Quotes 

• Sheldon Cooper : How's the final stage of your nicotine addiction study going?

  Amy Farrah Fowler : [as monkeys screech loudly off-screen]  Fine. Just hold on.

  [yells at monkeys] 

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Mommy's on the phone!

  [Back to Sheldon] 

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Sorry. We've cut the monkeys down to one cigarette a day, so things are a little intense. Makes me miss my marijuana-abusing flatworms; those guys were mellow.

• [last lines] 

  Penny : [Penny is performing on stage in A Streetcar Named Desire as Blanche DuBois]  You love her very much, don't you?

  Tom : Yes.

  Penny : I think you have great capacity for devotion. You'll be lonely when she passes on, won't you? I understand what that is.

  Tom : To be lonely?

  Leonard Hofstadter : She's pretty good, huh?

  Sheldon Cooper : She is, but when do they get to the part about streetcars?

  Penny : ...when I was a very young girl. When I was sixteen years old I made the discovery. Love. All at once and much, much too completely. It was like you suddenly turned a blinding light on something that had always been half a shadow. That's how it struck the world for me. But I was unlucky. Deluded.

  Sheldon Cooper : She's remarkable.

  Leonard Hofstadter : She really is.

  Amy Farrah Fowler : Our Penny's a star.

  Sheldon Cooper : How can she remember all those lines, but as a waitress she can't remember "no tomato" on my hamburger?

• Sheldon Cooper : A few people in the comments section have said that my delivery is robotic. Perhaps that isn't the compliment it sounds like.

• Sheldon Cooper : If our friend the flag's taught me anything, it's to go where the wind takes you... as long as you remain firmly attached to a rigid pole.

• Sheldon Cooper : I haven't seen Raj in several days. Is he no longer a part of our social group? And if so, should we be interviewing for a replacement? Perhaps this time we go Latin.

  Howard Wolowitz : Just decided he's never leaving his apartment again.

  Sheldon Cooper : Ah, brilliant! I've been itching to pull that trigger.

• Sheldon Cooper : Hello. I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Welcome to Sheldon Cooper presents 'Fun with Flags'. My apologies that this episode is coming late. I did shoot one last week in honor of Black History Month, but I was informed by my roommate that my spot-on portrayal of George Washington Carver could be considered wildly racist. My heart goes out to the members of the African-American community, who, like me, have been kept down by the Man.

• Penny : Maybe this time you could work on your body language a bit. You know, when you're all hunched like that you're shutting the audience out, but when you're relaxed and open you're inviting them in.

  Sheldon Cooper : Right. And which one do I want?

• Sheldon Cooper : So, Penny, what sort of flag questions keep you awake at night?

  Penny : Um, well, I'm from Nebraska. So what can you tell me about the state flag?

  Sheldon Cooper : Gosh, Penny. What'd you have for breakfast, a big glass of good-question juice?

• Penny : [Opens the door just as Sheldon approaches]  Oh, hi. What's up?

  Sheldon Cooper : [Uneasy]  Um... ..

  Penny : Do you want me to shut the door so you can do your knocking thing?

  Sheldon Cooper : No, I didn't start yet. It's fine

  Penny : Okay. So, whaddaya need?

  Sheldon Cooper : Well, I was thinking about you helping me out last night...

  [knock, knock, knock] 

  Sheldon Cooper : ... Penny. And I just wanted to tell you

  [knock, knock, knock] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Penny, that the answer to the question "who did a great job" is you

  [knock, knock, knock] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Penny.
