Quotes
-
Raj Koothrappali : In "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", isn't 43 the answer to life, the universe and everything?
Howard Wolowitz : That's 42, dumbass.
Raj Koothrappali : Hey! Feelings.
-
Raj Koothrappali : This is so exciting! Like one of my classic murder mystery parties.
Leonard Hofstadter : Like the case of who murdered three Saturday nights from my life.
Howard Wolowitz : Colonel Koothrappali in the kitchen with the olive spread.
Raj Koothrappali : It was tapanade, and you guys suck.

[Howard and Raj watch the video of Sheldon in the room]
Sheldon Cooper : This is Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Experimental log. Wormhole generator test forty-four.
Howard Wolowitz : Wormhole generator test?
[Wormhole appears]
Sheldon Cooper : The first forty-three parallel universes I've checked proved to be empty. I see no reason to suspect universe number forty-four will be any different.
[Puts his head in the wormhole; when he takes it out he has an alien creature attached to his face]
Howard Wolowitz : Oh, my God!
Raj Koothrappali : Holy crap!
Sheldon Cooper : Oh! It's eating my face!
Raj Koothrappali : It's eating his face!
[Sheldon sneaks in from behind them and throw the fake alien creature onto their laptop; Howard and Raj freak out]

Raj Koothrappali : That's a good camera.
Howard Wolowitz : Should be. It's from the Mars Rover.
Raj Koothrappali : How did you get it?
Howard Wolowitz : 5 million dollar equipment, ten dollar lock.
-
Howard Wolowitz : I wonder what Sheldon's hiding in there?
Raj Koothrappali : He's always been kind of a weirdo. Maybe he's got Leonard Nimoy chained up in there. Or Bill Gates or Stephen Hawking.
Howard Wolowitz : Why would he chain up Stephen Hawking?
Raj Koothrappali : Howard, shame on you! You can't treat him differently just because he's disabled, that's not okay!
-
Howard Wolowitz : We're going to the genetics lab to pet the glow-in-the-dark bunny. Want to come?
Sheldon Cooper : No, thanks.
Raj Koothrappali : When they turn off the lights, it's like a little laser show that poops all over the place.
-
Sheldon Cooper : You may not realize it, but I have difficulty navigating through certain aspects of daily life: understanding sarcasm, feigning interest in others, not talking about trains as much as I'd want to. It's exhausting! Which is why, for 20 minutes a day, I like to go down to that room, turn my mind off and do what I need to do to recharge.
Howard Wolowitz : But what do you do in there?
Raj Koothrappali : What does 43 mean?
Sheldon Cooper : You don't need to know. You don't deserve to know. And you will never know.
[Leaves]
Raj Koothrappali : Yeah? Well, I know how to make your egg salad now!
-
Howard Wolowitz : [Unlocking door] There. Let's go.
Raj Koothrappali : Wait. Sheldon's a smart guy. He probably has the place booby trapped.
Howard Wolowitz : You're right.
Raj Koothrappali : We need a way to find out first.
Howard Wolowitz : Don't worry, I have a way.
Raj Koothrappali : Really? What's the pla...
[Howard pushes Raj through the door]
Howard Wolowitz : You okay?
Raj Koothrappali : Yeah.
-
Howard Wolowitz : Wha the hell is 43?
Raj Koothrappali : It's a prime number. Encryption systems are based on prime numbers.
Howard Wolowitz : What kind of secrets would Sheldon need encrypting?
Raj Koothrappali : Maybe it's the secret to what makes his egg salad so delicious.
Howard Wolowitz : It's paprika.
Raj Koothrappali : Really? Well, one mystery solved.
-
Howard Wolowitz : Where are you going?
Sheldon Cooper : Where are you going?
Raj Koothrappali : We told you.
Sheldon Cooper : Yeah, I just told you.
Howard Wolowitz : No, you didn't.
Sheldon Cooper : Your word against mine. See you in court.
-
[Opening lines]
Raj Koothrappali : What are you drawing over there?
Sheldon Cooper : A containment unit for a frisbee-sized wormhole that could serve as a portal to a parallel universe.
Howard Wolowitz : Oh, you silly doodlebug.
Leonard Hofstadter : You know, scientists believe that contact with other lifeforms would not be good for us.
Sheldon Cooper : It's a frisbee-sized wormhole, Leonard. I can just cover it with a frisbee. Here.
[Hands napkin to Howard]
Howard Wolowitz : You expect me to build this?
Sheldon Cooper : No, I expect you to wipe the pudding off your chin. Gentlemen?
-
Howard Wolowitz : What could 43 be, besides my mother's neck size?
Raj Koothrappali : It's the atomic number for technetium.
Howard Wolowitz : That stuff's radioactive.
Raj Koothrappali : You think he's building a bomb?
Howard Wolowitz : Nah, it took him two years to put together that Lego Death Star, I'm not worried.
-
Raj Koothrappali : This is fun. Sneaking around in the middle of the night. It's like we're a couple of cat burglars.
Howard Wolowitz : We're not cat burglars. We're more like ninjas.
Raj Koothrappali : I don't want to be a ninja. I want to be a cat burglar.
Howard Wolowitz : Fine. I'll be a ninja, and you be a cat burglar.
Raj Koothrappali : No, we both have to be the same thing!
Howard Wolowitz : Fine! We're both ninjas.
Raj Koothrappali : Okay. But next time we'll be cat burglars.

Raj Koothrappali : [about Alex] Boy, what I wouldn't give to take her out of those pants. And into something a little more stylish.
