Sheldon: Roommates agree that Friday nights will be set aside for watching Joss Whedon's brilliant new television series Firefly.
Leonard: Does that really need to be in the agreement?

Sheldon: I had the same feeling when I made my dad buy a Betamax instead of a VHS.
Amy: You were just a little kid.
Sheldon: Yeah, a little kid who picked the wrong format to record The MacNeil/Lehrer Report. Now I also was certain that HD DVD would win out over Blu-ray.
Amy: How old were you then?
Sheldon: Old enough to know better. You know, and now that I think about it, I stood in front of a case of iPods and I bought a Zune.
Amy: What’s a Zune?
Sheldon: Yeah, exactly. It’s an MP3 player brought to us by the makers of Xbox.

(After the player defeats Hustlebones for the first time)
Hustlebones: That frickin' hurt, bro... even these tough bones have their limits! Why all the violence, anyway? There's plenty of Styxcoin to go around!
Jackie: I'd never even heard of Styxcoin before I came down that slide. All I want is your Relic, dude.
Hustlebones: You sure I can't buy you off? STX is valuable, yo! The value's gonna skyrocket any day now! We'll all be riding Jaabs on the moon, bro!
Jackie: I find that hard to believe. You've been down here HOW long already? I think I'll just take what I came here for and get out, thanks.
Hustlebones: Suit yourself, nocoiner! You'll be kickin' yourself in a few years, when the rest of us are all balling out in Neo Hawaii and you're still working your crummy day job!

"Dodo Rider believes dodos are the future of transportation. He believes a public dodo-riding system is not only a wise expenditure of tax dollars but would help the vast majority of zombies get where they need to go more efficiently. Everyone keeps telling him there's no future in dodos, but he refuses to listen."
