Be honest, if the shoe was on the other foot, would you do this for me?

SheldonNo chance.

Hey Sheldon. This is Adam Nimoy.
Nice to meet you.
SheldonOh, it's nice to meet you. I admire your father's work very much. It's not every day I get to meet someone whose life journey began in my hero's scrotum.
[quietly aside to Adam Nimoy] I told you this guy is gold.
[Sheldon is showing the valuables he keeps in his lock box]
Sheldon[bringing out each item] My passport. My Wil.
You have a will?
SheldonYeah, my one-eighteenth scale Wil Wheaton action figure. Yeah, I also have the other kind of will, and in it, I will my Wil back to Wil.
Will Wil want it?
Wil won't.
[Sheldon and Leonard are working on calculations. Sheldon hums the beginning of Darlin']
Since when do you hum songs?
SheldonWhat are you talking about?
You were just humming.
SheldonAre you sure? Sometimes when my brain really gets moving it makes noise.
How does your brain feel about calculating the surface tension of the domain walls?
SheldonLet's see... [starts humming again] Hey! I was humming. One point for Hufflepuff.
[Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are trying to buy tickets for the opening night of Star Wars]
SheldonThe website's frozen. I can't get in.
Same here.
Guys, they're going to sell out!
What are we gonna do?
SheldonAlright. This goes against everything I stand for, but desperate times call for desperate measures. [Kneels on the floor in a prayer stance] Lord, this is Sheldon Cooper. You're good friends with my mom. I know I've spent my life denying that you exist...
Got them!
Sheldon...and I will continue to do so!
I'm just... really nervous.
SheldonWhy?
I've been waiting for this for so long. I've just built it up in my head. I don't know what to expect.
SheldonNeither do I. But... we can find out together.
SheldonGood news gentlemen! Amy's at a conference this weekend, which means I'm available to be entertained. As today's youth might put it, who wants to get their Sheld-on?
Bernie and I are getting the house ready for the remodel. We could always use an extra pair of hands.
SheldonYeah, that sounds awful. Raj?
I've got time booked in the telescope room all weekend, scanning for rogue planets. You're more than welcome to join me.
SheldonThat's the one to beat! Leonard?
Oh, if anything, I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.
SheldonWell then, it looks like we have a winner. Congratulations.
Well, I should warn you, it's just looking at data for hours and hours on a computer screen.
SheldonStop selling it kid, you won.
Hi Sheldon, what's new?
SheldonMy friends are jerks and I'm mad at all of them.
I said "what's new," but sure...
You know, the last time I got a handwritten letter was from someone who told me I parked like a blind person.
That someone has a name.
SheldonThank you.
No wine for me. Sheldon's bringing me my whiskey.
SheldonThere you go, Meemaw. I made it just how you like it. A lot, in a glass.
You say it like it's easy! Has any one of you ever broken up with anyone?
No.
Not really.
SheldonYou know, once I ordered an Uber by accident, and I just got in and went somewhere.
What's going on?
I'm going to be a father.
Congratulations!
SheldonOh no!
Why "Oh no"?
SheldonBecause this changes everything! You know, what about comic book night? What about playing games together? What about our trips to Disneyland? How can we do those things with a child around?
Relax, there's room for two babies in this group.
SheldonO dear luck, Penny's pregnant too?
You're the other baby!
SheldonOh really? Well, would a baby have to shave once every eleven days?
Would an adult refuse to eat his Graham crackers because one of them was broken?
SheldonI guess we'll call this a draw.
All right, what about music?
SheldonI enjoy marching bands and Tibetan throat music.
No music it is.
[Howard, Leonard and Sheldon are waiting at the patenting office]
Okay, I've got to ask, why are you wearing a bow-tie?
SheldonI've never applied for a patent before. I wanted to make a good impression.
Is the impression that your first name is Peewee?
[Leonard laughs]
SheldonYeah, well you're an engineer. End of joke. Burn!
That's not what the forest smells like.
SheldonWell how would I know?
