Quotes
Amy: Comfy?
Sheldon: (referring to Penny's bed) Oh, I'm just happy I don't know what this memory foam remembers.
Sheldon: Yes. I accept this five-week mission to share a living space with my girlfriend.
Amy: Oh, this is so exciting!
Sheldon: Well, now don't be surprised if like Star Trek, it's canceled in three.
Sheldon: How dare you!
Amy: Oh, you heard me. Your experimental bone fides are laughable;
Sheldon: Whoa, now you're making fun of my bone fides!
Amy: Can't make fun of something that's a null set.
Penny: Feel like I should say 'damn',
Leonard: Do it.
Penny: Daaaaaamn!
Sheldon: Weh, if you are so protective of the scientific method, perhaps we should use the next five weeks to finish what we started!
Amy: Well, for science, maybe I will!
Sheldon: For science, maybe you should!
Amy: Fine!
Sheldon: Fine!
Amy: Good!
Sheldon: Great!
Amy: Do you want to go to our place and make out?
Sheldon: Does Stephen Hawking roll through the quad?
(they storm out)
Penny: The new neighbors are weird.
Sheldon: What if living together kills the romance?
Penny: OK; you guys had sex one whole time; nothing can put out a fire like that.
Amy: If you don't want to snuggle, fine, but we're not building a pillow wall.
Sheldon: But, uh, well uh, I am sorry; I am just worried that my sensitivity to temperature could make this a rough night. And no offence, but your bottom radiates enough heat I'm surprised there aren't iguanas lying on it.
Sheldon: Like an embassy in a foreign country, this seat is the sovereign soil of my bottom.
Amy: And there was water everywhere; it was such a mess.
Leonard: That stinks; how long are you out of the apartment?
Amy: About five weeks.
Penny: Ugh, did you lose anything valuable?
Amy: Well, the pipe was over my closet, so all my clothes are gone.
Penny: Oh, so nothing. Great. Do they know why the pipe burst?
Amy: They didn't say.
Leonard: Buildings that have a combination of copper and galvanized steel are susceptible to pinholes and corrosion caused by the mobility of ions in the water.
(the girls stare at him)
Leonard: Can't have your head shoved in a toilet as much as I did and not pick up a few things about plumbing.
Amy: Sheldon, I understand your apprehension, but let me appeal to the scientist in you. Given the five-week end-date, isn't it the perfect opportunity to consider this an experiment and collect data on our compatibility?
Sheldon: Don't try luring me in with sexy talk.
Leonard: Okay, Star Trek the Original Series. The Starship Enterprise was on a five year mission to explore new worlds. Think of this as your personal five week mission to do the same.
Sheldon: Now, if you want to lure me in with sexy talk, that's how you do it.
(Leonard smiles smugly)
Penny: Don't be proud of that.
Sheldon: Enjoy having the place to yourselves.
Leonard: You enjoy your mission to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Sheldon: It's Penny's bedroom; plenty of men have gone before.
Penny: Now, now, there's no need to make this emotional.
Amy: You sure that's not an inconvenience?
Penny: No, not at all.
Leonard: And we live with Sheldon, so the word inconvenience has really lost all meaning.
Amy: I'm so sore; I don't think I slept two minutes last night.
Penny: (Penny grins) Yeah, get it, girl.
Amy: It's not what you think.
Leonard: (Leonard enters) I feel like I pulled something. Why didn't you tell me to stop?
Penny: Even more not what you think.
Raj: I have to say, I am happy with your OBGYN.
Howard: Cool, cause she said you're doing a great job as "weird friend who doesn't have to be in every appointment".
Raj: I'm the son of a gynecologist. I could be helpful.
Bernadette: It would help if you stop telling me I have a textbook cervix.
Raj: The polite response is "Thank you for noticing."
Penny: So what do you wanna do?
Leonard: (Takes off his shirt) I know exactly what we're gonna do.
Penny: Really? You're a genius and that's the first thing you come up with?
Leonard: Hey, Sheldon's not here, so we're going to put on some music and dance in our underwear.
Penny: Ugh, can't we just have sex?
Leonard: Don't worry. Once you see my sweet moves, sex is inevitable.
(Drops his pants and dances to Chuck Berry's "C'est la Vie")
Penny: Inevitable, you say?
Leonard: I'll just let my hips do the talking.
Sheldon: You know, historically, I don't do well with change.
Penny: Okay, it won't be that bad. We wouldn't even sit in your spot while you're gone.
Sheldon: You're darn right, you wouldn't. No matter where I am, this will always be my spot. Like an embassy in a foreign country, this seat is the sovereign soil of my bottom.
Amy: You've been Sheldon's roommate since forever. Do you have any advice?
Leonard: I'm trying to think of an answer that won't stop you from doing this.
Notes and Trivia
Sheldon saying to Amy, "You truly are a Goofus to my Gallant," is a reference to Highlights Magazine, a monthly magazine for children. The Goofus and Gallant comics were intended to teach good manners and social behavior. Gallant is polite, considerate, and generous. Goofus is selfish, rude, inconsiderate, and bossy.
Goofs
None
