Quotes

Amy: (Leonard is going in for surgery) It's a routine procedure. I've heard you complain about his snoring.
Sheldon: Yes, for the first five or six years, but I've gotten used to it. It helps me sleep. He's like my own mucus powered white noise machine.

Sheldon: What if you're allergic to latex gloves?
Leonard: I'm not allergic to latex.
Sheldon: Well, what about epilepsy?
Leonard: I don't have epilepsy.
Sheldon: You don't, but the doctor might. One shaky scalpel and your carotid artery becomes a dancing fountain at Disneyland.

Sheldon: You're acting odd. Why?.
Amy: I'm odd all the time. Everyone knows that. Just last night I tried to see how many fava beans I could put in my mouth.
Sheldon: Tell me the truth.
Amy: Twenty-eight.
Sheldon: Come on.
Amy: Fifty-six.

Howard: So, I found this fencing school in Burbank that has a Jedi class. And if you're cool being the only adults there, they said they are.

Sheldon: If you get the surgery, the snoring is gone. If you die during surgery... the snoring is gone.
Leonard: Sounds like either way I finally get some rest.

Amy: (Playing Heads Up; the clue is Tesla) Okay, this is someone you love.
Sheldon: I got it, it's me.
Amy: No. He's an underapreciated scientist.
Sheldon: Still think it's me.
Amy: It's not you. Now think. He has a car named after him.
Sheldon: Of course there is: the Mini Cooper, because it's me.
Amy: Let's try this. He's the poorman's Sheldon Cooper.
Sheldon: Oh, Tesla! It's Tesla.

Sheldon: It's not life-threatening. Why are you getting surgery?
Leonard: Because I can't breathe. I snore, I get sinus infections...
Penny: Back off. He's mine.

Leonard: What you get?
Sheldon: Oh, I ordered this before your surgery. It's the urn I was going to put you in.
Penny: It's morbid. Send it back.
Sheldon: I can't. I had it engraved. "Here lie the ashes of Leonard Hofstadter. He thought he was right, but his roommate knew better."
Leonard: That's funny. Boy, I'm gonna miss these pain killers.
Penny: Why'd you get two? "I'm with stupid."
Sheldon: Oh, that one's mine.

Sheldon: I assume the clinic has already treated the burns on your bottom from your recent pants fire.
Penny: Because I'm a liar, liar?
Sheldon: That's for the fire marshall to determine.

Raj: I was on the phone with my mother.
Bernadette: How is she?
Raj: Pretty Good. She bought the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and used it to set my father's Mercedes on fire.

Amy: This is like the man in the supermarket with the goiter on his neck. Whatever you're thinking, just keep it to yourself.
Sheldon: It was like a grapefruit.
Amy: And I'm sure he knew that before you held a grapefruit up next to it.

Leonard: I'm certainly not going to die by asteroid impact.
Sheldon: You know who else thought that? Every cocky T.rex currently swimming around in your car tank.

Penny: (Noticing the teddy bear Sheldon has) It's nice you got that for Leonard.
Sheldon: Oh, this isn't for Leonard. Amy bought me this.
Amy: He stubbed his toe on the revolving door.
Sheldon: You know those confounded things confuse me.
Amy: Then why did you keep going around?
Sheldon: There was a large plant in the lobby. I kept mistaking it for the outside.

Sheldon: (a tremor shakes the waiting room) What was that?
Penny: It's just a small tremor.
Sheldon: A small tremor that can turn a routine sinus surgery into a frontal lobotomy.
(Power goes out)
Sheldon: Oh, I don't care for this at all. I have to see that Leonard is all right. I'm going in there.
Amy: Sheldon, you can't go in there.
Sheldon: Try and stop me.
(Runs into glass door and falls)
Amy: Are you all right?
Sheldon: Why didn't you stop me?

Notes and Trivia

Amy and Sheldon play the 'Heads up' game that Ellen DeGeneres released as an app.

At the hospital Sheldon sits on the right-hand side of the row of seats (from the viewer's point of view) next to Penny. This corresponds to his spot, which he guards so jealously, on his sofa.

In an early scene with Sheldon in Leonard's bedroom, a portrait of Leonard and Penny from the The Prom Equivalency (2014) can be seen on his nightstand.

The normal "Chuck Lorre Productions" card was replaced with a dedication to Carol Ann Susi (Mrs. Wolowitz) who died three days before this episode originally premiered. In reruns, though, the usual Vanity Card is shown.

Title Reference: Leonard goes into the hospital for a deviated septum operation.

When Sheldon and Leonard are discussing the latter's snoring, the photo on Leonard's bedside table is the "prom" photo of Leonard and Penny from the previous episode.
