Quotes 

• Leonard Hofstadter : I thought you were with your new friends.

  Sheldon Cooper : I had to leave. They were having fun wrong.

• Sheldon Cooper : Jacuzzi is a commercial brand, hot tub is the generic term, i.e., all Jacuzzis are hot tubs, but not all hot tubs are Jacuzzis.

  Zack : Is that like all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs?

  Sheldon Cooper : Surprisingly, yes.

  Zack : Nice. Now, what exactly are toes?

• [Sheldon has come over to Raj's after his get-together didn't go the way he wanted it to] 

  Sheldon Cooper : [knocking on front door]  All my friends?

  [knocking] 

  Sheldon Cooper : All my friends?

  [knocking] 

  Sheldon Cooper : All my friends?

  Howard Wolowitz : I think it's like "Beetlejuice"; we said his name too many times.

• [Priya has made some homemade chili, albeit with beans, which is counter to the Texan definition of chili - Sheldon is Texan - and the fact is fodder for know-it-all Sheldon] 

  Priya : Would you like some homemade chili?

  Sheldon Cooper : Are there beans in it?

  Priya : [guardedly]  Yes?

  Sheldon Cooper : Then it's not chili. Real chili has no beans in it, but you're from a foreign land, so your ignorance is forgiven.

  Priya : [a bit exasperated]  Sheldon, do you want some or not?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes, please.

  [to Leonard, quietly] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Your girlfriend's a little short-tempered.

• Sheldon Cooper : Well, no, sir, and do you know why? In a word, tradition. Every Thursday night for the last eight years, you and I and our friends have gathered here in this very spot to break bread covered with cheese and sauce, discuss the issues of the day, and yes, share a laugh or two. But I guess our rich heritage means nothing to you.

• Sheldon Cooper : I'm the whimsical elf that everyone looks to for a good time.

• [Sheldon is having a get-together with a new group of friends] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : You're having people over?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. Must be killing you wondering who. Fine, I'll tell you. Stuart from the comic book store, Barry Kripke from the university, Penny's ex-boyfriend Zack, and TV's Levar Burton.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Really? Levar Burton's coming over?

  Sheldon Cooper : Possible. I tweeted him.

• Sheldon Cooper : I just realized, we're about to spend an evening watching a plasma screen with a cluster of dead pixels in the upper left-hand corner.

  Leonard Hofstadter : So don't watch TV. Read a book.

  Sheldon Cooper : And be a social pariah? You know that's not my style.

• Raj Koothrappali : Hey, you're just in time. We made Tex-Mex.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Sounds great.

  Sheldon Cooper : Ooh, Indians making Tex-Mex. Might as well have had the Chinese pizza.

• Priya : There's no assigned seats, Sheldon. Just sit anywhere, make yourself comfortable.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, what fun. We're like hippies at a love-in.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Just sit here.

  Sheldon Cooper : Right on, man, right on.

• Kripke : I'm Barry Kwipke and I'm here because you told me there was gonna be a whaffle. When is the whaffle?

  Sheldon Cooper : Patience, patience, Barry. The whaffle... the raffle is the grand finale to an evening-long festival of fun and folly.

• Sheldon Cooper : [tasting Priya's non-Texan chili]  Mm, this is good... whatever it is.
