[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "Before we do, I just talked to Leonard. And if you’re gonna spend all your time trying to belittle me by making this class unnecessarily hard, then I’m out. But if you’re interested in making a sincere effort to be a good teacher, then I’m willing to give this a shot." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I suppose that’s a fair request. There’s no reason we both can’t benefit from this experience." }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Okay. Well, then, uh, first things first. Um, are you familiar with the Brachistochrone problem?" } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "I’m getting worried about Bernadette. I’m gonna call and check on her." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "The National Science Foundation wants to give me a substantial grant." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Ha. Perfect. Okay. Get this. Professor Jones told the symposium he had a new method for calculating the mass of a muon. Five times the limit of E to the upsilon as in a (laughs uncontrollably) . Okay. No, no. I’ll start over. Professor (laughs again)" }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "I haven’t seen him laugh that hard since the day Leonard made that multiplication error." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh, Oh, Lord, that multiplication error! He thought he carried the one. But he didn’t." } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "No, we agreed they all have their merits. This was about Bernadette." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "What’s going on?" } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Mai du lui tsa." }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "You just called Leonard a syphilitic donkey." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "My apologies Leonard, I’m only as good as my teacher." } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "Okay, how about this for a topic, why is Leonard being a giant douche? Assuming giant douches are possible." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Of course they are. Leonard’s being one." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Is he making any progress? Because I’d like to erase Ben Affleck as Daredevil." }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "So would Ben Affleck. The point is, in a situation like this you got to pick sides. You’re either on Team Leonard or Team Penny." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Which one picks last?" }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "What?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, usually I’m on the team that picks last. Unless there’s a kid in a wheelchair." } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "I don’t know. She just said Howard, momma’s a rolling stone. And then her call waiting beeped and she was gone." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I don’t understand. If you were in a non-emotional relationship then why are you having  what appears be an emotional response?" } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "He drank from Leonard’s glass." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "He drank from Leonard’s glass. Words they’ll be carving into my tombstone." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh, gentlemen." }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "Hey. Aren’t you going to introduce us to your little friend?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "My apologies. Raj, Howard, I’d like you to meet Dr. Robert Oppenheimer." } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "Hello." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Howard, I’m sick." } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "Hello." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "If any of you are looking for something to do on Valentine’s Day, Amy and I’ll be streaming our first-ever live episode of Fun With Flags. You’re welcome to join us as we celebrate the timeless love affair between wind and flapping fabric." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Are you sure? We were making fun of failed careers. We didn’t get to tap the juicy vein that is Howard’s." }, { "from": "Howard", "value": "Hey, I work at the same university you do." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yes, and Hawkeye’s in the Avengers, but no one ever says help, Hawkeye." } ]

