Quotes

Penny: What'll you have to drink?
Sheldon: Usually I have some chamomile tea, but I'm pretty upset. I don't think that's going to cut it.
Penny: How about a Long Island iced tea?
Sheldon: Will that do the charm?
Penny: It's charmed the pants off of me a couple of times.

Howard: My plaid dickie! Can you believe I got this at Goodwill for fifty cents?
Bernadette: Fifty cents. That sounds about right.

Wil Wheaton: Sheldon, do you really think we're going to fight?
Sheldon: My fists are not up here because I'm milking a giant, invisible cow.

Amy: He was overacting on purpose.
Sheldon: Really? He reminded me of a young William Shatner.

Sheldon: Hello. I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper. And welcome to Sheldon Cooper Presents: Fun with Flags. Before we get started, I'd like to announce the winner of our Design Your Own Flag competition, but I can't. The only entry was from gamygamer seventy-five, and I know that was a jpeg of your buttocks. Now, this week we have a very special episode where we explore the flags of the popular entertainment franchise 'Star Trek', and to help me I'm pleased to introduce internet personality, uh, former star of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation', and the only guy I know lucky enough to be immortalized in one-sixteenth scale... Set phasers to fun! for my friend, Wil Wheaton.

Howard: (about his mother) She was just so sad all the time. I was the only person who could cheer her up. Well, me and Ben and Jerry.

Raj: (as they pack up Howard's room) Wow. It's the end of an era.
Howard: If these walls could talk.
Leonard: They would say "why is he touching himself so much?"
Howard: Yeah.

Wil Wheaton: Excuse me, but I've been acting since I was a child. I think I can handle a little web show.
Sheldon: It's true. In 1982 he played the voice of Martin the mouse in The Secret of NIMH. You moved me.

Sheldon: I need to have a talk about women.
Penny: I always knew we would have this talk sooner or later. Are you finally getting fuzz in weird places?
Sheldon: I'm in the horns of a relationship dilemma. And for the record, I had a full pubis of hair since I was nineteen.
Penny: I see, and for the record...
(makes gagging sound)

Wil Wheaton: You do know I'm doing this for free.
Amy: Yes, and so far we're not getting our money's worth.

Leonard: (after Sheldon comes in) Look who's staying up late like a big boy.

Wil Wheaton: Are you drunk?
Sheldon: Just tea. Best tea I've ever had.

Howard: I remember I sat under this very desk with all my Halloween candy. I ate some peanut M&Ms, had my first anaphylactic shock, had to go to the hospital, celebrated with a Snickers bar, had my second anaphylactic shock...
Raj: When did you figure out you were allergic to nuts?
Howard: About the time I had my third Almond Joy.

Penny: You're from Texas. You're supposed to stand up and defend the honor of your woman folk.
Sheldon: Penny, please. I think I've evolved beyond my simple, rustic upbringing. On the other hand, that low-down polecat done wronged my woman.
Penny: Welcome to Long Island, Tex.

Amy: Your friend was rude to me and you should have taken my side. Good night, Sheldon.
(Logs off)
Sheldon: Wow. Amy's mad at me and Leonard was right. What a weird day.

Penny: Sorry this took so long, but you used to work here - you know how it is.
Bernadette: Kitchen slammed again?
Penny: No, I'm a terrible waitress, remember?

Sheldon: The trouble isn't with me, Penny, it's with your gender. Someday scientists will discover that second X chromosome contains nothing but nonsense and twaddle.

(Sheldon is excusing himself from Wil Wheaton to talk with Amy)
Sheldon: I'll be right back.
(hands Wil a Wesley Crusher action figure)
Sheldon: Feel free to play with yourself.

Sheldon: (drunkenly confronting Wil) As a matter of idle curiosity, which of your shrubberies do you feel would benefit from a thorough vomiting?
(trying to hold back)
Sheldon: Never mind, I'll choose.
(leans over the railing and vomits)

Mrs. Wolowitz: Howard, help! My hand is caught in the garbage disposal!
Howard: Just let go of whatever food you're holding!
Mrs. Wolowitz: Are you kidding? It's a perfectly good chicken leg!

Sheldon: Hello. I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Welcome to Sheldon Cooper Presents: Fun with Flags. Get ready for a very special episode where we explore the flags of the popular entertainment franchise 'Star Trek', and to help us I'm pleased to introduce a special guest - surprisingly it only took gas money and the promise of free food to get him here - Mr. LeVar Burton.
LeVar Burton: Hey, Sheldon, it's a pleasure to be here. Well, we've got some interesting flags...
Amy: Cut! Yikes! The guy is worse than Wil Wheaton.
Sheldon: (to leVar) I don't know what she's talking about, but I'm obligated to agree with her. She's my girlfriend.
LeVar Burton: Ahh, I hear you, brother. I still get lunch, right?

Notes and Trivia

In the opening scene, Wil Wheaton is wearing The Guild (2007) shirt. Up until the previous year, he had been playing a recurring role in that series.

This is the first time in any of Wil Wheaton's appearances that the audience makes any kind of reaction when he is first seen.

When Sheldon goes to Wil Wheaton's home, his house number (1701) is visible. 1701 is the number in the registry for the U.S.S. Enterprise-D (NCC-1701-D) in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) in which Wheaton appeared.
