The Big Bang Theory ...




Amy: This is an easy one. You love this guy.
Sheldon: Me. 
Amy: Come on, he's an underappreciated genius.
Sheldon: Still think it's me.
Amy:  It's not you. Now think, there's a car named after him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
to give someone or something the same name as someone or something elseespeciallythe same first name as a member of your family: Albert was named after his grandfather.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheldon: Of course there is. The Mini Cooper,'cause it's me.
Amy:  How about this: he's a poor man's Sheldon Cooper.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Useful Expression: A poor man's something 
Something or someone that can be compared to something or someone else, but is not as good is a poor man's version; a writer who uses lots of puns but isn't very funny would be a poor man's Oscar Wilde.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheldon: Oh, Tesla.
Leonard: Hi
Sheldon: How'd it go?
Leonard: Oh, not fun. The doctor shoved a camera up into my sinuses.
Penny: Yeah, I watched. It was like the scary boat tunnel, Willy Wonka. 
Amy: Did they figure out what's wrong?
Leonard: Yeah. It's a deviated septum. The surgery to correct it is simple.
Penny: He's gonna do it next week.
Sheldon: Why would you have surgery?
Leonard: Because I can't breathe. I snore, I get sinus infections...
Penny: Yeah, back off, he's all mine.
Sheldon: But you don't have a life-threatening condition. Why would you take the risk of surgery?
Amy: Sheldon, it's a routine procedure. I've heard you complain about his snoring.
Sheldon: We... Yes, for the first five or six years, but I've gotten used to it. It helps me sleep. He's like my mucus-powered white noise machine.
Leonard: Sheldon, I'm gonna get the surgery, it's no big deal. End of story.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Useful Expression: End of story (informal)
something that you say when you think that the opinion you have just expressed about something is correct and that there is no other possible way of thinking about it If you don't have themoney, you don't spend it. End of story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheldon: Very well. I'm done talking about it.
Leonard: Thank you.  
Sheldon: I believe it was your turn in the game.
Amy: Okay.
Sheldon: Let's see...Oh, this person is most famous for never having gotten his nose mutilated with elective surgery and never living the rest of his life in the shadows as a hideous, disfigured freak.
Leonard: I think you could give a better clue.
Sheldon:  I don't. I'm not even sure if that's a person or a typo.

♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪

Leonard: Okay, why?
Sheldon: I'm listening to you snore. I'm wondering how I'll ever sleep without it.
Leonard:  If it helps you sleep, then why are you sitting here staring at me, like the albino boogeyman?
Sheldon:  Really, Leonard-- insults? After I spent two hours in your closet, waiting for you to fall asleep?


--------------------------------------------------------------------
Useful Expression: Fall asleep
 change from a waking to a sleeping state; "he always falls asleep during lectures"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leonard: What's your problem?
Sheldon: If the surgery is successful, the snoring is gone. And if you die during surgery......the snoring is gone. 
Leonard:  It sounds like either way, I finally get some rest.
Sheldon: I have to be honest with you Leonard, I'm truly worried.
Leonard: I-I told you, there's nothing to worry about.
Sheldon: Well, I've been doing some research and I've learned that one in 700,000 people die from general anesthesia.
Leonard: Buddy, w... Do you realize that that also means 699,999 people don't die?
Sheldon: I suppose that's true. You're such a glass half-full kind of guy. I'm going to miss that.

Raj: Oh, so, my, uh, parents' 40th anniversary's coming up. and I can't think of a thing to get them.
