Raj: Holy crap! Look! Leonard: Is that who I think it is? Howard: It can’t be. What would Summer Glau be doing riding the train? Leonard: Maybe John Connor’s aboard and she’s protecting him from an evil Terminator. Sheldon: Unlikely. That’s a television show, Leonard. Leonard: Thank you. Sheldon: Of course, if SkyNet actually did exist in the future, a perfect way to infiltrate and destroy mankind would be to send Terminators back posing as actors who have played Terminators in popular films and television series, lulling us into a false sense of security, i.e., that’s Summer Glau from The Sarah Connor Chronicles. No, Summer, don’t kill me! I’m pro-robot! Ahh! -- Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady -- The Big Bang Theory S02E17 (The Terminator Decoupling) ( http://bigbangtrans.wordpress.com/series-2-episode-17-the-terminator-decoupling/ ) % Howard: Sheldon, I owe you an apology. Taking the train was a stroke of brilliance! I’ve actually got a shot at a Terminator [= Summer Glau]. Raj: Oh, please.When it comes to Terminators, you’ve got a better shot of scoring with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Howard: You’re overlooking something. I have 11 hours with her in a confined space. Unless she’s willing to jump off a moving train, tuck and roll down the side of a hill, she will eventually succumb to the acquired taste that is Howard Wolowitz. Leonard: My money’s on tuck and roll. -- Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady -- The Big Bang Theory S02E17 (The Terminator Decoupling) ( http://bigbangtrans.wordpress.com/series-2-episode-17-the-terminator-decoupling/ ) % Sheldon: I’m confused. I thought you were involved in some sort of socially intimate pairing with Leslie Winkle. Howard: Sheldon, let me explain to you how this works. Sheldon: All right. Howard: That’s Summer Glau. Sheldon: Yes? Howard: That’s it. Raj: Hang on a sec. Why do you get first crack at her? Howard: Um, well, let’s see, couple reasons. One, I saw her first. Raj: No, you didn’t. I did. Howard: Fair enough. But then let me move on to number two, unlike you, I can actually talk to women when I’m sober. Raj: You fail to take into account that even mute, I am foreign and exotic, while you, on the other hand, are frail and pasty. Howard: Well, you know the old saying, pasty and frail never fail. Leonard: Excuse me, but what about me? Why don’t I get a shot? Howard: Fine, go ahead. Take a shot. Leonard: You know, I’ve already got a gorgeous blonde back home that I can’t score with. I think I’ll let you two take this one. -- Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady -- The Big Bang Theory S02E17 (The Terminator Decoupling) ( http://bigbangtrans.wordpress.com/series-2-episode-17-the-terminator-decoupling/ ) % [Penny’s Apartment: Leonard and Penny finished watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer] Leonard: So, did you love it? Of course you loved it. How could you not love it? Tell me how much you loved it. Penny: It was cute! Leonard: Oh, don’t say cute. That’s the worst. Penny: What’s wrong with cute? Leonard: It just makes things seem small. It diminishes them. -- Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady -- The Big Bang Theory S06E21 (The Closure Alternative) ( http://bigbangtrans.wordpress.com/series-6-episode-21-the-closure-alternative/ )
