Quotes
Penny: Think of yourself as one of those limited-edition toys people like to collect.
Sheldon: I already do.
Penny: Well then, you get it.
Sheldon: Oh, because there's only one of me, I'm more valuable.
Penny: Right.
Sheldon: Although, Amy's already taken me out of my package and played with me.
Penny: What do you want us to do?
Amy: I don't know. Might be the New Jersey talking, but this Nowitzki broad needs to disappear.
Sheldon: This is from Patrick Stewart. It says, if I come to his house again, I get to meet his dogs.
Amy: I was offered a summer research fellowship at Princeton.
Sheldon: A fine institution. The place where Albert Einstein taught, and where Leonard got his PhD, so it may have gone downhill.
Sheldon: (knock-knock-knock) Amy.
(knock-knock-knock)
Sheldon: Amy.
(knock-knock-knock)
Sheldon: Amy.
(Amy opens the door and sees Sheldon on one knee with an engagement ring)
Sheldon: Will you marry me?
Sheldon: Oh, one last thing. If you find yourself working with a male scientist, who's as smart as me, as tall as me, and has hair like Thor, well then, I want you to step away from the situation and call me immediately.
Amy: (Ramona Nowitzki appears in Sheldon's life again) Should I worry?
Penny: No, come on, it's Sheldon, nothing is going to happen.
Amy: That's what you said to me when I started dating him. And then five years later, bingo-bango, something happened!
Bernadette: Yeah, but you're going to be back in three months.
Amy: (sighs) You don't get it. I've been smacking that ketchup bottle for a long time. All she's got to do is tip it over and point it at her fries!
Penny: What do you want us to do?
Amy: I don't know! Might be the New Jersey talking, but this Nowitzki broad needs to disappear.
Notes and Trivia
According to Mayim Bialik, tears are spilled in the rehearsal of the last scene.
Amy's room at Princeton seems to be the same as her former apartment.
On the plane to Princeton, Sheldon watches SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Jellyfishing/Plankton!" (1999).
Ramona Nowitzki (Riki Lindhome) makes a return after her previous appearance in The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem (2008), 208 episodes ago.
When Penny and Bernadette are talking about Dr. Nowitzki, Penny acts as if she's never met her. But in The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem (2008), Penny had a few encounters with Dr. Nowitzki (when she was giving Sheldon a pedicure, when she admonished Penny for distracting Sheldon, and when she storms out when Sheldon won't add her name to his theorem).
