Quotes

Amy: (talking about Sheldon) How could he not remember a day?
Penny: Well, people who are abducted by aliens lose time. I mean, maybe it happens to the aliens, too.

Amy: Why did you tell Leonard you're working on the gyroscope tomorrow?
Sheldon: Because I am.
Amy: But you said you were working for me.
Penny: Uh-oh! Somebody's got two dates to the nerd prom.
Sheldon: I have a plan to work on both projects simultaneously. (to Penny) And for your information, the summer conference on algebraic topology at Caltech is nerd prom.

Penny: Hey Leonard, if you're not busy tomorrow, I have to do a little reception at work.
Leonard: Oh, I would, but we need to make a push on the air force project.
Penny: Are you sure? We're celebrating our new ADD drug. I mean it'll probably be over in like six minutes
Amy: Did you say you guys are working on the guidance system tomorrow?
Leonard: Yeah, why?
Amy: Well, Sheldon said that he was going to work with me on our quantum perception projct.
Leonard: We've had this planned for a week.
Amy: Well, he reconfirmed with me this morning.
Raj: Guys, before this gets ugly, remember - the winner gets Sheldon.

Notes and Trivia

In addition to English, Amy and Sheldon apparently have at least rudimentary skills in German, Mandarin, and Navajo. Sheldon and Amy could previously be seen making attempts at speaking German during their first "Fun With Flags" webisode in The Beta Test Initiation (2012). Sheldon was learning to speak Mandarin (poorly) during The Tangerine Factor (2008), and later recognized the tattoo on Penny's buttocks as the Chinese symbol for "soup" in The Adhesive Duck Deficiency (2009), so he may have used his knowledge to translate "Soft Kitty" into the language.

In addition to playing a floor harp, Amy apparently also has at least a rudimentary mastery of the zither, or auto-harp.

Penny used to stop for a bear claw during her morning run The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification (2010) but now she stops for a doughnut.

Title reference: Sheldon losing his memory.