[ { "from": "Howard", "value": "Hey." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Hello." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I.e, I couldn’t become Green Lantern unless I was chosen by the guardians of Oa, but given enough start-up capital and an adequate research facility, I could be Batman." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "You could be Batman?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Sure. (In a gravelly voice) I’m Batman. See." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Leonard, where do you stand on the anthropic principle?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Interesting question. On the one hand, I always thought…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "You don’t even know what it is, do you? The anthropic principle states that if we wish to explain why our universe exists the way it does, the answer is that it must have qualities that allow intelligent creatures to arise who are capable of asking the question. As I am doing so eloquently right now." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Interesting question. On the one hand, I always thought…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "You don’t even know what it is, do you? The anthropic principle states that if we wish to explain why our universe exists the way it does, the answer is that it must have qualities that allow intelligent creatures to arise who are capable of asking the question. As I am doing so eloquently right now." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "I know what the anthropic principle is." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Of course. I just explained it to you. Now, where do you stand on it?" } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "You don’t even know what it is, do you? The anthropic principle states that if we wish to explain why our universe exists the way it does, the answer is that it must have qualities that allow intelligent creatures to arise who are capable of asking the question. As I am doing so eloquently right now." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "I know what the anthropic principle is." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Of course. I just explained it to you. Now, where do you stand on it?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Where do you stand on it?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Strongly pro." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "That seems like a bit of an overreaction." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "No, the overreaction was the plan to tie your limbs to four different sled dog teams and yell mush. Look, we kept the original data. You can still publish the actual results." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yes, but the actual results are unsuccessful and I’ve already sent an e-mail to everyone at the university explaining that I have confirmed string theory and forever changed man’s understanding of the universe." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Look at this. Elon Musk has a theory that we’re all just characters in some advanced civilization’s video game." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "So some alien kid spent his money on the asthma-and-glasses upgrade for me?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, he doesn’t say it’s a good game." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Sure, I’m still figuring out the thermo-acoustic expander." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh, while you do that I am going to pump cerebral spinal fluid through my brain cells to remove the metabolic by-products of the day’s thoughts." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "We only have two months to deliver this to the Air Force because of you." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I know, I was there." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Yeah, this is nothing more than a physics problem." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Right. Archimedes once said give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "What do you got?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I believe Alex may have unearthed the grade school science project that could be my ticket to the Nobel Prize. Behold." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Magnets: What Do They Stick To? If the answer is metal, it’s not exactly groundbreaking." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "The original title was “A Rederivation of Maxwell’s Equations Regarding Electromagnetism”” I dumbed it down because some of the more religious people in town were starting to say I was a witch." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh, please, the Hulk would never get across the border with that temper." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Guys, excuse me, not that calling one of the Avengers isn’t a perfectly reasonable choice, but we’re scientists. Don’t you think we can figure this out using actual science?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yes, we could use science. But it’s your bachelor party. Lighten up." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "They’re basically pure hydrocarbons soaked in fat. Let’s hope the lug nut expands." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "What if that burning food attracts animals?" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Hey, check it out, it’s just corn starch and water." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "They make up a non-Newtonian fluid which is liquid, but solid under the percussive action of the speaker." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Oshikuru: Demon Samurai." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "And it’s not a cartoon, it’s anime." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Nice to see a busy couple keep the spark of bureaucracy alive." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Ignore them, Amy. They’re just jealous because they’ll never have a relationship as good as ours." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "How can you be sure? VHS was king when Feynman drove this van. For all we know, there are hidden compartments lousy with Jane Fonda workout videos." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "If there was a hidden compartment, don’t you think you’d be stuffed in it by now?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Are we all up to date on our yellow fever inoculations?" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Have you guys heard about this research team that’s trying to transgenically manipulate chicken DNA to create some sort of chicken dinosaur?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh, I think that sounds wonderful." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh! No, I beg to differ. Of the three of us, I was by far the most supportive." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Really, do tell." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "How will Raj ever reach true greatness if his friends lower the bar for him? When I was eleven, my sister bought our father a “world’s greatest dad” coffee mug, and frankly the man coasted until the day he died." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Okay, let’s try it this way, what if the People magazine thing is the best Raj is ever going to achieve?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I had not considered that." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Really, do tell." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "How will Raj ever reach true greatness if his friends lower the bar for him? When I was eleven, my sister bought our father a “world’s greatest dad” coffee mug, and frankly the man coasted until the day he died." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Okay, let’s try it this way, what if the People magazine thing is the best Raj is ever going to achieve?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I had not considered that." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Come on." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I often forget other people have limitations. It’s so sad." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I am not a loser. Pictionary is not a true test of any real intelligence or skill." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Mmm, in all fairness, Pictionary has verbal skills, visual skills. It’s a pretty well-rounded game." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Lot of big talk from a man who can’t draw a chocolate chip cookie." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Hold on. So, your idea is to get a van and cruise the streets looking for kids to pick up?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yes." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Enjoy having the place to yourselves." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "You enjoy your mission to boldly go where no man has gone before." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "It’s Penny’s bedroom. Plenty of men have gone before." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Remember, show your work." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m not okay." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Have you noticed that Howard can take any topic and use it to remind you that he went to space?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Interesting hypothesis. Let’s apply the scientific method, perform an experiment." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It’s from Game of Thrones. What do you think?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I don’t know. If we’re going to start a fantasy sword collection, and I’ve long thought we should, is this really the sword to start with?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "What did you have in mind?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, off the top of my head, I’d have to go with Excalibur. It gives you the right to rule England." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It would be a replica of a movie prop." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Fair enough. It’d give you the right to rule a replica of England." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "What did you have in mind?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, off the top of my head, I’d have to go with Excalibur. It gives you the right to rule England." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It would be a replica of a movie prop." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Fair enough. It’d give you the right to rule a replica of England." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Well, they don’t have an Excalibur here, so what do you want to do?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Mm. Tough decision. There’s no weaponry from Lord of the Rings, forged in a Chinese sweatshop?" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It would be a replica of a movie prop." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Fair enough. It’d give you the right to rule a replica of England." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Well, they don’t have an Excalibur here, so what do you want to do?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Mm. Tough decision. There’s no weaponry from Lord of the Rings, forged in a Chinese sweatshop?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Just Bilbo Baggins’ sword over there." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Two grown men with a hobbit’s dagger; wouldn’t we look silly? Okay, let’s go for it." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "How cool would that be if we could make one of those a reality?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "If we could figure out the scientific basis for Marty’s hover board, that would have universal application." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "I always wanted to be a swashbuckler when I was a kid." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Technically, swashbuckler is a combination of two terms. Swash referring to the sound of the sword. Swash. And then buckler meaning a small shield, which you don’t have." