Quotes
Howard: (learning Leonard slept with Raj's sister Priya) I would never do that. Unlike him, I respect you.
Leonard: (skeptically) Really. Was it out of respect that you didn't tell Raj about the time you dropped his iPhone in a urinal?
Raj: (in outrage/disgust) Dude, I put that thing on my face!
Leonard: Can I have a snow cone?
Sheldon: Sure.
Leonard: This is pretty good. What flavor is this?
Sheldon: Guess.
Leonard: Papaya?
Sheldon: No.
Leonard: Guava?
Sheldon: You're so close.
Leonard: I give up.
Sheldon: Mango caterpillar.
(Leonard does a spit take and throws the snow cone in the garbage)
Sheldon: What are you doing!
(Leonard storms out)
Sheldon: You said you liked it.
Leonard: Okay fine, I'm, I'm a horrible human being. I'm the Darth Vader of Pasadena.
Sheldon: You're far too short to be Darth Vader. At best, you might be a turncoat Ewok.
Sheldon: The fun starts with brunch at Carney's in Studio City, a hot dog stand in a converted railroad dining car. Next stop, Travel Town, an outdoor museum featuring 43 railroad engines, cars and other rolling stock from the 1880s to the 1930s. Finally, we're off to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for dinner at, that's right, the Hollywood Carney's, a hot dog stand in a different converted railroad dining car.
Priya Koothrappali: I could never bring a white boy home to my parents. They'd have a cow - which is a much bigger deal in India.
Sheldon: (Describing the fake alibi he has invented for Leonard) You met her at Pasadena's most popular Irish watering hole, Lucky Baldwin's, where Maggie spends her nights tending bar, with a head full of curls and heart full of dreams.
(Hands Leonard a bar napkin)
Leonard: (Reading handwriting on napkin) "Leonard, call me if you're interested in *coitus.* Sincerely, Maggie Mcgarry."
Sheldon: And if anyone were to actually call that number, they will hear this.
(plays recording)
Female text-to-speech electronic voice: Top of the morning to you. You've reached Maggie McGarry. Leave a message at the wee little beep.
Raj: My sister is much hotter than your girlfriend, and you know it.
Howard: Let's just agree they're both hot.
Raj: What - ? Dude, that's my sister you're talking about!
Leonard: I admit it, I... I may have crossed a line here, but come on, Raj, your sister is a grown woman. And to her, I'm a forbidden piece of white chocolate.
Raj: (standing up to leave) I don't believe it. This is a terrible betrayal of my trust.
Leonard: No, no, no. Would it... would it help if I told you that I offered her my heart and she kind of stomped on it?
Raj: How hard did she stomp?
Leonard: Very hard.
Raj: (sitting down) Okay, I'm good.
Priya: Leonard, wake up.
Leonard: Huh? What? Uh, sorry.
Priya: For what?
Leonard: I don't know. When I'm in bed with a girl, it's my go-to response.
Howard: As long as we're talking about betraying our friends, how about the month Sheldon spent grinding up insects and mixing them into Leonard's food.
Sheldon: Well excuse me, that was not a betrayal. That was an experiment to determine at what concentration food start tasting "mothy".
Leonard: You put moths in my food?
Sheldon: For science.
Raj: I can't believe you kissed my sister with moth mouth.
Raj: You slept with my sister?
Leonard: Yeah.
Howard: How could you? We had a pact!
Raj: Excuse me, I think "How could you? She's my sister" takes precedence over a five year old pinkie swear.
Howard: This is the worst cobbler I've ever eaten. It tastes like it's made of actual ground-up shoe maker.
Leonard: I'm sorry, Raj, but the truth is I was with Priya last night.
Sheldon: Don't listen to him. He's still light-headed from all the Irish whiskey and pickled eggs in his system.
Raj: What were you doing with Priya?
Sheldon: (throwing it out there like it's no big deal) I believe they engaged in coitus.
Notes and Trivia
Lucky Baldwin's, the Irish pub that Sheldon references, is actually a real pub located in Pasadena, CA. The address is 17 S Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105.
Raj refers to Priya as his "baby sister" when announcing her visit. Aarti Mann, who plays Priya, is actually three years older than Kunal Nayyar, who plays Raj.
Sheldon references a Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake. There actually is a Bob's Big Boy at 4211 West Riverside Drive in the Toluca Lake (Burbank) area of California.
The only episode where none of the 3 main women (Amy, Penny and Bernadette) appear.
This episode and the previous one, The Desperation Emanation (2010), are the only episodes in which Penny doesn't appear, due to Kaley Cuoco's horseback riding accident where she broke her leg.
