Quotes

Amy: Item 28 your pet name for me. Time's running out on this. You need to make decision.
Sheldon: I submitted you a notarized list.
Amy: I sorry, but Golum and Flaky are not acceptable.
Sheldon: Well, you don't like Princess Corncob. You don't like Fester. You're just impossible to please.

Howard: Fun fact, I'm gonna jump off this train.

Yvette: I should have been a dentist.

Sheldon: What if my room has a claw-foot bathtub?
Amy: It doesn't. I know it makes you feel like you're bathing inside a monster.

Sheldon: What is your problem?
Amy: It's Valentine's Day. We're supposed to be having a romantic weekend.
Sheldon: Oh really? Because I remember you saying that trip was going to be something we could both enjoy. Did you really mean that or were you just trying to trick me?
Amy: Fine, it's true. I deserve romance and I didn't know how else to make it happen.
Sheldon: Well, if you want romance, let's have romance. Oh, look, there's wine.
(Takes Amy's wine glass and drinks)
Sheldon: Grape juice that burns. Um, let's now gaze into each other's eyes.
(Looks at Amy's eyes)
Sheldon: You blinked, I win.
Amy: Sheldon.
Sheldon: What's next? Oh, kissing's romantic.
(Amy doesn't believe him, gets kissed and enjoys it. So does Sheldon)
Amy: That was nice.
Sheldon: Good. Um. The conductor said if I come back to the engine room he'd show me how to bring the train through a crossing.
Amy: OK, have fun.
Sheldon: Do you want to come with me?
Amy: Really? I do.

Raj: Oh and I'd like for at least one of us to see some action so if you guys happen to have sex it's cool if she stays in the room.
Penny: The same goes with the two of you with Amy.
(Amy smiles)

Sheldon: How many trains have you been on?
Eric: Tons. A box fell on my head at UPS six years ago. Now I just collect disability and ride trains.
Sheldon: Wow, your life's amazing.
Eric: Not always. A box fell on my head at UPS six years ago. Now I just collect disability and ride trains.

Penny: Should we take this little party to the bedroom?
Leonard: We don't have to. We have the whole place to ourselves.
Penny: Oh that's true.
Leonard: In fact, if you want we can do it right here on Sheldon's spot.
Penny: That is the least sexy thing anyone's ever said to me.
Leonard: To the bedroom!

Penny: Happy Valentines Day!
Leonard: Flowers and chocolates? You trying to get me out of my panties?
Penny: Don't be surprised if you find five chocolates missing and three gross coconut ones with a bite taken out. Came that way when I bought it.
Leonard: I got you a little something too.
(Gives Penny a jewelry box)
Penny: Oh my. Jewelry.
(Opens box)
Penny: Oh, my God. Lakers' tickets!
Leonard: It gets better. Instead of me, you can take someone who will actually enjoy it.
Penny: Aww! You are the best boyfriend ever!
Leonard: Thank you, seriously, please don't make me go.

Amy: I propose we spend a weekend at a bed and breakfast in Napa valley.
Sheldon: I hate every word in that sentence, including "in", "at", "we" and "a".

Raj: You do whatever it takes to save her life. If she needs any new organs I'll buy any dog necessary and scrap them for parts.

Amy: Hey, guys. See if you can guess this one.
(Mimes shooting herself in the head)
Amy: Bang! Splat! Thud!

Amy: Why do I even try?
Bernadette: I'm going to fix this right now.
Howard: OK. Just make it look light an accident.
Bernadette: Excuse me. You at a Valentine's dinner with your girlfriend. Now get back over there and be with her.
Sheldon: You're right. That was insensitive of me. I have to got back to my table now. You should join us.
Eric: All right.
Bernadette: Great. Now there's two of them.

Bernadette: Are you all right?
Amy: It's Valentines Day, and my boyfriend is hanging out with some weirdo. How do you think I feel?
Bernadette: To be fair, they're both weirdos.

Yvette: Are you the owner?
Raj: Owner, father, and if something happens to her your worse nightmare!

Eric: Here's my impression of the Amtrak Acela barreling down the eastern corridor. Wha wha wha wha shhhhh, wha wha wha wha shhhhh, wha wha wha wha shhhhh.
Sheldon: It's like there's a train in your mouth.

Penny: Oh my God!
Leonard: It's a little late, but I'll take it.
Penny: No. Cinnamon ate the chocolates. That's really bad for dogs.

Sheldon: I never want this day to ever end.
Amy: Feeling like it never will.

Sheldon: In what world is a 4-4-6-4 a 4-10-4?
Howard: A world I don't want to live in. Seriously I no longer want to live in this world.

Sheldon: The conductor and I have the same pocket watch.
Eric: It was crazy.
Sheldon: Dare I say, loco?

Sheldon: Excuse me. I think you're being a little rude.
Amy: (furious) I'm being rude? You've been rude to me this entire evening.
Sheldon: How is that possible? I've hardly spoken to you since we got on the train.

Sheldon: This is going to be the best Valentine's day ever.
Amy: I'm so glad you like it.
Sheldon: I'm prepared to say I love it, as soon as I confirm there are no hobos aboard.

Bernadette: You sure you guys don't want to come with us to Napa. You can probably still get a room.
Penny: No. I think we'll just have a quiet weekend at home.
Leonard: Of course I'm not sure it's a great idea to take Penny where wine comes from. What? It's a joke. Oh, come on. We bust on each other. I wear dorky glasses and you might have a problem. It's all for laughs.
Penny: That would really piss me off if I didn't have a buzz going on.

Sheldon: We've only been dating three years. If we share a room people might talk.

Amy: An evening looking at the stars. That's still kind of romantic.
Raj: Except I'd be alone.
Amy: I'm trying to put lipstick on a pig here. Work with me.

Notes and Trivia

Amy's Valentine's Day dinner is on board the Napa Valley Wine Train.

The second time that Leonard and Penny suggest making out on Sheldon's spot on the couch but don't end up doing it. First time was in The Pirate Solution (2009), when Howard interrupted them.

Title reference: Sheldon feels that Amy is tricking him into romance by taking him on a train trip.