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "All right, now, one benefit of quantum coupling…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Wait, a question, who decides if someone’s gone off topic?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "I think it’ll be pretty clear. If not, we’ll take a vote. Oh, and also…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Ow. We didn’t vote!" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "We didn’t have to, that was clearly a tangent. Now come on. Back to work. If we’re leaning towards quantum coupling… Aah! Why?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "You said quantum coupling. That made me think of the show Quantum Leap. That’s a tangent and it’s your fault." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Yeah, it’ll help them get away when they see a g-g-ghost." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Are they making fun of us?" } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I don’t know. Lately we’ve been talking about converting it into a missile silo." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Your son seems to think we need to launch a pre-emptive strike on Burbank." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Get them before they get us." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Who is he?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Where does he work?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "How does he get the helium?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "How many questions are too many questions?" } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I’ve found an emulator online that lets you play classic text based computer games from the 1980s." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "That’s pretty cool." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh yes. It runs on the world’s most powerful graphics chip, imagination." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "You’ve really got to get out more." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Go north. You can’t go that way. Go west. A troll blocks your passage. Okay, fasten your seatbelts, kill troll. With what? With sword. (There is a knock on the door.) You don’t have the sword. Good golly, it’s as if it’s actually happening to me." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Sacks, sacks…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "It’s football nomenclature for when a quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Huh… Scrimmage…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "The line of scrimmage is the imaginary transverse line separating the offence from the defence." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Okay, but now there’s this Swedish team that read our paper and they’re trying to beat us to our own discovery. We really need this helium." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "And I’m sorry I lied about being a wedding planner who can’t find love. Although I am currently single, if you know anybody." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I’m invoking the Skynet clause of our friendship agreement." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "That only applies if you need me to help you destroy an artificial intelligence you created that’s taking over the Earth." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Come on! Don’t nitpick!" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Good night." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Shh. All right, I’m invoking our bodysnatchers clause." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "The bodysnatchers clause requires me to help you destroy someone we know who’s been replaced with an alien pod." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yes. She’s in the living room. Go, I’ll wait here." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Oh, Gas-X has a new ultra strength. I guess they really do read their mail." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Hey, isn’t that Professor Proton?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Oh, yeah." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Look at him, just standing in line like he wasn’t moderately famous 30 years ago. Let’s go say hello." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Oh, maybe we shouldn’t bother him." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I’m not going to bother him, I’m going to talk to him." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "He thinks there’s a difference." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Arthur? Arthur, it’s me, Sheldon Cooper. You may not remember because of your advanced age." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "I’m sorry, Dr. Jeffries, I’m just excited. This nano vacuum tube idea of yours is, it’s really interesting." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Hello, Leonard. Oh, hello, Arthur. What an odd coincidence that you’re both here." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Why is it odd?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Because as it just so happens, I’m also spending the day with a beloved children’s television science personality. Isn’t that right, new friend and colleague Bill Nye the Science Guy. Sorry, I replaced you with a newer model." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Compromise. Watch Babylon 5." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "In what sense is that a compromise?" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "You know, a lot of scientists believe that making contact with other life-forms would probably not end well for us." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "It’s a Frisbee-sized wormhole, Leonard. You can block it with a Frisbee. Calm down. (Hands Howard the napkin)" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "That one over there." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Leonard, where are the Skee-Ball tickets?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Skee-Ball tickets?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yeah, from when we went to the arcade three years ago? I finally decided what prize I want. Hurry up." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "What happened?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Howard’s at the Mars Rover lab. He says he’s in trouble. Defcon 5." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Defcon 5? Well, there’s no need to rush." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "What?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Defcon 5 means no danger. Defcon 1 is a crisis." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "What happened to the Leonard Hofstadter who waited in line with me for 14 hours to see the midnight premiere of Star Trek: Nemesis?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Oh. Well, he waited in line for 14 hours, while you napped in a lawn chair, he got in a fight with a Klingon when he stepped out of line to pee and you wouldn’t wake up to vouch for him, and worst of all, he saw Star Trek: Nemesis." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "But how were our seats?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Excellent." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I rest my case. Amy, don’t you agree we should leave now and get in line?" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Well, have fun with whatever nightmare’s behind door number two." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, hello." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It’s not hard. Just picture the Three Stooges, and then take away two stooges." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I’m so disappointed in myself. Jealousy is completely illogical." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Are you really going to be on NPR?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yes, they’re interviewing me by phone from my office, regarding the recent so-called discovery of magnetic monopoles in spin-ices. It’s pledge week and they’re trying to goose the ratings with a little controversy." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Very cool, congratulations." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Thank you. My mother is very excited. She’s convening her Bible study group to listen in, and then pray for my soul." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Okay, so Kripke played a joke on you." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "It wasn’t funny." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "See, the liquid metal Terminators were created in the future by Skynet, and Skynet was developed by Miles Dyson, but that future no longer exists, due to Dyson’s death in Terminator 2." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Okay, then riddle me this. Assuming all the good Terminators were originally evil Terminators created by Skynet but then reprogrammed by the future John Connor, why would Skynet, an artificial computer intelligence, bother to create a petite hot 17 year-old killer robot?" } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Okay, then riddle me this. Assuming all the good Terminators were originally evil Terminators created by Skynet but then reprogrammed by the future John Connor, why would Skynet, an artificial computer intelligence, bother to create a petite hot 17 year-old killer robot?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Skynet is kinky? I don’t know." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Artificial intelligences do not have teen fetishes." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Alright, oh wait, they use it to in…" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "(Buzzing noise), too late, I win." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the 12th, and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying, hang on to your hats, seven and three. Eh? Eh? Did I lie?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "We get it. 73 is the Chuck Norris of numbers." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Chuck Norris wishes. In binary, 73 is a palindrome, one-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one which backwards is one-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one, exactly the same. All Chuck Norris backwards gets you is Sirron Kcuhc." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Because…. uh, Friday, we are attending a symposium on molecular positronium." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I think that’s a week from Tuesday at six." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "They have beach right in the name. What do you think?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Well, now that you can focus again, what do you say we get back to surface tension of domain walls?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Of course. I’m already seeing a more efficient way of taming the ultravi… I know why the song was in my head." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "But you don’t even like flags." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Yeah, I like this one." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "But I designed it." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "But you made me order it because you were too well-known in the flag community and they’d jack up the price." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "But you don’t even understand its symbolism." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Oh, I do. The, the field of blue represents you being miserable, and the lion sticking its tongue out means I’m happy about it." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Come along, Amy. I know when I’m not wanted." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Hocus Pocus Pocahontas." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "And may I point out it is the three of you who are obsessed with Stuart and Amy, not me. I think you need to ask yourselves who’s really being ridiculous here. (Walks away with spurs jangling)" } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "With a hologram? Nice. Hey, do you see this?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I’m in the matrix, Leonard, I see everything." } ]

[ { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "No, on the contrary. I found the Grinch to be a relatable, engaging character, and I was really with him right up to the point that he succumbed to social convention and returned the presents and saved Christmas. What a buzz kill that was." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "When we watch Frosty the Snowman, he roots for the sun." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Excuse me, but the sun is essential for all life on Earth. Frosty is merely a bit of frozen supernatural ephemera in a stolen hat. A crime, by the way, for which he is never brought to account." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It’s David Underhill. So what?" }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "So what? His observation of high-energy positrons has provided the first conclusive evidence for the existence of galactic dark matter." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "I have two words for you. The first is big, the other’s whoop." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "It is a big whoop. It made almost all the work you’ve done since you’ve been here completely useless." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Here we go." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "December 25, 1642, Julian calendar, Sir Isaac Newton is born. Jesus, on the other hand, was actually born in the summer. His birthday was moved to coincide with a traditional pagan holiday that celebrated the winter solstice with lit fires and slaughtered goats. Which, frankly, sounds like more fun than 12 hours of church with my mother followed by a fruitcake." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Merry Newton-mas, everyone." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "I sense that’s not sincere, although I have no idea why." } ]

[ { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It’s actually ho, ho, ho, but you’ll get the hang of it. Thought it’d be fun to make a quest with a holiday theme." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Fun? Mixing Dungeons and Dragons with Christmas is like making a sandwich of grape jelly, the best-tasting jelly, and petroleum jelly, the worst-tasting jelly." } ]

