Quotes

Penny: How come you don't eat more broccoli?
Leonard: I'm married, I don't have to be attractive.

Penny: Now, when he said he wanted to make a baby, is it possible he meant out of Legos?
Amy: No, he was explicit. Needlessly and freakishly explicit.
Leonard: Why does he need a baby? He's already hairless and smells like talcum powder.
Penny: Could you two really have some sort of super-intelligent child?
Amy: Well, there is a genetic component, but that doesn't guarantee anything.
Leonard: That's true. Sheldon's father once picked a fight with a cactus.
Penny: Yeah, but that's just his Earth parents. We don't know anything about the ones that sent him here.
Leonard: Well, we know they were smart enough to send him away.

Sheldon: How much will it hurt?
Amy: It's just a tiny skin sample. You saw my do it to myself.
Sheldon: On a scale of one to ten, where one is a pebble in your shoe and ten is the monkey you thought was your pet biting your face off.
Amy: A two.
Sheldon: Eating a whole Altoid?
Amy: Sheldon, if I'm going to synthesize a neural network from our skin cells, I need to harvest them. Now, I've done this dozens of times, but if you're too scared you don't have to.
Sheldon: No, this is for science. I can be brave for science.

Raj: Oh, my God. I just got it. Fun onions. Funyuns.

Amy: "Make a baby"? What are you talking about?
Sheldon: Clearly, the combination of our DNA is exceptional.
(stammers)
Sheldon: Our child could be the next step in the evolution of mankind. We'll be able to get into any preschool we want.
Amy: Sheldon, I'm not ready to have a baby.
Sheldon: Oh, yes, you are. I track your cycle. Yeah, for the next 36 hours, you're as fertile as a manure-covered wheat field.
Amy: Wow. I can actually feel the egg crawling its way back up.
Sheldon: I don't understand. Well, I thought you'd be thrilled to procreate with me.
Amy: Not right now.
Sheldon: Oh, I see what's happening here. You're playing hard to get.

Sheldon: Care for a brandy?
Amy: I don't think so.
Sheldon: Good choice, it's disgusting.

Amy: Sheldon, I'm not ready to have a baby!
Sheldon: Oh, yes, you are. I track your cycle. For the next 36 hours you're as fertile as a manure-covered field.
Amy: Wow. I can actually feel the egg crawling its way back up.

Penny: So, were you turned on even a little bit?
Amy: It was like being hit on by Rat-pack Pee-wee Herman.
Leonard: Uh, sorry, is that a yes?
Amy: No!
Sheldon: (Sheldon enters) Amy, I didn't want it to come to this, but you have left me no choice but to employ the most passionate, seductive dance known to man. The flamenco.
(he dances)
Amy: For God's sake, you're ridiculous!
(she storms out)
Sheldon: Well, you guys are aroused, right?
Amy: (ou in the hall Amy is breathless) That was a close one.

Notes and Trivia

Chuck Lorre's Vanity Cards simply stating "Uh-oh" was in reference to Donald Trump winning the 2016 Presidential Elections three days before the episode was broadcast.

Raj mentions his sister being a lawyer, a reference to Priya, who was last seen in The Good Guy Fluctuation (2011) and last mentioned in The Recombination Hypothesis (2012).

Title Reference: Sheldon and Amy mix their DNA and incubate some brain cells.
