Quotes
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Wait a minute! He offered to send you to the North Pole?
Sheldon Cooper : Yes. In fact, he was quite enthusiastic. He said "frankly, if I could send you tonight, I would."
-
Sheldon Cooper : Oh, boy.
Leonard Hofstadter : What?
Sheldon Cooper : I can't comment without violating our agreement that I don't criticize your work.
Leonard Hofstadter : Then what was "Oh, boy"?
Sheldon Cooper : Great restraint on my part.
-
Howard Wolowitz : Just imagine, if he accepts the offer, we could have an entire summer without Sheldon.
Rajesh Koothrappali : We could play outside.
Howard Wolowitz : We could sit on the left side of the couch.
Leonard Hofstadter : I could use the bathroom at 8:20.
Rajesh Koothrappali : Our dreams are small, aren't they?
-
Leonard Hofstadter : She didn't seem that upset that I was going.
Sheldon Cooper : No. Did you think she was upset?
Leonard Hofstadter : No.
Sheldon Cooper : Oh, good. I got one right. Are you upset?
Leonard Hofstadter : A little.
Sheldon Cooper : Two for two. I'm on fire.
Leonard Hofstadter : I know she's not my girlfriend or anything, but don't you think she'd feel a little bad that I'd be gone for the whole summer?
Sheldon Cooper : That feels like a bonus question. I'm going to stop right here and say I've had a great time.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : [At the North Pole] Darn it!
Howard Wolowitz : What?
Leonard Hofstadter : We're out of ice.

[a comment Penny made has given Leonard second thoughts about going on the Arctic expedition]
Sheldon Cooper : Her missing you is an emotional state you find desirable.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yes, obviously.
Sheldon Cooper : All right. Well, given that missing you is predicated on you leaving, logic dictates you must leave.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yes, okay, but I'm gonna be gone for three months. What if she doesn't miss me that long and she meets someone else?
Sheldon Cooper : She does have a short attention span.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon, what are the words I can say right now to end this conversation and let me go back to sleep?
Sheldon Cooper : Odd. President Seibert posed the exact same question.
Leonard Hofstadter : How was it resolved?
Sheldon Cooper : It wasn't. His wife set their dogs on me and rendered the question moot..
-
Sheldon Cooper : I'm at the horns of a dilemma. Can you imagine me, Sheldon Cooper, at the North Pole?
Leonard Hofstadter : Easy peasy. I'm doing it right now.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Sheldon, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sheldon Cooper : [waking up] I want another cookie, Meemaw.
Leonard Hofstadter : It's just me
Sheldon Cooper : But Meemaw was just making cookies.
-
Penny : Oh, Leonard, what time is it?
Leonard Hofstadter : It's 7 a.m. I'm sorry it's early, but we're leaving soon, and I needed to talk to you.
Penny : Okay.
Leonard Hofstadter : What did you mean when you said you're going to miss me?
Penny : Um, I don't know. You'll be gone and I'll notice.
Leonard Hofstadter : Okay, well, um, what about this? What does this mean?
Penny : Wine, credit card and late night television are a bad combination.
Leonard Hofstadter : All right, fine. What about that really long hug? What did that mean?
Penny : That wasn't a long hug.
Leonard Hofstadter : It was at least five Mississippis. A standard hug is two Mississippis tops.
Penny : Leonard, I don't know what to tell you. It was just a hug.
Leonard Hofstadter : Glad we cleared that up.
Penny : Yeah.
Sheldon Cooper : I guess I'll see you.
Penny : Okay, have a safe trip.
Leonard Hofstadter : Thank you. Bye.
Penny : Okay, bye.
[Behind her door]
Penny : Means I wish you weren't going.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : [Corrects chart] There. How's that.
Sheldon Cooper : You actually had it right the first time. Once again, you have fallen for one of my classic pranks. Bazinga!
-
Penny : Sheldon says you're going to the North Pole.
Leonard Hofstadter : Yeah. Pretty cool, huh?
Penny : Yeah. I'm just a little surprised you didn't tell me.
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, well, it all happened kind of fast, and we had to get physicals and buy thermal underwear and study up on, you know, snow and stuff. Sorry, I was gonna tell you.
Penny : Oh, hey, no, you don't have to apologize. There's no reason you have to tell me. I was just, you know, surprised.
-
Penny : Well, I got you a little going away present.
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, a blanket.
Penny : Oh, no, no, no, not just a blanket. See, it has sleeves. Yeah! So, you can, you know, be all snoodled up while you do your science stuff.
Leonard Hofstadter : Oh, wow, cool.
Penny : Oh, I'm gonna miss you.
[Long hug]
Penny : See you later.
-
Leonard Hofstadter : Dinner's ready.
Sheldon Cooper : What are we having?
Leonard Hofstadter : Reconstituted Thai food.
Sheldon Cooper : Did you bring the dehydrated low-sodium soy sauce?
Leonard Hofstadter : Check.
Sheldon Cooper : Freeze-dried spicy mustard?
Leonard Hofstadter : Check.
Sheldon Cooper : Flash-frozen brown rice, not white?
Leonard Hofstadter : Uh, oh, sorry.
Sheldon Cooper : Not to worry. I hid it. Bazinga!
-
Sheldon Cooper : Leonard, you may be right. It appears that Penny secretly wants you in her life in a very intimate and carnal fashion.
Leonard Hofstadter : You really think so?
Sheldon Cooper : Of course not. Even in my sleep-deprived state, I've managed to pull off another one of my classic pranks... Bazinga.
