The Locomotion Reverberation


 * Sheldon (to Amy in her fantasy): May I borrow your water?
 * (Sheldon drenches the water on his body as "Rock You Like a Hurricane plays in the background")
 * Sheldon: The light's green. (Amy snaps out of it)
 * Amy: Sorry.
 * Sheldon: GPS says we'll be at the railway in three hours.
 * Amy: I can get us there in two. (steps on the gas pedal)

[first lines]
 * Howard: OK. I'm zeroing out the electro-osmotic flow rate in the micro-fluidic channel.
 * Leonard: Nicely done, Howard.
 * Howard: Well, my wife is four foot ten and sexually satisfied, so clearly I know my way around tiny things.
 * Leonard: Good for you. On the cutting edge of new technology and still making inappropriate comments about the mother of your child...
 * Howard: And those are just the things I say out loud.
 * Sheldon Gentlemen, we need to stop immediately.
 * Howard: What's wrong?
 * Sheldon I've been looking at the math, and I think we can make the device between eight and ten percent smaller.
 * Sheldon That's great,but the Air Force approved the specs; we're good to go.
 * Howard: Yeah, it doesn't need to be smaller.
 * Sheldon Shame on you! Where would we be if poodle breeders had that attitude? I'll tell you: we would have the standard and miniature poodle, but no toy or teacup. Which, by the way, is not an official breed, but that's just poodle politics.
 * Leonard: Can we please stop talking about poodles!
 * Sheldon Fine. Candy bars! Now, do you enjoy a fun size? I know you do.
 * Howard: Sheldon,we don't need to make this smaller and your work is done. Go home.
 * Sheldon I don't want to go home.
 * Leonard: Fine. Go for little walk.
 * Sheldon Then what?
 * Leonard: Just keep walking.


 * Bernadette: Sorry, Howie's back at work and there's just so much going on.
 * Amy: Is there anything we can do?
 * Bernadette: Sure: open up a college fund, shop for life insurance, and in the laundry room there's a mountain of dirty laundry. Wash it or burn it; your choice.


 * Stuart: Instead of arguing all night, let's just split up the baby chores.
 * Raj: Yeah, great. Um, I'll put food in the top half; you deal with whatever comes out the bottom.


 * Howard: Open a window; it's about to get smug in here.

 * Sheldon GPS says we'll be at the railway in three hours.
 * Amy: I can get us there in two.


 * Leonard: You know, I do have a way to get him out of our hair. I've been holding on to this for a few years, but maybe now's the time.
 * Howard: We can just lock the door, you don't have to kill him.
 * Leonard: You can't kill him. He just respawns at the last save point.


 * Colonel Williams: [Pointing at Sheldon's board] What's this?
 * Leonard: Oh, nothing. Just some math we don't need.
 * Colonel Williams: This is a different approach. You're trying to make the guidance system even smaller?
 * Leonard: It's just a theory, it's not even worked out.
 * Colonel Williams: Oh. I want this.
 * Howard: But we already met the agreed-upon specs. Going smaller would require weeks of new computations.
 * Colonel Williams: So get the kid with the two shirts to do it.
 * Leonard: Sir, if I may, we've put a lot of thought and effort into making the current prototype. It's a really elegant solution, and most importantly, it works.
 * Colonel Williams: Yeah, I want this.
 * Howard: It's just a theory. It's not even a complete thought.
 * Colonel Williams: You both make excellent points. Thank you for presenting it so articulately. Make this.
 * Howard: The kid with the two shirts screwed us again.


 * Sheldon I'm an engineer now. And just so we're clear, a train engineer. Not the goofy kind you are.


 * Penny: Great. You guys ready to get crazy?
 * Amy: Well, the bra under here isn't beige.


 * Sheldon In the world of theoretical physics, you never finish. So much is unprovable. But when I was studying that railway guide, it was so tangible and so satisfying that something just clicked. Then it clacked. Then it clicked and clacked, click-clack, clickety-clack and here we are! Whoo-whoo!
