Vernee Watson as the ER nurse in the Big Bang Theory episode with Howard and the robot hand.

(Over the PA) I need an orderly with a wheelchair. We have a robot hand grasping a man’s penis.

Howard: Couldn’t you be a little more discreet?

Nurse: I’m sorry. We don’t have a code for “robot hand grasping a man’s penis”.

Also her response to Howard when she asks where the rest of the robot is, and Howard tells her he only built the hand. “Because that’s all you needed.”

Oh, yeah. So many good ones from non-cast members. Going from memory here:

I did not particularly care for Brad Pitt until I saw _ **True Romance** _. I was instantly converted because I loved the character and Pitt’s performance. 👍

Richard Brooks portrayed Jubal Early for one episode of Firefly and left such a huge impression, my wife and I still quote it today:

So many quotes, his entire part is one large quotable part.

[to a doctor] “You oughta be shot. Or stabbed, lose a leg. To be a surgeon, you know? Know what kind of pain you’re dealing with. They make psychiatrists get psychoanalyzed before they can get certified, but they don’t make a surgeon get cut on. That seem right to you?”

This exchange:

[Simon](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0536883/?ref_=tt_ch) : Are you Alliance?

[Jubal Early](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1444462/?ref_=tt_ch) : Am I a lion?

[Simon](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0536883/?ref_=tt_ch) : What?

[Jubal Early](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1444462/?ref_=tt_ch) : I don’t think of myself as a lion. You might as well though, I have a mighty roar.

[Simon](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0536883/?ref_=tt_ch) : I said “Alliance.”

[Jubal Early](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1444462/?ref_=tt_ch) : Oh, I thought…

[Simon](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0536883/?ref_=tt_ch) : No, I was…

[Jubal Early](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1444462/?ref_=tt_ch) : That’s weird.
