Quotes

Amy: I'm sorry, Bert, but aren't you worried she's only with you for your money?
Bert: She'd better be. On our first date, I bought her an 80-inch flat screen.
Sheldon: Your first date? Did you even measure her walls?

Sheldon: (after Bert introduces Rebecca) She's younger and far more attractive than he is.
(to Leonard and Penny)
Sheldon: They're copying you two.

Raj: I feel bad for Bert.
Sheldon: Well, so he's using his money to attract a mate. Is that any different than me using my intelligence to attract Amy? Or Leonard using his power of groveling to get Penny?
Leonard: It's totally different. Bert's money might run out, but I can beg until the end of time.
Penny: All that and he's shorter than me.
Raj: Sheldon, what did Amy have that attracted you?
Sheldon: So many things. Her mind, her kindness, and especially her body.
Raj: Really?
Amy: Relax, we're the same blood type. He knew he could harvest an organ.

Leonard: Don't you have a friend you can set him up with?
Penny: Hey, I already set up Howard and Bernadette. It's your turn to ruin some poor girl's life.

Howard: How about after this we go see the exotic bird show?
Stuart: Not a good idea. My hair is a coveted nesting material.

Sheldon: (a joke only physicists get) Heisenberg is pulled over by a police officer. And the policeman says, "Did you know you were going 85 miles per hour?" And Heisenberg says, "Darn it, now I don't know where I am."

Penny: So Bert, you were telling us how you updated your profile?
Bert: Right. I wasn't getting any responses and then I added recent $625,000 MacArthur grant winner. Five minutes later, I met my soul mate.

Bernadette: What if she likes the people who work there more than us?
Howard: She already likes soap bubbles more than us.

Sheldon: All right, we're about to go live. Everyone on their A game.
(claps)
Sheldon: Good energy...
(flatly, to camera)
Sheldon: Hello. I'm Dr, Sheldon Cooper.
Amy: And I'm Dr. Amy Farrah-Fowler.
Sheldon: And welcome to a special retrospective, where we will take a look back at the history of Fun with Flags on an episode we're calling
Sheldon, Amy: Fun with Flags: Behind the Flags, a Retrospective.

Penny: Bert, you're a good guy. You deserve a woman who is interested in more than just your money.
Bert: She was also interested in walking around my house in her underwear. Now the only one doing that is me.

Raj: I haven't had much success meeting people online.
Bert: I didn't either until I revamped my profile.
Sheldon: What did you do, delete your photo?

Rebecca: Where's your bathroom?
Leonard: Just down there.
(Rebecca leaves)
Bert: She's so perfect, sometimes I think she isn't real. And then she goes to the bathroom, and I know she is.
Penny: Aww, that's so weird.

Sheldon: (a joke only physicists get) Feynman, Einstein and Schr?dinger walk into a bar. Feynman says, "It appears we're inside a joke." Einstein replies, "But only to an observer who saw us walk in simultaneously." To which Schr?dinger says, "If someone is looking in the window, I'm leaving."

Bernadette: Polar bears nurse their cubs for almost eight months. The orangutan mother builds her baby a new home every night. And what do I do? I choose my career over my child!

Sheldon: Bert, Rebecca, I'd like to apologize for my insensitive comment earlier.
Rebecca: Don't worry about it. It's fine.
Sheldon: See, it was fine. I didn't need a time out.
Amy: It wasn't a time out. Let's get some food.
Sheldon: You made me sit on the stairs and think about what I did...
Amy: (Nudges Sheldon) I said get your food!

Raj: Sheldon, what did Amy have that attracted you?
Sheldon: Oh, so many things: her mind, her kindness, and especially her body.
Raj: Really!
Amy: Relax. We're the same blood type; he know he could harvest an organ.

Raj: I feel bad for Bert.
Sheldon: So he's using his money to attract a mate. Is that any different than me using my intelligence to attract Amy, or Leonard using his power of grovelling to get Penny?
Leonard: Totally different. Bert's money might run out, but I can beg until the end of time.
Penny: All that, *and* he's shorter than me.

Howard: What are you making?
Stuart: Chicken. Birds mess with my hair, I come back hard.

Howard: What are you doing here?
Stuart: Can't a guy hang out at a college he doesn't go to and stare at a baby that isn't his?

Bernadette: It would be nice to raise Halley to be a little more independent than you were.
Howard: I guess. It wasn't until college that I learned you can put a thermometer in your mouth.

Raj: I'd love a personal trainer. I haven't seen my abs since they opened a Shake Shack on my drive home.
Rebecca: I can give you some free sessions.
Penny: Oh, is that offer for everybody?
Leonard: Nice try. I'm not going.

Sheldon: Hello. I'm Dr, Sheldon Cooper.
Amy: And I'm Dr. Amy Farrah-Fowler.
Sheldon: Based on the glowing reception of our recent Behind the Flags Retrospective we thought you might like to see how it all came together
Amy: So welcome to tonight's episode:
Sheldon, Amy: Fun with Flags: Behind the Behind the Flags, a Retrospective Retrospective.
Sheldon: Oh, we already have our first call!
Amy: Oh. Hello, you're on Fun with Flags.
Bert: The jet-ski worked. I got her back.

Notes and Trivia

Sheldon's physicist joke about Feynman, Einstein and Schr?dinger in a bar refers to their specific theories about reality. Feynman was known for his simple visual representations of complex mathematical expressions ("It appears we're inside a joke"); Einstein's theory of Special Relativity states that synchronous movement of objects depends on who is observing these movements ("But only to an observer who saw us walk in simultaneously"). The thought experiment of 'Schr?dinger's cat' (mentioned on the show several times since The Tangerine Factor (2008)) describes a cat in a closed box with a vial of poison set to break at an unknown time; the only way to know for certain if the cat has died is by looking inside the box ("If someone is looking in the window, I'm leaving"). Sheldon's joke about Heisenberg being told he was going 85 miles per hour refers to the 'Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle', or the inability to measure both an object's location and speed in one observation ("Darn it, now I don't know where I am").

Title reference: the difficulty that Howard, Bernadette and Stuart experience when being separated from Halley while she is at daycare.
