Quotes

Penny: I've got to learn how to spell Hofstadter. I know there's a "d" in there, but it keeps moving every time I try and write it.

Penny: Let the record show, I did not marry you for the money, but you just got way more attractive.

Leonard: You know what, if you need a computer, you can use my laptop.
Penny: Oh, that's sweet, but I'm not gonna take your computer.
Leonard: Oh, it's fine. I-I'm getting a new one anyway.
Penny: Are you sure?
Sheldon: Don't be silly. He's desperate to hold on to you. You can get anything out of him.
Howard: His car, his watch... Maybe a kidney. You already have his testicles. You can start a collection.

Penny: So how are the wedding plans going?
Amy: We still can't decide on a location.
Penny: I thought you agreed on a cliff overlooking the beach.
Amy: Sheldon couldn't agree on which one. Some where too beachy, some were too cliffy.
Sheldon: And all of them were too outsidey.

Leonard: You having a good day?
Penny: No, I missed an audition because my computer broke, and I didn't get the e-mail. Would've been a perfect part for me.
Sheldon: Was it waitress who ignores her customers? Because that's the role you were born to play.
Penny: Shut up and eat your burger.
Sheldon: Actually, it's a turkey club.
Penny: Didn't you order a burger?
Sheldon: I did, and yet here we are.

Stuart: I'm, uh, I'm running a special today, uh, buy something, keep having a comic book store to come to.
Raj: This is awkward. I was actually gonna return this.
Stuart: What's wrong with it?
Raj: I-I finished it.

Amy: Sheldon, what did you do?
Sheldon: I planned my revenge. If you get a dish, I'll serve you some cold.

Zack: Are you guys fighting?
Penny: Yes.
Leonard: No.
Zack: Are you fighting about whether or not you're fighting? 'Cause I've had that fight before. Turns out we were, and I lost.

Leonard: I'm not mad.
Penny: Oh, really? Tell that to your eyebrows. Bet I could place a quarter between them, and it would just stay there.

Leonard: So what are you gonna do with your share of the money?
Raj: Uh, well, as a responsible adult, I'll put that money into a CD, wait for that CD to mature, and then buy a tiger.

Sheldon: The Comic-Con breakup's easy to remember, because Leonard was the saddest Pikachu.
Amy: Right, and he wiped his nose on your cape, and then you were the saddest Darth Vader.

Leonard: You can't still be mad about that.
Sheldon: Please. I have grudges going back to kindergarden. One day, I plan to find an adult Emily Dwyer and make her eat a crayon while I watch.
Amy: Is that why there's an Emily Dwyer on our invitation list?
Sheldon: Of course. That night, I will have the first dance, and the last laugh.

Notes and Trivia

Although it only appears in flashbacks, this is the final appearance of the original layout of Stuart's comic book store in the series. Also returning are Howard's old bedroom, Raj' inability to talk to women, and Penny's old apartment 4B before it was taken over by Sheldon and Amy.

Bernadette only appears onscreen during the flashback scenes. Only her voice is heard (over the baby monitor) in the real time scenes. In the flashback scenes, she is standing behind a counter, undoubtedly to hide Melissa Rauch's real-life pregnancy.

Carol Ann Susi, who voiced Howard's mother, died November 11, 2014, more than three years before this episode was aired, with her last appearance in The Prom Equivalency (2014). Howard's mother's voice in the flashback is hers though, consisting of audio re-used from previous episodes.

Sheldon telling Amy to get a dish so he can serve her some cold revenge is a reference to the Klingon proverb "Revenge is a dish best served cold" from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982). The same proverb was also referred to by Sheldon in The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary (2009), when plotting his revenge against Wil Wheaton. In both cases, his set-up backfires significantly.

The Bitcoin Entanglement (2017) was advertised to include a major revelation about Leonard and Penny's relationship through the seven year old video left by a drunk Penny. She apologized to Leonard for breaking up with him in The Wheaton Recurrence (2010) because she loved him and was freaked out that someday they might get married and that it would be forever.

Title reference: a chaotic chain of events and memories is revealed when the boys are searching for their old Bitcoins.
