Speaking of quotes - this exchange is amazing:
Leonard: Do you want to join us for Thai food and a Superman movie marathon?
Penny: Wow, a marathon, how many Superman movies are there?
Sheldon: You're kidding, right?
Penny: You know, I do like the one where Lois Lane falls from the helicopter and Superman swooshes down and catches her. Which one was that?
Leonard Sheldon Wolowitz: One [Raj holds up one finger]
Sheldon: You know that scene was rife with scientific inaccuracies?
Penny: Yes, I know men can't fly...
Sheldon: No, no, let's assume that they can...Lois Lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32 feet per second per second...Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel...Miss Lane, who is know traveling at approximately 120 miles an hour, hits them and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.
Leonard: Unless Superman matches her speed and decelerates.
Sheldon: In what space, sir, in what space? She's two feet above the ground. Frankly, if he really loved her, he'd let her hit the pavement. It'd be a more merciful death.
Leonard: Well, excuse me! Your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Superman's flight is a feat of strength.
Sheldon: Are you listening to yourself? It is well established that Superman's flight is a feat of strength. It is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from Earth's yellow sun!
Wolowitz: And you don't have a problem with that? How does he fly at night?
Sheldon: Uh, a combination of the Moon's solar reflection, and the energy storage capacity of Kryptonian skin cells.
Leonard: I have 26 hundred comic books in there; I challenge you to find one reference to "Kryptonian skin cells".
Sheldon: Challenge accepted.
Science of Superman - watch the clip here.
Leonard: Do you realize that if Penny wakes up there is no reasonable explanation as to why we're here.
Sheldon: I just gave you a reasonable explanation.
Leonard: No you just gave me an explanation; it's reasonableness will be determined by a jury of your peers.
Sheldon: Don't be ridiculous...I have no peers.
A friend of mine has some close associations with the producers and the creative team behind the show. She got me hooked on the show - and now I can't stop. It airs on CBS on Monday's at 8pm. Please watch!!!
