Howard Wolowitz : There's got to be other options.
Raj Koothrappali : Could try calling Triple-A. But based on NASA's latest time table, they won't get there for thirty-five years.
Sheldon Cooper : Plus, I understand that you have to be standing next to the vehicle with your card when they arrive.

Raj Koothrappali : [Attempting to determine which Sci-fi show to watch the two heroes expand the rock-paper-scissors game] I'll tell you what. How about we go rock-paper-scissors?
Sheldon Cooper : Ooh, I don't think so. Anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.
Raj Koothrappali : What?
Sheldon Cooper : It's very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

Sheldon Cooper : Oh look, Saturn 3 is on.
Raj Koothrappali : I don't want to watch Saturn 3; Deep Space 9 is better.
Sheldon Cooper : How is Deep Space 9 better than Saturn 3?
Raj Koothrappali : Simple subtraction will tell you it's six better.
Leonard Hofstadter : Compromise; watch Babylon 5.
[chuckles]
