Quotes

Amy: Since we're live, you'll finally be able to reach out to us with your flag thoughts and flag questions.
Sheldon: Allow us to answer a few quick ones that we get all the time. Um uh, yes, I really am a doctor. Uh, yes, she really is my girlfriend.
Amy: And no, I just blink a lot; it's not Morse code for rescue me.

Leonard: A lot of attitude from the woman who thought MC squared was a rapper.
Penny: Is that a smart thing to say on a holiday that's basically National Sex Night?
Leonard: I'm sorry, you're pretty, I'm stupid.

Sheldon: Please. All comments and questions should be flag-related.
Kripke: All wight. Is my pole fwag-wewated?
Sheldon: I don't see why not.

Amy: Look, I know you both feel bad about being alone, but sometimes the best thing you can do is take a little time for yourself, especially when you just got out of a relationship.
Sheldon: Speaking of ending relationships, when British Honduras became Belize, they designed a new flag with a tree on it, and I would like to hang myself from that tree.

Bernadette: Howie, this is just your hypochondria.
Howard: When I sat on the mute button and thought I'd gone deaf, that was my hypochondria.

Sheldon: Did you know the singular of confetti is confetto?
Amy: Interesting. And when would you use the singular?
Sheldon: I'm glad you asked. Amy, you have a confetto in your nose.
(she rubs her nose)
Sheldon: No no no no. Other side.
(she rubs the other side)
Sheldon: There you go.

Sheldon: (about his live 'Fun with Flags' show) I hope people will be around to watch even though it's Valentine's day.
Amy: People who are fans of an internet show about flags, trust me they're around.

Sheldon: Gentlemen.
Leonard, Raj, Howard: (muttter) Hello.
Sheldon: If any of you are looking for something to to on Valentine's Day, Amy and I'll be streaming our first ever *live* episode of Fun with Flags. You're welcome to join us as we celebrate the timeless love affair between wind and flapping fabric.
Sheldon: Penny and I have dinner reservations that night, but any other time no.
Howard: Sorry. Bernie and I are breaking in the new hot tub, if you know what I mean.
Sheldon: Not a clue. Raj?
Raj: Spending Valentine's Day with Emily.
Leonard: Don't sound very excited about it.
Raj: Oh, I am, I am. I gue- I guess I'm still wondering if Emily and I are right for each other.
Howard: Does this have to do with that girl you had coffee with?
Raj: You mean the strong, sexy angel I can't stop thinking about? Who can say?
Howard: You've been talking about breaking up with Emily forever; why don't you just do it already?
Leonard: Just get it over with.
Raj: You say it like it's easy. Have any one of you ever broken up with anyone?
(long pause)
Howard: No.
Leonard: Not really.
Sheldon: Yeah, uh, once I ordered an Uber by accident; I just got in and went somewhere.

Sheldon: Raj, I'm sorry you're suffering. When Amy and I were broken up, I also suffered. And this may sound surprising, but I'm grateful for having gone through it.
Amy: Really?
Sheldon: Yes. I believe our relationship now is stronger than ever.
Amy: So do I.
Sheldon: When we were apart, I learned how important you are to me.

Notes and Trivia

Bernadette reveals that she is pregnant.

Sheldon mentions during fun with flags that New Zealand is proposing a new flag. This is in reference to the John Key-led flag referendum (2015-16), which failed to replace the existing flag.
