like to cover three quarters of her surface area.
    Leonard: Are you done?
    Raj: Not yet, this is fun! Ooh, I know... I'd let her free my Willy.
    [Leonard gets up]
    Raj: Where are you going?
    Leonard: Going to ask her if she'd be willing to talk to Penny. Tell her she has nothing to worry about.
    Howard: Leonard wait.
    Leonard: What?
    Howard: I'd like to spongebob her squarepants.
    Raj: Now we are done.

### The Bachelor Party Corrosion [9.03]

    Howard: I bet he picked up a lot of cute grad students in this bad boy.
    Sheldon: And talked about physics with them!
    [The boys are performing percussive shock to the tune of “We Will Rock You.]
    Howard: [Singing in the tune of “We Will Rock You”] We will, we will percussive shock you! [Leonard and Raj join in for the second chorus.] We will, we will percussive shock you!
    [Sheldon begins singing the verse to “We Will Rock You” in falsetto while Leonard, Howard, and Raj watch in bewilderment.]
    Sheldon: I have an eidetic memory; sometimes it can be a curse.

### The 2003 Approximation [9.04]

    Sheldon: Blue Icees and a trip to the container store? It's like I died and went to the postmortem neuron induced hallucination commonly mistaken as heaven.
    Leonard: I still don't understand why you bought that pill caddy, you're a young man.
    Sheldon: Age is a state of mind, Leonard. In here, I'm 90.
    Sheldon: I was like the Tin Man, perfectly content until that evil wizard gave him a heart.
    Amy: I don't think that was the point of the movie.
    Sheldon: Fine! I was like Pinocchio who that jerk Geppetto went and made him a real boy.
    Amy: There you go.

### The Perspiration Implementation [9.05]

    Barry: Gentlemen, welcome to the fencing club. Before we start, I just want to warn you, fencing isn't a joke. I hope you're not here because you think it's going to be like Star Wars.
    Leonard: That's not why we're here.
    Raj: Yeah, I'm here because I think it's gonna be like Game of Thrones.
    Howard: And maybe a little Princess Bride.
    Raj: Ooh, ooh! I forgot about Princess Bride! That's my answer!
    Sheldon: Excuse me, Barry?
    Barry: Yes?
    Sheldon: When can I stab one of my friends?
    Barry: In fencing, we don't call it a stab. We call it a touch.
    Sheldon: Uh, yes, I'm aware. But if I say I want to touch one of my friends, I'll get called into Human Resources.

### The Helium Insufficiency [9.06]

    Barry: Be honest, if the shoe was on the other foot, would you do this for me?
    Leonard: Yes.
    Sheldon: No chance.
    Leonard: What are you doing?
    Sheldon: He said be honest, so I was honest. Didn't your mother tell you? It's the best policy.
    Howard: What was wrong with that guy?
    Raj: Um, he's Indian. We've already got one of those.

### The Spock Resonance [9.07]

    Wil Wheaton: Hey Sheldon. This is Adam Nimoy.
    Adam Nimoy: Nice to meet you.
    Sheldon: Oh, it's nice to meet you. I admire your father's work very much. It's not every day I get to meet someone whose life journey began in my hero's scrotum.
    Wil Wheaton: [quietly aside to Adam Nimoy] I told you this guy is gold.
    [Sheldon is showing the valuables he keeps in his lock box]
    Sheldon: [bringing out each item] My passport. My Wil.
    Leonard: You have a will?
    Sheldon: Yeah, my one-eighteenth scale Wil Wheaton action figure. Yeah, I also have the other kind of will, and in it, I will my Wil back to Wil.
    Leonard: Will Wil want it?
    Wil Wheaton: Wil won't.

### The Mystery Date Observation [9.08]

    Amy: Some people think the sexiest organ is the brain.
    Penny: No one ever bought me drinks at a bar because my brain just popped out of my shirt.
    Amy: If you don't mind me asking, why did you and your wife split up?
    Dave: Oh, you know how it is. We wanted different things. I wanted children, and she wanted a pastry chef named Jean-Philippe.
    Amy: Oh, I'm, I'm so sorry.
    Dave: Ah, that's fine. That's why I left England. It reminded me too much of her - cold, gloomy and easily accessed by a Frenchman through a tunnel.

### The Platonic Permutation [9.09]

    Sheldon: If there were a list of things that make me more comfortable, a list would be at the top of that list.
    Sheldon: I excel at many things, but getting over you isn't one of them. It's best we stay friends.

