Quotes

Howard: So, Mrs. Rostenkowski, you took that trip to the Grand Canyon. How was it?
Mrs. Rostenkowski: It was good.
Howard: (to Mike Rostenkowski) Had no idea you were the chatty one.

Sheldon: I'm going to draw you a soothing bath. Where's your bath thermometer?
Amy: I don't have a bath thermometer.
Sheldon: Fine. Then I'm going to draw you a nerve-wracking bath of indeterminate temperature.

Raj: Can we change the subject? Spiders give me the jeebie-jeebies.
Howard: It's heebie-jeebies.
Raj: I know, but that sounds anti-Semitic. Anyway, I was thinking we could have a little film festival tonight. The theme, movies that killed their franchises.
Leonard: Ohhh, like Jaws 4, Indiana Jones 4, Daredevil 1.
Raj: Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. I mean, you know a movie's bad when my homegirl Sandy B can't save it.

Sheldon: You know, it's a tad old-school, but my father was not one to spare the rod when my brother would sneak into his truck and drink his driving whiskey.
Amy: Are you saying you want to spank me?

Amy: Sheldon. This isn't helping. Why don't you just let me get some rest?
Sheldon: Well, how can you sleep? I'm not done making you feel better. I still have to put a cold rag on your head, sing to you, and apply Vaporub to your chest.
Amy: Y-You- You want to rub something on my chest?
Sheldon: Yes. All over it.
Amy: (coughs) Maybe we should start with that.
Sheldon: Now you're being a responsible patient. Now, you may notice some tingling.
Amy: Oh, I'm counting on it.

Howard: Boy, we're just married to a couple of ball-busters, huh, Mike.
Mr. Rostenkowski: That's my wife and daughter you're talking about.
Howard: Great couple o' gals.
Mr. Rostenkowski: I wouldn't go that far.

Amy: (Sheldon spanks Amy) Oh my.
(giggles)
Sheldon: Excuse me. You're not supposed to be enjoying this.
Amy: Then maybe you should spank me harder.
Sheldon: Maybe I will.
(spanks her again)
Amy: Woo hoo!

Penny: Step one: worms.
Howard: Ewww.
Penny: Okay, right there, "ewww" is one of the things you're not gonna want to say in front of your father-in-law. It's right up there with "icky" and "get it away".

Sheldon: Is anyone else troubled by the Spiderman theme song?
Leonard: Why would it trouble you? It's like your third favorite cartoon theme song.
Sheldon: It is. It's right behind
(sings)
Sheldon: "Doo doo doo dod-doo, Inspecor gadget" and
(sings)
Sheldon: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Heroes on a half shell."
Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj: Turtle power!

Amy: I think I'm too sick to go to the funeral.
Sheldon: You're sick? You poor kid. Well, see ya.
Amy: Sheldon. Aren't you going to take care of me?
Sheldon: Me? No. No, I'm not that kind of doctor.
Amy: But our relationship agreement clearly states that when one of us is sick, the other must take care of them.
Sheldon: Oh. I see the confusion. No, the intent behind that clause was to force you to take care of me when I'm ill. When you're feeling better, you'll think that's funny.

Howard: Really? Your wife makes you do stuff? You're a big, scary cop.
Mr. Rostenkowski: You're an astronaut, and your wife makes you do things, and she's only four feet tall.

Notes and Trivia

First and last appearance of Meagen Fay as Bernadette's mother. Mrs. Rostenkowski was first seen from above in The Countdown Reflection (2012), but she wore a big hat and was played by an uncredited extra.

The game that the guys are playing in the opening scene is Ticket to Ride.

The scene in which Sheldon spanks Amy, Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik both had a very difficult time staying in character, and several takes were ruined with them bursting out in laughter.

The scene where Penny was teaching the guys about fishing has her being the "manliest" in the demonstration. However, off-camera it was entirely the other way around. Kaley Cuoco was the grossed out one while the guys were way less so. Accordingly, between takes they held up a worm and chased her around the set while she was running and screaming.
