Quotes

Sheldon: (while looking at a menu) And look over here, 'Shrimp in Mobster Sauce'. What is mobster sauce?
Leonard: It's obviously a typo.
Sheldon: Hmm, perhaps. Or perhaps this restaurant's now a front for organised crime. For all we know the mobster sauce contains actual chunks of deceased mobsters.
Raj: No, no, no, no. I think it just means it's the kind of sauce that mobsters like.
Howard: It doesn't mean any of that. It's a typo.

Sheldon: In the meantime, please forward my mail.
Leonard: Any place specific or just the Bozeman, Montana loony bin.
Sheldon: I sense you're making a joke, but Bozeman does have a comedy club called the Loony Bin, so do not forward my mail there.

Sheldon: I do not have to urinate. I am master of my own bladder.
(Beat)
Sheldon: Drat!

Sheldon: (Arriving in Bozeman, Montana) That is a bracing cold, an invigorating cold. Lord, is it cold!
Young Man: Uh, help you with your bag, sir?
Sheldon: Thank you, fellow Bozite! And may I say, you are the living embodiment of all the promises made by our lovely town's Chamber of Commerce.
(Man runs off with Sheldon's bags)
Sheldon: Wait!
(Runs out)
Sheldon: Wait! Excuse me!
(Returns and goes to ticket counter)
Sheldon: One ticket to Pasadena, California, please.

Howard: (as Sheldon enters) Hey! Look who's back!
Sheldon: Interesting. The acquaintance is the first to greet me.

Howard: Oh, come on. So you were the victim of a crime. That's part of life. When my great-grandfather first came to this country, he put all his hopes and dreams into this little butcher shop he ran on the Lower East Side of New York. You know what happened? Every customer who walked into that butcher shop and asked for a pound of liver, got ripped off. But, those people moved on, and so should you.
Sheldon: I am moving on. I'm going to be a Bozite.
Leonard: They call themselves Bozites?
Sheldon: They should. It's one of the first things I plan to bring up upon arrival.
Leonard: Sheldon, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to miss you.
Sheldon: Please, Penny, as you know, I'm not comfortable with prolonged good-byes and maudlin displays of emotion, so I prepared a short video. - - Greetings. As you know, I'm not comfortable with prolonged good-byes and maudlin displays of emotion, so I prepared this short video. The four of you are three of my closest friends and one treasured acquaintance. Though I cannot state categorically that my life will be diminished by not having you in it, I am comfortable if you choose to believe that. Since you intend to remain in this lawless metropolitan area, statistics suggest that you will succumb to tragic and gruesome ends before we meet again. Live long and prosper.

Sheldon: You know, the more I think about it, the 'mobster sauce' couldn't possibly contain chunks of mobster.
Leonard: And why is that?
Sheldon: It was listed under seafood.
Leonard: What if they were mobsters who slept with the fishes?
(laughs)
Sheldon: Leonard, are we having a serious conversation or not?

Howard: Boy, seems like forever since the four of us have been out to eat, you know, just the guys.
Raj: Oh God! Yes, we get it; you have a girlfriend now.
Howard: A little jealous are we?
Raj: No, I'm not jealous.
(the other 3 stare at him)
Raj: All right, I'd kill a hobo if it'll get me laid. Now can we order.

Sheldon: They took our TV, two laptops, four external hard-drives, our PS2, our PS3, our X-Box, our X-Box 360, our classic Nintendo, our Super Nintendo, our Nintendo 64 and our Wii.
Leonard: We like games.
Sheldon: Right, games. They took Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 1, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Final Fantasy 1 through 9, The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics... and Ms. Pac-Man.
Officer Hackett: (writing) Assorted video games.

Sheldon: Oh dear Lord, they redid the menu.
Leonard: So what? Its the same food.
Sheldon: Oh, is it? Look at this. General Tso's chicken is no longer listed under 'specialties'; it's now under 'chicken'.
Raj: So?
Sheldon: Yes, General Tso.
Raj: Not 'Tso' the chicken, 'so' the question.
Sheldon: So why is it no longer a specialty? Did the chef lose confidence in the dish or himself?

Leonard: Where did you get all this stuff?
Howard: Eh, I got a buddy over at the Department of Defense.
Leonard: He just *gave* it to you?
Howard: I'm sure he would've if I'd asked. Ironically, their security isn't all that good.

Penny: Come on, Sheldon, you can't move. Don't you need to stay in one place so the mother ship can find you when it returns?
Sheldon: Oh, if that were only true.

Penny: I can't believe it! If I hadn't been working the dinner shift, I would've run right into the robbers.
Leonard: Hey, there's no reason for you to be scared.
Penny: I'm not scared.
(picks up baseball bat)
Penny: I would have gone all Nebraska on their asses.

Sheldon: My new computer came with Windows 7. Windows 7 is much more user friendly than Windows Vista. I don't like that.

Leonard: Would I be completely out of line for me to ask you to shoot him?
Officer Hackett: I'd be happy to put him under a seventy-two hour psychiatric hold.
Sheldon: I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.

Notes and Trivia

Just before Sheldon arrives in Bozeman, the insert with atoms shows one of the orbiting electrons with a map of the United States, in reference to the map that Sheldon has just been using to choose his destination.

Sheldon's map shows two other cities in Montana which are crossed out, which seem to be Helena and Miles City.

The video games that Sheldon had stolen are: Call of Duty (2003), Call of Duty 2 (2005), Call of Duty 3 (2006), Final Fantasy (1987), Final Fantasy II (1988), Final Fantasy IX (2000), Final Fantasy V (1992), Final Fantasy VII (1997), Final Fantasy IV (1991), Final Fantasy VI (1994), Final Fantasy VIII (1999), Halo: Combat Evolved (2001), Halo 2 (2004), Halo 3 (2007), Ms. Pac-Man (1982), Rock Band (2007), Super Mario Bros. (1985), Super Mario Galaxy (2007), The Legend of Zelda (1986), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006) and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998).

When leaving the apartment, Officer Hackett refers to the other officer as Bochco. Steven Bochco is well known for creating police shows such as NYPD Blue (1993) and Hill Street Blues (1981)
