The Classified Materials Turbulence


 * Leonard: (Phone rings) "Oh, it's Stuart"
 * Sheldon: (Phone continues to ring) "You're not going to answer it?"
 * Leonard: "He wants to talk about Penny. I don't want to talk about Penny."
 * Sheldon: "You're making an assumption. Perhaps the store is on fire and he is calling you for assistance."
 * Leonard: "Why would he call me?"
 * Sheldon: "We don't know. If you don't answer the phone, we can't know."
 * Leonard: "I'm not answering the phone, Sheldon."
 * Sheldon: (Phone continues to ring) "ANSWER THE PHONE, LEONARD!"
 * Leonard: "NO!" (phone stops ringing) "There. It went to voice mail."
 * Sheldon: "Aren't you going to check your message?"
 * Leonard: "No!"
 * Sheldon: "You have to check your messages, Leonard! The leaving of a message is one half of a social contract which is completed by the checking of the message. If that contract breaks down then all social contracts break down and we descend into anarchy!"
 * Leonard: "It must be hell inside your head."
 * Sheldon: [pause] "At times."


 * Leonard: No, no that’s the past. I’m really more of a right now kind of guy. You know, living in the moment. Although I do have to live a little in the future, ’cause, well, that’s my job. Of course, my fondness for classic science fiction does draw my attention backwards, but those stories often take place in the future. In conclusion, no, it doesn’t bother me.


 * Penny: Leonard, would you please pass the soy sauce.
 * Leonard: I'm sorry. Were you talking to me?
 * Penny: I did say "Leonard."
 * Leonard: Yes you did, didn't you.


 * ISS: Houston, International Space Station. We have a little situation up here. We’d like to make an unscheduled space walk.
 * Houston: ISS, Houston. Which crew members would be involved in this E.V.A.?
 * ISS: Houston, we’d all like to step outside for a few minutes.
 * Houston: ISS, I’m afraid we can’t authorize that.
 * ISS voice: Uh, Houston, this is more of an FYI call. We are basically out the door.