Any colour’s fine with me. Yeah, I could be a-a combination of blue and yellow." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Blue and yellow make green." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, then it’s settled." } ]

So as you can see, not only can you store your favourite equations, but you can forward them to your friends or post them on Facebook right from the app." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, I must say, I am impressed." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "Thanks." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "You all have clearly put in a lot of hard work." } ]

And you’re just going to spill the beans in front of an outsider?" } ]

I assume Koothranardowitz was taken?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "We’re actually scanning equations and getting good results." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Oh, well then, by all means, carry on. I wouldn’t want to impede your progress." } ]

The good question, while you do provide a certain cultural diversity to an otherwise homogenous group, your responses to the questionnaire were truly disturbing. How could you, for a moment, think that my favourite amino acid is Glutamine?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "He had Lysine but changed it." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Yeah. Shoulda, woulda coulda, Raj." } ]

And that’s my bid." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "You bid $800." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It was a spur of the moment thing, I figured it would go for thousands and I just wanted to be a part of it." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "There’s only 30 seconds left in the auction." } ]

Our idea is really good." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, the lightbulb in this oven is ridiculously bright." }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "You know, if no one’s thought of this, yet, this could be a big deal." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Only way we’ll know for sure is if we post it online to the pre-print server.

I wish this blog would devote itself to real science instead of wasting our time with crackpot wannabe theoreticians in a rush to publish." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Who wrote that?" }, { "from": "Leonard", "value": "It’s anonymous, and user name General Relativity." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "Well, I’m responding to it." } ]

I’ve been published in peer-reviewed journals, I received a Dissertation of the Year award for experimental particle physics." }, { "from": "Sheldon", "value": "No, that can’t be it.
