Big Bang theory
Leonard: Hi, I’m Leonard, this is Sheldon.
Sheldon: Hello.
Leonard: What did I just…. Uh, we’re here to pick up Penny’s TV.
Voice: Get lost.
Sheldon: Okay, thanks for your time.
Leonard: We’re not going to give up just like that.
Sheldon: Leonard, the TV is in the building, we’ve been denied access to the building, ergo we are done.
Leonard: Excuse me, if I were to give up at the first little hitch I never would have been able to identify the fingerprints of string theory in the aftermath of the big bang.

Unrelated to the question at hand, Big Bang Theory is a comedy, not a drama. (Just thought I'd work on your vocabulary while this thread was open.)

The vocabulary words I meant were "comedy" and "drama."
Since you used the wrong word, I thought I'd point that out so you could make sure you had those two vocabulary words properly sorted in your head.
