Big Bang Theory – Live long and prosper, Sheldon!

The other major storyline centering around Raj made me really sad. After Howard and Bernadette kept pestering him about whether or not he would be bringing a plus-one to their upcoming wedding, a lonely and dejected Raj reached out to his parents, asking them if they would find him a wife for a traditional arranged marriage. It really breaks my heart to see him alone other than his occasional “threesomes with Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth” because he’s so sweet, articulate, funny and boyishly cute.

“Metrosexual” or not, I think Raj would make the ideal boyfriend with his fancy little soaps, man-purse and amazing-looking homemade chocolate lava cakes. If you didn’t watch the episode yet, I don’t want to ruin the ending for you but it made me feel slightly better for him. Maybe he won’t be as lonesome now, and that definitely made me smile.

Memorable Quotes:
Penny: “You can raid my fridge anytime you want.”
Sheldon: “Oh, that’s very kind of you. Next time I have a hankerin’ to wash down a D-cell battery with an old jar of pickle juice, I’ll come a’knockin’.”

Sheldon: “I hate wedding receptions. I wish the bride and groom would take a cue from Bilbo Baggins. You slip on the ring, disappear, and everyone goes home.”

Sheldon: “Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, but 100% of make-your-own sundae bars end in happiness.”

Raj: “I’m not gay. If anything, I’m metrosexual. It means I like women as well as their skin care products.”

Sheldon: “Quantum physics makes me so happy. It’s like looking at the universe naked.”

Leonard: “You went to the comic book store by yourself?”
Penny: “Yeah, it was fun. I walked in and two different guys got asthma attacks. Felt pretty good.”

Sheldon (with his transporter): “This calls for an expression of gratitude.”
Penny: “Ooh, am I about to get a rare Sheldon Cooper hug?”
Sheldon: “No, not this time. Then they wouldn’t be special. (finger-point) Thanks, Penny.”

Leonard: “Once you open the box, it loses its value.”
Penny: “Yeah, yeah, my mom gave me the same lecture about my virginity. Gotta tell you, it was a lot more fun taking it out and playing with it.”

Spock: “I need to speak with you.”
Sheldon: “Fascinating. The only logical explanation is this a dream.”
Spock: “It is not the only logical explanation. For example, you could be hallucinating after being hit on the head, by say, a coconut.”
Sheldon: “Was I hit on the head by a coconut?”
Spock: “I am not going to dignify that with a response. Now, to the matter at hand. You need to play with the transporter toy.”
Sheldon: “But it’s mint-in-box.”
Spock: “Yes, and to open it would destroy its value. But remember, like me, you also have a human half.”
Sheldon: “Well, I’m not going to dignify that with a response.”
Spock: “Consider this. What is the purpose of a toy?”
Sheldon: “To be played with.”
Spock: “Therefore, to not play with it would be …”
Sheldon: “Illogical. Damn it, Spock. You’re right. I’ll do it.”
Spock: “Sheldon, wait. You have to wake up first.”
Sheldon: “Of course. Set phasers to dumb, right?”

Sheldon (opening the transporter): “Goodie, goodie, goodie. This is wrong. This is wrong. I’m so excited, but this is wrong. I’m gonna do it. I’m doing it. I did it. … Oh, that’s what I always thought 1975 smelled like.”

Raj’s Date: “Well, there’s a rumor back in New Delhi that you’re, how should we say, comfortable in a sari.”

Raj’s Date: “That’s disappointing. You were exactly the kind of phoney bologna husband I was looking for.”
Raj: “Thank you, and once again, my bologna likes girls.”

Sheldon: “Oh dear, two suns and no sunscreen.”
Spock: “Hello again, Sheldon.”
Sheldon: “What is it now tiny Spock?”
Spock: “I’m very disappointed in you. You broke your toy and switched it with Leonard’s. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
Sheldon: “You’re the one who told me to play with it.”
Spock: “If I told you to jump off the bridge of the Enterprise, would you do it?”
Sheldon: “If I got on the bridge of the Enterprise, I would never, ever leave.”
Spock: “Trust me, it gets old after awhile. You must right your wrong Sheldon.”
Sheldon: “Why? I got away with it. Leonard has his toy and he’s never going to open it so he won’t know it’s broken and I have a toy that isn’t broken. Everybody’s happy.”
Spock: “Well, I am unhappy.”
Sheldon: “I thought where you come from, they don’t have emotions.”
Spock: “I come from a factory in Taiwan. Now do the right thing.”
Sheldon: “You know what you are? Well, you’re a green-blooded buzz kill. Perhaps it’s time you beam on out of here.”
Spock: “Fine. I will just use the transporter. Oh, right. You broke it.”
Sheldon: “Very well. Cooper to Enterprise, one to beam up. Energize.” (throws tiny Spock)

Howard: “Ma would’ve killed me if she found out I broke my retainer.”

Penny: “Relax, I’m just looking at the box.”
Sheldon: “Perhaps you should look with your eyes and not your muscular Nebraska man-hands.”
