Howard Wolowitz:
Well, that's it. My orders have been rescinded; I am officially no-go to space.

Leonard Hofstadter:
I'm sorry, Howard. But I gotta tell you, I'm a little relieved you're not going.

Howard Wolowitz:
Why?

Leonard Hofstadter:
Come on, you were gonna go up in a rocket designed in the 1960s by the Russians.

Howard Wolowitz:
Yeah, so?

Leonard Hofstadter:
When was the last time you were at Best Buy and you heard someone say, "Ooh, check out this Blu-Ray player, it must be good, it was built in Russia."?

Howard Wolowitz:
Well, their technology isn't that bad.

Raj Koothrappali:
When you come back to Earth in a Soyuz capsule, you free fall, from space, at 500 miles per hour, and the only thing that slows you down is a little parachute that pops out right before you crash into the ground. And the whole thing was designed by the same brilliant minds who were unable to capture Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Howard Wolowitz:
Right, well, whatever. I wasn't worried.

Raj Koothrappali:
You weren't?

Howard Wolowitz:
Let me explain the difference between you and me. You watch Star Trek; I live it.

Raj Koothrappali:
Oh, please, I don't remember the episode of Star Trek where the guy never goes to space, and brags about it in a tuxedo store.

Howard Wolowitz:
Make all the jokes you want, but there's only one of us here brave enough to almost do what I almost did.

Sheldon Cooper:
Ah, much better!

Leonard Hofstadter:
You must be burning up

Sheldon Cooper:
A little. But not more than your urethras will be after whatever's in those pants swims up them. Well, I cut quite the dashing yet hygienic figure, don't I? I look like The Flash, about to get married. Oh, a tissue! A tissue! Oh, good Lord!

Jimmy:
Uh, where is he going?

Leonard Hofstadter:
He keeps emergency Purell in the car.
