Quotes 

• Zack : You know, I saw this great thing on the Discovery Channel. Turns out that if you kill a starfish, it'll just come back to life.

  Sheldon Cooper : Was the starfish wearing boxer shorts? Because you might have been watching Nickelodeon.

  Zack : No, I'm almost sure that it was the Discovery Channel. It was a great show. They also said dolphins might be smarter than people.

  Leonard Hofstadter : They might be smarter than some people.

  Zack : Maybe we can do an experiment to find out.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's easy enough. We need a large tank of water, a hoop to jump through, and a bucket of whatever bite-sized treats you find tasty.

  [the guys laugh at him] 

  Zack : I don't get it.

  Leonard Hofstadter : A dolphin might.

  Zack : Oh, I see. You guys are inferring that I'm stupid.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's not correct. We were implying it. You then inferred it.

• Penny : What the hell is wrong with you?

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm The Flash. I just knocked 30,000 times.

• Zack : Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane.

  [Zack jumps into Sheldon and Leonard's apartment in his Superman costume] 

  Zack : I forget the rest.

  Penny : [Enters wearing a Wonder Woman costume with a low-cut top]  All right. Let's get this thing over with.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm sorry. But in what universe is Wonder Woman blonde?

  Howard Wolowitz : Relax. No one's gonna be looking at her hair.

  [Penny punches Wolowitz in his shoulder] 

  Howard Wolowitz : Ow! I mean...

  Howard Wolowitz : [in gravelly voice]  Ow.

• Howard Wolowitz : Okay, the good news is, we have a Wonder Woman.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh.

  Raj Koothrappali : Yes.

  Sheldon Cooper : What's the bad news?

  Howard Wolowitz : Superman probably isn't getting laid tonight.

  Zack : [Looks down at his Superman costume]  Aw, damn.

• Sheldon Cooper : Amy Farrah Fowler doesn't believe in wearing costumes. She isn't the free spirit I am.

• Penny : I'm still mad at you.

  Zack : Well, you won't be when you hear the great news.

  Penny : What great news?

  Zack : We're going to a costume party at the comic book store on New Years Eve, and you get to be Wonder Woman.

  Sheldon Cooper : Complete with bulletproof bracelets and lasso of truth. Invisible plane sold separately.

• Raj Koothrappali : Oh, great. No Superman, no Wonder Woman? All we've got is a skinny Flash, an Indian Aquaman, a nearsighted Green Lantern, and a teeny, tiny Dark Knight.

  Sheldon Cooper : Obviously, we're no longer a Justice League. We have no choice but to switch to our Muppet Baby costumes.

  Raj Koothrappali : Ooh, I call Kermit.

  Sheldon Cooper : I'm Kermit. You're Scooter.

  Raj Koothrappali : Oh, man. Scooter sucks. He's the Aquaman of the Muppet Babies.

• Howard Wolowitz : [in gravelly voice]  I'm Batman.

  Sheldon Cooper : Oh, I hardly think so. The real Caped Crusader calls his crime-fighting cohorts when he's running late.

  Howard Wolowitz : I had to walk. I couldn't get Raj on the back of my scooter.

  [Raj walks inside in his Aquaman costume with attached seahorse] 

  Raj Koothrappali : I've said this before and I'll say it again, Aquaman sucks.

• [last lines] 

  Leonard Hofstadter : Look, I know our winter thermostat setting is seventy-two degrees, but I'm a little warm so I'm going to turn it down.

  Sheldon Cooper : [runs to the Grand Canyon as The Flash]  Good Lord, how you frustrate me, Leonard Hofstadter!

  [runs back to the apartment and becomes himself] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Fine.

• Zack : I haven't been to a comic book store in literally a million years.

  Sheldon Cooper : Literally? Literally a million years?

• [first lines] 

  Raj Koothrappali : [playing a card]  Water Demon.

  Howard Wolowitz : [playing a card]  Ice Dragon.

  Leonard Hofstadter : [playing a card]  Lesser Warlord of Ka'a.

  Sheldon Cooper : Not so fast.

  [playing a card] 

  Sheldon Cooper : Infinite Sheldon.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Infinite Sheldon?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yes. Infinite Sheldon, it beats all other cards - and does not violate the rule against homemade cards because I made it at work.

  Leonard Hofstadter : You understand why people don't want to play with you?

  Sheldon Cooper : No. Although it's a question I've been pondering since preschool.

• Howard Wolowitz : Check it out; those guys are breaking into that car'

  Leonard Hofstadter : What should we do?

  Sheldon Cooper : We're the Justice League of America. There's only one thing we *can* do: turn around and slowly walk away.

• Zack : [entering the comic book store]  Where do they keep the Archies?

  Sheldon Cooper : In the bedrooms of ten-year-old girls, where they belong.

  Zack : Oh, no, you're thinking old-school Archie. It's much more sophisticated now. Like, there's two universes, and Archie's married to Betty in one and Veronica in the other. Midge is even breaking up with Moose.

• Sheldon Cooper : Wonder Woman was an Amazon. And Amazons tend to be very beefy gals.

  Penny : Goodbye, Sheldon!

  [slams the door] 

  Sheldon Cooper : But they're not blond, so put on your wig!

• Leonard Hofstadter : [about apologizing to Zack]  What would I even say?

  Sheldon Cooper : "Zack, I'm sorry you're stupid. Have a Milk Dud."

  Raj Koothrappali : A Milk Dud?

  Sheldon Cooper : Yeah. Milk Duds, with their self-deprecating name and remarkably mild flavor are the most apologetic of the boxed candies.

• Leonard Hofstadter : You can't replace me with Zack.

  Sheldon Cooper : Why not? Penny did.

  Howard Wolowitz : Yeah, she seems happier. Why wouldn't we be?

• Sheldon Cooper : It occurs to me that we might have an opportunity to finally snare Best Group Costume if we shore up our weak link, which is clearly Leonard as Superman.

  Leonard Hofstadter : Hey, I got new boots this year, guaranteed to add 3 inches.

  Sheldon Cooper : That's sad. Let's ask ourselves, is there anyone we know who would make a more manly and convincing son of Krypton?

  Stuart Bloom : Than Leonard in high-heel boots? Howard's mother in high-heel boots?
