Quotes

Howard: I'm serious, JPL's actually developing a robot arm that could grab an asteroid before it hits us.
Leonard: So their plan for saving the Earth from Armageddon is hoping a bunch of scientists can catch a ball?
Raj: If we're all gonna die, why am I eating so much kale?

Leonard: She took my Where's Waldo!
Sheldon: Well, no, no, he's over there.
Leonard: Oh yeah, there he is.

Sheldon: This is our friend Penny's place. You may remember her from our episode "Flags: And the People Who Don't Understand Them".

Sheldon: Hello, I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
Amy: And I'm Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler.
Sheldon: And welcome to the first on location episode of "Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler present
Amy: Dr. Sheldon Cooper's Fun with Flags".

Amy: Why are you speaking Klingon?
Sheldon: Why are you speaking English?

Penny: OK. Open your eyes and see your new room.
Leonard: Wowww!
Penny: I-i went a little overboard. We can always dial it back.
Leonard: No, no, no-no-no, it- it's important to me that you have the bedroom you want.
Penny: Oh, that means so much. I love you.
Leonard: I love you too.
Leonard: (walking into Sheldon's apartment carrying stuff) Just hiding some stuff in your closet. Don't tell Penny.

Sheldon: I suppose we could find a whole new place. And technically we don't even have to stay in Pasadena. We could move to Altadena. Or a place that doesn't even end in 'dena'.

Sheldon: I get it, everyone wants to spend more time with me. I'm a man made of sugar in a world of ants.

Leonard: So she's been lying to him?
Penny: So what? You lie to Sheldon all the time.
Leonard: Yeah, but to get him to leave, not get him to stay.

Leonard: And what's it called when you secretly get rid of all your husband's stuff?
Penny: Wha-? That is not true!
Leonard: Well, Bernadette told Howard; Howard told me. Plus I can see all my stuff is gone.
Penny: Oh, so you believe your friend and your friend's wife and your own eyes over me? Wow!

Sheldon: Your Klingon word of the day calender's gone.
Leonard: I'd say dammit in Klingon, but that wasn't until next month.
Sheldon: It's Qu'vatlh.
Leonard: Qu'vatlh!

Howard: (about Sheldon's dream) Okay, the last question: The chaps he was wearing, assless?
Sheldon: Can we just focus on the decision I'm facing?
Raj: We can. but just for the record, all chaps are assless.
Sheldon: Gentlemen, please! This is a significant decision. Do Amy and I continue living together, or do I move back in with Leonard?
Leonard: Over my assless chaps you will.
Howard: This isn't complicated. Do you love Amy?
Sheldon: Yes.
Raj: Do you like living with her?
Sheldon: Yes.
Leonard: Do you know what you need to do now?
Sheldon: Apparently figure it out on my own, 'cause you guys are no help at all.

Howard: (to Penny, about Sheldon) You know, if he moves across the hall for good, Leonard could keep the stuff you don't like in Sheldon's old room. Solves everything.
Penny: That's a great idea!
Leonard: Ooh! Maybe I could turn it into a gaming den.
Raj: That would be amazing.
Sheldon: (stutters) Wha-Wha... Excuse me, that's my room.
Leonard: But you won't be living here.
Sheldon: But that's my room.
Leonard: You won't be living here.
Sheldon: But that's my room.
Leonard: (to everyone) You guys might want to start eating.
(to Sheldon)
Leonard: You won't be living here.
Penny: Sweetie, once you stop paying rent, none of this is really yours.
Sheldon: But that's my room.
Howard, Penny, Leonard, Raj, Amy: BUT YOU WON'T BE LIVING HERE!

Leonard: You're awful quiet. Everything OK?
Sheldon: I'm concerned about Amy. She's acting a bit odd lately.
Howard: Just out of curiosity, what registers as odd to you?

Sheldon: If complaining were an Olympic sport, I would complain about what a stupid sport it is and bring home the gold.

Amy: Hi.
Sheldon: Hello.
Amy: What are you doing?
Sheldon: I'm just contemplating Buridan's donkey.
Amy: I understand. I'll leave you be.
Sheldon: What, you're familiar with the reference?
Amy: Of course. Jean Buridan proposed a philosophical thesis stating that a hungry donkey placed between two equidistant bales of hay would be paralyzed by indecision and would starve to death.
Sheldon: Exactly.
Amy: Well, I wouldn't want you to starve to death, so here's an eggplant.
Sheldon: Thank you.
Amy: You know, some people believe that Buridan was plagiarizing Aristotle.
Sheldon: Really?
Amy: Although, in Aristotle's example, he proposed an equally hungry and thirsty man caught between food and drink.
Sheldon: Huh. Yeah, I wonder if that's related to the 12th century Persian philosopher, Al-Ghazali and his story of a man caught between two dates.
Amy: Are you suggesting Al-Ghazali was Aristotelian? 'Cause if anything, he was anti-Aristotelian.
Sheldon: Al-Ghazali was anti-Aristotelian? Boy, you think you know a guy.

Notes and Trivia

Sheldon asks Amy to sing 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The proper name is 'Also sprach Zarathustra', also known as Opus 30 by Richard Strauss.

This episode was the last one broadcast prior to the 2016 Presidential Elections between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, which were won by the latter. All of Chuck Lorre's Vanity Cards starting with this episode and ending with The Romance Recalibration (2017) comment on the election and the result.

Title Reference: Amy stretching the truth about her old apartment being repaired.

Ubbi Dubbi, spoken by Penny and Amy in this episode, was popularized by the 1970's children's show Zoom (1972). In this secret language, the letters "ub" are added in front of each vowel sound in every syllable of an existing word, e.g. "hello" becomes "huballubo". It may also have been the inspiration for Amy's invented language 'Op' from The Skank Reflex Analysis (2011), where the letters "op" are added to each consonant in a word (so "hallo" would become "hop-a-lop-lop-o").

When Penny tells Leonard she can make do with just the candle she holds up her left hand. Her ring & pinky fingernails are polished a darker color while the rest appear to have a sheer clear coat of polish.
