Quotes

Dr. Lorvis: I don't like to brag, but you see, I'm kinda the doctor to the stars' urinary tracts
Howard, Raj, Sheldon, Leonard: Wow.
Dr. Lorvis: You want to see James Cameron's kidney stone?
(shows them his keychain)
Howard, Raj, Sheldon, Leonard: Oooo.
Dr. Lorvis: He was so happy after he passed it, he gave me a Terminator.
Leonard: That is amazing. How long have you been collecting?
Dr. Lorvis: Ever since I was a kid, but I didn't really get serious until William Shatner's bladder infection.
Sheldon: What'd you get? What'd you get?
Dr. Lorvis: Well, he said it was a Tribble. It could be a toup?e, but either way it's pretty cool.

Sheldon: Leonard, where are your social skills? This man is clearly upset. We should invite him in for a hot beverage.
Leonard: He tried to score on Penny.
Sheldon: So have these two
(gestures toward Howard and Raj)
Sheldon: and they're having dinner with us.

Bernadette: They just cancelled the photo shoot and said they were rethinking it
Amy: I'm really sorry, I think it's for the best. You want people focussing on your achievements, not staring at your breasts in a magazine.
Bernadette: I guess, it's really not that important.
(Amy stares fixatedly for several seconds at Bernadette's breasts)
Bernadette: Hey! Up here!
Amy: Sorry, we just - were talking about them.

Amy: Bernadette is a successful microbiologist. She should be celebrated for her achievements, not her looks. I mean, what kind of message does that send?
Penny: I think the message is, "Check out the rack on that scientist!"

Dr. Lorvis: You're a guy like me. So, how did you get a girl like Penny?
Leonard: Oh, well, you know, just being myself, really.
Sheldon: Oh please! You know, I'll tell you how he did it. Implacable relentless badgering. In urology terms, he was a drug-resistant staph infection and she was a urethra that could not shake him.
Leonard: I don't know that I'd call myself an infection.
Howard: A gallant man would defend his fianc?e for being called a urethra.

Sheldon: Oh, and on the topic of sharing things that are yours, there's a gentleman caller bringing flowers to your fianc?e as we speak.

Notes and Trivia

Movie memorabilia Items found in Dr. Lorvis' collection include Magneto's helmet from the X-men movies, Hellboy's gun, Indiana Jones' hat and whip, the robots from both Forbidden Planet (1956) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), the Borg Queen's headpiece, Mr. Freeze and Batman suits from Batman & Robin (1997), Maria, the female robot from Metropolis (1927), RoboCop, Terminator, Superman costume, and a Martian from Mars Attacks! (1996).

The voice of Dr. Lorvis' mother was done by Annie O'Donnell, who previously played Amy's mother in the season 4 episode, The Desperation Emanation (2010).

Title Reference: one of Penny's clients misinterprets her flirting, falls for her and every girl that's nice to him, much to Penny's annoyance.

When Amy says the magazine would never consider doing an article on sexy male scientists, Bernadette makes the comment, "Because no one wants to see Neil deGrasse Tyson in a wet t-shirt bend over the hood of a Porsche." Chuck Lorre's title card after the credits of this episode is a photoshopped image of Neil Degrasse Tyson standing by a Porsche in a suit with jacket and shirt open in front to reveal a muscular torso.