### The Earworm Reverberation [9.10]

    [Sheldon and Leonard are working on calculations. Sheldon hums the beginning of Darlin']
    Leonard: Since when do you hum songs?
    Sheldon: What are you talking about?
    Leonard: You were just humming.
    Sheldon: Are you sure? Sometimes when my brain really gets moving it makes noise.
    Leonard: How does your brain feel about calculating the surface tension of the domain walls?
    Sheldon: Let's see... [starts humming again] Hey! I was humming. One point for Hufflepuff.
    Bernadette: He spent an entire date talking about how much he loves Sheldon.
    Amy: It's nothing Sheldon hasn't done before.

### The Opening Night Excitation [9.11]

    [Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are trying to buy tickets for the opening night of Star Wars]
    Sheldon: The website's frozen. I can't get in.
    Leonard: Same here.
    Raj: Guys, they're going to sell out!
    Howard: What are we gonna do?
    Sheldon: Alright. This goes against everything I stand for, but desperate times call for desperate measures. [Kneels on the floor in a prayer stance] Lord, this is Sheldon Cooper. You're good friends with my mom. I know I've spent my life denying that you exist...
    Howard: Got them!
    Sheldon: ...and I will continue to do so!
    Amy: I'm just... really nervous.
    Sheldon: Why?
    Amy: I've been waiting for this for so long. I've just built it up in my head. I don't know what to expect.
    Sheldon: Neither do I. But... we can find out together.

### The Sales Call Sublimation [9.12]

    Sheldon: Good news gentlemen! Amy's at a conference this weekend, which means I'm available to be entertained. As today's youth might put it, who wants to get their Sheld-on?
    Howard: Bernie and I are getting the house ready for the remodel. We could always use an extra pair of hands.
    Sheldon: Yeah, that sounds awful. Raj?
    Raj: I've got time booked in the telescope room all weekend, scanning for rogue planets. You're more than welcome to join me.
    Sheldon: That's the one to beat! Leonard?
    Leonard: Oh, if anything, I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.
    Sheldon: Well then, it looks like we have a winner. Congratulations.
    Raj: Well, I should warn you, it's just looking at data for hours and hours on a computer screen.
    Sheldon: Stop selling it kid, you won.
    Howard: Too busy to call? He wasn't too busy to binge-watch Hot in Cleveland with my Hulu password!

### The Empathy Optimization [9.13]

    Penny: Hey, so I saw a movie trailer the other day, How could Batman possibly fight Superman? Isn't that dumb!
    Bernadette: Maybe he uses kryptonite.
    Emily: Well, Batman's got a lot of money; maybe he builds a suit that can do everything Superman can do.
    Penny: No, no, no, no, no, I've seen that movie. It's called Iron Man.
    [the guys are stupefied]
    Leonard: What is happening?
    Howard: I don't know.
    Raj: But it's beautiful.
    Penny: How's Ben Affleck as Batman?
    Emily: Oh, he was great in Shakespeare in Love.
    Penny: Ooh, we should watch that next girls' night.
    Bernadette: We could do a double feature with the Leonardo DiCaprio Romeo and Juliet.
    Penny: Oh, I love me some Leo.
    Leonard: And it's gone.
    Amy: Hi Sheldon, what's new?
    Sheldon: My friends are jerks and I'm mad at all of them.
    Amy: I said "what's new," but sure...

### The Meemaw Materialization [9.14]

    Penny: You know, the last time I got a handwritten letter was from someone who told me I parked like a blind person.
    Leonard: That someone has a name.
    Sheldon: Thank you.
    Meemaw: No wine for me. Sheldon's bringing me my whiskey.
    Sheldon: There you go, Meemaw. I made it just how you like it. A lot, in a glass.

### The Valentino Submergence [9.15]

    Raj: You say it like it's easy! Has any one of you ever broken up with anyone?
    Howard: No.
    Leonard: Not really.
    Sheldon: You know, once I ordered an Uber by accident, and I just got in and went somewhere.
    Howard: Should we name him?
    Bernadette: It is Valentine's Day. How about Valentino?
    Howard: Nice. A classic rabbit name. Peter Rabbit, Roger Rabbit. Valentino Wolowitz Rabbit. Oh, look at all that chest hair and overbite. Of course you're a Wolowitz.

