Top 12 The Big Bang Theory Quotes from 10×20

Ordered chronologically as they appear in the episode.

Amy Farrah Fowler: Did you say you guys are working on the guidance system tomorrow?

Leonard Hofstadter: Yeah, why?

Amy Farrah Fowler: Well, Sheldon said that he was gonna work with me on our quantum perception project.

Leonard Hofstadter: We’ve had this planned for a week.

Amy Farrah Fowler: Well, he reconfirmed with me this morning.

Rajesh Koothrappali: Guys, before this gets ugly, remember, the winner gets Sheldon. Amy Farrah Fowler: Why did you tell Leonard you’re working on the gyroscope tomorrow?

Sheldon Cooper: Because I am.

Amy Farrah Fowler: But you said you were working with me.

Penny Hofstadter: Uh-oh. Someone’s got two dates to the nerd prom. Sheldon Cooper: I can also free up extra hours with simple tricks, such as using a minimal amount of words to convey my point.

Leonard Hofstadter: When does that start?

Sheldon Cooper: Soon. See, I could’ve said “in the near future,” but I didn’t say “in the near future,” ’cause “in the near future” is three more words than “soon.” “In” one, “the” two, “near” three, “future” four. See “in the near future” is four, “soon” is just one, four is more than one; saving time already.

Rajesh Koothrappali: Genius. I was gonna say, “Why does anyone think Sheldon’s a genius?” But I didn’t. Amy Farrah Fowler: Sheldon, I didn’t expect that you could work on both projects, but I, I was wrong.

Sheldon Cooper: You know, I felt the same way about the spork. Uh, solids and liquids handled by one utensil? That’ll never work. Spoiler: works.

Leonard Hofstadter: I got to admit, we didn’t think you’d be able to do two things at once.

Sheldon Cooper: Yeah, I felt the same way about the platypus. You know, bird and mammal in the same creature? No way. And spoiler: way.

Penny Hofstadter (to Sheldon): You know, there was a time I would say “God bless you,” and then you would say “If you must invoke an imaginary deity, how about Thor?” And I would say, “How do you know I didn’t mean Thor?” And then you would say “Touché,” and that there ends the tale of why I no longer say “God bless you.” Penny Hofstadter: Well, we’ll just pretend that you didn’t catch a cold watching Frozen.

Sheldon Cooper: I… That didn’t happen.

Penny Hofstadter: You also got a nosebleed watching Up. Sheldon Cooper: What time is it?

Penny Hofstadter: It’s 9 o’clock.

Sheldon Cooper: 9 o’clock?! W-What happened to 8 and 7 and all the other o’clocks? Sheldon Cooper: My pants are missing, I don’t remember anything. Penny, this is your youth. What do I do?

Penny Hofstadter: I don’t know, check your body for tattoos?

Sheldon Cooper: Leonard, would you be a lamb…

Leonard Hofstadter: She’s kidding! Stuart: Well, what have you done that would upset her?

Howard Wolowitz: Oh, gosh, how much time do you have?

Stuart: Well, why don’t you just start with the worst thing?

Howard Wolowitz: Hmm, let’s see. Mm. Okay, here we go: six years ago, I got a call that Bernie’s great-aunt, Trixie, died.

Stuart: And?

Howard Wolowitz: And I forgot to give her the message.

Stuart: That’s terrible.

Howard Wolowitz: The terrible part is, ever since then, I’ve been sending Bernie Christmas cards from Trixie.

Stuart: Oh… Howard!

Howard Wolowitz: Let me finish– and one card had five dollars in it I took from Bernie’s purse. Amy Farrah Fowler (about Sheldon): How can he not remember a day?

Penny Hofstadter: Well, people who are abducted by aliens lose time. I mean, maybe it happens to the aliens, too. Penny Hofstadter (about tracking in her phone): How do you– how do you turn that thing off?

Leonard Hofstadter: Relax. I know when you “go for a run,” you stop for a donut.

Penny Hofstadter: I don’t even run there, I drive.

Bartender (about Sheldon and the top secret informations): He told everybody.

Leonard Hofstadter: That’s just great.

Bartender: Oh, don’t worry, he made us pinky swear we’d keep it a secret.
