"Penny for your thoughts?" Penny asked, sliding into the booth with a tray of drinks.

"It’s not an experiment, Sheldon," Leonard snapped. "I just bought a box of 'Colon’s Best' and I’ve been stuck in a feedback loop.

"I actually find it fascinating," Raj said, sipping his water. "In India, we respect the grain. But Leonard, you’re looking at it all wrong. You aren't the victim of the bran. You are the pioneer! You are the Neil Armstrong of the small intestine."