### The Positive Negative Reaction [9.16]

    Leonard: What's going on?
    Howard: I'm going to be a father.
    Leonard: Congratulations!
    Sheldon: Oh no!
    Leonard: Why "Oh no"?
    Sheldon: Because this changes everything! You know, what about comic book night? What about playing games together? What about our trips to Disneyland? How can we do those things with a child around?
    Leonard: Relax, there's room for two babies in this group.
    Sheldon: O dear luck, Penny's pregnant too?
    Leonard: You're the other baby!
    Sheldon: Oh really? Well, would a baby have to shave once every eleven days?
    Leonard: Would an adult refuse to eat his Graham crackers because one of them was broken?
    Sheldon: I guess we'll call this a draw.
    Howard: Okay, how about this for an invention? Slightly bigger cocktail umbrellas?
    Leonard: How is that a new invention?
    Howard: I don't know. All Apple does is change the size of things and we keep buying them.

### The Celebration Experimentation [9.17]

    Howard: Really? You're ahead of Bale? The man who personified the words, "I'm Batman"?
    Adam West: I never had to say I'm Batman. I showed up. People knew I was Batman. Everywhere I went. On the TV show, mall openings, Julie Newmar's bungalow.
    Leonard: I'm sold- you're ahead of Bale.
    Adam West: There's another reason I should be higher on the list. All those other guys had muscles built into their costumes. All I had in my Batsuit was 100%, grade-A West.
    Penny: All right, what about music?
    Sheldon: I enjoy marching bands and Tibetan throat music.
    Penny: No music it is.

### The Application Deterioration [9.18]

    [Howard, Leonard and Sheldon are waiting at the patenting office]
    Howard: Okay, I've got to ask, why are you wearing a bow-tie?
    Sheldon: I've never applied for a patent before. I wanted to make a good impression.
    Howard: Is the impression that your first name is Peewee?
    [Leonard laughs]
    Sheldon: Yeah, well you're an engineer. End of joke. Burn!
    Penny: Hang on, what if Sheldon had no choice but to be respectful?
    Leonard: Is there a switch on the back of his neck we don't know about?

### The Solder Excursion Diversion [9.19]

    Leonard: Soup, sandwiches, and emasculation. Just like my mom used to make.
    Penny: Oh, they went to the store to get solder. Which is metal you melt to make science things.

### The Big Bear Precipitation [9.20]

    Penny: That's not what the forest smells like.
    Sheldon: Well how would I know?
    Sheldon: We'll never win. You always play the drinking game.

### The Viewing Party Combustion [9.21]

    Sheldon: A party sub implies it's a party.
    Leonard: Your attendance implies that it's not.
    Sheldon: I like a party as much as the next man. As long as the next man doesn't like a party.
    Leonard: If Sheldon’s testosterone dipped he’d become a butterfly.

### The Fermentation Bifurcation [9.22]

    [The guys are telling Zack about their prototype navigation system.]
    Howard: You can put it in a satellite or a rocket and it'll run forever.
    Zack: Cool. Could it be used for missiles and war stuff?
    Howard: Yee-ah. But we didn't create it for weapons.
    Leonard: And I doubt that the military would be interested in our little guidance system.
    Zack: Is it better than the one they use now?
    Leonard and Howard: [together] "Way more." "A lotǃ"
    Zack: Huh. You sure you guys are smart?
    Sheldon: Leonard, friends are like toilet paper. It's good to have extras under the sink.

### The Line Substitution Solution [9.23]

    Sheldon: You know the golden rule of line etiquette. No cuts, no butts, no coconuts.
    Raj: Boy, all this standing is making me tired. Good thing I brought my collapsible stick-chair!
    Howard: Stick-chair? You look like an idiot on that thing.
    Raj: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chairs on sticks are comfy.

### The Convergence Convergence [9.24]

    Beverly: How dare you invite your father without consulting me.
    Leonard: Sorry but I don't think I need your permission to have my father at my wedding.
    Beverly: You do understand that our marriage ended because he had an affair.
    Leonard: I know and there is no excuse for that.
    Beverly: He claimed I was cold, emasculating, and hadn't shown him any physical affection for years.
    Leonard: [To himself] I was wrong, there are three excuses for that.
    Mary: So Alfred, what is it that you do for a living?
    Alfred Hofstadter: Oh, I'm an anthropologist. I study ancient peoples and cultures.
    Mary: My goodness, so all the way back to the Flood.
    [Alfred laughs]
    Sheldon: Don't laugh. She wasn't joking.
    Amy: Play with your phone.
    Alfred: Well, on that note there are many cultures that have an apocalyptic flood as a part of their mythology.
    Mary: I don't have a mythology. I have the unerring Word of God. But that's very interesting.
    Alfred: Oh. I don't mean to disparage your faith. Actually I admire it.
    Mary: Really?
    Alfred: Yes, I'm an agnostic myself, but I prayed, many times, to God to turn my wife into a pillar of salt.
    Mary: Well, he came close. Turned her into a giant block of ice.
