Gentlemen, welcome to the fencing club. Before we start, I just want to warn you, fencing isn't a joke. I hope you're not here because you think it's going to be like Star Wars.

Leonard

That's not why we're here.

Yeah, I'm here because I think it's gonna be like Game of Thrones.

And maybe a little Princess Bride.

Ooh, ooh! I forgot about Princess Bride! That's my answer!

S9 E5 The Perspiration Implementation
View quote →

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

Leonard

Yes.

No chance.

Leonard

What are you doing?

He said be honest, so I was honest. Didn't your mother tell you? It's the best policy.

S9 E6 The Helium Insufficiency
View quote →

[Sheldon is showing the valuables he keeps in his lock box]

[bringing out each item] My passport. My Wil.

Leonard

You have a will?

Yeah, 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.

Leonard

Will Wil want it?

Wil won't.

S9 E7 The Spock Resonance
View quote →

[Sheldon and Leonard are working on calculations. Sheldon hums the beginning of Darlin']

Leonard

Since when do you hum songs?

What are you talking about?

Leonard

You were just humming.

Are you sure? Sometimes when my brain really gets moving it makes noise.

Leonard

How does your brain feel about calculating the surface tension of the domain walls?

Let's see... [starts humming again] Hey! I was humming. One point for Hufflepuff.

S9 E10 The Earworm Reverberation
View quote →

[Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are trying to buy tickets for the opening night of Star Wars]

The website's frozen. I can't get in.

Leonard

Same here.

Guys, they're going to sell out!

What are we gonna do?

Alright. 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!

...and I will continue to do so!

S9 E11 The Opening Night Excitation
View quote →

Good 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.

Yeah, 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.

That's the one to beat! Leonard?

Leonard

Oh, if anything, I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.

Well 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.

Stop selling it kid, you won.

S9 E12 The Sales Call Sublimation
View quote →

Hey, so I saw a movie trailer the other day, How could Batman possibly fight Superman? Isn't that dumb!

Maybe he uses kryptonite.

EEmily

Well, Batman's got a lot of money; maybe he builds a suit that can do everything Superman can do.

No, no, no, no, no, I've seen that movie. It's called Iron Man.

[the guys are stupefied]

Leonard

What is happening?

I don't know.

But it's beautiful.

How's Ben Affleck as Batman?

EEmily

Oh, he was great in Shakespeare in Love.

Ooh, we should watch that next girls' night.

We could do a double feature with the Leonardo DiCaprio Romeo and Juliet.

Oh, I love me some Leo.

Leonard

And it's gone.

S9 E13 The Empathy Optimization
View quote →

You know, the last time I got a handwritten letter was from someone who told me I parked like a blind person.

Leonard

That someone has a name.

Thank you.

S9 E14 The Meemaw Materialization
View quote →

You say it like it's easy! Has any one of you ever broken up with anyone?

No.

Leonard

Not really.

You know, once I ordered an Uber by accident, and I just got in and went somewhere.

S9 E15 The Valentino Submergence
View quote →
Leonard

What's going on?

I'm going to be a father.

Leonard

Congratulations!

Oh no!

Leonard

Why "Oh no"?

Because 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?

Leonard

Relax, there's room for two babies in this group.

O dear luck, Penny's pregnant too?

Leonard

You're the other baby!

Oh really? Well, would a baby have to shave once every eleven days?

Leonard

Would an adult refuse to eat his Graham crackers because one of them was broken?

I guess we'll call this a draw.

S9 E16 The Positive Negative Reaction
View quote →

Okay, how about this for an invention? Slightly bigger cocktail umbrellas?

Leonard

How is that a new invention?

I don't know. All Apple does is change the size of things and we keep buying them.

S9 E16 The Positive Negative Reaction
View quote →

Really? You're ahead of Bale? The man who personified the words, "I'm Batman"?

AWAdam West

I never had to say I'm Batman. I showed up. People knew I was Batman. Everywhere I went. On the TV show, mall openings, Julie Newmar's bungalow.

Leonard

I'm sold- you're ahead of Bale.

AWAdam West

There's another reason I should be higher on the list. All those other guys had muscles built into their costumes. All I had in my Batsuit was 100%, grade-A West.

S9 E17 The Celebration Experimentation
View quote →

Hang on, what if Sheldon had no choice but to be respectful?

Leonard

Is there a switch on the back of his neck we don't know about?

S9 E18 The Application Deterioration
View quote →

A party sub implies it's a party.

Leonard

Your attendance implies that it's not.

I like a party as much as the next man. As long as the next man doesn't like a party.

S9 E21 The Viewing Party Combustion
View quote →

[The guys are telling Zack about their prototype navigation system.]

You can put it in a satellite or a rocket and it'll run forever.

Cool. Could it be used for missiles and war stuff?

Yee-ah. But we didn't create it for weapons.

Leonard

And I doubt that the military would be interested in our little guidance system.

Is it better than the one they use now?

LHLeonard and Howard

[together] "Way more." "A lotǃ"

Huh. You sure you guys are smart?
