Quote from Penny
Penny: (On the phone) No, Dad. I don't think they cut me out of the show because I was too pretty. No, I don't need you to come out and kick Mark Harmon's ass.
Quote from Sheldon
Leonard: Are you set on people laughing WITH you? Because if you're cool with AT you ...

Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: I don't know about you but I'm very uncomfortable about this.

Amy: Just think of the first 245 as the prequel.
Sheldon: All right.
Quote from Bernadette
Howard: I'm serious. Go to the mall, talk to anybody. Practice. That way when you eventually do talk to a cute girl, it won't be so scary.
Bernadette: Or just keep dating the possum.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: Perhaps I'll spend some time devising a unified theory of comedy, which will allow me to elicit laughter from anybody at any time. Unless they're German, because that's a tough crowd.
Quote from Sheldon
Sheldon: I've been studying how to make people laugh. They say comedy is tragedy plus time. *Looks at his watch and gets up* Let's tickle some ribs!
Quote from Stuart

Howard: Really? I never for a second thought it'd be anything else.
Quote from Leonard
Leonard: I'm so proud of you.
Penny: They haven't even got to my scene yet.
Leonard: I know, but you're going to be a TV star and you haven't left me yet. That takes guts!
Quote from Leonard
Leonard: (on the phone) Yes, how much for 100 long-stem red roses? Really? How much for three?
Quote from Raj
Howard: What's your part?
Penny: I play a customer in a diner and I flirt with Mark Harmon.

Quote from Leonard
Leonard: Hey, can we talk?
Penny: We can, but the part of Penny might get cut.
Quote from Penny
Leonard: Okay, listen to me, this is just a minor setback.
Penny: No, it's not, okay? I've been out here for, like, ten years. I've nothing to show for it.
Leonard: Well, you have me.
Penny: You're right. I do have you. Mm. Let's get married.
Leonard: What?
Penny: Ooh. Leonard Hofstadter, will you marry me?
Leonard: Um…
Penny: Did you seriously just say um?
Leonard: Look, you know I love you but, but you're, you're drunk and sad and feeling lost.
Penny: Okay, so, so you don't want to marry me?
Leonard: That is not what I said.
Penny: No, forget it. I take it back. Offer's off the table.
