Quotes

Bernadette: This may be the potion talking, but you are one fine-ass dungeon master.
Howard: Oh yeah? Well, when we get home, I'm gonna take you on a whole different adventure.
Sheldon: Another quest by Wolowitz? Count me in!
Amy: Sheldon, they're talking about sex.
Sheldon: Oh, then I'm out.

Leonard: See? I told you Howard was as good a Dungeon Master as me.
Sheldon: As good? You just got pantsed in the schoolyard, four-eyes!

Amy, Bernadette, Penny: (chanting in a cab) Vegas! Vegas! Vegas!
Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj: (chanting in Leonard & Sheldon's living room) The dungeon of Mabusdahega! The dungeon of Mabusdahega! The dungeon of Mabusdahega!

(Leonard and Howard have invited Penny, Amy, and Bernadette to join them in "Dungeons & Dragons")
Sheldon: I've just never played "Dungeons & Dragons" with girls before.
Penny: Oh, don't worry, sweetie, no-one has.

Howard: The other ogre says, "You killed my brother. Now ogre Thanksgiving is ruined."

Penny: I get to roll next.
Sheldon: Usually the Dungeon Master gets to roll.
Penny: Yeah, well I should be in Vegas eating at the shrimp buffet, so give it.

Sheldon: (Knock... knock... knock) Amy?
(Knock... knock... knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
(Knock... knock... knock)
Sheldon: Amy?
Amy: What?
Sheldon: I've... never knocked on my own door before. That was a wild ride.
Amy: You don't have to come in here and cheer me up.
Sheldon: Yeah, w- Thank you. But you could tell everyone else that, because they sure think otherwise.
Amy: I'll tell you what they think. They think our relationship is a joke.
Sheldon: Well, I don't think our relationship is a joke. I think a horse goes into a bar. Bartender says, "Why the long face?" That's a joke. It's a good one, too, because a horse has a long face.

Penny: Who wants drinks?
Sheldon: Oh, we don't drink alcohol during Dungeons and Dragons. It impairs our judgement.
Penny: This isn't alcohol, it's a magic potion that makes me like you.
Leonard: Double potion, please.

Amy: (Penny is talking to Amy through Sheldon's bedroom door) Go away. Sheldon is nibbling on my...
Amy: (sound D&D dice rolling) 14! YES!

Howard: The girls are away, so the boys will play!
Raj: Anything could happen!
Leonard: It's gonna get crazy in here!
Sheldon: (Hoisting box over his head) Dungeons and Dragons!

Amy: Sheldon. Are we ever going to have an intimate relationship?
Sheldon: Oh my. That's an uncomfortable topic. Amy, before I met you I never had any interest in being intimate with anyone.
Amy: And now?
Sheldon: And now what?
Amy: Do you have any interest now?
Sheldon: I've not ruled it out.
Amy: Wow, talk dirty to me.
Sheldon: I know it doesn't seem like it to you, but from me what we have is extremely intimate.
Amy: I guess I know that. It's just a part of me wants more.
Sheldon: I guess I know that. It's just a part of me wants more.
Amy: (Amy laughs slightly) Come on. Let's go back out there.
Sheldon: No, hold on. My elven magic user and your half-ork warrior did have a love spell cast on them. We wouldn't really be playing the game right if we didn't see that through.
Amy: O.K.
Sheldon: I believe that we just killed the dragon and while the others pillage the corpse I lead you to a secluded area where I attempt to remove your leather armor.
(Rolls dice)
Sheldon: It comes off.
Amy: Oh!
Sheldon: What do you do?
Amy: I... kiss you on the lips?
Sheldon: I kiss you back on the...
(Rolls dice)
Sheldon: ... lips as well. Your turn.
Amy: I remove your armor. What do you do?
Sheldon: I erotically caress your...
(Rolls dice)
Sheldon: ... nose.
Amy: Keep rolling!

Amy: Sheldon. Are we ever going to have an intimate relationship?
Sheldon: Oh my. That's an uncomfortable topic. Amy, before I met you I never had any interest in being intimate with anyone.
Amy: And now?
Sheldon: And now what?
Amy: Do you have any interest now?
Sheldon: I have not ruled it out.
Amy: Wow. Talk dirty to me.
Sheldon: I know it doesn't seem like it to you, but from me what we have is extremely intimate.
Amy: I guess I know that. It's just... a part of me wants more.
Sheldon: Y- More? Why, look at us. It's only been three years; here we are in bed together.
Amy: Come on. Let's go back out there.
Sheldon: Yu- w- no, hold on. My elven magic user and your half-orc warrior did have a love spell cast on them. We wouldn't really be playing the game right if we didn't see that through.
Amy: Okay.
Sheldon: I believe that, uh, we just killed the dragon... and while the others pillage the corpse, I lead you to a secluded area, where I attempt to remove your leather armor.
(rolls die)
Sheldon: It comes off.
Amy: Oh.
Sheldon: What do you do?
Amy: I... kiss you, on the lips?
Sheldon: I kiss you back on the...
(rolls die)
Sheldon: lips as well. Your turn.
Amy: I remove your armor. What do you do?
Sheldon: I erotically caress your...
(rolls die)
Sheldon: nose.
Amy: Keep rolling.

Amy: Ah, well. When we were going through security I got pulled out of line for a pat-down. The, uh, TSA agent got a little handsy. I may have broken her nose with my elbow.
Bernadette: Long story short, she's on the no-fly list, and we might have been followed here by a drone.
Amy: I'm sorry. I feel like such an idiot.
Penny: Oh, it's not so bad. You lost money, you're filled with shame and you got groped by a stranger; I mean, that's Vegas - you nailed it.

Penny: I got a brand new bikini, so drinks at the pool are on these.
(gestures at her breasts)
Bernadette: I got a sexy new tube top that says come hither and a can of pepper spray that says "Close enough, Jack."
Amy: I brought some old underwear to throw onstage at the Garth Brooks concert.
Penny: I'm sorry, why old?
Amy: Because the first time I saw him, throwing new underwear didn't work.

Bernadette: (to cab driver) Burbank Airport, please.
Penny: Vegas, here we come!
Bernadette: No husbands, no boyfriends, no rules!
Amy: No rules? We're not going to get drunk and have a six-way with the Blue Man Group are we?
Penny: No.
Amy: So there are some rules.
Bernadette: Fine. No husbands, no boyfriends, some rules.
Amy: Thank you.
(yells)
Amy: Vegas!

Howard: The love spell takes effect. When Sheldon looks at Amy, she is the most beautiful half-orc he's ever seen, and he's overcome with a desire to rip her armor off and gaze fondly at her four hairy breasts. When Amy sees Sheldon, he looks... well, just like Sheldon, 'cause apparently she's into that.

Lucy: Can I tell you something? I was so nervous about tonight that I smeared roll-on deodorant all over my body. So if I start spraying sweat from the top of my head, you'll know why.

Raj: We have this rule on the phone that if no one talks for 3 minutes, you can just hang up.

Notes and Trivia

Simon Helberg (Howard) really does all those impersonations (Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage, Christopher Walken) himself and has done several others throughout the series. These impressions were specifically set up for Helberg because doing imitations used to be part of his comedy act.

The edition of Dungeons & Dragons that the band is playing is the Fourth. While it had its fans, some players felt that part of the radical innovations introduced by it changed too much the basic nature of the game. After many debates on internet fora (and many players switching to other games), it was superseded in 2014 by the very successful Fifth Edition.

The title refers to the love spell put upon Sheldon and Amy's characters in their Dungeons and Dragons game.
