Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, where you been?

  Sheldon Cooper : I'll tell you where I've been. You boys may have had gelato with Stan Lee and gotten autographed comics, but I saw the inside of his house and got an autographed application for a restraining order.

  Howard Wolowitz : [sarcastically]  Sweet.

  Sheldon Cooper : Plus, I get to hang out with him again... at the hearing. This is going to look great, hanging next to my restraining order from Leonard Nimoy.

• Howard Wolowitz : [to Sheldon]  Stan Lee or you in court. Uh, if this was Sophie's Choice, it would have been a much shorter movie.

• Leonard Hofstadter : It's not that big a deal. You just go down to the court on Thursday and you pay the fine.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm not gonna pay a fine! That would imply I'm guilty!

  Howard Wolowitz : You *are* guilty.

  [Raj presses a button and his remote-controlled shirt plays the 'Law & Order' "thunk thunk" sound; Raj, Howard and Leonard snicker with laughter] 

  Howard Wolowitz : That one I liked.

• [first lines] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : [Raj enters the comic book store, then presses a button and the Imperial March from Star Wars starts blaring out of speakers in the middle of his shirt and he struts in like he's Darth Vader]  Will you please turn your shirt off?

  Raj Koothrappali : What? I'm giving myself dramatic entrance music. People will know I'm awesome and to be feared.

  Howard Wolowitz : Right. There's nothing more awesome and frightening than a man who's got music blasting from between his nipples.

• Howard Wolowitz : Sheldon, why do you have all these unopened paychecks in your desk?

  Sheldon Cooper : Because most of the things I'm planning to buy haven't been invented yet.

  Howard Wolowitz : There, there must be thousands of dollars here! Why don't you put it in the bank?

  Sheldon Cooper : I don't trust banks. I believe when the robots rise up, ATMs will lead the charge.

• Howard Wolowitz : Ouch! Ew, paper cut. Nothing worse than a paper cut.

  Raj Koothrappali : Obviously you don't remember your circumcision.

• Howard Wolowitz : [after hearing Raj incessantly rattle off character names with same two initials; as he does so]  Okay, that's it. I'm cutting in front of you. I'm not going to talk to Stan Lee after you cheesed him off.

• Howard Wolowitz : [Raj keeps rattling off names, and Howard has had enough]  WILL YOU JUST LET IT GO ALREADY?
